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

Li Yingwan hesitated.

Li Yipeng started stir-frying over high heat again, while serving several portions of the large pot of stir-fried food to the other people in the restaurant.

"There's nothing wrong with this fish! It's normal for sea fish to be a little fishy!"

"..."

Is that right?

Did she think too much?

Li Yingwan sat down at the table hesitantly and slowly to savor her food, eating very slowly.

But suddenly…

Chapter 56 Want to Buy Brother Li's Casual Dining Shop

Zhang Yong was the first to experience problems. However, after eating fish for only twenty minutes, his stomach started rumbling, and he began vomiting and having diarrhea.

"vomit……"

"What's going on?"

The fish meat was masked by the extreme spiciness.

However, mackerel is different from other fish; it belongs to the mackerel family and decomposes rapidly after death.

Rotten fish produces large amounts of histamine, which can cause food poisoning.

With the addition of these extremely spicy chilies and various greasy foods, several people couldn't handle it after a while.

"vomit……"

"It must be the fish that's the problem! It was perfectly fine this morning!"

Migrant workers Lao Wang and Lao Zhang are usually in good health and have not shown any symptoms for the time being.

But when they saw Zhang Yong vomiting and having diarrhea, they dared not continue eating and began to doubt the restaurant they had been eating at for so long.

"Old Li, what's wrong with this fish? It doesn't look clean!"

"Yeah! Look how much Zhang Yong is throwing up!"

"This has nothing to do with my fish!"

Li Yipeng quickly waved his hand: "Otherwise, how come you're all alright?"

"Ugh... shit... ugh!"

Zhang Yong was so exhausted from vomiting that he could only quickly send messages to Li Da and Cai Cai, who were eating at the Yizhou Izakaya next door.

...

After Xu Zhou and his group of diners had finished eating and drinking, they slumped back in their chairs, burping and savoring the delicious food they had just eaten.

One by one, customers from the foot massage parlor upstairs came down to eat.

"There are only a few servings of grilled mackerel left."

"The mackerel burger steak combo is unavailable."

"There are still quite a few imitation barbecue dishes, and two servings of egg rice."

The customer upstairs gritted his teeth, thought about the feedback in the group, and placed an order without hesitation.

"Give me a serving of transforming egg rice!"

"Another order of grilled mackerel, please!"

Xu Zhou nodded: "Okay, have a seat."

While he was cooking, his ears were suddenly filled with notification sounds as the prayer points from that large wave of customers were credited to his account.

[Transformation into Egg Rice Bowl: Wish Points +1...]

[Upgraded Egg Rice Recipe!]

【Transformation Egg Rice Bowl: 1002/10000 (3)】

[Food Discount: 10% off]

[Daily grocery purchase: 50 servings]

The addition of two simple meals was even faster.

The fifty simple meals were almost sold out.

The wish value from the two dishes instantly increased by 500 points, and it's still increasing...

[Soma Yukihira Fast Food Mackerel Burger Steak: 4750/10000 (3)]

【Sichuan peppercorn roasted mackerel with cabbage puree: 600/1000 (2)】

After all, each customer's wish value for each dish is capped at 30 points. After eating it, 10 points are instantly added, and the remaining 20 points will gradually increase throughout the day.

Looking at the rapidly increasing numbers, Xu Zhou was very satisfied.

Just as he was about to close the shop, Cai Cai, who works at the shop, saw a message on her phone and stood up: "Boss, my classmate next door seems to have food poisoning from eating their food."

"Food poisoning?"

"Yes, he got food poisoning from eating fish at Brother Li's casual dining place next door."

"..."

Xu Zhou paused for a moment, then got up and followed.

Is it real food poisoning?

...

We had just arrived outside Brother Li's casual dining shop.

Even from a distance, you could see that several people inside had started vomiting and having diarrhea.

Li Yingwan, the owner of the foot massage parlor upstairs, looked at the fish she had barely touched and stopped eating with a start.

Zhang Yong's face turned pale.

"Take him to the hospital!"

Seeing Zhang Yong's condition, Xu Zhou immediately dialed the hospital's emergency number: "You probably have food poisoning, most likely..."

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Li Yipeng's voice was shrill: "These fish are all farmed sea fish that I bought last night from a large fish farm. How could they possibly have food poisoning! The receipts are right here!"

"It's still fresh, alive!"

The receipt has a date on it.

I did buy it last night.

A person nearby leaned over for a look and said doubtfully, "It was indeed bought last night."

"Then it should be fine."

"If it's just left in the refrigerator overnight, there's no way it could cause food poisoning."

"I already said it wasn't a problem with the fish in our store." Li Yipeng breathed a sigh of relief and was about to put the receipt away.

"Wait."

Xu Zhou glanced at the price and compared it with the market price: "Your price is a bit off."

In this culinary world, even sea fish have long been artificially farmed using simulated methods.

However, buying fresh goods and buying frozen goods are not the same price.

Seeing that Li Yipeng seemed about to say something, Xu Zhou went over and opened the refrigerator.

Even though the fish is stored in the freezer.

However, when you open it, you can still smell the stench of severely rotting protein; the smell of rotten meat immediately wafts out of the refrigerator.

Immediately, everyone else in the store couldn't help but keep their distance, looking disgusted.

"Scourges decompose faster after they die than other species of fish."

Xu Zhou paused for a moment: "This is clearly a dead fish. The surface has a lot of decaying bacteria, which is why it smells so bad."

Li Yipeng remained silent: "..."

Xu Zhou closed the refrigerator door, her tone indifferent: "Didn't you know you still make main dishes with mackerel as the main ingredient? Are you disregarding the lives of your customers just to copy a recipe?"

Seeing that several people had food poisoning, Xu Zhou thought that perhaps he should have come over earlier to remind them.

but…

Who could have known that people in this world, having never eaten pre-cooked meals, would have such a violent reaction in their digestive systems when encountering such food?

Xu Zhou couldn't help but feel a deep sadness.

In my previous world, I wouldn't get diarrhea even if I ate beef rolls made from zombie meat.

So subconsciously, I didn't take the fish that had been frozen in the refrigerator overnight after it died seriously.

After all, it used to be more than just one night.

Many parents believe that as long as meat is put in the freezer, it will last forever and won't spoil...

...

Li Yipeng didn't know how to refute it at first.

But when he saw customers in Xu Zhou's shop crowding around to watch the excitement, all of them jumping around, he immediately raised his voice eight octaves.

"You probably bought the fish last night, right? You must have prepared it at home beforehand, otherwise the meal wouldn't have been ready so quickly!"

“We bought the fish in advance. If your customers are fine after eating it, then it shouldn’t be a problem with the fish!”

"My fish is fresh."

"impossible!"

"How is it impossible?"

Xu Zhou raised an eyebrow and brought over the last serving of grilled mackerel from his shop, placing it in front of Li Yingwan.

"Taste it."

"..."

Li Yingwan felt a stomachache just looking at the mackerel. She couldn't help but glance hesitantly at Zhang Yong, whose face was pale, and hesitated to take a bite.

But suddenly…

The unique fresh flavors of seafood and the sweet aroma of cabbage and yam puree overwhelmed her senses.

Not only did it not have any of the rotten smell it had before, but it was also so fresh and juicy that it made one's mouth water.

"This fish..."

"They do look very fresh and tender!"

"It smells so good!" The person next to me couldn't help but sniff it.

The fish skin was fried to a golden brown, and unlike the rotten smell of the fish inside, the fish in front of me was crystal clear and looked incredibly fresh.

Li Yingwan carefully dipped her chopsticks into the sauce and tasted it.

A gentle touch of the tip of the tongue.

The smooth, mashed cabbage and yam melted on the tongue.

"!!"

Her eyes widened suddenly, her taste buds struck by the sweet aroma.

"good to eat!"

Besides the natural sweetness of the vegetables, you can also taste the rich flavor of cream, but thanks to the lemon juice, the sweetness is just right.

Pick up a piece of fish.

The moment you gently bite into it with your teeth, the fish meat crumbles on your tongue because it's so tender.
