“This…” The point was that he did not know what the Princess Consort was going to do!

The Shadow was in a dilemma when the windows banged loudly.

Helian Wei Wei had three more knives in her hands, each of which was shaped differently but they were beautiful and eye-catching.

She held one of the long knives and took three wooden sticks. After that, she sharpened one end of the three sticks and aligned them according to length.

Then, with her body bent forward, she inserted her hand and swiftly caught a saltwater fish from the wooden barrel!

Her movement was fast. Among the floating clouds and flowing water, she already scaled the saltwater fish that was jumping around.

Compared with freshwater fish, this type of saltwater fish had almost no bones. The flesh was fat, sweet and so soft that it would melt in the mouth.

But before that, one must be able to control its taste.

“Is Lord Wei cooking?”

“Cooking with his own hands!?”

“The speed of removing the fish scales was so fast! Wait, why isn’t the fish put into the wok yet?”

Whoosh!

Indeed, Helian Wei Wei did not put the fish into the wok. Instead, she sliced open the fish at an amazing speed and inserted the three wooden sticks into the saltwater fish horizontally. Then, the fish was racked above the fire!

Helian Wei Wei was very skillful in doing these things. It did not seem like her first time cooking at all. Holding a brush on her left hand, she dipped the brush into the sauce and sesame oil that was mixed previously and brushed it over the fish. Along with the sizzling sounds, the light fragrance of the fish wafted in the air.

The people frowned. After all, eating seafood was all about the original flavors.

Was it not a waste to grill such a good saltwater fish directly above the fire?

When everyone was still in doubt, Helian Wei Wei had picked up the second knife. She started to dice onions, ginger, and garlic. Then, she cut some celery and young garlic into pieces. After heating the wok with some oil, all the ingredients were added into it and they bloomed in the wok.

Only within an instant, the fragrance spread across the street.

People could not help but inhale deeply.

That was really no big deal for Helian Wei Wei. These were just simple steps when cooking a dish. The key was the next step, which was to add peanuts and chilies into the wok together.

With a quick stir-fry, the fragrant yet spicy smell blasted out of the wok, alluring the people around to eagerly take a sniff.

The actions following that were even faster. After the young garlic and celery were stir-fried until fragrant, the tree fungus and Shiitake mushrooms were next!

In ancient times, not many people knew how to differentiate poisonous and non-poisonous mushrooms.

So when Helian Wei Wei threw the Shiitake mushrooms into the wok, people were really surprised.

However, until the end when the peculiar flavor of Shiitake mushroom drifted through the air, it instantaneously made the people feel hungry!

The little one stood on his toes beside Helian Wei Wei, looking at the flavorsome dish in the wok. His saliva was at the brim of his mouth!

It was not only Little Seven who wanted to try the dish badly, but Chen Liang was also attracted to the smell. “Boss, what are you cooking? It smells so nice!”

“Well… Only Loving Jue Grilled Fish.” After Helian Wei Wei finished her sentence, she felt that she could not be smarter!!

One of the rules in the ‘Court Your Wife’ manual by the bossy president, was definitely to be cool as f*ck!

Naming something under his name was no big deal!

“Only Loving Jue Grilled Fish…” The Little Seventh Prince scratched his bald head and lifted his little face to look toward the teahouse opposite them…

As Shadow was relaying the name of the dish, his heart was beating more than 10 times faster than before!

“Heh.”

To his surprise, His Highness actually laughed! Besides, his laugh was so good-looking!

Was it because the name that the Princess Consort came up with was so st*pid that he laughed?

“The only loving Jue… Wei loving Jue. Very well, she has made progress at last.” Baili Jia Jue lifted the teacup in his hand and looked out of the window at the slender, jade-like figure. The curve at the corner of his mouth was more gentle than ever…

However, at this time, the onlookers who were originally just standing outside Bayview Seafood Restaurant now had the impulse to taste the dish in the wok!

Helian Wei Wei did not stop. While the saltwater fish was still grilling, she picked up the third knife. Holding the lobster’s back with her left hand, she made a small opening right in the middle and filled it with minced chicken meat from earlier. Next, she added some of the Shiitake mushrooms as well. Then, she spread a thin layer of honey on the lobster and placed it directly into the steamer.

After that, she scooped the red oil vegetable bottom out from the wok and placed it on an iron tray.

Under the tray was a small charcoal stove where there were woods from fruit trees. The fire was neither big nor small, yet just moderate.

After such a trick, the fragrance just now became more tempting.

Some of the people could no longer wait and had already taken a deep breath.

“I didn’t expect that Lord Wei could cook so well. The fragrance alone can make people salivate.”

“It’s a wonderful move to mix peanuts with chilies!”

“I really want to have a bite!”

The last sentence represented everyone’s thoughts.

Helian Wei Wei brought two big crabs onto the table. One was chopped and stir-fried with hot oil, whereas the other one was steamed with only onions. The two fragrances were entangled together and were constantly filling people’s nostrils, stimulating everyone’s taste bud.

“It smells so nice!” Even the two merchants who had been wandering around the world for many years could not help but ask curiously, “What did Lord Wei add into the dish? It’s so fragrant.”

“Pepper flavor.” Helian Wei Wei knew that no one in the War Dragon Empire had ever used spices as food additives. So, she took star anise and showed it to the two gentlemen.

Those two people had seen this kind of spice before, but they had never taken it seriously. The first time they smelled it, the odor was too strong, so they thought for certain that it was nothing good. They did not expect that it would smell so nice after adding it to the meat! What a magical thing!

The hot aroma filled the air and Helian Wei Wei knew that the lobster was almost done. She straightened her bamboo chopsticks and up she lifted the entire lobster from the steamer into a pot. She watered the lobster with some of its juices and poured half a cup of her own grape wine into the pot after opening it with her teeth. Then, she covered the pot with a lid!

Following that was the steamed crab which was pretty huge. Ordinary steaming seemed common, but right at the beginning, the fishy smell had already been removed by using just enough cooking wine and salt, leaving only the fresh, original flavor of the crab itself. It was served with some seasoned soy sauce for seafood and cold mixed fungus.

“Little Seven, remember to leave half of the dishes, so the rest of the villagers get to have a taste too.” Helian Wei Wei handed a big plate to the little one.

The little one nodded his head very seriously, then opened his mouth and took a crab leg. Without a word, he pushed the crab leg until it was right in front of the Old Master and stared at the old man with his tiny face. No one could ever reject him like that.

The old man took the bamboo chopsticks and only with a bite of the crab meat, the fragrance that lingered between his teeth made his eyes open wide at that moment!

He took a second bite right away!

“Hey, don’t just eat by yourself, Old Man Yu. Tell me quickly what the taste is like!”

“Delicious! I’ve never eaten this before, especially this sauce. It’s too delicious! ” Old Man Yu’s words aroused the curiosity among the people, wondering what would be Lord Wei’s next dish?

As it was obvious that they would not have the chance to touch or even taste the steamed crabs anymore…
