If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

As soon as Qian Wenjie said this...

The once bustling beach instantly fell silent.

"Wenjie, don't make me laugh."

Uncle Lin pushed up his glasses, looking doubtful.

"Who in their right mind rides a shark?"

"that is!"

The others also looked on in disbelief.

"Isn't this a really weird fetish?"

"..."

Why would I tease you?

Qian Wenjie was also anxious and said helplessly.

"Master Su can not only ride sharks, he can also ride sharks to the deep sea to harvest seafood."

"Seafood scooping?"

Aunt Liu crossed her arms and chuckled.

"He went into the sea to retrieve it all by himself? That's incredible! Who does he think he is? Some kind of aquaman?"

These are experienced old fishermen.

Which fishing operation doesn't rely on fishing boats and nets to go deep into the sea?

This guy is called Master Su.

He rode off on a shark?

Is this a cosplay of Zhuang Zhou?

Who in their right mind would believe such nonsense?

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Exactly!"

Qian Dahai also came to his senses and patted Qian Wenjie's shoulder hard.

His tone carried a hint of disdain typical of the older generation.

"Wenjie, it's understandable that young people get brainwashed by internet celebrities."

"But you can't make up such lies for your father!"

"You see how easily your dad is fooled, don't you?"

"I didn't make that up!"

Qian Wenjie was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

"Take a look around you yourselves."

"If it weren't for Chef Su's excellent cooking skills, could Orange Island have transformed from a deserted island into what it is today?"

He pointed to the infrastructure on the beach.

"Look, the construction team hauled all of this overnight!"

"Uncle and Aunt, I can vouch for it, it's true."

Chen Feng also happily chimed in from the side.

"We've stayed here for several days, eating Chef Su's seafood every day, and our palates have become quite discerning!"

"Yes, yes! Qian Wenjie said he can't eat seafood when he goes back to the city!"

"???"

Qian Dahai and Uncle Lin exchanged a glance.

Their expressions all carried the same suspicion.

Did an internet celebrity drive the development of an entire island?

And they've spoiled their children's palates!

How is that possible?!

Qian Wenjie grew up eating their cooking.

Hasn't his palate been spoiled long ago?

"Really?"

A middle-aged man with a small braid stepped forward.

He is Qian Dahai's long-time partner and a renowned sea fishing champion.

"I've lived for over 50 years, and this is the first time I've ever heard of someone single-handedly turning a deserted island into a tourist attraction."

Old Yu glanced at Qian Wenjie, giving him a look as if he were an idiot.

"Wenjie, although your uncle isn't very educated, I still have my brains."

"That's right, Wenjie, what you're saying is too far-fetched."

Uncle Lin nodded in agreement.

"Even if he's incredibly skilled, he couldn't possibly be so skilled that he'd attract an engineering team to the island for development, could he?"

"Exactly!"

Aunt Liu shook her head directly.

"I've been preparing state banquets for over thirty years, and I've seen at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, good chefs."

"I've never heard of anything so mysterious!"

She said.

He pointed to the construction vehicles in the distance and the pier under construction.

"Look at this setup, could it have been done without approval and planning from the relevant departments?"

"You're telling me that a young internet celebrity running a street stall can handle all of this?"

"Isn't this ridiculous?"

"..."

Qian Wenjie opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know where to begin explaining.

These elders were there to support him.

Let's leave aside other things.

Tell me, isn't this support really effective?

Spray it on the kids too!

"Hi!"

Qian Wenjie sighed.

This is a mess.

He can only blame himself for not expecting things to turn out this way.

"Uncle and Auntie!"

Seeing that they could argue for a long time with just one sentence each, Chen Feng quickly spoke up.

"Since you're already here, why don't you order some dishes and try them first? You can draw your conclusions after you've tasted them."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Qian Wenjie suddenly realized what was happening and quickly backed down.

"Dad, Uncle Lin, Aunt Liu, Uncle, you guys eat first. You'll see I wasn't lying to you once you've eaten!"

"Eat? Of course we have to eat!"

Uncle Lin and the others nodded.

"That guy, what's his name, Master Su? He's so arrogant, we have to teach him a lesson!"

"That's right, that's right!"

"We can't let him continue to mislead you young people!"

"Lead the way!"

"..."

Qian Dahai wanted to add a few more criticisms.

But then, his nose twitched involuntarily.

An extremely strong aroma of garlic wafted over from the direction of the food truck.

The oysters on the grill were still bubbling and popping.

It rolled and tumbled, constantly churning with the heat waves.

Oil was boiling in the iron pot next to it.

The crab legs were moving up and down inside.

Wisps of white steam escaped from the gaps in the steamer.

It exudes an extremely rich ocean scent.

"hiss!"

Qian Dahai's throat bobbed up and down.

It smells quite appetizing.

"Come on, let's try some."

He spoke of it casually.

But my pace had already quickened involuntarily.

Uncle Lin, Aunt Liu, and several of his old friends followed behind him.

A group of more than a dozen people marched in to the dining car.

The menu on the ordering screen is clear and easy to understand.

Qian Dahai curiously moved closer.

He was about to offer his opinions on the state of affairs when the words caught in his throat.

"Good heavens, am I seeing things?"

He stared wide-eyed at the scrolling menu.

Braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce, 88 yuan per serving.

Steamed sea urchin with egg, 38 yuan per serving.

[Stewed chicken with fish maw, 68 yuan per serving.]

Baked King Crab Legs with Cheese, NT$58 per serving.

Spicy stir-fried whelks, 45 yuan per serving.

Seafood porridge, 28 yuan/small portion, 48 yuan/large portion.

Stir-fried clams with soy sauce, 25 yuan per serving.

Coconut jelly, 18 yuan per serving.

【……】

"???"

Qian Dahai gasped.

He's been running a seafood stall in the city for so many years

What price range of menus haven't I seen before?

But I've never seen a price like Su Yun's before.

This is way too cheap!

Braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce for only 88 yuan?

You know, any random hotel outside would dare to charge 380!

And this steamed seafood egg is only 38 yuan?

Do you remember Uncle Lin's Michelin-starred restaurant? He dared to charge almost 200 for just three slices of sea urchin roe sashimi!

As for the fish maw stewed chicken for 68 yuan, I simply can't even dream of it.

This price is in Qian Dahai's own store.

We couldn't even order a cold dish.

"My goodness! Compared to them, my shop is practically a rip-off!"

Qian Dahai murmured something unconsciously.

"Wait, is this price for real?"

Aunt Liu leaned over for a look and frowned.

She's been preparing state banquets for decades, so she knows the cost of ingredients all too well.

The raw materials alone, as shown in the menu, cost more than this much.

The cost for this young man to set up his stall in a place like this must be very high.

As a result, he only accepted this small amount of money.

What picture?

Do you do charity?

"It's so cheap!"

My uncle also came over to take a look, his expression quite disdainful.

"At such a low price, how good can the ingredients be?"

"Most likely it's just some frozen stuff that's been put together."

"Of course!"

"Can non-frozen goods sell for this price?"

"......"

The uncle looked at Qian Wenjie, his tone filled with disappointment and disappointment.

Qian Wenjie was being groomed by their seafood family as their successor!

And yet, this is the place where they eat this stuff!

Isn't this embarrassing for him?

"Wenjie, your uncle has been fishing all his life. I know best what's in the sea and what it looks like."

The uncle said,

"Good seafood is never cheap. If he's selling it at this price, he's either selling nostalgia or selling fakes."

"Uncle!"

Qian Wenjie immediately became anxious, "Master Su's ingredients are all freshly caught by himself from the sea, which is why they are cheap."

"I saw him riding a shark yesterday, bringing back a basket of live abalone."

"Abalone? They actually ride sharks to catch abalone?"

My uncle burst out laughing.

"Have you been spending too much time on TikTok?"

"Abalone live in the crevices of rocks in the deep sea!"

"Even if he rode a shark, how could he dive into the sea to retrieve it?"

"Exactly!"

A middle-aged man wearing a fisherman's hat next to him also smiled and shook his head.

"Wenjie, your uncle has been at sea for over 30 years, and I've never seen anything like this before!"

"We didn't argue with you when you said someone rode a shark! But you can't try to fool us like this."

"Yeah yeah!"

"You've been playing too many games, haven't you?"

"Young people are a bit immature, it's normal!"

"..."

Everyone burst into laughter, chatting and laughing.

"son!"

Qian Dahai patted Qian Wenjie on the shoulder and said earnestly.

"Dad knows you want to make your dad proud, but we can't just make up stories like this."

"Your father may be old, but he's not stupid."

"What on earth is all this?"

Qian Wenjie's face turned red with anxiety.

"I'm not making this up, Dad. Just order some food and you'll see."

"Alright, alright, I'll try it. I'm really hungry."

Qian Dahai waved his hand and turned to the screen on the food cart.

"Then give me a plate of braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce. I want to see what kind of dish this 88-yuan sea cucumber can be made into."

"Then I'll have a sea urchin steamed egg, to save some money."

Uncle Lin paid the money in no time.

"One serving of fish maw and chicken stew, please."

Aunt Liu snatched Uncle Lin's phone and paid for herself as well.

"Then I'll have the baked king crab leg with cheese. I've been fishing all my life, and I've never had crab legs prepared this way before."

My uncle was very decisive when ordering food.

They may complain, but they take food very seriously.

Since you're going to stand up for your son.

How can you criticize it without tasting it carefully?

The others also ordered food.

"Received payment via Alipay..."

"Payment received via WeChat..."

"......"

The order notification popped up, and the payment information flashed quickly across the screen.

Su Yun glanced at the order list.

He turned around and started taking ingredients out of the food cart.

In reality, it was taken from a treasure chest.

This scoop.

The expressions of Qian Dahai and the others immediately changed.

Su Yun took out a live sea cucumber from the cabinet, which was bigger than their faces.

"Holy crap!"

Qian Dahai was startled.

Sea cucumbers are like big iron rods.

Not only was it covered in fleshy spikes, but its fat and thick body was also constantly wriggling.

"It's actually alive?!"

Qian Dahai took a closer look, and almost dropped the cigarette from his mouth.

"Wow, it's huge!"

"I can't stand it!"

Qian Dahai has handled countless types of seafood.

But I've never seen a live sea cucumber this big before!

Even more outrageous is...

"Where did this young man just pull that out from?"

Qian Dahai stood on tiptoe and peeked into the food cart.

The space is quite large.

But it was all just a pile of junk.

There was only a small bucket in the very corner, filled with murky seawater.

Qian Dahai: "?"

He immediately fell silent.

That's awesome!

How can such a large live sea cucumber be kept in a place like this?

more importantly!

This really isn't frozen stuff!

Did you make a mistake!

The sea cucumbers at Qian Dahai's shop.

They are usually dried goods that have been soaked and rehydrated.

Why?

Because this thing is extremely picky about its living environment!

If the water temperature is even slightly off, I'll kick the bucket.

Ordinary people simply don't have the luck to see one alive.

The others also understood this principle and exchanged glances.

He then scratched his head.

"I have a feeling that this young man only made a slight move."

"I had a bad feeling about this."

"Yes, that's really strange!"

"I knew Orange Isle had something dirty!"

"..."

Su Yun placed the sea cucumber on the cutting board.

Next, use the tip of the knife to continuously move along the belly of the sea cucumber.

In less than half a minute, the sea cucumber's internal organs were cleaned.

The movements were ridiculously fast.

Qian Dahai didn't even have time to take a second look.

"hiss!"

Qian Dahai immediately gasped.

"What a sharp knife!"

His experience means he can spot things at a glance.

The young man's knife skills had clearly amazed him.

The essence of braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce is to blanch it with ginger to remove any fishy smell.

Then simmer it in broth until the sauce thickens, then serve.

Su Yun thought about the actions while taking them.

Then he took a bag of fish maw from the cabinet.

The soaked fish maw has a very golden color and is semi-transparent.

It's unbelievably thick.

"Goodness gracious!!"

Aunt Liu's eyes widened instantly.

To be honest, she's rarely seen fish maw of this quality even in the kitchens of state banquets.

Aunt Liu couldn't resist taking a closer look.

The more I looked, the more alarmed I became.

"The thickness, transparency, and texture of this fish maw are all top-quality!"

She has been in this line of work for over 30 years.

They do have that much insight.

"Where did this fish maw come from?"

Aunt Liu couldn't help but ask.

"I caught it myself."

Without even looking up, Su Yun used the sharp blade to cut the fish maw into even strips.

Da da da da!

The sound was very crisp and swift.

"Did you catch it yourself?"

Aunt Liu was both amazed by his knife skills and surprised.

"Isn't fish maw the swim bladder of a fish? Where did you get it?"

"Exactly, aren't these things only found thousands of meters deep in the ocean?"

"Besides, normal people can't see them either!"

"....."

The others chattered on and on.

Fish maw is a very rare and expensive thing; they usually don't get to eat more than a few pieces.

"You're right, it was fished out of the deep sea."

Su Yun gave a casual reply.

Then put the fish maw into the soup pot, add chicken and a few slices of ham, pour in the broth, and then cover it.

"Who would believe that?"

Aunt Liu's lips twitched, and she turned to look at Qian Wenjie.

I don't even know what to say with my expression.

Is this really the kind of random stall you're talking about?

Are you sure it's some kind of attention-seeking internet celebrity?

This fish maw is amazing!

This proves that their supply channels are absolutely top-notch!

Regardless of the skill level.

At least this thing is presentable enough.

"Aunt Liu, I've already told you."

Qian Wenjie spread his hands with an innocent expression.

"Master Su rode a shark to the deep sea to retrieve it, but you guys don't believe me."

"Can you blame me?"

"???"

Aunt Liu opened her mouth, as if to say something.

But Su Yun's next move shut her up again.

Su Yun then took out a plate of prepared sea urchin roe from the cabinet.

The colors are very vibrant, and each one is plump and full.

Lying in crushed ice.

It trembled with each movement of Su Yun.

Everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.

The sea urchin is huge and looks very fresh.

"This steamed sea urchin with egg is served in a whole sea urchin shell."

As Su Yun spoke, she scooped up a spoonful of the prepared egg mixture.

Then pour it into the sea urchin shell and place it in a steamer.

It was finished in the blink of an eye.

"So fast?"

Uncle Lin was extremely surprised.

He was standing to the side of Su Ming at that moment.

They were so close they could see every movement of Su Yun's hands.

He has been a Michelin three-star chef for over twenty years.

The way he prepared seafood was completely different from Su Yun's.

In his past experience, the higher the quality of the ingredients...

The more complicated and tedious it is to handle, the more complicated and cumbersome it becomes.

Take sea cucumbers for example, they need to be soaked for at least three or four days in advance, right?

Fish maw needs to be soaked in water for a day and a night.

Abalone needs to be repeatedly scrubbed and stewed for more than ten hours to absorb the flavor.

Not even one step off!

But what about Su Yun?

The sea cucumbers were thrown directly into the pot as soon as they were taken out of the water.

The whole thing didn't even take a minute.

After the fish maw was cut and put into the soup pot, the fish maw itself didn't even realize what was happening.

As for steamed sea urchin with egg.

Once the egg mixture is poured into the sea urchin shell, it is placed in the steamer.

This action was incredibly careless.

If it weren't for the fact that Su Yun naturally exudes an air of profound mystery...

Uncle Lin would definitely curse if he saw this.

This completely contradicts his understanding of cooking logic!

"Don't you need to soak this fish maw first, bro?"

Uncle Lin couldn't help but ask.
