Chapter 379: Attributes of Ingredients (Part 2)
“This is not a normal ingredient.”
Tamakawa Misa said with a tense face: "Listen, it's burning!"
"I heard the sound of flames burning..."
If it weren't for the words from Misa Tamakawa and any chefs were changed, Xia Yu turned around and left.
"Burning? What does it mean?"
Instead of leaving, Xia Yu pressed his chin against his chin and thought seriously.
"It's just burning!"
In a tone of course, Tamakawa Misa said: "In other words, this pufferfish is of fire attribute!"
"Well?"
After blinking, he carefully observed the change of Misa Tamakawa's expression. Seeing that she was always tense, Xia Yu reluctantly accepted: "Fire attributes? Do ingredients also have attributes?"
"some!"
Tamakawa Misa frowned, as if she was raising words and thinking about how to explain it.
property!
Xia Yu walked around in front of the kitchen counter with his hands behind his back, and suddenly slapped his forehead.
"Isn't fire one of the five elements?"
He suddenly thought of the boss of the dark cuisine world in China - "Rong Yunlong" Kaiyou.
Speaking of Kaiyou, we have to mention his unique skills—
"Eight Demon-Breaking Formations"!
This is the Dark Supreme recipe!
It is ranked alongside the ultimate recipe of China's Yibing Light System "Mother Sun Ball"!
The most terrifying thing about "Eight Formations of Demons" is that it uses the five elements attributes of food and supplemented by powerful qigong to forcibly change the five elements rules of food and the combination of five elements, creating a dark dish that can control people's hearts and turn the taster into a puppet!
After finding information that could prove the existence of food properties, Xia Yu immediately felt it was confirmed.
In fact, by learning medicinal food and being well-versed in pharmacology, Xia Yu also began to look at many ingredients from a medical perspective and gain a new perspective.
Metal, wood, water, fire, earth.
Corresponding to the five internal organs in traditional Chinese medicine: lung, liver, kidney, heart, and spleen.
Simply put, it is the fire heart, metal lung, wood liver, water kidney, and earth spleen.
Xia Yu can list many ingredients for "heart" and "fire", such as the most common ones, which contain rich blood pressure-lowering substances, strengthen blood vessels and promote blood circulation, include red pepper, carrot, tomatoes and other ingredients.
Understanding pharmacology and classifying ingredients according to their attributes is the most basic thing in the field of medicinal diet.
Therefore, from a pharmacological perspective, most fish have wood or soil properties.
For example, Xia Yu’s understanding of ordinary puffer fish is as follows:
"Eat has four characteristics: cold, hot, warm, and cool."
"Pufferfish are warm in nature and belong to wood."
"Warm the inside and dispel cold, help the yang and increase the fire, promote blood circulation and unblock the meridians..."
Shaking his head, he said something in a daze.
"Where is the puffer fish that belongs to the fire?"
A voice interrupted suddenly.
The voice came from behind. Xia Yu turned around in shock and found that it was an old man with a face.
A long white hair that looks like a woman, a men's kimono with a dark blue hue, and a wide yolk, which is actually very similar to a hoodie.
He hugged his hands on his chest, which naturally gave people a free and unrestrained temperament.
"Grandpa Nura!"
Misa Tamakawa exclaimed and quickly bowed ninety degrees, looking very respectful to the uninvited guest.
"Haha, Misa-chan, long time no see!"
The old man finally looked away from Xia Yu and looked at Misa Tamakawa, a face that still gave people a handsome feeling, with a kind smile written on it.
"It's been a long time!"
Tamakawa Misa lowered her head and whispered: "About me, you left Kamakura when I was in the first year of junior high school."
Nodded, the old man obviously disliked greetings, went straight into the kitchen, picked up the pufferfish on the chopping board, looked left and right, and suddenly said, "Hey, the boy over there, just use this pufferfish to make me a delicious meal!"
Who is this?
Boy's.
Xia Yu was very upset and said in a muffled voice: "My name is Xia Yu, please call me by my name, thank you."
"Well, Grandpa Nora, I'll make it for you to eat!" Misa Tamakawa looked up and said carefully, a trace of worry and anxiety flashed through her eyes when she glanced at Xia Yu.
This old man seems to be a heavyweight figure who cannot be offended.
"Although the delicious dishes made by Misa Chan are delicious, I still want to try this kid's-" The old man slowly raised his hand, pointed at Xia Yu, and made an abrupt and aggressive approach, "How about it, don't you dare? As long as you satisfy me, I will agree to you any request!"
The old man waved his hand and pretended to be generous.
Xia Yu rolled his eyes secretly.
"Sorry!"
He answered hard, and said in his heart: "I'm really soft but not hard!"
"A Yu..."
Misa Tamakawa winked at him, her anxious expression overwhelmed.
But Xia Yu just chuckled twice.
"It's not that I don't want to satisfy you, but it takes at least one day to deal with puffer fish. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"
As he said that, Xia Yu took the pufferfish back, thought about it carefully, and then dealt with the pufferfish.
First remove the eyes.
This scene was a bit bloody. The knife slashed and stabbed without any unnecessary movement. Two fish eyes with blood fell on the kitchen counter and rolled out far away.
The fish eyes were not broken, and the surrounding capsules were removed together.
"Wow—"
Then, a knife was like a pear blossom blooming!
The sudden light was too dazzling. Misa Tamakawa was slightly shocked and subconsciously raised her hand to cover her eyes.
"Oh?" The mature old man, however, his pupils shrank and he said to himself in the voice he heard, "...The Cow Green Dragon Slash? So familiar!"
With one knife, Xia Yu poked into the body of the pufferfish that was broken with one hand, and grabbed a large ball of internal organs with expressionless face.
The fishy smell spreads in the kitchen.
Step 3: Remove the fins! Remove the cheeks!
If an ordinary chef, at this step, he must use tools other than the knife, such as scissors. After removing the cheeks, he must also use scissors to cut off the flesh and blood that sticks to the bones inside. This is a very fine process. If one misses the step, a big problem will occur in the pufferfish and will not be careless.
As soon as Tamakawa Misa put down her palm, she saw Xia Yu slashing and slashing out two consecutive swords.
Then, a few fins scattered out.
I went to see the puffer fish on the chopping board again. My chubby body suddenly shrank and shriveled.
Another knife!
The pufferfish's tail was broken and blood gushed out of the port.
Bloodletting is a very critical step in dealing with puffer fish. If it is a live fish, it can open the mouth at the back of the head, which connects the fish's blood vessels and artery. Punching a wire can directly pass through the tail. The live fish will dry blood during convulsions.
But the dead fish have nothing to do.
Finally, the puffer fish's head and body are separated.
The body is processed at this point, and the head needs to be cut open to remove blood clots.
“Very skilled!”
The old man looked at Xia Yu's capable back with a strong look of admiration and said, "It seems that he must often deal with puffer fish, good at a certain puffer fish recipe, otherwise he would not be so confident and calm. Novice chefs learn to deal with puffer fish, and they are not careful, for fear of a slight mistake. Being careless is to harm others and oneself, not only to make diners die, but also to ruin their career as a chef!"
"yes!"
Tamakawa Misa responded.
"A Yu must have passed the special assessment of the IGO organization and already has the puffer fish chef qualification certificate!" She said confidently.
Puffer Fish Chef Qualification Certificate?
Xia Yu shrugged her shoulders with his back to the two of them.
He didn't have that kind of certificate.
So, before serving the puffer fish dish, he must taste it himself or give it to the animals.
Children should not imitate.
