I'm the Culinary God-Chapter 783 - 344: Truly deserving of the ancient poets’ praise for its deliciousness! The mass production method for Fish! [Seeking Monthly Ticket]_3
Raising the hospital bed and then placing a small table on it, Sui Fusheng arranged the dinner plate on top, smiling as he said, "Isn’t there a saying ’you are what you eat’? I specifically asked the hospital canteen to make you cola chicken wings and soybean-stewed pork feet. They’re all good for restoring your hand, so hurry up and eat while it’s hot."
Ren Jie smiled, picked up a chicken wing with his chopsticks, took a bite, and then curiously asked, "Why didn’t the wanted criminal show up when I took down the kidnapper? If he had shot me at the door then, I reckon I would’ve been boxed and buried right away."
"Those two didn’t trust each other, and each wanted to screw the other over, so you got lucky."
After finishing their discussion about work, Ren Jie became forlorn again. "Captain, what should I do if my parents really can’t accept Little Chef? She’s not from Beijing, has no education, and I reckon she’s at least twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, though she has good looks... Do you think my parents might find me shallow?"
Sui Fusheng laughed and said, "You should first see if she despises you for being a criminal investigator... Plus, just because you can’t convince your parents doesn’t mean she can’t. Maybe she’ll be even closer to your parents than you are. Hurry up and eat, rest well, and don’t end up with your arm still in a sling when it’s time for commendations."
「12:30 PM.」
While everyone was busy with their work and studies, Lin Xu’s personal account suddenly updated with a video, which had a very enticing title: "Tired of hearing ’drink more hot water’? Try this little snack that will keep your loved one warm all winter!"
The moment the post went live, netizens flocked to it.
"What the hell, the trend from some Red Book of warming her up for a day just ended, and here comes Lin Boss with a winter version?"
"Case closed, this is a stealth ad for heaters!"
"I just want to know if Dundun made an appearance. If not, I plan on mailing Lin Boss some local specialties."
"Add me in, I’ll send stuff too. As a Dundun fan, I couldn’t care less about fancy foods (SLURP)."
"I really want to see Dundun play the piano. I’ll have my cat watch it several times; maybe it’ll awaken some supernatural ability... hehe, it’s time for the pets to enter the fray."
"Wow, the scope of discussion has really broadened upstairs."
"..."
Without even watching the video, the silly netizens were already lively in the comment section.
It was only after clicking on the video that everyone discovered it contained the detailed method for making candied ginger slices.
"Damn, this is my favorite!"
"Love candied ginger slices! The question is, will they be introduced in the store?"
"I actually wish Lin Boss would open an online store to cater to us fans from afar. We really can’t afford to travel to Beijing every time."
"Exactly, Lin Boss, please open an online store, even if you don’t offer free shipping."
「In the store.」
Standing in front of the service counter feeding Dundun duck breast, Lin Xu laughed as he responded to Shu Yun’s feedback, "Rushing into opening an online store isn’t a good idea. All of our snacks are homemade, with no additives, and we don’t know what they could turn into after being shipped."
It’s not too bad now while it’s cold. In summer, however, the high temperatures inside delivery trucks could cause the products to spoil. Moreover, the shop’s production capacity is limited. It’s best to focus on in-store customers for now. As for opening an online store, we can always consider it later when we have the capacity.
The duck meat today was prepared by Zhuang Yizhou. The duck breast was thinly sliced and quickly blanched before being served. The meat was tender and moist.
Dundun ate happily, running over to Lin Xu every few bites to nuzzle against him, looking very content.
After hearing what Lin Xu had said, Shu Yun sent a message to Dou Wenjing: "The boss said that there’s no guarantee on food safety, so it won’t be available for now. Let the operations department send out a notice."
While they were talking, a fishmonger from the market came to deliver the fish. "Hello, Boss Lin. In accordance with your request, I’ve brought a total of eighty Carp, each weighing forty pounds. I’ve also brought the bamboo baskets and straw you asked for. Are you planning to make some tasty dish with these?"
Lin Xu rubbed Dundun’s big head and smiled as he said, "I’m planning to marinate some fish for grilled fish. It probably won’t be ready until next week. I’ll send you a WeChat invitation then; you can come have a taste, guaranteed you haven’t had anything like it elsewhere."
"Oh, I’m certainly looking forward to trying it."
Soon after, the cart guy came out of the elevator, pulling a flatbed cart. When he saw Lin Xu, he said, "Boss, the glutinous rice has started steaming. Should we throw away the stuff you scraped off the fish earlier?"
"No need. Later, mix it into the new glutinous rice, as this will help speed up the growth of mold."
The cart guy and the fishmonger busily moved all the fish to the kitchen, and then they also carried up the bamboo baskets and bundles of straw.
Once everything was taken care of, Dundun had finished eating the duck meat. Now, it was squatting on the service counter, attentively washing its face. Lin Xu didn’t disturb it and took the plate upstairs.
After cleaning it with detergent, he placed it in a cabinet specifically for Dundun’s tableware. Then he went to the kitchen and, looking at several large basins of fish in the big iron pans on the floor, he said, "Those of you not busy with other tasks, come over and help with the fish. All the Carp’s fish scales, fish bladders, fish roe, fish liver, and fish intestines need to be sorted and packed separately."
When you usually butcher a fish or two, it doesn’t really matter whether you keep these innards and fish scales or not. But with so many fish, it would be a terrible waste to throw them away. They are all top-notch ingredients that could be sold for money.
Ma Zhiqiang came over, rolling up his sleeves to start preparing the fish. As he was busy at work, he asked, "Boss, are you planning to turn these fish scales into spicy fish scale dishes?"
Lin Xu shook his head. "No, they will be made into Fish Scale Jelly. It’s getting cold, so it’s time to make various kinds of jellies to enrich the cold dish selection in the restaurant."
Fish Scale Jelly? Everyone was already intrigued.
It was said that Fish Scale Jelly is even more delicate and delicious than pork skin jelly, beef tendon jelly, or chicken feet jelly. They hadn’t expected the boss to make this dish—it sure seemed they were in for a treat.
After saying this, Lin Xu sent a message to Shu Yun with his phone: "Notify everyone that today we are adding some new dishes for a limited time only in the restaurant, including boiled Fish Bladder, oil-poured fish liver, Stir-Fried Fish Intestines, dry pot Fish Roe..."
Shu Yun, salivating at the thought, replied, "Okay, boss. I’ll start sending out messages in the customer group right away!"
