Chapter 535 (1/2)

“Boss Yuan, are there fish bones in the roast fish?” Chen Wei knitted his brows and asked carefully.

“Only big fish bones, but no small ones.” Yuan Zhou rotated the fish and said calmly.

“You mean the dorsal bones, right?” Chen Wei asked for confirmation again.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head.

“I also want one. Also this one, too.” Chen Wei pointed at the other kebabs by the side.

“Since you are laying out two plates here, they are definitely two different types. Am I right?” Chen Wei revealed an honest look on his face.

“Mr. Chen is so shrewd.” The plump Master Cheng walked toward them.

“Haw-haw, thank you. Boss Yuan is known to be a principled person.” Chen Wei complimented.

“Of course.” Master Cheng nodded the head.

That’s right. Master Cheng had always been there during recent BBQ time. In the beginning, his reason was to come and help, thus, Yuan Zhou naturally refused him flatly.

Later, he corrected that he wanted to come and study how to make BBQ. This reason was more sufficient this time. After all, Yuan Zhou had almost become an all-rounder in this circle. As his disciple, he naturally needed to dabble in some of the fields. Only in this way could Yuan Zhou not refuse the arrival of Master Cheng.

Nevertheless, Master Cheng was compliant and helpful. While he was studying, he didn’t forget to greet the customers.

Judging from how Master Cheng handed the food ingredients to Yuan Zhou deftly, this person had been doing the work very well.

“Master Yuan, here are your vegetables.” Master Cheng handed a stick to Yuan Zhou again.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded the head.

Then, one could feel that Yuan Zhou slowed down the action of pouring the flavorings as Master Cheng watched him just to ensure his movements could be seen clearly. When he turned around to greet other customers, however, Yuan Zhou naturally cooked the BBQ as per his usual speed.

Just like what he had done to the man who studied Green Jade Rice Crust last time.

After Yuan Zhou ripped open the fish that was to be roasted in the middle and cut it into two parts, he started to pick the fish bones. Just like before, all the fish bones were kept on a board and laid out in the shape of the living fish.

Due to the existence of the big fish bones, the difficulty in removing the small fish bones greatly increased. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou had kept sculpting every day and could deal with such delicate things. In Master Cheng’s opinion, however, it was way too profound.

“Boss Yuan, this is way too difficult. As far as I know, no other chefs can reach this level. This is way too hard.” Master Cheng looked at Yuan Zhou’s superb knife skills and muttered to himself.

“Boss Yuan is really a peerless genius. His knife skills are probably superior when compared to anyone else.” Master Cheng was really astonished when he saw the fish flesh in good condition and the conspicuous big and small fish bones on the board.

However, Yuan Zhou took no notice of Master Cheng’s astonishment. After he finished processing the fish, the fish on the fire had to be turned over and served too.

Oh, right. As Yuan Zhou had the four most ordinary freshwater fishes in his restaurant, what fish would be roasted was actually unknown. For example, what Ma Zhidao ordered just now was a spotted silver carp, also known as the fat head fish.

“Here’s your roast fish.” Master Cheng carried the fish onto the table and directly put it in front of Ma Zhida.

“Thank you, Master Cheng.” Ma Zhida said courteously.

The honest and tolerant Master Cheng only nodded the head and stared at Ma Zhida, preparing to see how the fish tasted.

The roast fish was placed in a fish-shaped plate almost as big as the fish. Besides, the fish was intact and looked as if it were still alive. However, the fish body was giving off the steam and the fish skin on the surface had also slightly shrunk and curled, revealing some snow-white fish meat.
