"Aqiao! Look over there!" Mihua excitedly pointed to a rock covered with algae.
At first glance, it looks like a protruding rock on the rock wall, but if you look closely, you will find that there are some abalone hiding in it.
Ah Qiao made sure the safety rope was fastened and rubbed his hands together, "Watch me!"
She stepped nimbly on the raised stones and climbed to the target location in a few steps.
I reached into the crack of the rock and, sure enough, I felt a hard shell. It was definitely an abalone in disguise! So, I quickly grabbed it.
"Haha, it's time to add more food!" She used a small spatula to successfully pick up the plump abalone, and she shook the trophy proudly.
On the other side, Xiaoyu discovered that the cracks in the rock wall were covered with dense barnacles.
These guys stick so tightly that you have to use a lot of force to break them off.
Xiaoyu quickly put on the woolen gloves he had received to protect his hands. Then he held the shovel in one hand and pulled out the barnacles with the other, and finally got one down.
Mihua was the smartest one. She found an inconspicuous little hole in the corner of the climbing wall.
He reached out and pulled out a simulated scallop. He opened it and saw a note inside: "Congratulations on winning a free skewer of grilled squid."
By the time the three girls climbed down, the bucket was already full.
Xiaoyu excitedly counted his spoils: "Six abalone, 18 barnacles, and some food vouchers! That's great!"
"Next time we'll come earlier," Mihua said, wiping the sweat off her face. "I just heard from other tourists that you can catch lobsters at low tide!"
Ah Qiao exclaimed, "The Sea-hunting Experience Hall also has simulated high and low tides? Wow, I suddenly feel that the ticket price is worth it."
Because the three people's buckets were not full, they started digging clams on the beach and caught an octopus on the rocky beach.
Finally, the three girls left the sea-hunting experience hall with a lot of harvest, talking and laughing.
The aquatic area not only has a sea-hunting experience hall, but also a fishing master, where you can experience fishing with a pull-net.
However, because the three of them felt that the ingredients were almost ready, they had to give up the experience regretfully.
After all, as the game guide says, although the game is fun, you also have to be careful not to waste it. Don't be in a hurry, you can save some interesting experiences for next time.
Aqiao, Mihua and Xiaoyu carried the ingredients they had collected and ran excitedly to the processing kitchen of Food Paradise.
"Is this the place where I can help with the cooking?" Xiaoyu stood on tiptoe to look into the window, wondering why she didn't see any staff.
"Sure," a little girl with pigtails came skipping over. "Sisters, do you want to prepare the ingredients? My mom is the chef here, and her cooking is delicious!"
"Really? That's great!" Mihua squatted down and looked at the little girl at eye level. "Then can we ask your mother for help?"
The little girl puffed out her chest proudly: "I'll go ask Mom if she has time to wait for me."
She hurried into the backstage of the processing area.
Aqiao and the others waited for a few minutes before a staff member came running over.
"Sorry, our station is fully booked for lunch. There's a sign at the window," the staff member said, looking at the three waiting people. "The sign I put up saying 'full' is gone. Oh, how did the wind get in here? I guess I need to report this to the logistics department and have a heavier sign made."
"Ah? It's already fully booked?" Ah Qiao was surprised, but she had just...
"Sister, I'm back! Mom said it's okay. Auntie is here too." The little girl came out of the house, followed by a lady.
The three girls exclaimed at the same time: "Ms. Lan Qingying!"
Unexpectedly, the little girl’s mother was Ms. Lan Qingying. They thought she was the child of another chef working here.
The little girl happily rushed over and hugged her mother's legs: "Mom, these sisters want you to cook!"
Lan Qingying smiled and nodded at the three girls: "Hello, I heard from Xiao Xingxing that you want to process the ingredients, right?"
"That's right, Ms. Lan Qingying, I love you so much!" Ah Qiao said excitedly, "We are all loyal fans of MasterChef, and we came to the Food Paradise this time to meet all the contestants!"
Lan Qingying nodded. "I see. Then we can't let our guests down."
She turned to the staff and explained, "Saturday's customer flow is quite high. I've discussed with the other staff in the kitchen and plan to increase the number of customers we can accept. We can also accept five more processing orders. Can I trouble you again, Xiaoxiao?"
Xiaoxiao, a staff member, waved her hand. "What's the trouble? It's my job. But if we add more orders, won't the kitchen be too tired?"
Lan Qingying shook her head. "It's okay. We can't let our customers down. Besides, for us professional chefs, this is actually an opportunity to practice."
When they heard there was a play, the three girls burst into laughter.
Mihua quickly handed over the bucket of ingredients: "We dug up abalone, barnacles, and some vegetables. Can you help me cook them all?"
Lan Qingying smiled gently. "Of course, please wait a moment. Xiaoxiao will take you to your seats first. I will help you prepare the food after I finish processing the previous orders."
After saying that, Lan Qingying hurried back to the kitchen.
——
The three girls waited for a while, and when a seat became available, they were led to their seats by the staff and a list was placed in front of them.
"Please take a look. There are several ways to process seafood."
"If you have any dishes you want to eat, you can write them down and I will ask the chef if he can make them."
Ah Qiao asked, "Can we leave it entirely to the chef to decide?"
"Of course, that's a surprise set meal for three. I'll tell the chef and take the ingredients to clean up. Please wait."
Soon, the fragrant steamed abalone with vermicelli and garlic paste, abalone rice, steamed barnacles, steamed clams and eggs, and refreshing stir-fried seasonal vegetables were served on the table.
"This is so delicious!" Xiaoyu tasted the abalone and was so moved that he almost cried.
"It's even more delicious than what I saw on TV!" Mihua praised repeatedly.
Ah Qiao narrowed her eyes happily. "Because I collected the ingredients myself, it tastes even better than usual! This steamed barnacle has a natural salty flavor, it's really delicious."
Mihua remembered the description in the tourist guide, "I heard that the ingredients here are specially selected and cultivated, so they taste very good."
"So that's the case. I'm going to buy some ingredients and bring them home so that my parents can try it too."
"Me too!"
