People immediately gathered around Huo's stall, both inside and outside, to join in the fun.
It's so fresh. The fish can be sold in pieces. Seeing that Huo Erhuai's skill with the knife was so good, the fish slices were extremely thin. The curious person picked up a piece and held it up to the sun, and it was still light-transmitting. He was amazed.
The person who bought a large piece of fish happily paid and took the fish home.
Seeing that no one wanted the fish head and fish tail, Huo Xi sold the fish head and fish tail to the crowd: "This fish head and fish tail are the real good things. They say you eat what you eat to nourish your body. Eating fish heads and fish tails can strengthen your brain and strengthen your body."
It tastes especially good..."
"What's a good idea?" Before Huo Xi could finish speaking, some of the onlookers joked.
Huo Xi was not timid at all: "Why don't you go home and give it a try? You won't be happy to add a few more boys and girls to the family." She has nothing to be shy about.
Can dough be more fragrant than a copper plate?
The onlookers burst out laughing when they heard this. They all thought this kid was interesting.
Huo Erhuai originally wanted to stop her, but seeing her openness, he didn't say anything and just smiled.
Then I heard Huo Xi say: "This fish head, you take it home and put it in a clay pot. Stir-fry it with ginger and garlic, then simmer it over a slow fire. Add rice wine and simmer until it becomes mushy. Then it will be fragrant. Or add tofu."
Make the soup, the milk is as white as milk, and everyone, old, children, and women, will praise it after eating it."
"As for the fish tail, cut it in half from the middle, take out the fish bones, cut the meat into strips, make it continuous, and spread it out on the plate. Does it look like a peacock spreading its tail? Or roll the fish meat into a circle and arrange it
It looks like a flower, isn’t it beautiful and delicious?”
My God, these meatless fish heads and fish tails have almost become a dish that ordinary people can't afford after what this little kid said.
They all crowded forward, fearing that it would be late: "Bring me a fish head!"
"I want one too!"
"Give me a fish tail!"
"Leave me a fishtail too!"
A crowd of people gathered around the Huo family's fish stall for fear of being robbed.
Those who were still waiting and hesitating hated themselves for swaying from side to side just now, and tried to squeeze in again, but couldn't.
Wen Caihua from the Huibin Building looked dumbfounded from the outside.
The fish sold at such a high price is absolutely amazing. Didn’t you look at the fish stall next to it, and no business was done? Are you all stunned?
He shook his head and laughed. He glanced at the waiter who was following him: "Do you remember the dishes that little boy mentioned just now?"
The boy scratched his head. The boy spoke too quickly, and he was just watching the fun.
Wen Chou was not in a hurry and waited outside.
After a while, the fish heads and tails were sold out.
Those who bought it happily took the fish heads and tails home. Those who couldn't buy them complained: "Why are they gone? Why don't you prepare more?"
It would have been fine if Huo Xi hadn't said that just now, but after hearing what she said and not being able to eat anymore, it was heart-wrenching.
People are like this, they don’t cherish what they get easily, but they miss what they can’t get even more.
The fish stall next to him came back to his senses, and shouted, "We also have big fish! We also cut them into sections, and we also sell fish heads and tails!" Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around again.
The Huo family has single-handedly boosted all the fish stall businesses in Fish Market Street.
"Will you come again tomorrow?"
Some people just want to buy from the Huo family and don't want to move.
I couldn't buy the heads and tails of big fish, so I looked at the small fish left in the fishing basket, thinking about the taste of the fish heads and tails that Huo Xi just mentioned, and I didn't want these small ones.
Huo Xi was very happy as she watched the coins come in. She raised a smile and apologized to everyone: "If the net catches fish, we will still be here. But in the rivers, for some reason, the nets are often empty."
"Okay, I hope you'll still be here tomorrow."
"Haole, I'd like to lend you some kind words."
When the onlookers dispersed, there were still six or seven fish weighing about a pound in the fish box.
Wen Caiban then walked slowly over with the boy and looked into the fishing box: "Are they all alive?"
Seeing that another guest had arrived, Huo Xi was overjoyed and squatted down. Just as she was about to catch it, Yang Fu took a step ahead of her and took a fish from the fishing box and held it in his hand: "Guest, look, it's still alive. It's fresh."
Very good!"
Xi'er had just worked so hard, and he also wanted to contribute to the family.
Wen Caibao nodded and looked at the family calmly.
The man was honest and honest. He cut the fish cleanly, removed the scales and internal organs, and had quick hands and feet. He was even better at filleting the fish, and he also weighed the fish very well. He was an innocent man.
And these two boys, although their clothes are patched, there is no sorrow on their faces, they are lively and cheerful, without losing their enthusiasm for life.
I nodded in my heart.
"Then I want them all."
"You want them all? Okay, we'll take care of them for you right now!" Huo Xi said happily. Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu were about to go get them.
Wen Buying hurriedly stopped him: "No, we will take it back and process it ourselves, so that it will be fresh when it is used."
"Are you from a restaurant?" Huo Xi glanced at him.
Wen Chou was surprised at Huo Xi's agility and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am the purchaser of the Huibin Building in the inner city."
Huibin Building? In the inner city? Why did you come to the outer city to buy fish?
Seeing her frowning and thinking, Wen Caihua smiled at her and said, "Fish and shrimp are cheap in the outer city." He didn't want to say that he came to the market to find some rare goods.
Huo Xi smiled at him and nodded to express understanding.
"Little boy, look at how I rounded up the fish on your stall. Can you tell me more about the dishes you just mentioned?"
Clay pot fish head and tofu fish head soup are also not unusual. The fish tail recipe that the little boy just mentioned is very strange.
Can it also be arranged like a peacock opening its tail or a flower?
There are very few dishes made with fish tails in their Huibin restaurant. Firstly, the fishtails have many thorns, and secondly, there is not much meat. Their restaurant has never made fish tails into dishes specifically.
Huo Xi glanced at him. She had just told everyone how to make the dishes in order to sell the fish. It was not easy to ask Qiao at this time. So she generously told him how to make the two fish tail dishes.
.
Wen Caiban nodded while listening.
It is indeed wonderful. It should look good when presented on the plate. It makes my heart feel hot.
Go back and tell the chef in the building. Maybe you can draw inferences and come up with more fish tail dishes. Are you afraid that the guests won't come to eat fresh food?
Very happy, he took out a tael of silver from his pocket and handed it to Huo Xi as a reward.
Huo Xi accepted it generously and bowed to the other party to thank him.
Wen Caihua glanced at her again.
After looking at the father and son, he said: "If you catch a big fish of more than five kilograms in the future, you can send it to the Huibin Building in the inner city and say it was sent by Wen Chou. I will give you twenty-five cents per kilogram."
, thirty cents for ten kilograms or more. If you have any big shrimps and crabs, you can also bring them."
"Oh, thank you very much. If I find any, I will send it to you!"
Huo Erhuai was so happy that his voice trembled. Twenty-five cents per pound was more expensive than the twenty cents he had just sold. If he had given it away, he wouldn't have had to bother setting up a stall to sell it.
The whole family was very happy to get this channel. They quickly closed the stall.
"Go home?" Several fish stalls nearby looked at him with envy.
"Hey, I'm home." Huo Erhuai felt light and happy as he carried the empty burden.
"Will you come again tomorrow?"
"I'll come back if I find anything."
"Okay, then if my family comes early, I will occupy the stall for you." The stall owner next to Huo's family said. He looked at Huo Xi and Yang Fu again and thought about whether to bring his boy with him.
.
It's just that the younger one in the family is not as sharp-tongued as the other two children.
"Thank you very much."
Huo Erhuai thanked the other party and took his two children out of the fish market street. After buying some household items, the three of them walked briskly towards the ferry.
