Chapter 2373: The Glittering Large Yellow Croaker!

Hera looked at the golden price silently for a moment before quickly reaching a consensus with Vivian. She nodded. “I think this is a good suggestion. Let’s share a steamed large yellow croaker then. Anyway, we definitely can’t finish such a big fish alone.”

The young ladies chipping in to try out something they liked had become some kind of a trend among the Chaos City’s youths.

And the three young ladies present knew one another’s background very well.

The Hope School’s teachers’ salary was only 3000 to 5000 monthly. It was enough to eat a spicy grilled fish, but definitely not enough to eat a large yellow croaker.

Of course, they wouldn’t have entered this restaurant if they had to live on their salary.

Meli looked at the golden large yellow croaker on the menu. She still wasn’t very excited about it, but seeing that her two colleagues were so excited about it, she nodded too. “I think we should.”

Vivian smiled even brighter. She turned to order from Miya, who had just walked over to them. She also ordered a spicy grilled fish for herself.

Mamy Restaurant was the only place where she could taste the new product while eating her favorite spicy grilled fish at the same time.

“Y-you ordered two fishes?” Hera, who was about to order two more dishes, looked at Vivian with shock.

“Yes. I love to eat spicy grilled fish. I will order it every time I come to Mamy Restaurant.” Vivian nodded with a smile before emphasizing, “I only ordered it for myself. Do you want it as well?”

Hera immediately shook her head. “It’s fine for us. We’ll have the steamed large yellow croaker for a fish dish. We intend to order one helping of red braised pork and one helping of the eggplant with garlic sauce to eat with the rice.”

Vivian nodded and didn’t say anything else.

As the new product, the steamed large yellow croaker attracted a lot of attention from the customers.

However, the shiny price of 5,000 copper coins stopped many customers.

This was the most expensive dish on Mamy Restaurant’s menu currently, other than the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ which could cure baldness.

Many customers could afford it, but as usual, they wanted someone brave to test out the expensive new product first.

Hence, when Vivian ordered the steamed large yellow croaker, everyone gave her an appreciative look.

Miya acknowledged her with a smile. She was already used to the customers’ behavior. She reported the large yellow croaker’s order to the back kitchen.

The steamed large yellow croaker was a great delicacy. She had already tasted it during their previous island trip. That extreme fresh umami was completely different from the spicy grilled fish and the steamed fish head with diced hot red peppers.

Mag, who long noticed the three Hope School teachers sitting at the same table, lamented that the rich had all gone to be teachers nowadays as he grabbed a live large yellow croaker from the tank and began to process it.

There was only one large yellow croaker in the semi-transparent tank. The tank will replenish one large yellow croaker after one was removed to ensure that every one of them was freshly supplied to the restaurant’s back kitchen from the deep sea directly.

Wild large yellow croaker was also a precious seafood in his previous life. The live top grade one kilogram large yellow croaker with golden scales in Mag’s hand could easily fetch tens of copper coins.

And in Mamy Restaurant, you could easily taste a steamed large yellow croaker made by a top chef with just 5,000 copper coins!

This was a very reasonable price, okay!

The processed large yellow croaker was being put aside to marinate simply before being steamed in the pot.

The very best ingredient usually only needed the most simple form of cooking.

A live top grade ingredient like the large yellow croaker didn’t need a lot of side ingredients to suppress its fishiness or a lot of condiments to complement its taste.

A golden large yellow croaker was done after being steamed in the specially-made steaming pot for three minutes.

Mag cut the fish open at the back and placed it on the plate with its belly still joined together.

The large yellow croaker’s dense scales weren’t removed and they were still giving out a glaring golden glow after being steamed. After scattering some shredded ginger and chopped green onions over it, the aroma began to spread.

When Yabemiya brought the steamed large yellow croaker out from the kitchen, a beam of light happened to fall onto the large yellow croaker on the tray and the glaring beam made everyone in the restaurant widen their eyes.

The large yellow croaker’s enticing aroma made the customers sitting near the aisle almost unable to swallow their saliva.

Different from the strong aroma of the spicy grilled fish, the steamed large yellow croaker’s aroma was milder, like a well-bred lady who only revealed her shoulders. It made people feel comfortable yet unable to stop salivating at the same time.

Yabemiya put the fish in front of Vivian and the ladies and smilingly said, “Your steamed large yellow croaker.”

“Wow. It looks good. There is actually such a pretty fish!” A golden light was reflected in Hera’s eyes.

“It looks rather bland?” Vivian was a little hesitant.

As the spicy grilled fish’s loyal fan, Vivian really felt that this steamed large yellow croaker without a single piece of chili looked rather bland. She wondered if she would like it. She even wondered if the fishiness could be suppressed.

Meli, who looked rather dejected at first, moved her nostrils. Her eyes glowed when she saw the intricately plated and colorful large yellow croaker.

Her sleep and appetite had been bad due to stress lately. Looking at the large yellow croaker that looked so beautiful, and smelling that fresh umami, she began to salivate.

Hera picked up her chopsticks and asked the other two people, “Shall we taste it?”

“Of course.” Vivian also picked up her chopsticks. Since the dish was already served, there was no way she wasn’t going to try it. Anyway, she still had one spicy grilled fish coming.

“Let’s try it.” Meli nodded. She picked up a piece of fish meat near to the tail with her chopsticks.

The small scales fell away as soon as they were touched, revealing the tender and white fish meat. She dipped the meat in the sauce on the plate before feeding it into her mouth.

Meli’s calm face froze instantly before making an unbelievable expression.

This fish meat had a very fresh and tender texture. It was rich and full of umami, smooth and refreshing. The savory sauce didn’t cover the fish’s umami. The tender fish meat had an extreme sweetness.

This looked like a very simple dish with its steaming method and minimum condiments and spices.

However, it was this simple cooking method that had perfectly displayed the umami of this large yellow croaker.

The taste buds seemed to be caressed by the spring rain. The tender fish meat transformed into a warm stream and flowed into the stomach through the throat. Then, as though threads of weird sensations began to rise to her head, it made her relax her tensed-up nerves.

Meli tried to control her agitated voice as she praised it. “This incredible taste. Th-this fish should have come straight from the sea, right?”
