Chapter 500 (1/2)

Just as the atmosphere became extremely awkward, while Chu Xiao was just sitting by and watching them, feeling that Yuan Zhou could really be an arrogant rival, and while Li Minghui, Liu Tong, and Zhou Shijie couldn’t help getting ready to beat Yuan Zhou, Wu Hai uttered something.

“Hey. The fish dumplings are going to cool down and the fish meat will start to stink then. Let me help you take some, alright?” Wu Hai was already keeping an eye out for his chance to eat the All-Fish Banquet.

No wonder he said so. These people not only ate, but also explained and praised by the side how delicious the fish meat tasted and how fresh and tasty the fish soup was. Wu Hai, who happened to sit beside them, of course suffered a lot.

Therefore, he couldn’t help asking them with a consciously courteous tone.

The words of Wu Hai suddenly broke the weird atmosphere among the several people, as if a stone was thrown into the calm lake surface.

“Please take your time and enjoy.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he turned around back to the kitchen and continued preparing dinner.

“Forget it. Eating the dumplings matters more.” Zhou Shijie picked a fish dumpling into his bowl quickly.

There were 12 Dace Meat Stuffed Green Dumplings in all, namely, three for each person on average. Although the number could be averaged, the taste couldn’t.

“Hey hey. I said I am able to help you. Can we discuss this matter?” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and appeared quite earnest.

“No need. You better continue eating your Egg Fried Rice.” Liu Tong disliked Yuan Zhou, but he didn’t say that he wouldn’t eat his delicious dish.

“No good deed goes unpunished. Human hearts are not like what they were in the old days.” Seeing no hope, Wu Hai immediately murmured indignantly.

As for Yuan Zhou, he had already made a clean break from Wu Hai. He absolutely didn’t know this person who cheated and swindled just for something to eat. He surprisingly called himself an artist. Shame on him.

Yuan Zhou started to take pity on his agent, Zheng Jiawei, as he routinely did. However, he might have forgotten that he was almost beaten to death for how he postured just now. They were a perfect match.

“Just by its appearance, the fish dumplings appear quite delectable.” Instead of arguing with him, Liu Tong picked up a golden yellow fish dumpling and appeared to be drooling.

That was naturally acted for Wu Hai on purpose.

“Humph.” Wu Hai snorted coldly before he lowered his head and started to eat his Egg Fried Rice.

“These are all handmade dumpling wrappers. Boss Yuan is really skillful with his hands.” Zhou Shijie said immediately when he took the first bite.

“I originally thought they are just the ordinary wonton wrappers.” Li Minghui also nodded and echoed.

“He’s indeed remarkable.” This time, Liu Tong nodded his head without hesitation and said affirmatively, too.

“Remove all the fish meat from the spine and then add them into the dumpling wrappers along with the fish soup for dough making. It’s truly an intricate thought.” Chu Xiao had already savored the difference between these fish dumplings from others once it entered his mouth.

That’s right. The fish dumplings made by Yuan Zhou this time were different from others. It wasn’t just some meat being wrapped up in wrappers.

First, the dough. Just in this stage, the procedures were quite complicated. The broth used to make the dough was stewed with the fish bones. When it was about to become cool, he had to pour it into the wheat flour little by little. After stirring them clockwise, it became a stiffer dough.

At that time, Yuan Zhou would start to knead the dough. He would knead them ceaselessly for at least 10 minutes. Only in that way could the wrappers become chewy and taste better. U.p..dated b.y Box novel. com

“Normally, it should have a fishy smell since there is fish meat and fish soup in the dough. Moreover, this kind of freshwater fish would contain an earthy smell.” Chu Xiao ate it carefully and then analyzed slowly.

Chu Xiao was right. When Yuan Zhou was stewing the soup, he naturally tried to remove the fishy smell, but it would produce some oil from the bones while stewing the soup. Under those conditions, the oil would cause the dough to contain a fishy taste and would also affect the dough from forming.
