Ruan Chanchan, however, didn’t pay any attention to the reaction of the r. Instead, she turned all her attention to the at that was cooking in the pot. She continued to stir the at until the fibres had softened. Once the at had softened, the first thing she did was to scoop it out, take a bone knife and then fillet through the nice and soft at.
What surprised her was that after boiling the at, it beca so soft that it started to shred like molten butter.
What should I make from this? Ruan Chanchan thought carefully. After a quick pondering, she decided to just go with the flow. Recalling the taste of the curry that she once had in an indian restaurant, Ruan Chanchan quickly whipped out so coconut milk, ginger, garlic paste and curry leaves that she had stocked in her supermarket. Fortunately, she didn’t have to worry about compromising the taste.
She added the at and the ingredients as per the instructions that she had once received from the chef and removed a few blocks of wood to let the curry simr. With the curry simring on a low fla, a tantalising scent spread all over the cave. Xiang i was stunned; he looked at the curry and then turned to look at Ruan Chanchan with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
He had seen everything; the woman seed to have so kind of magic because she seed to be whipping one thing after another from the air itself. Things that he had never seen before, and how co the slly Turbokarken at ended up slling so good? It was like soone had enchanted the at and made it sll better than anything he had slled till now.
"Do you want to try it?" asked Ruan Chanchan as she set up another stove and started to place a stone slab on top of it.
Xiang i nodded, and Ruan Chanchan smiled at him. She scooped out so curry from the vat and then ladled it into a small bowl that she carried with her, and then handed the bowl to the r. "You can have so."
Xiang i gingerly took the bowl from Ruan Chanchan as if he were holding a bowl of treasure. He took a bite of the curry, and his eyes lit up. The creamy, slightly sweet and rich curry had all the right flavours that captured the ocean taste. But what made him even more surprised was that there was not a single trace of fishiness in the curry; it was as if it had been washed clean!
Sizzle.
He was still lost in the sweet delish in front of him when he heard the sound of sizzling. He raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sizzling sound was coming. It was then that he saw Ruan Chanchan putting the maelshark at on the slab and turning it around. One had to know that while maelshark at was really nutritious, it was slly and it didn’t taste good even in the slightest. But at that mont, the sll that was wafting from the at was really good!
How was that even possible!?
"Miss Ruan...how do you know so much? " said Xiang i. All along, everyone in the tribe kept mocking the Big Bear Tribe, saying that they were too poor and didn’t have many skills. But from the looks of it, it didn’t seem like it was true. The Big Bear Tribe clearly had a lot of crouching beasts waiting to show off their skills. Look at this, Ruan Chanchan seed like she was nothing special, given that she didn’t even have a core. Many of the totem warriors in the tribe even mocked Ruan Chanchan behind her back for trying to chew more than she could bite.
They even said that she was doing all of that just because she wanted to attract the attention of their prince, and even Xiang i was embarrassed to admit that even he was thinking the sa when he listened to the gossip going on in the tribe, but after looking at Ruan Chanchan’s skills. It seed like seeing was believing. He should never have believed those foolish gossipers.
Ruan Chanchan didn’t know what was going on in the little head of the r. She served him the maelshark’s grilled at and then started on the rice.
Once the al was prepared, she served herself a generous amount of rice with curry before topping it with the grilled at.
Taking a bite of the curry mixed with rice, Ruan Chanchan had to admit that the seafood quality was really good here. Though it was terrifying to look at before it was cleaned up, it was really nice once it was cooked.
Sniff. Sniff.
Ruan Chanchan raised her head and then lowered it. She thought that the pot had broken, and that was where the hissing sound was coming from, but even after she wasted a good three minutes, she didn’t find any crack in the pot, which made her frown. She was about to pick up the thing and see where it had broken when she heard Xiang i sneeze.
It was then she realised that the hissing sound was not coming from the pot but was coming from the little r behind her!
Sighing, she slowly turned to look at the r who had been shedding tears for no reason. She asked him, "Why are you crying? Was the food not good?"
The r shook his head. He said to Ruan Chanchan, "It is just too good. I have never eaten sothing so good before. I wonder how Miss Ruan even ca up with such a good thing."
Of course, Ruan Chanchan couldn’t tell the r the truth. So she simply shrugged and said, "Well, you can say that it is my innate skill." After all, telling the r that she ca from another world was not up on her roster.
"Xiang i!"
