Chapter 158： fishy smell

Chapter 158 The smell of fish is overflowing

Wang Zhuangzhi explained in embarrassment that there was no fish basket, and the waiter in the shop heard that he was not wrong, so he ran to talk to the shopkeeper.

Because there was a red fish on the table, people eating nearby looked at the father and daughter with strange eyes.

Even the shopkeeper brought by Xiao Er thought he was looking for trouble, and asked with a frown, "Guest officer, what do you mean? No one buys a fish and brings it in for dinner."

Just as Wang Zhuangzhi was about to explain, Jiaojiao said softly, "Uncle, we brought this fish from far away, and we didn't buy it here. We don't have fish baskets, so can we cook it here?" familiar?"

When the shopkeeper heard about it, he refused without thinking, "No, it's not our restaurant's stuff, we don't do it."

If someone who is looking for trouble puts poison in the fish and they bring it into the back kitchen to cook it for people to eat, wouldn't it be a murder case.

Wang Zhuangzhi thought it was troublesome, looked at his daughter's eager eyes, and said, "Shopkeeper, we really don't have a place to put it. We can pay the processing fee if we are familiar with it. You can decide how much."

"Cook it for him quickly, it's scary to have a raw fish here."

"That's right, I don't even want to eat when I smell fishy."

The guests also said one after another.

The shopkeeper looked a bit embarrassed, after all, the father and daughter had already taken their seats, and it was hard to drive them out in front of everyone.

Everyone was noisy, and he had no choice but to tell the waiter who came to the store: "Lead them to the back kitchen, and let them taste the first bite when they are done. If there is nothing to do, let them take it out by themselves. What's wrong has nothing to do with the restaurant."

"Yes, the shopkeeper."

Just like that, Wang Zhuangzhi followed Jiaojiao to the back kitchen with his arms in his arms.

The cook had never seen this kind of fish before, and he didn't dare to mess with it, so he simply stewed it.

However, it is such a simple stew without any fragrant condiments, which stimulates the fresh fragrance of the fish itself, and the whole back kitchen is full of fish fragrance.

Even the diners in the restaurant could smell the faint fragrance, and looked left and right to find it.

"Oh, what is this smell, it smells really good."

"I smell like fish, but it tastes so delicious, and it tastes so delicious."

Everyone shouted to the shopkeeper and asked if there was any new product.

The shopkeeper was also confused, and hurried to the back kitchen to check the situation.

The further you go to the back kitchen, the stronger the aroma becomes, and the shopkeeper even swallowed his saliva.

As soon as you enter the back kitchen door, you will be greeted by the strong smell of fish. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, thinking that the chefs have prepared a new cuisine, and excitedly ran forward to check.

As a result, when he walked over, he saw the father and daughter eating fish, surrounded by a few cooks watching eagerly.

The shopkeeper looked at the fish on the plate of the father and daughter, and then realized that the smell of fish came from them.

As if he smelled some business opportunity, he hurriedly walked forward with a smile, and said politely to Wang Zhuangzhi: "My dear guest, are you satisfied with your meal?"

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded and smiled, "That's right, I put too much seasoning when I ate it at home. I can only eat it to see that the meat is firm, but I don't want it to be so delicious when steamed. Thank you, the shopkeeper and your chef."

Hearing about the shopkeeper, he keenly grasped the word "family", and then smiled and approached to inquire: "Look at you, you are white and cute. As the saying goes, you eat fish to support people. Could it be that your family is in the fishery business?"

Wang Zhuangzhi is not an idiot, Dang even understood what the shopkeeper meant, nodded and smiled and said: "Fishery can't be called, it's just a small pond."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up immediately, "Is this fish in your hand raised by yourself?"

"yes."

Wang Zhuangzhi nodded as he spoke, picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, the meat was firm and tender, he put it into his mouth and ate it deliciously.

The shopkeeper looked at the tender white meat, his nasal cavity was filled with fresh fragrance, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "This strong man, can you take out half of your fish? I'll pay five liang of silver. If our boss eats well, I will buy from you in the future, and you will have an extra business."

Wang Zhuangzhi was very excited when he heard that, and just about to nod, Jiaojiao suddenly said in a waxy voice: "Uncle, we still have a fish in the car, let's sell you that one."

The shopkeeper's face showed joy when he heard the words, and he was worried that the owner would think it would be bad luck because he got half of other people's fish, so he heard the girl say that there was another one.

Hastily took out a twelve tael ingot from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zhuangzhi, and said with a smile, "That's great, then I'll buy that one."

Wang Zhuangzhi took the ten taels of silver in a daze, and his head was a little dazed. Be good, a fish sells for ten taels of silver.

"Father, you wait here, I'll go get the fish in the car." Jiaojiao said, pulling Dad's hand.

Wang Zhuangzhi hurried back to his senses when he heard about it, and said, "No, Dad doesn't worry about you going alone, so Dad should go, you stay here."

The shopkeeper was worried, afraid that the two of them would run away, so he said, "Stay here, strong man, and I will accompany the little girl to fetch fish."

Wang Zhuangzhi hesitated for a moment, thinking that the shopkeeper of such a big store should be credible, so he nodded in agreement.

…

The shopkeeper took Jiaojiao out, and he waited by the carriage. Jiaojiao got into the carriage and entered the space again. After thinking about it, he took out two this time.

Then he stepped out of the carriage and said in a waxy voice from the shopkeeper, "Uncle, I was wrong just now, there are two in the carriage."

The shopkeeper never doubted the words of a little girl, and when he heard the two, he was even more pleased, "It's not a problem, I'll buy the extra ones too."

It’s good to have more, one steamed and one braised, just let the owner try the taste.

…

The father and daughter of the shopkeeper, An Dun, entered the box upstairs, and served them free big fish and meat, as well as a pot of herbal tea for them to eat and drink.

He sent the fish prepared in the kitchen upstairs for his master to taste.

Meanwhile, on the third floor.

In a box,

A man in a yellow robe is teasing a parrot with feathers. The parrot gets impatient and keeps shouting: "Beauty! Beauty!"

The man in the yellow robe laughed loudly, and said to the man sitting on the other side: "Meng Jun, this little thing, despite the auspicious words I taught it, can call this beauty, you say it's funny or not."

Meng Jun stood up respectfully and replied, "It can make the prince happy, so it's certainly funny."

Hearing this, the man in yellow robe walked over with a smile, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Tell me about you, what kind of dignity do you care about in these places? If you hadn't saved me back then, how could I still be alive? You are better than me!" Two years older, I have long regarded you as my elder brother in my heart, so you don't have to be so restrained."

Meng Jun's handsome and cold face was full of respect, and there was a trace of helplessness between his brows. He said in a deep voice: "I'm just an ordinary person, how dare I call my lord a brother, my lord, don't say that in the future, if anyone who cares about me hears it, I will The head of the project will not be guaranteed."
