Cooking a delicious crayfish dish was not an easy task. Even someone as talented as Meg (crossed out) was still tortured in the test field for the God of Cookery. He only learned it after going through hardships. Giving a group of demons a three-day crash course to learn how to cook crayfish was not an easy task.
Therefore, after Meg recruited ten members for the crash course, he divided them into three groups of three, three, four, and three groups. Each group would learn a different crayfish flavor. Furthermore, it was not the complete version, but the castrated crash course.
Of course, the castrating was also a technical castrating. He removed some spices that were hard to find on the Demon Islands and replaced them with some locally produced spices. Then, he simplified some of the cooking steps so that the cooking process would be simpler without affecting the crayfish's taste and texture.
"Thirteen-spice crayfish." Kitar was rather happy when he heard his group. Although he could only learn one crayfish recipe, he believed that there would be customers who would like it as long as he could learn it.
"I didn't expect it to be spicy crayfish. I love spicy crayfish the most." Ivan also mumbled excitedly. The spicy and refreshing spicy crayfish had already become his favorite. If he could learn how to cook it, it might become a popular delicacy among the rock demons.
The other demons were also looking forward to it. Many of them were customers of the crayfish restaurant. They had tasted the deliciousness of the crayfish and were addicted to it. After seeing the notice, they came with the intention of giving it a try. If they could really learn it, they would have a very good skill no matter if it was on Carapace Island or another island.
Meg gestured for everyone to quieten down before walking to the pool. He grabbed a crayfish from inside, and said, "Alright, the groups are done. Now, let's talk about how to cook crayfish. The first step is to clean and process the crayfish. First, we have to put the purchased crayfish into clear water to rest for a few hours …"
Meg spent a lot of time explaining and demonstrating how to process the crayfish alone, including cleaning, opening the back, and removing the crayfish lines.
The processing of ingredients was the beginning of a gourmet dish, and it was also the most important cornerstone. Although it was a crash course, Meg had no intention of fooling around. After all, when these apprentices went out in the future, they would carry his name. He didn't want his reputation to be ruined so easily.
As if sensing Meg's serious attitude, the Demon Apprentices listened very seriously as well. Some of them even took out notebooks to record.
"Put the processed crayfish aside and marinate it with some ginger. Start preparing the required ingredients. First, let's see what ingredients we need for the spicy crayfish …"
Then, Meg began to formally teach him how to cook crayfish. Chili was relatively easy to obtain on the Demon Islands, but Sichuan pepper was extremely rare or even nonexistent. However, if the spicy crayfish did not have Sichuan pepper, it would be equivalent to losing half of its soul. Therefore, he could only negotiate with the system to buy a batch of Sichuan pepper from him and then resell it to other demons. Then, he would give them some Sichuan pepper seeds and let them cultivate it themselves.
As for garlic crayfish, it was much simpler. Although most demons didn't like to eat garlic, garlic wasn't precious and wasn't rare. Furthermore, it was very simple to grow and cultivate.
As for thirteen-spice, that was Meg's biggest problem.
It was obviously impossible to provide thirteen-spice powder directly to all the demons. After a few days, it would be a long journey. It would be impossible for him to become a stable supplier and customer.
Meg could only choose a dozen spices from the common spices on the Demon Islands. Then, he mixed them according to the system's recommended dosage and his own experience to create a thirteen-spice version of this world.
To be honest, the thirteen-spice version lacked some special spices, so its aroma and taste were slightly worse. However, the aroma was still considered rich, and it achieved the characteristics of spicy, fresh, fragrant, and sweet. As a remade thirteen-spice version, it was already considered excellent.
Meg only taught how to cook the spicy crayfish until lunchtime started.
"Do you understand?" Meg looked at Ivan and the other two demons and asked.
"Yes, my eyes have learned it." Ivan nodded honestly.
The other two demons also scratched their heads embarrassedly. Although the boss taught them very seriously and carefully, they only remembered the general steps. They still didn't have much confidence and confidence to actually do it themselves.
"It's alright. Learning how to cook starts with your eyes. You still have three days. As long as you learn seriously, you will definitely be able to learn it." Meg smiled and glanced at the time. "If you have nothing to do at noon, just watch me cook the crayfish at the side. What I'm teaching you is a slightly simplified version. As for the complete method, you can learn it yourself. How much you can learn will depend on your own abilities."
All the demons' eyes lit up when they heard that. They all expressed that they had nothing to do and could stay to continue learning.
The lunchtime was as busy as usual. As the crayfish restaurant's reputation grew, more and more demons on Carapace Island heard that the crayfish here was selling for 100 copper coins each, and there was still an endless stream of customers. They all came with curious thoughts.
Tony and Steve also came to the crayfish restaurant. After staying up late to write the article, Tony only woke up at noon. After he woke up, he dragged Steve to the crayfish restaurant and said that he needed to eat crayfish to find inspiration before going back to polish the article.
"Steve, you might not believe it, but after I finished writing that article last night, I felt like I had reached the peak of my life. I might not be able to write another article as good as this in my lifetime." Tony stared at Steve with a pair of dark circles under his eyes. He looked at Steve excitedly.
"If you get a bonus for this month's article, you have to treat me to a trip," Steve said with a chuckle.
"Sure. If this column can become popular, just tell me where you want to go and what you want to eat," Tony promised as he patted his chest.
"You said it yourself. Don't blame me for being rude when the time comes."
…
Meg was swimming in between the three big woks and cooking crayfish with three different flavors at the same time with ease.
The ten demon apprentices stood not far away and stared at him seriously. Their gazes were gradually filled with admiration, and their faces were filled with amazement.
"Look, Mother. It says that if you want to register as an apprentice, you have to pay 500 copper coins. Did Father hide money behind your back again?" Justin and Gemina arrived at the crayfish restaurant. When they entered, Justin stopped in his tracks and looked at the notice pasted on the door, and asked curiously.
"Ha, he's dead." Gemina sneered as she stared at Ivan in the courtyard.
Ivan, who was watching Meg cook crayfish with relish, suddenly shuddered. He raised his head to look outside instinctively, and met Gemina's murderous gaze. His expression changed slightly as he suddenly realized something. He shuffled behind Meg, and softly said, "Boss Hades, can I ask you for a favor …?"
