Chapter 299 It's Really Raining and Watching Flowers

"can."

Seeing Cai Lan asking, Li Yi pointed to the door of the storage room: "It's over there, just go in and have a look."

The poisonous tiger puffer fish has been disposed of by him, and the remaining fish are not dangerous.

Upon hearing this, Cai Lan came to the storage room with a smile, opened the door and walked in.

The storage room is quite crowded, with all kinds of things piled up to the brim.

There is a large fish tank on the side near the window, which is filled with water, and two oxygen generators are constantly supplying oxygen.

Cai Lan came to the fish tank and looked inside.

Although he had watched the video of Li Yi catching shad, he still had some doubts about the identities of those shad.

He often ate shad decades ago, when it was not expensive, it was very cheap. Later, it became less and less, and the price was raised.

He also has gourmet friends from mainland China, among them is a fan of Jiang Sha.

But even that fan has not eaten serious wild shad for several years.

He has been to Gaoyou Lake and eaten the salted duck eggs and dried tea there.

He knew that Gaoyou Lake was connected to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and had a waterway leading directly to the Yangtze River.

But he didn't believe that there would be wild shad migrating all the way, passing through Chongming, passing through Nantong, breaking through the blockade of the Jingjiang and Jiangyin sections, passing through Yangzhong, and swimming into Gaoyou Lake.

Therefore, this is also one of the doubts he wants to solve when he comes to the show this time.

Are the shad that Li Yi caught are really wild shad?
The bubbles in the fish tank surged, and there were more than a dozen fish, large and small, flicking their fins below, swallowing the oxygen in the bubbles.

Among them, three fish were floating in the middle and upper layers of the fish tank, close to the air outlet of the oxygen machine, with fluttering fins and full of vitality.

Seeing these three fish, Cai Lan let out a hush, moved closer, and looked them over carefully.

After a while, he stood up and exclaimed in surprise, "It's really shad!"

In the program, Li Yi said that these should be Yunsha.

But when Cai Lan watched the show, she was a little skeptical.

Because cloud shad all live in Southeast Asia, their living habits have been fixed.

Although attempts have been made to introduce it into the country and release it to the Yangtze River Basin in the early years, but no effect has been seen.

How could there be such a big cloud shad suddenly appearing in Gaoyou Lake?
But after seeing these shad, he had to believe it.

This is exactly the same as the shad he ate when he was young.

No wonder Li Yi judged that it was Yun Sha. After seeing the real thing, he also made the same judgment as Li Yi.

The shad in the Yangtze River Basin has not been caught for several years. If it is said that it is a pure wild Yangtze shad, even Cai Lan himself would not believe it.

But such a big shad can be caught in Gaoyou Lake, so we can only contact Yun shad who was released earlier.

There is no difference in shape between cloud shad and river shad.

If it is said that this is the shad that was released into the lake before, and did not choose to go down the river to the sea, but thrived in the lake to grow to such a large size, Cai Lan believed in this possibility.

And this possibility is higher than that of pure wild shad.

It's just that I have some doubts about the taste of the shad.

Among all kinds of migratory fish, the fish in the lake are often inferior to the fish in the river and sea.

The key to the deliciousness of wild fish lies in the length of growth and the quality of the meat it has developed against the harsh environment around it.

The worse the fish live in the environment, the better the taste will be.

The fish in the lake have the best living environment.

A comfortable environment will develop lazy meat, so the meat quality of lake fish is far less firm than river fish and sea fish, and the market price is also the cheapest.

Will the shad grown in the lake taste as delicious as the shad?

Cai Lan expressed doubts about this.

But he is still full of expectations for the taste of these shad.

Anyway, they are also wild shad, which is not comparable to farmed fish.

At the very least, it is much better than those who use sea shad to pretend to be river shad.

Satisfied, he left the storage room, returned to Li Yi, and said with a smile, "You guys are so lucky to be able to catch such a big wild shad in the lake.

The taste of wild shad is much better than that of net goods. "

He said, rubbing his hands deliberately, and jokingly asked: "I don't know if I have such a good fortune today."

Hearing this, Li Yi said with a smile: "You are a gourmet appraiser, so of course you are lucky. The biggest one is specially prepared for you."

"Really? Hahaha! That's great!"

Cai Lan smiled and said, "I'm really looking forward to it."

While the two were talking and laughing, Li Yi's hand didn't stop.

He had already taken off the scales and skin of the shad fish he had just fished out, threaded them with a needle and thread, and hung them on the steaming rack wrapped in plastic wrap.

Below the steaming rack, there is a plate with two flowers framed with minced fish.

The bottom of the steamer was already on fire, and the steam was steaming, and the fish scales on the steaming rack had begun to slowly ooze fat, dripping on the minced fish flowers below.

Cai Lan noticed this scene and moved closer curiously, amazed to see it again and again.

"It's really raining and looking at flowers. What falls is shad tender oil, and what you see is shad minced flowers. It's a genius to think of using this method to make shad."

This dish didn't take long to steam. After more than ten minutes, Li Yi stepped forward and turned off the fire.

As he lifted the steaming rack, the fresh scent locked inside by the plastic wrap suddenly released and spread out.

Smelling the tangy aroma, Cai Lan looked at the snow-white and tender shad flowers after steaming on the plate, and sighed sincerely: "The color and aroma are complete, so how can the taste be bad? This dish can be eaten once in a lifetime, and it is not a bad taste." Live in vain!"

However, he was greedy, but he couldn't eat this dish.

This was ordered by diners, and he could only watch and swallow.

But he knows that after entertaining the diners, there will be a formal banquet for him to taste.

So he was not in a hurry, he just came to the front hall with his hands behind his back, admiring the expressions of the diners tasting the food.

"How about this dish? Is it delicious? Is it delicious?"

He shuttled from table to table, asking diners how it tasted from time to time.

Every recognition from diners is a confidence for him, which makes him look forward to the follow-up formal banquet even more.

From being busy in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon, all the guests who came to eat were finally entertained.

"Happy Qixi Festival, goodbye."

Huang Xiaoming and Wu Lei saw off the last table of guests at the door, closed the restaurant door, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They originally thought that wearing the long-sleeved robe would make them cooler, but they didn't expect that if the long-sleeved robe was worn on their bodies, if they stayed still, it would be like a steamer.

They have to walk to have a cool feeling.

But I kept walking, and I was sweating.

So, at the end of the day, they were exhausted.

Fortunately, there was a good meal supporting them all the time. If they hadn't remembered the formal [Beauty Banquet], they would have been exhausted long ago.

Therefore, after closing the door, they glanced at each other, lifted their robes, and strode towards the back kitchen.
