Chapter 316: Chapter 232: Supre Delicacy, Six Sun Peppers
“What is that sll, it’s so fragrant!”
As the aroma spread, the plump middle-aged man’s nose twitched twice as he exclaid in surprise.
“It must be my disciple preparing dinner; he’s usually the one doing the cooking when we’re on the road.”
The elder doctor, recognizing the familiar scent, chuckled.
“I didn’t expect Doctor Chen’s top disciple to be so skilled in the culinary arts.”
The plump middle-aged man said excitedly.
...
He took another deep breath, itching with curiosity.
“I wonder what your disciple is making for dinner tonight?”
Seeing him looking sowhat restless, the elder doctor smiled and said, “I’m not sure either, why don’t we go out and take a look?”
“That sounds great!” the plump middle-aged man blurted out.
Seeing the amused expression on the elder doctor’s face, he said sowhat sheepishly:
“Doctor Chen, I must confess, I have no other vices but a love for good food; if I see sothing delicious that I haven’t tried before, I simply cannot rest until I do.”
“Mr. Xu, you truly are a man of passion.”
The two of them walked out of the hall and saw a curling wisp of smoke in the courtyard.
The plump middle-aged man’s disciples, along with Wei Zian and the others, were gathered around a fire pit, looking eagerly on.
Above the fire, several plump rabbits and fish were roasting, sending out the thick aromatic scent that perated the entire temple.
Naturally, Lu Qing was the one grilling the at.
These rabbits had been caught by him and Little Li earlier on the roadside forest during their journey.
They had been busy traveling recently and had been eating rather simple als, so they decided to prepare sothing delicious that evening.
The fish, too, was an unexpected catch.
After catching several fat rabbits, they passed by a mountain stream.
Thinking that Little Li hadn’t had fresh fish in a long ti, on a whim, Lu Qing took a fishing rod from his Qiankun Qi Bag and cast a few lines.
To his surprise, he soon caught several carp weighing over two pounds each, which delighted Little Li so much that he shattered a large bluestone on the shore while sharpening his claws.
Due to ti constraints, Lu Qing gave Little Li one fresh fish to eat at the ti, and saved the rest to make a different flavored dish for dinner.
“Are they grilling sothing? But how could just grilled rabbit and fish sll so amazing?”
The plump middle-aged man, seeing the food on the fire, felt puzzled.
He had eaten grilled rabbit and fish before but had never slled such deliciously aromatic grilled at.
Just then, the plump middle-aged man saw Lu Qing pick up a handful of gray-white powder from a bowl at his feet and sprinkle it over the rabbits.
Instantly, an even richer aroma burst forth, and the intense fragrance made Wei Zian and the others involuntarily swallow.
“That’s it!”
The plump middle-aged man’s eyes widened.
The peculiarly delightful aroma he noticed earlier ca from the gray-white powder Lu Qing had sprinkled.
“Brother, are the rabbits done yet?”
Little Yan, squatting beside Lu Qing, her lips shining with a crystal sheen, couldn’t help but ask.
“We need just a little longer,” Lu Qing replied as he brushed oil on the rabbits, “We have to wait until the skin is crispy. That way, they’ll be crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside, and very delicious.”
Gulp.
Hearing Lu Qing describe it that way, Wei Zian and the others felt their mouths water even more.
“Haha, Young Master, what delicious thing are you cooking? Your master and I could sll this tempting aroma from inside.”
At this point, the plump middle-aged man laughed heartily and approached.
“Master.”
The plump middle-aged man’s disciples, realizing that their master had sohow co outside, felt a bit embarrassed.
“Dad!” the girl greeted joyfully, “Young Master Lu is grilling at. It slls so good!”
“Dad slled it too; that’s why I was lured out here,” the plump middle-aged man chuckled, “Young Master Lu, your grilling skills truly capture one’s soul.”
“Senior Xu is too kind; it’s just a little skill,” Lu Qing modestly said.
“By the way, Young Master Lu, what is that powder you sprinkled on the rabbit just now? I saw that after you sprinkled it, the aroma beca intense,” the plump middle-aged man asked.
“It’s a seasoning I mixed myself, sprinkling so on the at while grilling enhances the flavor.”
Lu Qing passed the bowl containing the gray-white powder to him.
The plump middle-aged man took it, dipped his finger to get a little, slled it, then tasted it.
His eyes imdiately brightened.
The powder was indeed special, tasting slightly salty with an unusual aromatic flavor.
Lu Qing continued grilling the at. Finally, when the rabbit at started sizzling and oozing oil, he sprinkled another handful of the aromatic powder on it, then took the grilled rabbit off the fire.
He then picked up a stack of wooden plates and began slicing the rabbit at with a small knife.
Soon, the four grilled rabbits were divided into ten plates of at, with a portion for everyone except Little Li.
After dividing the rabbit at, Lu Qing took another bowl, opened a bamboo tube, and poured out half a bowl of bright red powder.
“Master, Senior Xu, please.”
Lu Qing picked up two plates piled full of rabbit at and handed them to the elder doctor and the plump middle-aged man respectively.
“Doctor Chen, then I won’t be polite.”
The food-loving plump middle-aged man, already sowhat impatient, quickly took the rabbit at.
“No problem, it’s been a while since I’ve had Ah Qing’s grilled at,” the elder doctor also took a plate.
“Master, Senior Xu, you go ahead and eat; I’ll go make so more food.”
