Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 551 - Ships from All Directions
"What? You guys wanna pack up and come over to get some food?"

Captain Wu received a call from Captain Wei and looked at Wang Fan after hearing what the other party said.

The things all belong to Boss Wang, and I can't make decisions for him.

Wang Fan said, "No problem, just let's make it clear in advance. The grilled fish skin is not cheap, 200 yuan a portion. The fish balls are cheaper, 50 yuan a portion."

The price he set was really not cheap, so naturally he had to discuss it with others in advance, so that when they came over later they would not complain that it was too expensive.

Captain Wu released his hand from the phone and said, "Old Wei, Boss Wang agreed to your coming, but we need to agree on the price in advance, so you don't complain when you arrive. The grilled grouper skin we caught last night is 300 yuan per portion, and the fish balls are 70 yuan. Please tell your boss in advance. We haven't set the hook yet, so if you agree, just come over. Okay, that's it. I'm hanging up now."

Wang Fan looked at Captain Wu in confusion. The price he quoted seemed different from the one he quoted.

Even if you want to act as a middleman and make a profit from the price difference, you can't say it in front of the person involved, right?
Captain Wu put down the phone and explained to Wang Fan, "Boss Wang, you may not have been out fishing much and don't know the market here. For example, the grouper you caught is sold for about 35 yuan per catty on the shore, but restaurants usually charge to yuan per catty. Moreover, the most valuable part of the grouper is the skin. The skin peeled off and dried from a grouper weighing to kilograms can sometimes be sold for to yuan per catty, but there is no market for it.

Fresh fish are cheaper, but wild-caught fish won't be much cheaper. Your portion of fish skin weighs at least a pound and a half, so 200 is way too cheap. I haven't seen the fish balls, but I'm guessing your price is still too low, so I gave you the market price, and they're still not making any money."

Wang Fan finally understood what Captain Wu meant. He was worried that he would lose money. But what made him laugh and cry was that if he scared away all the customers, it would be a bit of a loss.

According to the system pricing, the cost of this fish is 30 yuan, and his price is at the lower limit of the system pricing. Captain Wu's wave directly hits the middle line.

But since he was so kind, he couldn't say anything. "Thank you, Captain Wu."

Captain Wu patted his chest and said complacently, "Don't worry, Boss Wang. I know the price of everything in this sea, and I will never let you lose money."

The people on Captain Wei's boat are all knowledgeable. After all, they are all veterans. Even if a novice doesn't understand, the experienced angler next to him will explain the value of this thing to him.

Besides, I spent more than 10,000 yuan to charter a boat to drift on the sea, so I might as well spend 200 yuan to satisfy my hunger.

Lao Pi was very happy at this time. He quickly pulled up his fishing hook. Unexpectedly, he got an unexpected reward, a squid that was more than one and a half meters long.

This thing is not valuable in the deep sea. I originally wanted to throw it away, but then I remembered that there was a gourmet boss on the opposite ship, and this thing might be of some use.

Lao Pi clenched his fist and punched the squid on the head with a "bang". The squid's body, which originally looked a little red, turned pure white almost in an instant.

The two boats were getting closer and closer. Wang Fan had already put new grouper skin on the grill, and the fish balls had now reached the best cooking temperature.

The two ships were getting closer and closer. When they collided, the tires hanging on both sides of the ship became the best buffer. After Captain Wu and Captain Wei waited until the ships were close to each other, they used a rope as thick as their arms to firmly fix the two ships together.

After so many years of sea fishing, the number of times two sea fishing boats come together is really few and far between. For these anglers, this is also a very novel experience.

But it was only a novelty for a moment and I lost interest in it because the aroma of the fish was much fresher than this matter.

Although the smell is the same when you smell it from a distance of one or two hundred meters and when you stand in front of it, it is equivalent to the difference between 1 gram of TNT and 1 ton of TNT. The impact caused is completely incomparable.

Especially when you see the fish skin bubbling with oil on the grill and hear the sizzling sound when it is cooked, it is a three-dimensional bombardment of vision, hearing and smell from land, sea and air!
No one can resist such temptation!
Lao Pi screamed wildly in his heart.

Old Jack has his head in his hands. He has lived in the Fog City for twenty years. There are many delicious foods in the Fog City, but the aroma of the seasonings he smells the most is the aroma of peppercorns and chili peppers. Under the bombardment of the aroma of lethal doses of peppercorns and chili peppers, the impact of the fragrance of the ingredients themselves is really limited.

But the fish skin grilled by the young man in front of him was the most pure ingredient with a delicious taste. That simple yet extremely delicious taste really made him feel intoxicated.

Moreover, the originally black fish skin was slightly charred after being roasted, and it looked very appetizing under a thin layer of oil.

These 300 yuan must be spent!
Lao Pi came up with the squid he had just caught and said to Wang Fan with a smile, "Boss Wang, I've heard a lot about you. I've been following you for two months. I didn't expect to meet you here. What a fate."

He handed over the squid and said, "I caught this when I was reeling in the line. It must have known I was going to meet you, so it couldn't wait to bite the hook. After all, only when the food is in your hands, Boss Wang, can it play its greatest value and reach a height that it shouldn't have."

Lao Pi is a member of the management of a state-owned enterprise. Lao Pi is a nickname, not a real name. It is just like a pen name. He has been working in state-owned enterprises for so many years, and he has his own way of speaking and doing things. Wang Fan felt very embarrassed after hearing his compliments.

However, Wang Fan never accepts free things, he insists on paying for them.

Lao Pi insisted on giving it away for free, after all, this thing was really worthless.

Finally, seeing that Wang Fan was very determined, he didn't want to waste everyone's time on this matter, so he sold it to Wang Fan at the market price of 20 yuan per catty.

You don’t have to pay for it, you can just deduct it from the money you spend on shopping. I was able to deduct 100 yuan for almost five kilograms, which can be considered as recycling.

While the two were arguing, the fish skin had already been roasted. The rich and delicious aroma filled every corner of the boat, making everyone on the boat swallow their saliva.

Wang Fan didn't let them wait too long. He just put the roasted fish skin on the plate and served it. The weight of the fish skin was measured after it was cut, and the error was basically small. Whoever liked the piece could just take the plate and eat it.

Old Pi and Old Jack paid the bill, picked up a plate that was closer to them, held the plate close to their nose and took a deep breath, and the aroma that was enough to make people dream finally filled their nostrils.

Both of them held their breath, letting the delicious aroma linger in their nostrils. If they really couldn't hold it any longer, neither of them would have been willing to exhale.

"Toothbrush, holy crap, this smells so good!!"

Old Jack spoke in an authentic dialect, his words full of praise for the grilled fish.

A palm-sized piece of grilled fish skin weighs more than one kilogram, which is definitely enough for lunch. If that is not enough, there is a big bowl of fish balls waiting for him to enjoy.

Once you get used to the taste of a place, you will feel a little uncomfortable when eating food from other places. Especially if you are used to strong flavors and then eat light flavors, you will feel that the food has no taste at all. However, grilled fish skin is obviously not one of them.

The reason why it is killed at night and grilled during the day is because Wang Fan marinated it and hung it up to air-dry overnight, just like air-dried oil edges. Not only does it have richer taste variations, but it also allows the marinade to be very thorough, allowing every bit of seasoning to be fully displayed on the taste buds.

Old Jack opened his big bearded mouth and bit off one-third of the meat on the plate. Because he bit too big, a corner of it squeezed out of his mouth.

But old Jack didn't care. He just felt like he had been hungry for a century.

Fortunately, the fish skin was baked very soft and tender, and it was not difficult to chew, otherwise he would have choked to death. No one among the more than ten people present laughed at him. After all, who would laugh at who?

Fishing by the river may cultivate one's sentiments, but sea fishing requires skills. When you are fishing with passion, you may not notice it, but once you stop, the hunger will rush up uncontrollably.

When eating the grilled fish that Wang Fan prepared with great care and roasted slowly over low heat, it is understandable that it looks a bit ugly when eaten.

Shen Teng was more relaxed because he had just finished a piece of grilled fish and was now eating fish balls.

Fish balls are made from the freshest grouper meat with a little bit of Fujian five-spice powder, and then cooked with broth. With such a powerful combination, you can imagine how delicious it tastes.

He scooped up a white, round fish ball with a spoon and put it into his mouth. He carefully bit a groove with his teeth before biting it down. The fish ball was so elastic that he was afraid it would burst out of his mouth if he didn't do it this way.

The chewy fish balls have an excellent taste. When chewing, your teeth can fully feel the tender and chewy touch. After chewing, the taste becomes extremely delicate and soft, and the two tastes are transformed without any trace.

The fish balls were equally delicious, especially the five-spice powder, which was the seasoning he was most familiar with. Paired with the delicious deep-sea fish, the broth completely brought out the aroma of the ingredients. With this powerful combination, Shen Teng's taste buds were too lazy to even resist.

"Gudu..."

He took a bite of the fish balls and then a sip of the soup. The sweet and rich aroma of the broth blended perfectly with the deliciousness of the fish balls remaining in his mouth. Every bite was a satisfying taste. Even in the vast ocean, it gave him a comfortable feeling of being in his own bed.

Shen Teng felt that everything around him was no longer important, only the delicious food in his mouth was everything.

Old Jack has fallen into deep self-doubt.

"It's delicious but not spicy enough" is his catchphrase, and he always says this when he goes out to eat. However, the grilled fish he just ate was not even slightly spicy, and the fish balls had no spice at all.

But it was this very taste that made him unable to even utter his own catchphrase.

This is what grilled fish and fish balls should taste like!

"It's well-deserved, well-deserved reputation. Is this the strength of the strongest wild gourmet boss?"

"This grilled fish skin tastes so good! Slightly crispy, soft and sticky, with a thin layer of fish flesh that's a little chewy! It's absolutely delicious!"

"The fish balls are also very delicious, especially the soup. The flavor is so rich that I feel warm all over after just one sip. If I could eat this kind of food every day when I go fishing, I would rather live on the sea forever."

"If we post this online now, I'm afraid a lot of people will envy us, right?"

"Of course I'm so envious that my eyes are turning green."

"Hehehehe...what are you waiting for?"

A dozen or so fishermen looked at each other with strange smiles, then took out their mobile phones, took a picture of the grill in front of Wang Fan, and posted it to various fishing groups and Weibo.

"What do you mean by unstoppable luck? I just caught a big golden spear and I ran into Boss Wang. This grilled grouper skin is so delicious. Brothers, don't be jealous, hahaha!"

"Boss Wang's grilled grouper skin is not cheap at 300 yuan per portion, but compared to the taste, 3000 yuan is not expensive."

"With Boss Wang's restaurant on the sea, I feel full of energy. I will definitely return with a great harvest this time!"

This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. When people in the nearby waters saw what was on Wang Fan's grill and the fish balls that someone had distributed, and then looked at the self-heating hot pot in their hands, they could no longer sit still.

It's the same 150 nautical miles, so why do you have fragrant grilled fish and sweet fish balls while we can only eat self-heating hot pot and chew bread?

"Captain, move the ship closer to Boss Wang's coordinates."

"That's right, we want grilled fish and fish balls too. We've already agreed on this. Now, immediately, head towards Boss Wang at full speed!"

"If there really is 'one piece' on the sea, if there really is 'all blue', then that must be the sea area where Boss Wang is. Brothers, move forward at full speed."

Except for a few who do it for money, most people who like sea fishing like to have fun and enjoy the thrill.

It would be very interesting to think about chasing and intercepting Boss Wang at sea to buy delicious food!
Participate, you must participate.

Captain Wu's phone almost exploded. All the captains were asking for his specific coordinates. After getting Wang Fan's consent, Captain Wu quickly sent out the coordinates.

The people on Captain Wei's ship, who had eaten and drunk their fill, gave Captain Wei a death order - this time, even if they had no chance of survival, they had to follow Boss Wang's ship closely.

It’s okay if you can’t catch any fish, but you will die if you can’t eat the delicious food made by Boss Wang!
Before leaving, Lao Pi went to find Wang Fan. His circle of friends was buzzing with requests, all asking him to invite Wang Fan to the Fog City to play and set up a stall.

Wang Fan was very happy when he saw those messages, and he actually agreed to let Lao Pi go to the Fog City as the next stop.

He himself also planned to go to the Fog City, but originally planned to travel from Jiangxi to Hunan and then to the Fog City. However, in response to Lao Pi's cordial invitation and his curiosity about the Fog City, he finally decided to go straight to the Fog City as soon as he got ashore.

After all, the "8D Magic City" and "Yellow Ferrari" are famous, and he really wants to go and see them.

However, what he wanted to see most was not the most popular Hongyadong, but an inconspicuous subway.

He had seen this subway many times on the Internet. It was not only full of life, but also full of human touch.

In particular, the official's domineering response to the complaint: "If you can carry a briefcase, you can definitely carry a backpack." made him feel very favorable towards this place.

It’s decided, the next stop is the foggy city.
