Chapter 147: Yangtze River Anchovy

Taking advantage of the night, the riverside came to the Qianjiang River.

Although when Dajin Xiaojin was put into the Qiantang River, Jiangbian was still a little worried, fearing that these two golden silk eels would escape, but when Dajin Xiaojin came out of the space, under the effect of the fishing rod, Jiangbian obviously found that the magical connection between himself and the two Dajin Xiaojin not only did not weaken, but became clearer.

Jiangbian skillfully gave orders to the big gold and small blonde, although the two golden blood eels are not usually birded by the riverside, but for the orders of the riverside, they still honestly carried out the orders.

As soon as Dajin and Xiaojin entered the Qianjiang River, they didn't seem to be very accustomed to the environment of the Qianjiang River, so they wandered around the shore for a while before diving into the water.

Although Dajin and Xiaojin entered the water, the connection between Jiangbian and them was not broken, and under Jiangbian's command, Dajin and Xiaojin began to search around in the Qianjiang River. However, there has been no sign of anchovy, but many other species of fish have been found.

Jiangbian himself was not idle, and kept following Dajin and Xiaojin all the way downstream.

Even at night, the Qianjiang River is lit up everywhere, and there are many people walking along the embankment.

Walking on the embankment with empty hands on the riverside doesn't look abnormal.

Half an hour later, the riverside has walked two or three kilometers, but there is still no good news from Dajin Xiaojin under the water, but he strongly wants to come up and return to the space, it seems that the environment of the Qianjiang River makes Dajin Xiaojin a little uncomfortable.

After an hour, there was still no gain, and Jiangbian began to sweat. But Big Gold and Little Gold seem to be a little more cheerful. The embankment here is not as clean as the previous ones, and the banks are still planted with dense plants, but the air seems to be much fresher.

Jiangbian thought to himself, if he can't find any trace of wild anchovies, he can only give up and directly use the farmed anchovies he bought, these anchovies have been cultivated in the space for a few days, although the flavor is definitely not as good as the wild anchovies, but it will not be much worse.

At this time, Daikin suddenly came with the news that in the deep pool of the inlet, there were traces of wild anchovies, and they were a group.

Jiangbian was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran over, and the fishing rod didn't know when it had appeared in his hand.

Sure enough, in this deep pool, more than a dozen anchovies were found by the riverside, this group of anchovies is huge, most of them are two or three pounds of weight, very cunning hiding in the deep pool, when the riverside controls the hook to arrive in the pool, it is found that these dozen or so anchovies are surrounded by two golden blood eels in the waterhole, the upper can not go up, the lower can not go down, the golden silk blood eel has a great deterrent effect on them.

Jiangbian quickly caught this group of anchovies one by one and moved them all into the pool in the space. If this group of anchovies were not hiding in this deep pool, they might have become a meal on the plate of the Qiantang people, you must know that even if the farmed anchovies are hundreds of yuan a catty, the wild ones are priceless and marketable.

The anchovies entered the pool in the space, and before they could recover from their panic, a group of anchovies desperately burrowed to the bottom. It took a while to calm down, but I realized that the environment I was in was very different from before. However, frightened anchovies still did not dare to swim in the pool easily.

When a wild anchovy was found, the riverside naturally accepted it when it was good, and recalled the two golden blood eels back into the space.

Finally, it was time for the semifinals, the first game, Jiangbian against Fei Qishui, and the second game by Xiao Yalin against Wei Zhenhai.

Jiangbian and Yan Yuan actually met with their rivals Yuan Wenguang and Fei Qishui on the parking apron outside the studio hall of Qiantang TV Station.

Yuan Wenguang got out of the car and didn't care about the ingredients, but walked directly to the riverside and Yan Yuan, who were opening the back of the car and preparing to carry the ingredients.

"Oops! You have to do all the chores yourself! I'm really convinced! How can you say that your fish restaurant has also made some money, don't you know how to let the workers do these chores? Yuan Wenguang said.

"The surname Yuan, go cool, don't interfere with Lao Tzu doing things. What do you love about Lao Tzu, it's your business! Yan Yuan said.

"Yan Yuan, you are also a rich child, don't speak so unqualified, be elegant! If Ruxuan hears it, she will know what your essence is like! Yuan Wenguang said.

Liu Ruxuan is the girl who has been competing with the two.

Jiangbian was not interested in paying attention to a nasty stranger, silently moved the prepared ingredients out, put them on the cart, and then stood up straight, looking at the two people who were arguing here.

Yan Yuan saw that the riverside was ready, and immediately said, "I don't have the time to talk nonsense with you here, brother, let's go!" Wait a minute, bring out your best play, and let that dog-eyed guy get a hard lesson! ”

"Yan Yuan, you dream, you! I'll tell you that your good luck is over today! You won't have the slightest chance of winning the game. I'm telling you, we've won this one! Yuan Wenguang said.

When Jiangbian pushed the ingredients into the lounge of the studio, he found that Xiao Yalin and Li Yueji had already arrived here.

"Brother, how are you preparing? This one, you have to win, and I'll do my best to win the next game, and strive for the finals between our sisters and brothers, how about it? Xiao Yalin walked over and said with a smile.

Jiangbian nodded, "Okay! ”

Li Yueji walked over and said, "Just now I heard from the staff of the organizing committee over there that it was strange that the first game today was very strange, and the two players actually cooked the same dish. ”

"They also make steamed anchovies?" Jiang Bian was obviously surprised, he didn't expect the other party to choose this dish as well.

"It should be that they know your dish and want to use it to beat you out. After all, if two dishes are exactly the same, then it is very easy to compare them, and it is easy to judge. Riverside, you have to be careful, that Fei Qishui is a very experienced old chef, he also has a certain reputation in Qiantang, and it is said that he is also very good at fish dishes, as for the ability to make this steamed anchovies, it is not very clear, you must know that few people can make this steamed anchovy several times a year. Xiao Yalin said.

Jiang Bian nodded, "Be careful, it's all the way it is anyway, if I can win him, I will definitely win him, if I can't win him, no matter how careful I am." Jiang Bian said, when he heard that the other party was cooking the same dish as himself, Jiang Bian was relieved.

I have an incomparable advantage in seasoning, although I may lose to my opponent in the basic skills of cooking, but it is easy to rely on the excellent performance in taste to easily resolve this weakness. The other party can be said to be cocooning himself. Egamibe doesn't know what his opponent thinks, maybe they also feel that they have an advantage in this regard.

At this time, Manqing and Summer had already appeared in the center of the stage in the studio hall.

It was still Man Qing who gave the opening remarks first, "After many days of hard competition, we finally entered the semi-final stage. The two opponents in today's first game coincidentally chose the same dish - steamed anchovies. It is also a famous dish in Qiantang. Anchovy, pufferfish, and saury are known as the three flavors of the Yangtze River, but it is said that wild anchovy in the Qianjiang River has not appeared for more than ten years, and even if it is not extinct, the number must be extremely rare. I wonder if today's contestants will be able to let us see the style of anchovy again? We'll see. Have you ever seen anchovies in summer? ”

Summer shook her head, "Maybe I saw it when I was a child, but I don't have any impression anymore." Let's invite our contestants up first and see if we can see the real Yangtze anchovy again.

On one side, Jiangbian and Yan Yuan pushed a cart from the entrance on the left and slowly walked into the display stand; On the other side, Yuan Wenguang and Fei Qishui walked in from the entrance on the right side with a cart, and Yuan Wenguang pushed the cart while deliberately waving to the audience with one free hand.

"Ya is really scratching!" Yan Yuan looked at Yuan Wenguang's appearance and scolded secretly.

"You can too!" Jiangbe said.

"I'm not that interested." Yan Yuan said.

The contestants from both sides entered the cooking showcase, but the audience was most concerned about their ingredients, and the four men did not attract more attention than the two anchovies.

Manqing and Summer walked to the side alone.

Man Qing walked to the desk by the river, "Master Jiang, can you let me take a look at the anchovies you prepared?" ”

Jiangbian nodded and lifted out a plastic bucket, but the bucket contained a live anchovy.

This made Manqing very surprised, "Isn't that right? Master Jiang, are you sure that you are a Yangtze River shad? As far as I know, the Yangtze River anchovy dies when it comes out of the water, and it is generally kept fresh with ice cubes immediately after it is caught, and the anchovy you prepare is still alive. Can you tell me what's going on? ”

Jiangbian nodded, "This is indeed a native Yangtze River anchovy, I only caught it from the Qianjiang River in the past two days, as for why this anchovy can still be alive, it has a lot to do with my unique secret recipe, and I am inconvenient to disclose the details in this regard." ”

Yan Yuan also leaned over and said, "I believe that there are people present who have seen Qianjiang anchovy with their own eyes, come and identify it, it should be easy to identify." ”

"I'll take a look!" Mei Hongfang, a retired professor at the School of Agriculture of Qiantang University, is also on the judging table this time, and his research is on the Qianjiang fish.

As soon as Mei Hongfang heard that the other party claimed that it was a wild anchovy, he felt that the contestant was lying. There has been no trace of anchovy in Qianjiang for more than a decade, and it takes 50 years for a creature to disappear before it can be declared extinct. The Yangtze anchovy is on the verge of extinction, if not extinct.

But if the other party really has the Yangtze River anchovy in his hand, and he has the ability to keep the wild anchovy alive, what this means, only an expert like Mei Hongfang can understand.

Mei Hongfang walked briskly to the cooking demonstration table by the river and squatted down by the plastic bucket containing the anchovies.

At first glance, Mei Hong knew that the player was not lying.

Mei Hongfang was a little excited, "This, this is really the Yangtze River shad, I haven't seen it for many years!" This can't be faked, the real Yangtze River anchovy scales are dense and delicate, and they are not at all comparable to farmed anchovies! ”
