Chapter 389 If you dare to cause trouble, you'll become my puppet!
"You want Dragon City to host the auction?"
During lunch, Xiao Yu told the women about the auction.
The women's expressions varied.
Honglian lowered her head in thought for a moment, then looked at Xiao Yu with her ruby eyes and asked, "Brother, if we host the auction, won't Sunset City and Ghost Lantern City cause trouble? After all, with such great benefits, the city lords of those two cities are both ninth-tier experts. If they cause trouble..."
"Yes, Lord City Lord." The women also looked at Xiao Yu, their expressions conflicted.
They all felt that they had reached the sixth or seventh level of strength since their second awakening.
However, the ninth-tier powerhouse made them feel powerless.
If those two major forces cause trouble during the auction, Dragon City will be in trouble.
"Don't be afraid!" Xiao Yu's dark eyes were deep and calm as he smiled indifferently. "The City Lord of Xueye City promised that he would personally keep an eye on those two city lords to prevent them from causing trouble. Besides... I doubt they would dare to cause any trouble."
So what if they're a ninth-tier expert? Aren't they still just flesh and blood?
For him, who possesses teleportation and the immortality of a seventh-tier divine weapon, it's about the same as being at the seventh or eighth tier.
If you dare to cause trouble, you'll become his puppet!
"The Lord of Xueye City has come in person?"
Upon hearing this, the women exchanged disbelief.
So, they've brought over another ninth-tier player to do manual labor?
As expected of... their city lord!
“Since we’re going to host an auction…” Xiao Yu looked at the women, a smile in his dark eyes, “we need to do more preparation.”
“For example…” Honglian asked expectantly.
She knew that her brother must have come up with another brilliant idea.
"First and foremost, we need more delicious food... Let's go!"
As Xiao Yu spoke, he led the women to the kitchen.
Next, Honglian and the others saw Xiao Yu first take a bowl of coarse salt, heat it in a pot, then take a plate of clean salt and dry it with his flame ability.
Then, the whole plate of peanuts in their shells was poured into the iron pot.
"Can peanuts be stir-fried like this?" Xinglan asked curiously, tilting her head as she watched.
"Of course, it's delicious." Xiao Yu nodded with a smile, then turned down the heat and explained, "To roast peanuts in their shells, you must use medium-low heat."
"Oh, I got it." The blue-haired girl nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
Quickly take notes of the steps Xiao Yu explained.
The little maid standing to the side had a gleam in her eyes and was also taking notes quickly.
The city lord has invented another new delicacy; I can't wait to see it!
Although Xiao Yu used a medium-low heat, the temperature was not high enough, which caused the peanuts to cook slowly.
However, as Xiao Yu repeatedly stirred the clay pot with the iron shovel, the peanuts and coarse salt collided repeatedly, producing a series of harsh rubbing sounds and the clattering of the peanuts.
The scene was so lifelike that it captivated all the women.
This man was already outstanding, but now, seeing him so focused on cooking makes him even more charming.
Soon, as Xiao Yu stirred the food more and more, all the women could smell a faint fragrance.
Then, the aroma gradually intensifies; it's the smell of peanuts.
"Remember, the key to roasting peanuts is the heat! Too high a temperature and they'll burn; too low and they'll be undercooked. Like this, medium-low heat... Also, the stirring speed needs to be moderate..."
Xiao Yu continued stirring the food while sharing his experiences from his previous life.
He grew up in the countryside, and his grandparents would fry peanuts like this during the Chinese New Year.
However, the countryside uses sand, while he uses coarse salt.
Peanuts fried this way are salty, which makes them taste even better.
Crack! Crack!
Suddenly, a crackling sound came from the pot.
Then, all the women sniffed.
Because they could all smell the increasingly rich fragrance.
"Did you hear that? That's the sound!"
Xiao Yu turned to look at the blue-haired girl and the little maid, and reminded them, "When you hear this sound, it's almost done. Stir-fry it for a while longer, and when the crackling sounds increase and it turns slightly yellow... it's almost done."
As he spoke, he grabbed a few pieces from the pot with his bare hands and handed them to the women.
"Hmm, it has a strong aroma, but it's not crispy enough," Xinglan commented after tasting it.
"Not bad!" Xiao Yu nodded in satisfaction and continued, "At this point, turn off the heat first, and then continue to stir-fry for a while."
He then did as instructed.
After a short while, wait for the fire temperature to gradually decrease.
He then used a sieve to scoop out the peanuts.
Seeing the women's impatient expressions, Xiao Yu smiled helplessly, condensed a ball of cold air in his hand, and gently swept it over the peanuts in front of him. The steam rising from the peanuts instantly disappeared.
A plate of high-calorie peanuts, just like that, instantly cooled down completely.
"It's ready to eat, everyone have a taste," Xiao Yu said with a smile.
At the same time, I thought to myself, having superpowers is great! Life is so much more convenient.
"Okay, I'll try it!" Xinglan was the first to grab a peanut. Following Xiao Yu's previous action, she pinched the peanut shell open with her index finger and thumb, revealing the peanut inside wearing a red skin.
She popped three plump peanuts into her mouth and chewed them carefully.
The next second, the blue-haired girl's eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "Mmm, it's so delicious!"
The women picked up peanuts one by one and tasted them, their eyes lighting up with delight.
These peanuts in their shells have a slightly salty taste, a crunchy texture, and a richer aroma.
"Didn't you guys notice? These peanuts don't get your hands dirty... And the biggest advantage of frying peanuts this way is that they can be stored for months without changing the taste!" Xiao Yu reminded them with a smile as he watched the women pick up peanuts one after another to eat.
"Hiss~ What?" Upon hearing this, all the women were taken aback.
Since developing the good habit of listening to Xiao Yu tell stories every day.
At the same time, they also developed the good habit of eating snacks every day.
The problem is that the only snack available now is popcorn, which is too high in sugar and very sticky.
Washing your hands before and after eating is actually quite a hassle.
Most importantly, popcorn only tastes good when it's fresh out of the pot; after an hour or two, it becomes unpalatable.
However, roasting peanuts not only doesn't get your hands dirty, but they can also be stored for a long time!
"Also... fried peanuts taste just like popcorn, it depends on what ingredients you use..."
Seeing the blue-haired girl and the maid taking notes quickly, Xiao Yu didn't forget to remind them, "Next time, use honey and milk to make a richer, creamier flavor, and also a savory one..."
He rattled off all the different kinds of roasted peanuts he knew from his previous life.
Previously, this was because peanut production was not high and the quantity was insufficient.
But now, Longcheng has planted hundreds of acres of peanuts, and once they ripen, there will be an endless supply of peanuts to eat.
With the current conditions in Longcheng, it is possible to stir-fry peanuts in many different flavors.
"Okay, we'll give it a try later..." Xinglan nodded excitedly, full of fighting spirit.
Following Xiao Yu's suggestion, she also tried making several different flavors of popcorn.
The little maid's eyes also lit up.
She also tried the roasted peanuts, and found that they were not only delicious but could also be stored for a long time.
Such exquisite cuisine is sure to become a sensation throughout Longcheng.
In some ways, it has even shaken the status of popcorn.
"Now that we have peanuts, we need to increase our alcohol production as well."
