Chapter 58 Snatching Food
I remember seeing a saying somewhere before: "Even if a fairy is covered in burlap sacks, she is still beautiful."
At that moment, Zuo Shan, who was standing by the stove cutting sheep liver, looked up and saw the man approaching with a sack of burlap sacks on his head. He had only one thought in his mind: The ancients were right!
The room wasn't well-lit, but his deep blue eyes still looked like the sunlit sea, so beautiful that it was hard to look away.
That beautiful silver hair also shimmered with a soft light, always reminding her of the swaying silver hair in her spring dreams.
She couldn't think about it, she couldn't think about it, otherwise she wouldn't be able to resist pouncing on him and doing all sorts of things.
Of course, this is just imagination. In reality, the person in front of her is a high-level superhuman who could crush her with a flick of his finger.
She only dared to sit on equal footing with him because of her merit in rescuing him from the water; otherwise, she probably would have hunched over and looked down at him.
"Why aren't you resting? What are you doing here? Don't you find the kitchen dirty?" Zuo Shan lowered his eyelids and began to shoo him away.
“I want to see what method you can use to make the lamb liver taste completely clean, after all, you spent eight thousand silver coins to buy it, and I will have to pay you back eight hundred thousand in the future,” Mortilan said matter-of-factly.
"You really intend to repay a hundredfold? Forget it, I'm not that heartless. Just pay me back double." Zuo Shan said.
She spent 7,800 yuan and quoted 8,000 yuan, which is already a bit unfair. How could she possibly expect them to return 800,000 yuan to her? Wouldn't that be bullying?
Even if he's rich, it's still his. There's a limit to taking advantage of someone's kindness. If you really make the big shot bleed a lot, and he remembers this incident in the future and gets upset, someone will kill her on his behalf in no time.
Zuo Shan now treats serving him food and drink as a business. Earning double the profit is already quite considerable. If she were to earn a hundred times the profit, that wouldn't be profit; that would be a sharp blade that would eventually kill her.
The best way to remove the fishy smell is to add ginger slices and cooking wine, but unfortunately she didn't have any of those on hand, so she could only add some pickled vegetable bits to remove the fishy smell. The effect will definitely be less than ideal, but it's still passable.
Remove the tendons from the lamb liver, slice it thinly, mix it with pickled mustard greens and sesame powder, and then scoop out a layer of oil from the bowl containing bamboo rat meat sauce, heat it in a wok, and then stir-fry the lamb liver over high heat.
Stir-fry evenly, and once the lamb liver changes color, immediately remove it from the heat and plate it.
The entire stir-frying process took only two minutes, leaving Modiland speechless.
Such skillful technique cannot be mastered in a day or two. This woman has something wrong with her, definitely something wrong with her!
How did a scavenger from District 50 develop such superb culinary skills?
Zuo Shan was unaware that she had already revealed more than one layer of her true colors to him. In her opinion, wasn't it normal for a woman to know a little about cooking?
Unfortunately, she forgot that this was a wasteland. The people here didn't know how to cook. They either ate raw vegetables or barely cooked them and drank the broth. Most people didn't know how to stir-fry vegetables, let alone use cooking oil.
After the stir-fried lamb liver was served, the wild vegetable porridge in the pot was also ready. I set out a portion for Xiaobao and let him eat it while holding the bamboo basin.
Then Zuo Shan sat down at the table and tried to pick up the lamb liver with his chopsticks, but his chopsticks were blocked by another pair of chopsticks.
"This is second-tier beast meat. You can't eat it, or you'll explode with energy," Mortilan said with a serious expression.
"I don't care, I have to have a taste. What chef doesn't taste the food?" Zuo Shan stared at the steaming lamb liver with gleaming eyes.
“Alright, you can only eat one piece, then tell me how you feel,” Mortilan said.
He didn't want this stupid woman to explode and die like that; he was counting on her to be his cook for the rest of his life.
Zuo Shan finally brought a piece of lamb liver to his mouth, but perhaps because he was too excited, his chopsticks trembled and the lamb liver fell onto the table.
Without hesitation, Zuo Shan reached out and grabbed a piece of lamb liver, feeding it into his mouth. Modi Lan Dun was speechless: This woman is too rude. Doesn't she know how to be hygienic?
Left Fan: This is priceless golden lamb liver! Even if it falls on the ground, let alone on the table, we have to pick it up and eat it!
As the lamb liver entered her mouth, Zuo Shan chewed it slowly, her eyes narrowing into slits with bliss. Somehow, seeing her expression of enjoyment, Modi Lan Dun forgot his earlier slight unpleasantness and started eating as well.
As she said, the thin slice of lamb liver was almost completely devoid of any fishy taste, and it was tender and fragrant, completely overturning his perception that the livers of mutated beasts were fishy and tough.
In the past, the chefs he had seen would cook liver, slice it, sprinkle it with a little salt, add a few pieces of wild scallion, and then plate it up in a fancy way. That was the highest level of skill a chef could achieve.
He never imagined that the liver could be prepared in this way, and that it could produce such an irresistible sensation.
He will definitely try to get this woman to be his personal chef someday.
After swallowing a piece of lamb liver, Zuo Shan immediately felt a warm sensation flowing to her lower abdomen. Then, Ah Chen, the baby, started rolling around excitedly, clearly conveying a joyful and eager expression: "Eat! Want to eat!"
Zuo Shan, with her dark face covered by the Morti Lan shield, quickly grabbed another piece and stuffed it into her mouth. If the Morti Lan shield hadn't found it disgusting, it would have reached out and plucked it out of her mouth.
"Are you crazy? Don't you value your life? There's a limit to how much you can eat, okay?" He glared at him angrily.
“My baby in my belly likes to eat lamb liver, and as you saw, I didn’t experience any problems after eating it, really!” While speaking, Zuo Shan ate the second slice.
This time, Modilan picked up the entire bamboo basin, resolutely refusing to let her take another piece. Seeing her still holding her chopsticks, eager to try, he said directly:
"Didn't I say I would repay you a hundredfold? If you eat one slice, I'll deduct a quarter. If you eat four slices, I'm sorry, I'll consider this lamb liver as your treat, and there will be no compensation."
"This is a huge plate, a full kilogram! How could you calculate it like that?" Zuo Shan stamped his feet in frustration.
"In this world, the strong are respected, and the rules are naturally set by the strong. If you have any objections, you can keep them," Mortilan said coldly.
Then he carried the bamboo basin to the other side of the wall, picked up his chopsticks, and quickly ate all the remaining lamb liver.
Seeing this, Xiao Bao pushed the bamboo basin in front of him towards Zuo Shan, indicating that she could share his portion. Zuo Shan smiled, rubbed his head, and pushed the bamboo basin back to him.
After her initial anger subsided, she has now calmed down.
She felt that Modilan Shield was doing this for her own good, and Uncle Wu Qiong had also reminded her that she shouldn't eat second-tier mutated beast meat casually.
Even if the little one in my belly can absorb the energy, it is still a fetus after all. If it can't control itself from absorbing too much, it will definitely harm it.
She's really going backwards as she gets older. How can she disregard her own and her baby's life for the sake of her appetite?
