Zhang Wenhong and Li Changsheng actually raised their hands first. When they noticed everyone's strange looks, they asked Su Miaomiao a little embarrassedly.
"Um... can we help you?"
"Yes, we are fine anyway. If you don't mind us, we can help you."
Since Su Miaomiao has made it clear that she will not stay and compete with them for their jobs, their hostility towards Su Miaomiao naturally disappears.
Ever since Su Miaomiao became famous at Pinweilou last time, the whole Chunlan County knows that Su Miaomiao’s cooking is delicious.
Compared with those diners who are eager to try how delicious Su Miaomiao’s cooking is, these chefs not only want to taste the food, but also want to learn a few tricks from Su Miaomiao and improve their cooking skills.
Of course, others who want to learn cooking from Su Miaomiao have not had the chance yet, so since they have such a good opportunity, they naturally cannot let it go easily.
As for how they were just disgusted with Su Miaomiao's arrival, now they suddenly start to curry favor with her, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.
But it's embarrassing, so be it.
Su Miaomiao didn't bother with them, so it would be too petty for two grown men like them to still be upset.
It would be better to ask Su Miaomiao for advice with an open mind. Maybe you can learn something.
It doesn’t matter if I don’t learn anything. It’s quite an honor to be able to interact with a legendary figure like Su Miaomiao.
At this time, Su Miaomiao had no idea what was going on in the two men's minds. In response to their advances, she agreed immediately.
"Sure, that's great. It's my blessing to have two chefs helping me. I have to thank you both. I'm sorry to both of you for the hard work later."
Seeing that Su Miaomiao agreed, Zhang Wenhong and Li Changsheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled happily.
The two of them said quickly.
"You're welcome. We should thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch you cook."
"Yes, you don't have to be so polite with us. We were just being overly suspicious. We are narrow-minded. Please don't take it to heart."
"We were wrong. Don't be like us."
Seeing the two people apologize so solemnly, Su Miaomiao immediately gave positive feedback.
She said it casually.
"Okay, I accept your apology. I didn't think it was a big deal. Time is running out, so let's get lunch ready."
Zhang Wenhong and Li Changsheng both responded readily.
"Okay, let's get started!"
"Just tell us what you need us to do!"
Seeing this, Su Miaomiao curled her lips and smiled and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite. Please help me kill the fish and scrape the scales. Please help me prepare the onions, ginger and garlic. Remember to peel the ginger. And you..."
Everyone said that everything would be fine once it was opened up. Su Miaomiao quickly got into the state and assigned tasks to everyone in a clear and orderly manner.
In an instant, everyone inside and outside the house was mobilized by Su Miaomiao.
The scene suddenly became peaceful.
When Butler Sun saw that everyone was busy and bustling with activity, he finally felt at ease.
Fortunately, there was no quarrel, otherwise it would be difficult for him to end it.
After this incident, he discovered that Su Miaomiao was not as difficult and unreasonable as he had imagined. It turned out that people need to get to know each other better to know what kind of person they are.
"Chef Su, the fish is ready. Is it okay?"
Zhang Wenhong walked towards Su Miaomiao with the killed fish.
Su Miaomiao took a look and said with admiration.
"Not bad, it's really clean. Thank you for your hard work, Chef Zhang."
Things like cleaning fish are usually done by assistants. Zhang Wenhong felt that it was a waste of his talent for Su Miaomiao to ask him to kill fish.
But he didn't say anything. After all, Su Miaomiao was better at cooking than him, so he was happy to help Su Miaomiao kill the fish.
He casually placed the basin on the stove and asked.
"It's been a while since I've personally cleaned fish. A fish this big is a rarity. What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to kill two birds with one stone."
"Oh? That's a good idea indeed. Such a big fish can be made into several dishes. Which ones are you going to make?"
Seeing that Zhang Wenhong was interested, Su Miaomiao counted on her fingers and said.
"I'm going to make a casserole with the fish head."
“The fish fillet portion is pan-fried fish fillet.”
“Slice the fish into pieces and marinate it to make pickled fish.”
"The remaining meat from the fish bones is scraped off to make fish balls, which are then used to make fish ball tofu soup."
“The belly and bones of the fish are made into fried fish nuggets.”
"Then cut part of the fish belly into fillets to make sweet and sour fish fillets."
Su Miaomiao said this, looked at her hands and said.
"That's about it. Let's use this fish to make these six dishes. What do you think, Chef Zhang? Do you have any better suggestions?"
How can one person be so good at making six dishes from one fish?
Zhang Wenhong was stunned when he heard this.
He thought Su Miaomiao would say common ways of eating such as braised, steamed, stewed, etc., but he didn't expect that he guessed none of them correctly.
At this time, Zhang Wenhong saw Su Miaomiao's humble look and waved his hands awkwardly.
"No, I don't have any suggestions. I think it's pretty good. To be honest, please don't laugh at me. I haven't done anything you mentioned. Even hearing about it seems new to me."
Li Changsheng, who was cutting meat nearby, couldn't help but speak up after hearing this.
"Me too. I've never heard of sauerkraut fish or sweet and sour fish fillet. But I'm a little curious. Is sauerkraut fish stewed with sauerkraut and fish? I've only heard of sauerkraut stewed with pork, bones, and vermicelli, but I've never heard of anyone stewing sauerkraut and fish together."
Su Miaomiao smiled faintly and explained.
"It's not the kind of pickled cabbage we usually eat. This is the kind used to make pickled fish."
As she spoke, she took the sauerkraut out of the small basket.
Su Miaomiao bought pre-cut sauerkraut in bags at the supermarket.
When everyone saw it, they immediately came over to take a look out of curiosity.
Li Changsheng pointed at the sauerkraut and asked with a look of doubt on his face.
"Chef Su, are you sure? This is sauerkraut?"
Su Miaomiao understood everyone's reaction very well and said with a smile.
"Yes, this is also called sauerkraut. It's pickled with mustard greens. Chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and other spices are added during the pickling process. It tastes rich in sourness and saltiness, and has a crisp texture. It's delicious."
Everyone was half-believing and half-doubting, and they all wanted to wait until the dish was ready to see if the sauerkraut was really as delicious as Su Miaomiao said.
Zhang Wenhong said, "You're the one cooking, so we won't interfere. Just keep it to yourself. I don't have any work to do right now. Please assign me some more."
Seeing Zhang Wenhong working so hard, Su Miaomiao looked around and asked.
“Can you fillet a fish?”
"No, but I'm pretty good with a knife. I should be able to learn it if you teach me. It depends on whether you are willing to teach me."
Zhang Wenhong was a little nervous when he asked. He wanted to learn from Su Miaomiao, but was afraid that Su Miaomiao would not be willing to teach him.
Su Miaomiao walked straight to where the knives were placed, picked up a knife and turned to walk towards him.
Zhang Wenhong was startled and said as he stepped back.
"Don't use a knife. If you don't want to teach me, then don't teach me. You don't need to use a knife, right?"
