Chapter 76: What kind of fish is this? Why have I never heard of it?

The work started here, and Song Shiwei also started to get busy.

She took out the fish liver intact. If it was damaged, it would be incomplete. This is the most delicious part of the entire monkfish.

However, there is a layer of membrane outside the fish liver, and she needs to remove it.

Song Shiwei carefully peeled off this membrane and then gently washed away the blood on the fish liver with water.

Take a dry cloth, dry the water on the fish liver and place it flat on a plate.

There is no rose salt, red wine, or black pepper in this era.

So, she modified her approach.

Pinch some salt and sprinkle it evenly on the fish liver, then grind a few peppercorns and white pepper into powder with a knife.

Sprinkle it over the cod liver along with the starch and massage it gently to allow it to absorb the flavor.

Heat oil in a pan until it is about 70% hot. Add the fish liver and fry until both sides are golden brown. Remove the fish liver from the pan.

At this time, the inside is already cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

And the fragrance has already come out. This fatty aroma is not like lard or butter. It has a strange aroma.

This caused everyone in the kitchen to turn their heads and look at her.

Song Shiwei couldn't take care of them because she still had the most important step to do, which was to make the sauce.

I found a pear, peeled it with a knife, and cut it into two nice cylinders.

Then he poured some Shaoxing rice wine directly into the pot where the fish liver was fried. This was another way for Song Shiwei to use local ingredients. He saw a pot of rice wine on the vegetable rack and used it directly.

When the rice wine started to boil, she added sugar and chopped pears. She then took seven or eight purple grapes from the vegetable rack, washed them, crushed them with the skin, extracted the juice, and put it into the pot.

The originally yellowish soup instantly turned purple-red.

When the soup has thickened slightly and the pears have been soaked and cooked, take them out, cut them into long strips, and place them on the fried fish liver.

Finally, pour all the soup in the pot over the golden fish liver.

The pan-fried fish liver is ready.

At this moment, the entire kitchen was filled with the aroma of wine, mixed with the aroma of fruit and the strange aroma of fish liver.

You know what, this smell is something I've never smelled before.

It smells so good!

Even Sun Quan was a little surprised. What was she doing? Why did she make such a strange dish?

At this time, Sun Zeyan also came with a group of leaders.

Wang Zhenzhu hurried to help arrange seats.

We found the brightest and cleanest table for the leaders to sit at.

Director Zheng said to the middle-aged man in the lead, "Secretary Gu, let's sit down first. It's getting late. I'm sure you're all hungry after walking all the way. As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. Only when you are full can you work well! Don't you agree?"

Gu Changrong pushed his black-framed glasses and said with a smile, "Director Zheng is right. Only after a full meal can we work well! Let's all sit down! After dinner, we still have a difficult task to do!"

Sun Zeyan smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes! We must make sure the leaders eat well!"

As he spoke, he waved to the person beside him.

The man understood and immediately took out two bottles of Moutai from his bag and handed them to Sun Zeyan.

"I didn't know what the leaders liked to drink, so I took the initiative to prepare it!"

As he was about to open the wine, he was stopped by Gu Changrong.

"Director Sun! No! We all have important things to do this afternoon. Drinking is prohibited during work hours. This is the rule. The rules cannot be broken! Besides, drinking can cause trouble!"

When Sun Zeyan heard him say this, he looked at Director Zheng beside him with an embarrassed look on his face, and saw that he was also waving his hands helplessly.

Only then did he put away the wine in his hand.

He had inquired in advance and found out that this ancient scribe loved to drink when he had nothing to do and would also have a drink before going to bed at night.

I didn't expect him to be so strict about his work.

I don’t know if what the factory wants can be accomplished!

The factory's performance was not good, and there had been rumors from higher-ups that they might have to merge their clothing factory with the adjacent textile factory and send in a new leadership team to reorganize the business.

As soon as the news came out, everyone was in a panic. Not only he and Director Zheng were afraid, even the workers under them were afraid of being laid off!

After all, several factories in surrounding counties and cities have closed down one after another this year.

The clothing from the south has a great impact on the north. In the past two years, the factory has not been able to sell its clothing, which has accumulated a lot of pressure. The factory has been in the red all the time.

The workers have not been paid for two months.

But compared to not being able to pay wages, the employees are more afraid of being fired!

If I really get fired, I'll be completely unemployed. But at least there's hope in this situation!

Sun Zeyan and the others thought that it would be easier to talk about it over a meal, so they didn't dare to bring up the matter at the factory. But when they got to the restaurant, everyone had a few drinks and a good meal, and treated them well, maybe the matter could be resolved if they brought it up.

Who would have known that the ancient scribe never drank alcohol during his work!

After letting the people around him take the wine away, Sun Zeyan could only hope that after the leaders were in a good mood after the meal, he could take the opportunity to talk about this matter.

At this time, several dishes were being cooked in the kitchen.

Sun Zeyan waved his hand and asked someone to get the dishes.

The first dish was fried pork with chili peppers, which tasted just OK. Sun Zeyan also ordered a lot of steamed buns.

Since they don't drink alcohol, the leaders have to eat their fill. How can that be possible without steamed buns?

But Gu Changrong took two bites and put them down.

The second dish was fried cucumber with eggs. The eggs were fried until golden yellow and quite fragrant.

But they were used to it and didn't think it was that delicious.

Before the third dish arrived, everyone smelled a strange fragrance.

Even the guy who was in charge of serving the dishes was shocked.

What is this dish? Why does it smell so good?

Holding it in your hand, the fragrance goes straight into your nose!

And it was a strange fragrance he had never smelled before!

When the dishes were served, everyone was stunned.

Gu Changrong even exclaimed "Wow!" This was the first time he had seen such a dish!

"What kind of dish is this? Why have I never seen it before? And the taste... is very strange!"

Factory Director Zheng looked at Sun Zeyan.

Sun Zeyan was also confused, but he quickly realized that the little girl had said that this fish could be cooked in five ways. Looking at the appearance of this thing, it seemed like...

His eyes lit up and he smiled and explained, "If I'm guessing correctly, this should be the liver of the monkfish, the legendary gold of the sea!"

"Monkfish?"

Gu Changrong rolled his glasses in surprise.

"What kind of fish is this? Why haven't I heard of it before?"

Not to mention him, even Director Zheng didn't know what this was and could only look at Sun Zeyan beside him again.

Sun Zeyan smiled awkwardly: "I don't know what kind of fish this is!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Director Zheng growl in a low voice: "You dare to give this fish to the leaders when you don't know what it is?"
