Most people are familiar with chopped chili fish head, as it's a signature dish in many restaurants, but fewer people know about pickled cabbage fish head.

The name might make you think it's a Northeastern Chinese dish, but it's actually a genuine Sichuan dish.

Ye Feng's philosophy of serving large portions to satisfy every craving is perfectly embodied in this dish.

The head of a 50-pound silver carp or bighead carp, lying on the plate, looked incredibly majestic and imposing.

Not only Jiang Lu and Huan Feng, but also the other people in the private rooms, including Fairy of the Other Shore and Liu Shangquan, had their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

I already ate a lot of food, and then I drank a big bowl of soup. Now my stomach is shaking so much that it feels like it's wobbling when I walk. Where would I put this huge plate of food?

After delivering the dishes, the kitchen helpers didn't leave; instead, they stayed to introduce the dishes.

"Please forgive us, distinguished guests. My junior uncle was worried that you might find this dish of only fish head too simple, so he specially asked us to stay and explain it to you."

"This fish is no ordinary fish. It is a silver carp and bighead carp that hatched in the Divine Spring of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. It is a year and a half old and is a Divine Spring Flower Carp. After being cooked by my junior uncle's superb culinary skills, this dish of pickled cabbage fish head is fresh, tender and refreshing, appetizing and good for the spleen, sobering up and refreshing, and the soup is delicious."

"The characteristics of this dish are 'rich soup, tender fish, beautiful color, fresh taste, and generous portion'..."

Stop reading, just blanch it!

Stop right now! Stop your supernatural powers!

All the diners appeared refined and handsome with smiles on their faces, but inwardly they were roaring with rage.

With each word spoken by these culinary apprentices, saliva would well up in their mouths, and even before tasting the fish, one could already sense its exquisite freshness.

Moreover, the fish dish was already emitting a continuous aroma, further stimulating their taste buds. Who could resist such a double attack?

No, I have to hold back!

My stomach is already at its limit; if I finish this huge plate, I'll definitely burst!

"The most important point is that although this dish has not been blessed by heaven and earth, my junior uncle said that if you eat the whole thing, even an immortal body can still gain some benefits. The biggest benefit should be that your cultivation can be increased by 1.5 percent."

"As for guests who haven't reached the Immortal Realm, not only can it whiten the skin, making it firmer and more radiant, but it can also increase cultivation by about 15%. Moreover, you guests have come at the right time. Logically speaking, the ingredients used in this dish shouldn't be able to reach such a high level, but Junior Uncle discovered that this dish changed when combined with the braised beef noodles, which is why it has such effects."

hiss……

The diners were immediately shocked and couldn't help but start roaring in their hearts again.

Jiang Lu was trembling all over. His finger trembled as he pointed at Huan Feng, and he said angrily:

"This is a blatant conspiracy! This is a naked conspiracy! Damn it! No, we can't let this go!"

Huanfeng was shocked after hearing this.

What is the advisor trying to do? With such a furious expression, is he going to attack Ye Zhizun?

That won't do! Let's not even talk about the upper realms, but in this cultivation world, you have no chance of defeating a chosen one of the planes.

What? Why is he called the Chosen One of the Supreme Realm?

If someone can simply request blessings from heaven and earth, who else but the chosen one of this world is?

Huanfeng hurriedly advised, "Master, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Lu blurted out his own words again.

“I can definitely squeeze out some room in my stomach. This huge plate of food can’t be wasted like this. You don’t need to persuade me anymore. Wasting food is shameful, and we immortals should set an example.”

I'm coughing...

Huanfeng barely managed to swallow the curse that was about to come out of his mouth. Your sudden gasp almost sent me to my death!

Jiang Lu glared at Huan Feng and said, "You haven't been exercising much lately, have you? Why are you coughing now? Although our sect doesn't focus on physical training, we can't be careless about physical matters. You must practice diligently when you get back."

After saying that, she ignored Huanfeng and instead reached for the plate of pickled fish head.

The head of a fish doesn't have as much meat as the body, but it's richer in collagen.

It tastes soft, tender, and smooth, with an extraordinary flavor.

...

Ye Feng was currently enjoying a hearty meal with his kitchen helpers.

While eating, Ye Feng explained, "When eating fish head, you should start with the tenderest part. The smoothest, tenderest, and most fragrant part of the fish head is the 'walnut meat' connected to the gills near the throat. This piece of fish meat under the gills is also known as the most beautiful 'under-gill meat,' as tender as pig brain, incredibly sweet, and without any fishy smell. The under-gill meat of the fish head has a good texture and is rich in nutrients, providing protein and calcium, and it's exceptionally delicious."

Next are the fish lips, the skin of the fish head, and the fish face. These parts are tender and smooth, rich in collagen, and have the effect of "replenishing deficiency and lowering qi," which means increasing the absorption and conversion speed of spiritual energy.

Those who know how to eat fish often love fish eye meat. Fish eyes are rich in vitamins A and D, which can promote healthy retinal development and prevent retinal diseases and cataracts. Fish eyes have a protective effect on eyesight and are beneficial for protecting the retina; eating them regularly might bring unexpected benefits.

Finally, we must mention the fish brain. The most nutritious part of a fish is its brain, rich in unsaturated fatty acids dhA and lecithin, commonly known as "brain gold." One of its most significant benefits is promoting brain development, which in turn enhances comprehension.

Ye Feng ate as he talked, eating wherever he was talking.

The disciples listened and ate at the same time, and with their junior uncle's explanation, the taste became even more delicious.

Qi Ye took a sip of the soup and found it delicious and refreshing, which whetted his appetite. So he asked, "Junior Uncle, does this soup also contain a lot of the nutrients you mentioned? I think this fish soup is really delicious."

Ye Feng smiled and shook his head when he heard Qi Ye's question. He said, "You're really wrong. Although this soup is delicious, its nutritional value is far less than that of the fish meat. The reason you think it's so delicious is that most of the seasonings have dissolved into the soup, and less has entered the meat. So, if you want to get the most benefit, you should finish the fish head meat first before talking about the soup. If you really can't finish it, it's okay to leave some; it won't affect the effect."

Forehead……

The disciples were all somewhat stunned.

This is not what anyone expected.

After cooking for so long, shouldn't the soup be the most nutritious and effective part?

Ye Feng shrugged; there was nothing he could do about it.

No matter what kind of soup it is, it almost never contains much nutrition. Even if it's soup made from a thousand-year-old hen, the nutritional value of the soup is definitely less than that of a bite of chicken leg meat.

If you were to describe the ingredients of that soup in layman's terms, it would just be MSG and water. What kind of nutrition could it possibly have?
