"Little brother, I came to you last year to taste your craft, and this year I brought my father, I know you don't order food here, but I brought a fish myself, can you make it?"

The man in front of him looked like forty-six or seven, and the few hairs on his forehead were the last evergreens on his head, looking at the watch he was wearing, it was not difficult for Zhao Ke to guess that this person was actually not rich.

can only be regarded as the middle class, coming here to eat, I am afraid that the price paid is enough to make him feel pain for a while, and he is holding an old man by his hand.

The old man looked difficult to guess the age, not because he was young, but because he was too old, with silver hair, the flesh on his face had completely relaxed, and his dull eyes looked a little demented.

However, these are not the places that Zhao Ke is concerned about, what really makes Zhao Ke's eyes focus is the fish brought by the middle-aged man.

In terms of size, this fish is at least about eight kilograms, which is definitely a big guy, even if it is not too much to make a whole fish feast.

If it was an ordinary catfish, Zhao Ke probably wouldn't even look at it, but this fish is obviously not, pointed, convex back, with a small hump, and obviously with a fish belly, it is rare that it is still a live fish.

Zhao Ke reached out and plucked a scale from the fish's body, gently put it under the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and after making sure that the smell was not wrong, he couldn't help but praise: "Good thing!" ”

Zhao Ke looked at the fish in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but raise a different brilliance, and after looking at it carefully for a while, Zhao Ke asked the middle-aged man, "How much did you spend?" ”

"I don't have any money, so I got a house in the city."

When the middle-aged man talked about the price, he looked a little helpless, the price of this fish is definitely sky-high, too expensive, if he didn't know the relationship, I am afraid that this fish will not fall into his hands.

A fish in exchange for a house, in exchange for someone else, I am afraid that he will be called a madman, but he knows that this is worth it.

"Earned! If you are seen by a wealthy businessman, this fish will not be your turn. ”

Zhao Ke nodded, and was not surprised by the middle-aged man's practice of using a house mortgage in exchange for a fish.

In his eyes, the rarity of this fish is worth a house, after all, the pure wild can't forget the fish, it is already too rare, and even if there is it in the future, it will no longer taste like this.

Zhao Ke converted according to the weight of the fish, although it is a large fish species, but it will only be about seven kilograms in at least ten years, Zhao Ke estimates that this fish is at least thirteen years old, which is the peak of meat quality.

"What's the matter, this fish really can't forget the fish, I'm not fooled."

For Zhao Ke, a house is nothing, but for this diner, it has already emptied his family, so he naturally pays more attention.

"That's right, you're really lucky, this fish is really not forgettable, and it belongs to the last batch, I heard last year, Malaysia has promoted palm oil, dug up a lot of windmill fruit trees, I'm afraid there will be no forgettable fish in the future."

Zhao Ke couldn't help but feel sorry in his heart when he said this, and remembered that when he first saw the news, he couldn't help but secretly curse that it was a tyrannical thing.

In fact, the so-called forget-a-for-all fish is not uncommon in Malaysia, its original name is yellowfin knot fish, which is not a rare species, and has been found in Southeast Asian rivers for a generation.

The so-called forget-it-all fish can only be called the yellowfin knot fish that is wild in the upper or lower reaches of the Rajang River in Malaysia.

This fish grew up eating windmill fruits on both sides of the strait, and the flesh has a rich fruity aroma, rather than the earthy smell of the fish, which is the greatest value of this fish.

As for the so-called artificial breeding, as well as those caught in other places, it is not at all impossible to say that the fish cannot be forgotten.

Therefore, Zhao Ke said that a house and a fish are worth it, and I am afraid that this kind of fish will not be eaten in the future.

"Great, can you do it, my dad wants to eat fish, but he vomits ordinary fish when he eats it, this is the best fish I found, I just want my dad to be able to eat a bite of fish happily before leaving."

The middle-aged man was happy on his face, but in the end, his eyes moistened again, he knew that his father might not live in a few days, the doctor had told him the worst plan, he could not do anything now, he could only do his best to fulfill his father's last wish.

"Yes."

Zhao Ke nodded, not affected by the middle-aged man's words, and carried the fish into the stove, Zhao Ke looked at the fish carefully.

I saw that Zhao Ke's eyes gradually began to become focused, and he took out a new set of blades from the kitchen cabinet, gently cut the belly of the fish, and the blade gently picked it in the belly of the fish, and took out the internal organs.

The silver blade, the cold light refracted in the light, but in Zhao Ke's hand, it seemed to be radiating new life, fast and smooth, as if each knife had gone through thousands of exercises as perfect.

"Zizizi!"

The fish scales that were removed quickly bubbled out of the oil, and the breadcrumbs wrapped on it quickly began to expand, but before it could change color, it was fished out by Zhao Ke, and after waiting for it to cool, it was fried again and again.

It wasn't until it was golden that it was plated by Zhao Ke, the golden-colored fish scales, under the cyan dinner plate, looked rich and full, and if you sniffed carefully, you could smell a faint milky fragrance.

"Click!"

A mouthful, crispy and sweet, that milky taste, with a very mellow fruity aroma, if you don't witness it with your own eyes, this dish is made of fish scales, I'm afraid no one believes that you eat it in your mouth, in fact, it's just fish scales.

After eating a few for the old man, the middle-aged man's face turned happy and said, "Eat, eat." ”

Although the old man looked a little sluggish, he could feel the slight change in his father's face after eating, and he couldn't help but look forward to the next dish even more.

However, Zhao Ke didn't seem to have the intention of continuing to make the next dish, but took out other ingredients and began to cut quickly, including the previous mountain mushrooms and bamboo shoots, which were quickly sliced under Zhao Ke's blade, and all the brains were stuffed into the fish belly, until the fish belly was stuffed before sealing the wound.

With layers of salt, start to cover the whole fish, pat the porcelain, and put it directly in the oven behind you.

This action made the middle-aged man feel distressed for a while, this is a whole fish, and it is rich to make a whole fish feast, but Zhao Ke simply threw it all into the oven, which is a bit too wasteful.

Besides, with such a thick layer of salt on the paste, can this fish still be eaten? Don't eat it and turn it into a pickle?

Although he had doubts in his heart, the middle-aged man endured it and did not ask it, not because he didn't dare, but out of trust in Zhao Ke's cooking skills.

The taste he tasted here last year is that when he thinks about it now, he can feel the deliciousness of the aftertaste on the tip of his tongue, and such a chef may not be able to find another one in the entire H province.

"Aren't you alright?"

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and Zhao Ke never meant to get out of the oven, and the middle-aged man couldn't help but have some focus.

"Wait."

Zhao Ke ignored him, and took out the warm apricot blossom wine from the hot pot, this wine was brewed by Zhao Ke himself, and it was sealed for about two or three years, and it was originally kept for himself to drink.

But today's dish is so special, Zhao Ke thought about it, only this pot of wine can be worthy of this dish, open the wine jar and seal it, the faint fragrance overflowed from the wine, making people smell intoxicated, and even the sluggish old man couldn't help but look at it.

"Ding!"

At this time, I heard the sound of the oven, and took the fish out of the oven, only to see that the snow-white salt outside had been roasted a little yellow.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn't help but hang in his heart.

I saw Zhao Ke take the back of the knife and gently knock it open, smashing the salt shell outside, the salt shell was already solid, and it was easy to take it off.

After removing the salt shell, I saw that the whole fish was lying inside, exuding a strong fruity fragrance.

When you cut the skin of the fish, the delicate white flesh with a pink texture is more attractive than the so-called Kobe beef.

Put the fish on the plate, no need for any seasoning processing, just use a brush to dip a little warm wine, lightly touch the meat, and immediately the aroma of wine and fruit are mixed together, and the smell makes the middle-aged man can't help but swallow a mouthful of spit.

After serving the plate, the middle-aged man first put the fish in his father's mouth and fed it gently.

After the old man ate this bite of fish, a touch of essence appeared in his originally cloudy eyes, and the delicate taste, as smooth as tofu, and the taste of fruit and wine did not hide the freshness of the fish itself, but set it off to the extreme.

I saw the old man's originally drooping hand trembling and trembling, picking up the chopsticks and putting the fish meat on the plate into his mouth.

Savor the freshest and mellow fragrance, this taste, perhaps at such a moment, will forever be imprinted in the heart of the old man.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man perked up, looked up at Zhao Ke, and said ecstatically: "Eat, eat." ”

Seeing the light gradually born in the old man's stupid gaze, Zhao Ke's focused expression gradually relaxed, and the satisfaction of every diner was an achievement for him.

If there is a medicine in the world that can make people feel happy, Zhao Ke believes that the name of this medicine is called food.

And for yourself, pushing every dish to the limit is your greatest achievement.

At this time, I saw the old man struggling to pick up the fish and meat in his plate and put it on the plate of the middle-aged man, for a moment.

Time flies quickly, and the middle-aged man seems to see himself and his father at the table when he was young, and his father puts the piece of meat in the bowl into his bowl.

"Eat, eat, eat."

The old man stared at the middle-aged man and said with difficulty.

Hearing this, this middle-aged man, who was almost half a hundred years old, looked at the fish in the bowl and smiled on his face, "Dad, I'll eat, I'll eat." ”

I saw the middle-aged man with his head down, choked his voice, and put the fish meat into his mouth, the deliciousness of the fish may not be able to taste it, but the father's love made him feel that this was the most delicious fish in his heart.

Looking at his son's bald head, the old man's eyes showed a hint of doting, and after his hand gently put down the chopsticks, he did not raise them again......
