Chapter 24 Whole Fish Feast

The scenery along the way is beautiful, fresh and natural.

On one side is the vast field, and on the other side is the blue waves.

Although the car was exhausted, the scenery around the lake made Wu Lin feel less tired.

But Ju Twenty-Er's stomach kept rumbling, and the lingering sound was lingering around the car, which was a bit unsightly.

The more you drive, the quieter the surroundings.

Finally, in a delta at the end of the road, the car stopped.

A low-key round arched courtyard gate appeared in front of you, a stone wall simply merged into nature, and the plants surrounded by white walls were large clusters of local wild reeds.

The driver got out of the car and helped open the door: "Mr. Wu, Dongpo You are here. You can have dinner first. When will you want to go back to the hotel, just call me."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Wu Lin held Ju Twenty-Two, took Chen Xiaoran and Huang Haochuan into the gate of the homestay.

"This is a homestay? It looks very tall." He looked surprised. "The homestays I have been to before are very simple. But this one seems to be full of literary atmosphere."

Bluestone roads, flowers and plants that seem to grow naturally but obviously pass by the hands of horticulturalists, appear vibrant in the sun.

An uncle with a gentle smile came over from the side and said he was the store manager. He asked them whether they would check in or eat?

Wu Lin suggested that he wanted to try the Qiandao Lake Big Fish Head, which had won the gold medal, so the handsome uncle took them inward... to the reception center of the homestay.

It turned out to be on the hill halfway up the hill! The view is very open and transparent, and you can see Qiandao Lake from afar.

The hotel room extends from here to the lakeside. The red roof is shrouded in the warm and furry sunshine, with a bit of exotic style under the Tuscan sunshine.

Wu Lin was a little surprised: "So big?"

The handsome uncle smiled and said, "Yes. In order to build this homestay, the boss spent more than 30 million yuan in cash. He also made a special trip to find a senior professor from the Institute of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University to discuss with well-known foreign designers, and worked on it for several years."

Wu Lin: "???"

A bunch of question marks floated across his heads and the two little brothers following him.

Damn! It cost more than 30 million yuan, and Tsinghua professors and foreign designers worked together for several years!

Then, you... call this a homestay?

Isn’t this a small boutique resort?

Wu Lin suddenly understood why when he was at the Boshi Hotel just now, the butler wanted to speak "B&B" but stopped, and his expression was very complicated.

The handsome uncle pointed to the reception hall again: "Look, the terrazzo floor is repeatedly polished to the most delicate and moisturized feeling. These old furniture were bought by the boss from all over the world. Some of them are antiques from other countries. Look, after time polishing, it still exudes a vivid sense of life, which looks very comfortable and beautiful. The comfort and security you get are all given by time."

He is quite literary and talks freely.

Wu Lin and others could only keep nodding, just put on their knees and shouted sixsixsixsix.

The uncle and store manager were quite satisfied with the reaction of the three of them, and sighed: "It is precisely because of this that the room is basically full, and you need to book more than one month in advance on the weekend. By the way, do you want to try the whole fish banquet?"

Whole fish banquet? What is that?

Facing Wu Lin's curious eyes, the uncle explained with a smile.

"As the name suggests, it means using a whole fish and different parts to make different dishes! Pure but not repetitive, delicious but not just greasy. Remove the fish intestines and scales, and every part of the fish's body, head, tail, bone, meat, raising, skin... can be used. Fish head, white soup, chopped pepper, baked sauce, braised braised..."

"Qiandao Lake Fish is quite famous. Because the water quality is clear, the wild fish in the lake are delicate and of high quality. Every morning in our homestay, there will be special fishermen who work together to go fishing in the lake."

"Originally, the three of them probably couldn't eat the whole fish feast. Because the wild big fish that were usually brought from Qiandao Lake is not small, twenty or thirty pounds. But today there are just a few more than seven pounds, plus this one..."

He looked at Chen Xiaoran: "There are tall people and big horses, and each person is worth two. So it's almost the same. Of course, the price of a whole fish banquet is a bit expensive..."

Wu Lin waved his hand and interrupted the store manager's uncle.

"It's all the fish feast! The price doesn't matter."

"Okay, let's go and choose the fish first."

He led Wu Lin to an open space near the lake at the B&B, where he dug a small pond on the ground, which was directly connected to Qiandao Lake. However, the gap hit a fishing net.

In this way, the fish caught in the morning can be placed in the pond, and are still as fresh as living in the lake!

Wu Lin saw big fish swimming happily in the clear pond.

The whole cat was in high spirits!

The cat's eyes shine.

He meowed, broke free from Wu Lin's arms and rushed into the pond!

Fortunately, he was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed the tail of the orange pig, otherwise he would have really entered.

Everyone laughed, very embarrassed.

Wu Lin chose a fish that he liked. The store manager directed the kitchen people to come and fished it up, and then asked Wu Lin and the others to go to the restaurant for a while.

The restaurant is built next to the lake.

The large transparent floor-to-ceiling windows show the sparkling lake surface. Because the foundation is almost flush with the lake surface, it feels like sitting on the lake surface.

Wu Lin looked at Qiandao Lake outside the window, and his thoughts seemed to have flew into the deep bottom of the water to witness the thousand-year-old ancient city that had sunk for half a century...

Chen Xiaoran and Huang Haochuan were whispering.

"Old Chen, I just checked it. We have a good taste! Do you know, the relevant departments here stipulate that wild fish in Qiandao Lake can be caught. But it must be grown in Qiandao Lake for 5 years and weigh more than 3 kilograms before it can be caught. There is no smell of mud, it is delicious, and the meat is fresh and tender. "

"Yes! The whole fish banquet is greedy if you think about it."

He patted his stomach and immediately made a gurgling sound.

The Twenty-Two Oranges on the chair next to him seemed to be responding to him, and his stomach was also rumbling.

So, these two humans and the fat man among the cats went back and forth, playing a symphony with his belly!

Soon, several young chefs came in majestic under the leadership of an old man with all white hair, probably the chef.

They all held large wooden boards in their hands, with dishes on them.

The chef looks very old, but he is very tough and his voice is full of energy.

"Everyone, my surname is Gao, and I am the chef of Dongpo You. Welcome to taste the whole fish banquet I made. As a local, I have witnessed the birth of Qiandao Lake and lived by the lake for a lifetime. I know the best about how to make fish."

Um?

He had just said a few words, and Wu Lin keenly captured some important news from his words.

"This old chef has been living nearby and has witnessed the birth of Qiandao Lake, maybe..."

A thought flashed through his mind.

But at this time, he was about to have a meal, but it was not easy to interrupt the chef's introduction. So Wu Lin did not intertwined him, but just smiled and nodded and listened.

The old man waved his hand.

A chef immediately put a casserole larger than a washbasin on the table. A scent that was uncontrollable suddenly spread out.

"This is a white soup fish head. Take half of the fish head, without any auxiliary ingredients, just use the fish head and water, cook for an hour on high heat until the soup is thick and pure white like milk. There is no fancy trick, it is that the ingredients are good enough and the ultimate flavor of eating fish."

What about the other half of the fish head?

"The other half of the fish head is made into a heavy taste. Choose Chun'an's local chili sauce to marinate, simmer it in a casserole and simmer it slowly over low heat, and add a little local Qiandao Lake beer to remove the fishy smell. The taste is strong in the mouth and it has a little bit of wine aroma. The rice is the most beautiful."

With the introduction of the old man, another large casserole was put on.

One white and one red, the orange twenty-two are going crazy!

Chen Xiaoran and Huang Haochuan were also slapped with saliva...

"The fish fins are steamed on high heat, and I added chopped pepper, snow vegetables, ham and bacon to improve the freshness. The texture level changes the most delicate!"

"The fish bones that shave off the fish meat can also be cooked, and the deliciousness makes people feel aftertaste. The fish bones are marinated first to remove the fishy fish, then wrapped in the unique mountain corn flour and fry them. You only need a little salt to season, and this dish of salt and pepper fish and keel bone is done."

"Scallion oil paddling - that is, the tail of the fish. Because it is the place where the fish moves most diligently, the meat is also fresh and smooth. With the aroma of scallion oil, it can only cost a few large bowls of white rice."

"This dish of garlic stewed fish belly is made of the part where the fish is close to the belly. Compared with the fish head, the fish belly is the weakest and weak and has no attack power. It is boneless and easy to eat. Stew it with a lot of whole garlic until the meat is soft and the garlic is fragrant. The fish belly is in the mouth with the garlic, which is amazing."

...

The old man completely ignored the three people and one cat that had already flown down three thousand feet of saliva. Based on the chef's belief, he insisted on introducing a total of 10 dishes for the fish banquet.

He smiled and said, "Okay, please wait..."

eat!!!

Before he could finish his words, Wu Lin's chopsticks had already cut through the sky like a sharp sword. He scared the old man.

Added a piece of garlic and stuffy fish belly and he breathed a sigh of relief: "Delicious, really delicious!"

I quickly used a clean large plate and mixed all kinds of dishes for Ju Twenty-Two to make a large plate, otherwise this fat guy would probably rebel.

Three people and one cat were busy making a frenzy, and the wind blew the clouds.

After eating, it was already setting sun and the sunset was full of sunset.

Chef Gao brought his apprentice to clean up, while Wu Lin stood up and asked politely: "Chef Gao, I want to ask you some more personal questions. I don't know if it's inconvenient."

Um?

The old man smiled slightly: "How personal is it? Is it about that? The young man, although I am very old, I am very physically strong." As he said that, he proudly raised three fingers, "Three times a week. How about it? I heard that the young people in your city are under great pressure and may not be stronger than me."

Wu Lin: “…!!!”
