1, there is a story in history that Su Dongpo desperately eats puffer fish. On one occasion, Su Dongpo's friend got a puffer fish, washed it very cleanly and made it very carefully, and invited Su Dongpo to taste it. Friends are making it for the first time, but family members are afraid to eat it first, so they all hide behind the screen, hoping to hear the evaluation of gourmet Su Dongpo.
2. When the puffer fish was served on the table, Su Dongpo picked up chopsticks without saying anything, and only heard the sound of chewing indoors. After a long time, everyone was disappointed and wanted to step down, only to hear Su Dongpo sing: "Death is worth it." Su Dongpo risked his life to eat puffer fish and became an example for later diners.
This puffer fish, known as the "Red Chicken", was recorded in Jiangyin County Records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas in the Ming Dynasty: "A puffer fish, beginning of spring, came from the middle of the river and flourished in February. Without cheeks and scales, the mouth can open and make a sound, and the blood in the abdomen, eyes, sperm and spine is toxic. " Li Shizhen explained: "Dolphins are delicious."
In Lun Heng, Wang Chong explained that puffer fish is poisonous because it is "born with the fire of the sun". The ancients were cautious about the cooking methods of puffer fish, and there were many taboos. Eating puffer fish must be made into sauce, and the soybeans used must be pure yellow. If the beans are impure, puffer fish will die if they are dipped in the sauce. Clean the house when making puffer fish.
When opening the lid, you should put an umbrella above the pot to block the oil smoke, in case the oil smoke falls, the food will die; If you cook puffer fish, you must thoroughly cook it. If you don't eat it, you will die.
