Chapter 142: High mountains and flowing water meet bosom friend

ps: Today's third update is almost mid-month. Everyone has monthly tickets, so please support me. Thank you...

Qi Xiang went out and headed straight for Taihu Lake. Then he caught a fat silverfish in Taihu Lake. He took the silverfish to the kitchen, but did not slaughter it, but instead made a pot of clear water and kept the silverfish in a basin.

When the silverfish enters the water, it immediately stirs up a splash of water, which is very wild.

Seeing this, Qi Xiang was also very satisfied. He pondered for a while, then returned to the bedroom, took a box, and came back to the kitchen basin again.

At the right time, Qi Xiang opened the box and saw crystal clear moon dewdrops in the box. He pinched one of the dewdrops and threw them into the basin. The dewdrops were very transparent and disappeared as soon as they were penetrated into the water.

But at this moment, the wild silverfish suddenly turned around and swung its tail, causing a splash of water. Then the fish's mouth opened and swallowed suddenly, as if it was swallowing something into its belly.

After swallowing something, the silverfish floated in the water and was quiet for a moment. After a while, the silverfish suddenly shook all over, and the fine scales were all shaking, one after another, one after another, and lasted for a long time.

Qi Xiang estimated that it was only after about ten minutes that the silverfish slowly returned to normal and then swam leisurely in the water. He noticed that the silverfish swam faster, and its body was agile and powerful, and there was no trace of diving.

“It’s good.”

Qi Xiang nodded happily and threw another dewdrop into it.

Next, Qi Xiang fed the silverfish with moonlight dewdrops and kept it for three days. In just three days, the silverfish had undergone great changes. Not only was it fat and strong, but the fish scales were also very fine and hard, and a little bit of light flashed.

"I'm already fat, I can kill you."

Qi Xiang was very satisfied, and then immediately reached out to copy and locked up the silverfish.

As soon as the silverfish left the water, it began to swing hard. The force was quite strong, but Qi Xiang's wrist was very calm and she easily pulled the silverfish on the chopping board.

"Bang!"

At the right time, Qi Xiang's hand was like lightning, slapped heavily on the fish's head. The silverfish was stunned and lay down softly, revealing the silver-white fish belly...

At the same time, someone leaned out of the kitchen door and said in surprise: "Are you cooking?"

"What, can't it be?" Qi Xiang smiled and said, "When I was on the boat, I learned a few skills from Tian Shi. I must not be as profound as him, but I have three or four points of skill at least."

"hehe!"

The man sneered and walked into the kitchen. His slightly fat figure and cute face were Zhu Shen, the son of a wealthy rich man in Wuxi who went out to explore the sea together.

After returning from the voyage, I don’t know what compensation Tian Shi and others gave him. He had no complaints anyway, so he went home directly.

Yesterday, he received a call from Qi Xiang and said he wanted to treat himself to dinner. Zhu Shen was also surprised, but after thinking about it, he decided to come here. After all, he had an experience of sharing hardships. This little face still needs to be given.

What's more, Zhu Shen was not stupid either. After waking up on the boat, he found out that Qi Xiang saved everyone in the end. Although there was only no dangerous search and rescue, it was a big favor.

For this favor, Zhu Shen decided to give him a look and came proudly...

"Don't you believe it?"

Seeing Zhu Shen’s suspicion, Qi Xiang immediately smiled: “Do you want to have a gamble?”

"What are you betting on?"

Zhu Shen was stunned and a little puzzled.

Qi Xiang avoided talking about the lottery, but just smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll make the fish and you taste it. If you eat it, you can resist and stop moving the chopsticks, then I will lose. If you can't help it, then I will win."

"Ahha!" Zhu Shen pulled and said with a smile: "Then you must have lost a lot."

"Don't say this too early, so as not to be difficult to get rid of the tiger later." Qi Xiang was full of confidence and grabbed a tool and clumsyly removed the scales of the silverfish.

Qi Xiang's movements were unfamiliar. After scraping for a long time, the scales were not cleaned.

Zhu Shen didn't see it anymore, frowned and shook his head, and said lazily: "Forget it, you can make a lot of trouble, I'll go out for a walk."

"Please!" Qi Xiang didn't even raise her head, she was very attentive and very serious. She successfully removed the scales, then cut the caesarean section, and then used a sharp knife to carefully remove the bones...

Anyway, Qi Xiang worked in the kitchen for more than half an hour before walking into the restaurant with a large tray covered with a cover.

Since he was entertaining guests, Qi Xiang would definitely not prepare only one dish. He had already ordered a table of delicious dishes in a city restaurant. However, to show his sincerity, he decided to make a dish by himself.

Now that the dish is ready, Qi Xiang doesn't hesitate and immediately calls Zhu Shen, who is wandering in the manor yard, to officially hold a banquet.

On the dining table, the lake was steaming hot and the fragrance filled with fragrance. At first glance, Zhu Shen was also stunned: "You made these?"

"No..." Qi Xiang said frankly: "It was delivered by the big restaurant."

"Uh!" Zhu Shen suddenly felt relieved and rolled his eyes, "Then what were you doing in the kitchen just now."

"Different, this is different." Qi Xiang smiled and said, "The kitchen craftsmanship of the big restaurant is good, but the dishes they cook are full of craftsmanship, and they are definitely not as delicious as I do."

Zhu Shen curled his lips and pointed to the covered big market and said, "Is this what you did?"

"Yes!" Qi Xiangzheng pointed: "I feel that I am performing more than I can today, and I should have the ability to succeed in Tian Shi. This dish is definitely the highest level of success in my cooking for seven or eight years..."

"Haha, haha." Zhu Shen couldn't help but hilarious: "As for it, I'm so serious."

"It's not okay if you don't care." Qi Xiang didn't laugh and said seriously: "I still want to beat you."

"What?" Zhu Shen was quite alert, feeling that Qi Xiang's words seemed a little unusual, and he immediately said suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Qi Xiang smiled slightly, reached out and lifted the cover, and signaled: "Come on, try this sashimi I made..."

"Sashi?" Zhu Shen did not look at the dish, but widened his eyes and said in surprise and stunned: "You use silverfish to make sashimi, aren't you afraid of parasites?"

Speaking of which, this is also common sense.

Although sashimi originated in China, it was already popular among the nobles of the princes and nobles as early as the Western Zhou Dynasty. It was called fish sashimi at that time, and after it was introduced to Japan, it was called sashimi.

But strangely, the way to eat sashimi, which originated in China, gradually declined in China, but became popular in Japan and South Korea, becoming a unique food culture.

The root cause is naturally a problem of parasites. The ancient Chinese were very smart and discovered very early on that after eating too much sashimi, they were prone to getting sick, so they should avoid eating.

However, people in Japan and South Korea often eat sashimi but do not have this concern. The main reason is that China is a major inland country, and most of the fish they eat are freshwater fish. Japan and South Korea eat mostly sea fish.

As we all know, freshwater fish have far more parasites than marine fish.

Now recognized by the world, the most delicious fish that make sashimi are all sea fish such as tuna, salmon and other fish.

So when Zhu Shen heard this, Qi Xiang actually used silverfish to make sashimi. The first reaction was that Qi Xiang had no common sense. He didn’t even understand the basic food and cooking, and he still hoped to be able to cook good dishes?

In contrast, Qi Xiang was very calm and smiled and said, "Don't worry. My fish has been processed by special means and there are absolutely no parasites."

"How to deal with it? Is it cooked?" Zhu Shen felt a little relieved when he heard this, and then looked down and was stunned.

I saw the sashimi on the tray. It seemed that it had passed the frozen cold. As soon as the cover was lifted, a wisp of cold air spread out, causing a faint mist to quickly form on the plate.

Of course, these are not the key points, the key is the sashimi on the plate.

Originally, Zhu Shen didn't expect anything, but when he saw it, he thought that the plate of sashimi seemed to be very good. The fish were cut very thin and transparently, as white as snow, very delicate.

It can be seen that Qi Xiang was also very careful when placing the plate. The fish were growing in layers, arranged in layers, like fish scales, with a crystal clear luster faintly emerging.

"It looks... pretty good." Zhu Shen blinked his eyes and was a little suspicious: "You really did it?"

"Nonsense." Qi Xiang said angrily: "It's not me, is it you?"

"It's hard to say..." Zhu Shen laughed and said, "It might be done by the chef of the big restaurant, and you will take it out."

Qi Xiang didn't argue, but just said, "Try it and how fresh the fish is. The chef in the restaurant has prepared it and sent it here. Is there any delicious food?"

"That's true..." Zhu Shen nodded and agreed. After all, he had been wandering around the manor for more than half an hour, but he didn't see anyone coming in and out to deliver food. The sashimi was made by Qi Xiang, so there must be no doubt.

So, Zhu Shen was very hesitant: "It seems to be good, but can silverfish sashimi... be delicious?"

"You can eat a piece." Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Perform the bet I just made. If you eat and don't want to eat again, I will lose. If you eat and want to eat again, I will win."

"Wait..." Zhu Shen felt something was wrong: "Are you luring me into the trap? If I lose, what do you want? If I win, what are you doing?"

"You eat first, let's talk about it later." Qi Xiang wanted to fool him.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shen was not fooled: "No, you can explain it first, otherwise I won't eat it."

"Okay..." Qi Xiang smiled helplessly: "I won't mention any bets. Actually, I have something to invite you today, and I want to ask you for help."

"Hmm?" Zhu Shen was stunned: "What's the matter?"

"I want to burn a kiln of porcelain. I want to ask if you have any options." Qi Xiang said accordingly: "There are many kilns in Yixing, so you should have something to do with it, right?"

Yixing produces purple clay teapots, and there are naturally many kilns. Thinking about Zhu Shen, he seems to be playing with purple clay teapots, so Qi Xiang thinks that it is absolutely right to find him in such a thing.

At the same time, Zhu Shen's expression was very strange: "You want to burn porcelain?"

"Yes." Qi Xiang nodded before trying to find a reasonable excuse to explain the reason.
