Chapter 1491 Chapter 480 Eight: The Mystery of Lemon Shrimp

After drawing lots, Huo Zixuan played against Chi Xiaosheng, and Baiming played against Liu Yehan.

Regarding this result, Chi Xiaosheng secretly complained. After all, Huo Zixuan is an eighth-rank food spirit, and his rank is higher than Huo Ziwen. Regardless of Huo Ziwen's spiritual pupil, his comprehensive strength ranked first in the same year.However, Liu Yehan secretly rejoiced that he was also a direct descendant of the Liu family after all, boasting that his strength was second only to Huo Zixuan, and he was absolutely sure against Baiming.

"For this duel, I will give you a dish. This dish may feel unfamiliar to you, but I will not give you tips, let alone give you specific steps and dosage. You need to figure it out according to the name of the dish. Whether you succeed or fail depends entirely on yourselves," Qin Yu said.

Everyone became nervous when they heard the words. For familiar dishes, the amount of ingredients, the ratio of seasonings, and the heat, etc., almost all the big food are very clear.For unfamiliar dishes, you need to think about these aspects yourself, which is a test of cooking experience, familiarity with ingredients and on-the-spot adaptability.

If it is the food king and food emperor, he has rich experience and knowledge, and may be able to adapt to it, but for the food master Shiling, he has insufficient experience, and it will be even more difficult to adapt to it.

Qin Yu glanced over the faces of the four people, and after a moment of silence, he finally announced the name of the dish: "Garlic Lemon Shrimp!"

Garlic Lemon Shrimp!
Hearing this name, not only the students in the audience were stunned, but even the old principal and Duan Zhensheng were stunned. They didn't know what question Qin Yu would ask in advance, so when they heard the word lemon, they felt a little confused.

The reason is very simple. Lemons are not resistant to shade, cold or high temperature, and they like a warm environment around [-] degrees. This has led to the fact that there are no lemon trees planted in Jiangguo, which in turn makes it almost impossible to use lemons in the cooking of Jiangguo. Not familiar with lemons at all.

The facts are indeed true. The lemon producing areas of the Gourmet Continent are mainly located in the Qi State and the middle area. Because the fresh-keeping and freight measures of the Gourmet Continent are very backward, it is difficult to ship large quantities of lemons to marginal countries. A small amount of lemons that arrive through special channels, They are also special offerings for aristocratic royal families and food palaces, which are rarely seen in ordinary food, let alone used.

Therefore, Qin Yu proposed the garlic lemon shrimp dish, which is not difficult for Dashi in the lemon producing area and its vicinity, but it is more difficult for Dashi in Jiangguo, especially for inexperienced spiritual food eaters. Difficult.

"Is there any problem?" Qin Yu glanced over the four people's faces again. His purpose was to confuse them, so as to test their true depth. Now it seems that the purpose should be achieved.

The expressions of the four were different. Huo Zixuan, Liu Yehan and Chi Xiaosheng all shook their heads to express that there was no problem. Even if there was a problem at this time, they couldn't lose their momentum.

Bai Ming didn't argue, but raised a question in his heart: "I've heard people say that shrimp and lemon can't be eaten together, otherwise it will form arsenic to poison people. Is this statement true or false? If it is true, why? How about cooking shrimp with lemon?"

This question immediately made Huo Zixuan, Liu Yehan and Chi Xiaosheng look sideways, and the three of them felt a little bit in their hearts, obviously thinking of this statement.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay. Is there such a saying?Why haven't they heard of it?

Qin Yu nodded secretly. Bai Ming's ability to raise this question first showed that she was already thinking from the very beginning, and being good at thinking is precisely the ability that an excellent Dashi needs most.

"There is indeed such a saying, and it is indeed not unreasonable, but do you know what the principle is?" Qin Yu asked.

Bai Ming shook her head: "I don't know, please ask Qin Dashi to clarify!"

"Does anyone know?" Qin Yu looked at the others again.

The old homeowner stroked his beard and said: "The old man knows something. It seems that there is something special in the shrimp, which can react with lemon and turn into arsenic."

"Actually, it's not just shrimp, shellfish such as crabs and clams also contain that semi-toxic substance, which will become a complete toxin after contact with lemon." Qingyi added.

Qin Yu nodded: "Yes, not only shrimp, crabs and many shellfish contain an element called arsenic. The substance in lemons that can react with arsenic is called vitamin C. When high doses of vitamin C and pentavalent arsenic When they meet, pentavalent arsenic will be reduced to trivalent arsenic, which is diarsenic trioxide, and diarsenic trioxide is arsenic, which is the principle of toxin formation!"

arsenic?Vitamin C?Pentavalent trivalent reduction?Arsenic trioxide?What are these things?Never heard of this?
Not to mention the many young foodies, even Qing Yi, who is well-educated, has never heard of it. Bai Ming blinked and nodded, half understanding, "I understand, but I don't understand what arsenic and vitamin C are, and why they are separated. Pentavalent and trivalent? Why is trivalent poisonous?"

"These designs are so profound that you can't explain them in a single word. You just need to remember that shrimp and lemons produce toxins because of the reaction between arsenic and vitamin C," Qin Yu said.

Bai Ming nodded and said, "I remember, but since arsenic is indeed produced, why do we have to do it together?"

Qin Yu smiled: "I just said high-dose vitamin C, how much juice can one or two lemons produce? How much vitamin C is in these lemon juices? And in the cooking process, vitamin C will be destroyed when it encounters high temperature , and thus lose the ability to form toxins.”

Murong Xue suddenly said: "I remembered, Brother Qin Yu, you said that many metal elements are mainly accumulated in the heads of shrimps and crabs. As long as the heads are removed, most of the metal elements can be removed. Arsenic should be like this!"

"Yes, this is the important reason for removing the shrimp heads." Qin Yu smiled approvingly at Murong Xue, then turned to Bai Ming and said, "Now you understand, that statement is too exaggerated, as long as it is handled properly and the dosage is controlled. safe."

"Thank you Qin Dashi for your teaching, and thank you Murong Dashi for your teaching." Bai Ming even thanked Murong Xue.

Everyone immediately realized a problem. Murong Xue was able to know this knowledge, thanks to Qin Yu's contribution. Who can stay by Qin Yu's side for a long time, and even become Qin Yu's disciple. Not only can the strength be improved rapidly, but also the academic aspect can be greatly benefited. Maybe in the future, it will even become famous in the food classics.

Sure enough, there were too many benefits of being Qin Yu's disciple, Huo Zixuan clenched his fists secretly, he was going to be the leader, and no one would try to grab him!
"Okay, now that you understand it, let's start." Qin Yu waved his hand and took out a basket full of fresh lemons. These lemons are all produced in the Super Gourmet System plantation. They are of excellent quality and freshly picked, with yellow and green hues. The bright shape is round/round, with a peduncle attached to the green leaves, and a pointed end like a horn, which looks very attractive/attractive.

(It can also be considered as a rumor for lemon shrimp, just don’t drink lemon juice and don’t eat Vc tablets after eating. By the way, ask for a ticket on the last day of the month~)
