Feng Tian's study mates were in awe of the magnificent residence they had entered. The grandeur of the place, coupled with the impeccable freshness in the air, left them speechless. The students' eyes wandered, sighting the various plants that adorned the halls and rooms. They marveled at the greenery, both excited and slightly apprehensive, as rumors had circulated about the unique nature of these plants.
Whispers filled the air as they exchanged their thoughts and theories.
"Wow! I've seen these plants on the official website of the Botanical Research and Preservation Guild."
"Are these plants conscious?" one of them asked, a hint of curiosity in their voice.
"Conscious? You mean they might attack us?" another student responded, their eyes darting around cautiously.
"Some of these plants have gained consciousness, but they won't attack unless they perceive us as a threat. The madam herself assured this," a knowledgeable voice chimed in.
The group turned to find Butler Jin, who had been quietly trailing behind them, offering his insight.
"Wait, you mean to say that Feng Tian's stepmother planted these remarkable plants herself?" a student exclaimed, their eyes widening in amazement.
Butler Jin nodded with a smile. "Indeed, Madam Feng possesses incredible skills. She has a deep understanding of these plants and can cultivate them with great finesse."
The students exchanged impressed glances, realizing that there was much more to Feng Tian's stepmother than they had initially assumed. They had only heard stories of her beauty and her reputation as a supportive presence in Feng Tian's life. But to witness her mastery of plants and her willingness to create such a captivating environment in their home was a revelation.
They continued their exploration, moving through the corridors of the residence, their awe and curiosity growing with every step. Along the way, they caught glimpses of other wonders—an intricate art collection, a well-stocked library, and even a small experimental laboratory in one of the rooms.
When they moved deeper into the house, the students couldn't help but be captivated by the elegance and grace that emanated from Hu Yufeng. They were also drawn to the special aroma that permeated the air. The scent led them to the spacious and well-equipped kitchen, where they discovered Hu Yufeng immersed in her culinary craft. Her graceful movements and focused expression were a sight to behold, captivating their attention.
Her beauty was undeniable, leaving them momentarily stunned. They quickly regained their composure, realizing that they were witnessing the presence of a remarkable woman who had managed to capture the heart of the revered Admiral.
Curiosity piqued, the students approached, their eyes fixed on the tantalizing ingredients laid out before her. Among them were mutated animals, larger in size and displaying vibrant, off-color hues, which hinted at their unique characteristics.
"Will they taste great?"
"I hope so too!"
"I can't believe the madam herself will touch these things!"
Hu Yufeng's chosen dishes for the day were spicy buttered shrimps and coconut-flavored crabs. Her creativity and mastery were evident as she expertly combined flavors and textures to create a mouthwatering feast. The students watched in awe as she began her culinary symphony, showcasing a recipe that would forever be etched in their memories.
Hu Yufeng also started live broadcasting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to "Culinary Adventures with Lady Feng," where we explore the tantalizing world of interstellar cuisine. Today, I am thrilled to share with you a recipe that will awaken your taste buds and transport you to a realm of flavors. We will be preparing Spicy Buttered Shrimps with Coconut-Flavored Crabs, a dish that combines the succulent sweetness of mutated jumbo shrimps with the rich, creamy essence of coconut-infused crabs."
[Did she call these beasts Jumbo Shrimp and Crabs?]
People from different planets slowly entered when they saw the picture of the ingredients.
[Will this woman cook unpalatable dark food]
[I think so too!]
"As I walk you through the process, feel free to ask any questions or share your thoughts in the comments section."
[I suddenly feel excited!]
[I have never seen some of the ingredients here!]
[Aren't those beasts poisonous?]
"To begin, we need to prepare our star ingredients. Take 500 grams of mutated jumbo shrimps and peel them, keeping the tails intact. Devein them carefully, ensuring that they are clean and ready for cooking. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set them aside for now."
"Next, let's move on to the crabs. We have four large mutated crabs waiting to be transformed into a gastronomic delight. Carefully remove the outer shell and discard the gills. Depending on the size of the crabs, cut them into halves or quarters. Now, they are ready to join our culinary adventure."
"In a large skillet or wok, melt three tablespoons of butter and add two tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and finely grated ginger as the butter melts, stirring until their aromas fill the air, creating a fragrant base for our dish."
"Now, it's time to introduce some heat. Add thinly sliced red chili peppers and green chili peppers to the skillet, infusing our dish with a delightful kick. To enhance the flavors, sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of paprika, one teaspoon each of chili powder, turmeric powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Give everything a good stir, allowing the spices to mingle and release their tantalizing aromas."
"Increasing the heat to medium-high, add the prepared shrimp to the skillet. Watch as they sizzle and turn a beautiful shade of pink. Cook them on each side for 2-3 minutes, allowing them to caramelize slightly and absorb the flavors we've created. Once they are cooked to perfection, carefully remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside for now."
[It suddenly smells so good!]
[I feel like nutrient solutions are no longer tasty!]
"Now, let's introduce our coconut-flavored crabs to the skillet. Sauté them for 5-7 minutes, ensuring that they soak up the tantalizing spices we've prepared. This will infuse them with a depth of flavor that will leave you craving more."
"To bring a touch of creaminess and tropical essence to our dish, pour in 1 cup of coconut milk and squeeze in the juice of 1 lime. Stir gently, allowing the coconut milk to blend harmoniously with the flavors, creating a luscious sauce that will envelop the crabs in a delightful embrace. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for another 10-15 minutes, making the crabs tender and fully infused with the coconut flavor."
