As soon as the system was so interrupted, Gu Chen suddenly remembered a small detail that was sealed in the corner of his memory.

Among the Valoran continental delicacies that he and Zhou Tianna collected, the most inconspicuous one was the lobster seafood pie at the Canyon Tenderness Bar, but after getting acquainted with the bar's owner, Ezreal, he once had dinner and regretted mentioning this popular signature dish in Germany, which was just a clumsy imitation, and the real perfection was the ancient recipe from the manatee chef.

Gu Chen took a bite of charcoal-grilled squid larvae, although the squid is not freshly baked, it still tastes elastic and flavorful, and the most outstanding thing is a kind of original and pure mellow fragrance that lingers on the tip of the tongue and belongs to the ocean.

There is supposed to be a mysterious seasoning, both in soups and grilled squid, and it only takes a little bit to make a huge difference to the overall taste, similar to the good taste potion of Sinjid, or what the connection between the two will be.

In any case, at present, we must first obtain the approval of the Great Elder of the Manatee Clan before we have a chance to solve this doubt.

He looked at the dazzling array of seafood in the sink, and casually asked the patrol guard Ah Lu who was waiting respectfully, "Is all the manatee family's food done in this kitchen?" ā€

"This is the back kitchen of the manatee guard canteen, every day when we change shifts and patrols to rest, we come here to find food, Aunt Susan, who is responsible for cooking here, is the best manatee chef, she is also responsible for the diet of the elder, the fish and shrimp here are also the guards patrolling the surrounding waters, and they are the freshest and fattest."

Gu Chen picked up a shell with a dark greenish-brown surface on the side of the sink, there was a vent on the side, and the purple, green, white and other colors on the inside of the shell reflected each other, and asked it: "You said that the seafood here is the fattest, why is this so small?" ā€

Ah Lu obviously didn't want to pay attention to this, and said: "This is called the nine-hole snail, also known as the ears of the ocean, every family in our clan breeds fish and shrimp, and they are used to putting one or two on the edge of the tank, which means to listen to the sound of the ocean, and they usually don't eat it." It's something we often see when we're patrolling the sea. ā€

"Then please help me catch some nine-hole snails, the bigger the better, I'm tired." Gu Chen thought for a moment and said.

Although Ah Lu didn't understand it very well, there was an order from above to meet the needs of the distinguished guests for ingredients, and he still dutifully went to find it.

The nine-hole snails he retrieved were all at least the size of a bowl, Gu Chen looked at it, was very satisfied, and said, "This is not good, you need other seafood." ā€

Ah Lu couldn't help but kindly remind: "We manatees never eat this thing, it tastes fishy and astringent when cooked, and the mouth is full of mud and sand when we eat it." ā€

Gu Chen just smiled confidently and said, "Since the Great Elder is the most famous gourmand in the Valoran Continent, he must make some ingenious dishes for him to appreciate." ā€

Ingenuity?

The manatee Ah Lu looked at the terrible filthy shell of the nine-hole snail in horror, and remembered the shell meat that was so hard that it couldn't chew it when it was slightly cooked, and then raised its eyes to see that Gu Chen's eyes were almost the same as when he looked at Ah Shou just now, and it began to rub towards the door involuntarily, find the patrol companions, and ask them to help return the abnormal behavior of the two gourmets.

Zhou Tianna watched Ah Lu sneakily slide out of the door, sneered, turned to Gu Chen and said, "You seem to be scared of that little manatee, but what is this?" I haven't seen it either. ā€

"Abalone." The system rushed to answer in her head.

"Abalone has been regarded as the "crown of seafood treasures" since ancient times, and its meat is tender and smooth, which is not comparable to other seafood. ā€

"Abalone is divided into two kinds of dried and fresh, this is fresh net abalone, the weight is about two and three ends, which is rare."

"Dried abalone is made by drying fresh abalone.

At first, it was a last resort to make seafood into dry goods, but over a long time, it has accumulated a complete set of experience in brewing, making and cooking dried products, which can give abalone a softer taste and more mellow aroma. ā€

"Is the kind of warm abalone fresh or dry?" Gu Chen suddenly asked the system, he found an unused toothbrush in the space to scrub the dirty abalone shell, and then dug out the abalone meat whole, cut off the hard tissue in the middle and around it, and cleaned the attached mucus with coarse salt.

The system replied: "After some abalone is thoroughly fermented, its flesh will show a coagulated shape, which is commonly known as "soft-hearted abalone". These abalone are like agar, sweet and rich, and delicious. At the same time, after fermentation, the texture of the meat will be relatively relaxed, and it will be much more palatable to eat. ā€

Zhou Tianna listened in a daze, and suddenly remembered that she had cooked a full Han banquet before, and stockpiled some dried abalone, and took it out to take a look, and sure enough, it was like agar as the system said, and the flesh was condensed.

Gu Chen looked at her hand and smiled faintly, the matter of the ingredients in the Manchu Han banquet was in reserve before the system bound him, and the system master's introduction was such a noisy introduction, which was a change of method to remind Zhou Tianna of the existence of these dried abalones.

It seems that the system is also eager to get the secret of the manatee people's food to make the food full of the delicious taste of the sea.

The night in the ocean is magnificent, and the manatee lighting fixtures were custom-made from Hextech Plaza in Piltover, and the starfish-shaped night lights are everywhere, and the light is soft and pleasant, reflecting the blue of the underwater world.

Aunt Susan, Manatee, hears that gourmets have come to taste her craft and is ready to prepare a dinner that will last a lifetime.

The manatee patriarch, who had already received the tip, felt that it was boring for Gu Chen and the two to cook with nine-hole snails, and they would definitely not be able to enter the eyes of the Great Elder, so they were a lot more relieved.

As for the Grand Elder of the Manatee Clan, he expressed his appreciation for the fact that there was a chef outside the Manatee Clan who planned to cook for him, after all, he had not met such a courageous young man for many years.

Before starting the meal, it begins with a tasting of the food that two young gourmets have prepared for it.

The Great Elder of the Manatee pushed his reading glasses, looked at the dish in front of him with amazement, and asked, "This is made of a nine-hole snail?" ā€

"Yes, this is the practice of our hometown, please taste it from the Great Elder."

As a container, the abalone shell shines with a faint pearl-like brilliance, and in a thick and fragrant soup inside, the beige crystal soft ** meat is warmed in it, the heart is round and smooth, and the trembling exudes an attractive fragrance.

"Something I've never seen before." The Great Elder of the Manatee sighed with emotion, stretched out his silver knife and fork, intending to taste the taste.
