Chapter 823: Little Blowfish
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wallace made a reservation at a Japanese restaurant at 7:30 pm. After coming out of the cat café, Wallace took a taxi and brought Sharon to the Japanese restaurant.
This Japanese restaurant was not big and was hidden in the lively streets. After walking past the most prosperous street in the small city, next to the residential building was this Japanese restaurant called “Xun”.
There was a big green tree at the entrance of the shop and an orange-yellow street lamp. The bright orange-yellow color and the erald green of the trees looked especially artistic.
The shop wasn’t particularly big. There were only three small private rooms, but the decoration was very exquisite. This was a pufferfish-thed Japanese restaurant. The small lanterns decorated inside were all in the shape of pufferfish. The paintings on the wall were all cute little pufferfish. “Hello, is this Mr. Harris?” The attendant welcod Wallace and Sharon in.
“Yes, I booked a pufferfish banquet at 7:30, ” Wallace said.
“Alright, please co in. You can sit in the private room here.”
There were all kinds of fish displayed in the ingredients area on the first floor. A few of them looked very special. Their backs were dark brown, and their bellies were white.
“Hubby, what do you think these are?” Sharon squatted down and observed curiously.
“This should be a pufferfish.” Wallace had specially chosen this shop because the specialty of this shop was the pufferfish feast. Although this shop was small, the pufferfish made by this shop was very authentic. Many tourists from overseas ca because of its reputation.
“These are pufferfish,” the attendant explained enthusiastically.
The attendant was a tall and strong middle-aged man. He grabbed a pufferfish and showed it to Sharon and Wallace.
The little pufferfish was originally in the shape of a fish. After being held in his hand, it began to puff up and quickly swelled up like a ball. When the pufferfish was threatened, it would suck in air or seawater, making its stomach bulge like a prickly hedgehog.
Wallace suddenly felt that Sharon was like this little pufferfish. When she was threatened, she would defend herself. She was covered in thorns and wasn’t afraid of anyone, but in front of soone she trusted, she could expose her softest parts to the other party.
“It’s so cute,” Sharon sighed. This pufferfish looked especially cute when it was angry and silly.
“You can touch it,” the attendant said with a smile.
“It even has front teeth,” Sharon said.
“Its teeth are five tis harder than human teeth. It can bite through wire.”
Hearing the attendant’s words, Sharon quickly retracted her hand that wanted to touch the fish. When the pufferfish didn’t bulge just now, Sharon didn’t recognize it. After it bulged, Sharon rembered that she had seen introductions and videos of the pufferfish before.
The liver, blood, fish, eyes, and skin of pufferfish were highly toxic. It was said that a gram of pufferfish toxin could kill 500 adult males. It was more than a thousand tis more toxic than cyanide. According to statistics, an average of 70 people in Japan die from eating puffer fish every year. Moreover, puffer fish’s teeth were very powerful. They could crush shells as easily as humans munching on lon seeds.
“Hubby, the pufferfish is poisonous. Let’s not eat it. What if it’s not cleaned properly?” Sharon said worriedly.
“The blood and liver of pufferfish are highly toxic, and the at of pufferfish is basically non-toxic. I’ve learned before that their shop has been open for many years, and the chefs here have professional qualification certificates,” Wallace “Don’t worry, our masters who deal with pufferfish here are all qualified to work and have more than 20 years of experience. It takes at least an hour to deal with a pufferfish. We’ll wash and treat it with 60 liters of water. We’ll put the puffer fish’s internal organs and other poisonous substances in a special box and lock them,” the attendant said after hearing Sharon’s words. The attendant also introduced that this shop had been open for more than 20 years and had never had a safety accident.
“Honey, are you sure you want to eat?” Sharon looked into Wallace’s eyes and said. This was the place Wallace had chosen. With Wallace’s reliable personality, safety was definitely guaranteed, but Sharon was still a little afraid, but she was also a little eager to try. If Wallace decided to try, she could only risk her life to accompany him.
“Don’t worry, their shop has been operating for so many years and has never had an accident,” Wallace comforted Sharon.
“Alright.” Sharon walked into the private room and put down her bag..
