The couple, Zhou Shui and his wife, both perked up their noses.
"How fragrant!"
Zhou Shui instinctively lifted his head, searching for the source of the delightful aroma. When he saw Chen Xuan approaching with a platter of Silver Fish, his eyes lit up. "Brother Chen, this fish smells amazing! Your cooking skills are impressive."
He couldn't wait to taste the fish.
Chen Xuan set down the Silver Fish. Following the culinary preferences of Jianghe City, he had prepared a dish of Scallion Oil Silver Fish. At that moment, four palm-sized Silver Fish were presented before everyone. The silver bodies of the fish contrasted beautifully with the green scallions, creating a stunning visual display.
The enticing fragrance wafted into everyone's nostrils, making it hard for them to resist picking up their chopsticks.
Xiao Hua looked at the colorful and aromatic Scallion Oil Silver Fish on the table and genuinely praised, "Xiao Chen, I didn’t realize you were such a skilled cook! Impressive!" She gave Chen Xuan a thumbs-up.
Chen Xuan smiled humbly. In truth, his cooking skills were quite ordinary. He had simply followed a home-style recipe for the Scallion Oil Silver Fish, without any special techniques or unique seasonings. Yet, this seemingly simple dish exuded an irresistible aroma.
When Chen Xuan made it for the first time, he was pleasantly surprised by how good it tasted. Later, he realized that the Silver Fish itself was an extraordinary ingredient; even the most basic cook could create flavors worthy of a state banquet!
Chen Xuan squinted at Zhou Shui and his family of three, eagerly anticipating their reactions.
"Mom, I want to eat fish!" Zhou Xiaohau exclaimed, his big eyes fixed on the Silver Fish on the table, saliva almost dripping from his mouth.
"You little glutton, let me get you some," Xiao Hua said affectionately as she patted Zhou Xiaohau's head. She picked up a pair of chopsticks and gently lifted a piece of Silver Fish. The chopsticks easily parted the scales; as she pried open the fish's body, tender white flesh was revealed instantly.
A more enchanting aroma burst forth, followed by a faint silver glow emanating from the belly of the Silver Fish.
Though subtle, it still caught the attention of Zhou Shui and his family of three.
"Ah! What is this?" Zhou Shui suddenly stood up, shock evident on his face as he pointed at the Scallion Oil Silver Fish on the table, his lips trembling, unable to articulate a single word for a long moment.
"President Zhou, don't be nervous," Chen Xuan said with a calm smile, his expression composed.
Zhou Shui stared wide-eyed, still shaken. He stammered, "Xiao Chen, did you see that fish glowing just now?"
"Yes!" Xiao Hua quickly nodded in agreement, her face equally astonished.
"Are you talking about this light?" Chen Xuan asked as he picked up a pair of chopsticks and casually opened the belly of a Silver Fish. Instantly, another silver glow appeared!
"This is it!" Zhou Shui exclaimed excitedly. "What on earth is this?"
Chen Xuan picked up a piece of fish meat and began chewing thoughtfully. "I’m not sure. As far as I know, every Silver Fish develops a silver glow in its belly after being cooked. It's quite miraculous."
Zhou Shui slowly sat back down, his expression filled with uncertainty as he hesitated with his chopsticks in hand.
Having amassed a fortune of over ten billion, Zhou Shui had seen and eaten countless types of fish.
A fish that glows after cooking? What an absurd claim!
His first instinct was to think that Chen Xuan was trying to deceive him. But then he reconsidered their relationship; given that he had come over on short notice today, Chen Xuan wouldn’t have gone out of his way to prepare such a thing.
After pondering for a moment, just as Zhou Shui was about to pick up some fish meat to taste it…
