Chapter 237 Preparing to Cook a Seafood Dinner
"The babies are back!"
Ruan Tang's heart finally settled down. She supported herself on the recliner and tried to sit up, but her belly was too big and her movements were a bit clumsy. She couldn't get up after several attempts.
Chi Yuan and Mo Ran casually threw the cubs in their hands and rushed to Ruan Tang's side, holding her arms on the left and right. Two extremely pleasant and mature men's voices rang out, both of them were unspeakably gentle: "I'll help you."
Mo Bai and Bai Lang, who were a step behind: ...
This speed is unmatched!
Long Ming, who was reluctant to throw away the cubs, looked at the cubs in his hands:? ?
Mo Xiaojiu waved her little hands, gently patted Father Longming's arm and said comfortingly, "It's okay, Father Longming. Mother doesn't like partners who always like to abandon their cubs."
Long Ming's golden eyes flashed. He knew that the little brat was trying to comfort him, but he still liked to hear it.
Sure enough, Ruan Tang's voice rang out from the other side: "Why did you abandon the children again? They are carrying so many things, what if they break?"
Hearing their mother's voice, the cubs no longer felt wronged. The cubs that were thrown far away by their fathers ran back from a distance, shouting as they ran: "Mom! We are back, don't worry, we are not hurt."
Ruan Tang stopped blaming her two companions. Long Ming placed Qingqing Mo Xiaojiu on the beach and patted his head as a reward. "Go, show your mother today's catch."
"Okay!" Mo Xiaojiu's supernatural powers have improved rapidly recently due to the guidance of his father Long Ming, and today's prey is particularly abundant.
Mo Xiaojiu panted as he ran towards his mother, shouting, "Mom, I'm here. I'll show you what I've gained today. It's a lot!"
"it is good."
Chi Shiba also carried a large animal hide bag and ran over to report to his mother: "Mom, we caught so much seafood today!"
"Good boy."
The animal hide bag Chi Shiwu was carrying was bigger and heavier than Xiao Shiba's. "Mom, my first prey on the seabed was a huge, long eel! Father Longming said it was delicious. I'll have Father Mo Ran cook it for you later."
"it is good."
Ruan Tang looked at the children's smiling faces and responded to each of them with a smile.
"Mom, I hunted several really, really cunning octopuses! They always tried to slip into tiny crevices, so I had to chase them for ages before I could catch them. I was so tired I almost collapsed. I'll tear them into pieces in no time!"
Jingchu was angry when he thought about hunting the octopus today. He threw the animal skin bag on the ground and went to his mother's legs and asked, "Mom, how do I cook this octopus to make it taste the best?"
"Okay, I'll tell you how to make it delicious later."
Ruan Tang sat up and pushed the two men away. They had a salty and fishy smell on them, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She took a few buckets of water from the space and asked them to wash themselves clean.
"It seems like the kids had a lot of fun today. Mother was worried that you wouldn't be able to adapt."
Yi Han's harvest today was also very rich. "Yeah, I'm so happy. Grandpa Longming condensed large bubbles for us. We are not unaccustomed to it. Come on, get some large bamboo tubes and we'll pour out all the seafood in the bag for you to see. There are so many varieties! Grandpa Longming said these are all very delicious."
"Yes, mother, we are not feeling uncomfortable at all. We are having a great time. Come on, bring us a big bucket."
The little cubs came over one after another, carrying animal skin bags, and each of them put the full bag in front of their mother for her to see.
Lin Yeqing was awakened by the chirping of the children. Rubbing her eyes, she saw their happy faces and gave them a big thumbs up. "It's great that the babies have gained so much on their first trip to the sea! Aunt Ye will benefit from the babies' kindness at noon again."
When her companions saw her wake up, they all gathered around and showed her what they had hunted. "We hunted a lot too. Ye Zi, just tell us how you want to eat it and we'll learn how to make it for you."
Lin Yeqing saw the full animal hide bags in front of them, "So many!"
The males were delighted when they saw the sparkling light in her eyes and nodded heavily, "Yes!"
"Hehe, we're not competing with you for your favor, look how anxious the uncles are." Little Fifteen covered his mouth and laughed teasingly.
Handsome and handsome men: ...
They couldn't win an argument with this little Fifteen.
"You guys go wash too." She also took out a few buckets of water from the space. They came back from the sea, and the seawater on their bodies had dried up, and salt crystals would form soon.
Males: ...
They seem to be disliked!
Not wanting to disappoint their partners, a dozen males quickly ran to the side with water to wash themselves.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"It's not right to laugh at your elders." Ruan Tang took out the bamboo tube and handed it to the children. "Put it in the bucket and clean it. Mother will teach you how to make a seafood feast in a while."
"Okay!"
Qi Xuan and Ling Ze had already built a stone stove in the dense forest and made a pot of sweet cassava soup for Ruan Tang.
Qi Xuan said, "Ruan Ruan, please bring out a wooden table. The sweet soup is ready and can be drunk once it cools down."
"it is good."
The table was moved to a sunless place in the woods. The sweet soup was just served and the males who were bathing came back.
Mo Ran saw that the cubs had already poured all the seafood from the animal hide bags into the bamboo buckets, "Not bad, they are all still alive."
"Ruan Ruan, it's hot and sunny here. I'll condense some ice for you. You can go over there and sit down and rest. You can also tell us how to make these things." He pointed to the stone stove under the shade of the tree over there.
Ruan Tang stood up and said, "Well, let's go."
Among the family's companions, Long Ming was the worst at cooking, so he especially cherished every opportunity Ruan Tang gave them to teach him how to cook. He followed Ruan Tang closely and said, "I will learn well. Although I grew up in the Southern Continent, I don't know much about how to make these foods taste better. Ruan Ruan, teach me."
"it is good."
Ruan Tang felt that Long Ming had changed a lot in the past few months of being with her. She still remembered that when she first met him, he always had a cold and aloof demeanor and didn't want to talk to anyone.
She smiled and waved to all her companions, asking them to follow her. "Come on, let's all learn. If nothing goes wrong, we'll be staying here for a while. If everyone learns how to cook seafood, I won't go hungry in the future."
The males quickly followed. They certainly wouldn't let her go hungry, and they learned how to cook much faster than Ye Zi's companions.
"Ye Zi, Yuri and I also built a stone stove."
The goddess and her partner had said before that they would teach everyone how to cook after they came back from catching seafood, so when Ruiyi and Yuri saw Qixuan Lingze building a stone stove, they also went to find stones and built two.
"Then I'll condense a few useful pots."
Lin Yeqing condensed her supernatural power in her palm. Her gold-type supernatural power was already at the middle stage of the fifth level, so it was easy for her to condense a few pieces of metal cutlery. However, this supernatural power did not seem to exist in the beast world, so she rarely used it in front of others unless it was a life-saving moment.
But today, they want to make a seafood feast, and using a stone pot is too lame.
Although the partners had seen it countless times, they couldn't help but be shocked every time they saw all kinds of golden things condensed from her palms. They had never seen other orcs use such special abilities, so they knew that their partners, like the goddess, were little females favored by the Beast God!
He gathered the pots and pans and asked his friends to take them to Ruan Tang and her family. He waved his hands in front of his friends and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Are you staring blankly? Come on, I'll teach you how to cook delicious food too."
Lin Yeqing had a resort hotel by the sea in her previous life. She liked eating seafood, so she learned a lot of seafood recipes from the hotel’s chef. She didn’t expect that she would be able to use them in this life.
"Hmm!" The males withdrew their thoughts and saw their partners smiling happily. Even if she said she was stupid, Ruiyi and the others were naturally very happy.
She gave birth soon, and they had just arrived in the southern continent. Everyone was nervous, afraid that the food they cooked would not suit her taste and that they would not be able to take good care of her, so they would definitely learn how to cook these sea foods from her and the goddess today.
The group came to the woods and saw four stoves, surrounded by people of all sizes.
Ruan Tang took a shovel and supported her chin with her hand as if thinking. Her partner and children stood in a circle waiting for her to speak.
"Mom, we've washed these ingredients with clean water and packed them in categories. You can use them anytime."
When the cubs saw their mother looking at the seafood in the bamboo bucket with a shovel but not touching it, they thought that their mother disliked the ingredients because they were dirty.
In fact, Ruan Tang was struggling with which of the many varieties she should teach them to make first.
King crab, lobster, scallops, eel, sea urchin, starfish, abalone, sea cucumber, octopus... there are so many.
She looked at the bucket of cleaned eels and said to her companions, "Chop the eels into small pieces. Our first dish will be grilled eel in soy sauce."
"Then, cut the octopus into slightly longer pieces. Let's grill it on a teppanyaki plate."
"Okay." The males quickly took it to the prepared stone table and cut it into pieces.
"Then I will teach you how to make a braised sea cucumber with green onions. Tangtang, please give me some green onions later." This dish was a famous dish in the previous life.
"Okay, hehe, I'm looking forward to eating what you cook." Ruan Tang looked at Lin Yeqing's calm and composed appearance and felt that the leaves should taste better than what she cooked.
Lin Yeqing had an expression that said, "Is there any need to say this?" and said, "Just wait, I'll serve you a feast soon."
Then he said to his companions, "Ruiyi, go cut these sea cucumbers into small pieces."
If it were the small sea cucumbers from the previous life, they could be roasted whole without being cut into small pieces, but the creatures in this Beast World Continent are all incredibly large, and it is impossible to cook them without cutting them into pieces.
"Well, then you sit for a while." Rui Yi took the bucket and went to the stone table to deal with it.
Seeing that Ruan Tang hadn't started teaching yet, Long Ming picked up the bucket of seafood and said to the others, "Let's go. I'll teach you how to prepare these seafood."
"Yes, you guys prepare all the ingredients first, then we can get started."
She was also telling Ling Lingjiu to find more tutorials on how to cook seafood. She would just follow their instructions and learn as she went along. However, she had always had a talent for cooking, and the food usually tasted very good after she carefully cooked it after watching some tutorials.
