The four treasures in the fish pond, such as black fish, sea bass, mandarin fish, and crabs, grew rapidly under the nourishment of the space stream and special feed, but despite this, Li Youran still felt that it was too slow and looked anxious.

Finally, one of the mandarin fish, which was the largest fish that I bought at the beginning, has the fastest growth rate due to the large number of food grabbers, and it should be more than a pound by visual inspection, and it seems that it is time to contribute to human beings. Li Youran stood on the edge of the pool, looked at the prey, and let out a knowing smile.

Uncle Qi watched from the side, naturally understood what he meant, took the trumpet copy placed on the side and handed it to him, he didn't dare to be ugly in front of Boss Xiao Li.

Li Youran took the copy, which was surrounded by a very thick wire, and the mouth was small, which made the upper force, and generally only he could use it.

He paced along the edge of the pool, looking for the best angle to shoot.

The mandarin fish has lived in the space stream for such a period of time, his spirituality has increased greatly, and his sixth sense has become more and more prominent, and at this time, he has already noticed that the people on the shore seem to have bad intentions and danger to him, so he began to swim to the bottom of the pool and the place where there are many fish, looking for a sense of security.

"This fish is such a thief, if this is in the wild, I don't think anyone can catch it." Uncle Qi exclaimed, the special water prepared by Boss Xiao Li is amazing, when he enters the pool, the dumb guy will become a fish essence after a period of time, and it is already difficult to catch it alone, and he now has to use the largest copy every time, pick up several at a time, and then select a target from it.

Li leisurely looked at it for a while, because the breeding density of the pond is now larger than before. There are many fish in the upper and middle layers of the pond, and the line of sight is blocked, so it is difficult to start.

"Uncle Qi. You can get something else and help me bang it. He said to Uncle Qi.

Uncle Qi answered, picked up a medium-sized copy, and began to drive the upper fish to the side.

The fish are frightened and run around.

Li Youran took advantage of the chaos to find the target mandarin fish that was wandering on the bottom. Calculate the amount in advance and shoot.

"Brush!" The copy plunged into the water like lightning, and the mandarin fish slammed headlong into the net and was lifted out of the water. It takes less than a second.

The mandarin fish struggled desperately, and also opened its large mouth to bite indiscriminately, revealing sharp teeth of various sizes on the mandible and mouth bone.

Li Youran put the copy back, stretched out his right hand, and quickly and accurately grabbed the gills of the fish with his thumb and index finger.

"Good!" Uncle Qi applauded loudly on the side.

"Good goblin guy." Li Youran carried the mandarin fish that was helpless, but kept flicking its tail.

"Huh. This kind of fish must be delicious. Uncle Qi said with a smile.

Li Youran threw the mandarin fish into the bucket and walked out of the light cover. Today, I want Chef Chen to make a long-awaited squirrel mandarin fish.

In the evening, the neatly dressed Chef Chen was invited to the kitchen of the Baozipu South Store. Make a fish dish for Boss Li.

Perhaps, this will become the next signature dish of the private restaurant.

In the kitchen, Uncle Qi instructed the men to make preparations according to Chef Chen's requirements, and after removing the scales and disemboweling the mandarin fish, he washed it, put it in a basin and sprinkled some rice wine on it, so as to remove the fishy smell of the fish and make the fish taste more delicious.

Next to it is a bowl of sauce with tomato sauce and fresh soup in a bowl. Sugar, balsamic vinegar. Wine, fresh soy sauce. Wet starch is stirred.

There are other ingredients, all of which are ready and placed on the countertop.

Chef Chen washed his hands with soap and stood in front of the board. On the other side, a wok has been set up on the stove, and the oil is lit on the fire.

Li Youran, Uncle Qi and two guys visited on the side and also learned how to make this famous dish. Everyone was silent, staring at the board in front of Chef Chen.

Chef Chen made a move, copied the mandarin fish to the board with his left hand, held it down, and held it with his right hand, snapped, and the mandarin fish's head separated.

The left hand did not move, but the right hand was replaced by a fish knife at some point, and the snow light flashed silently twice, and the two pieces of fish meat were separated by the bones, but there was only a little bit left connected to the tail.

The two pieces of fish meat are cut with the skin facing down, and the knife alternately and quickly cuts through them, and a diamond-shaped knife pattern as deep as the skin appears on the flesh.

Next, he mixed it with cooking wine and refined salt, and spread it on the head and flesh of the fish respectively.

Then roll on the dry starch, shake the tail with your hands, and remove the remaining powder.

Almost at the same time, the oil in the wok was also hot, and he carried the tail of the fish upside down and poured the hot oil from the pan on the fish with an oil spoon from top to bottom, in order to shape the fish with the knife cut. …,

The fish makes a sizzling sound, and the aroma begins to appear.

Chef Chen then put the fish into the oil pot, and the oil pot under the high fire suddenly boiled, and the fish quickly turned golden brown, and the knife flower turned up. Remove and place in an oval dish. The fish head is also fried in the oil pan until golden brown, and the fish head is pressed with chopsticks while frying, and the fish mouth is wide open and set.

He put the fried fish head and flesh back together into the shape of a whole fish, with the head and tail upturned. Pose in a vivid squirrel look.

Leave a little oil in the wok, put in the green onion and stir-fry until fragrant, then add garlic cloves, diced bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, peas, shrimp and stir-fry, add the prepared sauce, and then turn on a large fire, burn the thick soup, and drizzle with sesame oil.

Finally, the pot was poured on the mandarin fish, and suddenly the "squirrel" squeaked and "screamed".

Coupled with a little coriander and cauliflower, a beautifully shaped and fragrant squirrel osmanthus is completed.

"Okay." Li Youran took the lead in applauding, not to mention eating, just watching Chef Chen's smooth operation is a kind of enjoyment.

"Hey, Master Chen, your movements are so fast, we can't see clearly." Uncle Qi said regretfully.

Chef Chen smiled and nodded, not explaining.

"Boss Li, this dish should be eaten while it is hot." Then he turned and left the kitchen.

"Go to the backyard and eat together." Li leisurely commanded.

Uncle Qi hurriedly picked up the dish and walked to the backyard.

On the west side of the fish pond in the backyard, a round table has been set up, and Sun Xiaoying, Gu Weiwei and a guy are bringing out plates of dishes from the back kitchen of the Baozipu North Store and putting them on the table.

These are home-cooked meals made by the kitchen guys.

Uncle Qi put the squirrel mandarin fish in the middle of the table. This is the protagonist of the day, and other dishes are arranged around it, in the form of stars and moons.

"It smells so good." Sun Xiaoying got closer and sniffed.

"Eat when you're ready. Don't wait for it to get cold. By the way, have the fat man and Fang Cheng arrived? Li Youran asked.

Gu Weiwei was about to speak, when she heard the horn of a car outside the backyard door, and the guy hurriedly opened the courtyard door. A white Buick Regal drove in.

"This guy is really in a hurry, and the time is just right." Li Youran said with a smile.

The car door opened, and Luo Fatzi, Li Fangcheng, and Huzi quickly got out of the car. Apparently I saw the dining table in the courtyard in the car.

"It's okay, it's okay, I finally caught up, and the road is jammed." Luo Fatzi said with palpitations.

This afternoon, Li Youran called him and said that he would try and taste one of the signature dishes of the future private restaurant, "Squirrel Mandarin Fish", which was made of mandarin fish that had been raised in the fish pond for a period of time, and Chef Chen was in charge of the cooking. Ask him if he's interested in going to the feast.

Luo Fatzi is naturally full of interest, and it is rare to see Chef Chen's craftsmanship. Second, I also have the responsibility to give advice and check the signature dishes of private restaurants.

As soon as I got off work, I went to the aquarium store to pick up two of my subordinates, but I caught up with the traffic jam, and I was in a hurry on the road, but fortunately I came back in time.

"Wash your hands. Hurry up and don't wait for the food to get cold. Li Youran instructed that the fish dishes should be eaten while they are hot, and if they are cold and then reheated, the taste will be much worse.

A few minutes later, the three of Luo Fatzi, Li Youran, Gu Weiwei, Sun Xiaoying, and Uncle Qi sat around the dining table, and the other managers were busy and went out. For the time being, there is no such mouthful.

"It is worthy of the chef's craftsmanship, and the knife skills are exquisite. The pouring juice is bright red, just looking at this appearance is first-class. Luo Fatzi watched today's main course. I can't help but praise.

In the past two years, he has eaten with the leader a lot because of his work, and he has gained some knowledge. I've eaten this dish in other restaurants before, and the two are superior.

The other people at the table also watched this squirrel osmanthus fish together, which was so exquisite that people couldn't bear to put down the chopsticks.

"Don't just look, let's go. There aren't many of them, so let's take it easy. Li said leisurely, stretched out his chopsticks, and was the first to pick up a piece from the back of the fish, and put the hot fish piece into his mouth.

The sauce is moderately sweet and sour, the fish is crispy on the outside, tender and smooth on the inside, with tenacity, and immediately feels fresh and fragrant, and the aroma is condensed but not dispersed.

This is the real delicacy of mandarin fish, which he has never tasted before. I used to think that the carp and grass carp in the fish pond were already very delicious, but the mandarin fish from the same place was better in terms of taste and taste, and it was really delicious. …,

He exhaled softly, which made his nasal cavity feel the same strong but simple aroma.

"It's worthy of being a mandarin fish, it's delicious, the taste is smooth, and it's much better than grass carp and silver carp." Fat Luo ate a big one, squinted his small eyes, tasted it carefully, nodded and sighed.

Sun Xiaoying and Gu Weiwei naturally had to maintain their manners in front of everyone, and they tasted small pieces, and then their eyes were bent into a crescent shape.

"It's the first time I've ever eaten such delicious fish in my life, and that's enough." Uncle Qi only took a piece and went to eat other dishes.

As for Li Fangcheng and Shunzi, they couldn't say anything, and they kept saying that it was delicious, because there were many people and few fish, so they were embarrassed to taste more, so they just used a small spoon to scoop the sauce and side dishes on the plate, and put them in the white rice to mix and eat.

"Eat it hot and be careful with the fish bones." Li leisurely reminded.

Although everyone didn't dare to let go of eating, they only tasted it. But the fish weighing more than a pound really didn't have much meat, and after a while, it was scratched and pulled out, and there was only one fish bone left on the plate, and there was not even juice left.

Everyone sighed that there were too few, and there was still no end to it.

"How's that, guys, tell me, is this enough to make a signature dish?" Li asked with a smile.

Needless to say, the delicacy of the mandarin fish has convinced everyone, and of course there is no objection.

The main course is eliminated, and the dinner party officially begins, and of course the other dishes are not as expensive as the main course, so everyone let go of the greeting, and the food brings people a feeling of happiness, which is not false at all. After enjoying the mandarin fish, everyone's mood was obviously high, so the sound of clinking glasses, discussions, laughter, and noises mingled together, so unhappy.

completely forgot Chef Liu's high requirements for the guests of the private restaurant, and he was really strict with others and lenient with himself
