Yao Shi clearly intended to showcase his skills in front of Fu Yu today. With scissors in hand, he dealt with the shrimp whiskers, claws, and veins, then cleaned and drained them.
Next, he tackled abalone, razor clams, and squid.
He washed what needed washing, cut what needed cutting, piled them together, added Jiang Mo, cooking wine, black pepper powder, soy sauce, and salt, and marinated them evenly.
While the seafood was marinating, he prepared other ingredients—slicing onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers.
He cleaned the seafood mushrooms.
He cubed the potatoes and carrots.
He parboiled the potatoes, carrots, and fish balls until fully cooked, drained them...
Yao Shi prepared the sauce and handed it to Fu Yu, saying, "Here, have a taste."
Fu Yu took it, dipped a bit with his finger, put it in his mouth, and immediately widened his eyes, blurting out, "Whoa..."
Zhao Meng and Sun Qingning turned simultaneously to stare at Fu Yu.
