717 Chapter 717: Vying for the Taotie’s Hooves (1/2)
The viscous syrup smeared on the pieces of Taotie's hooves, making them more shiny and radiant. At first glance, the dish would be able to unlock people's appetites.
Actually, it could be eaten right now, and its taste wouldn't be bad. However, to Bu Fang, it wasn't the final product.
He poured the soup out of the Black Turtle Constellation Wok and let it dry. After stepping back, he opened his mouth and sprayed a cluster of red-and-gold Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame with extreme temperature.
As soon as the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame joined the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, it instantly increased the temperature of the kitchen.
Bu Fang took a metal rack from the system dimensional bag, which he used to use in the Magical Hand Conference. Now, it wasn't a bad choice to grill the hooves.
Setting up the rack above the Black Turtle Constellation Wok, Bu Fang extended his hand above it to feel the heat. Then, he began to place the syrup-coated Taotie's hooves on the grill rack.
Since the Taotie's hoof was as big as a tree trunk, which needed two people to circle, each piece was still huge even though it was chopped into eight pieces.
However, Bu Fang could enlarge or shrink the Black Turtle Constellation Wok with his thought, so it wasn't a problem to hold eight pieces of the Taotie's hoof.
But still, the metal rack wasn't big enough.
This metal rack was designed for barbecues previously, but now, being used to grill eight pieces of the Taotie's hoof at the same time, it was a little difficult.
Thus, Bu Fang had to divide them, despite being a little reluctant. He could only grill four pieces at a time.
Placing four pieces of syrup-coated Taotie's hoof on the grill, Bu Fang held the Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife in one hand. As the Heaven and Earth Obsidian Flame increased the heat, the Taotie's hooves also changed dramatically.
The skin smeared with syrup slowly turned crispy. The smell of meat was now added with a light aroma of syrup and many different spirit herbs.
The Dragon Bone Kitchen Knife swayed, and the Taotie's hooves were rolled over, changing the side to be cooked.
Drops of oil from the Taotie's hooves slowly dripped, but they didn't splash. They were shiny and bright, like pearls hanging on the pieces of meat.
Next, Bu Fang released his mental energy. He controlled the flame with one hand while the other rolled the grilled pieces. It would retain the heat and allow the flavors to seep further into the meat.
The aroma slowly rose. Bu Fang himself had his mouth water as he inhaled the smell.
”Really fragrant.” It was the first time Bu Fang smelled something that good.
He sprinkled the spirit herb powder he had prepared well on the Taotie's hooves. Once that was done, the Taotie's hooves appeared to be more enticing with shining dots emerging on the red skin. The steam and fragrance wound around. Under the light, it looked as beautiful as emeralds. Too magnificent to behold.
He prepared a fancy, huge porcelain plate.
Bu Fang's knife wielded, sending a well-grilled piece of Taotie's hoof to the porcelain plate. The largest plate he got could hold two pieces of the hoof.
Thus, Bu Fang arranged the hooves, then brought it to the window where he sent the food out of the kitchen.
”Nethery, serve the food,” Bu Fang indifferently called through the window.
At that moment, Nethery was sitting neatly on her seat. With her gem-like, exquisite nose up in the air, she was smelling the aroma of grilled meat.
After hearing Bu Fang's call, her eyes brightened, and her slender body jolted up. The long, black hair cascaded.
She didn't hesitate and turned around and left. Shortly after, she reached the window.
”Hey, bring the two grilled Taotie's hooves out,” Bu Fang said calmly as he looked at the excited Nethery.
Nethery nodded and received the porcelain plate from Bu Fang's hands. As soon as she got the dish out of the window, the thick aroma slapped her face, gushing towards her.
”Okay. Smells so good…”
The smell contained the special thick aroma of the Taotie's meat, and the vigorous, abundant spirit energy and essence. Those energies seemed to become real matter, making the Taotie's hooves shiny with radiance.
Nethery's eyes were glued to the Taotie's hooves. She cutely stuck her tongue out and licked around her red lips.
In the next moment, she lowered her head, biting the piece of hoof that wasn't far from her mouth.
After one bite of the Taotie's hoof, Nethery immediately felt her vision blurring. While her mouth was humming, she carried the plate to the table by instinct.
Everybody's eyes were fixed on the grilled Taotie's hooves, and they all took a deep breath.
The grilled hooves were so magnificent and exquisite like a masterpiece of art. People all felt their hearts racing then contracting.
The aroma wound and rose together with spirit energy. When they saw the hooves, they seemed to see a god-like, beautiful Taotie running to the sunset…
Nethery didn't even bat an eye. She used both of her hands to grab a piece of Taotie's hoof.
Chomp.
She got a large bite of the pleasant, aromatic soft meat. The pink-and-white meat was revealed, steaming hot.
Nethery's small mouth slightly opened, releasing the hot steam.
So good.
Nethery's eyes got brighter. Her mouth continually chewed and swallowed. Then, she raised the big hoof and bit again.
Chomp. Chomp.
Her little mouth curved happily as she ate in bliss. Her heart was extremely delighted.
”The grilled Taotie's hoof is really delicious! Compared to the Dragon Blood Rice, it's too delicious to put aside!” Nethery thought. She continued to chomp, wanting to finish the whole big hoof.
Looking at Nethery eating delightedly, the others couldn't help it.
Chu Changsheng, Yang Meiji, Sorceress An Sheng, Nangong Wuque, and Xiao Ya, who was standing on a chair, were surrounding the last piece of grilled Taotie's hoof on the plate. They exchanged looks, their eyes extremely sharp.
Xiao Ya's drool was like rancid oil. She extended her petite hands, attempting to grab the grilled hoof.
