Whoosh!
Then, Helian Wei Wei opened the lid of the pot that was slowly simmering the lobster!
By then, the red wine had already merged with the soy sauce and honey, which then formed enough soup with a nice-looking color.
Now, the golden yellow colored lobster which was lying right on top was more flavorful than ever after a simmer.
Apart from the intoxicating aroma, everyone could not name another scent.
In addition, the people had never seen this type of cooking before, and that made the people more curious about the taste of the dishes.
As usual, Helian Wei Wei kept half of it and ordered to distribute the other half to the people.
Baili Jia Jue squinted his eyes as he played with the porcelain cup in his hand. His voice was still as light and elegant as jade, “For the next dish, do whatever it takes to stop it. Don’t let me see her cooking for other people again.”
“Yes.” Shadow lowered his gaze and thought to himself. His Highness’ exclusive desire was becoming increasingly stronger. Sigh, I don’t even know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing.
Outside the window, the people had gotten one of the lobsters and was already cut open from the back. The strong aroma of fresh lobster filled the air, and it was further layered with the fragrance of the Shiitake mushroom stuffings.
Almost unbearable to wait, someone took a piece of flesh out of the lobster and put it in his mouth. The fragrance blasted between his teeth and gums.
The Shiitake mushrooms and chicken meat were so fresh. Eating them together with the lobster and vegetable juice was absolutely scrumptious!
“I’ve never eaten a lobster that was cooked this way! My tongue is going to melt!”
“What exactly did Lord Wei add in here?”
“I don’t know. I have no clue at all! Master Liu, you are a chef. You should try again and see what’s in it? How can it be so appetizing!”
Master Liu was an old cook who was also a professional in seafood, but he had never tasted anything like this before.
After all, it was the sauce that they would normally focus on.
To them, someone who could remain the freshness and tenderness of the seafood when one steamed it and prepare some good sauces would be recognized as a promising and excellent chef already.
However, it was obvious that Lord Wei’s practice had overturned his past understanding of cooking seafood.
With careful savor of the lobster meat, there was actually a taste of sweetness after some chewing.
“Is it sugar? No, no, sugar won’t have this effect, because if I hadn’t tasted it carefully, it would be impossible to identify that tiny amount of sweetness. This is more like... honey? That’s right! It’s honey!” Master Liu shook his head and said in admiration, “I didn’t expect that Lord Wei would add honey in the flavoring!”
“What else except honey?” The people were so curious. After eating the lobster meat, they all wanted to go home and try it out by themselves.
Master Liu tilted his head to the side and thought, “There’s one particular taste about the dish, but I, an old man won’t be able to guess it. The taste is too peculiar.”
“Look over there! Lord Wei is going to remove the grilled fish!”
Hearing this, all the people turned and looked toward the direction of Helian Wei Wei.
In the beginning, they thought that grilled fish or anything similar was not presentable at all.
But when Helian Wei Wei placed the entire fish onto the iron plate that was being warmed up previously, then added the side dishes mixed with chili oil, and finally topped it with some peanuts and green onions, the dish was colorful with the reds and greens. It was indeed pretty-looking.
The saltwater fish was grilled until it was overflowing with natural oil. As the fish came in contact with the iron plate, there were even sizzling sounds and at that moment, the fragrance exploded entirely.
The fish was crispy on the outside yet tender on the inside. By just looking at the colors on the outside, it was not even necessary to eat it to know that the taste would be similar to the previous dishes!
As it smelled too delicious!
If the aroma of the two dishes previously was described as unending waves that were appetizing, then this kind of fragrance could directly make people drool all over!
The people licked their thin lips and waited in line to have a taste, but a man in black stopped them.
Helian Wei Wei lifted her brows. “Shadow?”
The Shadow lowered his voice, “Princess Consort, His Highness is in the teahouse just opposite us. He had ordered me to confiscate this dish just for himself.”
After listening to the Shadow, Helian Wei Wei smiled. As expected, the novel was right. As long as she used his name, he would definitely approach her first!
“Since His Highness wants to eat it, you may bring it to him.” Helian Wei Wei smiled lightly. She was almost done anyway. If she had used up all of the surprises, her mysterious aura would lessen for sure.
In front of something that one really wanted to eat, he would want to take a bite even more if he was not given the chance to taste it!
In terms of business, it was the best timing to stop now.
When the people saw that they had no more chance to try the saltwater fish, they looked very disappointed.
In the meantime, Helian Wei Wei wiped her hands with a white handkerchief and spoke with a different tone, “For those who hadn’t had the chance to try the dishes, need not feel regretful. From today onward, the dishes will be on the menu of Bayview Seafood Restaurant!”
When the merchants heard this, they instantly became interested. “The taste is really unforgettable! Lord Wei, when can we have it again? By that time, it won’t taste different from what we are seeing now, right?”
As soon as the question came up, the people who had been enjoying the food excitedly calmed down a little.
The atmosphere also somewhat turned cold.
However, there was no change on Helian Wei Wei’s face. She was still smiling dully and then she answered slowly, “All of you rest assured. In the past, you all were deceived for the ingredients used in Bayview Seafood Restaurant were not fresh. In the future, the chef of Bayview Seafood Restaurant will cook at the main entrance. The merchants who are passing by will be able to witness the entire cooking process!”
After hearing this, the two merchants who were standing behind Helian Wei Wei looked at each other with eyes full of admiration for her.
Placing the stove right at the main entrance would mean all the cookings were to be transparent to all!
This would be the very first example in the entire nation and a valid competitive advantage and selling point!
Not only could they clear the bad reputation Bayview Seafood Restaurant had previously, but the innovative idea could also attract customers from all over the world.
In addition, the location of Bayview Seafood Restaurant was so strategic that it would definitely be seen by the people who just entered the provincial capital.
In that sense, cooking right outside the main entrance would result in an excellent publicity effect.
By that time, the fragrance would definitely lure many customers into the restaurant as soon as it was mealtime.
It would then be hard not to earn any money!
They finally understood the reason why Wei Ze World would be so famous in just one month’s time.
In addition to the fact that the martial arts cultivation there was really good, the more important reason was that its boss was too good at branding!
Every step was unexpected and surprising!
It was obvious that the merchants were attracted by Helian Wei Wei’s words as they had come to the provincial capital to taste the seafood of Bayview Seafood Restaurant. If the food was good, they would bring some back to their hometowns. However, it had been days and all they heard about Bayview Seafood Restaurant was bad news. The people in charge often had big lobsters replaced with small shrimps. The difference was too much and they were obviously trying to con foreigners!
Now, this issue was not to be worried anymore. All the seafood selection and cooking would be done on the spot, this would reassure a lot of people!
But...
“But what about the price!?” Someone asked boldly, “Wouldn’t it be a price that is sky-high and unaffordable for the people at all!”
