Chapter 1124: Chapter 1123: Fish Fillet

The relationships between people are strengthened through interaction. Wang Leshan and Ye Qiu were exactly like that. The longer Wang Leshan spent with Ye Qiu, the more easily she was deeply attracted to him.

Many times, she was very surprised, feeling like this guy, a few years younger than her, seemed to know everything.

However, he was different from other outstanding young men, Ye Qiu didn’t seem very keen on showing it.

“Do you like grilled fish?”

“I do.”

Wang Leshan said.

She really liked grilled fish.

“The sea fish here don’t have a fishy smell, it’s best for grilling.”

Ye Qiu said.

Really?

Wang Leshan was still a bit skeptical.

Originally, when the temperature was high in summer, Ye Qiu could just take off his clothes and jump into the sea to catch fish directly. But now the temperature was so low, the wind and waves were high, even if he wasn’t afraid of the low temperature, it would certainly frighten Wang Leshan if he jumped in.

Ye Qiu took out his phone and called Zhou Wenting.

“Wenting, help me bring over a fishing rod, I want to fish.”

Zhou Wenting and Louise were still sleeping, unexpectedly, Ye Qiu had gone to the seaside again.

Now hearing that Ye Qiu wanted to fish, she got up and went to ask Housekeeper Eugene for a fishing rod and bait.

When Zhou Wenting and Louise arrived, they found that Ye Qiu was with that stewardess beauty.

Zhou Wenting naturally felt a little unhappy inside.

They’ve only met a few times, and they’re already together.

“Here’s your fishing rod.”

Zhou Wenting said.

“Watch me fish today, I’ll grill it for dinner myself.”

“Don’t know about you.”

Zhou Wenting said unhappily.

When Ye Qiu took the fishing rod, set up the bait, and swung it far out into the sea.

Now with such strong wind and high waves, Zhou Wenting and Louise both doubted whether fish could be caught at all?

But who is Ye Qiu?

A fishing expert.

And also, the Atlantic Ocean is teeming with fish, especially in this season, the fish are the fattest.

After casting the line, Ye Qiu and Wang Leshan waited while fishing, and Louise and Zhou Wenting went back to the car.

Before long, Ye Qiu felt something tugging at the fishing rod, it must be a big fish hooking on.

Ye Qiu wasn’t in a hurry, waited slowly, and then began to reel in slowly once confirmed the fish was hooked and couldn’t escape, Wang Leshan asked, “Ye Qiu, is the fish hooked?”

“Yes, it’s hooked.”

Wang Leshan seemed very excited, she didn’t expect that within a few minutes, Ye Qiu could reel in a fish.

Sure enough, as Ye Qiu reeled in the line until it was almost fully in, and tossed the line towards the shore, he saw a large Atlantic cod, weighing over ten pounds, already on the shore.

This is cod, its flesh is very good and it has big fish bones, usually great for making fish steaks.

In the car, Louise and Zhou Wenting didn’t expect that Ye Qiu would catch a fish so quickly.

The two women sometimes really felt that Ye Qiu was a bit of a miracle.

When they came down to look, they found it was cod, which could be used for grilled fish or pan-seared fish steaks, both very good options.

When Louise went to get a bag to store it, Ye Qiu baited the hook again, cast the line out, and waited there.

“Ye Qiu, how did you catch a fish so quickly?”

It must be related to the environment here.

Nearshore in their country there’s no fish left, it’s definitely hard to catch, but here there’s a lot, plus, now the temperature, many fishes come out to feed.

“Got one quickly again.”

Ye Qiu said.

Sure enough, shortly after, Ye Qiu felt the fish starting to nibble at the bait, he didn’t move until he was sure the fish swallowed the hook, then started to draw in the line slowly.

Pulled most of the way and tossed it towards the shore, it was another salmon weighing over ten pounds.

Both domestically and abroad, salmon are used for sashimi, especially in buffets, which Wang Leshan has had before.

“Ye Qiu, what kind of fish is this?”

Wang Leshan asked.

“Salmon, it can be used for the buffet in tomorrow night’s dinner, but it’s not very authentic.”

Because Ye Qiu knew the most authentic salmon came from Norway.

Inviting those distinguished guests tomorrow isn’t just about catching here!

Salmon?

Wang Leshan was even more surprised, it was her first time seeing someone catch salmon at sea.

…

Cod, salmon, Atlantic ribbonfish, Ye Qiu already caught more than a dozen, and then stopped, these were for tonight’s dinner.

The rest could possibly be stored in the fridge for tomorrow’s meal.

When Housekeeper Eugene was called to have someone pack the fish, they quickly took them back.

“Let’s head back, I’ll personally cook this time.”

Ye Qiu said.

Louise and Zhou Wenting were both a bit in disbelief that Ye Qiu would cook.

Wang Leshan and Ye Qiu got into Louise’s car and drove back to the Eastern Castle, where a middle-aged couple was still preparing tonight’s dinner hotpot, and heard that Ye Qiu would personally cook grilled fish.

So they wouldn’t need to make dinner.

But they wondered, for someone as wealthy as Ye Qiu, could he really cook?

Ye Qiu went to the kitchen, cleaned all the freshly caught sea fish, removed the insides, some were used for grilled fish, similar to the domestic grilled fish.

Except domestically, grilled fish were mostly from rivers or pond reservoir farms.

Whereas now they were caught from the sea.

Another portion was used for making fish steaks, paired with the local red wine, surely it would be the best dish.

“Young Master Ye, do you need us to do anything?”

The middle-aged couple watched from the side.

“No need, just watch beside me.”

The middle-aged couple watched from aside.

The two noticed Ye Qiu’s skills didn’t seem bad at all! A cod weighing over ten pounds, quickly divided into many fish steaks, and then baked in the oven.

In fact, baking fish steaks in an oven doesn’t require advanced culinary skills; pan-frying them is what tests a person’s cooking expertise.

Ye Qiu baked and pan-fried.

…

After more than two hours of busy work, he grilled or pan-seared half of the sea fish into fish steaks.

The middle-aged couple standing by started drooling at the scent of the fish, only then realizing that this young master Ye indeed could cook.

Moreover, his cooking might even surpass theirs.

After sending the prepared fish steaks and grilled fish out separately through the middle-aged couple, Ye Qiu washed his hands and came out.

By now, it was past five in the afternoon, still early.

But from lunch till now, everyone’s a bit hungry.

Ye Qiu headed to the main dining hall, where Louise, Zhou Wenting, Wang Leshan, and Wang Xiaoling were waiting.

Seeing the golden fish steaks and grilled fish, these ladies felt that the fish might truly be a feast for the senses.

“Qiu, did you really cook this?”

Louise asked.

Earlier, Zhou Wenting had already told Louise that Ye Qiu had an Imperial Cuisine Restaurant in Jinling, which was one of the top-tier restaurants.

But Zhou Wenting also couldn’t believe that Ye Qiu taught the chefs there to cook the Imperial Cuisine dishes.

“These are quite basic, anyone can learn.”
