“Did you make this crucian carp soup?”

Xu Le nodded. “Yes.”

“Although I don’t eat fish… I like the food you make. Give me one serving.”

Many customers started ordering crucian carp soup on Xu Le’s behalf. Soon, seven bowls of soup were sold in the first two tables.

The five-inch flat soup bow! was filled with a large bowl of steaming milk-white fish soup. After adding some ground coriander on top, it could be served.

The warm fish soup was stirred with a spoon, and a mellow fragrance immediately wafted out. The customer tentatively frowned and took a sip. The sweet and milky white crucian carp soup bounced on her taste buds, and she immediately beamed with delight. She held up the bowl and took a big gulp.

“Mmm! There’s no fishy smell at all. It’s so delicious!”

“How did you make this soup? It’s as white as milk!”

The customers were all surprised and specially ordered Xu Le’s other dishes. “West Lake Vinegar Fish? What’s this… Give me a serving, will the fish bones get stuck in my throat?”“Uh,” Xu Le smiled and replied, “I didn’t remove the bones. Be careful when you eat.”

“Alright.”

Most of the customers’ fear of fish was nothing more than fish bones being stuck in their throats and the fishy smell. Xu Le prepared a dish of West Lake Vinegar Fish and served it to them. He even did a demonstration with his chopsticks.

“If you follow the texture of the fish meat down to the bones, it’s unlikely to pick up the bones. Remember to take a look before you eat. Don’t choke on it.”

“Alright.” The long-haired girl looked at Xu Le enviously and teased him on purpose. “You cook well and are a considerate man. Why are you so young? Grow up well. I’ll wait for you!”

“Eh

Xu Le was so shocked that he took a step back. “Sister, you’d better eat quickly. It won’t taste good if it’s cold.”

West Lake Vinegar Fish was as tender as tofu, and after it entered her mouth, it had the taste of crab meat. It was sweet and sour, and she couldn’t stop eating it!

He made two more fish dishes, each of which the fishy smell was completely removed, leaving only the freshness and sweetness of the fish meat. In one afternoon, the number of customers who came to order fish doubled.

‘When some of them came in, they shouted at the kitchen, “My friend came over this morning to eat. He said that this is the best fish he has ever eaten in his life!”

“There are a lot of restaurants in Bangkok that cook fish, but compared to your restaurant, they are completely wasting the fish!”

“How did you make this fish? It smells so good! Chinese cuisine is still the best.”

“Another sweet and sour fish. It’s not enough.”

The customers outside were enthusiastic and many of them were recommended to come by their friends. They pushed aside their work and rushed over. There was even someone who brought a Maine Coon that was as large as a huge dog.

“Give me some fish soup, don’t put salt in it.”

Xu Le poured out the last bowl of fish soup from the pot and said, “Even if there’s no salt added, there’s pepper. Little kitten… Ah no, can this big cat drin|

“Yes.”

Xu Le took a disposable bowl to scoop the fish soup and passed it to the cat.

The Maine Coon was huge, even among its breed. It looked more like a small lion.

Before the owner could bring the fish soup over, the cat smelled the fragrance and plunged into the bowl, drinking it.

It licked the fish soup and let out a happy snore.

Xu Le crossed his arms and watched from the side. The owner seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said, “Come and touch it too. My big cat is especially obedient and doesn’t bite.”

Xu Le reached out and touched it twice. The owner could not help but wipe his tears. “After bringing it home for a few months, it was diagnosed with an illness. At this stage, it is in extreme pain. Recently, we made contact with the euthanasia process. It could not eat anything all day and did not even have

the appetite to take a look at the cat food. I saw someone recommending the fish soup in your shop on Instagram and rushed over.”

Fortunately, it was not too late.

Xu Le exclaimed in his heart. After the cat finished licking the fish soup, it did not even want to let go of the bowl. Its teeth were like a stapler as it chewed holes in the plastic bowl.

“Okay, okay, it’s all done.”

‘The warm atmosphere here made the customers who entered the store unhappy.

“What’s wrong with your shop?! You can sell to cats, but you don’t even sell to people?”

“There’s no more? I drove here for three hours and you’re telling me that the fish soup is sold out?”

“Call your manager out!”

This was the first time a customer had lost his temper because he couldn’t eat. Bai Xiaoming was walking out of the kitchen when Xu Le interjected, “Don’t worry, there’s still one more fish dish today. There are only about ten servings left.”

“Why should I not be anxious? Look, even P guy has recommended this soup, so we rushed over here in a hurry!”

“What does it taste like? I can’t sleep until I drink it today!”

He didn’t expect that a simple and homely crucian carp soup would cause such a huge commotion in a foreign country. When Bai Xiaoming came out and heard the content of their argument, he was dumbfounded. He raised his hand, not knowing how to comfort him.

Xu Le petted the cat. Maine Coons looked fierce, but they were actually very soft and cute. It rubbed its head against his palm and called out softly. After having a bowl of fish soup, its stomach was bulging.

“Call out the head chef who makes the soup!”

“If you don’t have any more, just buy some ingredients to make it. It’s so simple. Anyway, I’ll wait here today. If I can’t drink it, I won’t leave.”

As he listened to the customers making a scene, Xu Le said slowly, “There are only ten servings of West Lake Vinegar Fish. If you don’t buy them now, there won’t be any left later.”

“We’re here for fish soup!”“The vinegar fish is also very delicious.” Xu Le said in a gentle tone, not panicking at all, “The carp soup is sold out today, and it’s not for sale anymore, please come tomorrow.”

His seemingly gentle but actually very unyielding attitude finally made the few customers who were shouting the loudest quiet down and sit down to order their dishes.

Bai Xiaoming came over excitedly and said, “Our turnover today has already exceeded three times what we expected! That’s great! Tonight, the production team invited us over for barbecue!”

Everyone celebrated happily. After sending off the last few customers, they cleaned up the front and back kitchen together. After cleaning up, they drove towards Bangkok’s largest night market.

Xu Le leaned against the car and sighed. “That’s great. I finally don’t have to sit on an electric scooter. I feel like I can fly whenever it passes a rock!”

“Hahahaha…”

Everyone laughed as Zhou Huangya said, “It’s all thanks to the little Master Chef’s help. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to reach the turnover even if we wait another week.”

“Yeah, you have to eat more barbecue later!”

“Haha, I think…” Zhang Liang said jokingly,” With your culinary skills, do you think you will take a fancy to their seafood? ”

His words came true. After Xu Le ate two skewers of grilled squid and oysters that were not yet cooked, he looked at the green onions at the side and raised his hand. “I want to make some seafood stir-fried with onion oil.. Can I borrow your pot?”
