Chapter 40 Fish Feast
Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened. Lin Yuan suggested.
"Let's go back to the Villa Hotel and ask the boss to cook the fish. It's getting late, and it's time for dinner."
"Okay." Everyone answered.
So they came to the Villa Hotel. The boss saw that they were back and came forward to entertain them warmly.
"You're back! Then I'll go cook the fish. What do you want to eat?"
"Boss, just make us whatever you are good at!"
"Okay, it happens that you have caught a lot of fish, I will give you a full fish feast."
"Okay." Everyone answered in unison.
"Do you want to see me cook fish? No one will come at this time. Chefs like us who specialize in cooking fish will really want customers to see the process of their own cooking."
Lin Yuan heard the boss say this and immediately answered.
"As long as the boss is not afraid that we will learn the secret recipe."
"Don't worry, I still have this confidence. After all, it is an exclusive secret recipe."
The boss returned to the kitchen, and everyone followed to watch.
The boss's skilled technique was eye-catching. He first put the fish on the chopping board, knocked it unconscious, quickly scraped off the scales, cut open the fish belly, and cleaned out the internal organs.
The fresh smell of the fish filled the air, making people salivate.
Then, the boss cleaned the processed fish, cut it into even-sized pieces, sautéed it with onions, ginger, and garlic, and then added soy sauce, sugar, cooking wine and other seasonings to stew.
The heat was just right, and the fish rolled gently in the pot, exuding a rich aroma.
Everyone was looking forward to the whole fish feast that was about to be served.
After watching the boss's operation, several people returned to their seats.
The boss came out of the kitchen pushing a cart and introduced it to everyone.
"This is fish hot pot, a unique pot base of our store. I'm cutting fish fillets for you, and you can eat it fresh."
The boss smiled confidently, took out a fish that was still trembling slightly from the large iron basin on the car, and put it on the chopping board.
He picked up a sharp knife, and the blade flashed coldly under the light.
His technique was both quick and accurate. His hand shook, and the knife flashed, and slices of fish slices as thin as cicada wings were neatly arranged on the plate.
Everyone was stunned, attracted by the boss's knife skills, and forgot the passage of time.
The boss looked at his work with satisfaction, and then smiled and pushed the plate to everyone.
The fish slices were put into the pot, and the fragrance filled the air, making people want to taste it.
"Wait a minute before eating! It's not cooked yet." Su Muya reminded Xuanxuan when she saw that Xuanxuan was about to pick up the fish meat.
"I was just attracted by the taste~" Xuanxuan replied a little embarrassedly.
The boss turned back to the kitchen and continued to prepare other dishes.
A few people were left around the hot pot, staring at the fish meat rolling in the pot.
Xuanxuan swallowed her saliva and forced herself to wait patiently.
Su Muya looked at Xuanxuan's appearance, couldn't help but chuckle, and reached out to pat her head gently.
"Mu Ya, why did you hit me?"
"I was afraid that your saliva would drip into the pot."
As the two of them were playing, Lin Yuan picked up the teacup in front of him, blew away the hot air in the cup, and then took a sip.
Everyone was a little anxious because they couldn't eat the fish in the pot. Only Lin Yuan and Su Qingqing were waiting quietly.
Soon, the soup in the pot began to gurgle, and the fish slices swayed gently in the boiling soup, gradually becoming crystal clear.
Everyone's eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to stretch out their chopsticks.
"Be careful of the heat!" Su Mu Ya reminded.
But everyone couldn't hold back, and they picked up the fish slices, blew on them, and then put them into their mouths.
The tender fish meat jumped on the tip of the tongue, and the fragrance was overflowing, making people can't help but close their eyes and taste it carefully.
"Wow, it's so delicious!" Xuan Xuan exclaimed, his eyes sparkling and full of satisfaction.
Su Muya also showed a satisfied smile. She picked up a piece of fish and chewed it carefully, enjoying the wonderful taste.
Lin Yuan took a pair of public chopsticks, picked up a bowl of fish for Su Qingqing, and then handed it over and said.
"Senior Qingqing, the hot pot is a little far from you, so I used the public chopsticks to pick up a bowl for you. Don't worry, I haven't used this bowl before."
Su Qingqing was stunned for a while, then took the bowl and said.
"Thank you, don't pick it up for me anymore, I can get it."
"Okay, Senior Qingqing, call me if you need it."
Just as the few people were eating with relish, the boss brought another new dish.
This time it was a whole grilled fish, and the golden fish skin was sprinkled with crispy sesame seeds and chopped green onions, exuding a mouth-watering aroma.
The boss smiled confidently.
"This is our signature dish, secret grilled fish, the fish is tender and juicy, with special sauce, it is simply a delicacy."
With the arrival of the grilled fish, the whole room was filled with the fresh smell of fish.
Xuanxuan and Ling'er's eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to reach out their chopsticks.
Su Muya couldn't help but taste it, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.
Lin Yuan quietly observed Su Qingqing, and saw her chewing slowly and savoring every bite of fish.
Then Lin Yuan also picked up a chopstick to taste it.
"The boss of this place really has a way to cook fish." Lin Yuan sighed.
"Indeed, I really hope I can always eat this kind of delicacy in the future."
Soon, the fish stewed in the boss's pot was also out of the pot.
This dish is different from the previous fish fillet. It is a cut fish, which is stewed soft and tasty, exuding a rich aroma.
The boss carefully brought the fish to the table, and everyone's eyes lit up and gathered around.
The fish body was stewed until it was soft and tender. With a light pinch of chopsticks, the fish meat was easily separated.
The soup was rich and permeated with the flavor of various spices, making people want to find out.
Su Muya tried it first, and her eyes immediately lit up, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.
"This fish is stewed so well, the fish meat is fresh and tender, it is simply a delicacy on earth!"
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Really, you guys try it."
So everyone also picked up a piece of fish and tasted it. The reaction was without exception, all immersed in the deliciousness.
Finally, the boss smiled and brought a plate of fried fish, the golden fish meat exuded an attractive aroma.
The boss introduced gently.
"This is the specialty of our store. It is made of fresh fish wrapped in special batter and fried. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the taste is excellent. This dish is given to you, I hope you like it."
With the arrival of the fried fish, the whole room was filled with fragrance again.
Xuanxuan and Ling'er's eyes widened, and their mouths were watering.
Su Muya and Su Qingqing couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried fish to taste.
Lin Yuan and the other two boys seemed very reserved, and they waited until the girls started to eat before they picked up their chopsticks.
The taste of the fried fish was indeed as expected, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and full of fragrance.
Every time you bite it, you can hear a "crackling" sound, which is the sound of the perfect combination of crispy batter and tender fish meat.
"Delicious! It's really delicious." Everyone commented.
