Entering the kitchen with Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell, Shi Tian felt a bit overwhelmed. He had never seen such a professional high-heat stove before and had no idea how to use it. Where was the ignition?
Never mind, he thought, let's get everything else ready first! Cooking was not something to rush into; after all, there were two professionals nearby. He could always ask them for help later!
Preparing the fish was something he was familiar with. With a fresh catch in hand and having cooked a few meals recently, he felt confident enough to manage, even if he wasn't as skilled as a professional chef. At least he could meet the standards of an amateur!
As Shi Tian busied himself, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell felt uneasy. If he were the one inflicting such cruel treatment on the fish, the old man would probably chase him around the yard with a spatula. But here with Shi Tian, the old man didn’t seem to mind at all! It hardly seemed fair!
After finishing with the fish, Shi Tian began preparing the sauce. With minced garlic ready, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell was itching to jump in and help!
“Brother, how do you use this stove? I’ve never used one before!” Shi Tian asked awkwardly, a little embarrassed.
The old man taught Shi Tian how to use the stove. Watching him cook the fish step by step without heading to the front restaurant, the old man picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and tasted it right there in the kitchen.
After three bites, he turned to Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell with a frown. “You should try this too. I gave Xiao Tian a recipe, and in just over half a month of self-study, he can cook at this level. I’ve taught you hands-on; what have you done?”
The old man's words surprised Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell. Did it really need tasting? For home-cooked dishes sold at street stalls, it might be decent enough, but compared to professionals, there was still a noticeable gap!
He took a bite of the fish; while it didn't look as good as his own, it tasted quite decent. It certainly couldn't compare to his skills, but it was definitely better than what an average cook would make!
Xiao Tian had not mastered the basics but had grasped the key points clearly. In contrast, you had solid fundamentals but were careless with critical details. You better practice hard; otherwise, one day Xiao Tian might surpass you, and that would be quite a spectacle!
The old man gleefully teased Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell in front of Shi Tian and asked for another fish so that Scallion and Ginger could take a turn cooking!
Watching Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell cook made Shi Tian momentarily dumbfounded. The technique was truly professional!
In less than half the time it took Shi Tian, both stoves were fired up simultaneously as Scallion and Ginger prepared the sauce while frying the fish. By the time the fish was served at the table, they even had time to arrange it artistically and add some garnishes!
“Fancy!” The old man scoffed at Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell before taking a bite.
Shi Tian quickly understood why the old man had been so harsh on Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell after tasting the fish.
While it looked better than his own dish, the taste was only marginally different—perhaps slightly better—but since it was fried at too high a temperature, that advantage quickly vanished!
With two fish laid out on the table, the old man requested yet another fish for himself this time.
His pace wasn’t as quick as Scallion and Ginger’s; every step was meticulous. From preparing for frying to drizzling sauce afterward, he explained each part of the process as if giving a detailed tutorial.
When his fish hit the table, Shi Tian immediately noticed the difference. One taste confirmed that this dish was far superior to his own—not only in basic techniques but also in heat control and attention to detail; this Sweet and Sour Carp was flawless!
Lunch consisted of these three fish—whoever cooked would eat; no one was allowed to leave until everything was finished!
Fortunately for Shi Tian, who hadn’t eaten breakfast, one fish filled him up nicely, and he even had someone serve him a bowl of rice. Meanwhile, both the old man and Scallion and Ginger were feeling somewhat troubled! If they had known how unappetizing those dumplings would be for breakfast...
After filling their bellies and leaning back in their chairs scrolling through their phones, Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell spoke up: “Xiao Tian, you’re going out fishing soon; why are we still holding a Chou Tiao competition?”
Once they caught the big fish, they lost interest in Xiao Yu, just like how the group guarding the Giant Blue would have no interest in catching Carp. Sea fishing was the same; after reeling in a Tuna weighing over a hundred pounds, they wouldn’t even glance at a Sea Bass or Xia Shou, let alone consider going for Chou Tiao!
When Shi Tianyi was asked about using Scallion and Ginger to remove the fishy smell, he blinked in confusion and thought for a moment before responding: fishing is like life; Chou Tiao is akin to working-class individuals. They earn their money through hard work, and while it may be tiring, they seldom catch big fish, finding solace in stability.
After catching Carp, they began to play with Chang Gan, much like small business owners. Their income increased slightly, but they also faced occasional Air Force situations. If there were no reserves at home during those times, they would go hungry!
Once they hooked a Giant Blue, they switched to using Giant Fish rods, resembling entrepreneurs who could feast on a single deal. For them, Air Force situations were commonplace. They understood that catching fish meant landing big ones—enough to sustain them for ten days or even half a month!
Whether it was Chou Tiao or Tuna fishing, it was all about making a living. The bigger the catch, the greater the investment! The risks also escalated! If someone from Chou Tiao caught a Giant Blue, they wouldn’t be able to haul it in with their Rod. And if Tuna fishermen tried their hand at Chou Tiao, their Hook would be larger than the fish!
When facing risks, it’s not courage that matters but skill and strength. Don’t underestimate Chou Tiao; they have their own techniques. A Giant Fish rod of eight meters can be disassembled into two sections for Chou Tiao, making it far more efficient than a Noodle Rod!
Shi Tian was still a novice at fishing but could ramble on endlessly; he had plenty of material to work with. He could spin tales about fishing that would leave the old man beside him dumbfounded!
Is there really so much knowledge involved in fishing? Sitting up straight and glancing at Shi Tianyi, the old man asked with some confusion.
After hearing Shi Tian’s explanation, he suddenly became interested in fishing! Previously, when he saw Scallion and Ginger to Remove Fishy Smell running around with a Rod, he had scolded him several times—had he been wrong?
With newfound seriousness, he replied to the old man and suddenly recalled the last time he went fishing while checking the Imperial Calendar. He directly asked for guidance: “Master, how do you determine where to fish? Is it based on the position of the God of Wealth?”
Shi Tian wasn’t particularly interested in fortune-telling; rather, he was keen on learning how to choose a Fishing Spot. If he could figure out which direction yielded fish, then he could enjoy Bao Hu every day!
