A Vengeful Girl

Chapter 297 Deep-sea Grouper

Linda noticed that Sarah had been mentioning the fish in the restaurant several times. She had just told

Linda that fish was the specialty of the restaurant. Now, she mentioned again that the specials were all

fish. Obviously, she was nervous.

It seemed that the dishes really had been manipulated.

"Oh, really? So, which of these fish are the specials? Why don't you tell us?" Linda asked with a smile. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Sarah looked particularly calm. As a waiter served the first dish, Sarah began to describe it.

"You see, Lady Nalan. This is one of the specialties of the restaurant - Codfish with Poached Eggs."

Linda looked at the dish carefully. It had a pile of white things that were made to look like a salad.

Then, the waiter sliced the white part open, and all the egg yolks burst out.

"Lady Nalan, the codfish needs to be eaten with sauce, " The waiter gave a cordial introduction.

Linda cast a glimpse at Anna and received a nod in response.

So she went to taste the fish. It was delicious. No wonder it was one of the specials.

Then, the following dishes served all had fish in them. All of them were exquisite, living up to the

reputation of the restaurant's namesake.

Linda can't help but exclaim over the wide variety of fish that were served. After a while, a waiter

served a burning hotpot of fish head.

Having hotpot in winter, Linda had to admit that it was a nice experience.

But Sarah had yet to do what she really wanted to, right? This was only the calm before the storm.

"Well, the last dish is coming. The fish used is a grouper, which is very common in households. But it's

especially good here, and the restaurant only serves one every day. Lady Nalan, please enjoy."

Nearly half an hour passed, a lot of fish dishes had been served. Linda was stuffed and didn't expect

another one.

But since it was Sarah's treat, so what if she ordered more dishes!

"Grouper?"

"This kind of fish is very common. It's usually a staple home-cooked fish in average family households."

When the braised fish was served on the table, Linda paid attention to it to see if there was anything

suspicious.

"Lady Shen, why don't you tell us what's special about this grouper? Why does the restaurant serve

only one each day?"

"This grouper is a deep-sea grouper, which is hard to catch. It's more nutritious and succulent than the

common grouper. It is low in fat and high in protein, making it good for women, " Sarah explained, a

faint smile flickered across her lips.

"This grouper is quite big!" Linda looked at this grouper. It was relatively larger than the usual ones.

"Of course, this is a deep-sea grouper, which is much larger than common groupers in the market, "

The waiter, standing on the side, explained hastily.

"I see, " Linda stretched out her hand and poked it with chopsticks.

Anna kept looking at the grouper and said nothing. As long as Anna hadn't given a go signal, Linda

would not eat anything on the table.

After careful observation, Linda found that there were some fish roe in the grouper's belly. It was a

female grouper and was about to lay eggs.

Sarah took her chopsticks, picked up a piece of grouper meat, and swallowed it. She said to Linda,

"Lady Nalan, why don't you have a try? This dish is heavenly and has a distinct flavor."

"Really?" Linda smiled and held the chopsticks, preparing to pick up a piece.

However, when Linda was about to eat, Anna suddenly stood up and said, "Stop! Call your manager to

come over here!"

Hearing this, Linda put down the chopsticks. Anna must have had her own reason for acting like this.

There must have been something wrong with the dish.

"What's wrong?" The waiter panicked.

"Grouper roe is extremely poisonous. As a restaurant famous for fish dishes, how come you don't know

this? How dare you cook it with the dish?" Anna said seriously.

The waiter was flustered, "Wait a moment, My Lady. I'll call the manager immediately."

Linda looked at Sarah who looked calm and collected.

In fact, Sarah was sneering internally.

Just as Amy had said, there were many capable men around Linda to protect her.

It was not easy to succeed, so she'd better be careful.

What Amy said was true!

After a while, the manager came over. Feeling the tension around the table, he wore a smile on his

face and asked, "What happened? My Ladies, what can I do for you?"

"Grouper roe is poisonous. Don't you know? And you still included the roe in it when you cooked the

fish?" Anna pounded on the table and said sternly.

If Linda had had the roe by mistake, her life would be threatened, not to mention her child's.

"My Lady, you have misunderstood. Although grouper roe is poisonous, cooking grouper with roe

together will make the taste even better. Please be assured that as long as you don't eat roe, just the

fish meat, you won't get poisoned."

It seemed that the manager had known what Anna would ask in advance. He explained calmly.

Hearing the manager's explanation, Anna had gone quiet. She only knew that grouper roe was

poisonous, but she didn't know much. So in the urgent situations, just like this, she would be so angry,

especially since there were people who wanted to hurt Linda.

"I'm really sorry for our negligence. If we had explained it to you in advance, you wouldn't be this angry.

Our restaurant has been operating for many years, and there has never been any problem with this

cooking method. Please be at ease, " The manager continued.

"All right, it's just a mistake. Manager, you may leave now." Sarah stood up and waved away the

manager and the waiters.

"It turned out to be a mistake!" Linda leaned on the chair, looked at Sarah Shen, and smiled.

"Yes, of course, it's a mistake. I frequent visit this restaurant and have never had any problem. Lady

Nalan, you may relax."

After hearing that, Linda took a little bite of the grouper meat.

Although it tasted quite good, the cooking method was a bit scary.
