Chương 39: Vessel Medicine Pharmacy's Transaction

Biên tập viên: Atlas Studios

Right now, Ning Fei was taking a ride, headed towards Vessel Medicine Pharmacy.

Master Jiang had transferred 3,000,000 yuan to him, so without a doubt, he would keep his promise to deliver the Curded Blood Lingzhi.

What was unexpected was that Jiang Feng was there to receive him personally at the VIP lounge.

"Hello. I'm Jiang Feng." Jiang Feng smiled as he extended his hand.

"Hello. The Curded Blood Lingzhi is here." After a handshake, Ning Fei passed the goods to him.

Jiang Feng was the young master of Vessel Medicine Pharmacy and the owner of the Jiang Corporation. He was worth tens of billions yuan and was a well-known man in China.

Jiang Feng was wearing a plain gray suit with no branded labels. Nonetheless, he looked refined and well-groomed. Of course, he had a good image too.

Ning Fei just hadn't expected that Jiang Feng would appear here. Jiang Feng was in fact his number one supporter.

Under such circumstances, it could be considered a private meetup between a fan and a webcaster. And there were all sorts of scandals and rumors about how female webcasters would meet up with their fans.

He couldn't be thinking of… that, right?

Jiang Feng opened the lid to check the Curded Blood Lingzhi before he closed it with a satisfied smile.

"Your webcast is interesting, and my sister and I enjoy watching it." Jiang Feng passed the box to his staff before he turned to talk to Ning Fei.

"Thank you," replied Ning Fei politely.

"Perhaps I could trouble you to cook once again." Jiang Feng looked rather awkward due to his abrupt request.

"You want me to cook?"

"Yes. My sister had a craving for roasted fish after watching your webcast, so I would like you to cook again. The price is negotiable. How about 100,000 yuan?"

Just for cooking a fish?!

Was money worth nothing to the rich at all?

It might not be considered much compared to the fees commanded by Michelin chefs, but it was certainly a hefty sum for local chefs.

But to Jiang Feng, 100,000 yuan was indeed negligible.

Jiang Xue didn't like to eat meat, and Jiang Feng knew that this was bad for her health. Jiang Xue required the protein and nutrition from meat for her illness.

Yesterday, Jiang Xue had suddenly remarked that she wanted to eat roasted fish and specifically asked for the one Ning Fei had made.

Thus, he had rushed down from the capital city to invite Ning Fei personally.

Jiang Feng would do anything for Jiang Xue.

"I'm not really a chef." Ning Fei shook his head to reject Jiang Feng.

"Hey, listen to me first." Jiang Feng hastily stopped Ning Fei after seeing how firm he was. He could tell that Ning Fei wasn't someone who could be bribed by money.

Ning Fei stared quietly at him.

Jiang Feng explained everything about Jiang Xue, and Ning Fei finally comprehended the situation.

"All right then." If that was the truth, Ning Fei had no reason to reject him.

"Let's go to the airport now. Then I can go home before tonight," said Ning Fei.

"I have a private plane. It would be much faster."

Ning Fei was speechless…

This was indeed the fastest trip Ning Fei had taken to the capital city. A huge amount of time was usually wasted on waiting and boarding. Taking a private plane solved all that.

On the way, Ning Fei suddenly thought of something. For the sake of his sister, Jiang Feng invited me to fly there personally. His sister seems to be a glutton.

Nowadays, the rich were often greedy and loved rich food. Could she be overweight?

I have never heard of the young mistress of the Jiang Corporation.

Anyway, he didn't dwell on these questions for too long as he would only be there to cook a meal.

The private plane landed in Jiang Feng's courtyard. His mansion was huge and luxurious. It resembled a manor.

The structure was rather unique, with modern rooms in the house and an antique-looking garden outside the mansion. There were a few pavilions too.

"My sister doesn't meet people often," both of them were walking side by side as Jiang Feng spoke softly.

Ning Fei had no idea how he should reply, so he merely gave a faint smile.

Ning Fei was composed and relaxed during the trip. He hadn't had much interest in anything else other than cooking this meal. The ingredients were already prepared.

In the garden, there were a few tables with all kinds of live fish. There were also the seasonings and herbs he had used yesterday, along with others.

This had exceeded Ning Fei's imagination.

"This is too much for a roasted fish." Ning Fei shook his head helplessly as he thought of the waste.

"Since my sister wants to eat, I decided to prepare more," answered Jiang Feng casually.

"Your sister…" Ning Fei was about to say something when a sweet and soft voice interjected.

"Brother!"

The voice was melodious and sweet, and she sounded like a charming young girl.

As Ning Fei turned around, his eyes fell on a young girl dressed in a white and pink traditional dress.

At the same time, Jiang Xue's eyes met Ning Fei's.

Both of them gazed at each other.

One second…

Two seconds…

Three seconds…

"Ahem," Jiang Feng coughed softly.

Chương 40: A Real Expert at Removing Scales and Deboning

"Brother," Jiang Xue said softly.

"Didn't you say that you wanted to eat the roasted fish? I invited him here," Jiang Feng said with a gentle smile.

Ning Fei was composed on the surface, but he was astonished deep inside.

Jiang Feng's sister was really pretty.

He was surprised.

It was as though she had walked out from an ancient painting. She was so pure and innocent, and looked like a flower ready to bloom.

According to Jiang Feng, this girl was being plagued by an illness and might not be able to live long.

Without further consideration, he decided to focus his efforts on cooking the fish.

At this time, Ning Fei noticed a chef in white. He was also quick and observant enough to spot the golden label on his chest.

All professional chefs in China would go for tests to receive their certificates. These certifications were categorized by levels from Basic, Medium, High, Expert, to Advanced Expert.

Fang Hu was a well-known chef from the Culinary Association invited here by Jiang Feng. He was the one in charge of Jiang Feng's meals and was very responsible.

When he heard that someone would be cooking for Jiang Xue, he had come for two purposes. The first was to inspect him, and the second was to supervise.

In fact, Fang Hu hadn't believed that an outdoor webcaster would be able to whip up something decent. However, he respected Jiang Feng, and so, he didn't say anything.

This was especially so when Fang Hu saw that Ning Fei was a young and good-looking man. In his heart, he was feeling slightly contemptuous.

All real chefs should be fat and strong.

This had some truth to it. Firstly, a chef needed strength in both his wrists and arms, and during their job, they would have to train their strength. Chefs also constantly tried and tasted new food, so naturally, they would gain weight.

Therefore, once an experienced chef had taken a look at another chef's arms and wrist, he would be able to know how good he was.

Another glance at Ning Fei confirmed that he was merely a pretty vase. He was lean and trim and didn't look strong at all.

Miss Jiang had probably taken a liking to his looks, and that was why she had invited him.

Fang Hu pressed his lips grimly at the thought.

Good-looking men wouldn't know how to cook, and men who cooked weren't good-looking.

That was what he believed.

Ning Fei had already begun.

The first thing he did was to wash the fish. Jiang Feng had selected fish of the highest quality, which seemed to be fed with a special diet.

"There you are." Ning Fei chose a fish in the tank with a satisfied smile. "I didn't think that you would be able to find a wild Split Belly Fish as it only grows in the icy rivers in the Qinghai plateau. Its flesh is sweet and tender, and a wild Split Belly Fish cost a fortune. Excellent."

Normal people might not think much when they heard Ning Fei, but Fang Hu had widened his eyes at this.

Ning Fei was right as it was indeed a wild Split Belly Fish. A wild Split Belly Fish was smaller than those reared on a farm. It was also more agile and active, so their flesh was much better.

He hadn't expected that Ning Fei would be able to recognize a Split Belly Fish, and he even knew that it was a wild one.

He did indeed possess some knowledge.

But perhaps, this was something he had seen before.

Next, Ning Fei scraped off the scales and cleaned the fish. His knife moved swiftly, and the onlookers were dazzled by his movements. That knife seemed to be dancing wildly in his hand.

Jiang Xue didn't dare to watch Ning Fei killing the fish. She had turned around, while Jiang Feng continued watching, impressed with his skills.

Fang Hu had gone speechless as he widened his eyes.

"Was he… scraping the scales? He is actually scraping…"

He gasped aloud.

Usually, people merely scraped off some scales before cooking. Fish scales affected the taste of the fish and the texture of the flesh.

But Ning Fei's skills had left Fang Hu dumbstruck.

He had used his knife to remove the scales by slicing a thin layer off. In that way, he had deftly removed all the scales cleanly.

Although that sounded simple, it was very hard to execute. One had to be precise with one's strength, accuracy, and direction.

Not many chefs could remove fish scales in such a clean manner.

"Master Jiang, where did you find him? Who was his master?" Fang Hu couldn't help but question Jiang Feng.

At this time, all traces of contempt had vanished. Instead, he looked excited. Even he could not display such excellent skills when removing a fish's scales.

Jiang Feng chuckled and replied, "You can ask him later."

Fang Hu nodded before reverting his attention back to Ning Fei.

At this time, Ning Fei had lightly waved his knife in a few motions before he deboned the entire fish as a single piece. He moved at lightning speed and left everyone speechless when the bone slid out from the stomach.

"Deboning?" Fang Hu's jaws dropped, and his eyes were round and wide. Disbelief was etched on his face.

How could this man display this long lost skill of shaving a fish's bones?

The traditional cooking skills had been passed down centuries ago. As time went by, many brilliant methods and skills had been lost in the process.

And the skill of deboning a fish using the shaving method had long been lost.

Fang Hu had heard from his master that there was once an expert who could slice a fish to remove the bones and leave the entire fish intact. By doing so, the aesthetic look of the fish would be presented perfectly.

He had assumed that it was some myth or story passed down from generation to generation. It was even likely that the story had been exaggerated.

However, now that he had witnessed it with his own eyes, he had gotten a huge shock.

This young man was such an expert!
