novelThe Matchless Feast (3)
| ← Ch.135 | Ch.137 → |
Ling Pingan's crayfish was still cooking.
He liked to cook it for a little longer. Not only could he kill the parasites of the crayfish, but it would also make the flesh of the crayfish tighter and softer.
However, he didn't idle around. Instead, he began to prepare the seasoning for the mouth-watering crayfish.
Chili, ginger slices, perilla, pepper, and black cardamon ...
Of course, the pork belly was also a crucial ingredient to make the mouth-watering crayfish!
The carefully selected pork belly was chopped into fine texture under the kitchen knife.
The rice was also ready once the pork belly was chopped. He removed the pressure cooker from the stove and placed another pot on it.
He used a small amount of lard to lubricate the pot. Then, he put in the chopped pork belly and began to stir-fry it. After the pork belly was fried to a golden color, he added all the other seasonings. Finally, he poured the remaining crayfish into the pot. After stir-frying over high heat, he poured in a bottle of beer.
At this moment, he looked at the garlic shrimp beside him. The sauce was already thickening.
He used his chopsticks to taste it.
"Excellent!" Ling Pingan praised. Then, he turned off the gas stove and poured all the cooked crayfish into a large bowl he had prepared beforehand.
The garlic was wrapped on the crayfish flesh and rolled on the plate. The thick sauce hung on the shell of the shrimp, making him drool.
He carried the plate of crayfish to the living room.
As soon as he entered, he saw his aunt's colleague lying on the table, chewing a piece of beef while holding a wine glass in her hand.
She seemed to be a little tipsy.
"Captain..." the little girl said with a red face, "This beef is delicious!"
"Of course!" His aunt also looked a little tipsy and burped."Weiwei, try the crayfish later. That's the most delicious!"
"This beef! It's just an appetizer!"
The old man, on the other hand, seemed to have a good tolerance for alcohol.
Moreover, his gesture was also very perfect.
He sipped the wine gently while half-closing his eyes as if he was enjoying it.
And the most useless one, without a doubt, was the kitten, Bastet.
The little fella leaned underneath the table. Her small claws were holding a piece of beef, and beside him was a glass with a large glass of wine in it.
The little fella ate the beef and drank the wine, making her head and claws dirty with gravy and wine.
Ling Pingan shook his head and ignored her. He put the cooked crayfish on the table and said, "The garlic shrimp is served!"
The old man opened his eyes.
His aunt's eyes flashed with joy.
The little girl beside her stared intently at the crayfish in front of her.
Even the kitten that was engrossed in eating beef and drinking wine crawled out from the table.
Meow!
It looked pitifully at the plate on the table. It was obvious that it was filled with anticipation for the crayfish.
"It smells so good!" Chu Weiwei looked at the large plate of crayfish in front of her. Her foodie instincts could no longer be restrained.
Because it was too fragrant!
It wasn't just the fragrance of the crayfish!
It was the fragrance of spices!
More importantly...
She smelled a rich and magical wine fragrance.
The wine fragrance...
Chu Weiwei swore that she had never smelled such a fragrance before.
It was a little like the wine that had been aged for many years. The fragrance was intoxicating.
It was also a little like the fragrance of incense that she occasionally smelled when she was young on Qingcheng Mountain. The fragrance was rich and distant, and the aftertaste was long. It was more like the delicate fragrance of the flowers in the Spring Garden. There was even...
There was a tint of the fragrance of beauty, the fragrance of orchid and sweet Osmanthus, which entered their heart.
........
Li Shouyi smelled the fragrance coming from the crayfish plate in front of him.
The rich fragrance assailed his nose.
He was sure that it wasn't the fragrance of wine.
But he didn't know what exactly it was.
This fragrance was something he had never smelled before.
Captain Li Anan was also very surprised."Little Pingan, not bad! Your culinary skills have improved again!"
He smiled honestly and politely.
Li Anan picked up a crayfish with her chopsticks impatiently. The reddish crayfish was wrapped in fine garlic and was tightly adhered to the crayfish flesh by the sauce.
She took a big bite and broke the shell of the crayfish.
She immediately sat down comfortably.
"Delicious... So Delicious..." the poor vocabulary made her repeat the words.
Li Shouyi looked at it and reached out his chopsticks to pick one up and put it on the plate in front of him.
The fine garlic was tightly wrapped around the crayfish. Just looking at it was enough to make one's appetite soar.
With the rich fragrance, Li Shouyi could not help but put it into his mouth.
The shell of the shrimp was very crisp, and it broke with a light bite.
A rich aroma that was like aged wine exploded in his taste buds in an instant.
If the beef from before was like a Kun Opera. It was sung in a gentle and soft voice.
Then, the crayfish was like rock music.
The fragrance of the wine was the singer's roar. The rich sauce was the beat of the musical instrument, while the texture of the crayfish meat was the audience's shout.
When the crayfish entered Li Shouyi's stomach, he even felt that his body was starting to heat up.
That was the psionic energy contained in the shrimp meat and soup, transforming his body.
Different from the pure output of beef, the crayfish meat made Li Shouyi feel that his bone marrow and meridians were boiling.
It was as if these bone marrow and meridians, which had long been solidified, were regaining their youth!
However, there was too much psionic energy.
Even Li Shouyi found it difficult to grasp it.
The two little girls opposite him only ate one, and their foreheads were sweating, and their hair was wet.
"So..."Li Shouyi thought, "How would he dissolve the crayfish?"
He had used wine for the beef from before.
The crayfish meat now should also have a corresponding dissolving and paving material.
"Little Pingan, hurry up and get me some rice!" Li Shouyi didn't wait for long before he heard Li Anan's urging voice."I want to eat three bowls!"
As she spoke, she said to Chu Weiwei beside her, "Weiwei, listen to me. This crayfish must be eaten with rice!"
"A mouthful of rice and a mouthful of crayfish. It's simply the ultimate enjoyment of the human world!"
"It's a truly delicious food that can't be described with words!"
"So..." Li Shouyi put down his chopsticks."It's rice?!"
He was a little expectant.
What kind of rice could have such a miraculous effect?
He didn't wait long. The owner of the bookstore walked in with a pressure cooker in his hand. He placed the pressure cooker in a corner of the room and opened the ventilation valve.
Rolling steam gushed out and lingered around the owner of the bookstore.
Li Shouyi watched and couldn't help but grab the edge of the sofa.
Because...
He could feel that the moment the steam gushed out, the figure of the owner of the bookstore was in a trance.
At that moment, Li Shouyi sensed a terrifying aura that made his soul tremble.
"As expected..." he thought, "Zhang Hui and Situ He's description is right!"
"He is a ruler who has awakened in the human world..."
"A leader of a certain God system..."
However, he didn't have time to think about it because a bowl of steaming hot rice had been delivered to him by the bookstore owner."Sir..." he said, "Eating a little more than usual of our rice is fine..."
"It won't affect or burden your stomach!"
"Right!" Li Anan also said, "My Little Pingan's rice is also super delicious. The more you eat, the more fragrant it is!"
She would never tell others that she was looking forward to returning to Jiangcheng City every year.
All she wanted was to eat a mouthful of fragrant rice, taste the delicious lobster and juicy beef!
Unfortunately...
Li Anan knew that this nephew of hers was naturally lazy!
It was already his conscience that he was willing to spare a few days every year to cook a few delicious meals for her.
She couldn't ask for more.
Thinking of this, Li Anan sighed.
That was the reason why she wanted to urge him to get married.
Carrying on the family line was secondary. The main purpose was to have more opportunities to eat and drink!
........
Li Shouyi looked at the bowl of rice in front of him.
It looked like ordinary rice, but the grains were a little crystal clear, and the grains were a little fuller. The fragrance of the rice was also a little stronger.
But...
He gently moved the rice, and the grains of rice automatically separated.
In front of him, the two little girls had no grace at all as they held the rice and wolfed it down.
Especially Li Anan. She was holding a crayfish in her left hand and chopsticks in her right hand. She ate a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of crayfish happily.
Her small face became redder and redder as she ate.
Chu Weiwei was a little more ladylike, but she wasn't much of a lady either.
She held the rice bowl and pulled the crayfish. She didn't care about the manners of the families or the demands of a lady. Her mouth was making slurping sounds, and the hair on her forehead was getting wet. She didn't care at all.
"Delicious!" Chu Weiwei praised, "Captain, it's so delicious!"
"I've never eaten such delicious rice!"
"It's great!"
"Sob, sob, sob..."
At the table, the cat goddess raised her head with a proud look, as if she was saying, "A country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world!"
However, when the bookstore owner put a few crayfish into a plate and scooped out a spoonful of rice. Then, he placed them in front of her.
The cat goddess of ancient Egypt instantly turned into a little greedy kitten.
She held a crayfish in his hand. The head of the crayfish was full of rice. She gently bit into the shell of the crayfish and ate it bite by bite. She did not even leave out a piece of crayfish shell.
Looking at all this, Li Shouyi finally began to pick up his chopsticks and taste the rice in front of him.
He gently picked up a mouthful of rice and put it into his mouth.
As the rice entered his mouth, he immediately felt a sweet warmness in his mouth.
He chewed lightly, and the rice grains were crushed. Streams of the sweet water filled his mouth and teeth and were immediately absorbed.
This sweet water turned into streams of cool psionic energy, soothing the restless bone marrow and meridians in his limbs and bones.
They also neutralized the fury and restlessness of the crayfish.
Moreover...
Li Shouyi felt that the psionic energy released from the rice was not just a neutralizing agent.
It was also an antidote.
Everything was poisonous!
If an ordinary person ate grains, they would inevitably be contaminated, causing damage and burden to their cells and bodies.
The supernatural being was always affected by psionic energy.
Naturally, they were also inevitably poisoned by psionic energy.
Therefore, aberrations of supernatural beings happened frequently.
However, this rice had the miraculous effect of neutralizing all psionic energy.
After just one mouthful, Li Shouyi felt his body become lighter.
"This is truly a matchless feast..." he looked at the seemingly ordinary food and then at the two ignorant girls, who were only engrossed in devouring the food.
He could not help but sigh in his heart."I never thought that I, Li Shouyi, would one day have to rely on my connections and use a backdoor!"
He was very clear that if it were not for captain Li, he would never have the chance to sit here and taste the food of Immortals and gods that the outside world could not possibly eat...
No...
Perhaps even ordinary immortals and gods were not qualified to be served.
It was very likely that in the distant past, countless times ago, the existence that was qualified to taste these things were each supreme existence that could determine the life and death of a world and affect the rise and fall of a universe.
While he was thinking about these things, Li Shouyi's hands did not stop moving.
He was very clear that the opportunity was probably one in a million.
He also understood that it would not be so simple for him to sit there the next time!
The owner of the bookstore was willing to give him a chance, which was already his fortune and good deeds.
Therefore, he had to treasure every mouthful of food now.
Thus, the commander-in-chief of the Blackguard, the Minister of the fate of the Federal Empire, slowly ate one mouthful at a time, savoring every mouthful of food carefully.
At this time, the gas in the kitchen was turned off.
The owner of the bookstore came in with a new plate of food, a Hunan specialty called mouth-watering crayfish.
He placed the plate of food on the table, then scooped a bowl of rice for himself, and then sat next to Li Shouyi.
He smiled and asked, "Sir, does the food suit your taste?"
