Chapter 469: Mudun Island

When the peregrine falcon landed at the Meihua Airport in Sikong City, Ye Qing had a hard experience at this time. What is the shining scenery, which attracted much attention?

The Sikong Crab Festival, although it was still not well-known, it had already gained a certain reputation. Many fishery merchants from all over the country and Southeast Asian fishery tycoons had personally come to discuss the rich fishery resources here, those guests who received the invitation letter were accompanied by a special receptionist after getting off the plane.

But when Ye Qing’s private plane had landed, he was already waited by the welcoming previously present, and they had extended a big red carpet from the aircraft cabin to Ye Qing’s car. His car was a Mercedes-Benz G 65, and it was driven to the Four Commons by the company driver early in the morning, because this trip was mainly for fun, Mercedes-Benz G 65’s large space and strong off-road ability were very suitable for outdoor running.

The director of the Tourism Bureau, the executive deputy mayor, and several entrepreneurs who were well known in the Four Commons had greeted his arrival at the airport.

Although this ceremony did not cost much money, it was a little big and a little grand. The passengers on the passenger plane looked in astonishment at the newcomer, even Ye Qing himself was very surprised. He was just invited to participate in an event, so he thought he wouldn’t have such a big reception ceremony...

Now the Crab Festival in Sikong City has been blasted on the headlines of major Internet. Even some foreign websites had reposted the news of the Crab Festival. These were just fame aspects, and the benefits of the real deals were even more.

Starting at ten in the morning. The traffic police squadrons stationed at the intersections of the external roads in Sikong City could obviously feel the increase in the traffic flow, this extra traffic has consisted of private cars from other places and most of them were tourists dragging their families, they had all expressed that they would bring their children to the Crab Festival to see the robot army. The local parents and young men and women had long been squeezing the gymnasium. Thousands of robots were surrounded by tourists watching with excitement.

...............

At eleven o’clock, Ye Qing, accompanied by the Director of the Tourism Bureau, had ridden a painting boat, wandering in the wetland park with great interest. It was winter now, but the scenery in front of Ye Qing’s eyes was not all yellowed reeds and weeds with frost, there were various birds that stayed here for overwintering, plum blossoms with colorful petals and vigorous winter bamboos which could be seen everywhere on the shore.

Occasionally, the goshawk that was flicking its wings could always provoke the tourists on the painting boat, and they were casting admirable glances at it. No one knew how long it had taken, and a hazy outline of an island has appeared on the misty lake. It was Mudun Island, the largest island in Hongze Lake.

According to legend, Mudun Island was the place where Mu Guiying, a female high school hero in the Song Dynasty, stationed troops. Up to now, Mudun Island has been transformed into a resort by the Sikong City Township, and it was still a kind of hot spring, and at noon there would be a banquet here for Ye Qing, and then at two o’clock in the afternoon, he should participate in the opening of the crab festival.

Originally Bai Douer agreed to come to the banquet with Ye Qing, but the plane hadn’t landed yet. She, who had been busy with filming all night, couldn’t help being sleepy anymore and fell asleep in Ye Qing’s arms.

No matter if she didn’t come with him, he felt that taking a boat to the island to eat a meal would not have anything new except for its style. In addition in Sikong City, there was no famous food. Ye Qing left her in the aircraft cabin to rest, and when she would wake up, she could come directly to the gymnasium.

Eating meal foods on big lakes and big islands was naturally related to fish.

Speaking of eating fish, Ye Qing remembered the last time he was in Jinxi, the fish he had eaten was particularly delicious. This time Ye Qing had estimated it should be the same as last time. After all, there were only a few kinds of freshwater fish that were delicious, unlike the thousands in the sea that could be eaten.

As a result, when the food came up, Ye Qing found that he had really underestimated the true love of people for food in the four communities, he didn’t even know a few of the dishes. For example, it obviously looked like a meatball with a lion’s head and it was super tender and smooth in the mouth.

The director of the Tourism Bureau had smiled and introduced that this was a lion head made from wild herring, fish glue, mixed with pork, and then steamed, and it could only be eaten in winter.

Because wild herring, only when winter comes and enters the dormant period, they eat fish and shrimp screws fiercely and store a thick layer of gelatinous nutrients in their stomachs for overwintering. Wild herring was not too expensive, the key was Ye Qing had never eaten this kind of food, and it was very delicious.

The final dish was a steamed fish that looked ordinary, and it had an uncommon name "Liu Wei Steamed Fish", this steamed fish lied on a large white porcelain plate with gold traces. The plate was decorated with shredded green onions and basil, which looked very elegant and simple, Ye Qing knew that this fish was not too expensive mandarin fish like the big one on the plate, it was only a few hundred Yuan. However, this dish had been passed down on Mudun Island for hundreds of years, and currently, only one chef could cook it.

To make this dish, you need to carefully prepare six mandarin fish that live in different waters, and you also need six skilled chefs to work together.

The chef has to make a knife around the head of one of the mandarin fish, peel off the whole fish skin intact, and then remove the whole fish from the bone. The other five chefs with superb knife skills must kill the fish at the same time. They cut the fresh and tender fish into thin fillets and marinate them in six kinds of cooking wine that have been prepared in advance. These cooking wines are brewed from six different petals and fruits and then mixed with different flavors.

The speed must be fast. After the delicious marinade is done, the chef selects six flavors of thin fish fillets according to the size of the fish bones to form a fish. The original set of original size is placed on the fishbone, and the fish skin is fastened. Once the skin of mandarin fish is rich in the gum. Put it in a steamer, and the heat will turn the skin into fragrant isinglass that penetrates into the fish fillets. This will not only prevent the fish fillets from falling apart but also make the fish fillets as beautiful as the coated crystal. One fish with six flavors, more than delicious we can describe it.

These crystal-clear fish fillets, when the chopsticks are moved, their rich, fragrant aroma continues to pierce through the nostrils. Not only are they extremely delicious, but they also have an extremely stunning aftertaste. Without years of cooperating practice, you can’t even think of making this "Six Flavor Steamed Fish". At the same time, they can only be eaten on Mudun Island. No wonder the Director of the Tourism Bureau wanted to invite Ye Qing to have lunch on the island 20 kilometers away.

When Ye Qing had taken a sip, he felt like his taste buds were going exploding. The ingredients for this dish were not top-notch, but the cooking technique was extremely complicated.

Of course~ No matter how delicious the delicacy was, there would be a moment of fullness.

At half-past one in the afternoon, Ye Qing and the Director of the Tourism Bureau went to the Sikong City Gymnasium to participate in the opening of the crab activity.

Ye Qing didn’t look forward to the opening ceremony too much, but in the center of the venue, there was a top dream monitor provided by Monster Heavy Industries. He wanted to see the expressions of those tourists and businessmen from China and from abroad when they would saw the dream display lighted up in the evening at Xu Ninggong’s concert and the scene would be full of the watchman No. 3 defying the general audience.
