Chen Meiliang then remembered that the whole fish served during meals were usually under two pounds, so he changed a set of nets and caught over twenty smaller carp.
Besides these, he also caught a few softshell turtles, several snakeheads, as well as grass carp, chub, and white bream, all common freshwater fish in the north.
He retrieved these fish from the small pool and sent them to the restaurant using a tricycle.
Lin Xu, who was in the middle of preparing roast chicken, saw the fish and thought his second uncle had cleared out the fish stalls at the market.
"So many fish, let's add smoked fish to the menu and give everyone a taste of the Beijing restaurant dishes."
Chen Meiliang saw the two sheep and curiously asked Lin Xu:
"How will the sheep be prepared?"
"These sheep look good, tomorrow I'll make salt-fried lamb, giving everyone a chance to try something different."
