The next day, they came to the fish pond again with Xiaoxue.
"..." Ah Da and Ah Er were lying comfortably on their sides beside the fish pond, their bellies bulging and their bodies wet.
What did they eat? No need to ask? Do they even know how to eat loaches in the water?
He walked straight forward and kicked the dog, "I'm letting you look at the fish pond, but you're guarding it and stealing it?"
"Woof woof." Ah Da and Ah Er took two steps back with guilty conscience.
"The reward for looking at the fish pond is gone!"
Judging from the situation, they have eaten at least forty or fifty loaches.
I picked up the big net and fished back and forth into the fish pond. I caught ten or twenty loaches. Each loach was big and fat. It was obviously the work of Qingyuan Essence.
When Xiaoxue and the others saw these, they immediately became excited and clamored to eat.
"Ouch." Xiaoxue said she was disgusted while eating. It didn't taste as good as fried food.
Not to mention Fatty'er and Heibao, if you throw them in front of them, they won't be able to find a place to bite, and the lively loaches will throw them back.
Finally, he looked at Zhou Huayang bitterly.
"Hey, are these the loaches we bought yesterday?"
When Zhou Huayang brought two large buckets of loaches back, his parents were surprised. If there were only one or two larger loaches, they wouldn't be surprised. But every loach is very fat, and some weigh more than a hundred grams.
It weighs three to four hundred grams. How can a loach in the river grow so big? It only weighs a dozen grams at most.
"Yes." Zhou Huayang said perfunctorily, "It tastes better if it is fatter."
I quickly poured more than forty of them into the basin and asked my mother to take care of them.
Fat Dun'er, Xiaoxue and the others gathered around Zhao Hexiu, their mouths were very greedy, and they watched eagerly as Zhao Hexiu slaughtered the loach.
"Ouch." Fierce woman, you should hurry up.
Xiaoxue urged me from time to time.
Chubby Dun'er nuzzles Zhao Hexiu from time to time, "Master, mom, can you give me two more later?"
Zhou Huayang carried a large bucket, together with the fruits and vegetables that were to be transported to Blue Lake Pavilion today, and asked the driver, Uncle Sun, to transport them away. At the same time, he called Ning Jiao.
"loach?"
"Okay, no problem. If the taste is good, I will definitely accept it. As for the price... I have to check the product first."
"By the way, aren't you delivering the goods today?"
In the restaurant, Ning Jiao pulled up a chair and sat sideways, looking a little sad.
The employees passing by took a look and walked away in a tacit understanding. They knew who their boss was talking to without asking them.
After a while, Ning Jiao hung up the phone dissatisfied and muttered, "This bastard is busy catching loaches in the countryside and doesn't come to my place? I'm so angry."
She strode into the kitchen.
Blue Lake Xuan chef Liu Sandao is supervising the chef's work.
Ning Jiao directly told him about the loach, "Brother Zhou has a large supply of loach. I heard it tastes good. Chef Liu, look..."
"Loach!" Liu Sandao was stunned, then frowned and stared at Ning Jiao, "I don't agree."
"Boss, the people in the city look down upon this loach. Since our store is on a high-end route, the dishes must be exquisite. Have you seen any Michelin-starred restaurants that feature this kind of country snack? There is a hanging hanging at the door.
Do you think the loach noodles and fried loach are suitable? Don’t you think the price has dropped?"
"The fruits and vegetables supplied by Brother Zhou are top-notch in terms of quality and taste. Nowadays, most customers come for these, but loach seems to be dispensable. They are also aquatic products, such as tuna, salmon, cod, etc.
Which one is not better than it? Which one is not as delicious as loach?"
Liu Sandao spoke eloquently.
This makes Ning Jiao very embarrassed. She is the boss, but the chef is the core of the restaurant. The chef knows the tastes and habits of the guests much better than she does.
"But, I have already promised Brother Zhou..."
"Oh boss, just spend thousands of yuan to deal with him. Then you can just say that it is not in line with the public taste and the response is not good. How can Brother Zhou force you to buy all the loaches?" Liu Sandao waved his hand, no.
Talk to Ning Jiao again.
"..." Ning Jiao sighed. The chef didn't agree, so there was nothing she could do.
Near noon, the truck arrived at the door, and the vegetables and fruits were moved into the fresh-keeping warehouse. As for the bucket of loach, it was carried to the restaurant. It couldn't be wasted. Ning Jiao was going to reward the employees with these, but Loach still listened.
It's delicious. If the guests don't like it, the employees must like it.
"Hey, Boss Ning, is this a loach? It's so big."
While the employee was carrying the bucket, a fat man with a rosy face passed by and caught a glimpse of him.
"Yes." Ning Jiao nodded, her eyes also flashed with a hint of surprise, where did Brother Zhou catch so many plump loaches, they looked so delicious.
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten this thing for many years. You asked the chef to make three different dishes for me using loach." The fat man looked surprised, remembering that he especially liked to eat this thing before he became rich.
But later on, as we became more developed, in order to cater to the upper class circles, we rarely ate these common delicacies.
"this……"
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" The fat man looked dissatisfied.
"No, no, I will ask Chef Liu to cook for Mr. Cao himself." Ning Jiao hurried into the kitchen and explained the situation.
"..." Liu Sandao was speechless. Naturally, they couldn't refuse the guest's request.
"Okay, fried loach with salt and pepper, fried loach with pickled cabbage and a bowl of loach noodles." As an experienced chef, cooking with loach didn't pose any difficulty to Liu Sandao.
"Hey, these loaches look really good. Brother Zhou's village is really full of outstanding people. The vegetables and fruits are good, and the loaches are also very plump." Liu Sandao couldn't help but praise a few times.
Soon, employees began to make preparations.
When the processed loach is put into the pot, the aroma of fried loach gradually spreads out. Even the hall can faintly smell this aroma, and the guests swallow their saliva subconsciously.
In the kitchen, Liu Sandao was naturally the first to taste these loaches. After taking a bite, he opened his eyes wide and said, "The texture of the meat is so chewy..."
Liu Sandao, who thought he had eaten all kinds of delicious food and cooked all kinds of delicious food, couldn't help but be shocked.
Involuntarily, I finished a plate of pickled cabbage and loach.
"..." Ning Jiao on the side also tried a few bites, "Chef Liu, I didn't expect your loach dish to be so good."
Liu Sandao smiled and felt a little guilty. Because he disliked the ingredients, he didn't bother to cook them at all. The taste was 70% to 80% due to the quality of the ingredients.
When the three dishes were brought out of the kitchen, the fat man who ordered them started gobbling them up almost losing his temper.
And the guests also asked one after another about the source of the aroma of the dishes.
When they learned the specific names of the dishes, they all couldn't wait to say, "I'll serve one portion of all three dishes."
"hurry up!"
Ning Jiao returned to the kitchen with a complicated expression and reported the situation to Liu Sandao. She had agreed that the guests would dislike this kind of country snack. But in the end, they all acted as crazy as starving ghosts.
Liu Sandao looked embarrassed, "Brother Zhou, these loaches are indeed delicious and unique. I think... we can add a few more related dishes."
