* Sizzle! *
Three pieces of white meat were placed on the grill. White smoke rose from them as they were grilled by the hot charcoal fire. The aroma of barbecued meat filled the air.
The palm-sized piece of meat was cut from the octopus's tentacle. Zuo Yi had already cooked it with his combat qi, and now it was being processed for seasoning.
As a matter of fact, the freshly sliced tentacle meat was actually much bigger. He only took the whitest and most tender part of the meat and used it as a barbecue ingredient. The tough outer skin was all fed to the glutton Tai.
Zuo Yi and the Bao 'er had their lunch at the barbecue area in front of the beach. The tools, spices, and ingredients for the barbecue were all provided by the hotel. They could also ask a professional barbecue chef to help, but the barbecue tasted better by themselves.
After brushing the meat with the secret barbecue sauce and turning it a few times, he sprinkled some spices and chili powder on it. Teck, who was squatting at the side, was already drooling.
Zuo Yi saw that it was about time. He cut the piece of octopus meat without the chili powder and put it on the Bao 'er's plate. He then gave Tai a piece and kept the last piece for himself.
He took a bite. The meat was chewy, and the taste was extremely sweet. The cumin sauce and the rich seafood taste blended together perfectly, blooming on the tip of his tongue. It was so delicious that he simply couldn't stop eating!
Although the quality of the ingredients was not comparable to the Minotaur, it had its own unique flavor. Zuo Yi ate to his heart's content.
It was a pity that the Minotaur had escaped. Otherwise, he could have stored it in his space ring.
"Dad …"
The Bao 'er ate until his eyes narrowed. "It's so delicious!"
Zuo Yi laughed and finished his portion of octopus meat in a few bites. He then made octopus balls for the little girl.
As usual, he took the most tender part of the meat and used a kitchen knife to cut it into small pieces and placed it in a bowl. Then, he added flour, starch, eggs, chopped green onions, water, and salt and stirred them together. After that, he used his hands to squeeze out small balls of meat.
The octopus balls sold at roadside stalls were cooked with special tools, which were not provided here. Therefore, he created his own modified version of the octopus balls, which was cooked with douqi and charcoal fire. The final product looked very good.
"Come and try daddy's cooking …"
Zuo Yi smiled and placed a few freshly grilled octopus balls on the little girl's plate. "Be careful, it's hot."
"Yes."
The Bao'er pouted and blew at the meatball, "Phew! Hu ha! "
Woo woo woo ~
The Teck, who had just finished its share of meat, was drooling with hunger. It wagged its tail and begged the little girl for food.
Bao'er loved it the most. He immediately used a bamboo stick to skewer one for it. "Atay."
Ah woo!
Teck swallowed it in one gulp and then looked at Bao'er eagerly.
Bao'er: "…"
Zuo Yi glared at the shameless glutton and skewered half of the remaining octopus balls for it.
Bao'er spoiled it too much. She would rather not eat it than let it be greedy.
"What a cute puppy!"
At that moment, a soft voice suddenly came from the side.
Zuo Yi turned his head and looked. Oh, there were five or six beautiful girls next door. They were all wearing swimsuits that saved fabric. They all had the same face and long legs, which made people think that they were at a beauty pageant.
These young and beautiful girls surrounded an average-looking young man like stars surrounding the moon. The young man was lying lazily on a beach chair, tearing green onions in his hands.
They were also here to eat barbecue, but there was a chef cooking. One of the girls looked at Teck, who was wolfing down his food, and her eyes lit up. She looked like she was going to throw herself at him and hug him.
When Zuo Yi looked over, the young man happened to turn his head as well, and their eyes met.
Zuo Yi smiled, and the latter nodded reservedly.
The young man turned his head and said something to the girl sitting next to him.
The girl immediately took a bottle of champagne from the ice bucket next to her, stood up, and handed it to Zuo Yi. "Hello, sir. This is the champagne that our Young Master Wang asked me to give you."
"Thank you."
Zuo Yi thought for a moment, then took a plate of sliced octopus meat and handed it back. "This is for your Young Master."
It was impolite not to reciprocate.
"Thank you."
The girl took it with a smile, then turned her head and curled her lips.
The bottle of champagne she just gave was a top brand, worth more than ten thousand yuan. Although it was an ordinary drink for Young Master Wang, why did Zuo Yi give him a plate of meat in return?
Was he not embarrassed?
He probably didn't know what was good for him!
Zuo Yi didn't know much about luxury goods, and he wasn't familiar with the brands of champagne, but he could tell from the bottle packaging. However, he didn't care at all. He put the champagne aside and continued to cook for Bao 'er.
The octopus meat was a big meal, and there were also scallops, oysters, prawns, and so on.
Young Master Wang didn't care about Zuo Yi's return gift either. He asked the girl to take it to the chef and continued to tear green onions.
People had unique tastes.
After a few minutes, the chef brought back the cooked octopus meat.
"It smells so good!"
A girl reached out and took a skewer, then brought it to Young Master Wang's mouth. "Young Master Wang, try it."
Young Master Wang hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and took a bite.
The next moment, his eyes widened. He reached out and took another big bite. "It's delicious. You guys try it too."
Each of the beauties took a bunch, and soon, the place was filled with the sound of chirping and chattering.
"Wow, it's really delicious!"
"This is octopus meat, right? I've never eaten anything so delicious."
"Yes, yes!"
"Yes, yes, yes …"
Young Master Wang was a barbecue expert. He usually took his friends and girls out for skewers, but he had never eaten such delicious octopus meat.
After finishing one, he wanted to have another one, but he was surprised to find that the plate was already empty.
"Uh …"
Young Master Wang couldn't help but scratch his head. He wanted to ask Zuo Yi for another one, but he felt that he couldn't afford to lose face.
He was the great Young Master Wang. Had he never eaten delicious food before?
A girl was the second to finish. She licked her lips and said, "It's so delicious. I want more!"
Young Master Wang's eyes lit up. "Send another bottle of champagne."
Zuo Yi, who received the second bottle of champagne, didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he understood the other party's meaning. He asked the girl to wait for a moment, then turned around and took out a cut octopus tentacle from his space ring. He then asked the girl to take it back and process it herself.
This tentacle was two feet long and as thick as a bowl, it was enough for the other party to eat until they were full.
After a while, the sounds of the girls shouting and wrangling could be heard. They were probably frightened.
Zuo Yi shook his head.
Beautiful girls and tentacles, it was easy to think of some discordant images.
