Food: How come this boss knows everything?

Chapter 141 Triggered another random task
At noon, outside the small bungalow restaurant.

He Qiang's wife sat in the car, waiting and waiting, but her husband never came.

So I decided to take a nap.

Before going to bed, she rolled down the car window.
Instructed his son:

"Son! Stand in line and don't sleep standing up."

He Qiang's son just yawned.

"Mom, I've let several people get ahead of us. Why hasn't my dad come yet? He has to go pick up grandpa and grandma."

After saying that, he looked at the number plate in his hand again.

He Qiang's wife smiled and explained to her son:
"Your father is sick."

The strange behavior and conversation between the mother and son made Wang Ying, the owner of the small restaurant, unable to bear it anymore.

She had seen queues before, but never one like this.

So Wang Ying invited the mother and daughter:
"Why don't you go sit inside for a while? We're about to close at noon, and if you don't order any food, there won't be anything left."

He Qiang’s wife was just about to say something.

Everyone's attention was drawn to a man at the end of the alley.

This man has a dark complexion.
He takes a step that does not recognize any relatives.

The most eye-catching thing is the big fish he is carrying on his shoulders.

Passersby looked at the big fish curiously.

“This is a big fish.”

"Hey man, did you hang yourself, bro?"

The fisherman nodded, and before anyone else asked, he introduced himself:
"10:50, caught by the reservoir, 23 pounds and 6 ounces, a big fathead."

Passersby can't help but wonder, did I ask?

But some people were curious and asked him about the price.

"Sell this fish to me. It looks pretty good. I'll pay a little more."

The fisherman rejected the offer.

"No sale, no sale."

Passerby: "If you don't sell it, why are you wandering around here?"

"This guy is really weird."

The fisherman didn't take it seriously and continued walking into the alley.

One person, one fish.
Gradually approaching the small bungalow restaurant.

The diners in the queue also looked surprised.

Fish this big are rare.

At the same time, everyone was a little curious and wondered what this fishing master was trying to do with the big fish on his back.

Wang Ying couldn't help but admire: "Brother is really amazing, catching such a big fish."

At this time, the woman in the car also spoke:

"He is just sick. He had to walk several kilometers by himself. Catching one fish is not enough for him to show off."

Fisherman He Qiang nodded to his son.

Then he walked to the side of the car, looked proud but pretended to be modest and said to his wife:

"Not much fish."

“I’m afraid of getting the car dirty.”

He Qiang's wife glanced at him and got out of the car, "Come on."

Then she said to Wang Ying, "Boss, please help us cook this fish."

Wang Ying took the fish with a smile.

"OK, no problem."

It turns out they prepare their own ingredients, no wonder we waited in line for a long time but still couldn’t get in.

The people around also suddenly realized.

After He Qiang handed over the fish, he rubbed his hands. His hands were sore from the stress from the journey.

He had come back from a night fishing trip and passed by a wonton stall. He had Boss Li’s midnight snack and was deeply impressed by the fish wontons.

Now that he knew that Boss Li was cooking in the small restaurant, after catching the fish, besides showing off, he thought of coming to Boss Li to have the fish processed.

He continued to say to Wang Ying:

“You can’t do it well by yourself.”

"Boss Li's craftsmanship is the only thing I trust."

When He Qiang was outside the store, a customer happened to come out after eating.

They ate and drank their fill from the little restaurant,

Although he was surprised by the big fish, he also agreed with He Qiang's statement.

"No problem, this big fish will definitely be delicious to eat."

“The taste of the small restaurant is absolutely amazing.”

“You picked the right place.”

The boss lady was very happy about the customer's trust. Such a big fish was shown off and finally brought into her own shop, which also brought honor to the small restaurant.

A table in the room had just been cleared and it was this family's turn. Wang Ying invited them into the store and then excitedly went into the kitchen.

"Boss Li, let me give you a difficult question."

After saying that, he handed the big fathead fish to the aunt who was helping.

Li Rui and his aunt were both surprised when they saw it.

The aunt weighed the amount in her hand and said, "This must be about 20 kilograms."

At this time, the system also prompted a random task——

[Handling bighead carp for fishermen]

[Recommended recipe: Fish stew in iron pot]

[Task Reward: One Large Yellow Croaker]

Li Rui had an idea in mind.

He asked, "Sister Wang, do you have a bigger pot?"

"I think so," Wang Ying thought for a moment and took out a large black pot from the cabinet at the back. "Will this large iron pot work?"

"It's a perfect fit."

Clean the bighead carp and remove the scales, internal organs, black film, fish teeth and other parts.

Since it was a large fish weighing more than 20 kilograms, even with a large iron pot, the whole fish could not be stewed and had to be cut into large pieces.

The thick part of the meat is cut with patterns to make it easier to absorb flavor and mature. The fish tail is trimmed and the fish head is split in the middle.

Heat oil in a pan and put the pork belly slices into the pan.

First add dry ingredients, peppercorns, star anise, and dried chili peppers.

Add onion, ginger and garlic.
Stir-fry together to bring out the aroma and fat from the pork belly.

Use a frying spoon to measure one spoon of bean paste, half spoon of sweet noodle sauce, and half spoon of soybean paste.

After the sauce is rich,
Put the bighead carp into the iron pot as well.

Light soy sauce and dark soy sauce add color, and a bottle of beer removes the fishy smell and adds flavor.

Pour the sauce from the bottom of the pot over the fish and add hot water to cover the fish.

"It's such a big pot, it's so satisfying to look at." said Sister Wang Ying next to her.

Li Rui closed the pot lid.

"It's not over yet."

After saying that, he took out the cornmeal and started kneading the dough.

"We need to stick some tortillas on it."

The iron pot was boiling over high heat, and the fish soup was bubbling.
Li Rui skimmed off the foam on top.

Put green peppers, tofu, potato cubes and eggplant into the pot.

Then add salt, sugar and pepper to season.

Keep simmering over medium heat.

Twenty minutes later,
Li Rui opened the lid of the big pot, put the corn tortillas on the edge of the pot, and put the vermicelli into it.

The weight of the fish in the pot is several dozen kilograms.

But compared to the physical strength of Qianchuan Realm, it is not that heavy.

"Li Rui, do you need my help?" Wang Ying asked hurriedly as she watched him pick up the big iron pot by himself.

"I can do it myself. Big sister, help me clean up the table."

Li Rui picked up the big iron pot and walked out of the kitchen.

As he walked, he reminded the people around him:
"Be careful, it's hot. Be careful, it's hot."

The diners in the small restaurant looked sideways:
"Fuck, such a big pot?"

"Boss Li is so strong?"

"The fish we just brought in is from this pot, right?"

“This smells so good.”

By this time the restaurant was already closed and no new customers were coming in.

Most of the remaining people were drinking and eating.

The table where He Qiang was sitting,

The whole family was seated there, with only a few cold dishes on the table, all waiting for the big fish to be served.

Sister Wang Ying removed the glass turntable from the table.

Li Rui brought the iron pot to the place on the table where the iron pot was previously placed.

He turned on the electric stove under the table and said to the family:

"The fish is already cooked, but it will become more flavorful the longer it is cooked. It will taste even better if it is cooked a little longer."

"The tacos will take another ten minutes."

He Qiang and his family smelled the fragrance and were very satisfied. "Thank you, Boss Li. It's not easy to make such a big pot."

"It's okay, please use it slowly."
