Chapter 1782 King of River Fish

On this day, Yang Cheng flew to Los Angeles temporarily because when he was discussing the acquisition with STX, Adam Ferguson, the chairman of the other party, wanted to meet with Yang Cheng by name.

After Donna reported the situation, Yang Cheng agreed to the meeting after only considering it for a few seconds. Originally, the other party said that he could come to New York, but Yang Cheng thought that he was going to meet Luo Yue, so he changed the meeting place.

When we arrived in Los Angeles, it was just in the morning. Compared with the cold winter in New York this year, the sunshine in California was still warm.

When I got on the plane, I was wearing a down jacket to prevent wind and snow, but when I got off the plane, I was only wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt.

White came to pick him up in person. He hadn't seen his butler for a while. Yang Cheng didn't hesitate to give him a warm hug, "Man, how are you doing recently?"

"Yes, very good. In good health. I have to eat an extra piece of bread every day. Recently, the zoo over there at the ranch received a group of primary school students and was quite busy."

Yang Cheng nodded, "Yes, but you should eat more beef. It's too thin. Are you a student? Are they all from nearby schools?"

White is really getting thinner and thinner, and it feels like he is developing in the direction of a vampire.

"Yes, after all, Santa Barbara is still quite far from the Los Angeles Zoo. Being able to shorten the travel time is definitely something the school would like to see."

"Then let's develop it properly, and the price can be easily negotiated. We don't put it in our zoo to make money, just to maintain costs."

"I understand~"

Returning to Jason Manor, Yang Cheng felt suddenly enlightened. Thinking about it carefully, Los Angeles is more suitable for living. New York is too noisy. He prefers this kind of environment where he can be in contact with nature, and the view here is better. Open and have a different state of mind.

The manor has always had servants responsible for maintaining the equipment and greening. Although there was no advance notice, it was no different from the last time he came.

"We have guests coming at noon, and they may have dinner at the manor. You can prepare them, and the wine will be the red wine bar from Chateau Musa that I sent over."

White responded, "No problem, I'll let the kitchen prepare it. Also, do you want to prepare some desserts?"

Yang Cheng thought that Donna Ronde would also accompany her. For ladies, desserts are as irresistible as diamonds. "Prepare some. I'll go change my clothes. Come down later and squeeze me a glass of juice."

"Yes~"

.

. .

After changing into home clothes and walking downstairs, White came over with juice and said, "To match the taste of Moussa red wine, the kitchen is preparing lamb chops as the main course at noon, paired with Alba white truffle sauce.

In addition, the ingredient supplier said that a new "unforgettable fish" was available today. It had just arrived in Hong Kong by air and before it could be auctioned, the chef asked if he was interested. "

Yang Cheng took a sip of juice and asked doubtfully, "Is it Malaysia's Forget the Fish?"

White nodded affirmatively, and Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, and his mouth suddenly became wet. He swallowed unconsciously, "Take it~"

As we all know, Malaysia is rich in fresh water resources, and the rivers are rich in delicious river fish. Many gourmets are loyal fans of river fish.

Among them, as a unique freshwater fish species in Malaysia, the 'forgettable' fish is the internationally famous king of river fish.

This river fish with a special name is native to the waters of Sarawak, the upper reaches of Kapit and the lower reaches of Balaga of the Urajang River in Malaysia. Its appearance is very recognizable: the fish head is pointed, the back of the head is convex, and the head and back are The connection is in the shape of a small hump, and there is an obvious fish belly.

The "forgettable" fish that grows in the upper reaches has a white body and delicious meat. Because this fish likes to eat a kind of forest coconut called windmill fruit, the fish meat also has the aroma of the fruit.

After steaming, its tender meat and aromatic smell are unforgettable in one bite, hence the name. The most special thing is that the scales of this fish are also edible. It is also a delicious dish after being fried in oil and dipped in seasonings. Delicious food, absolutely the best among fish.

Yang Cheng had only heard of it before, but had never tasted it. Unexpectedly, he was lucky today. As for its expensive price, he was not at all considering it.

What matters is whether it is available, not whether it is expensive or not!

Don’t forget that the fish is a large species and can weigh up to 100 kilograms.

However, this kind of fish grows slowly, with a weight of only about 4.5 grams in the first year, 1 to 2 kilograms in the second year, and 3 to 5 kilograms after three years.

Only the Forget fish that has grown for more than 3 years and weighs about 4 kilograms has the best meat quality. Moreover, this fish is very similar to tuna and swims very fast. It is the first river fish. It is also very smart, so it is extremely difficult to catch.

It is precisely because of various reasons that the price of forget-me-not fish is very high. The current market price is about 300-400 US dollars per kilogram. If the best quality fish is in good condition, the price can soar to more than 700 US dollars. This is just what you can buy. The price is sometimes hard to find. After auction bidding, it is not difficult to reach US$1,000 per kilogram.

This is just the purchasing cost of buying a fish. If you eat it in a restaurant, plus the auxiliary materials and labor, as well as the restaurant's own profit, it is not difficult to sell it at double the price, and you may not be able to eat it. .

In other words, one bite may cost more than 100 US dollars, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

But for Yang Cheng, let alone $100 a mouthful. If it is as "unforgettable" as the legend, $1,000 is not a big deal.

With Yang Cheng's consent, the chef hurriedly called the supplier, who would arrange for a cold chain truck to be delivered to his door. In the end, he beat several other restaurants and bought this piece of general merchandise for US$10,000. 'Unforgettable' fish weighing nearly 5kg.

This was not over yet. The chef received several calls from top restaurants in Los Angeles, asking for a portion of the meal to be given to them, even if the price was more expensive.

But they were all rejected by the chef. There was no need to ask Yang Cheng for instructions on such matters. Is the boss short of money?

Not long after, Donna Ronde arrived at the manor with Adam Ferguson, and after getting to know each other, Yang Cheng told them the good news that they were going to have a big meal at noon.

When Donna heard this, she laughed so happily that she even joked that she would call all her family members.

Adam also agreed and said that he would bring his daughter with him.

Naturally, Yang Cheng would not refuse. Anyway, the fish weighing nearly 10 kilograms and other dishes could not be eaten by the three of them. It would be more lively if more people tasted it.

Simply, they each took out their mobile phones to call their friends. Yang Cheng also dragged Luo Yue and Lin Ximan over from the company. Originally, Lin Ximan was not willing to join in the fun, but after hearing that there were top-quality delicacies worth tens of thousands of dollars a piece, You can eat it. Without saying a word, he hung up the phone and rushed to Jason Manor.

After all, there will be 9 people dining at the luncheon at noon. The pressure on the chef suddenly increased. He is only one person. He has to ensure the portions for 9 people and the quality of the dishes at the same time. Even if he is killed, he can't do it. Come on, I have no choice but to ask White for help.

For the housekeeper, this kind of problem is easy to solve. Just make a phone call to the hotel down the mountain and ask for a group of chefs and waiters to help. The price is naturally very expensive, but if you can solve the problem with money, it is not a big deal.
