"You have to pay for my fish!"
Lai Siyu was speechless. Is being unreasonable a characteristic of the spiritual world?
"Senior, what does it have to do with me if your fish gets burnt?"
"How is it none of your business? If you guys weren't making noise here, why would I come to watch the fun? If I didn't come to watch the fun, how would my fish get mushy?"
Hey, you're getting excited with your big beard!
However, if you can't beat them, you have no choice but to admit defeat.
"Senior, I've never seen the fish in your hand..."
The bearded man glared at him. "What? You want to cheat? That old woman Yao Xi chased me around the spirit world for several rounds just for this piece of crap..."
"But I can help you process the fish and make sure it doesn't smell burnt." He explained quickly. Damn, I can't risk my life for a fish.
The bearded man looked at her hesitantly, his face full of distrust.
"Senior, the fish is already burnt, so you won't lose anything by trying!"
Bearded Man: I won’t lose money, I’ve already lost money!
"Follow me!" The bearded man turned his back to Lai Siyu, and Lai Siyu and others hurriedly chased after him.
The bearded man's seemingly casual steps made Lai Siyu exhausted to the point of being a dog before she could barely keep up.
After crossing two hills, there was a fire that had not yet been extinguished beside a stream.
"You have a very sensitive nose. You can smell it from such a long distance."
"It's not that I have a keen nose, that Yuanying cultivator can do it. It's just that I'm particularly sensitive to the taste of food."
"Oh, so you found me because of the smell of food on me."
Lai Siyu nodded and said, "If other people pay a little more attention, they can find it."
Bearded...
It seems that he was still careless. Fortunately, it was not that old woman Yaoxi who discovered him.
Lai Siyu was busy making a lot of noise, and Mengqin and Red Squirrel quietly ran over to help, helping Lai Siyu wash the various vegetables and seasonings she threw out.
Lai Siyu took the big fish from the bearded man. The fish was really big, almost as big as a pig.
This fish is obviously good stuff. The spiritual energy contained in it is concentrated and not dispersed, and the fragrance is rich. (This girl's sense of smell is also able to automatically filter out the smell of burnt goods!)
Lai Siyu placed the fish on her specially made oversized cutting board, picked up a kitchen knife, and first peeled off the slightly burnt skin on the surface, placing it in a basin. Then she filled a large steamer with water, threw in a few handfuls of green onions, and once the water boiled, she placed the whole fish in to steam.
The burnt skins here were not wasted. Instead, they were cut into thin strips, stir-fried with roasted green peppers in large amounts of oil, and then drizzled with balsamic vinegar.
After finishing this, Lai Siyu took the fish out of the steamer, cut off the tiger-like head, removed the bones, and then sliced the fish into thirds.
The outermost part of the fish is already cooked, and Lai Siyu cuts this part of the fish into sections and slices.
The fish fillets were coated with seasoned flour, rubbed by Lai Siyu, and then fried in a frying pan. The golden fried fish fillets were ready.
The rich aroma made the bearded man's nostrils flare and his saliva water.
Lai Siyu added sliced fish fillets, fermented black beans, and bean sprouts into a pan and stir-fried them to make twice-cooked fish.
Of the remaining two portions of fish, one was half-cooked. Lai Siyu fried it on both sides until it was golden brown, and put it into the pot together with the fish bones to make soup.
She then spiced the other piece of raw meat with secret spices, pierced it with peeled wooden sticks, greased it with oil, and grilled it over a low fire...
Lai Siyu put the fish head into the pot to steam after it was cooked. After it was cooked, she placed a layer of red chopped peppers on it and poured hot oil on it, and the aroma came out immediately.
Half an hour later, all the dishes were served. The bearded man's eyes dropped directly to the table.
Lai Siyu's cooking process was smooth and quick. Furthermore, since monks could control the fire and temperature through spiritual power, the cooking speed was even faster.
Therefore, only a fish the size of a fat pig can be cooked so quickly.
"Senior, please use it!"
Lai Siyu brought out a large round table, on which were large basins filled with fish cooked in various ways.
The bearded man grinned. It was a real pleasure to watch this girl cook.
Smelling the overflowing fragrance, the bearded man first picked up a piece of twice-cooked fish and put it in his mouth.
The red squirrel swallowed hard and looked at the bearded man eagerly, while Mengqin pretended to look up and down, but her eyes were always glancing at the table of company dishes.
As soon as the fish entered his mouth, the bearded man's eyes lit up instantly.
His chopsticks moved back and forth between each basin, picking up the left and right, and his ferocious eyes became brighter and softer.
Hot and sour fish heads, fragrant and crispy fish chili paste, crispy and delicious fried fish strips, tender grilled fish strips, and twice-cooked fish fillets with a strong sauce flavor... The bearded man was glad that he went to watch the fun, otherwise he wouldn't have such a delicious table for him to enjoy!
