“The Black Tuna meat and bones are all black in color. But they will turn red once heated. So, when you slice its meat, don’t let it get in contact with anything above 40 degree Celcius. In other words, this fish is suitable for sashimi.” Old Li picked the entire skeleton of the fish out and gave it to Old Wang who eventually put it inside the pot with the Royal Mountain Goat. “Lil’White, do you know that ‘fresh’ in Chinese literally means ‘fish’ and ‘lamb’? If we take the word for it, a lamb soup will never be fresh without fish bones. The skeleton of the Black Tuna is indeed a rare ingredient used in boiling lamb soup. One can never ask for more.”
Once the bones were put into the soup, its color quickly spread through it as if a drop of ink was poured into the water. However, it came to Ye Cang’s surprise that the color of the soup remained unchanged. In the end, the bones melted as if it had become one with the soup. On the other side, Old Li made sushi and sashimi with Blossom Rice, the lobster meat, Black Tuna and its black roe. Every plate had fish liver sashimi.
“This fish liver is the best…” Old Li placed an equal amount of fish liver sashimi and poured his homemade soy sauce and some mashed Red D Horseradish on a small sauce dish.
“Alright, this is the finale. The preparation is done. We’ll serve it as the last…” The two of them opened the Nine-star Clam and the nine pearl-like meatballs caught everyone’s attention.
Old Li then started to connect the lobster and tuna, preparing to dip them into batter.
“I thought you said it can meet high temperature things?” Ye Cang asked.
“Rules are dead but humans are alive. Be creative. Lil’White, remember this whenever you are cooking,” Old Li smirked.
“Quickly eat it. This dish will become a waste after a minute,” Old Li reminded them and everyone grabbed one.
Lin Liang once again took out his Frozen Lily Wine to share with the rest.
When the roasted suckling Peppa pig was served, everyone stopped everything they were doing. This was because they had to honor their ranks when eating the dish. All moves are deemed as impolite. First, they would need a person to distribute the meat. Huang Zhong stood up, “Let me do the job.”
“Wait a minute,” Marilyn stuffed an apple into the pig’s mouth.
“One part of ham for each of the hosts,” Huang Zhong gave ThornyRose and Wu Na each a piece of the ham portion. “Team leader and his father-in-law will get one each too.”
“Oh, come on, there’s no need to have so many rules. Just pick whichever part you like…” Ye Cang smiled and sliced the pig into various portions in a blink of an eye. “Just pick according to what you like…”
“Actually…I’d like to eat the ear…” AV picked a piece of it.
Grabbing the pig’s nose, Marilyn stared at Jia Xu who was busy digging into the brain, “Are you a zombie?”
Jia Xu smiled to cover up his confusion and continued to enjoy his food.
“Come on, the last work. We can join the feast once this is done,” Standing in front of the three soups, Old Wang smiled.
Old Li dragged the clam to the center.
Lin Liang squinted his eyes. Indeed, they are going to wash it.
“Here it comes! Three River Delta!” Old Wang shouted.
Ye Cang, Old Wang and Old Li then poured all three soups into the clam, making it look like an overflowing tsunami.
The aroma of the soup did not fade away due to the mixture of the various ingredients. Instead, it got thicker and stronger. Under the night sky, the nine pearl-like meatballs were glittering in the high temperature. It was an extremely beautiful sight. In the pinkish soup, it was as if the duck was swimming in the river and the nine stars were glimmering on the white island.
Qin Zhong was dumbfounded. Damn. What have I been eating all these while?! I still think that I’m a foodie… I’m impressed. “I’ve gained a lot of knowledge today. Please do invite me again next time, I’ll definitely come with a taichi frog.”
“It is a little troublesome but since it’s you who brought it over, I’ll never let you leave with disappointment,” Old Wang smiled confidently and Old Li wiped the knife. “Dark-learning o’ Dark-learning, the ultimate knowledge of all…”
Flasher Uncle and the others were eating the food madly and then laid on the beach to gaze at the stars. “Whenever I come here, I will always fill up my stomach until it is full af…”
“But having such delicious and precious food filling my stomach and enjoying the love, I’ll never get greasy…” Panty Uncle wiped his mouth gracefully. “Old Wang, next time, I want to join the fun too…”
“Sure! I knew that you this fella will get hyped up after seeing so many rare ingredients. Your hands getting itchy huh?!” Old Wang laughed.
