Chapter 811: Chapter 354: Dundun: Just Finished Arranging for Aunt, Now My Great-Aunt Is Here—This Cat’s Life Is Too Hard!

"Wow, this drink is amazing, it really cuts through the spiciness!"

Shen Baobao exclaimed, prompting everyone else to sip from their cups of yam juice.

It did indeed alleviate the heat, reducing the scorching sensation left by the spicy flavors on the palate considerably. Drinking it warm, the body felt entirely soothed.

Geng Lele took a sip and also found it impressive:

"Indeed, it feels even better than our Butter Beer."

It was silky smooth to taste, filled with rich aroma, and truly the perfect pairing with spicy crayfish.

Shen Guofu felt a bit disappointed initially for not having his drink.

But upon hearing everyone’s praises, he picked up his cup and took a sip.

Hmm?

Is this... yam?

"Mr. Shen, this is yam juice Lin Xu made for everyone this afternoon. He steamed the Iron Stick yam and then blended it with milk powder and hot water to make a warm beverage. It beautifies for women, and strengthens for men, way better than alcohol."

Iron Stick... yam?

Upon hearing this, Shen Guofu immediately gulped down half a cup.

Whether to drink alcohol doesn’t matter, but if this thing strengthens the body, and is made from Iron Stick yam, then old Shen has to drink until he’s full.

Ahem, whether it’s Iron Stick or not doesn’t matter, mainly he suddenly felt thirsty and wanted something to drink.

Lin Xu finished the fish head in his bowl, saw there’s still some left, and scooped another big spoonful.

He really enjoys eating fish head, whether it’s Chopped Pepper Fish Head, iron pot Fish Head, or Fish Head stew with tofu, he just can’t stop eating.

Compared to other parts of the fish, the fish head is so much more edible.

Some parts are rich in gelatin, some parts have a tough texture, and some parts can even give the sensation of eating fatty meat.

On top of that, removing the bones and slowly picking the meat creates a sense of exploration, getting more satisfying with each bite.

And in this Stewed Catfish Head, the bones in the fish head are already completely removed, allowing generous bites of whatever there is, and this feeling is just so thrilling.

Soon, everyone finished off a large fish head.

Shen Guofu smacked his lips, still wanting more:

"I have to say, this big fish head is really satisfying to eat. I’ll be moving into my new house the day after tomorrow, why not buy a big Hua Lian then and make it again?"

Old Huang scraped the bowl clean of fish soup and said:

"No need to buy anything, I’ll bring two Hua Lians over then, prosperity year after year."

Cui Qingyuan set down his bowl and spoon, picked up a piece of deep-fried fish fillet with chopsticks, tasted it, and said to Old Huang:

"If you’re bringing any, don’t forget to bring a big Grass Carp too. Lin plans to make Braised fish, an old local dish that I haven’t had authentic for years, so I’m looking forward to a good tasting this time."

"Big Grass Carp? No problem. As long as it can be bought on the market and is not illegal, I, old Huang, can bring it to you... Hey Xie, you’re the chef, you tell us, how big should the Hua Lian be?"

There weren’t many people today, one Stewed Catfish Head barely filled us up. More people should attend the housewarming three days from now. A big fish head weighing around ten to twenty pounds won’t be enough.

Xie Baomin helplessly said:

"In a restaurant, the bigger the better, but at home, it doesn’t work. The firepower of home cooking is not enough and no particularly large pot can be used. That Hua Lian downstairs will do... By the way, junior brother, where’s your housewarming banquet going to be held?"

Where will it be held? That’s really a question.

Originally, Lin Xu planned to make a big table of dishes at the new house to properly welcome everyone.

But considering the number of guests, it’s about a hundred people or so.

This many people squeezing into the house would not only be noisy but would also fill the place with the smell of alcohol, whereas eating at a venue is comparatively more convenient.

Then, just in the banquet hall, let everyone enjoy themselves with a meal.

Thinking about this, he said to everyone:

"The new house is spacious, but not spacious enough to host too many people. So, let’s hold it at the venue, just in the banquet hall, where everyone can gather, have a lively meal, that would be perfect."

"Right, I also think it’s better to eat at the venue. Besides being lively, you don’t have to clean up afterward."

"Last time, a friend of mine also moved into a new home, and when cleaning the bottom of the pot, both sprained their backs and ankles, and they even broke a stack of plates."

"A colleague of our teacher, Su, also last month moved into a new home, and a child who attended broke a rare collectible model of the couple’s, ending with an unpleasant conclusion."

Hearing everyone agreeing on eating at the venue, Old Huang sucked on a crayfish, peeled it while saying:

"Then I’ll make the most of buying Hua Lian to ensure everyone eats to their heart’s content."

Actually, it’s not the best time to eat Hua Lian now. When the weather turns cooler in autumn, Hua Lian will eat desperately to increase fat, so from ’Beginning of Autumn’ to ’Minor Snow’ is Hua Lian’s bulking season.

After ’Minor Snow’, Hua Lian will stay at the bottom of the water, and at this time when caught, the fish head will be large and fleshy, tempting people to keep wanting more.

Correlatively, there’s the Grass Carp.

Young Grass Carp is full of bones. As it grows older, the flesh gets tough, but only the Fish Tail part, where the flesh starts growing firmer with age, becomes increasingly tender and firm.

Just like Shen Teng’s description of the goalkeeper: the older, the fiercer!

Zeng Xiaoqi, who was munching on crayfish, curiously asked:

"Hua Lian Head, Grass Carp Tail, then what fish to eat for the middle part of the fish?"

"Bian fish, Bian fish Belly along with Hua Lian Head and Grass Carp Tail are top-grade ingredients, plus there’s Eel back, and with these few quality aquatic ingredients, the meal is basically complete."

Chen Yan immediately suggested upon hearing:

"Since that’s the case, why don’t we gather all four of them the day after tomorrow? Boss Huang, is Bian fish easy to buy?"
