After hearing Yuan Zhou's answer, both of them showed expectant expressions.
"This Xishi milk is a good thing. I've had it in other places and it's considered top-notch, but it's just a little bit inferior." Li Yan smacked his mouth and said.
"What I'm saying is that even the Xishi milk from Japan is not worth risking your life as the great writer Su Shi said." Zhou Shijie nodded in agreement.
"Today Uncle Zhou and Uncle Li will know whether it's worth risking their lives. Of course, they will be fine." Yuan Zhou said confidently.
"Then I have to look forward to it." Zhou Shijie said happily.
"Hmph, if you mess up your skills, I'll... I'll eat you ten meals without paying for it." Li Yan wanted to threaten him, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of what to threaten and could only say this.
"Okay." Yuan Zhou responded seriously.
"I am someone who has eaten puffer fish made by Mr. Yang." Li Yanyi said seriously.
"What about me, the Chinese Puffer King? I will work hard." Yuan Zhou still looked confident.
Zhou Shijie was very satisfied with Yuan Zhou's behavior, and Li Yan's eyes were full of smiles and trust.
Then the three of them stopped talking. Yuanzhou turned on the faucet and started washing his hands. The other purpose of washing his hands was to give more time to allow the moisture on his body to dissipate.
"Tap tap tap" Just when the three of them were quiet, there was a rush of footsteps approaching from far away. Almost in the blink of an eye, there was someone more in the store.
This man was wearing a black crew-neck shirt, black shorts, a pair of slippers, and an obvious mustache. Who else could he be if he wasn't Wu Hai
"Okay, I knew you were going to eat delicious food behind my back. Fortunately, I got here quickly." Without saying anything, Wu Hai sat directly next to Zhou Shijie and Li Yan, looking unceremonious.
"You are born in the year of the dog." Li Yanyi looked at Wu Hai angrily and said.
"Wrong, my zodiac sign is snake, not dog." Wu Hai said proudly, stroking his mustache.
"Xiao Yuan invited me to eat puffer fish, do you want to eat it too?" Zhou Shijie asked.
"Of course, even if you eat the liver of puffer fish, as long as it is made by Boss Yuan, you must get it." Wu Hai knew who was in charge and expressed his sincerity directly.
"Shameless and skinless." Li Yan already knew Wu Hai's shamelessness and said directly.
"Thank you for the compliment, and I heard President Zhou say that he was invited to eat. Are you here to enjoy the food like me?" Wu Hai was still very keen and asked directly and sharply.
"That's different." Li Yanyi said matter-of-factly.
"It's indeed different. My relationship with Boss Yuan is different from yours." Wu Hai stroked his mustache proudly.
"I knew you were coming, so I was prepared." Yuan Zhou sighed helplessly.
Yes, Yuan Zhou is telling the truth. Wu Hai’s nose is becoming more and more sensitive now, maybe because he has a cat. He can smell and find any dried fruit snacks that Yuan Zhou eats. Come.
This ability to find food is already comparable to Erha's ability to tear apart homes.
"That's right, when I saw these two people entering the store at this time upstairs, I turned over and went downstairs without saying a word." Wu Hai turned his head and pointed to the stairs and said with satisfaction.
"Okay, let's eat puffer fish today. This dish won't be served for the time being. It's just a trial." Yuan Zhou nodded to show that he understood, and then said while wiping his hands.
"Xiao Yuan is worried about the puffer fish procedures. With your cooking skills, there is no problem at all." Zhou Shijie said.
"The procedure is so simple, it shouldn't be." Li Yan shook his head.
"Then can I come here often to taste it? Free white mice, no money for black mice." Wu Hai pointed at himself and said seriously.
"No, a new dish will be released soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"Are there new dishes? Then I can help you taste them." Wu Hai continued to take care of himself.
"New dishes? Xiao Yuan, don't be too tired. You have to learn carpentry and pottery. At a young age, health is more important." Zhou Shijie was more worried than happy.
"It's a good thing for young people to be motivated, but they must act within their capabilities." Li Yan's words were unpleasant, but his tone was very caring.
"Don't worry, I know what's appropriate." Yuan Zhou said.
"I can help you, Boss Yuan, to share your worries. I'll take care of the trial." Wu Hai patted his chest and said loyally.
"I guess you won't want to eat it by then." Yuan Zhou glanced at Wu Hai playfully and thought to himself.
Yuanzhou ignored Wu Hai, put down his handkerchief, put on his mask and got ready to start.
"Ahem, then I'll start cooking pufferfish." Yuan Zhou's voice came clearly from the mask.
Although the system provided pufferfish, this time the pufferfish did not come out of the tank. Instead, it was in a crystal cabinet above the small refrigerator at the back. There were two red-finned puffer fish in it.
As soon as Yuan Zhou stepped aside, he revealed the two pufferfish still swimming happily in the crystal tank.
"The dorsal side of this puffer fish is black, the ventral side is white, and the ventral ribs are bright yellow; there is a large white-rimmed eye-shaped black spot on the side of the body behind the pectoral fin, and there are several small black spots from behind to the tail. The dorsal fin and tail fin are black, and the pectoral fin is grayish brown. , the anal fin is red and yellow, and the base is redder, it seems to be a red-finned puffer fish." Zhou Shijie looked at the two fish and said directly.
"When this puffer fish swims, the orange-red color on its fins is bright and eye-catching, and its back seems to be very smooth. It seems to be wild." Li Yanyi also said with a serious face.
"The wild puffer fish at this time of year is still a male and a female, and they are not weakly poisonous." Although Zhou Shijie said this, he had a smile on his face and was not worried at all.
"But the puffer fish at this time also tastes extremely delicious." Li Yan added.
Yuan Zhou also carefully selected this species, because my country issued the "Measures for the Hygiene Management of Aquatic Products" in 1999, prohibiting pufferfish from entering the market.
It was not until 2016 that the production and operation of farmed puffer fish was liberalized with conditions, but the sale of wild puffer fish, live farmed puffer fish, and unprocessed whole farmed puffer fish were still prohibited, and only two varieties of puffer fish were opened.
One is the red-finned oriental puffer fish that Yuan Zhou is going to make today, and the other is the dark-striped oriental puffer fish.
The meat texture and taste of red-fin puffer fish are more delicious, and it is also commonly known as tiger puffer fish on the market.
"As long as it tastes good, I won't choose." Wu Hai concluded.
"Since you trust me so much, I will not let you down." Yuan Zhou's voice came through the mask.
"For your sake, I waited without eating dinner." Li Yan immediately waved his hand and urged.
"Although I drank porridge, I am still hungry now." Zhou Shijie said.
"I'm hungry too." Wu Hai said seriously.
Hearing Wu Hai's words, Yuanzhou just wanted to hold his head. Zhou Shijie and Li Yanyi didn't eat anything and only drank porridge. Wu Hai obviously had an egg fried rice, a twice-cooked pork, a spicy chicken, and a portion of boiled beef for dinner. Bring rice to make rice.
It had only been an hour and a half or two hours since he had finished dinner, and he could start to feel hungry. Yuan Zhou said that he really didn't notice.
But without looking any further, Yuan Zhou took a deep breath, put aside his distracting thoughts and quickly reached out to catch a pufferfish.
Yuan Zhou's hands were fast, ruthless, and accurate. The moment the pufferfish was caught in his hand, he wagged his tail slightly as if he didn't understand how he got into Yuan Zhou's hands.
