Chapter 177: Strange and Headless
Seafood platter is a traditional famous dish in ancient China. Fresh flowers are placed in a cup and turned upside down in the middle of the plate. Squid, sea cucumber, shrimp, scallops, cooked chicken, fish fillets, and winter bamboo shoots are blanched in boiling water, then removed and arranged around the flowers.
Now, the location has been moved outdoors and it has been changed to barbecue.
Then it is:
Seafood BBQ platter!
Beauty and delicious food at the same time.
After setting up the simple grill, Ye Jiaojiao took out some water from her mustard seed space, cleaned the seafood one by one and put them in a basin, added ginger, onion, chili, white wine, etc. to marinate, and then took out some fruits and vegetables.
In order to make them more flavorful, these seafood need to be marinated for at least twenty minutes.
Taking advantage of this time, Ye Jiaojiao lit a fire, used another wok, and cooked various vegetables.
Coincidentally, Ye Xiao and Elena also came back.
"You're back!" Ye Jiaojiao added the cooked fruits and vegetables to the table and waved to Ye Xiao and Elena: "Food you grill yourself always tastes better. Come here quickly, I'll teach you how to grill!"
"What should I grill first?" This was Ye Xiao's first time barbecuing outdoors, especially when Ye Jiaojiao was leading him, which gave him an inexplicable sense of the joy of an outing.
"Abalone and geoduck have to be put on the baking tray and grilled together. Why don't you try grilling a fish first? Even if it gets burnt, you can eat it all." There were not many fish and they were small, so Ye Jiaojiao simply let Ye Xiao do it on his own.
"I won't burn the fish!!!" Ye Xiao was furious after being forced to give him a small fish, but he still obediently came to the grill.
Ye Jiaojiao had already processed the fish, and Ye Xiao took a fork from the grill and pierced the fish all over.
It seems bold, but it was actually put up very carefully.
For normal people, grilling fish or meat just means cooking until it’s cooked.
Ye Xiao is no exception.
In order to prevent his stupid sister from laughing at him, he kept his eyes on the fish the whole time it was put on the fire.
Flip it over every few seconds.
He would come forward and sniff from time to time.
On the side, Ye Jiaojiao watched this scene and twitched her lips speechlessly.
Why is my stinky little brother becoming more and more like a cat?
Occasionally showing teeth and scratching claws.
Now I can smell the fish.

After arranging the task of grilling fish for Elena and Ye Xiao, Ye Jiaojiao saw that they had adapted well, especially Elena, who could already smell the fragrance from her side.
This caused Ye Xiao to look at her frequently, wanting to learn from her.
Retracting her gaze, while the abalone and black prawns still needed to be marinated for a while, Ye Jiaojiao rinsed the wok with water, poured ginger, garlic, star anise, green and red peppercorns, scallions and other ingredients into the wok to stir-fry, then added half a packet of hot pot base and an appropriate amount of water to make the barbecue seasoning sauce that would be used later.
Oil sizzled in the pot, chili peppers popped, and a stimulating smell emanated, accompanied by a tempting aroma. When the sauce became thick, Ye Jiaojiao added it to a small bowl and placed it next to the grill.
At this time, the large pot of seafood was almost pickled.
Ye Jiaojiao brushed a layer of oil on the bottom of the baking tray and placed the marinated seafood in it.
The shrimps and crabs are placed around the baking tray, the inner layer is oysters and geoducks, and the center of the baking tray is filled with roe, squid, abalone, etc. which are easier to cook.
After dealing with these, Ye Jiaojiao came to Ye Xiao and saw that Elena had already started eating the grilled fish she had grilled herself, while Ye Xiao had his hands behind his back and the fish was nowhere to be found.
"Where's your fish?" Ye Jiaojiao put down the baking tray, tilted her head, and glanced at Ye Xiao's back. Ye Xiao took a step back, and after a while, he handed the fish skewer out from behind, looking calm and saying, "I've eaten it."
"Have you eaten?" Ye Jiaojiao felt something was wrong. She glanced around but didn't see even a fish bone except for a skewer. "Are you that hungry?"
Before, I didn’t realize that Ye Xiao likes eating fish so much?
How come in the blink of an eye, Elena hasn't finished eating the fish in her hand, but Ye Xiao has eaten up all the fish meat and bones?
Weird.
"I was the one who jumped into the sea. How could you know how much physical energy I had consumed while you were resting on the shore?" Facing Ye Jiaojiao's suspicious look, Ye Xiao nodded righteously, and his words were well-reasoned. However, he never expected that the next second, a series of "gurgling" sounds came from his stomach.
Not only Ye Jiaojiao, but even Elena looked at Ye Xiao's belly.
Those eyes that usually showed no emotion were now tinged with a hint of smile.
Just now, Ye Jiaojiao didn't see it, but Elena was right next to Ye Xiao.
It was obvious that Ye Xiao had taken the fish away from him.
Perhaps out of curiosity, the young man was a little impatient and bit the fish before it was cooked. The fishy smell overwhelmed him. Later, he must have been scared and overcooked the fish.
In order to avoid being slapped in the face, I had to quietly put the fish into the space.
Pretend that he finished eating it himself.
Elena stood aside and ate grilled fish, without disturbing Ye Jiaojiao and her brother from bonding.
Ye Jiaojiao nodded with a half-smile, her eyes slowly scanning around Ye Xiao's belly, without delving into the reason: "It seems that one fish is not enough for you, your stomach is growling so happily."
"Yeah," Ye Xiao replied proudly, his neck stiffened. He caught a glimpse of the grilled dish covered in seafood, and his eyes lit up. Without waiting for Ye Jiaojiao to continue teasing him, he rushed over and said, "Are all these ready? Bake them quickly!"
"Okay!" Ye Jiaojiao blinked and smiled silently.
After turning the fire under the grill to low, Ye Jiaojiao asked Ye Xiao to bring the baking tray over and put it on.
After a while, the oil at the bottom began to heat up.
During this period, Ye Jiaojiao added a little oil and seasoning sauce several times.
The shrimps and crabs on the outermost edge of the baking tray gradually began to turn red, while the roe and squid inside also emerged an attractive golden color, with smoke rising from the air.
Seeing that the shrimps were ready to eat, Ye Jiaojiao couldn't resist her greed and picked up one. She pinched off the head and prepared to taste it. However, the freshly grilled shrimps were too hot. She passed her hands over them several times and blew on them: "Whoosh, so hot!"
"What's the hurry?" Ye Xiao frowned, and hurriedly took a plate from the side and handed it to Ye Jiaojiao: "Put it on the plate to cool first."
"Hmm, this shrimp meat is so tender!" Ye Jiaojiao took it with a smile. After the shrimp cooled down a bit, she peeled the shell and put it in her mouth. After chewing it twice, she suddenly sighed, "What a pity. I can't take things made in the second world out."
After all, the second world is a spiritual world constructed by the main brain.
Things in reality can be brought to the second world through scanning, but things in the second world cannot be brought into reality. This is the rule.
Like mechas, soldiers can bring their own mechas in.
For example, as for food, Ye Jiaojiao couldn’t bring out the seafood platter.
"What's so regrettable about this?" Ye Xiao didn't hear the hidden meaning of Ye Jiaojiao's words: "Just eat more, and eat until you are full."
"But I want to leave some for Si Ming!" Ye Jiaojiao did not hide anything, and when she mentioned Si Ming, she unconsciously showed the cuteness of a young girl.
"You may be thinking about him, but he may not be thinking about you." Ye·Sister Control·Xiao felt uncomfortable and grumbled with a sour face: "He hasn't answered your calls or replied to your messages in the past few days. A big shot like the Imperial Major General must have forgotten you long ago!"
