Looking at the little devil's outstretched thumb, Qiu Zeyu was puzzled.

Lan Ya Mei said happily, "Great skill! Come on, I'll make you some fish."

Before long, Lan Yamei fiddled around in the corner of the kitchen for a while, and soon brought out a large bowl of sizzling, spicy and fragrant fish fillets and placed it in front of Qiu Zeyu.

The white fish slices, the red broth, and the bright green cilantro and scallions wafted a fragrant aroma that instantly drew people around the table, their eyes shining with curiosity.

I've never seen this dish before; it's quite novel.

"Hey, what kind of dish is this? It smells so good!" someone asked.

"I can't tell what kind of dish it is; I've never seen it before."

"It looks like a radish, white and segmented. But if you look closely, you'll see thorns, can you see them?"

Lan Ya Mei didn't explain.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qiu Zeyu picked up a piece of snow-white fish, dipped it in the spicy soup, and popped it into his mouth. After a couple of chews, the fish slid down his throat with a gulp. He secretly exclaimed in admiration, "Fresh! Tender! Full of fish flavor! I want more!" He picked up another piece and put it in his mouth, then wolfed it down, his face full of satisfaction.

Seeing how they were eating, everyone couldn't contain themselves and asked, "Manager Lan, what dish is it? It smells so good, it's making our mouths water!"

"This is fish! I cooked it differently," Lan Yamei said modestly, scratching the back of her head.

Everyone was eager to eat when a beautifully dressed, round-faced girl with a lovely face suddenly called out from the crowd, "Fish? That's perfect, I love fish! Shopkeeper, give me one of these."

Seeing the two attendants behind the girl, Lan Yamei knew that a wealthy person had arrived. She smiled and said, "Miss, this fish is very complicated to cook. Are you sure you want to eat it?"

"Seeing how much this young master is enjoying his meal, I'd like to try it myself. Make an exact replica, and the price is up to you." The woman, wealthy and powerful, glanced at Qiu Zeyu as she spoke.

Qiu Zeyu only glanced at the person who came in out of the corner of his eye, without looking up, and focused on eating.

"Alright, Tie Niu, arrange a table for our distinguished guest, serve a plate of tempura and a pot of rice wine, and let them eat first. I'll go to the kitchen to get busy right away." With that, he turned and went into the kitchen to earn money.

Tie Niu quickly invited the group upstairs to the second floor.

After the three left, the other guests clamored to order the fish as well. Er Gou could only bow and explain to everyone, "There are only three fish available today. Come back tomorrow, and there will definitely be more! I guarantee everyone will be able to eat some. Then everyone can bring their families to enjoy this delicious meal together."

Er Gou wasn't lying; all the fish he brought back in the afternoon were grilled, except for two that the shopkeeper stopped.

Everyone could only shake their heads and sigh as they returned to their usual spots to enjoy their skewers, glancing back every now and then at the others wolfing down their food with envy.
