Chapter 42 The Strange Old Man



Xu Milu thought for a moment and said, "It's so big, let's steam half and braise the other half."

She had barely finished speaking when she heard someone nearby snort coldly:

"This is utter nonsense! What a waste!"

...

...

Xu Milu looked closely and saw an old man in a red Tang suit with gray hair and round glasses. At first glance, he looked just like the Colonel Sanders in the commercials.

At this moment, the old man stared intently at the silver-winged flying fish in Xu Milu's hand, approaching it almost obsessively, wanting to reach out and touch it:

"This fish is wonderful! The head is plump, perfect for making a delicious soup. The belly is succulent, ideal for slicing and cooking as sashimi. The body is firm, so steaming it with just ginger and scallions will bring out its natural flavor. The bones can be used to make a fish bone and mushroom soup. And the skin and tail shouldn't be wasted either; they can be coated in batter and deep-fried. How could you handle such good ingredients so carelessly?!"

As he spoke, he reached out to touch the tail of the silver-winged flying fish. Unexpectedly, the silver-winged flying fish suddenly sprang into an arc shape, and its sharp fins narrowly grazed the old man's hand. If Xu Milu hadn't dodged quickly, there would probably have been blood.

"Sir, this fish is dangerous. Please don't touch it, or you might get hurt."

Xu Milu was always gentle with the elderly. She switched the unfortunate fish to her other hand to prevent any reckless person from touching it, and then explained with a smile:

"This fish is for entertaining my friends, it's not for sale. If you'd like to eat it, you can order it. It's also in our mid-range set meal, just a little smaller."

The old man wasn't angry at all, even though he was almost hurt by a fish; he just kept laughing while covering his hand.

"This fish is amazing! I haven't seen such a wild fish in years. It's a real gem, a truly exceptional one. Young lady, I'll offer you 50,000 if you'll let me have this fish."
