I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3464 Asking
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 took a quick look and asked, "Is this... puffer fish jelly?"

Fish jelly, to put it simply, is the gelatin made from fish skin and then frozen.

When Linton heard Fubuki mention fish jelly, he recognized it.

I remembered that I had just seen Xiang En bring a large pile of ice cubes over here, and it seemed that she was making this. Thinking about how she spent a lot of time making it this time, I guess a lot of time was spent waiting for the fish to freeze, after all, the other two flavors should not take too long to cook.

No wonder these two chefs who were cooking in a hurry took so much time this time. One of them was boiling the soup five times, and the other was waiting for the fish jelly. They had to have symmetry, right? Ice and fire and all that.

No matter how it is done, taste is the most important thing, and everyone quickly started tasting it.

Linton was a little slow, as long as he didn't see which one others, especially Fubuki, would eat first. For this kind of dish with more than one flavor, Linton didn't know whether there would be any rules about which one to eat first, in case the order was wrong and the secret was exposed, anyway, he just copied Fubuki's way.

First up was the sashimi, which was just as delicious as I had imagined.

The taste is mainly based on two points. One is Xiang En's knife skills. The sashimi is cut as thin as a cicada's wing, and there is a reason for that. In fact, the meat of puffer fish is completely different from the meat of salmon that melts in your mouth.

Fresh as it is, the fish meat is very tough. If you cut it too thick, it will directly affect the taste. For example, if you cut it into a strip and chew it, it will have a chewing gum-like texture, which is quite detrimental. Therefore, the thinner the puffer fish 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 the sauce, which should be made of citrus, so let's call it citrus sauce. It is a perfect match with the puffer fish sashimi, neutralizing the raw fishy feeling while maintaining the freshness to the greatest extent, enhancing the freshness and removing the fishy smell, which is quite perfect.

By the way, when people around saw Linton put the puffer fish sashimi directly into his mouth, they were a little surprised. After all, eating this thing is quite dangerous in this era.

Unlike the non-toxic pufferfish that are specially farmed in later generations, you have to be mentally prepared before eating the pufferfish at that time.

Others definitely don't know that Linton is not afraid of being poisoned. They just see that Linton is so bold and think that the new emperor is really courageous. More importantly, this is Xiang En's dish. He is a person in the dark cooking world. And everyone has seen that this guy has no bottom line. She dared not use the taste numbing method on Linton before. You know, Linton is the emperor. Aren't you worried that she will do something else with the puffer fish dish this time? Just without hesitation?
However, Linton certainly did not hesitate at all, not to mention that he was not afraid of being poisoned. He did not know much about cooking, but he knew a lot about human nature.

Is it possible that Xiang En poisoned himself? Absolutely impossible.

No matter how dark the dark cuisine world is, they still cook. If your people cooked and directly poisoned the emperor to death, then your dark cuisine world would be famous. If you dare to poison even the emperor, who else would you not dare to poison? Who would dare to eat your food?

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 be cutting off their own path. It is strange enough for a group of chefs to rebel, and if they block their own path, they will be cutting off their own path.

You don't really think that you can become the emperor by killing the emperor, do you? Rebellion is rebellion, but you still need support. Who can support this chef? 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. Killing the king and killing the king with food are not the same thing, at least for these chefs.

So Linton dared to guarantee that Xiang En’s cooking was 100% flawless. Of course, he didn’t care if there were any problems.

As for why no one tried poison on the emperor, that's a joke. Linton was only in office temporarily, so how could he test poison?

At this time, Linton saw that his niece was the second one to choose fish jelly, so Linton had nothing to say and ate it too.

When a piece of fish was frozen, it had a very refreshing taste, which was beyond Linton's expectation.

Linton has eaten other fish jellies before, and the taste of the ones he tasted was quite strong, usually the kind that can be eaten directly with rice.

But this fish jelly has a very fresh taste and surprisingly little flavor.

The only thing that can be clearly tasted is the taste of soy sauce, so the fish jelly is brown, probably because soy sauce has been added. As for the rest, Linton can't taste it anyway, and has no idea how it's made. He can only watch Fubuki perform.

The last dish was fried puffer fish nuggets. What was unexpected was that the fried fish nuggets were still served with this citrus sauce. Linton had thought that this citrus sauce was just a sashimi sauce, but he didn't expect it could be paired with fried food.

The taste of the fried fish nuggets can be simply described as crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is wrapped in a crispy crust that is not very thick. Linton feels that it is fried like tempura.

Of course, although the original novel is about China, the author is Japanese, so it is not surprising that such a slightly inconsistent situation occurs. You can feel it when sashimi appears. Although fish sashimi should also have originated in China, not many people usually eat it this way. Many people died from eating this way, such as Chen Deng during the Three Kingdoms period.

So these are not too important, what’s important is that it tastes good.

Citrus sauce is very effective in relieving greasiness, so it is also delicious when paired with fried foods.

After eating these three flavors of puffer fish dishes, Linton could also feel a very satisfying sense of hierarchy. So my guess should be correct, it seems that there is really an order to eat this thing, right?

"Hmm, I see." Fubuki started to speak at this time, looking at Xiang En and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, is there some toxin left in your food? Tell me, did you do it on purpose or by accident?"

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned when they heard Fubuki's words. Some toxins were left? Are you kidding? Are you really trying to poison the emperor?
"I did it on purpose." Xiang En on this side stepped forward and said.

"What?" The audience around was even more surprised. It's really poisonous? And you admitted it directly?
