chapter-1220
On hearing Yuan Zhou's answer, both of them revealed an expression of expectation.
"This Xi Shi milk is good stuff. I've eaten it at other places and it's considered top-notch, but it's just a little lacking." Lee Yanyi smacked his lips and said.
"That's right. Even the Xishi milk in Japan is not as good as what the great literary master Su Shi said. It's worth risking your life to try." Zhou Shijie nodded his head in agreement.
"Today, uncle Zhou and uncle li will know whether it's worth risking their lives to try. Of course, nothing will happen to the two of you." Yuan Zhou said confidently.
"Then I'll have to look forward to it." Zhou Shijie said happily."Hmph, if you mess up my cooking skills, I'll ... I'll eat ten of your meals without paying." Lee Yanyi had intended to threaten him, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything and could only say that.
"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou answered solemnly.
"I've eaten Mr. Yang's pufferfish before. " Lee Yanyi said seriously.
"Then, am I the pufferfish king of China? I'll work hard. " Yuan Zhou was still full of confidence.
Zhou Shijie was quite satisfied with Yuan Zhou's reaction while Lee Yanyi's eyes were also filled with a smile and trust.
Then, the three of them stopped talking. Yuan Zhou turned on the tap and started to wash his hands. There was another purpose of washing his hands, which was to let the water vapor on his body dissipate.
"Ta ta ta." While the three of them were silent, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. In the blink of an eye, there were more people in the shop.This man was wearing a black round-neck shirt, black short pants, a pair of slippers, and two distinct mustaches above his mouth. Who else could he be but Wu Hai?
"Sure, I knew you guys would eat good food behind my back. Thank God I came quickly." Wu Hai didn't say anything and directly sat beside Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi without any politeness.
"Are you born in the Year of the Dog?" Lee Yanyi looked at Wu Hai and said angrily.
"Wrong, my zodiac sign is a snake, not a dog." Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said complacently.
"Little Yuan is treating me to pufferfish, and you want to eat it too?" Zhou Shijie said.
"Of course. Even if you want to eat the liver of pufferfish, as long as it's cooked by boss Yuan, you have to come." Wu Hai knew who was the boss and thus directly expressed his loyalty.
"You're shameless," Lee Yanyi had long known about Wu Hai's thick skin and thus said directly.
"Thank you for the compliment. Also, I heard Chairman Zhou say that he's treating him to a meal. You're also here to freeload, right?" Wu Hai was quite sharp and asked sharply.
"That's different. " Lee Yanyi said matter-of-factly.
"It's indeed different. The relationship between boss Yuan and me is different from yours. " Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches complacently.
"I knew you were coming, so I prepared this." Yuan Zhou sighed helplessly.
That's right. Yuan Zhou was telling the truth. Wu Hai's nose had become more and more sensitive, probably because he had a cat now. He could even smell the scent of any dried fruits and snacks that Yuan Zhou was eating.
This ability to find food was already on par with er ha's ability to tear apart homes.
"That's right. When I saw them coming in at this time, I immediately went downstairs without saying anything." Wu Hai turned his head and pointed at the stairs, saying with satisfaction.
"Alright, we're having pufferfish today. This dish won't be served for the time being. It's just a taste test." Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it. Then, he said while wiping his hands.
"Little Yuan, you're just worried about the procedures for the pufferfish. With your culinary skills, there's no problem at all." Zhou Shijie said.
"The procedures are so simple, I don't think so." Lee Yanyi shook his head.
"Then can I come here often to taste it? Free lab rats, the kind that isn't small and doesn't cost money. " Wu Hai pointed at himself and said primly.
"No, it's just that a new dish will be released soon, and I'm afraid I'll be too busy." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"You're releasing a new dish? Then I can also help to taste it. " Wu Hai continued to do work for himself.
"A new dish? Little Yuan, don't tire yourself out. You have to learn both carpentry and ceramic art. You're still young, so your health is more important. " Zhou Shijie was more worried than happy.
"It's good for young people to have drive, but you have to act within your means. " Lee Yanyi's words were not pleasant to hear, but his tone was full of concern.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. " Yuan Zhou said.
"Boss Yuan, I can help you share your burden. I'll take care of the food tasting." Wu Hai patted his chest and said with a sense of loyalty.
"I guess you won't be willing to eat it then." Yuan Zhou looked at Wu Hai with an amused expression and thought in the heart.
On the surface, Yuan Zhou didn't pay attention to Wu Hai. He put down the handkerchief, put on the face mask and prepared to start.
"Ahem, I'll start cooking pufferfish then." Yuan Zhou's voice could be heard clearly from the face mask.
Although the system had provided pufferfish, it didn't come out of the water tank this time. Instead, it was in a crystal cabinet above the small refrigerator in the back. There were two Red-Fin pufferfish in it.
As soon as Yuan Zhou stepped aside, the two pufferfish swimming happily in the crystal tank were revealed.
"The back of this pufferfish is black, the abdomen is white, and the edge of the abdomen is bright yellow. There was a large black spot on the side of his body above the back of his pectoral fin, and several small black spots from the back to the tail. The dorsal and caudal fins are black, the pectoral fins are grayish-brown, the gluteus maximus are reddish-yellow, and the base is slightly red. It seems to be the Red-Fin Chinese pufferfish. " Looking at the two fish, Zhou Shijie said directly.
"When this pufferfish moves, its fins are bright orange and eye-catching. Its back is also very smooth. It seems to be wild." Lee Yanyi also said with a serious look.
"The wild pufferfish in this season are male and female, so their toxicity is not weak." Although Zhou Shijie said that, he didn't look worried at all with a smile on his face.
"But the pufferfish at this time is also extremely delicious." Lee Yanyi chimed in.
Yuan Zhou took great pains to select this breed. In 1990, China had issued the "aquatic products hygiene management measures", which prohibited pufferfish from entering the market.
It wasn't until 2016 that the conditions were met to release the production and business of cultivated pufferfish. However, the sale of wild pufferfish, the sale of live cultivated pufferfish, and the sale of unprocessed whole pufferfish were still prohibited, and only two species of pufferfish were released.
One of them was the Red-Fin pufferfish that Yuan Zhou was going to cook today, and the other was the darkgold pufferfish.
On the other hand, the Red-Fin Eastern pufferfish's meat and taste were more delicious. It was also commonly known as the Tiger pufferfish on the market.
"As long as it's good, I'm not picky." Wu Hai concluded.
"Since you all trust me so much, I won't let you down." Yuan Zhou's voice came through the face mask.
"I didn't eat dinner and just waited for you." Lee Yanyi immediately waved his hand and urged.
"Although I had the porridge, I'm still hungry now." Zhou Shijie said.
"I'm also hungry. " Wu Hai said with an earnest look.
Upon hearing Wu Hai's words, Yuan Zhou just wanted to hold his forehead. Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi didn't eat anything and only drank the congee, while Wu Hai clearly had a bowl of egg fried rice, twice-cooked pork, spicy chicken and a bowl of plain white rice with boiled beef and 100 styles of rice for dinner.
It had only been one and a half hours or two hours since he had finished his dinner, yet he could already start to complain that he was hungry. Yuan Zhou indicated that he really couldn't bear to watch.
However, when he couldn't see it anymore, Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and abandoned all distracting thoughts. He directly and quickly reached out his hand and caught a pufferfish.
Yuan Zhou's hands were fast, ruthless and accurate. The moment the pufferfish was caught, it even wagged its tail slightly, as if it didn't understand how it ended up in Yuan Zhou's hands.
