Chapter 106: Hospitality

While everyone was busy with academic issues, Tang Jia completely stayed out of it and put his utmost attention into entertaining Princess Long Qingdai.

And, the little prince of the sea clan, Hai Xinghan!

However, Long Qingdai's real intention is not to drink, and she doesn't seem to care much about what to eat?

How about asking Hai Xinghan for his opinion?

Hai Xinghan chose to stew the big fish in an iron pot without hesitation, and provided an unusually fat and delicious big carp.

Since the guests said so, how could Tang Jia not be satisfied?

The big carp kindly provided by Hai Xinghan was sent to the kitchen. Upon hearing the news, the fat man George Patton immediately rushed over and drove everyone else out.

Tang Jia found it very funny, but still acquiesced.

As soon as the others left, the fat boy immediately removed the scales of the carp, cut open its belly to remove the internal organs, picked out its gills and cleaned it completely.

Finally, don’t forget to cut the fish into small pieces and dry it with kitchen paper.

Only then did he bring the fish to Tang Jia.

Seeing that he was working very hard, Tang Jia took another piece of ribs and handed it to him.

George Patton immediately took it, washed it, cut it into sections, put it into a pot with cold water, added cooking wine and ginger slices, blanched it, then took it out and drained it.

The skillful movements really have some of the flavor of a chef.

Tang Jia handed the vegetables over again. George Patton peeled and cut the potatoes into pieces without hesitation, cut the cabbage into sections, cut the tofu into pieces, soaked the vermicelli in warm water until soft, and chopped the green onion, ginger and garlic for later use.

Tang Jia patted his shoulder and praised him, "Young man, very good!"

The little fat boy scratched his head and laughed dryly: "It's all because of your good teaching, Master!"

George Patton had done most of the basic food preparation work, but when it came to the real thing, Tang Jia, the chef, had to show his real skills.

She poured a proper amount of soybean oil into the pan, waited for the oil to heat up, put in the fish prepared by the fat boy, fried it until both sides were golden brown, and set aside.

Now that the fish is fried, it's time to prepare the ribs.

Tang Jia leaves a little oil in the pot, adds chopped green onion, ginger, garlic, spices and dried chilies and stir-fries until fragrant, then adds soybean paste and stir-fries until the oil turns red, then adds the ribs and stir-fry evenly.

Then, add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, salt, and chicken essence for seasoning, add appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat.

When the ribs are just cooked, put the fried fish into the pot, add potato cubes, cabbage segments, and tofu cubes, and continue to stew for a quarter of an hour.

At this time, the ingredients are almost cooked. Add the softened vermicelli and simmer for a while. The steaming hot iron pot stewed fish is ready.

As Tang Jia put the pot of "hard dish" into the insulated box, he asked, "Have you learned it?"

The little fat man turned off the camera and said with a wry smile, "Everything else is fine, except for the spices and the soybean paste..."

Tang Jia took out his own stock from the storage space and gave half to the fat man.

"Qingcheng Star is destroyed, and I don't have much stock left. I can only give you this much. Please use it with ease."

The little fat man stretched out his hands to take it, carefully packed the spices and paste, and couldn't wait to put them into his storage space.

If someone who doesn't know the situation sees the sneaky look of the fat boy, wouldn't they suspect that the two of them have made some shameful deal?

Tang Jia couldn't help but shook his head and seriously doubted the fat boy's IQ.

Although George Patton's IQ is questionable, he still has some talent in cooking.

Several Northeastern dishes made with big fish stewed in an iron pot are quite tasty.

Dishes like sweet and sour pork, braised pork slices, three fresh vegetables, stir-fried green beans and shredded tofu with hot peppers are all made with a similar skill to hers, and she is definitely qualified to be a master.

After Tang Jia gave the little fat boy some cooking advice, he tidied up a bit before going around the back door and coming to the front door.

Looking at the time, there was still a quarter of an hour before dinner time. Tang Jia was not in a hurry at all and even found a chair to sit down.

Big shots, you have to consider your status.

When dining at a place of the caliber of Nige Restaurant, arriving on time is considered good; being late is not considered normal.

She was tired after a whole afternoon, so she decided to take a rest first. It wouldn't be too late to get up when the time came.

As Tang Jia expected, Hai Xinghan arrived just in time.

Tang Jia quickly stood up and went to greet him, and whispered the names of the dishes.

Hai Xinghan swallowed secretly, took out his laptop and immediately sent an urgent message to Long Qingdai.

When Long Qingdai saw Hai Xinghan's news, she clenched her back teeth, but she still had to get up and set off to Nige Restaurant.

She could make Tang Jia wait, but she didn't have the temper to make Hai Xinghan wait.

Tang Jia would take her status as the princess into consideration and wait for her no matter how late it was. But Hai Xinghan, the foodie, would not do that at all.

When this guy is hungry, he will really urge the chef to serve the food. Then after eating and drinking his fill, he will pat his butt and leave, leaving a table full of leftovers.

By then, she, Long Qingdai, will lose all her face and dignity.

This hurts her more than killing her!

This boy knows how to defeat her!

Long Qingdai's face darkened for a rare moment, and she sped up. Huo Qingyu knew that Hai Xinghan must have done something weird again.

Sure enough, Huo Qingyu saw Hai Xinghan and Tang Jia having a pleasant conversation from afar on the aircraft.

So, when did their relationship become so good?

Just because we often eat together?

Huo Qingyu was puzzled, and Long Qingdai couldn't understand it either.

Looking at the two people chatting happily, Long Qingdai's face turned even darker. She took several deep breaths before she forced out a sweet smile and got off the aircraft.

"Sorry to have kept you two waiting!"

Hai Xinghan replied without hesitation: "That's good to know!

Knowing that I can’t stand being hungry, why don’t you go out earlier?

If he faints from hunger, who will be responsible?"

Long Qingdai clenched her fists again and again. If she hadn't been concerned about the consequences, she would have punched Hai Xinghan.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Huo Qingyu hurried over to help.

“It’s all my fault!

Just before leaving, I discovered that there was a small problem with the aircraft prepared for His Highness, so I had to re-coordinate and check it, which delayed me a little.

I'll treat you to this meal as an apology to you two!"

Hai Xinghan laughed with an ambiguous tone.

Tang Jia was afraid that if he continued to argue, the situation would become difficult to handle, so he quickly said, "This happened suddenly, and neither of you expected it. It's understandable!"

Since Your Highness is not hungry, I will ask the kitchen to serve the food immediately, and we can eat and talk at the same time."

Hai Xinghan gave Tang Jia face, nodded, and walked into the box.

Although Long Qingdai was reluctant, she still led Huo Qingyu and followed quickly.

In the battle between Long Qingdai and Hai Xinghan, the winner was actually Hai Xinghan?

So, people shouldn’t be too shameless?!

Tang Jia realized it!

And she deeply felt that inviting Hai Xinghan to dinner was her wisest decision.

I'll have to treat Hai Xinghan to a meal some other time.

How about stewing a goose in an iron pot?

Of course, Hai Xinghan has to pay for this goose himself.

After all, this thing is currently only found in the sea tribe’s places, and it hasn’t been found in other places yet, right?
