2106 Yuan Zhou's research

Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he understood. Then, he sat on the seat of the chairman. He had intended to let Grandpa Chen sit there, but the old man glared at him and said,""I'm just here to attend the meeting. I won't do something like overshadowing the host."

This time, it was Xu ban's turn to host the meeting. He and Wan Li took turns, and it just so happened to be his turn this year.

"The third famous chef communication high conference will now officially begin. First of all, let's invite the initiator, Yuan Zhou, and Chairman Yuan, to give the opening speech." Xu ban said.

"Pa pa pa pa"

A round of enthusiastic applause rang out. With the support of many Yuan Chui's present, the applause lasted for a long time. Even old master Chen clapped a few times to fit the occasion.

Yuan Zhou stood up and pressed his hands down. An invisible aura then spread out and the applause gradually quieted down.

"Everyone came to this meeting to know about cooking problems, so the opening speech ends here. Let's start directly." Yuan Zhou said concisely and to the point. After that, he directly sat down.

"According to the usual practice, let's start with the question with the highest number of questions. The first question is, how can you tell if the white and white muscles of the fish are poisonous when you are processing the pimple fish?" Knowing Yuan Zhou's habit, Xu ban immediately started to read the first question.

As soon as he said that, Grandpa Chen next to Yuan Zhou straightened his back subconsciously. It was obvious that he was the one who asked the question.

Pufferfish was pufferfish. Grandpa Chen was from Zhejiang Province, and pufferfish had different names. Grandpa Chen was an old-fashioned person, so he was used to calling it pufferfish. Some chefs might not even know what the question was if they were not reminded.

"I've studied this problem for decades, but I haven't found an effective way to solve it. Although I can guarantee that 99% of it is non-toxic, the method can't be widely used. It's a pity for me, a top-tier chef, to pay the price of my life for delicious food. I hope that I can freely eat delicious food like the drum fish in the future." Old grandfather Chen said very seriously.

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

This was the usual process of the Gaogou conference. First, everyone would express their opinions. If there were no problems during the discussion, Yuan Zhou would speak last. If there were problems, Yuan Zhou would perfect them at the end. This was how it worked. Anyway, there were so many problems in the previous two sessions, and there had never been any dissatisfaction.

From this, one could see how strong Yuan Zhou's cooking knowledge reserve was. This was also one of the reasons why everyone was so eager to attend the meeting.

But today, old master Chen's question had stumped everyone from the beginning. No one spoke for a long time. How could a problem that had been circulating for so long be solved so easily? it was not like they were playing house.

"I don't think there's an answer to this question. Although it's indeed a matter of the chef's skill whether it's clean or not, it's not completely safe even after it's clean." A tall chef said.

"If we can solve it, it'll really benefit the diners. There are a lot of people dying from Street fish every year." It was obvious that the person who said that was a chef from min province, and they called puffer fish Street fish in min province.

"I think it's more likely to be related to the chef's skills. With a high level of cooking, there won't be a problem." A short and fat Chef said seriously.

"Don't you know who that old man sitting up there is? do you know about the king of fish? other than head chef Yuan, who else would dare to compete with that old man in fish cooking? you better keep your voice down." Bai Lang, who was sitting beside the chef, couldn't help but whisper.

The short and fat chef's expression changed. He carefully looked at the two people in the seat of honor and didn't say anything. Although the other chefs more or less said something, they basically didn't provide any constructive information. Thinking about it, it made sense. If it was easy to discuss, it wouldn't be worth the fish King, who had retired for twenty or thirty years, to come and ask.

After waiting for another 10 minutes and no one spoke, Yuan Zhou finally said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Zhongwen stared at Yuan Zhou with a burning gaze. His main purpose here was Yuan Zhou.

Grandpa Chen felt that ordinary methods couldn't solve this problem, so he needed some weird ideas. Many famous dishes were the sudden ideas of genius chefs.

Ever since he learned about Yuan Zhou's experiences, Grandpa Chen felt that he could attend the Gaogou conference.

The old man was a stubborn man. He had originally intended to come here to ask for guidance personally. However, after he received the news that Yuan Zhou was holding the Gaogou conference, he began to be keen on speaking on the platform. He had failed to meet the requirements for the previous two meetings and only came here this time when he finally met the requirements.

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

The moment he opened his mouth, everyone, including grandfather Chen, was dumbfounded. He could detect whether it was poisonous or not just by holding it in his hand? Grandpa Chen felt that the fish he had been making for so many years might be fake.

Even Grandpa Chen had such a reaction, let alone the other chefs. They were all dumbfounded. How could they tell if there was poison or not? there was a mouth on the hand.

"I've checked before. The poison of the pufferfish is called tetrodotoxin, or TTX for short. It's a non-protein neurotoxin. The meat of a pufferfish is very tender, and the meat of a pufferfish that contains poison is even more tender than the meat of a pufferfish that has been removed clean of the poison. At least, that's how it feels. As for the taste, I've never tasted it before."

"Therefore, if you handle pufferfish for a long time, you can set a standard for the quality of the pufferfish in your heart. If you encounter a situation that exceeds this standard, it's worth paying attention to." "Although this method is very simple, it's not as common," said Yuan Zhou.

The chefs present were silent. Universal? They believed what Yuan Zhou said was true. However, how small was the difference between the quality of meat with and without poison?

However, when they looked at Yuan Zhou's serious expression that was originally like that, they couldn't say a single word. Even Grandpa Chen felt the same way.

"There are actually a lot more artificial pufferfish than poisonous ones. I also found the simplest way, which is to use seaweed to warm water to extract the remaining toxins. Of course, this is only limited to artificial cultivation. I will announce the specific use of seaweed and other ingredients after the meeting. Although it is not perfect, it can still be used." This prescription was indeed thought out by Yuan Zhou himself when he was free.

Although dealing with pufferfish was an extremely simple matter for him, he still thought of a simpler method to teach some disciples who were not suitable to use his method.

"Really?" Old master Chen stood up in excitement.

Even the chefs present were in an uproar. They had never expected that Yuan Zhou had actually researched such a method.

It sounded very simple, which was just seaweed and warm water. Even if there were others, they were just used in conjunction with seaweed. But when it came to actual implementation, it would take a long time to try.

"According to my method, it's useful." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"That's great. I can eat the pimple fish without worry in the future. " Old grandfather Chen spoke very quickly.
