Chapter 3464 Inquiry
Of course, it wasn't just Linton. Fubuki was also quickly attracted by the brown square. Of course, she was much more professional than Linton. She looked at it for a while and asked, "Is this... puffer fish jelly?"
Fish jelly, simply put, is the gelatin boiled out of fish skin and then frozen.
Linton actually recognized it when he heard Fubuki talking about fish jelly.
I remembered that I saw Xiang En bringing a lot of ice cubes just now. It seemed that he was just for making this. Considering that she spent a lot of time making it this time, she probably spent a lot of time waiting for the fish jelly. After all, the other two flavors shouldn't take too long to cook.
No wonder the two chefs who were cooking like trains spent a lot of time this time. One cooked the soup five times over there, and the other waited for the fish jelly here. They have to be symmetrical, right? Ice and fire. of.
No matter how it is done, the taste is still the most important, and everyone quickly started to taste it.
Linton slowed down a bit, as long as it wasn't to see who else, especially Fubuki, would eat first. For a dish with more than one flavor, Linton didn't know if there would be any comment on which one should be eaten first. If the order was wrong and the filling would be exposed, he could just copy Fubuki's recipe.
First is the sashimi, which is as delicious as expected.
This delicious food is mainly based on two things. On the one hand, it is Xiang En’s knife skills. This sashimi is cut as thin as cicada wings, which is not without explanation. In fact, puffer fish meat is completely different from fish meat like salmon that melts immediately when you put it in your mouth.
Fresh as it is, this fish has high toughness. If you cut it thickly, it will directly affect the taste. For example, if you cut it into a strip and chew it, it will taste like chewing gum, which is quite affecting. So in fact, the thinner the pufferfish sashimi is, the better, and Xiang En’s knife skills are fully demonstrated here.
The second aspect is the sashimi sauce specially prepared by Xiang En.
Linton also tasted this sauce. It should be a sauce made of citrus, let's call it citrus sauce. It can be said that it goes well with the pufferfish sashimi. It neutralizes the fishy feeling of freshness, while maintaining the umami taste to the greatest extent, improving the freshness and removing the fishy smell. It is quite perfect.
By the way, the people around were a little surprised to see Linton put the puffer fish sashimi directly into his mouth. After all, in this day and age, eating this thing is quite dangerous.
Unlike the non-toxic pufferfish that was specially bred in later generations, the pufferfish at this time required some mental preparation before eating it.
Others must not have known that Linton was not afraid of being poisoned. They only saw that Linton was so bold and felt that the new emperor was really courageous. More importantly, this is Xiang En's cooking. He is from the dark cooking world, and everyone has seen that this guy has no bottom line before. She didn't dare to use the previous taste numbing method on Linton. On the body, you must know that Linton is the emperor, okay? Aren’t you worried about what she might do with this puffer fish dish? So without hesitation?
However, Linton certainly had no hesitation, let alone saying that he was not afraid of being poisoned. He doesn't know much about cooking, but he understands people's hearts very well.
Is it possible that Xiang En poisoned himself? Absolutely impossible.
No matter how dark the dark cooking world is, they still cook. If one of your people cooked the food and directly poisoned the emperor to death, after that, your dark cooking world would become famous. Even the emperor would dare to poison him. Who would dare to eat your food if you don't dare to poison him?
The ultimate goal of this group of people is to control the whole country through cooking. If no one dares to eat their food, they will lose their own way. It's strange enough for a group of cooks to rebel, but if they block their own way, they will directly die from the world.
You don't really think that you can become the emperor by killing the emperor. Rebellion is a rebellion, and it needs someone to support it. Who can support this cook? If no one dares to eat your food, who will support you? This is completely different from Xiang En's previous attempt to blow up Linton. Regicide and using food to kill the king are not a concern at all, at least for these cooks.
So Linton can guarantee that Xiang En's cooking is 100% fine. Of course, if there are any problems, he doesn't care.
As for why no one in the emperor tested the poison, it was a joke that Linton, the emperor, was only on duty temporarily, so where did he get the chance to test the poison?
At this time, Linton also saw that his little niece chose fish jelly for the second time, so Linton had nothing to say and just followed suit.
When a piece of fish is frozen, it has a very refreshing taste, which is beyond Linton's expectation.
Linton has also eaten other fish jelly, and the taste is quite strong, usually the kind that can be eaten directly with rice.
But this fish jelly tastes quite fresh and has surprisingly little flavor.
The only thing that can be clearly tasted is the taste of soy sauce, so the fish jelly is brown, so it should be because soy sauce has been added. Linton couldn't eat the rest anyway, so he didn't know how to do it at all. He could only watch Fubuki perform for a while.
Finally, there are puffer fish nuggets. What was unexpected was that the fish nuggets were still paired with the citrus sauce. Linton had thought that the citrus sauce was just a sashimi sauce, but he didn’t expect that it could be paired with fried food.
The taste of this fried fish nugget can be simply described as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, wrapped in crispy skin on the outside. It is not very thick. Linton feels like it is fried in a tempura way.
Of course, although the original work talks about things in China, the author is from Japan, so it is not surprising that Linton has such a slightly inconsistent situation. You can feel it when it comes to sashimi. Although fish dumplings should have originated from China, not many people usually eat it like this. There are quite a few people who died from eating it, such as Chen Deng during the Three Kingdoms period.
So these are not too important, what is important is that it tastes good.
Citrus sauce has a very good anti-greasy effect, so it is also delicious when paired with fried food.
And after eating these three flavors of puffer fish dishes, Linton could also feel a quite satisfying sense of hierarchy. So my guess must be correct. It seems that there is really an order of eating for this thing, right?
"Yeah, that's it." Chui Xue started to speak at this time, looked at Xiang En and asked, "If I guessed correctly, are there some toxins left in your cooking? Tell me, you did it on purpose. Or accidentally? ”
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Fubuki's words. Is there some toxin left? Are you kidding me? Do you really want to poison the emperor?
"I did it on purpose." Xiang En took a step forward and said.
"What?" The surrounding audience was even more surprised. Is it really poisonous? Did you admit it directly?
