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

"After introducing the fish meat, let me talk about the fish head. Do you know where the essence of a fish lies?"

Chen Changfan patted the giant bony fish's head and pointed at the emerald green fish eyes.

"Fish brain is naturally the most valuable part, especially the brain of this precious fish. Just one bite can make you more knowledgeable and have a stronger memory, making reading more efficient!"

"Fish eyes can improve eyesight. They are also where the treasure fish absorbs moonlight. These fish eyes can be used as medicine and are very effective for patients with night blindness."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the young masters and young ladies who were watching lit up.

Many scholars in long gowns couldn't help swallowing.

Tang Wan'er felt someone pulling her sleeve.

Looking back, Yun'er wiped her saliva and whispered:

"Miss, you must take a picture of this fish head today. For your studies, it's worth spending any amount of money."

Tang Wan'er rolled her eyes. "If you're greedy, just say it. Why are you using me as a shield?"

"No, miss, don't you want to try this big fish head? It looks so delicious!"

Yun'er could hardly control her saliva, and Tang Wan'er couldn't help but clear her throat.

"To prevent people from accusing me of exaggerating, I decided to cook a delicious dish for everyone to taste!"

As he spoke, Chen Changfan pulled out a sharp knife, casually scratched the fish head, and sliced ​​off a small piece of fish meat.

He signaled Aunt Liu to clean the pot and told her to buy a large pancake. Then he turned on the fire, heated the pot, and started cooking on the spot.

With his perfect cooking skills, making a fish head pancake is extremely easy.

After a while, a strange and fresh fragrance wafted through the entire street, and everyone present couldn't help licking their lips.

"What kind of dish is this? It smells so good!"

"Such a big fish, but it doesn't smell fishy at all. I feel like my mouth is watering already."

"He seems to have put a few pieces of bread in it. How is this eaten?"

After taking the fish head and pancake out of the pot, Chen Changfan waved it in front of everyone, making them stare at him in amazement.

"Look everyone, this is the best way to cook fish head. I named this dish - Fish Head Pancake."

Chen Changfan shamefully took credit for inventing the fish head pancake.

Shopkeeper Fu, who had been watching from the side, couldn't help but sigh that Chen Erlang seemed to have no creative bottleneck in cooking.

After sharing the plate of fish head and pancakes with everyone, Chen Changfan focused on his target customers.

Manager Fu, Chai Feng and others also tasted the fish head and pancake.

Shopkeeper Fu took a bite of the fish and found it fresh, fragrant and tender.

Ignoring the heat, I ate it in a few bites, and then I was left with an endless aftertaste and a lingering desire.

After taking a bite of the fish, he felt as if his soul was sublimating, and his eyes narrowed comfortably.

After Chai Feng took a bite of the fish, his originally disdainful expression suddenly froze.

He chewed quickly and couldn't help wanting to pick up another piece, but he found that his plate was empty!

He clearly remembered that the fish stall owner gave him three pieces of fish!

"Where's my meat!"

Chai Feng glanced around and saw the two men in the lead secretly lowered their heads and wiped their mouths.

After Tang Wan'er and Yun'er each tasted a piece of fish, they still felt unsatisfied.

But Tang Wan'er's good upbringing allowed her to control her strong appetite.

Yun'er, who was standing by, was already licking the plate.

Boss Li from Zuixianlou only got a small piece of pancake.

He put the soup-soaked pancake into his mouth with some disdain and couldn't help making a sound of enjoyment.

This caused an auntie next to him to look at him with disgust.

Without exception, everyone who had the fish head pancake was deeply impressed by the dish, and everyone looked at the huge fish head with different eyes.

Chen Changfan calmly took out a sharp knife and quickly separated the head and body of the giant bony fish.

He immediately looked around, and his calm voice fell steadily into everyone's ears:

"I declare that the giant bone fish head is now up for auction! Starting price: 20 taels!"

As soon as the words fell, there was deathly silence all around!

Twenty taels!

Is Chen Erlang crazy?

What does twenty taels of silver mean in Qingshan County?

It was more than ten hu of fine rice, two good horses, and even several years' living expenses for a family in the county town.

But at Chen Changfan's place, twenty taels can only buy a fish head, and this is just the starting price.

Isn't it just a big fish head? Only a fool would buy it...

Many onlookers who had not tasted the fish head pancake expressed their confusion, but the continuous fluctuations in the quotes shocked them again.

"Twenty-five taels!"

"Twenty-seven taels!"

"I'll give you thirty taels!"

……

This world must be crazy. There are people who are willing to spend dozens of taels of silver to buy a big fish head.

When the price reached fifty taels, the frequency of bids gradually slowed down.

Obviously, this price is too high for many people to accept.

Although Chai Feng couldn't help but make several bids, he was not interested in it, so he withdrew from the competition.

The ones who are still bidding are Shopkeeper Li from Zuixianju and Shopkeeper Fu from Shiweizhai.

"Fifty-five taels!"

Shopkeeper Li shouted out a price with red eyes. It was obvious that this price was a bit too much for him to bear.

"Fifty-eight taels!"

When Shopkeeper Fu shouted out this price, Shopkeeper Li finally showed hesitation on his face.

His goal was the fish body.

If I don’t make this fish head well, I’m afraid I won’t even be able to recover my investment.

Seeing that there was no further price increase, Chen Changfan smiled faintly and raised the gavel in his hand.

"Fifty-eight taels, once!"

"Fifty-eight taels, twice!"

"Fifty-eight taels, three times! Deal!"

With the final word, Chen Changfan handed the fish head to Shopkeeper Fu on the spot, and the latter immediately showed a painful expression.

"Brother Chen, your fish head is not cheap..."

Chen Changfan chuckled and leaned closer to Shopkeeper Fu and whispered, "I'll also give you the recipe for the fish head pancake."

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Fu's expression immediately eased a lot.

Not to mention anything else, Chen Changfan's recipe alone is worth ten taels of silver.

Compared to the smiling face of Shopkeeper Fu, Shopkeeper Li on the side had a look of resentment, and was obviously a little upset about the failure of the auction.

The value of this fish head is not only reflected in its unique deliciousness, but also in its rare fame. If it is successfully auctioned, it will also significantly enhance the reputation of the restaurant.

But now, the fame has been transferred to Shiweizhai.

"Don't worry, there's still so much fish and meat. I can buy a few pounds to keep up appearances."

Chen Changfan was in a good mood as he received a total of 58 taels of silver.

At this time, he was not in a hurry to auction the fish meat. Instead, he picked up a sharp knife and quickly removed the scales and bones from the fish.

Soon, a big fish was neatly divided into a pile of bones, fish meat, and even the internal organs were not broken at all.

"This Chen Erlang has great swordsmanship!"

Others only thought that Chen Erlang's movements were neat, but Chai Feng saw the extraordinary nature of his swordsmanship and couldn't help but admire him.

The big men beside him also nodded.

"The fish meat is bright red, and the bones are snow-white, which shows that the knife skills are precise to the millimeter."

"I never thought a mere fishmonger could possess such proficiency in knife skills."

"Master Chai, why don't you recruit him into your fold? It will enhance the reputation of our Chai Family Fort!"
