Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

The waiter couldn't help but sneer at Chen Changfan's boasting, "If a fisherman like you could create your own dishes, I could be the shopkeeper."

Chen Changfan ignored the waiter's sarcasm and picked up a fresh fish from the bucket, holding a seven-inch sharp knife in his right hand.

Brush brush!

A flash of silver light appeared, and Manager Fu and the clerk only saw a few afterimages flash by before the fish's scales were scraped off and fell to the ground.

In addition, the fish had been gutted. Chen Changfan shook his wrist slightly, and the internal organs fell out directly.

Then, under the two people's extremely horrified gazes, Chen Changfan put the fish back into the water, and the fish continued to swim.

"Your Excellency's swordsmanship is excellent!"

Shopkeeper Fu could tell at a glance that Chen Changfan's swordsmanship was extraordinary.

Scrape the fish scales and remove the internal organs in one go, and the fish doesn't even realize it's dead.

The guy was also dumbfounded. He didn't even see Chen Changfan's movements clearly, but the fish had already been caught by him, and the speed was faster than the flying kick of Shopkeeper Fu.

"Borrow the kitchen for a bit."

Chen Changfan wiped the blade calmly. It was so easy to kill fish with the butchering knife technique that was at the half-step perfection level.

Shopkeeper Fu was stunned at first, but then he immediately understood that the other party was going to cook.

He smiled and bowed to Chen Changfan, "Please, sir."

He immediately turned around and kicked the guy on the butt, cursing:

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and clean up the kitchen. Do you really think you're the boss?"

The guy rubbed his butt in grievance and ran to the kitchen with a sad face. Who would have thought that this ordinary fisherman could kill fish so quickly?

Maybe he is just good at knife skills, but he is definitely not good at cooking.

The more the waiter thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. If anyone could create dishes, then why would their restaurant hire those chefs with high salaries?

Arriving at the kitchen, Chen Changfan glanced at the prepared dishes on the table and frowned slightly.

"Don't we have sauerkraut in our store?"

"Sauerkraut?" Shopkeeper Fu was slightly stunned.

Their Shiweizhai is a high-end restaurant, who would eat sauerkraut?

This sauerkraut is pickled and eaten by poor families. It has a sour and smelly smell. Maybe some fly restaurants can have it, but generally no restaurant will use it.

"Then please send someone to find some pickled cabbage. The pickled cabbage is the key to my dish."

Shopkeeper Fu gave the waiter a look, and the waiter went out reluctantly. It is not difficult to find sauerkraut. It is sold in the market, or you can buy some from a family. It is almost winter, and most families will pickle some sauerkraut.

While the waiter was buying sauerkraut, Chen Changfan quickly filleted the fish. With Chen Changfan's knife skills, the thickness of the fish fillets was just right, and there was not a single fish bone. Each fillet was crystal clear and looked very appetizing.

Salt, cooking wine, and pepper are all available. Chen Changfan also beat an egg white, coated it with some cornstarch, and mixed it evenly to marinate.

Then boil water, put the fish head and bones in, and add onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell. This is the fish soup.

At this time, the waiter had already bought the sauerkraut. Chen Changfan turned on another stove, heated the oil in the pot, put in the peppercorns and dried chilies with one hand, and cut the sauerkraut with the other hand.

Add sauerkraut and stir-fry until fragrant, and the dish is almost done.

Put the fish fillets into the fish soup and bring to a boil. Season with seasoning and pour in the sauerkraut.

A delicious pickled fish is ready.

"Boss, try it."

Chen Changfan said with a smile.

On the side, the shopkeeper, who had been eager to try the fish after smelling the fragrance, picked up a fish fillet with chopsticks and put it into his mouth without caring about the heat.

Fresh! Fragrant!

The fish melts in your mouth, with a sour and fragrant taste and a slight spicy flavor.

It makes people want to eat the next bite as soon as they take it.

The fish meat does not contain a single bone and has no fishy smell.

Especially the sour and spicy aroma, the more you eat it, the more you like it!

He picked up the spoon, scooped up another mouthful of soup and slurped it down, his eyes narrowed comfortably.

The sour aroma and slight spiciness stimulate the taste buds just right, making people's appetites whetted.

"Excellent dish! What is the name of this dish, sir?"

"Sauerkraut fish."

Shopkeeper Fu's mouth twitched slightly, and then he smiled in relief: "...The name is not very elegant, but it is very easy to understand. It allows people to know the ingredients of this dish at a glance."

Immediately, Shopkeeper Fu bowed to Chen Changfan and said, "I haven't asked for your name yet, but would you be willing to sell the recipe for this pickled fish to Shiweizhai?"

Shiweizhai has always been famous for its fresh fish. If they can serve up this pickled fish, they will surely be able to reverse the decline and attract customers again.

"My name is Chen Changfan. Since I made this dish for Shopkeeper Fu, I naturally hope to cooperate with your restaurant. This recipe is not a rare thing. I can give it to you directly, but..."

"Brother Chen, please speak!"

"How about I sell all the big fish I catch to you, Shiweizhai?"

Trading recipes for channels. This was Chen Changfan's plan.

Big fish are suitable for cooking and are best sold to Shiweizhai. As for small fish, he can sell them at his own fish stall.

Shopkeeper Fu nodded in agreement, and then saw Chen Changfan pick up the pot again.

"Shopkeeper Fu, I have two more ways to cook river seafood. Let me show you how."

Shopkeeper Fu was dumbfounded. There was actually a new recipe?

There are only a few ways to cook this river seafood, but this young man can actually come up with a new way?

He glanced at the chefs busying around not far away, and wondered who was the real chef.

Maybe he just made up the recipe randomly to make more money.

When Shopkeeper Fu saw Chen Changfan take out crabs and river shrimps, he became more convinced of his idea.

River shrimps and river crabs are low-quality ingredients and they don’t even sell them at Shiweizhai.

In the eyes of Shopkeeper Fu, only poor people who cannot afford fish would buy these shrimps and crabs that are fishy, ​​smelly and have no meat.

But when Chen Changfan placed the two dishes in front of him, Shopkeeper Fu's eyes lit up.

After tasting them with a skeptical attitude, Manager Fu was completely convinced.

I didn’t expect that the dishes made from these ordinary shrimps and crabs tasted surprisingly good.

"The spicy crab is delicious and goes really well with rice. The stir-fried river shrimp with chives are also very aphrodisiac."

Chen Changfan simply told the names and selling points of the two dishes in a few words, and Manager Fu nodded repeatedly.

"From now on, I will accept all the fish, shrimps and crabs that Brother Chen sends me."

Shopkeeper Fu calculated the money for the fish, shrimps and crabs and gave it all to Chen Changfan.

Of course, all fish, shrimp and crabs are sold directly at wholesale prices.

A crab costs 8 cents, a river shrimp costs 4 cents per pound, and a fish costs 10 cents per pound.

A total of 350 coins.

Not counting the money from the recipes, today I sold fish, shrimps and crabs for 650 coins.

It's three times more than yesterday.

This is the productivity improvement brought about by production tools.

When people catch too many fish, they usually worry about not being able to sell them, but Chen Changfan directly opens up sales channels.

He made an agreement with Manager Fu that from now on all his fish, shrimps and crabs would be sold to Shiweizhai at this price.

The three recipes are exclusive to Shiweizhai and cannot be sold to other restaurants, especially Zuixianju.
