If he brought his own ingredients to the kitchen to process, although he wouldn't charge for the ingredients, he would have to pay for the processing. Even if he did it himself, as long as it occupied the kitchen space, he would have to pay. Yuchi Jinhai wasn't short of money, so of course he knew what to do.
Actually, Du Feng was a little embarrassed to cook for himself in front of so many chefs. However, he had already said it, so he could only bite the bullet and do it. Actually, the things he cooked were quite simple. It was just a few small seafood dishes. He really wanted to try something new.
Because restaurants liked to add all sorts of seasonings, the seafood was very complicated. There were all sorts of stir-frying, spicy stir-frying, onion and ginger, deep frying, powder wrapping, soaking, marinating, etc. Du Feng didn't like to eat those kinds of things. He liked to eat the original taste.
Honestly speaking, the restaurant's situation was suitable for entertaining guests. There were all sorts of decorations and it looked very classy. But Du Feng was a food connoisseur. He didn't want to eat the seafood that he personally picked.
Conch was boiled water with some salt and cooked slowly over low heat. It was fine as long as the meat wasn't overcooked. When it was time to eat, he just needed to remove the internal organs and fill the mouth with the remaining meat. Only then would he feel satisfied.
Octopus was also very simple. It was boiled water with some salt and cooked slowly over low heat. Then, he just dipped it in vinegar sauce and ate it directly. It felt great to eat a mouthful full of seeds. Du Feng didn't like those spicy stir-frying or deep-fried with soy sauce. He especially didn't like those that were chopped up.
The other small seafood dishes weren't difficult either. Only the red snapper was a little more difficult. The main thing was to test his knife skills. The fish had to be killed while it was still alive. After removing the scales, he started to slice it. The knife had to be fast. The fish was still moving when he sliced it. Each slice had to be evenly thick. After slicing, it had to be placed on a chilled jade plate to maintain its freshness. Also, it was best not to use a metal knife as it would make the meat smelly. A porcelain knife was fine, but a jade knife was better. Also, the knife had to be cold.
"Oh, he really is a martial artist. No wonder he doesn't like our dishes."
"Yeah, how could such a Young Master be a chef?"
When some chefs saw Du Feng's technique, they began to gossip. Originally, they thought that Du Feng was a young master who came to eat with Yuchi Jinhai. The so-called coming to the kitchen to cook by himself was just a gimmick. This was because many young masters of aristocratic families liked to pretend to be good men who could cook, but in the end, they cooked like sh * t.
However, Du Feng was different. As the saying went, an expert would know once he made a move. As soon as he made his move, he attracted the attention of the chefs. Especially the knife technique when slicing the fish, it was really amazing. Du Feng took a deep breath and suddenly swung his knife. All the fish scales were shaved off in a second. Then, he took a second breath and quickly swung his knife. In the blink of an eye, he had swung his knife more than a hundred times, and there were exactly 108 thin slices of fish meat.
"Brother Yuchi, let's go eat."
Yuchi Jinhai was stunned and only reacted when Du Feng called him. The dishes were ready, but they still needed to be carried to the main hall to eat.
"Alright, alright, I can't hold it in anymore."
At this point, he really swallowed his saliva. This was not an act, but a natural reaction. The food that Du Feng made was obviously very simple, but for some reason, it looked so tempting.
After the two of them sat down in the main hall, Yuchi Jinhai quickly picked up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. The temperature of the fish that had been chilled was just right and thin enough. It melted in his mouth and was full of fresh taste, but there was no fishy feeling.
Originally, he wanted to praise it for being delicious, but because he was too greedy and had no time to speak, he picked up another piece and put it in his mouth. Then the third, fourth, fifth … He was actually addicted to eating it.
Uh … Du Feng was speechless after seeing this, thinking that you should leave some for me. However, thinking that this was also the first time that Yuchi Jinhai had tasted his cooking, he simply did not fight with him for the fish. He peeled a conch and ate it first.
Huh? As soon as the conch meat entered his mouth, Du Feng himself was shocked. This was not right. How could it be so delicious? He had eaten a lot of seafood, but it had never been so delicious. The key was that after eating, there was a sense of penetration from the inside to the outside.
Was it because the sea in the Heavenly Realm was special, so the seafood in Sea City was especially delicious? However, looking at the way Yuchi Jinhai was eating, it did not seem to be the case. He had lived in Sea City for a long time and had eaten local seafood often. He should not be so greedy.
Then there was only one explanation left. It was the problem of the small world in the necklace. The seafood had just been kept in the sea in the small world, so there was a change. He quickly picked up a piece of fish and ate it. Sure enough, it was different from the red snapper he had eaten before.
After eating it, he felt his eyes light up. It was simply amazing. He did not expect that the biggest gain from this trip to Sea City was not some weapon, armor, or peerless cultivation technique, but delicious seafood. In that case, he could go out and buy more later and store it in the small world in the necklace.
"In your dreams. You'd better eat it now, or it will all be eaten by that kid."
As soon as Du Feng thought of this, he was dealt a blow by Du Tulong. He also told him that it was impossible to raise a large amount of seafood in the small world in the necklace. It was possible to raise it, but it would not be of such quality. The reason why this batch of seafood was delicious was that the environment in the small world in the necklace had been transformed. It was all thanks to the towering tree that it could transform.
The sea beasts that it had raised before were not of a high enough level, so they did not absorb such high-level energy. This batch of seafood had just been put in, and the energy accumulated for a long time had been absorbed by them. That was why it was so delicious. However, if it raised too many, the energy would be scattered, and the quality would not be so good.
After all, the high-level energy produced by the towering tree was also limited within a certain period of time. Therefore, to ensure the high quality of seafood, it was either to control the quantity or to raise it for a long time. It was impossible to put it in and take it out, and it would become the best delicacy.
Really? What was he waiting for? When Du Feng heard that this thing was limited, he could not let it go. Although the fish was delicious, the portion was small. He simply wanted to eat octopus, which did not need to be peeled.
"Brother Du, let me try this too."
At this time, Yuchi Jinhai had already eaten a plate of fish and came over to eat the octopus. Originally, he did not have much hope for the octopus, but his expression changed as soon as it entered his mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough …"
