Chapter 970 - Milt (1/2)
Old Wang and the others started pouring the stock into the gigantic shell to cook the fish head. The unique stock and the aroma of the fish head was a perfect match. With the fragrant triggering their senses, no one could resist it and everyone moved a pair of watch towers to the sides of the shell. The height was perfect. They then set up the table for the steamboat and surrounded the shell with ingredients prepared by the chefs. All they were waiting for was the signal from the chef to start.
Zhao Xiangyu pondered. Looks like my decision to stay at my master’s house was the right one! With a bowl and a pair of chopsticks in her hands, she was prepared. I’ll never ever end this apprenticeship.
Old Li saw everyone’s excited look after finishing preparing the milt. “All of you are sure lucky. This fish’s milt is extremely beautiful…”
Old Li sliced perfectly the fish milt that was as big as a lion’s head and distributed a piece to everyone who was present. Lin Liang exclaimed after tasting a slice, “The taste is beyond words. This is what we call ‘Xi Shi’s Breast’. Bittersweet and fresh. Indeed, you’ll never know the true taste of a fish if you’ve never tasted the milt. Once you taste it, all other fishes will seem tasteless…”
“Call father-in-law and the old man over. It may be possible to finish these with them.” Knowing that the fish head needed to be cooked for at least another hour, Ye Cang asked ThornyRose to invite them.
“Possible?! Since when have we managed to finish something?!” Wu Na smiled bitterly.
ThornyRose was reluctant, “I’m not their biological child anyway…”
Yet, she still called them. “Mom, ask daddy and grandpa to come over to Lin Hai for food. Master Old Wang and the rest are having steamboat.”
As soon as he got the notice, Father Qin called Qin Zhong and boarded the fastest floating train.
ThornyRose then dragged AV to a side, “Hand over the money… Don’t act dumb…”
“I’ve already given boss 30%…” AV spoke weakly.
ThornyRose pondered. Not bad. “I can give you the rights of the club’s characters, such as my…”
“Actually… Big Sis Rose, your…sales…is not even on par with boss’ Magical Girl side income from his merchandise…” AV quickly ran away as ThornyRose got furious.
ThornyRose returned to her seat frustratedly and took a bite of the milt. All her anger had instantly disappeared while a lovely expression was shown on her face. This is a hundred times tastier than the milt of the Dark Nine River’s Dolphin…
Huang Zhong ate all in a gulp, “Delicious!”
Liu, Sun and Cao sighed deeply as they looked at him.
Jia Xu took a sip of wine and a bite of fish milt while leaning against the seat. “Even God can’t save us… Such an enjoyable life… Not even God can save me from this…”
“Oh Wenhe, help me negotiate with the police force, would ya? About my fines…” Liu Bei put an arm around Jia Xu’s shoulder.
“Upholding justice is the mission of our Lin Hai Police Force…” Jia Xi said seriously.
“Don’t make me beat you up.”
“Alright then.” Jia Xu was helpless as he knew he could never win that shameless fella in a fight.
“Now, that’s more like it,” Liu Bei toasted with him.
Old Marilyn tasted a spoon of the soup. “It lacks something… something to bring out the taste…”
It made Old Wang recall the mini mushroom men. Swiftly, he tossed some from the basket to let them swim inside. The freshness of the soup was immediately enhanced and Lin Liang’s saliva was drooping. Satisfactorily, Old Marilyn nodded and smiled, “That’s perfect. We don’t have to add anything else. When we boil the other ingredients, their taste will mix together and the soup will then be completely done. I’d suggest all of you to taste some of the soft parts of the fish head before boiling other ingredients. It’s kind of a waste to just use the fish head as a soup base.”
“Lil’White, I hope you can build a small house in your mushroom forest. I have loved mushrooms since I was a child. I even hope that I could die in the sea of mushrooms. With me staying there, I can help you to take care of the forest too,” Old Marilyn smiled.
“Sure, no problem. I’ll ask them to build you a big one…” Ye Cang had not finished his sentence and Old Marilyn shook her head, “Just a small wooden house is enough. In return, I’ll give you my secret recipe. Using it for coating fried stuff or for baking bread is the best.”
Ye Cang excitedly received it and Lin Liang was eager to know what was included in the ingredients. What is it?! I can’t taste that ingredient. After a glance at the recipe, Ye Cang burned it and ThornyRose was shocked, “With that memory of yours, you sure you can remember it?”
