"Gulp."
Three gulping sounds sounded almost at the same time.
"T-this is too fragrant, isn't it?" Ivan, who was sitting in front of the stove, couldn't help but look into the courtyard next door. This was an aroma he had never smelled before. It was his first time knowing that food could give off such a wonderful aroma. It was countless times more delicious than the fragrant soil in the backyard.
"Smells so good. It really smells so good." Justin had already climbed up from the ground, and was holding onto the railing as he looked into the courtyard next door. That male demon was flipping the big fish on the grill. He had a brush in his hand, and was brushing something onto the fish. After a while, he took a small jar and sprinkled some powdery substance onto the fish. It was as if he had injected a soul into it, and the aroma of the fish was instantly stimulated.
"Wah!"
Justin cried on the spot. He hugged the railing, and turned to Gemina as he cried, "Mother, I want to eat that too …"
Meg, who put down the cumin powder jar, turned around in surprise. He didn't expect the kid next door to really cry because of his craving.
"Wow, the little brother next door is craving for it. But this grilled fish is ours." Amy sat on a chair at the side, and declared her ownership with a serious expression.
"Meow!"
Ugly Duckling meowed to show its agreement.
"What are you thinking about? Don't you feel embarrassed?" Gemina smashed her fist on Justin's head, and directly hammered half of his head into the ground, just enough to retract his face.
"So cruel." Amy shrank her head, and glanced at Meg and Irina. It seemed like Father and Mother were really super nice to her.
"Sorry, my child gets hungry very quickly. Once he's hungry, he'll want to eat everything, even soil. His favorite dish is the turtle stew I made." Gemina smiled at Meg and the others, and then glanced at Ivan, who was staring at the grilled fish and swallowing his saliva.
"Yes, yes, yes. Our whole family loves to eat turtle stew the most." Ivan shuddered, and nodded hurriedly.
"It's alright. He's a child, after all. It's all the same." Meg nodded. He was amazed by his neighbor's cruel parenting style. As for whether the child really liked to eat turtle stew, he didn't know.
"Who said that? I hate turtle stew the most." Justin, who was squatting in the corner with his head in his hands, mumbled. His head was fine, but his heart had suffered a heavy blow. While crying, he couldn't help but look at the yard on the other side through the gap in the railing.
In this world, there was indeed more delicious food than turtle stew.
Could that male demon be the legendary Gourmet? How could he make such fragrant food?
Meg took a plate and grilled the fish over charcoal. He sprinkled some chopped green onions on it, and the aroma of the fish immediately filled the air. It was refreshing.
"Come, let's eat grilled fish first." Meg placed the grilled fish in front of Amy and Irina, and then changed the grilling plate. He brushed some oil on it, and placed the big lobsters with a cut on their backs on the grill. The pincers were still moving slightly, but the sauce had already seeped in perfectly, ensuring the meat quality and the wonderful taste at the same time.
Under the grilling of the charcoal fire, the dark green shell of the lobster gradually turned red. The fat in the shell of the lobster started to sizzle, and the fresh taste that belonged to the lobster blossomed.
Meg used the strategy of reducing the oil when grilling the lobsters. The plump lobster meat contained a lot of water, and as the water evaporated, a gap appeared between the meat and the shell. The sauce that was marinated previously had already been perfectly absorbed into the meat, and the aroma filled the air.
"This is too tempting. I really want to eat it …" Justin stood up again at some point, and hugged the pillar in the corner. He choked with sobs, and his eyes were full of yearning.
"Oh, it's so delicious." Amy picked up a piece of fish and blew on it before putting it into her mouth. She then shook her head with elation.
Irina also picked up a piece of fish and put it into her mouth. It was a little different from the spicy grilled fish she had at the restaurant. This grilled fish was a little simpler, and there were no side dishes.
The crispy fish skin wrapped around the tender flesh of the fish, and a crispy flavor blossomed in her mouth. The tender flesh of the fish was a wonderful surprise.
The unique aroma of the fruit charcoal grilled fish gave it a special temperament. Compared to the spicy grilled fish, the cumin aroma of this grilled fish was a little more prominent. However, it didn't overpower the aroma of the fish itself, and it still achieved a perfect balance.
"It's a little different from the grilled fish from before, but it's still very delicious." Irina picked up another piece of grilled fish. Freshly grilled fish was undoubtedly the most delicious.
"That's too much … She's actually enjoying it so much …" Justin's tears began to flow uncontrollably again. This was the life he yearned for.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Isn't the turtle stew going to be ready soon? I know you want to eat the turtle stew. Just wait a little longer. Do you have to cry so sadly?" Gemina pulled Justin back, and pressed him against the stove as she consoled him.
"W-why can't I tell the truth …?" Justin pouted with grievance. When did he say he liked to eat turtle stew?
"Hold it in." Gemina glared at him. This concerned the dignity and status of a housewife. She definitely couldn't let anyone threaten or shake her position in this family.
Moreover, she still insisted that the turtle stew she made was the most delicious food in the world.
What kind of delicious food could a clumsy male demon make?
"Father." Justin looked at Ivan.
"Look at this bowl. It's big and round," Ivan said with a silly smile as he picked up a big bowl of freestyle.
Justin sighed. Forget it. He had never been able to count on his father.
"Try the grilled crayfish for the first time today." Meg placed three freshly grilled crayfish on the table. The aroma of the grilled crayfish wafted over along with the heat. Irina and Amy, who were immersed in the deliciousness of the grilled fish, couldn't help but raise their heads.
"It smells so good." Amy's eyes lit up as she looked at the grilled crayfish that Meg placed in front of her. She reached out to grab the big red pincers.
"The pincers are still very hot now. Let's eat the body of the crayfish first." Meg hurriedly stopped her. He used the table knife to gently cut the crayfish shell on both sides, and the shrunken crayfish meat was easily picked up by Meg with a fork. Even though the meat had shrunk, it was still as thick as Amy's wrist.
"Wow! What a big piece of meat! " Amy's eyes lit up. She took the fork with both hands and blew on it before taking a big bite.
"S-delicious," Amy mumbled as she breathed out hot air. Her little face was filled with a blissful smile.
At this moment, Gemina's turtle stew was also done. She got up and scooped up some of the smell with her hands to sniff it before removing the lid.
A whole giant turtle was floating on the thick white soup. The hot air together with a hint of fishy smell wafted over.
