“The only loving Jue… Wei loving Jue. Very well, she has made progress at last.” Baili Jia Jue lifted the teacup in his hand and looked out of the window at the slender, jade-like figure. The curve at the corner of his mouth was more gentle than ever…
However, at this time, the onlookers who were originally just standing outside Bayview Seafood Restaurant now had the impulse to taste the dish in the wok!
Helian Wei Wei did not stop. While the saltwater fish was still grilling, she picked up the third knife. Holding the lobster’s back with her left hand, she made a small opening right in the middle and filled it with minced chicken meat from earlier. Next, she added some of the Shiitake mushrooms as well. Then, she spread a thin layer of honey on the lobster and placed it directly into the steamer.
After that, she scooped the red oil vegetable bottom out from the wok and placed it on an iron tray.
Under the tray was a small charcoal stove where there were woods from fruit trees. The fire was neither big nor small, yet just moderate.
After such a trick, the fragrance just now became more tempting.
Some of the people could no longer wait and had already taken a deep breath.
“I didn’t expect that Lord Wei could cook so well. The fragrance alone can make people salivate.”
“It’s a wonderful move to mix peanuts with chilies!”
“I really want to have a bite!”
The last sentence represented everyone’s thoughts.
Helian Wei Wei brought two big crabs onto the table. One was chopped and stir-fried with hot oil, whereas the other one was steamed with only onions. The two fragrances were entangled together and were constantly filling people’s nostrils, stimulating everyone’s taste bud.
“It smells so nice!” Even the two merchants who had been wandering around the world for many years could not help but ask curiously, “What did Lord Wei add into the dish? It’s so fragrant.”
“Pepper flavor.” Helian Wei Wei knew that no one in the War Dragon Empire had ever used spices as food additives. So, she took star anise and showed it to the two gentlemen.
Those two people had seen this kind of spice before, but they had never taken it seriously. The first time they smelled it, the odor was too strong, so they thought for certain that it was nothing good. They did not expect that it would smell so nice after adding it to the meat! What a magical thing!
The hot aroma filled the air and Helian Wei Wei knew that the lobster was almost done. She straightened her bamboo chopsticks and up she lifted the entire lobster from the steamer into a pot. She watered the lobster with some of its juices and poured half a cup of her own grape wine into the pot after opening it with her teeth. Then, she covered the pot with a lid!
Following that was the steamed crab which was pretty huge. Ordinary steaming seemed common, but right at the beginning, the fishy smell had already been removed by using just enough cooking wine and salt, leaving only the fresh, original flavor of the crab itself. It was served with some seasoned soy sauce for seafood and cold mixed fungus.
“Little Seven, remember to leave half of the dishes, so the rest of the villagers get to have a taste too.” Helian Wei Wei handed a big plate to the little one.
The little one nodded his head very seriously, then opened his mouth and took a crab leg. Without a word, he pushed the crab leg until it was right in front of the Old Master and stared at the old man with his tiny face. No one could ever reject him like that.
The old man took the bamboo chopsticks and only with a bite of the crab meat, the fragrance that lingered between his teeth made his eyes open wide at that moment!
He took a second bite right away!
“Hey, don’t just eat by yourself, Old Man Yu. Tell me quickly what the taste is like!”
“Delicious! I’ve never eaten this before, especially this sauce. It’s too delicious! ” Old Man Yu’s words aroused the curiosity among the people, wondering what would be Lord Wei’s next dish?
As it was obvious that they would not have the chance to touch or even taste the steamed crabs anymore…
