If you’re eating fish, just eat it properly!

Liu Yuqing felt that this Vice President Wang was just out of his mind!

This kind of deep-fried carp can still twitch for over 20 minutes after being served. If you eat fast, there’s only a skeleton left, while the carp keeps opening and closing its mouth.

Eating while watching a fish open and close its mouth, does it have visual appeal and fun?

Alright, fun indeed!

This hobby is really something else.

Liu Yuqing, feeling indignant, couldn’t help but lash out at Vice President Wang.

Working in the same place, they’re familiar with each other’s work and living environments, which gives them plenty to talk about.

Fu Yu held his phone, chatting endlessly with Liu Yuqing about all sorts of things.

Neither of them mentioned hanging up, and the topics flowed continuously, becoming more and more engrossed, eventually turning into meaningless sweet talk, tangled in affection.

Meanwhile, in the living room next door, Liu Yunong entered, changed her shoes, and headed to her sister’s bedroom. Before she could push open the door, she heard a gentle laugh from inside.

Liu Yunong paused for a moment, then turned back to her own room.

It was time to change clothes and take a shower.

Washing away a day’s fatigue, Liu Yunong was sitting in front of her vanity doing her skincare routine before bed when Liu Yuqing opened the door and walked in.

”Hey? Sis, why didn’t you call me when you got back? If I hadn’t heard you moving around, I wouldn’t have known you were home!”

Liu Yuqing moved closer, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Liu Yunong.

Usually, when Liu Yunong comes home at this time, she goes to her sister’s room first, urging her to clean up and go to bed quickly, as she is strongly against her staying up late chatting on the phone.

But today, she surprisingly didn’t bother her and was leisurely applying a face mask by herself.

This made Liu Yuqing very puzzled!

Has her sister changed her tune?

Liu Yunong just waved her hand lazily and said, ”I saw you were having a good chat, so I didn’t want to disturb you.”

Liu Yunong was in a good mood today, and thinking about the live-cooked carp that Fu Yu had made, she couldn’t help but praise him.

This kid really has some skills!

Cooking, whether good or bad, needs a platform to showcase it.

Having impressive cooking techniques is a good thing and also important for the restaurant.

Thinking of this, Liu Yunong felt it might be necessary to give Fu Yu some more bonuses and benefits.

After all, winning people’s hearts, at any time, what really moves them is tangible benefits.

Especially now when Fu Yu is somewhat like family, it feels good that the benefits stay within the family.

Thinking this way, she felt much more comfortable.

But...

For some reason, Liu Yunong glanced at her sister sitting beside her wearing her milky white coral fleece pajamas and felt a bit strange.

Did she unknowingly have the sense of selling out her sister for prestige?

Realizing what she had just thought, Liu Yunong quickly shook her head to dismiss the terrible idea.

Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!

However, remembering Wang Yulong’s comments on Fu Yu, Liu Yunong couldn’t help but reflect a bit.

Honestly, her silly sister might not be capable of much else, but she does have a decent eye for people.

At the very least, if she really ended up with Fu Yu, she wouldn’t have to live a hard life.

It’s just that he’s from a small county, so his family’s financial situation is quite modest.

In the future, if they really get to the point of discussing marriage, there might be some pressure when it comes to buying a house and a car.

If they go for a down payment, her sister might have to scrimp and save to repay the mortgage alongside Fu Yu.

Borrowing for ten or twenty years, thinking about it gives her a headache!

How about... giving them an apartment as a wedding gift? As for cars, she has several, so giving one away wouldn’t be a big deal.

This way, maybe his family would also hold her sister in high regard?

...

After Fu Yu finished the call and was about to freshen up, a digital notification suddenly sounded in his ear:

[Ding! Task from NPC Chef Liu Yunong: Make a live-cooked carp satisfactory to Vice President Wang, successfully completed, reward received: 200 RMB, +20 cooking experience, +20 task experience]

Well, well!

Fu Yu raised an eyebrow.

Vice President Wang’s standards are quite high.

The live-cooked carp he made shouldn’t have had any flaws, right?

It’s been a while since they finished the meal, and he’s only now satisfied?

Since the task reward just arrived, it indicated the task requirements were just met.

Fu Yu smirked to himself and glanced at the reward for completing the task.

Not bad, 200 bucks in hand!

Tomorrow is Little New Year, the restaurant will surely be busy, so he plans to save it to treat Liu Yuqing to some milk tea.

Whenever Fu Yu gives some treats to Liu Yuqing, he makes sure to include the people at the front desk and also considers the kitchen crew; not one should be left out.

No helping it, having good rapport with everyone!

...

The 23rd day of the 12th lunar month, Friday, Little New Year.

Fu Yu usually rushes to prepare breakfast for the staff, getting to the kitchen every day as per the morning shift schedule.

Today he got up extra early, being the first to arrive in the kitchen.

Last night Liu Yuqing mentioned that the procurement officer, Xu Wei, delivered some carp to the kitchen, and Zhao Meng planned to make carp noodle soup.

With this news, Fu Yu didn’t need Zhao Meng to make a move. He directly went over to get the carp and personally handled the slaughtering and prep work.

Slice the magnolia petals into diamond shapes.

Cut fresh tofu into seven pieces.

Divide fresh mushrooms in half.

Place the ingredients into a clay pot.

Slice ginger and garlic, chop scallions and soaked red peppers into ’horse ear’ shapes.

Remove scales, gills and innards from the carp, then fry in oil.

The carp needs to be fried in oil first; it makes the soup rich and creamy. The nutrients in the fish dissolve in the oil, making it easier for the body to absorb.

Moreover, by frying the fish before making fish soup, it ensures the soup’s freshness and helps remove any fishy taste.
