"Thirteen spices?" Tony frowned slightly. What kind of flavor was that? He had been on the Demon Islands for many years, but this was the first time he had heard of such a flavor.
"It must be a different way of saying it." Tony comforted himself in his heart. Every demon race had a different understanding of cooking. Even if it was the same cooking method, it would be called differently.
"What kind of shrimp is this?" Tony's eyes widened as he watched Mag scoop up a dark green prawn from the large pond. Mag was still waving his pincers recklessly, and he could tell that the prawn weighed over two kilograms, which was more than twice the size of the king mantis shrimp on Pi Pi Island. He had never seen a prawn with such a strange color before. Even prawns of similar sizes were green in color, so how could this one be so dark?
"How is it? Isn't this crayfish big and fat?" Steve saw Tony's expression, and could not help but feel proud.
He was a little brother when discussing delicacies in front of Tony. However, this time, he had to let Tony recognize his taste. The crayfish would definitely beat the Abyss Roast Pork Trotters that he had been waiting for for five days.
Tony shook his head slightly, and commented, "This crayfish shell is greenish-black, so it must be very hard. It's not very convenient to eat. Even if the chef wants to do some processing, it will definitely cause damage to the meat. It's not a high-quality ingredient …"
"Dong … Dong … Dong …"
Before Tony could finish his words, the crayfish whose back was cut open and whose intestines were removed fell into the metal basin at the side, making crisp sounds. Every sound was like a slap to Tony's face.
Looking at the flash of the knife, Tony couldn't see the real body of the kitchen knife. The hard shell of the prawn had been cut open, but the meat of the prawn wasn't damaged at all. He couldn't help but stand up with his mouth wide open. This knife skill … was simply godly!
"Sit down, sit down. It's a routine operation, a routine operation." Steve pressed the shocked Tony back to his seat and said with a smile.
"I admit that this boss's knife skill is indeed very exquisite, but knife skill is only one of the basic skills of a chef. The most important thing is the cooking skill." Tony controlled his expression. Most of the Demon Chefs' cooking methods were rough, and such exquisite knife skills were rare, so he couldn't control his emotions.
The three big basins of crayfish were quickly processed. Meg picked up the white wine jar at the side and pulled out the cork. A strong aroma of wine instantly spread out. He poured out a small ladle and splashed it on the crayfish that could still move. He then sprinkled in a handful of ginger slices before putting the lid on and leaving it at the side.
Many drunkards couldn't help but take a few deep breaths of the wine. Their eyes lit up as they looked at the wine jar beside Meg's hand.
"This is not for sale." Meg shook his head. He had already seen through everyone's thoughts.
"This is the step of marinating to remove the fishy smell. Some demon chefs also use wine to remove the fishy smell. The effect is not bad, but I can't smell what wine it is. The wine fragrance is very special and strong enough. It should be a strong wine." Tony closed his eyes and sensed the wine fragrance, but he couldn't tell what wine it was.
Jane walked up and asked Tony and Steve, "Excuse me, what crayfish flavor would you like to order?"
"Three flavors. I'll have one crayfish each and a large glass of beer," Steve said as he turned to the number plate. Then, he flipped the number plate to Tony's side. "Take a look and see what flavor you want."
"The menu is so simple?" Tony was still wondering why this restaurant didn't have a menu. He didn't expect the menu to be simplified down to the number plate. Moreover, there were only three crayfish flavors and an alcohol called beer to choose from. He looked up at Jane, and said, "I'll take all of them. One for each."
"Alright, please wait for a moment." Jane nodded slightly and walked to the next table.
"I didn't expect the service quality of Carapace Island to have improved to such an extent. The uniform style is also very special." Tony looked at Jane's back in surprise. The last time he was here, that demon waiter was completely yelling and screaming while serving. The impression was very bad.
"Unfortunately, this restaurant is the only one that has improved after three years." Steve shrugged.
"Oh, there's also a beautiful succubus lady." Tony's gaze landed on Angela, who was standing at the entrance of the restaurant. Her graceful figure and seductive face made it hard for him to shift his gaze away. It was hard to find another succubus as beautiful as her even in the entire Demon Islands.
Many demons couldn't help but secretly size her up. If such a beautiful succubus lady appeared in the red light district, it would be very lively every night.
Meg also glanced at Angela. How to divert the customer's attention from the beautiful succubus lady to the crayfish was his biggest test tonight.
He heated up the wok, poured in some oil, and then added in all kinds of spices to stir fry. The three stoves were turned on at the same time, and three different crayfish flavors were stir-fried in the three wok.
"Thirteen spices. It should be a type of spice. This name sounds a little strange," Tony analyzed. Chefs nowadays liked to find some gimmicks for their dishes.
"No, thirteen spices are 13 types of spices. Of course, it has completely exceeded that number now." Meg shook his head and denied. He felt a sense of familiarity from this customer. He must have been in the same line of work in the past.
"…" Tony was speechless.
He was being sniped.
Steve snickered. It was the first time he saw Tony being humiliated like this. He was right to come today.
Meg wandered between the three wok. The black and green crayfish danced in the wok and gradually turned into a bright red color. The three different fragrances also spread out.
"This fragrance … I can't tell what spices were added in it, but it smells so good!" Tony, who was sitting not far from the three wok, muttered in surprise and astonishment. His eyes lit up completely.
The red-hot crayfish was poured full of beer and covered with it. Then, the wok was covered with a lid. It boiled on a high flame, simmered on a medium flame, and waited for the right time to remove the lid. The freshness of the crayfish was mixed with the taste of various spices, and became even thicker.
Everyone was already familiar with the spicy crayfish and the garlic crayfish that had just been introduced at noon, but the thirteen-spices crayfish that had just been introduced tonight had become the focus of all the customers' attention with its unique and rich fragrance.
The rich and complex aroma and the layers of the aroma were astonishing.
"Your crayfish." Jane walked over with a tray and placed six plates in front of Tony and Steve.
"Gulp." Tony couldn't help but swallow his saliva. The spicy crayfish wrapped in red oil, the garlic crayfish dipped in minced garlic, and the thirteen-spices crayfish with a unique fragrance. Which one to start with became a problem.
