In fact, the cooking of anchovy is not complicated, it can be steamed - in fact, the top ingredients do not have so many complicated processes in cooking, and the cooking back to basics can highlight the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves.

The work of removing the gills and internal organs of the anchovy, Xia Ruofei handed it over to Wu Xiujuan to do, and after processing, Xia Ruofei put the anchovy into boiling water to remove the fishy smell.

Then Xia Ruofei spread the ham slices, mushroom slices, bamboo shoots and other accessories on the fish, and then added cooked lard, sugar, refined salt, dried shrimp, cooking wine, chicken essence soup and other seasonings.

After doing this, Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "It's okay, wait a while, just go to the steamer and steam for 20 minutes, and then you can serve it directly." Sister-in-law, just pay attention to the time, and then get on the steamer after the guests arrive. ”

"It's that simple?" Wu Xiujuan asked in surprise.

"Of course, the anchovy itself is an excellent delicacy that doesn't require so many complicated cooking skills!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Then I'll leave it to you here?"

"Okay, good!" Wu Xiujuan hurriedly said, "Boss, go get busy!"

Xia Ruofei nodded and walked out of the kitchen, and when he went out, he also heard Wu Xiujuan whispering the key words "steaming over the fire" and "20 minutes", he couldn't help but smile and glanced back at Wu Xiujuan, and then walked out of the kitchen.

Zhao Yongjun and the others came very early, Xia Ruofei came out of the kitchen and just sat down on the rattan chair under the eaves in the backyard to rest for a while, when he heard Song Rui's voice outside the door.

"Ruofei, open the door, open the door!"

Xia Ruofei got up with a smile, casually pressed on a control panel not far behind him, and the door in the backyard for vehicles to enter and exit slowly opened.

There are a lot of such control panels installed in the courtyard, and each panel has an LCD screen, so that the homeowner can easily check who the visitor is and control the opening and closing of the courtyard door no matter where he is.

The three cars rushed in, and Wu Qiang hurriedly went over and directed the car to park in the parking space on the side of the yard.

Zhao Yongjun, Song Rui, Hou Liang and others all got out of the car, and many of Xia Ruofei's brothers in the capital came.

And Xia Ruofei was quite surprised to see that Zhuo Yiyi actually came, and she came with Song Rui in a car.

Could it be that the two of them have finally made substantial progress? Xia Ruofei couldn't help but glance at Song Rui and Zhuo Yiyi deeply.

This is also a pair of living treasures, Zhuo Yiyi has some big nerves in the relationship between men and women, Song Rui is so obvious to her, and the people around her know it, but she just treats Song Rui as a male best friend;

"Boss Xia, I'll come over for a meal, are you okay?" Zhuo Yiyi asked with a big grin.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "How can you have an opinion? Zhuo Da beauty is willing to appreciate her face, I can't be happy! As long as you are willing, you can come every day......

When Xia Ruofei said this, he felt Song Rui's murderous gaze on the side, and immediately changed his words: "Come to eat with Song Rui every day, I have no opinion!"

"Can talk!" Zhuo Yiyi said happily.

Xia Ruofei greeted Zhao Yongjun, Hou Liang, Wei Jun and others one by one, and welcomed them into the restaurant in the backyard.

In the kitchen, Wu Xiujuan saw the guests coming, and immediately put the anchovy that Xia Ruofei had prepared into the steamer and began to steam it over the fire.

Some of the other dishes, some of which have been simmered and ready to be served, and some of which have already prepared the ingredients and can be fried immediately.

Xia Xiaolan also went over to help, and the kitchen was in full swing.

Wu Qiang followed everyone to the restaurant and helped Xia Ruofei greet guests.

After everyone sat down, Wu Qiang went over to drink.

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "I prepared a bottle of semillon today, this is exclusive to women, and men drink white, no problem, right?"

"Listen to you!" Song Rui said, "Anyway, we don't plan to leave today, we can drink openly!"

"No problem! Don't get drunk tonight!" Xu Zixuan also said with a smile.

"Refreshing!" Xia Ruofei gave a thumbs up, and then said to Wu Qiang, "Wu Qiang, men all use liquor, give each of them a small pot, everyone takes care of their own wine, fair and just!"

"Okay!"

Xia Ruofei looked at Zhuo Yiyi again and asked, "Yiyi, it's okay for you to drink white wine, right?" If you can't drink alcohol, I also have juice here. ”

"Drink some! You all drink, it's a shame for me to drink juice alone!" Zhuo Yiyi said.

"Courageous!" Xia Ruofei praised.

Soon everyone poured wine, and there were already a few plates of cold dishes on the table, Wu Qiang ran to the kitchen again, and soon one or two hot dishes came up.

Xia Ruofei raised his glass and said, "Come on, come on, come on, it's rare for our brothers to get together today, and there are Zhuo Da beauties to cheer on us, let's have a drink together!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

There was a burst of laughter in the backyard restaurant.

After eating for a while, Wu Qiang brought a large plate containing steamed anchovies.

When Xia Ruofei saw it, he immediately put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Come on, come on, let's try this dish, I made it myself!"

"I'll go, anchovy!" Song Rui still knows the goods.

He was the first to stretch out his chopsticks, grabbed a piece of meat near the fish belly, and took a large piece of fish skin and scales, and diligently put it into Zhuo Yiyi's bowl.

Song Rui said: "Yiyi, try it! This is a wild Yangtze River anchovy, which is very difficult to eat now...... By the way, don't lose the scales! This is the most delicious part of the anchovy, which is both nourishing and beautiful. ”

After steaming, the scales of the anchovy are all softened and turned into a gelatinous substance, and the flavor of the bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, and other accessories are also soaked into the inside, and the taste is quite delicious.

"Can you eat fish scales?" Zhuo Yiyi looked at Song Rui with some disbelief, "You won't be deliberately tricking me, will you?"

Song Rui couldn't help crying and laughing, and said: "If you can't eat this, can Ruofei keep it? You can taste it! Such a fish costs thousands of yuan! You can't usually eat ...... it."

"So expensive?" Zhuo Yiyi couldn't help but take a breath after hearing this.

Her monthly salary is only five or six thousand, even if she doesn't eat or drink, it's enough to buy such a fish?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Yiyi couldn't help but have the idea of "people are more popular than people".

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Yiyi, the scales of anchovies are edible, and Su Shi, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, once called anchovies 'cherishing scale fish'!"

Zhuo Yiyi nodded and said, "Well, I still believe Boss Xia's words......"

Song Rui almost hit his head on the table, why don't I believe it, Xia Ruofei said two fluttering sentences, at most, Su Shi was added to it, and you immediately believed it?

Xia Ruofei held back a smile and greeted, "You're welcome, everyone!

After Zhuo Yiyi took a bite, she immediately said, "It's so delicious!"

Seeing this, Song Rui hurriedly grabbed in front of Hou Liang again, sandwiched another piece of the fish maw of another anchovy, put it into Zhuo Yiyi's bowl, and said, "If you like it, eat more......"

Zhuo Yiyi said a little embarrassed: "Don't clip it to me, everyone hasn't eaten much!"

The size of the anchovy is generally not large, and the sum of the three is only more than one catty and less than two catties, so many people share and eat it together, if anyone eats more, then someone will definitely not be able to eat.

Song Rui said with a big grin: "It's okay, my share will be eaten for you!"

"Enough buddy!" Zhuo Yiyi said.

Xia Ruofei almost couldn't hold back his laughter, he worked hard with Song Rui for so long, but he still couldn't get rid of his identity as a good buddy!

After Zhao Yongjun, Xu Zixuan and others tasted it, they were naturally full of praise.

Zhao Yongjun said: "Ruofei, after our Taoyuan Club opens, Ling Ji's Buddha jumping over the wall and this steamed anchovy must be used as a signature dish!"

These two top-notch delicacies are still very attractive even to Zhao Yongjun and other high-class people with high vision.

Song Rui also said on the side: "There is also this kind of drunken eight immortals that we can't buy on the market that we drink today, it's best to get some too, and when the time comes, we will divide the members into several levels, and this kind of drunken eight immortals wine can only be enjoyed by members of the highest level!"

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Hey, I didn't expect Xiao Rui to improve a lot now......!

Song Rui said proudly: "Young Master Ben, this is a talent, okay? It's just that I didn't study seriously before!"

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: "Don't worry! Although the output of these drunken eight immortals is extremely low, it is still no problem to supply some of them to Taoyuan Society! As for the Buddha jumping over the wall, although the ingredients used are precious, they are all available on the market; this Yangtze River anchovy, more than 10% of the monthly output of our Taoyuan Company is supplied to Ling Ji Restaurant Group, and this signature dish will definitely be indispensable to the restaurant of Taoyuan Club at that time!"

"That's great!" Zhao Yongjun said happily, "With these two dishes alone and the drunken eight immortals that Xiao Rui said, I'm afraid I can attract a lot of members!"

"There are other projects we designed, and the grade in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area is absolutely first-class!" Xu Zixuan said with a smile, "Our club is still under construction, and many friends have recently asked me when to open membership applications......

"Haha!" Xia Ruofei raised his glass and said, "Then everyone has to have a drink, for the success of Taoyuan Club!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Xia Ruofei raised his head and drank a glass of liquor, then wiped his mouth with a small towel, and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't paid attention to our Taoyuan Club for a long time, how is the construction going?"

Song Rui said angrily: "You also know! Leave our brothers in the capital to work tiringly, you kid is all over the world! I heard Brother Zhao say that you still want to go to Italy?"

"Business!business!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

"Xiao Rui, although Ruofei didn't care about specific things, the smooth launch of the Taoyuan Club's project was absolutely inseparable from his efforts. Zhao Yongjun said, "We are familiar with the road in the capital, and we should do more!"

Song Rui said: "I understand the reason, but when I see this kid at ease all day long, I can't get angry......

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said: "Xiao Rui, you have only seen thieves eating meat and not seeing thieves being beaten! How can I be chic and comfortable! Aren't I busy every day? Hundreds of people in the company are pointing to me to eat!"

"Brother Xia, this is definitely naked-naked!" Hou Liang said with a smile.

Zhao Yongjun couldn't help laughing and said: "Ruofei, the project of the club is progressing very smoothly, much faster than we expected, we expect to be basically completed before the end of the year, and start operation before the Spring Festival, it will definitely be no problem!"

"It's much faster than I thought!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "You have all worked hard!"

Zhao Yongjun said with a smile: "The construction unit is more powerful, in addition, it is inseparable from Yiyi's strong support! She also participated in the whole design process, and many eye-catching designs are Yiyi's creativity!"

Xia Ruofei also looked at the design plan, and the final draft was indeed very amazing, and when he heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's have a drink with Consultant Zhuo!"

Xu Zixuan and others responded immediately, and everyone filled their wine glasses.

Zhuo Yiyi said with some embarrassment: "I don't actually have any work, but you still pay me such a high salary......

Asking Zhuo Yiyi to be this consultant is actually because Song Rui wants to give Zhuo Yiyi a little subsidy for the extra money of the family, otherwise the salary of five or six thousand in a public institution is really stretched thin in the capital.

This club is a partnership of good friends, and the brothers naturally don't mind an extra salary.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Zhuo Yiyi was quite serious and responsible, with a very high level of participation, and put forward a lot of constructive suggestions, which helped a lot in the design and construction of the club.

"Labor is the most glorious, you pay for your labor, we pay for it, isn't it normal?" Xia Ruofei said, "Right Xiaorui?"

Song Rui hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, come on, let's have a cup together!"

Zhuo Yiyi clinked glasses with everyone one by one, and then drank a glass of Semillon white wine very boldly.

After putting down the wine glass, Zhao Yongjun said with a smile: "By the way, Ruofei, the mushroom house cooperated with Shonan Satellite TV has also been basically built, and Director Gao seems to want to start filming before the end of the year, and start broadcasting a new season of "Longing for Life" around the Spring Festival at the latest, you have to be ready to be on the show!"

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "You all wait to see the jokes! Mr. Feng is really, it's like catching ducks on the shelves......"

"I think this is a pretty good idea!" Xu Zixuan said, "It not only promotes our Taoyuan Club and your company, but also increases your exposure, you are now your company's living signboard!

Xia Ruofei rolled his eyes and said, "Please, our company's products have always been in short supply, okay? Now the only factor restricting the sales of our products is production capacity!"

"I'll ...... Find a pretending ...... We were caught off guard!" Song Rui said, "Brothers, classmate Xia Ruofei is so arrogant, do you agree?"

"No!" Xu Zixuan and the others said coaxingly.

"Then what should we do?" Song Rui was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

"Pour him!" Xu Zixuan and the others said in unison, and even Zhao Yongjun laughed and coaxed.

"Come on, come, who's afraid of whom!" Xia Ruofei patted the table and said.

Another round of competition at the wine table began......
