“You’ve gained weight again.” Adrian Zhekova said.
He could feel it even though he picked the child up every day.
“Cindy said, it’s when I should grow most.” The little one explained ahead.
“Yes.” Adrian nodded in agreement.
Children grow rapidly, changing from day to day since birth.
Having lived with Morgan for a week, Adrian gained a clear understanding of this.
He couldn’t help feeling regretful.
At this moment, he could sense Morgan’s obvious changes every day.
The changes in the past four years since Morgan was born must have been even more dramatic.
Unfortunately, he missed witnessing that.
Missing the past four years means they are gone forever.
Time lost can never be made up for.
Regretfully, Adrian held Morgan in his arms and planted a kiss on his soft little face.
Adrian lowered his head, found Cindy’s lips and gave her a peck.
“Are you making soup?” Adrian asked again.
“I want to try making Yellow Croaker in Soup.” Cindy replied, “I’m thinking about using it as the dish for the next competition.”
“Yellow Croaker in Soup, this dish has high requirements. Not only for the ingredients but also for the knife skills.” Adrian was aware of this.
Because ‘Quire’ also has this dish.
Cindy nodded, pointing at the yellow croaker on the cutting board: “I have deboned the fish.”
One of the difficulties in making Yellow Croaker in Soup is removing the fishbone without damaging the fish belly.
Upon hearing this, Adrian let go of Cindy and took a look at her prepared yellow croaker.
The fish scales and gills had been cleaned, and the skin on the fish head had been removed.
The fishbone had been pulled out, and the internal organs were cleaned.
“Removing the skin of the fish head helps prevent the spread of the fishy smell.” Cindy said, “As for the fishbone, I made a small incision near the fish belly from the tail, and pulled out the fishbone, thus leaving the belly undamaged.”
Adrian nodded: “Choosing this dish may set a higher bar. Because Yellow Croaker in Soup is one of Michael Greene’s signature dishes. Currently, not many people in the country can make it, and among those who can, only Michael Greene can reach the standard.”
“Other restaurants also have Yellow Croaker in Soup, but they are all modified versions, mostly by directly adding crab roe into the fish belly.” Adrian said, “This not only keeps the selling point of Yellow Croaker in Soup but also saves costs.”
“Although the cost of crab roe is not low, it is significantly lower compared to the original broth ingredients, and the requirements for the chef’s skills are also not as high.” Adrian said.
