A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

Leng Yan paused slightly and fixed his gaze on the water tank beside him.

Yesterday she bought two big grass carps and made two pots of pickled fish. Everyone said they were delicious and went well with rice after eating them.

Seeing that everyone liked it, Leng Yan bought a few large grass carps this morning, preparing to make employee meals for everyone. After all, sauerkraut fish is large in quantity and filling, making it the perfect choice for employee meals.

But now, looking at those big grass carps jumping around, she instantly came up with an idea to make spicy grilled fish!

When making grilled fish, you can not only enjoy the deliciousness of the fish alone, but you can also add the broth to the hot pot after eating it. It's really killing two birds with one stone!

Leng Yan did what she said and grabbed a big grass carp, splashing water. Seeing this, she calmly knocked the fish unconscious with the back of a knife and cleaned the scales and gills neatly.

He looked so skilled, as if he had been slaughtering fish in RT-Mart for decades.

Aunt Lu and Yu Min nearby were all stunned. They stretched out their hands to help, but their hands were still suspended in mid-air when Leng Yan had already cut open the grass carp and cleaned it.

Afterwards, Leng Yan made cuts on the back of the grass carp, cut some ginger and added cooking wine, and evenly rubbed the grass carp to remove the fishy smell. He then added salt, soy sauce, chili powder, pepper and other spices and marinated it for about fifteen minutes.

Taking advantage of this gap, Leng Yan turned to prepare side dishes for the grilled fish, such as potatoes, green vegetables, tofu, onions and so on.

When the grass carp is almost marinated, heat the oil in a pan, put the grass carp into the pan and fry until it is shaped, then turn it over.

In order to make the grilled fish taste better, Leng Yan specially grilled the fried grass carp on the charcoal stove over low heat for a while.

"Master Yan, why is this fish roasted on the fire?"

This step made Aunt Lu and others nearby feel strange.

Leng Yan replied, "The fish cooked this way will be more tender and delicious, and will have a hint of charcoal flavor, making it taste even better."

Aunt Lu and the others seemed to understand what was going on, but the fish aroma that came from their noses made them feel that this grilled fish must taste good.

After the fish is grilled, Leng Yan will prepare the sauce for the grilled fish. Stir-fry the onion, ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers and peppercorns in the pot. Then add the bean paste and hot pot base and stir-fry until the red oil comes out. Then add appropriate amount of water and seasonings and bring to a boil.

Since there was no iron pan for grilling fish, Leng Yan found a hot pot pot, placed the prepared dishes on the bottom of the pot, then put the grass carp in, and finally poured the fried sauce and soup evenly on the fish, sprinkled with coriander and sesame seeds, and served it on the table.

"It smells so good, it smells so good, it's so appetizing just looking at it, Mr. Yan, your cooking skills are amazing!"

Aunt Lu couldn't help but exclaim in praise, and Yu Min and the others beside her had their big dark eyes shining and nodded in agreement.

It was a fragrance they had never smelled before, so fragrant that it made people drool.

Seeing their eager looks, Leng Yan smiled and said, "I'll make it for you next time. Today this is for the guests."

As she said that, she called Lu Da to help bring the spicy grilled fish to the table.

Yu Min and the others were so frightened that they waved their hands repeatedly, "No, no, we don't want to eat. We are not hungry and we don't eat much."

A few people were afraid that Leng Yan would think they were greedy and would not want them.

Seeing that they had misunderstood, Leng Yan quickly spoke up and told them not to be afraid.

Then he followed Lu Da and went to the hall with the grilled fish.

"I kept you waiting for a long time!"

Leng Yan smiled and signaled General Lu to bring the grilled fish to the table.

"Is this a fish?"

After taking a closer look, the old man and the other men all expressed uncertainty.

"Yes."

Leng Yan nodded and looked at the man before, "What do you think? Why don't you try it first?"

"I've never seen fish cooked this way before."

The man felt uncomfortable, "I just don't know what this taste is like."

As he said this, he saw the old man picking up his chopsticks, and he followed suit and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth.

The fish meat is freshly killed in an instant, and is tender, firm and tasty. The light fragrance of the crispy outside and tender inside, coupled with the spicy taste, is simply the ultimate delicacy.

In particular, the low fire on the stove has been slowly simmering the grilled fish, causing the vegetables at the bottom to slowly emit a faint fragrance. The more it is cooked, the more fragrant it becomes, and the more it is eaten, the more delicious it becomes.

"Well, it seems that this trip was not in vain. The girl's cooking skills are really amazing!"

The old man stroked his gray beard, looking very satisfied.

"Yes, yes, very few people can cook fish so deliciously without smelling fishy!"

The other two men who had been shouting before were also slapped in the face in an instant.

"Yes, it smells really good. But I don't know what this dish is called?"

At this time, other people at the table asked questions.

"As long as you like it, old man, this dish is called spicy grilled fish."

Leng Yan smiled obediently. Seeing that they finished the grilled fish in a short time, she waved to the waiter to add more soup.

"This grilled fish can be eaten in two ways. After eating the fish, you can add soup to the hot pot. You can try the taste."

Leng Yan helped to order a few special dishes, and then asked the waiter to bring them to the table one by one. After boiling them in the pot, he prepared the dipping sauce and motioned for them to try it.

It was the first time for those people to encounter this way of eating. After tasting them one by one, they were all overwhelmed by the fragrance.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

The old man sighed, took a bite of the shrimp paste and was satisfied.

"This kind of delicacy is only found in heaven, and it is rare to find it on earth. Well, well, little girl, your cooking skills are simply amazing!"

"I will definitely come again with my relatives and friends in the future!"

"Thank you very much, old man. I hope you will come to visit us more often in the future."

Leng Yan's attitude was respectful and his smile was sincere.

Just now, Sheng Yuxing whispered in Leng Yan's ear that the old man in front of her should be a famous glutton with a very sharp tongue.

Whenever he visited a shop, he would always taste the food and give a very sharp evaluation of whether it was delicious or not, which would directly determine whether the shop's future business would be good or not.

What’s more important is that the old man in front of him was also a judge of the cooking competition held by Zuixianlou yesterday, so it is not easy to offend him.

Now that he saw that the old man was satisfied, Leng Yan's mind was empty. Finally he had time to think clearly about the cause and effect.

The picky gourmet arrived, but happened to encounter a critical time when mutton was not available. This could not be a simple coincidence no matter how you look at it.
