I Just Want to Be a Salted Fish in Peace

　　This is a private restaurant. After getting off the bus, Zhong Bo led them into the restaurant.

　　It could be seen that the owner of this restaurant had a very good relationship with Uncle Zhong. He didn't talk nonsense when he saw Uncle Zhong, and threw the key to him directly.

　　Then he came to Liao Jie, patted him on the shoulder, and finally left with the staff.

　　Without saying a word, he left the entire restaurant to them.

　　"The boss here used to be the chef of Ji Rui Building. He taught him a few skills back then." Zhong Bo explained with a smile.

　　The entire restaurant is not large, only [-] or [-] square meters. The decoration is very stylish. The most unique thing is that the kitchen is designed in the center of the hall.

　　More than a dozen dining tables surround the kitchen like the stars and the moon.

　　The purpose of this design is to allow diners to see the complete process of the chef's cooking, which is very interesting.

　　"Sit down for a while! Ingredients and tools will be delivered later."

　　After greeting Lin Xian and the others to sit down, Uncle Zhong made a pot of tea for them and said, "The real yellow croaker in soup has very strict requirements on ingredients, it is best to use wild large yellow croaker that weighs more than seven pounds, but it's a pity. 14. Now wild large yellow croaker is becoming more and more rare, and the price is too expensive, so it can only be replaced by farmed ones. I hope Mr. Lin doesn't mind!"

　　"fine!"

　　Lin Xian can understand this.

　　After all, wild large yellow croakers are now even rarer than Splendid lobsters, especially wild large yellow croakers weighing seven pounds, which sometimes may not be found in a year.

　　Even if there are occasional fishermen who can catch them, they will be snapped up as soon as they land, and they will not end up in the market at all.

　　Therefore, this kind of food does not mean that you can eat it with money, but also requires a certain amount of luck.

　　Of course, if the money is not bad, tens of millions or [-] million are spent, and thousands of fishing boats are employed to fish day and night, it is still possible to eat within a day or two.

　　Lin Xian took a sip of hot tea and said curiously, "Uncle Zhong, when I was in the magic capital, I ate the yellow croaker in soup made by Master Gao Jianxiang. He once said that he was missing a crucial step. It's convenient to say something. say?"

　　After all, when it comes to the secrets of other people's recipes, they can't be too embarrassed.

　　Hearing this, Uncle Zhong smiled and said, "There's nothing I can't say, but even if I tell you, you won't be able to learn it."

　　"The most delicious and nutritious place for large yellow croaker is the fish belly. So the most critical step in making this dish is to debone the whole fish without breaking the fish belly. Once the fish belly is damaged, the umami and essence will be lost. , then this dish will fail."

　　Deboned the whole fish, still can't break the fish belly?

　　I go!

　　Is this something a human can do?

　　No wonder Uncle Zhong told him so generously, because even if he told others, others couldn't do it.

　　The real secret of this dish lies in the way of deboning the whole fish.

　　No wonder Gao Jianxiang's soup-filled yellow croaker seemed to be missing something at first. It turned out that the fish's belly was broken, causing the essence to be lost.

　　At this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and a middle-aged man walked in quickly with a large bucket and a wooden box.

　　What was in the vat was a fresh large yellow croaker.

　　The fish tail is constantly swaying, stirring bursts of water, and it looks full of vitality.

　　"Uncle Zhong, I'll go first if it's nothing!"

　　After the middle-aged man put down the wooden box, he said hello and turned to leave.

　　Liao Jie walked forward slowly, stroking the wooden box, his eyes were full of reminiscence and emotion.

　　"Snapped!"

　　A crisp sound.

　　The wooden box was opened to reveal many knives and tools.

　　Putting on the apron, Liao Jie seemed to be a different person at the moment, with strong confidence in his eyes.

　　Whoa!

　　The whole large yellow croaker was lifted by Liao Jie with one hand and placed on the chopping board. He quickly picked up a pair of chopsticks and stuffed it into the fish's mouth with lightning precision.

　　Before Lin Xian could see clearly what happened, all the gills of the big yellow croaker had been taken out.

　　Then, Liao Jie picked up a tool from the wooden box and stuffed it into the belly of the fish.

　　After a while, the internal organs of the large yellow croaker were taken out from the fish's mouth.

　　The whole set of movements is smooth and smooth, without the slightest procrastination. Although it is not as exaggerated as the legendary Paoding Jie Niu, it makes people feel very comfortable, like watching a performance, and every movement is full of beauty.

　　"Amazing!"

　　Nie Qingqing's eyes widened, staring at the kitchen without blinking.

　　In her impression, the chef is just flipping the spoon and stir-frying.

　　But now, Liao Jie's performance has completely subverted her impression of the chef.

　　Liao Yingqi did the same, looking at her parents with excitement and pride in her eyes.

　　After half an hour.

　　Liao Jie slowly walked over with a huge dinner plate.

　　Putting the dinner plate on the table, he smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Lin, the yellow croaker you have been waiting for for days, please taste it!"

　　To be honest, the appearance of large yellow croaker is really not very good, especially after it is made into a dish.

　　Looks like an irradiated contaminated fish.

　　Since the whole fish is not damaged in any way, all the aromas are locked and not leaked at all.

　　Everyone looked at Lin Xian, waiting for him to taste it first.

　　Seeing this, Lin Xian smiled, picked up his chopsticks and pierced the fish's belly.

　　As the crystal soup poured out, an alluring fragrance filled the noses of everyone.

　　"smell good!"

　　Nie Qingqing sniffed, his face full of intoxication.

　　Even Tang Ping, who has always been unsmiling, showed a look of enjoyment.

　　"Although the meat of the yellow croaker in the soup is delicious, the real essence is concentrated in the crystal soup." Zhong Bo reminded.

　　Lin Xian picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful of the soup, took a sip after blowing it slightly to cool.

　　When the soup entered his mouth, he only felt that his taste buds were about to explode.

　　fresh!

　　Incomparably delicious, the key is this umami, and there is no fishy smell unique to seafood.

　　After tasting it carefully, there is still a faint aroma of wine reverberating in the mouth.

　　In addition, there are bamboo shoots, peas and other ingredients in the soup, which make the taste extremely rich and full of layers.

　　Real food can make you happy.

　　At this moment, Lin Xian immediately realized the meaning of this sentence.

　　Slowly putting down the spoon, Lin Xian stretched out his thumb and praised: "As expected of the top dish in the Manchurian banquet, I saw it today! You all try it!"

　　Liao Yingqi and others couldn't bear it for a long time, and they immediately started to take action when they heard his words.

　　Lin Xian scooped a spoonful, put it to Nie Qingqing's mouth after blowing it cold, and said affectionately, "Try it!"

　　Nie Qingqing's face was a little shy, and his eyes were full of happiness.

　　After taking a bite, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she took the initiative to pick up the spoon and taste it.

　　But Zhong Bo curled his lips and said, "Hey, it's not a wild big yellow croaker after all, it's still a little bit less interesting."

Chapter 176

　　"And this bastard's cooking skills have regressed a lot, otherwise the taste of this yellow croaker in soup can be improved to a new level!"

　　After listening to Zhong Bo's words, Lin Xian had a look like you're making fun of me.

　　Can you go up a notch?

　　Not to brag, but this yellow croaker in soup is the most delicious dish that Lin Xian has tasted over the years.

　　Once again, he couldn't believe it...

　　Seeing his expression, Zhong Bo explained, "Don't believe it! Why do so many people pursue top-quality ingredients? Besides being rare, the most important thing is that top-quality ingredients can elevate a dish."

　　It does make sense.

　　While they were tasting the food, Lin Xian glanced at the tasks on the system interface.

　　……

　　really!

　　Lin Xian's previous guess was correct, and the follow-up mission was indeed to hold a Manchu-Han banquet.

　　The key point is that this system is quite considerate, even giving him 2000 million activity funds.

　　Of course, this is not a full-fledged Manchu-Han feast in the true sense.

　　Because Zhong Bo said that the other two factions have already cut off their inheritance and lost it.

　　Otherwise, it is really necessary to hold a full-fledged Manchu-Han banquet, let alone [-] million, even [-] million will not be enough.
