Chapter 2105 Yuan Zhou’s Research

Yuan Zhou nodded to express his understanding. When he sat on the rostrum, he originally wanted to let Mr. Chen sit, but the old man glared and said directly: "I am just here to attend the meeting. I will never do anything like this."

It was Xu Ban's turn to host this meeting. He and Wan Li came in turns, and this year it was his turn.

"The third celebrity chef communication summit has now officially begun. First of all, I would like to invite the initiator Yuan Zhou and President Yuan to give the opening speech." Xu Band said.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah"

A burst of warm applause broke out. With the support of many Yuan Chui present, the applause lasted for a long time. Even Mr. Chen took several shots to respond to the scene.

Yuan Zhou stood up and pressed down with his hands, and an invisible aura filled the air, and the applause naturally gradually became quieter.

"Everyone comes to the meeting to know about culinary issues, so that's the end of the opening speech. Let's get started." Yuan Zhou spoke concisely and sat down directly after speaking.

"As usual, we start with the question with the highest number of questions. The first question is when handling air drum fish, how can we tell whether the white fish and white skin are poisonous?" Xu Ban knew Yuan Zhou's habits and immediately started to read the first question. a question.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Mr. Chen next to Yuan Zhou straightened his back subconsciously, and he knew at a glance that it was him who asked the question.

Air drum fish is puffer fish. The old man is from Zhejiang Province. The names of puffer fish vary from place to place. Mr. Chen is an old-fashioned person and is used to the previous names. Some chefs may not know what the question is about unless they are reminded.

"I have been studying this problem for decades, but there is no effective method. Although I can guarantee that it is 99% non-toxic, the method cannot be widely used. This is too difficult for a top chef. It’s a pity that paying the price of life for delicious food is too heavy. I hope I can freely eat delicious food like air drum fish in the future.” Mr. Chen said seriously.

"Everyone can share your thoughts first." Yuan Zhou said.

This is the usual process of the Gaogou Meeting. First, everyone expresses their opinions. If there is no discussion and problems arise, Yuanzhou will talk about it last. If the discussion comes up, Yuanzhou will finalize it. This is how it all comes about. Anyway, there were so many problems in the previous two sessions. There will be no dissatisfaction.

From this, we can get a glimpse of how strong Yuan Zhou's culinary knowledge reserve is, which is one of the reasons why everyone is flocking to the conference.

But today Mr. Chen's question stumped everyone at the beginning. No one spoke for a long time. The problem that has been circulating for so long cannot be solved as soon as it is said to be solved, and it is not a play.

"I don't think there is an answer to this question. Although whether it is handled cleanly is indeed a matter of the chef's skills, even if it is cleaned, it is not completely safe." A tall chef said.

"If we can solve something that really benefits diners, not a lot of people die from street fish every year." Hearing this, you know that the person who said this must be a chef from Fujian Province. In Fujian Province, puffer fish is called street fish.

"I think it probably has something to do with the chef's skill. If his cooking skills are high, there won't be any problems." A short, fat chef said seriously.

"You're afraid you don't know who the old man sitting above is. Does the Fish King know? Now, except for Chef Yuan, who dares to compete with the old man in cooking fish? You have to keep your voice down." Bai Lang sat next to the chef and couldn't help but whisper. road.

The pudgy chef's face changed, and he looked carefully at the two people above him who didn't say anything anymore. Although the other chefs spoke more or less, they were basically not constructive. Think about it, if it is simple, then If it is discussed, it will not be worthy of the fish king who has been retired for 20 or 30 years to ask specifically.

After waiting for another ten minutes and no one spoke again, Yuan Zhou spoke.

When he spoke, Mr. Chen Zhongwen stared at Yuan Zhou with burning eyes.

His main goal this time is Yuan Zhou.

Mr. Chen felt that ordinary methods could not solve this problem, so some bizarre ideas were needed. Many popular famous dishes were the whims of talented chefs.

After learning about some of Yuan Zhou's experiences, Mr. Chen thought he could come to Gaogou Meeting.

The old man has a stubborn temper. He originally wanted to come here to ask for advice in person. After receiving the news that Yuanzhou held the Gaogou Meeting, he became keen to speak on it. The first two times he failed to meet the standard, this time he finally came.

"Actually, everyone here is right. This is indeed related to the chef's skills. Practice makes perfect. If you cook more fish, you can cut it open and take out the meat and hold it in your hands. You can feel the difference between poisonous and non-toxic." Yuan Zhou said something that seemed to be a basic operation, but was simply a fantasy.

This statement, including Mr. Chen, was dumbfounded. Can you detect the poison when you hold it in your hand? Mr. Chen thinks that the fish he has been making for so many years may be fake.

Mr. Chen always reacted like this, not to mention the other chefs here. Even one of them was dumbfounded. How could he possibly find out whether it was poisonous or not? There was a mouth on his hand?

"I have checked before. The toxin in pufferfish is called tetrodotoxin, or TTX for short. It is a non-protein neurotoxin. The pufferfish meat is very tender, and the pufferfish meat containing the toxin is more tender than the pufferfish meat from which the toxin has been removed, at least in terms of feel. That’s true, as for the taste, I haven’t tasted it.”

"So when dealing with puffer fish for a long time, you can set a benchmark for puffer fish meat quality in your mind. If you encounter a situation that exceeds this benchmark, you should pay attention." Yuan Zhou said: "Although this method is very simple, its universality is still a little less."

The chefs here are very silent, is it common? They believe what Yuan Zhou said is true, but how small is the difference between the quality of meat with toxins and without toxins?

But looking at Yuan Zhou's serious face, he couldn't say a word. Even Mr. Chen was like this.

"Artificially cultured puffer fish actually have a lot more toxins than water fish. I also found the simplest way. Bathing in warm water with seaweed will remove the remaining toxins. Of course, this is limited to artificial breeding. The specific method of using seaweed and other ingredients I have It will be announced after the meeting. Although it is not perfect, it can still be used." This recipe was indeed figured out by Yuan Zhou in his spare time.

Although dealing with puffer fish is a simple matter for him, in order to teach some disciples who are not suitable for his methods, he still thought of some simple methods.

"Really?" Mr. Chen stood up excitedly.

Even the chefs present were in an uproar. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhou actually developed this method.

It sounds very simple, that is, seaweed and warm water. Even if there are other things, it is combined with seaweed. However, in actual implementation, it takes a long time to be effective.

"My method works." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"It's great. I'll feel more at ease when eating drum fish in the future." Mr. Chen said quickly.
