Lu Ke'er seemed to be oblivious to the contempt in everyone's eyes and smiled slightly: "The fish dish I'm going to make is called pickled fish. Pickled cabbage is a must-have ingredient."

Shopkeeper Qin then realized that he had misunderstood, and said awkwardly: "This is the first time I've heard of pickled fish. I wonder how it's prepared?"

"The fish I brought are ruined. I hope that Manager Qin can help me get two black fish weighing about two kilograms. If there are live fish, it would be even better."

"Okay, don't worry, there are live fish in the kitchen right now." Qin Fang was also intrigued and curious, and ordered, "Qinghua, take Miss Lu to the inner room to change into new clothes and tidy up. Then take Miss Lu to the kitchen. Tell everyone that all the items and ingredients in the kitchen are at the Miss' disposal."

A clever little girl responded and said to Lu Ke'er respectfully, "Miss Lu, please follow me."

"Dongling, come with me and help me in the kitchen." Lu Keer pulled Dongling.

Dong Ling hesitated: "Ke'er, this is your family's secret recipe. It's not appropriate for me to go... right?"

"What is the difference between you and me?"

Just one sentence made Dong Ling's heart warm.

Some of the onlookers had already eaten, but because they were extremely interested and curious about the pickled fish, they stayed and wanted to see it for themselves.

Although Sun Mixing was not keen on eating, he was particularly concerned about Lu Ke'er and wanted to stay to see the results. However, a pharmacist at Ruyi Hall came to urge him to go back to see patients, so he had to go first. Before leaving, he repeatedly invited Lu Ke'er to visit Ruyi Hall when she was free, saying that he wanted to continue discussing medical skills with her. He did not leave until Lu Ke'er agreed.

"Interesting. I've eaten all over the country, but this is the first time I've heard of using pickled cabbage to cook fish." Yu Qianjing stroked the hair hanging in front of her chest with her jade-like slender fingers, leaning against a carved lacquer-painted pillar, and asked casually, "Could it be that this little country girl came to Pinxianlou just to cook a dish?"

Rong Zhixing looked at the people waiting curiously downstairs, and smiled slightly, saying meaningfully, "It seems that the new dishes of this season at Pinxianlou will be ready soon."

Yu Qianjing was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly his peach blossom eyes were filled with smiles: "Oh, I almost forgot that this Pinxianlou was originally yours. No wonder you, a cold-hearted person like you, are so concerned about this little village girl. Haha, fortunately, the enthusiastic person just now invited Doctor Sun from Ruyi Hall. If he had invited the doctor from Xuanhu Pavilion, how would you step down?"

What this means is that the doctor in your Xuanhu Pavilion may not be able to compare with the little country girl.

Rong Zhixing glanced at him coldly: "Ruyi Hall is closer to Pinxian Building. Who would go to a far place for help? Besides, here, besides you and Qin Fang, who knows me?"

Yu Qianjing nodded: "That's true. Everyone knows that Pinxianlou is all over the land of Qi Country, but they don't know that it is owned by the same person as the recently appeared Xuanhu Pavilion. If not, wouldn't it be a joke if people knew that Pinxianlou sought medical treatment instead of Xuanhu Pavilion and went to Ruyi Hall?"

Seeing Rong Zhixing ignoring him, Yu Qianjing blinked his charming peach blossom eyes and said, "This little village girl is interesting. In addition to her excellent medical skills, is she also proficient in cooking? Do you think she is really a village girl?"

Rong Zhixing said with a cold and handsome face, "How should I know? There are many strange people and things in the world. Maybe she has more than one master, the Divine Doctor Lingkong."

Yu Qianjing's eyes flickered and she smiled: "Maybe one of her masters is a genius chef."

Rong Zhixing frowned slightly, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

A country girl who is proficient in both medicine and cooking, he would not believe that there was no expert behind her. But what is that person's purpose? It is worth pondering.

While they were talking and laughing, Yu Qianjing suddenly became serious, sniffed, and praised: "What's that smell? It smells so good."

The aroma was very strong, lingering in the entire hall, seeming to arouse the appetite of people. Following the aroma, Qin Fang's eyes could not help but fall on a large pot of steaming food on the table. It was the pickled fish that Lu Ke'er had just brought over.

The snow-white fish meat floats in the fragrant soup, appearing and disappearing, echoing the green-gray sauerkraut.

Qin Fang picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of fish. The fish was sliced ​​very thinly and was crystal clear like jade. When he put it in his mouth, Qin Fang's eyes widened instantly.

The fish meat is fresh, fragrant, tender and smooth, almost melting in the mouth, and the taste is incomparable to the old and rough fish meat nowadays. After taking a bite of the fish meat, the sour and spicy, spicy and fresh taste still lingers between the lips and teeth.

Qin Fang ate several mouthfuls of soup one after another. He found that the soup contained not only fish and pickled cabbage, but also a lot of tender bean sprouts. Even the bean sprouts were soaked in the delicious soup, which made people linger.

The people around him watched him eat with relish and enjoyed the meal. They couldn't help but imagine how delicious the fish would be and they all salivated.

"What do you think of this dish, Shopkeeper Qin?" After a cup of tea, when Qin Fang put down his chopsticks reluctantly, Lu Ke'er asked indifferently.

"Delicious! Yummy! Really memorable!" Qin Fang gave Lu Ke'er a thumbs up.

“What if we launch this dish as a new dish for this season at Pinxianlou?”

Qin Fang's eyes suddenly widened.

He became excited: "You...what do you mean?"

He could foresee that if this fish dish was launched, his business at Pinxianlou would surely be more prosperous. And in the year-end evaluation of many shopkeepers, his performance would surely be greatly improved.

Lu Ke'er said calmly: "I can teach you how to cook this fish dish, but I have a condition."

Qin Fang gradually calmed down. He looked at the thin girl in front of him, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Although this is the first time I have seen this pickled fish, now everyone present can see the ingredients and condiments of this dish. And I have also tasted it. Our chefs in Pinxianlou are all highly skilled. I believe they will be able to make this dish after trying a few times."

Lu Ke'er remained calm and composed: "Shopkeeper Qin, when I was cooking in the kitchen just now, there was no one else present except Dong Ling and I. In other words, no one in your Pinxianlou knows how to make this dish."

She smiled faintly and continued, "The ingredients are not uncommon, and the side dishes are also easy to find. However, the cooking technique and the heat are secrets. The same ingredients and side dishes, with a slight difference in quantity and heat, often have a very different taste. Moreover, the most important thing about this pickled fish dish is the preparation of the fish meat."

Shopkeeper Qin was puzzled: "Nowadays, ordinary people and restaurants cook fish whole or in pieces. It is true that few people cut the fish meat so thinly. However, after trying a few times, we are sure that we can cut it well."

"Shopkeeper Qin also tasted the fish just now. How did it feel?"

"Tender, smooth, fresh and spicy..." Shopkeeper Qin suddenly stopped talking.

"I believe that Shopkeeper Qin has understood the highlight of this dish." Lu Ke'er said calmly, "Have you ever tasted such tender fish? I believe that even your Pinxianlou can't cook it like this."
