"It's a mandolin!"
"Mandolin fruit!"
"What is she trying to do?!"
"What are you trying to do?"
"Is she going to cook right here?!"
Truckloads of ingredients were pushed into the venue: incredibly fresh jelly fish, still-clawing jelly shrimp, giant delicious radishes and giant radish mushrooms, and fresh mandolin peppers.
A commotion began to rise around them, the dwarves huddled together whispering. Judge Jeber cautiously peeked out, exchanged glances with Nanako and Morgan, and then carefully spoke:
"Uh, Miss Milu, are you going to prepare a dish using mandolin fruit right here?"
This is truly the first time in history that the accused has started cooking on the spot.
"be opposed to!"
"I object! This is blasphemy against our ancestors!"
"Objection! This is an insult to sweets!"
The elders clamored in protest, but Jaber, glancing at the sullen Princess Sunny beside him, helplessly tapped his gavel:
"According to the code, a person accused of a crime can use any means to prove his innocence, and his objection will be invalid."
Nanako was extremely curious. Her turquoise eyes blinked slightly, and she couldn't help but ask Xu Milu, who had already started working, a question:
"Miss Milu, are you planning to use mandalas fruit in your cooking?"
The fact that mandolin fruit is non-toxic is no secret among the gourmet hunters of Mandolin Island. However, because the sweet-toothed dwarves cannot tolerate strong taste stimulation, the development of this ingredient has been indefinitely delayed.
"Yes, spiciness is just like sourness and sweetness; it's a very ordinary flavor. But because of the chef's different intentions, it becomes extraordinary."
Xu Milu tied on an apron, reached into the bucket, and scooped out a half-meter-long jelly-like fish.
[Jelly Fish: Bright red all over, boneless, named for its smooth, jelly-like flesh. It has extremely demanding requirements for its growing environment and is generally only found in rivers with high sugar content. Catch rating: 7 stars.]
[Jelly Shrimp: Completely non-toxic, named for its bright, transparent color and soft, tender texture; catch rating: seven stars.]
As soon as Xu Milu touched the ingredients, the relevant food guide immediately popped up.
"Huh? Are you going to use jelly fish in your cooking? That's really unusual, I rarely see this combination."
Nanako laughed, and Morgan, who had been silent, finally spoke up:
"The fish meat of the jelly is smooth, and it is usually cooked by pan-frying or smoking. I wonder how she will choose to cook it."
Xu Milu pretended not to hear the surrounding discussions. Since she wanted to use her cooking skills to vindicate Chili and Queen Missy, she had to use all her strength to completely defeat them and make them admit defeat wholeheartedly.
Spicy flavors, like sweet flavors, are treasures of the world!
The fish's head was struck hard with the back of the knife, and the jellyfish immediately became unconscious. The fish's belly was cut open with the knife, the gills and entrails were removed, and the fish was washed clean and soaked in water for later use.
Add half a pot of brown sugar granules to the pot, bury the two-colored mandolins inside, and heat it up. Everyone was completely baffled by this step.
"What are they going to do? Are they going to boil mandrake fruits with brown sugar and grit?"
Justice Jeb became curious.
Xu Milu did not answer, but turned around and began to prepare other ingredients.
"Hmph! It's just pretentious. That kind of horrible stuff will never taste good no matter how you cook it!"
As if recalling some unpleasant memory, the Grand Elder shuddered violently.
The dazed Second Elder peered out and asked, "Big brother, how do you know it doesn't taste good?"
The elder covered his foolish younger brother's mouth.
...
Xu Milu was still preparing the food methodically. She sliced the sour lemons and took three more lemons, squeezing out the juice little by little through the white gauze. The sour smell quickly spread, and the dwarf guard closest to her couldn't help but swallow.
The translucent, jelly-like shrimp are taken out. These shrimp, which live only in the Black Chocolate River, are extremely clean, with no impurities on their backs or bellies.
Xu Milu worked quickly, putting fresh jelly shrimp into a bowl, finely chopping bicolor mandolin peppers, dicing lemon slices, and adding chopped cilantro. She then added flame-flavored glass leaf sugar powder for seasoning, along with a full cup of cactus drink, and finally covered the bowl to marinate.
Sunny was very well prepared, and the beef was the freshest, still with a little bit of blood on it, and it would spring back immediately when pressed lightly.
"The quality is good."
Xu Milu muttered to herself, but her hands didn't stop moving.
Cut the beef into thumb-sized pieces and marinate for ten minutes with salt, brown sugar, and the wine provided by Lola.
Heat oil in a wok. Once the oil is hot, add shredded ginger and scallions and stir-fry until fragrant. Add shredded flame mandolin and stir-fry. Then add beef cubes and giant delicious mushroom cubes and stir-fry together. An extremely strong spicy aroma quickly spreads throughout the wok.
"Cough cough cough cough, this is choking! And they said it wasn't cursed food, but my eyes hurt so much!"
The elder covered his red eyes, but no matter how he wiped them, it was no use, and he could only writhe on the ground in pain.
"You might feel a little better if you don't touch your eyes with hands that have touched chili peppers."
Xu Milu ruthlessly exposed the other party's attempt to steal chili peppers in full view of everyone. With a flick of her wrist, flames shot three meters high from the pot—
Wow! This is absolutely amazing!
Nanako applauded enthusiastically, and even Judge Jeber couldn't help but lean forward to try and get a better look.
"The oil temperature was too high, and combined with the special effect of the flame mandolin, it looked like it was on fire."
Xu Milu effortlessly lifted the pot in her hands, flipping it up and down, the flames enveloping the beef and mushroom pieces as they tumbled, the intense stimulation causing many in the audience to swallow hard.
