716 Chapter 716: Set up the Stove to Grill Taotie’s Hooves (2/2)

Bu Fang exhaled deeply. However, he didn't dare to relax his mental energy, which was now like a stretched bowstring.

He could feel that it was almost the right time.

Bu Fang retrieved his mental energy and carried out the next step.

When grilling the Taotie's hoof, the pre-processing was very important to make it a delicious dish. If the pre-processing weren't done well, after that, it would be very difficult to make the taste seep deeper.

And, to be more tasty, it required a thick marinade.

Bu Fang got a marinade, but it was used to cook Stinky Tofu. Since it got a strange taste, he couldn't use it to marinate the Taotie's hoof.

Thus, Bu Fang had to buy marinade from the system with a lot of crystals.

Bu Fang walked to the cabinet, where he took the marinade he had just bought from the system. Opening the cabinet, he saw a box with several cubes of frozen marinade inside.

Well, the cubes of marinade weren't bad.

Bu Fang took a cube of marinade then walked back to the Black Turtle Constellation Wok. He didn't change the wok. Instead, he cleaned almost all of the foam and carefully placed the cube of marinade into it.

In just a blink of an eye, the soup rose and engulfed the cube. The color of the soup began to change.

As the frozen marinade cube melted, the brown soup tumbled in the wok. The aroma of spirit herbs and spirit materials blended together and seeped into the Taotie's hoof.

Foam appeared in the wok again, and Bu Fang continued to skim off the foam diligently.

Of course, this time, while cleaning the foam, he also trimmed off the excess ingredients with abundant spirit energy.

Next, he added a bit of Abyssal Chili Sauce. It would make the Taotie's hoof tastier.

After cooking for a while, he skimmed off the foam one more time. When it boiled again, there was no foam anymore. Bu Fang took out some ice crystals that looked like crystal rock sugar and added them into the wok.

Next, he added a bit of soy sauce to make the color of the soup richer, making it more attractive. After that, he waited for it to boil again.

The process of treating the Taotie's hoof before grilling it was a long project. Of course, after spending a lot of time, the Black Turtle Constellation Wok started to diffuse the irresistibly rich cooked meat fragrance.

This meat fragrance seemed to have magic that drew in and settle people's souls. Eventually, its rolling aroma slowly permeated from the kitchen into the dining area.

Those who were sitting at the table were dazed. They wrinkled their noses, taking in the mouth-watering fragrance in the air.

Lord Dog was leaning against the Path-Understanding Tree, snoring. But, soon, it opened its eyes and sniffed. Its eyes looked thrilled after smelling such an aroma.

”Wow, so good! This meat aroma… How could it be so rich? It's lingering in people's hearts and just won't melt away!” Yang Meiji rubbed her big fists as she said this, talking with an enchanted face.

Sorceress An Sheng's ample breasts bounced as she blushed. The smell was so good that she didn't want to let it out after inhaling.

Nethery's eyes brightened as she gazed at the kitchen.

Nangong Wuque's worn-out appearance changed, and his mouth watered. ”It smells so good! Too enchanting!”

Luo Danqing opened his eyes and paused the recovery of his injuries. Just like the others, he began to sniff the meat aroma in the air.

Chu Changsheng acted with restraint. No matter what, he was the Great Elder of the Valley of Gluttony. What food he had never seen? What kind of fragrance he had never smelled?

He looked at the others, who didn't mind their public image, and his white beard raised. Such a bunch of kids that haven't seen enough of society…

Gulp. Gulp.

Chu Changsheng swallowed hard several times. He rubbed his nose and took a deep breath.

The meat aroma attacked his nostrils, making his eyes bright with glee!

”The Taotie's meat is, indeed, worthy of its praise! According to the records of the Valley of Gluttony, it's an amazing delicacy!” Chu Changsheng said in a delighted voice. Now, he was really looking forward to it.

Taotie meat was a high-quality cooking ingredient. Naturally, not any chef could cook it. Without sufficient competence, they would suffer loss from cooking this grade of dish.

Even the First-grade Chefs of the Valley of Gluttony were so sure of being capable of processing this kind of cooking ingredients!

What other dishes Bu Fang could cook?

Chu Changsheng somewhat looked forward to it. He came here to bring Xiao Ya to the Valley of Gluttony to receive the inheritance. But for now, he should taste first the Taotie's meat before leaving.

If he missed that delicacy, it would be a serious mistake, and he would surely regret it.

…

Meanwhile, inside the kitchen, Bu Fang added a bit of crystal salt into the boiling Black Turtle Constellation Wok, making the dish tastier.

After the soup had been boiling for a while, he retrieved the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame.

Taking back the flame, he added several drops of specially-made sauce. It wasn't the typical sauce to stir-fry vegetables. It was Bu Fang's special sauce to keep the food fresh and tasty.

At that moment, the first part was done.

He fished out the now orange and cooked pieces of Taotie's hoof, drained them from the soup, and carefully placed them on a fancy, large porcelain tray.

Bu Fang stepped back and took a deep breath.

After the pieces of Taotie's hoof cooled down to a warm temperature, he meticulously smeared each piece with well-prepared syrup.

Bu Fang was now about to start the final step.

He set up the stove, preparing to grill the pieces of Taotie's hoof!
