If I ask you to set up a stall, why do you always run to deserted places?

"No need, freshly caught seafood can be stewed directly."

While Su Yun was speaking, he had already cut the other sea cucumber into thick slices and then stir-fried it in the oil.

Uncle Lin's expression grew increasingly complicated.

Having been a head chef for so many years, he knows all too well the difference between fresh and dried fish maw.

Do fresh fish maw need to be soaked?

It definitely doesn't need to be soaked.

But this isn't a good approach!

Even if you let him handle it, he'll likely end up with a faint fishy smell.

Not to mention that the collagen content of fresh goods is naturally much lower than that of dried goods.

The soup that can be stewed will never be thick enough.

But what about now?

Su Yun's fish maw stewed chicken had only been on the stove for less than five minutes, right?

White steam had already begun to seep out from the cracks in the soup pot.

Not only is it ridiculously rich, but it's also infused with the delicate aroma of chicken and fish maw.

Take a whiff.

"hiss!"

"This fragrance..."

Uncle Lin's expression changed.

It has a rich flavor with a hint of sweetness, and is very strong and fresh.

It was so fresh it made your scalp tingle.

The aroma was so thick and rich, it felt as if water could drip from the tip of your nose.

"Gurgle!"

Uncle Lin was greatly shocked.

"This flavor must be quite strong!"

"It's even more potent than my usual slow-cooked soups!!"

"Huh? That's impossible!"

Aunt Liu also came over, her eyes also fixed on the steamer.

Milky white steam was hissing and popping against the lid.

"Hiss!"

The aroma of eggs mingled with the sweetness of sea urchin, quickly spreading outwards.

It constantly assaults everyone's taste buds.

"I'll go."

Aunt Liu took a deep breath, feeling as if she were about to get drunk.

She is also an experienced chef specializing in state banquets.

What high-end ingredients haven't I encountered?

But the aroma of sea urchins like this.

This is simply unheard of.

It has a refreshing taste with a hint of sweetness, and smelling it makes you feel like you are on the ocean.

"Is this sea urchin...are you sure it was just caught?"

Aunt Liu couldn't help but ask again.

"Of course I'm sure!"

Chen Feng nodded frantically beside him.

"I saw Master Su pull it out with my own eyes."

"Exactly!"

The surrounding diners chimed in with agreement.

"Master Su is really amazing. He rode a shark into the sea and pulled it out in a minute or two."

"What? A shark? So the shark we saw earlier was Master Su's ride!"

"I knew it! Why didn't it bite me then!"

"Wow, you guys ran into them too?"

"Are you one too?"

"Yes, it's what showed us the way; otherwise, we would have gotten lost!"

"..."

The crowd chattered excitedly.

Aunt Liu and Uncle Lin exchanged a glance.

Both of them had the same look of shock in their eyes.

.......

"This is impossible!!"

In a corner where no one is paying attention.

Qian Dahai was completely dumbfounded.

He wanted to act like an elder.

To make his son stand out.

Then give a proper critique of this young man's cooking skills.

But Su Yun's series of actions...

They completely overwhelmed him.

Qian Dahai couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Take, for example, the two cuts Su Yun made when processing the sea cucumber.

Steady, accurate, and damn ruthless.

Even the best chef in his shop couldn't do it so cleanly and efficiently.

Those few steps to remove the fish glue.

It was so fast that he didn't even see it clearly.

Qian Dahai was a little embarrassed to say it.

His once-proud eyesight seemed like that of a complete novice in front of Su Yun.

How embarrassing would that be if word got out!

The most outrageous dish was steamed sea urchin with egg.

Su Yun's technique for pouring egg liquid was as steady as a robot's.

The height of the egg mixture poured into each sea urchin.

It's exactly the same!

Qian Dahai is willing to bet!

Such basic skills cannot be mastered in less than several decades.

But how old is Su Yun?

"How many years has this technique taken to master?"

Qian Dahai couldn't help but mutter something under his breath.

"Dad, what did I say? I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Qian Wenjie suddenly appeared out of nowhere, giving Qian Dahai quite a fright.

"You scared me half to death!"

Qian Dahai glared at him, annoyed.

"Isn't Master Su amazing?"

Qian Wenjie looked at his father's expression with smug satisfaction.

"He's way better than the experienced chefs in our shop, isn't he?"

"Those experienced chefs in our shop?"

Qian Dahai blurted out, "How can they compare!"

But he regretted it as soon as he said it.

Good guy!

This is so embarrassing!

It's a complete slap on the wrist, boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own!

"Go! Go! Go!"

Qian Dahai could only wave his hand.

"Get out of here, you brat!"

"I want to take a good look at this young man's knife skills; I didn't get a good look at them before."

"This knife skill is definitely worth watching."

The old man next to him couldn't stand up any longer either.

He had originally decided not to respond, wanting to see how Su Yun would embarrass herself.

But the more I looked at it, the more something seemed off.

This young man's actions at the cutting board.

He was unlike any chef he knew.

There wasn't a single unnecessary movement throughout the entire process.

He didn't even frown!

He was clearly very confident in his own skills.

"Wait, look!"

Someone called out.

Everyone's eyes turned to the steamer.

The moment Su Yun lifted the pot lid...

A white mist instantly rose into the air, enveloping the entire area.

After the fog dissipated.

Several bowls of steamed sea urchin and egg were neatly arranged on a tray.

The steamed egg mixture was incredibly tender and smooth, with a surface as smooth as a mirror.

The golden sea urchin roe was perfectly embedded in the center of the steamed egg custard.

Someone unfamiliar with it might mistake it for a blooming orange-yellow flower.

"Holy crap!"

Aunt Liu took a step closer.

The tip of his nose was almost touching the rim of the bowl.

The crisp, refreshing scent became even stronger.

The warm, moist sensation of the egg yolk seeped into the tip of his nose little by little.

It's sweet and smooth, going straight to your brain.

"Gurgle."

I don't know who swallowed first.

Everyone looked on incredulously.

"This smells amazing!"

"Yes, look at how it looks! It's jiggling so beautifully; it must be so tender and smooth!"

"There are too many people outside. I'll apologize now. You have to teach me this trick!"

.....

Qian Dahai picked up a bowl of steamed sea urchin and egg.

I hesitated about how to eat it.

That way, the aesthetic appeal of the presentation won't be ruined.

He picked up the spoon.

I scooped up a spoonful and put it in my mouth.

next second.

Qian Dahai suddenly leaned back.

I almost lost my footing.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

In his haste, Chen Feng rushed forward to help him up.

"Something's wrong!"

Qian Dahai was utterly shocked.

"Xiaofengzi, quickly help me up!"

"I need to carefully taste what this is all about!"

Chen Feng quickly helped him up.

Qian Dahai didn't say anything.

He unconsciously chewed his cheeks.

He had already swallowed the steamed egg custard in his mouth.

But the fresh and sweet taste still lingers on the tip of your tongue.

Layer upon layer surged upwards, completely covering his taste buds.

"This steamed egg custard..."

Qian Dahai managed to squeeze out a sentence.

"How is it?"

Qian Wenjie leaned closer, his eyes sparkling as he spoke.

"Dad, is it delicious?"

Qian Dahai didn't say anything, and scooped up another spoonful.

This time, I put the sea urchin roe on top into my mouth as well.

The moment the sea urchin roe melts in your mouth.

Qian Dahai was completely stunned.

The sweet and savory flavor is even more intense than before.

It tastes as rich and smooth as eating a piece of honey.

It envelops the tongue.

It exploded on the entire taste buds.

It leaves a warm and sweet aftertaste wherever it goes.

The steamed egg custard itself is very smooth and tender.

You don't need to use your teeth at all; it melts away with just a gentle purse of your lips.

It perfectly complements the sweetness of the sea urchin.

A perfect blend.

"Good heavens!"

"How come this steamed egg custard is so tender?"

Qian Dahai finally managed to utter a complete exclamation, his voice trembling slightly.

........

"Um....."

Looking at the braised sea cucumber in abalone sauce in my hand.

Uncle Lin looked puzzled.

In his view.

This dish is good in both its preparation and its presentation.

They were all very different from the sea cucumbers he had eaten before.

It's fair to say it's very inauthentic.

"Can this stuff even taste good?"

Uncle Lin hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind.

"Never mind!"

He took a bite.

"Shall I try it first...?"

"Um?"
