Have you ever seen glowing food? That's why you draw a food-themed anime.

The other people in the shop couldn't help but cover their noses, and some thoughts began to form in their minds.

"Mr. Li, how can such a fishy-smelling dish taste good? Won't it give me diarrhea?"

"What kind of fish did you use?"

"It's mackerel. I bought it last night and froze it, but don't worry... it will definitely taste delicious after we cook it!"

"is it?"

"I bought these last night. You're all regular customers, why would I cheat you?"

Li Yipeng smiled broadly: "I'll make it now, and it'll taste delicious."

I bought a fish that had just died not long ago, but this lousy fish suddenly smelled incredibly fishy after it died.

He was so busy last night!

It took more than a dozen kinds of extremely spicy chili peppers to mask the rotten, fishy smell.

Li Yipeng felt inexplicably guilty, but he also felt that it wasn't his fault.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Other kinds of fish don't smell fishy this quickly even after they die..."

"I don't know what's wrong with this fish."

But surely this problem can't be unique to him, right?

At least his dishes are spicy, so he can fry them and then use chili peppers to cover them up.

But the kid next door prefers light flavors!

Since dead fish are so easy to smell fishy, ​​he didn't believe that the kid's refreshing and sweet fish meat could taste good.

...

At Brother Li's casual dining restaurant, many people covered their noses and began to watch the cooking process.

After simple processing, the fish was chopped into pieces and deep-fried in a pot.

The entire fish was fried until golden brown.

Even after deep-frying, the fishy smell is still there, but it's less pronounced.

Li Yipeng then added several kinds of chili peppers, including Sichuan peppercorns, small red chilies, and regular chilies, as well as more than a dozen spices, to the mixture to infuse it with aroma.

When the chili peppers come into contact with the hot oil, a sizzling, pungent aroma immediately wafts out of the pan.

Even Xu Zhou, who was in the shop next door, could smell the pungent aroma of chili peppers.

"Oh..."

"This chili pepper tastes like it's made with at least four or five different kinds of chili peppers; it smells spicy!"

"Is this to cover up the stench of decay?"

Xu Zhou knew perfectly well what was going on.

Yesterday, while I was learning to cook, Isshiki Satoshi was talking about various types of fish, and he also mentioned the characteristics of mackerel.

Fish in the mackerel family are prone to bacterial growth and even develop a putrid odor because they contain unsaturated fatty acids, have highly active digestive enzymes, and produce mucus.

But if it's only for one night, it shouldn't be enough to cause food poisoning, right?

After all, in his previous world, let alone a whole night, there was even zombie meat.

Xu Zhou didn't go to watch, but instead slowly continued to prepare his ingredients.

Simmer the broth while it's cooking.

Steam the potatoes while they are steaming.

Wang Lulu, who hadn't been outside for several days, also rushed over today.

As soon as he entered, he flashed a big smile at Xu Zhou, his enthusiasm overflowing: "Little boss! One mashed potato rice and meat set meal, please! And one new dish, please!"

"A combo meal of imitation barbecue and fast-food mackerel patty, plus a side of Sichuan peppercorn-roasted mackerel with cabbage puree, right?"

"Correct!"

"Okay, come and get these two light meals first. The imitation barbecue dishes will be quick."

Xu Zhou quickly poured the sauce over the two simple meals and served them directly.

Then, combine the steamed potatoes with black truffle and mushroom filling, onions, spice mix, and black pepper, wrap them in bacon, and bake.

soon.

The aroma of the thick-cut bacon itself, mixed with the scents of potatoes, black truffles, and premium red wine sauce, wafted out and drifted up through the window.

“It smells so good…”

When some customers and technicians at the aromatherapy foot massage parlor smelled this scent, they swallowed hard.

Several customers who hadn't even gone in for a massage turned around and followed the scent downstairs.

"I have to go downstairs to try that shop today. I've been woken up by its fragrance every time I come for a massage this week!"

"Damn! What kind of dish smells so good?!"

"Me too!"

...

The two followed the scent all the way to Xu Zhou's shop.

The closer you get, the more you can smell the irresistible aroma of the ingredients inside.

And among these...

The aroma of grilled mackerel, made from fresh fish from the deep sea, is a wonderfully mild and unique blend of the sweet scent of steamed vegetables and a hint of milk.

It's like being enveloped in the breath of spring; the whole world softens, and your body feels cleansed.

Just looking at that bright green cabbage puree makes me feel so fresh, healthy and comfortable.

What is this fish?

"Grilled mackerel with cabbage puree."

Xu Zhou smiled and said, "It's 180 yuan a serving. It contains some unique secret recipes that are very beneficial for nourishing the stomach and replenishing qi."

"You can give it a try."

"It's good for your stomach? Really? My stomach is really not very good."

If other shop owners said this, Fan Zhifeng and Jiang Qi definitely wouldn't believe it.

I've had my feet washed so many times, and I've heard plenty of the masseuses' lewd talk.

Can I really believe this?

But for some reason, when my gaze fell upon the fish, its surface charred golden brown, yet its inside so tender it seemed to melt in my mouth, and the vibrant green cabbage and yam puree beside it…

These are all light and refreshing colors, which inexplicably makes this statement seem somewhat credible.

The fish looks fresh, and the vegetable puree looks very healthy...

What if it really does help with stomach health?

"it is good."

"Boss, one order, please!"

"Okay, you can come and get it now."

Xu Zhou took two bowls and plates.

Take a piece of fish that I fried in the training room last night from the thermos, and gently pour the cabbage and yam puree mixed with cream sauce from another thermos around the fish.

The emerald green color is absolutely beautiful, making the grilled fish look even more translucent, tender, and tempting.

Fan Zhifeng and Jiang Qi were both staring wide-eyed.

"Enjoy it."

Xu Zhou placed the plate on their table.

...

Staring at the food in the bowl.

Fan Zhifeng carefully cut a small piece of fish with a knife, dipped it in the sauce, and put it in his mouth.

"...!!!"

The moment the temperature of the tongue touches the fish, the tender fish meat crumbles in your mouth with just a gentle bite.

All the locked-in juices of the fish are released instantly. The fish, which contains 70% water, melts in your mouth with just a few gentle touches of the tongue.

The incredibly sweet and tender fish is made even more refreshing and delicious with the addition of a sauce made from mashed cabbage and mashed yam.

"good to eat!"

"too delicious!"

Fan Zhifeng's eyes were full of amazement: "I don't usually like sweet food, but this sweetness is not from artificial saccharin, but from the natural sweetness of the ingredients!"

"The sweetness is perfectly balanced, and the smooth texture leaves the whole body feeling comfortable and refreshed..."

I don't know what was added to this.

It has the rich aroma of cream without being greasy, and also the sweet flavor of cabbage and yam.

The translucent, melt-in-your-mouth fish, enhanced by this sauce, brings out 200% of its flavor.

This is a collision of ingredients.

Like two perfectly matched gears, when they come together, they create a unique and unparalleled taste sensation.

The two of them immediately started calling out to their good buddies upstairs, with whom they used to soak their feet.

[Fan Zhifeng: Come down for dinner, at Ichizuru Izakaya.]

[Zhang Yuan: I'm getting a massage right now, I'm not coming!]

[Fan Zhifeng: It's so delicious! The best thing I've ever eaten! Dad's not lying to you!]

[Zhang Yuan: Okay.]

At their call.

Two or three people came down at first.

But after two or three people finished eating, their eyes widened instantly, and they let out a sharp, explosive sound.

"good to eat!"

"This fish is amazing! It's so fresh!"

...

the other side.

Old Zhang and Old Wang, migrant workers at Brother Li's casual dining restaurant, really enjoyed this kind of spicy and oily dish. They looked on with anticipation as Li Yipeng stir-fried several kinds of chili peppers and added more than a dozen kinds of spices.

Surprisingly, the final product looked quite appealing.

"Would you like to try it?"

Li Yipeng was very confident: "The taste of my fish, and the portion size, are only 128 yuan. It's definitely a good deal."

"This is a real delicacy!"

"Ah."

After paying, Li Yingwan picked up a piece with her chopsticks and carefully took a bite.

The fish was fried until golden brown. When you bite into it, the fish inside isn't particularly tender, but it's very juicy.

It was a bit too oily, though; the whole fish was covered in chili oil.

After several layers of spiciness, the insane level of heat made Li Yingwan feel a slight discomfort in her stomach after only a few bites.

Despite its glossy appearance, the fish was fried to a golden brown and coated in chili oil.

But if you smell it closely, you can still detect a slight rotten smell of fish in the extremely spicy chili oil.

"This fish..."
