Chapter 184 Pocket Eight Treasure Fish

The fish was knocked unconscious instantly.

This……

Immediately afterwards, they saw her using her delicate hands and a knife to start processing the fish in an orderly manner, from processing the fish scales to whole fish and deboning, every step, no more, no less.

And she handled it too quickly!

Although deboning a whole fish is simple, it requires a lot of skill. If you are not careful, the skin will be broken, and the fish will be incomplete.

Originally it was supposed to be a very bloody process, but now in Shen Jiao's hands it was like dealing with a work of art.

They were still discussing it there, so where do they have time to discuss it now?
Pairs of eyes stared closely at Shen Jiao's steps, fearing to miss any step.

"Ozawa, how old is our uncle's granddaughter?"

"Jiaojiao just went to college."

"You didn't lie to me!"

"Senior Brother Li, why did I lie to you?"

"But looking at her technique, she doesn't look like a college student who has just entered college. How many decades has she been able to have such knife skills?"

"Old Li, maybe he can hold a knife at the age of 3~"

"Hahaha, it's amazing, it's really amazing. I didn't handle it so fast before!"

……

Several people were standing opposite Shen Jiao, but now they were standing silently further away from her.

I have gone from disbelief to shock now.

Even the hope that had been shattered in Wanze's heart was rekindled, maybe it can really be done!
When Mr. Wan came in, he saw five people in front of them and a group of boys behind them, all watching.

From the moment Shen Jiao stood in that position, she entered the state of cooking and ignored what was going on outside.

After the fish is processed, while waiting for marinating, she still has to make rice pudding.

This rice pudding needs to be put into the belly of the small fish, and the belly of the small fish should be opened to fix the shape of the whole fish.

Then stuff the small fish into the belly of the big fish.

Finally, fry the fish. Fish frying is also a key step. The oil temperature should not be too low or too high.

The fish on the outside should be fried crispy, and the small fish on the inside should also be cooked.

This is a great test of a chef’s skills.

Mr. Wan watched Shen Jiao busy in the kitchen and suddenly felt like he was dreaming back to his youth——

"Brother, how long will it take to cut? I've been cutting all morning..."

"Stop grinding, look at the shredded potatoes you cut. These are called potato strips!"

"No, look at the piece I cut. Is it fine?"

"Thin! But it's useless if you only make one thin. Each one must be so thin, otherwise how can you control the heat? It will be too cooked and too raw?"

"I can do it...but the master asked us both to practice together, why don't you do it?"

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? I practice every day, how can you compare with me?"

……

Because he had just started learning cooking and was introverted, he usually followed closely behind his senior brother. Even if he was often tricked into doing work by his senior brother, he had no complaints.

That was the best memory of his life.

After the master passed away, he returned to Wanxiang Tower. He had to shoulder his mission and support the entire Wanxiang Tower.

After that, his social contact with his senior brother began to slowly decrease. Later, he supported the entire Wanxiang Building and the business was booming, but his senior brother quietly left.Now that he has found his senior brother again, Wanxiang Tower is no longer what it once was and is still in decline.

"It smells so good! How lucky am I to meet Jiaojiao cooking!"

Hua Jing'en went straight to Wanxiang Building after class. She planned to treat Shen Jiao to lunch today and made an appointment with her early in the morning. However, after class, she didn't reply to her message or call.

Because the last message Shen Jiao sent her before disappearing was that she was going to Wanxiang Tower, so she simply came over directly now.

Unexpectedly, she was really in Wanxiang Building and still cooking!

But what is the situation?

A group of people stood there in high spirits, staring from a distance.

"Shh-"

When Wan Ze heard the noise, he turned around and found that it was Hua Jing'en. He waved to her, "Look here, don't disturb Jiaojiao."

Hua Jingen covered her mouth and nodded heavily.

I am really so lucky!
I used to watch her cooking through the screen, but I didn’t expect to watch a live broadcast today. Does that mean I can taste it soon?
Thinking of this, the curvature of the corners of her mouth became a little wider.

The most difficult steps have been taken care of by Shen Jiao. Now the eight-treasure rice is ready. It is stuffed into the belly of the fish bit by bit, and then the small fish is stuffed into the marinated big fish.

Heat up the oil and start frying!
When the oil temperature was almost the same, Shen Jiao slowly lowered the fish. She held the large colander holding the fish with one hand and poured the oil on the fish little by little with the other hand. She repeated this several times until the fish was The surface is fried golden and crispy.

Finally, put the fish on the plate and pour the sweet and sour sauce you made before——

"It's done!"

Shen Jiao took a long breath and said, "There is one last step."

When everyone heard the word "done", they all gathered together. Only then did Shen Jiao remember that the most important step had not been done yet.

I saw Shen Jiao using a knife to make a cut on the side of the big fish little by little, and a complete small fish instantly appeared in the big fish's belly.

Finally, pour the sauce on the fish.

"It's time to show off your shame, the pocket eight treasure fish is ready."

Shen Jiao took a long breath and started to move. She hadn't cooked such a complicated dish for a long time. Just shaving the fish bones required her full concentration, and the knife couldn't be even a millimeter off!
The master chefs who used to look down on Shen Jiao, now no one dares to do anything, but their eyes are always staring at the fish, and the sweet and sour flavor keeps entering their noses, making them want to eat it!
"Grandpa Wan, Brother Wan, give it a taste. It's been a long time since I've made it. I don't know if I made any mistakes."

Seeing that they were motionless, Shen Jiao quickly urged, "It's just fried and hot."

"I'll try it first."

After all, Mr. Wan had seen more of the world than they had. He had regained his calm demeanor and tremblingly picked up the chopsticks from the table. He first picked up a piece of fish from the outside and fried it until it was crispy.

The sweet and sour sauce has just the right amount of sourness and sweetness without feeling greasy.

Then he picked up another piece of fish meat inside. It was very tender. In addition to the smell of fish, there was also the smell of rice pudding inside.

Finally, the most important part is the eight-treasure rice. Generally, the eight-treasure rice is sweet, mainly made of diced mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ham, chestnut meat, scallops, chicken, lotus seeds, and glutinous rice, and is topped with soy sauce and sugar.

But he remembered that the taste made by his senior brother was very special. For so many years, he had never figured out what he added to the eight-treasure rice.

He took a bite with chopsticks, slowly put it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.

Everyone stared with bated breath, waiting for the old man's results. Waiting and waiting, they saw Mr. Wan's eyes were red and he said plausibly: "This is what it smells like -"
