The Big Dipper and Three Extreme Fillings
âOld Panty! Serve the juice to the Three Fillings!â Old Wang was done with the fillings. The ghostly eel bit the honey pythonâs tail and the other way round happened, representing the circle of life. Immediately, Panty Uncle tossed the bowl to him and Old Wang caught it. He placed the ice birdâs bile into the bowl and crushed it. Instantly, the juice froze. He pinched a handful and coated on the eel and python. âOpen the mouth!â
Old Li poked the mouth of the abalone with the back of his knife. As the three fillings filled the mouth, the golden olive oil leaked out, moisturizing it. With the pattern of the Big Dipper, the closely arranged incisions looked as if they were stars in the night sky. From the side view through the incisions, one could see the two âdragonsâ swallowing each otherâs tails as the meat became to look translucent due to the oil. As the freezing sauce spread over, the incisions and oil formed an illumination of beautiful and shiny light.
âAreâŠareâŠthese food? They are so beautiful that Iâm reluctant to eat it.â Everyone was amazed, especially that they could finish handling the Big Dipper and Three Extreme Fillings in such a short period of time. Some of the great chefs from abroad shook their heads in amazement. âThey are true as the rumors said. What a wonderful Big Dipper and Three Extreme Fillings and the Colorful Shirt with Golden Rosette. Letâs go. Lin Haiâs chefs are crazy. Making the geoduck to shoot in seconds, the hand of a thousand knives, flame dance pinching, dragon-flower cutting, master of food decoration. Wait, the word âmasterâ itself is not enough to describe them. That figure is totally fabulous. They are all great chefs that you could only meet once in a lifetime. There are too many things for us to digestâŠâ
âQuickly get back to your seats! The light is about to pass through the first star!â Old Wang shouted as he sat on his seat, wiping his sweat exhaustedly.
Panty Uncle and Ye Cang immediately jumped back to their seats.
Meanwhile, Old Li was already in place. With a knife on his left, he cut off the first star and sliced the fresh abalone with his right hand. Then, he distributed all the slices onto the dinersâ plate accurately while they were still in mid-air. âEnjoy your food.â
Wu Na was curious, âWell, when are we going to eat those two dragons?â
âWhen the light passes the seventh star and the dragons appear, thatâs the best timing.â Lin Liang smiled as he picked up the abalone slices and ate them. He squinted his eyes. âThe freshest and most delicious food in the world! The Big Dipper and the twin dragons. Lin Liang is extremely excited.â
âAre you exaggerating?â Wu Na then became speechless as she ate her slice. The food was so fresh that she dared not open her mouth, worrying that the aroma would leak out if she does so.
Ye Cang ate it and said with a soft but proud tone, âItâs average, more or less the same as what I did. Next time, let me handle alone and Iâll make an enhanced version for all of you. I guarantee mine would taste better than this!â
Zhang Zhengxiong and the others who were enjoying the food immediately shook their heads in disagreement.
Observing the process from the second star to the sixth star, the people were dumbfounded. At last, the light gradually approaches the seventh star and everyone felt a second passed more slowly than usual as the twin âdragonsâ absorbed the juice.
âLetâs start the steamboat since we might need to wait for the seventh star.â Old Li wiped his sweat with his towel.
âMeatball! Meatball!â Lin Le was excitedly swinging his legs.
âLilâWhite, please donât let the meatballs fall from herâŠâ Not waiting for Marilyn to finish her sentence, Ye Cang pierced his fingers into it. âWhat did you say?â
As he pulled out his fingers, all kinds of meatball fell from the butt of the goddess into the soup in an insulting manner.
âYou just have to ruin such a nice dish.â Marilyn was speechless as she facepalmed.
âWhy is the food so hot?â SpyingBlade stared at the dish on his plate.
âExcept that the Chilling Bamboo Shoot must be cooked in the white pot, Jealousy Mushroom in the black and not with more than five stirs, you can cook the others in any pot you like. Itâs best for you to stir all the other thrice. Any additional stirs would reduce the taste by half.â Lin Liang flapped his feathered fan.
âFlapping a fan in the middle of winter, are you stupid and perverted or you just like put on an act?!â Lin Le turned around and scolded Lin Liang when he got in contact with the wind.
ââŠâŠâ Lin Liang sighed and stuck the fan back to his waist.
Calm down. Calm down.
âNever thought that youâre a good taster.â Old Wang smiled.
âNot a real taster, to be precise. I just happen to know a little. Iâm just embarrassing myself in front of all these master chefs.â Lin Liang said humbly.
âNah, we arenât masters. These are just practical work for us. As long as the customers are happy and satisfied with the food, we are good. Didnât we choose to be chefs because of this reason?â Old Wang smiled as he swung his hands. Lin Liang instantly respected him.
One must respect every career.
âCanât believe Old Wang shares the same thought as I do. Indeed a great chef.â With a nod, Ye Cang praised him.
âNo, no, no, the two of you are totally different. What he does is real cooking but yours are biological experiments. He is a chef but you are at most a mad scientist, worst still, a master ranked mad and wicked scientist.â On the side, FrozenCloud and the others shook their heads and pondered.
âAlright, alright, stop the nonsense and start eating.â Flasher Uncle started to cook his food.
Suddenly, Lin Liang and Lin Le picked the same intestine of the sky bird coincidentally. Both of them glared at each other. Lin Leâs left eye turned red in an instance. âStupid cobbler, give it to him.â
âButcher Lin, why do you always go against me?â Lin Liang talked to Lin Sen through telepathy conveniently.
âDamn it. Originally, you people said that Iâm just going to be separated from my body but in the end, I turned out guarding my own bloodline. Such a wicked idea! Donât you dare say that you arenât the one who gave that fella this hell of an idea!â
âI was only giving a suggestion. It was Wudi and Wutian who chose the idea. (They are LinLinâs uncles)â
âBullsh*t! I was drinking with Lin Wudi and Lin Wutian the day before! Nevermind, Iâm not going to deal with you now. The three hundred years promise! I can go out after three hundred years and you would have to stay here since you are willing to.â
âWeâll discuss that some other time when Brother Lin comes back. Actually, Iâm getting bored these days and there are still tens of years until the three hundred promise is fulfilled. It might be too early to discussâŠâ
âHmph! Let go!â
Lin Le snatched the intestine and his eyes returned to normal. âHehe, I won!â
*Sigh* Lin Liang sighed deeply and took another one. After three stirs and a blow, he ate it.
Food is the best medicine for all problems.
Suddenly, he took out a jar of blue wine. âHow can we not have wine to pair with such nice food? I, Lin Liang humbly present you a jar of wine.â
âWhat wine is that? Let me smell.â Flasher Uncle casually opened the lit and smelt it. A warm smell filled the atmosphere and the sensation was just beyond description. By just smelling it, even a non-drinker would be eager to give it a try.
âPurplish Gold Begonia, Lycoris, and Iced Crystal Lily. The main ingredient is Void Flower. Yuâs Wine of the Hundreds Flowers â the Void Brew.â Panty Uncle closed his eyes and smiled.
âWow, not bad. Canât believe youâre so generous, feathered fan guy.â Flasher Uncle immediately poured himself a bowl and for the others too. The portion was perfect as each of them had a bowl, not a drop more and not a drop less
âThe Void BrewâŠsounds cool. What is it?â Zhang Zhengxiong whispered to FrozenCloud.
âOne of the specialties of the Hundred Flower Yu Family. Iâve only heard dad mention it once. Those who can collect such great wine are not any ordinary person.â FrozenCloud replied while being curious and scared of Lin Liangâs background at the same time.
Which big family does he come from?! His surname is Lin. Donât tell meâŠ
âIt is indeed a good wine.â Ye Cang took a smell, being retardedly a step behind the others.
Itâs so tempting.
âYou didnât put any weird stuff inside, did you? Like aphrodisiac or any kind. There was once when I drank someoneâs good wine and I ended up being raped. *sigh* What a horrible memory that I donât want to rememberâŠâ Scenes of his trauma with an ill-intentioned woman flashed through his mind again.
ââŠâŠâ Everyone was speechless.
