Chapter 183: Mandarin Fish and Perch
At four o'clock in the afternoon. Li Youran was watching the situation in the fish pond in the backyard. The blackfish, in good condition, were swimming happily at the bottom of the water, and he was standing on the edge of the pool. Touching his chin, wondering when these guys will be able to enter the kitchen and contribute to the better life of mankind?
At this moment, there was a car horn outside the hospital, and the guys from the logistics department hurriedly went over to open the courtyard door, only to see the Jinbei van driving in backwards and driving until it stopped near the fish pond.
The car door opened, and Feng Daniu, who was wearing a white sè single vest, jumped out of the driver's seat.
Six Xiaoxia, find someone to unload the car. Hurry. Feng Daniu shouted in a loud voice.
Someone in the logistics department answered, and then two guys came out.
Feng Daniu pulled the carriage door open and instructed the two men to lift down several plastic water tanks with nylon mesh covers.
"Big bull, it's new." Li leisurely walked over and greeted.
"Boss, there's a new batch of fish, and there's something good in it." Feng Da Niu had a smug smile on his dark face.
"Oh, I'd like to see what treasures Director Feng bought." When Li Youran heard him say this, he was also interested and came to the side of the water tank.
Feng Daniu asked the man to move the two water tanks to a shady place under the eaves, and then pulled open the nylon mesh cover, and dodged away to let Li leisurely come forward to take a closer look.
Li Youran took a closer look, the fish on today were really different from usual, first of all, the most eye-catching thing in the tank in front of him was a few fish with black spots on their bodies, with slender bodies, flat sides, obtuse and round shapes on the dorsal and ventral surfaces, large mouths, and pointed.
Youran was obviously stumped and said that his cognition of edible fish, that is, some common species such as silver carp, carp, and grass carp, he really hadn't seen this one in front of him. I don't have the impression of fishing in the ditch of my hometown when I was a child.
Feng Da Niu was happy and didn't say anything, it seems that it is also a very interesting thing to stump Boss Xiao Li.
"Brother Niu, you dare to be the boss, be careful." Xiao Xia also stuck her head over to take a look.
"Go, go, work. There's something going on with you. Feng Daniu glared at Xiao Xia and sent him to clean up the carriage.
"Forget it, I can't guess, you can say it." Li Youran had no choice but to admit that he really didn't know.
"Hehe, boss, this is a perch, a good thing, I heard that the meat is fine and delicious, there is no fishy smell, and the nutrition is good, alas, it's a pity that I haven't tasted it." Feng Daniu revealed the mystery and said regretfully.
"It turns out that this is a cyst fish, you haven't tasted it, how do you know it's delicious?" Li asked leisurely.
"Hehe, I heard that. This is bought from a professional fish farmer in Douhu Township in the west, that is really a cow man, not with other farmers to join in the fun, people specialize in raising rare fish in the market, I heard that they can earn millions a year. Feng Daniu sighed in admiration.
Li Youran nodded, this kind of person is the most intelligent and does not follow the so-called mainstream of the market.
Look, when others see that he has made money and come to follow suit, it will be time for others to change to other varieties. As for those who join in the fun and follow the trend, they will never make a lot of money.
"Big cow, is this fish a little bigger, I think it's more than a catty." Li Youran was a little suspicious, because the fish pond here is usually half a large fish cub, and then raised in special water for a period of time before being served on the table.
"Boss, you're wrong, the perch grows fast, and the adult fish can weigh three or four catties, and I heard that the largest can reach more than thirty catties. The one we bought is only five months old. Feng Daniu pointed to the water tank and said.
Oh, this fish is good, the ancient poet once said, "People come and go on the river, but love the beauty of the fish"
The verses praise its posture and taste.
Well, when the fish grows up, save two for yourself. Li Youran thought.
Then, Feng Daniu told him that in fact, the price of breeding flowers is not high, only more than ten yuan a catty, of course, if you use special water to raise a section, then use the name of wild flower sacs to send to the sīfang restaurant The price is not ordinary.
Feng Daniu said as he turned out the diluted disinfectant water handed over by Xiao Xia, poured it into the water and began to disinfect the fish.
"Yes, it's a good thing. What about this box? Li Youran turned his eyes to the other water tank.
The nylon nets have been removed, revealing a group of fish with thick bodies, short tails, large mouths, and sharp teeth, with brown and yellow bodies and many irregular patches. …,
"This is a brand new fish, more expensive than a flower sac." Feng Daniu did not sell Guan Zi this time, and directly informed the other party.
Although Li Jiran has never seen a deer fish, this fish is really famous, and it is said that it has been a fish enjoyed by dignitaries and nobles since ancient times, but ordinary people can't afford to consume it.
By the way, I remembered a poem again, "The white birds fly in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossoms run the fish and the fish are fat", and I forgot who wrote it. Hehe, today is really a great poetry.
Li Youran thought about it, and by the way, he read out the poem in a subdued tone.
This caused Feng Daniu and the guys to applaud loudly, and they also slapped their hands, praising the boss's level is high, and when they see the fish, they can only think of the words "fragrant" and delicious, who knows that there are such elegant verses.
Boss Xiao Li smiled and nodded, indicating that he would gladly accept.
Mandarin fish is also known as osmanthus fish, there is a famous dish in Suzhou called squirrel osmanthus fish, which is to remove the bones of the fish and cut it into a flower knife with an oblique knife, fry it into a golden sè and squirrel form in the oil pan and put it on the plate, and then pour the prepared hot marinade onto the fish, making a squeaky sound, as if the squirrel is calling, very rich sè.
The two chefs in the restaurant should have no trouble making this dish.
It's just that whether it's a black fish, a mandarin fish, or a sea bass, you need to wait a little longer.
Feng Da Niu bought these two kinds of high-grade fish this time, and the others were the same ordinary goods as before.
Despite this, Li Youran was already very satisfied, first put the fish pond to raise, and when he was fattened, he and others would eat two meals first, and the rest would go into the sīfang restaurant, so that the two chefs could design a few new dishes to meet the needs of high-end customers who thought that the home-cooked fish was not high-grade enough.
He also instructed Feng Daniu to buy more advanced freshwater edible fish in the future, such as fish and sturgeon, as usual, and not to be afraid of expensive.
Feng Daniu naturally agreed and said that next time he would change the farmer to take a look.
It's a pity that the fish pond can't raise marine fish for the time being, otherwise you can get some sea delicacies such as grouper. Li Youran thought.
At this time, Uncle Qi also rushed over after receiving the notice and began to handle the handover with Feng Daniu, counting the varieties and quantities of fish.
Li Youran stopped bothering them and went back to the office by himself.
