Chapter 941: Chapter 396: Chen Yan’s Precise Interception! Some People Seem Like Anglers, But Behind the Scenes... [Monthly Ticket Requested]

Nine hours?

But it makes sense. When I arrived outside the Fifth Ring Road this morning, it was just past six. Now it’s almost four, so it’s indeed been over nine hours.

A little reward is certainly better than nothing, so why not go all-in?

Lin Xu silently recited in his heart:

"Cumulative exchange."

Soon, the system prompt sounded in his mind again:

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Perfect Level Cantonese cuisine seasoning - abalone sauce."

Abalone sauce?

Oh my god, this reward is awesome!

With abalone sauce, high-end dishes in Cantonese cuisine should be a piece of cake.

The so-called abalone sauce isn’t abalone juice, but rather the sauce used to cook abalone. Like sea cucumber, abalone itself doesn’t have much taste and relies entirely on the sauce for flavor.

Abalone sauce is specifically for making abalone, especially dried abalone.

But this sauce can also be used for goose feet, pig trotters, chicken feet, fish maw, fish fin, cubilose, tofu, and various other ingredients.

It can even be used for bear paws, but since black bears are now a protected species, the dish abalone sauce bear paws has naturally disappeared from the table.

Can’t eat bear paws, but I can try the taste of goose feet.

Lin Xu planned to simmer some abalone sauce over the weekend and make braised goose feet first to see if it’s as delicious as rumored.

Back on Yingchun Street, Shen Guofu and his wife, Chen Yuejin and his wife, and Ren Chongmo and his wife had all arrived.

Before coming, Shen Baobao had told her family about catching the criminal and described Yan Bao’s precise interception. She was very animated in her storytelling, but the elders were quite worried.

Such a fast car, what if something went wrong?

After parking the car, Old Sun saw the people standing at the door and smiled:

"Little Lin, I’ll leave the fish to you, I’m heading home... I went out this morning and only just came back, my wife is going to hit me with a rolling pin again."

You were so decisive handling that criminal by the river just now, but this is your standing at home?

Lin Xu said with a smile:

"Hold on a moment, hold on a moment..."

He opened the car door and called to Xu Xinhua from the marinated food window:

"Master Xu, pack two roasted chickens, and some other marinated items."

For someone like Old Sun, who has dedicated a lifetime to public safety, you have to show enough respect. You can’t let heroes bleed outside and get scolded at home.

He then said to Old Sun:

"Take two roasted chickens home, and your wife won’t complain. Besides, you can blame it on me and say it was because you were teaching me how to fish that you’re late."

Just as he was speaking, Xu Xinhua brought out the packaged marinated food.

Old Sun couldn’t refuse anymore and accepted them:

He held his fishing bag and said to Lin Xu:

"Little Lin, next time you want to fish, let’s go together again."

"Sure!"

After Old Sun left, the elders had already surrounded Chen Yan. Ren Chongmo and his wife were full of concern for their daughter-in-law, comforting her not to be afraid, while Chen Yuejin and his wife, besides being concerned about their daughter, mostly advised against doing such things as it’s too dangerous.

Seeing his sister and brother-in-law’s increasingly serious tone, Shen Guofu interjected:

"Where’s the fish you caught? Let me see the catch."

At the mention of this, Chen Yan was a bit speechless.

Can we not talk about the catch?

The worst part was that Yueyue even brought back the small white strips she caught, clearly wanting shrimp and pork heart!

"Come, everyone, check out our catch. This eight-pound-eight-ounce big carp is mine, the small silver carp belongs to the second-ranked fishing champion, former director, and as for Yan Bao... Hahaha..."

Under Chen Yuejin’s murderous gaze, she said:

"Yan Bao didn’t catch any fish, but caught a criminal, the greatest catch of all."

That’s more like it.

Chen Yan’s expression softened.

Everyone carried the fishing gear and catch into the store.

"Xu Bao, cook my eight-pound-eight-ounce big carp, let Yan Bao relieve her shock, she did a great deed today, deserving of a fish feast."

"And my five-pound-three-ounce silver carp, cook it for Director Chen as well."

Li Qiang and Yue Liyue also contributed their catches.

Since that’s the case, Lin Xu said:

"Let’s have a full fish banquet today. Yan, can you contact brother-in-law to see if he can come for dinner? If so, we’ll celebrate together."

Chen Yan shook her head and said:

"No, he told me just as we got here that he has to go back to interrogate. That gang has more than a dozen people, and he has to organize the case files overnight. The earliest he can come back is likely tomorrow afternoon."

If he can’t come, then so be it.

We’ll prepare some delicious food for him when he returns.

Lin Xu put the fish into the aquarium and began planning the menu for tonight.

The snakehead would be made into pickled fish, the red-tailed would be pan-fried, the catfish would be split and made into grilled fish, grass carp would become boiled fish, and the silver carp would be made into steamed fish head with black bean sauce and crispy fried fish slices.

As for the eight-pound-eight-ounce big carp that Shen Baobao caught.

Lin Xu thought about it and planned to combine it with the noodle skills he learned a few days ago, making a traditional dish from the Central Plains called baked carp with noodles.

The full name of baked carp with noodles is sweet and sour soft-boiled baked carp.

Baked noodles are dried and fried thin noodles. The fried noodles are placed atop the sweet and sour sauced carp, looking like a blanket, both beautiful and delicious.

The sweet and sour soft-boiled fish from the Central Plains is similar to the sweet and sour carp from Shandong cuisine, but they are different.

Sweet and sour carp uses the peony blade technique, slicing obliquely into the fish meat on each side four times, cutting close to the spine, and then filleting forward to shape the fish meat into peony petals.

On the other hand, the sweet and sour soft-boiled fish uses a corrugated blade, slicing obliquely in a curve, the cuts are dense, and the position slightly curls up, looking like ancient building tiles from a distance, hence the name corrugated blade.

After arranging the big fish, Lin Xu looked at the swimming perch of various sizes in the water and called Xie Baomin on his phone:

"Senior brother, do you have any plans tonight?"

"No plans, not shooting videos today, just finished watching a movie with your sister-in-law and Yu Fei Yu Hang. Do you have any plans?"

Lin Xu said:

"I’ve caught a lot of fish today and want to make fermented fish from perch, can you come and teach me?"

On the other end of the line, Xie Baomin immediately replied:

"No problem, no problem. By the way, where did you catch the fish? Remember to share the location with me. I’ve gone out a few times to fish but couldn’t find a good spot, always ending up with nothing."

These words made Lin Xu smile.

The location doesn’t matter, taking Dundun is better than choosing a location.

He said with a smile:

"Let’s go together next time and really enjoy fishing, by the way, Yueyue also caught an eight-pound-eight-ounce carp. I’m planning to make it into baked carp with noodles."

Hearing this, Xie Baomin sounded excited:

"Baked carp with noodles? Looks like you’ve mastered the noodle skills! Since that’s the case, it’s time to showcase Master’s clear soup noodles too!"
