On the 20th day of the eighth lunar month, catfish come to celebrate birthdays.

This old saying is often mentioned in Maxima.

The main thing is that the squid meat is fresh and tender, very delicious.

Zhang Jinyu wanted to learn how to make this dish, so when Fu Yu was cooking, he would add a few extra words.

"Knocking fish is made in a unique and very elegant way. We choose squid with few spines and thick meat. After peeling and deboning, cut the fish into two halves from the back, and then cut into 5 cm square fish fillets with a thickness of about 0.5 cm. Put the starch on it, and use a rolling pin to slowly beat it into a round piece as thin as a cicada's wing on a chopping board."

Fu Yu recounted the method of making the classic old-flavored recipes intact.

Zhang Jinyu was speechless.

He has never been sure how to measure this fish fillet, which is 5 cm square and 0.5 cm thick.

When Fu Yu thought of himself, he could quite understand Zhang Jinyu's embarrassment.

If there is no absolute hand feeling blessing, in fact, he was also like this before. The most annoying thing is the "appropriate amount", "approximately" and "a small amount", as well as the clearly defined thickness. For him, it is simply troublesome and he can't grasp it at all.

So Fu Yu deliberately asked Zhang Jinyu to reach out and feel the thickness of the fish fillet: "Remember this feeling, and when you encounter such a dish in the future, it will be almost enough depending on the feel."

Zhang Jinyu nodded. Although the fish fillet felt very thin in his hand, and he couldn't grasp the specific feel at all, he still studied it seriously.

Fu Yu cut the squid into 1 cm thick slices.

Put cornstarch on a chopping board, put the fish fillets on top, sprinkle a layer of cornstarch on top of the fish, beat with a mallet or rolling pin until the skin is thin.

While pounding, Fu Yu warned: "When pounding the fish fillets, add raw powder in batches while beating. Don't beat too much powder, it will affect the taste."

Zhang Jinyu memorized it carefully.

Fu Yu put the knocked fish fillets in a boiling water pot at 80 or 90 degrees, boiled them on high heat for about 40 seconds, took them out and cut them into strips.

"When cooking fish fillets, never use cold water in the pot, otherwise the fish soup will not be clear."

Zhang Jinyu nodded: "Okay."

Fu Yu took another pot and put the chicken breast in, put it in the pot with cold water, bring to a boil on high heat, blanch for 3 minutes and remove.

Shred cooked ham, shiitake mushrooms, and cooked chicken breast for later use.

Fu Yu added: "When shredding, be careful not to be too thin, but not too thick, because the taste and the effect of the plate must be considered."

Then, blanch the cabbage in a pot of boiling water for a while.

Finally, put clear soup in the pot.

Add fish fillets, cabbage sum, salt, and cooking wine.

After boiling, add shredded shiitake mushrooms, shredded cooked chicken breast, shredded cooked ham, monosodium glutamate, a little pepper, and drizzle with cooked chicken oil.

When packing the box, there is just the amount left at the bottom of a bowl.

Fu Yusheng came out and took a sip with a spoon.

It is indeed as described in the classic old taste recipe, the soup is clear and mellow, tender and smooth.

After Zhang Jinyu waited for Fu Yu to taste it, he took a bowl and drank the rest of the soup.

Then he smacked his lips: "It's so fresh!"

Fu Yu then made braised water and fish ball soup.

There are fish cakes in the fish cake shop, Fu Yu's cooking is finished, and Bai An's fish cakes are also out of the pan.

After successfully completing the packing of four dishes, one soup and one staple food, Fu Yu continued to take orders and cook the next table dish.

The food passer quickly delivered the packaged meals to the front hall.

Maxima’s packed food boxes are very beautiful. They are thin wooden boxes. You don’t have to worry about the bag breaking when you carry them. The food boxes inside are made of glass. Although they are heavy, you don’t have to worry about the smell caused by overheated dishes.

Although I didn't see the dishes inside, Li Weijia felt very satisfied just looking at the packing box.

Full of anticipation, he rushed back to the hospital with a packed box.

In the waiting ward, there are six pregnant women living in one room. There are many family members surrounded by each person's bed, and they are busy serving them.

Even through the curtain, it still looked chaotic, but no one felt upset.

Because they all came here to wait for the production, everyone was beaming, looking expectant and nervous.

Li Weijia's wife was in hospital bed No. 3, and family members from both sides came here, except his parents, his eldest sister, and his wife's best friend.

A large group of people crowded together in front of the hospital bed, surrounding his wife asking for her health and well-being.

His wife had a normal delivery, and the due date is today.

But now it's nighttime, and the labor pains haven't started yet.

The whole family dared not take a step away, for fear that no one would take care of them at critical moments.

Li Weijia saw his wife lying on the bed with a big belly, accompanied by the whole family, and an indescribable touch suddenly surged in his heart.

He walked over quickly and greeted with a smile: "I'm back!"

Immediately everyone's attention was focused on him.

Li Weijia handed over the packing box in his hand as if offering a treasure, his mother reached out to take it, and hurriedly called the others to prepare the dining table.

His wife smiled and asked, "Where did you buy this? The packing box looks really decent!"

Li Weijia asked for credit: "Didn't you say that you want to eat the food from your hometown? I specially ordered it from Maxima. Take a look, is it the same as what you usually eat at home?"

His wife suddenly looked surprised: "Seafood? It's so good, I'm so greedy for this!"

His mother-in-law was moved and said helplessly: "Wei Jia, just let her get used to it, there's nothing special about the food at home, it's all seafood, it's fine when it's cooked, and it's even specially made to go all the way. once, really"

Li Weijia hurriedly said: "My wife is greedy for this, which means that the child in her belly wants to eat too. I buy one, and both of us can eat it. I don't have to worry about it. I am happy!"

His mother also smiled and said, "That's right, try it quickly, if it's delicious, I'll ask him to buy it tomorrow!"

The son-in-law knows how to love his wife, and he is happy to be a mother-in-law.

Seeing the in-laws pampering their daughter as much as their own, they couldn't help unpacking the box with a smile on their faces.

The outermost layer of wooden cover was lifted, and I didn't feel anything. When I opened the tight and tight cover of the packed lunch box inside, a strong seafood fragrance came to my nostrils.

Several lunch boxes were opened one after another, filling the dining table.

Because Maxima uses high-quality thermal insulation packing boxes, and Li Weijia drove all the way back in a hurry, the food still looked steaming hot.

His wife was surrounded by the stars and the moon, and the family watched her happily inspect each dish, then picked up the tableware, eagerly picked up the closest one, and started to taste.

Eat the vegetables first, then drink the soup, and finally eat a piece of delicious fish cake.

Li Weijia asked expectantly: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

While eating the food, his wife said vaguely, "It's delicious! It's very similar to the one in my hometown! Especially this prawn dish, it tastes like my mother's!"

His mother-in-law looked at her daughter's delicious food, and smiled from ear to ear: "It's delicious, don't eat too much, and when you go back to give birth, you can't be too full!"
