Chapter 912: Relax during non-working hours
While everyone's attention was diverted, Xiao Peng quickly picked up a piece of fish maw with chopsticks, dipped it into the porridge, and then started eating.
Oh my god, this tastes amazing, not a bit fishy at all! I've never tasted fish maw this delicious!
Old Liu was frightened by the look: "I only have a little left here! Not enough to share!"
Hua Chong ran straight to the kitchen: "Bring it to me quickly. Damn, he still has the nerve to say just a little? He left half a plate!"
Chen Cheng coughed twice and said, "Old Liu, I'm going to say something to you. This is not very kind of you!"
Old Liu slammed his knife down on the chopping board. "How am I being unkind? How can I let the chef starve to death? I'm watching you guys enjoying your meal, can't I leave some for myself? You don't always come across frogfish this big!"
"How could he starve you to death? You've gained at least ten pounds since you got on board!" Hua Chong said, "I can guarantee you, he definitely still has more!"
"It's gone! You took it all away!" Old Liu waved his hands hurriedly.
"What if I find out?" Hua Chong said.
Xiao Peng coughed dryly twice and said, "Alright, alright, you can't leave Old Liu with nothing, right?"
Several people looked at Xiao Peng with disdain: "Boss, you're the one who eats the most!"
"I'm the boss! And I caught this fish!" Xiao Peng said, "I'm already lucky enough to give it to you guys to eat, and you're still here complaining? Do you believe I can take the fish belly back?"
"Don't worry!" When they heard Xiao Peng wanted to grab the fish maw, everyone hurried to eat it.
"Old Liu, is the wine hot?" Xiao Peng asked.
"It has to be hot. How about 40-year-old Jimo millet wine with brown sugar and ginger slices?" Old Liu came over with the wine pot.
Xiao Peng took a sip and smacked his lips. "Enjoy it! Try this bone-in meat. It's so chewy!"
"Lao Liu! You are just flattering the boss! You just want to heat wine for the boss? We want that too!" Several people rushed into the kitchen.
Old Liu was anxious: "Don't grab it, the boss brought this from China, there aren't many to begin with!"
Seeing this scene, Bradley turned around and asked, "Xiao, is this your employee? Isn't that too casual?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng asked, "Is it working time now?"
"Of course not!" Bradley said.
"That's it!" Xiao Peng said, "People on the ship are usually like this, but they are completely different when they are working."
Bradley coughed dryly. "Mr. Xiao, don't you always say that professional matters should be left to professionals? I've noticed that everyone on your ship is a professional when it comes to eating. I don't understand what you were talking about just now, but we noticed they're all fighting over this thing and your wine. How about letting me have a taste?"
Xiao Peng's face was full of black lines: "So you didn't join in the fun because you wanted to target me! Okay, come on, let's have a drink!" Xiao Peng poured him a glass of wine and put a piece of fish maw into the porridge in front of him.
Bradley took a sip of wine and nodded, "It feels so good to drink like this!"
After he ate the fish maw, his eyes lit up. He turned to the crew and said, "You'll regret it if you don't eat it!"
Xiao Peng glared at him fiercely, "Shut up! How can this little fish be enough for so many people? No other fish tastes like this! Try the fin meat, it's got crispy bones inside. If you have good teeth, just eat it all! We Chinese people say 'don't talk while eating, don't talk about your meal', which means just keep your head down and eat what you have!"
Bradley blinked. What Xiao Peng said made sense. There was only a small amount of fish, and there were a bunch of people behind them. They all looked like they wanted to try it. How could there be enough to share with such a small fish? He quickly lowered his head and started eating.
The problem is that it would have been fine if he hadn't said hello, but when Bradley greeted the people behind him, everyone behind him became eager to move.
Xiao Peng coughed dryly twice. "Well, everyone, it's not dinner time yet. Don't worry, I'll prepare it for you when it's time. You don't like these things, do you? I'll make something you like later!"
Everyone was stunned after hearing Xiao Peng's words. "You're a billionaire! Shouldn't you share something so delicious? You're too stingy!"
The problem is, you can't really say Xiao Peng was stingy. This fish was said to weigh over ten pounds, but in reality, it was only about the size of a pot lid. The skin alone weighed a pound, and what would be left to eat without the fins? He couldn't bear to throw away the tail, even after the fillet had been sliced. He was going to prepare a soup with tofu and other ingredients. With so many people on the boat, if everyone had a bite, it would be gone!
There are not many frogfish in the East Atlantic, and it is even rarer to see one this big. This is the first time Xiao Peng has seen one. How can he not eat it to his heart's content?
"Huh? What are you all doing here?" Suddenly, a voice was heard at the door of the restaurant. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the heroine of the movie, Saldana, and her assistant.
She entered the room and gave Bradley a gentle kiss on the cheek.
This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures. These two were lovers. They later broke up, but now it seems that their relationship is still very good. If this were the case in China, would a couple who broke up still be able to get along like this? They would have been very upset!
"Saldana, try this fish!" Bradley picked up a piece of fish and rinsed it, ready for Saldana to taste.
Someone nearby, probably angry that they couldn't eat the fish, hurriedly said, "Saldana, don't eat this fish!"
"Why?" Saldana was about to eat when she was stunned when she heard this: "Why can't I eat it?"
The person who spoke said, "This fish is so ugly! It doesn't even look like it's edible. I even took a picture of it!"
He then took out his phone and showed it to Saldana.
Saldana's eyes lit up when she saw it: "Frogfish! This fish is super delicious!"
After she finished speaking, she ate the fish in one bite. "Hmm? What kind of cooking method is this? It's absolutely delicious! I've eaten frogfish many times, but this is the first time I've eaten it prepared so deliciously! It's so unique! Bradley, give me another piece. You don't want to eat this fish because of its appearance? Then you're missing out on deliciousness! This kind of fish is one of the top three most beautiful fish I've ever eaten. But this cooking method is the first time I've seen it, and it really enhances the fish's flavor. Eh? Where's the liver? That's the essence of the frogfish! One bite of frogfish liver and you'll forget all about foie gras!"
After he finished speaking, before others could react, Walter and the others had already looked at Xiao Peng.
Just then, Lao Liu said, "Boss, the fish liver is ready. Just wrap it in starch and eggs and fry it."
Xiao Peng took a deep breath and said, "Old Liu, give me the fish liver. I want to go back to my room and play games!"
After he finished speaking, he took the induction cooker and the plate and walked towards his room.
If you don’t leave now, there will be nothing to eat!
