Chapter 199 Aquarium
It was already past 3 o'clock after eating Chaoshou. The notes he took last night, including the 100 tips for winning a first date that Wang Hao taught him, Jiang Feng had almost forgotten after a bowl of Chaoshou.
Just kidding, the men of the Jiang family all rely on talent to fall in love and never need any external help such as love secrets.
Hey, last night Wang Hao told him what he should do after lunch?
Jiang Feng's first date encountered an unprecedented crisis.
It's even more dangerous than the bad movie I watched this morning.
Jiang Feng continued washing the dishes and clearing the table without showing any signs of expression. The computer in his brain began to quickly search for all the strategies he had done last night.
aquarium?
Going to the mall?
Drinking coffee?
Clip doll?
In the end, Jiang Feng chose the aquarium from the bottom of his heart, mainly because he wanted to go.
He, Jiang Feng, has never been to an aquarium successfully since he was a child. Today is the time to break this curse!
Putting the washed dishes back into the cupboard, Jiang Feng shook off the water on his hands and said to Wu Minqi, who didn't know who he was messaging with: "It's only 3 o'clock, why don't we go to the aquarium? There will be a sea lion show at 5 o'clock." Performance, just in time.”
"Okay." Wu Minqi put away her phone and said with a smile.
The aquarium is directly opposite the east gate of the mall. It was just built last year. It can be regarded as the largest aquarium in City A. It is many times better than the old aquarium in City Z that Jiang Feng had always wanted to go to when he was a child.
Anyone who has watched domestic idol dramas knows what it is like in an aquarium. After all, the aquarium is a dating mecca for male and female protagonists in idol dramas. Confessions, meals, encounters, love at first sight, and villains' mischief can basically all happen here. The director and the silly heroine can use a variety of beautiful shots to show the audience how beautiful, blue and mysterious the aquarium is.
And expensive.
Since it was the weekend and the spring was bright, it was a great time for children to ask to come out to play, for couples to go out on dates, and for the aquarium to rob tourists.
Jiang Feng, who had never been out to play before, brought a pack of props for emergencies, but he did not bring a half-price weapon like his student ID card.
But there were quite a few people visiting the aquarium in the afternoon. After queuing for a few minutes, Jiang Feng successfully bought two tickets. Wu Minqi was waiting for him at the intersection, with a cup of milk tea in her hand.
"Here you go, caramel macchiato, 70% sugar, room temperature." Wu Minqi handed the milk tea to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng took the milk tea and took a sip. The sweet caramel macchiato passed through his mouth and slid down his esophagus into his stomach, sweetening his heart.
The two walked in together holding hands.
Jiang Feng didn't recognize most of the marine fish and tropical fish in the aquarium. He generally recognized only the fish that could be eaten on the dinner table. There was no need to know this kind of fish that was destined to never be eaten on the Jiang family's dining table.
The aquarium is basically a long corridor with dim light, mostly cold blue light. You can see young couples in twos and threes everywhere. In a small corner, you and I are just looking at each other, not at the fish. The woman is holding a cup of milk tea in her hand, with a smile in her eyes.
Jiang Feng glanced at the milk tea in his hand.
……
An extremely ugly large octopus was lying on the large glass tank, its sucking tentacles facing Jiang Feng.
What a good octopus, it will taste great when used as takoyaki.
"It stopped just in front of you. It must like you very much." Wu Minqi said with a smile.
"Someone has already liked me first, so he has to wait in line." Jiang Feng said, "Should we eat here or go out for dinner later? I read the comments that this restaurant in the aquarium is very interesting."
"Anything is fine." Wu Minqi said with a smile.
The two of them looked at the big octopus in front of them quietly. Jiang Feng's mind was filled with how to make takoyaki.
"Hey, the fish in the aquarium are so pitiful. They are all locked up here and cannot go home." The woman of a young couple next to her sighed with emotion.
Jiang Feng:...
"Hey, what is this, a loach?" Wu Minqi pointed to the bottom of the aquarium.
Jiang Feng was instantly attracted, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a loach.
"It should be used to feed fish." Jiang Feng guessed, and the way to make takoyaki in his mind instantly changed to dry-fried small loaches. "After spitting out the mud to remove the fishy smell, this kind of finger-long loach is fried directly in oil. , not to mention the fragrance. ”
"A slightly larger one can be used as a loach pot." Wu Minqi agreed.
"There are also stir-fried loaches, as long as they are not particularly big, stewed in sauce is actually good." Jiang Feng began to think about 100 ways to make loach in his mind, "I remember that my dad made loach stewed with tofu and it was quite fresh. ”
"Loach stewed with tofu? I have never eaten it. When I was a child, I only ate the red date loach soup made by my aunt. I scalded the loach directly with boiling water, added red dates, white tree, angelica, wolfberry, yam and red rice wine. It was ready in half an hour. If you can, I can cook this dish for you next week." Wu Minqi suggested.
"It's too troublesome to deal with the loach. It takes a long time to wait for it to spit out sand and remove the fishy smell."
"No trouble."
"Hey, is the sea lion show about to start? Let's go there now. We won't be able to get a good seat if it's too late." Jiang Feng held Wu Minqi's hand very naturally.
"Okay."
The two held hands and drifted away.
The young couple standing next to them doubted life.
The weird girlfriend looked at their leaving figures, swallowed silently, and suggested to her boyfriend: "Shall we eat loach tonight?"
"Okay, let's eat the loach!"
"What kind of loach pot? You must eat dry-fried small loach!"
……
After watching the sea lion show, the two wandered around the aquarium for a while, focusing on evaluating tuna, pomfret, moray eel, cod and hairtail. Although they don’t know why hairtail accidentally entered the aquarium, they may just use it to make up for the numbers. Yes, after all, it is also one of the sea fish, but it is undeniable that this trip to the aquarium was very satisfying.
Jiang Feng said that the Jiang family has a natural talent for falling in love!
Dinner was eaten at the restaurant in the aquarium. It is a themed restaurant and the ingredients are mainly fish. I just watched it and eat it now, so that you can experience the ultimate pleasure of eating and seeing at the same time.
By coincidence, Jiang Feng discovered that the quarrelsome couple happened to be at the next table.
They arrived earlier than Jiang Feng and Wu Minqi, and the food had already been served. There was a plate of dry-fried small loaches on the table. It seemed that the chef's skills were pretty good, and he controlled the heat very well.
Wu Minqi gave the ordering power to Wu Minqi, who ordered a dry-fried loach, a braised cod and a takoyaki.
"Have you thought about the dishes for the finals?" Wu Minqi asked.
"Not yet." Jiang Feng had a headache when he thought of this. It was a little easier to use ingredients as the theme, but Jiang Feng really couldn't think of what to do with the original intention as the theme.
"Guli must be making golden shumai. That dish is also a dish in the Manchu-Han banquet. It turns out that I ate what Master Tan made when he was still alive. If he can really make the taste of Master Tan, then In the finals, you might just..." Wu Minqi looked embarrassed, not wanting to pour cold water on Jiang Feng.
"With his level, it's not unfair for me to lose to him." Jiang Feng was very free and easy about this. If Wu Minqi hadn't confessed to him before going on stage and added a buff to him, he wouldn't have even been able to enter the finals. "I'll be here for the next two days. Decide on the dishes. I still have to think about what to do. By the way, what are you going to do?”
"Ants climb trees." As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter brought dry fried small loaches to the table.
The dry-fried small loach is freshly baked, steaming and crispy on both sides. Only a little salt is sprinkled on the surface to bring out the umami flavor of the loach itself.
It's crispy and delicious, the bones are fried crispy, and a small loach can be eaten in two or three bites.
The quality of the ingredients itself is good enough. It only needs simple salt for seasoning and it is already very delicious. I can't stop eating one after another.
"I didn't expect their loach to be quite fresh." Jiang Feng sighed, "Why do you want to make ants climbing a tree? I feel like you don't usually cook this dish."
"I don't usually cook it, mainly because it's my dad's specialty, and I don't cook it much in my store, so I don't have the habit of cooking it." Wu Minqi picked up a small loach and looked at it repeatedly. Fan, "A little too much salt."
"But the theme of the competition is original intention. This dish is the first and only dish my dad taught me. My grandfather is usually responsible for teaching the juniors in our family. When I heard that question, I was the first to The reaction was this dish," Wu Minqi explained.
Jiang Feng nodded thoughtfully.
In fact, when he heard Chu Xin’s topic, his first reaction was the preserved egg and lean meat porridge he cooked during the summer vacation.
Now that I think about it, that pot doesn't look very good. It's all preserved egg and lean meat porridge made according to the recipes and videos on the Internet. However, it is the first time since the third grade of junior high school that he has cooked in the kitchen seriously and studied it carefully. cooking.
To a certain extent, this is indeed his original intention.
At that time, he just wanted to make a delicious preserved egg and lean meat porridge that would make Chen Xiuxiu drink two more mouthfuls. This was not only to complete the task, but also to stop Chen Xiuxiu from using suicidal dieting methods to lose weight.
When it comes to completing tasks, we have to mention this game that is often stuck with bugs.
Yesterday, Jiang Feng was stunned by the sudden confession. All he could think about was, holy shit, I'm in love, shit, I have a girlfriend, shit, I'm not single anymore, and he ignored the most fundamental bug of this game.
Obviously he has defeated Wu Minqi 1V1 head-on, but the [Peer Challenge] task has never been shown to be completed, and the task progress has always been (0/1). Jiang Feng has to wonder if the game is running away with the kitchen knife that rewarded him. On the way.
It's just a kitchen knife, right?
Jiang Feng had just praised this game as an angel yesterday, and wanted to complain about it today.
The wedding ring was given so readily, but the kitchen knife was delayed. He would rather have a game card bug than release it. Jiang Feng really had to wonder whether this game was for chefs or for love development.
The three dishes were served quickly. The chef's skills were pretty good and the ingredients were very fresh. Jiang Feng even suspected that they were caught freshly from the water tank. After all, there were quite a lot of edible sea fish in a large glass tank.
After dinner, Jiang Feng didn't call for a taxi. The two of them took the subway back to University A together.
Calling a car to go to the mall in the morning is to show that the man values the woman, and taking the subway back to school in the evening is for the fun of holding hands in a crowd.
——by Wang Hao
At around eight o'clock in the evening, the two of them separated at the school gate. They went back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers and report the results of today's date to their respective parents.
Wang Xiulian and Jiang Jiankang were restless in the Healthy Restaurant. Jiang Jiankang, in particular, was very afraid that Jiang Feng would follow in his footsteps when he thought of the bad things he did on their first date.
"Damn it!" Jiang Jiankang jumped up when he saw Jiang Feng, "How was today? What did you do?"
Jiang Feng thought for a while and concluded: "It's good. After watching the movie, we went to the vegetable market. Qiqi made me a dragon's hand and bought me a cup of brown sugar macchiato with 70% sugar and room temperature. We went shopping in the afternoon. At the aquarium, the dry-fried loach for dinner was sprinkled with a little too much salt, the octopus in the takoyaki was quite fresh, and the braised cod was okay.”
Comrade Wang Xiulian smiled and said: "Look at how considerate Qiqi is, and I know you like to drink brown sugar macchiato with 70% sugar."
On the other side, Wu Minqi is also reporting and summarizing with Wu’s mother.
"Jiang Feng bought me a cup of warm lemon black tea and took me to the aquarium. The dry-fried loach in the evening was sprinkled with too much salt, but he didn't seem to eat it. The braised cod was a bit heavy, but the fish meat was quite good. The fresh ones should be freshly killed..."
"Oh, I see how much Xiaofeng cares about you, and I also know that you like to drink lemon black tea." Mother Wu said with a smile.
"Heh." Wu Hanxue didn't want to speak.
"By the way, do you still remember the proportion of ingredients in the red date and loach soup made by auntie?" Wu Minqi asked.
"Are you going to drink it for that brat?" Wu Hanxue looked even more unkind.
"What a brat, look at your WeChat and don't talk. I'm chatting with my daughter." Wu's mother gave Wu Han a "kind" smile, "It's okay Qiqi, I'll ask your aunt for it tomorrow, and I'll go find out more." Where can I buy fresher loach here? This soup is good and filling! ”
"Yeah." Wu Minqi smiled slightly.
In the healthy stir-fry restaurant, Jiang Feng, who was setting up tables and chairs with Ji Yue, seemed to remember something, and turned to ask Jiang Jiankang: "Dad, please find time in a few days to teach me how to make loach stewed tofu."
"Loach stewed with tofu?" Jiang Jiankang scratched his head, "Okay, why did you remember to make this dish?"
"It's nothing, I just suddenly want to learn."
Today, the healthy cooking restaurant closed early. Jiang Feng and Ji Yue each carried four bags of garbage with both hands and threw them to the nearby garbage station.
"I'm afraid it's not you who wants to learn loach stewed tofu, but someone who wants to eat it, right?" Ji Yue had a smile on her face that even though I'm single, I know it well, "By the way, how was the movie you guys watched this morning? I’m going to see it tomorrow afternoon.”
Jiang Feng suddenly remembered the unbearable memories of the morning, and his three views that were shattered along with the movie.
"It's very good. It's very touching. It's worth watching this year's best!" Jiang Feng said sincerely, "The girl sitting in front of me even cried when she saw it!"
"Ding, get 66 points of lie proficiency."
Shut up! (End of chapter)
