Lucky Fish 71

Chapter 71: New Inducer

 

Although the culinary skills of the Zheng Pei Qi trio were not as good as Yu Jin Li's, under his guidance, they were very proficient in handling the ingredients.

With the help of his three good assistants, Yu Jin Li completed lunch very quickly, and soon finished most of the dishes. Squirrel mandarin fish is a famous local specialty of the Jiangsu Province with a more troublesome preparation method, so Yu Jin Li left it for last.

At this time, the dishes that the Zheng Pei Qi trio was responsible for were almost finished, so they all gathered around Yu Jin Li to see how he made the fish new dish.

When the name of the Squirrel Mandarin Fish was first mentioned, Zheng Pei Qi and the others were excited because it meant that they could learn a new dish once again.

“Young mistress, what ingredients do you need to prepare?" Zheng Pei Qi asked.

“Fish, dried starch, tomato sauce, fresh water, sugar, balsamic vinegar, wine, salt, minced garlic cloves..." Yu Jin Li listed the ingredients one by one according to the recipe in his memory.

The Zheng Pei Qi trio quickly found all the ingredients they needed according to the list, and placed them within reach.

“This dish is more troublesome, so I'll make it myself. You can just watch carefully." Yu Jin Li said to the three.

This has already become a tacit understanding between them. Every time Yu Jin Li is cooking, the three of them will observe and study next to him. Yu Jin Li occasionally instructs something that needs attention.

"Yes." The Zheng Pei Qi trio immediately corrected their attitudes and looked at him very seriously, striving to be able to learn in one go without causing trouble to their young mistress.

Yu Jin Li chose a fish that is unique in this world, the scale fish. This fish is similar to the mandarin fish on Earth, and it is just right to make Squirrel Mandarin Fish.

Yu Jin Li easily and quickly removed the scales and gills, cut out the viscera, and washed and drained the fish, before washing the other various ingredients. Holding onto the fish body, Yu Jin Li cut off the fish’s head, then while pressing on the fish’s body, he used a knife to slice against the bone, turned it over and slice another piece of flesh, and then slice off the tricky meat on the belly of the fish.

This series of movements was very neat and clean. The observing Zheng Pei Qi trio were staring, their worship of Yu Jin Li rose to a whole new level.

"When you fillet the fish here, don't open the tail, or you won't be able to shape it later when you cook it." Yu Jin Li told the three of the things that they needed to pay attention to while making the dish.

After all of the fish were sliced, a well-mixed marinate of cooking wine and refined salt was wiped on the fish’s head and meat respectively, then rolled in some dry starch, before holding on to the fish’s tail and shaking off the excess flour. At this point, the dish is basically half done.

 

Next, Yu Jin Li pours the prepared boiling oil onto the fish from top to bottom, then puts two pieces of fin and tail into an oiled pan for a little crispy searing, before adding the rest of the fish in the pan for frying. Once it is golden brown, he put it on a plate.

"Finally, the fish’s head will also be fried until golden brown. When the fish is put in the pan, press it down with the chopsticks. That way, it will be easier to fry." Yu Jin Li continued.

"Okay." The Zheng Pei Qi trio looked at the action in front of them very carefully, and silently wrote down the steps in their hearts, and also noted the precautions together, ready to practice them later.

After everything was fried, Yu Jin Li assembled the fish’s head and meat into the shape of a whole fish, and made its head and tail tilted up. The presentation is very beautiful, and the fragrance in the air is constantly tempting people’s taste buds.

“Young Mistress, is this done? It looks really good." Zhao Fei couldn't help but exclaimed.

Such a good-looking dish, even if they couldn’t eat it, they could still visually enjoy it, not to mention that just looking is enough to make people drool.

“There’s still the last step." Yu Jin Li said with a smile as he put the tomato sauce into a bowl, add fresh water, sugar, balsamic vinegar, wine, soy sauce, and wet starch to mix into a sauce. Using the oil still left in the pan, he cooks the sauce with some fragrant green onions, minced garlic cloves, diced bamboo shoots, diced shiitake mushrooms, peas, and shrimps. Once the sauce has thickened over high heat, sesame oil is drizzles in, and just let it finish cooking.

“Look, this is the last step, and also a very important step." Yu Jin Li said as he poured all the sauce in the pan onto the fish that had been set aside before.

When the hot sauce comes into contact with the fish, it makes a "squeaking" sound, just like a real little squirrel, so this dish is called Squirrel Mandarin Fish.

Once the Squirrel Mandarin Fish is finished, lunch was ready. Yu Jin Li felt a sense of accomplishment seeing the table full of dishes. This is the first time he has cooked so many dishes since he came to this world. Just looking at it, he felt very fulfilled.

The members of the Sacred Beasts Team who have been waiting in the dinning room, were looking towards the kitchen every few minutes. Had the boss not been there, they wouldn’t be able to hold back from running into the kitchen to see what smelled so good.

Originally, the members of the Sacred Beasts Team had been reporting to Jiang Mo Sheng on the recent events of the military department on the second floor, but suddenly, a strong fragrance floated in.

Several of them are ability users, with exceptionally keen sense of smell. After smelling this tempting fragrance, they endured and endured, but finally couldn't hold themselves back.

“It's so fragrant, where is this smell coming from?" Bai Hu shrugged his nose, took a deep breath, and inhaled the fragrance in the air into his lungs, carefully savoring the aftertaste.

Other people also revealed more or less the same look as him, looking like they were enjoying it, and wanted to find the source of the fragrance.

Jiang Mo Sheng instantly knew what was going on the moment he smelled it. Seeing his subordinates all look like this, he actually didn't get angry.

Originally, the little guy had been cooking all the meals for him, but this time, his meal just happens to be snatched by these seven people. They were personally invited to stay for lunch by the little guy, so even if he now wants to take their lunch away, it was too late.

The thought of someone else wanting to eat the delicious dishes made by the little guy, especially just when he found out that little guy had finished cooking, caused a series of sour bubbles to pop up in Jiang Mo Sheng's heart.

“Continued.” Jiang Mo Sheng said with a dark face and a cold voice.

Bai Hu immediately sat upright, trying to divert his attention from the fragrance, and tried to continue to report the news from the military to the boss in front of him. But that fragrance was so special, he had never smelled a scent that could be so alluring.

Obviously, they have all gone through various anti-seduction training, let alone just a smell, even if it is a gorgeous and delectable beauty in front of them, they can all be able remain expressionless. How can they be bewitched by this smell?

 

Suddenly, alarm bells rang in their hearts. Is this a new kind of inducer developed by someone? Can it confuse people?

 

The expressions of all the seven members of the Sacred Best Team immediately became serious and guarded, trying to hold their breath, not letting themselves smell the scent in fear of being tempted. However, they forgot that this was actually the Jiang family home, not the military department, and certainly not a mission location. Nowhere would an enemy dare to enter the Jiang family to tempt them.

 

Seeing the expressions of each of his subordinates, Jiang Mo Sheng did not know what they were thinking, but he was once again reminded that the anti-seduction trainings for these people were clearly not enough. Just a dish can divert their attention so easily. Fortunately, this was the Jiang's family home and not a mission, otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.

“You can't even resist against this small temptation, go back and continue to do seduction resistance training," Jiang Mo Sheng said solemnly and coldly.

“Yes,” the seven answered immediately, thinking, is it really a new seduction agent? When they thought of being a member of the most elite team in the military, yet they couldn't resist even a simple temptation agent, their faces were hot and they secretly decided that they must strengthen their training after returning, so not to shame the boss or the Sacred Beast Team.

“Follow me.” Jiang Mo Sheng said lightly.

Such a strong fragrance means that the little guy is probably almost done. He should go down and have a look.

 

He can't let these people come to the house in the future. If the little guy decides to entertain every time there’s guests, wouldn't it make the little guy tired?

 

The members of the Sacred Beast team didn’t know that, as of this moment, they are already on the boss's blacklist. It seemed that it will be difficult for them to come over and eat in the future.

 

The more they descend the stairs, the more intense the fragrance becomes, and they can't help but want to smell more. Not only that, but for some reason, their stomach, which was clearly not too hungry a moment ago, actually started groaning, and their mouth began to secrete saliva. They can't help but want to eat.

It was the first time that the members of the Sacred Beasts team had such an experience, and it was even scarier than an enemy.

If it's just a normal temptation agent, then they would not be afraid. However, not only can they not resist this particular temptation agent, but it also triggered other physical reactions. Even if they can’t resist, for them to totally lose face and drools, can they bear it?

At this moment, the Sacred Beasts team regretted staying for lunch. They should go back early, otherwise it would be too embarrassing to wait until their drool came out.

Qiao Mu Lan, who was sitting on the sofa waiting for the meal, saw Jiang Mo Sheng and others come down, and immediately greeted them warmly.

“Good afternoon, Madam,” The seven respectfully greeted Qiao Mu Lan.

“Come and sit down, lunch will be ready in a while. You all can have a good meal today, Little Chestnut have cooked it himself.” Qiao Mu Lan smiled and said to the members of the Sacred Beast team, her tone was proud, and the seven people were a little surprised. They looked at the kitchen involuntarily, and then found that the scent seemed to be emitted from the kitchen, which became more and more intense, very alluring.

The seven looked at each other, and they all found doubts in each other's eyes.

Even if there is an inducer agent, it is generally not put in the kitchen. After all, the kitchen is a place for cooking and cannot allow such unsavory things to enter. Then what are these scents that can increase people’s appetite?

 

For the members of the Sacred Beasts team to become elite soldiers, their thinking ability is naturally not low. They quickly thought of a possibility, but they couldn’t believe it.

They have all eaten natural foods, but it has never given off such a tempting fragrance.
