The restaurant serves food very quickly.
Zhou Yu and others had just sat down in the private room when dishes with delicious appearance, aroma and taste were served on the table one after another.
"Come on, everyone, eat quickly, don't be polite."
Everyone only drank porridge in the morning.
At this moment, I was tempted by the aroma of the food, and the feeling of hunger suddenly swept over my body.
Zhou Yu greeted everyone and took the lead in picking up the chopsticks.
Upon hearing this, the little kid next to him anxiously asked, "Little Nianjun, where's our fish?"
"The ingredients for these dishes have been prepared in advance, so they should be served quickly. The two fish need to be re-cooked, so the serving speed will be slower. But it shouldn't take too long. Mingda can try the sweet and sour pork first."
"Hmm~ Then the nest will be fine for now~ Awoo~ Awoo~ Good~"
Although she didn't get to eat the yellow croaker she had been craving for right away, the little girl had a very good appetite.
As the crispy and tender sweet and sour pork entered her mouth, the little girl quickly gave a satisfied compliment.
"Come on, Chengyang, try this too."
After feeding the little milk ball, Zhou Yu also picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for Chengyang.
The little girl performed very well today.
Without her cooperation, Xiao Sizi might have more trouble drawing blood.
"Thank you, little sir. Awooo~ Awooo~ It's delicious~ Little sir, you can eat some too~"
When Zhou Yu fed her, a smile instantly appeared on the little girl's face.
After eating it with a loud noise, he did not forget to remind Zhou Yu to eat as well.
That well-behaved look made Li Er feel jealous.
Fortunately, Empress Changsun was there to feed him, so he didn't get too sad.
"Hello, distinguished guest. Your large yellow croaker is ready. Please enjoy it slowly."
Shortly after everyone started eating, the waiter came to the box with two plates.
Seeing two golden yellow croakers served on the table, the little girl stood up excitedly and said, "Little Naijun, these fish are so beautiful. I want seven~ I want seven~"
"Okay, okay, Mingda, don't worry. Let me help you pick out the fishbone."
When the big yellow croaker was served, Zhou Yu didn't care about the rules of the fish head and tail. He directly took the belly of the fish and gave it to Chengyang and Xiaonaituanzi respectively.
Chengyang was a little older and could already pick out fish bones by himself, so Zhou Yu focused his attention on the little boy.
As the fish bones were picked out, he brought the tender fish meat to the little boy's mouth.
The little mouth opened and the fish was put into it.
He closed his mouth and chewed, his big watery eyes narrowed into a slit in an instant, "Awoo~Awoo~Good, really good~"
Today’s yellow croaker tastes much better than the one Zhou Yu made last night.
Even Zhou Yu himself had to admit that every dish produced by the restaurant's chef was truly a masterpiece.
Turning around and seeing that no one else had picked up their chopsticks, Zhou Yu quickly called out, "Everyone, try it. This kind of fish is very rare right now. If you finish it today, you don't know when you'll find it again."
"Hmm~ I want seven more, woooo~ woooo~"
Hearing that yellow croaker was scarce, the little milk ball chewed a little faster.
Upon hearing this, others also picked up their chopsticks and started to taste the food.
"Yes, the taste of this fish is indeed very tender and delicate."
"Sea fish is indeed more delicious than freshwater fish, with almost no fishy or strange smell."
"The fish is delicious and melts in your mouth. It would be great if I could eat it more often."
"Boy, can you find a way to get two more?"
…
After tasting it, everyone praised the yellow croaker highly.
At the same time, they all looked regretful.
Although the two large yellow croakers weighed two pounds, they actually didn't amount to much after being slaughtered.
In addition, Xiaonaituanzi and Chengyang liked it very much, so after the others tasted it, they put down their chopsticks consciously.
"As you saw when we came here just now, there are only two left in this restaurant. If you still want to eat, let's go look somewhere else later!"
"The ocean is so vast, why is this fish so rare?"
"The reason why yellow croaker is so rare is, in addition to factors such as slow growth and difficulty in reproduction, a large part of the reason is overfishing."
When Zhou Yu was working as a slave in a big city, he had eaten yellow croaker, so he specifically looked up relevant information.
When he heard Li Er's question, he told everyone about it as a topic of conversation.
In fact, there were still a lot of yellow croakers in the 1970s and 1980s.
If normal fishing methods are used, even if there is an impact, it will not be so serious.
The reason why yellow croaker is so rare today is mainly because a method of catching yellow croaker with a net was discovered in Guangdong during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
There are two bones in the brain of yellow croaker, like stones, also called "otoliths" or "balance stones".
"Otoliths" are closely related to the body balance of yellow croaker.
If encountering sound wave vibrations, the two otoliths of the yellow croaker will resonate.
This will then cause the yellow croaker to lose balance, or faint and float upwards.
So people took advantage of this characteristic of the yellow croaker and took the approach of violently hitting bamboo poles to stun the yellow croaker through these underwater sound waves. Then the fishermen would catch the fish that floated up, no matter how big or small, and catch them all in one pot.
Because this method of fishing is extremely efficient, it quickly spread to coastal areas, and more and more fishermen began to adopt the method of knocking nets.
"Boy, do we have any big yellow croaker over there?"
After listening to Zhou Yu's story, Li Er immediately stood up excitedly.
