Grand salmon feast

Chapter 382,127 words18 min read

In the end, Beverly, with a bruised face, was forcibly stuffed into the carriage by Loraine.

This was also the first time Long Ling had seen Loraine hit someone.

The woman who usually engraved elegance and nobility into her bones was merciless when she disciplined her sister.

The black dragon horns were stained with a violent aura, and the magic-condensed whip lashed out, drawing blood and flesh.

Beverly’s last glance at Loraine’s expression was filled with fear.

Broken dragon scales fell down with a rustling sound, and her body trembled non-stop.

“Sister, don’t hit me anymore, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again!”

Loraine had a perfect score in magic class.

As the crown prince, she always knew how to deal with disobedient Alphas.

Power in hand did not allow anyone to touch it, not even a sister.

She continued to whip until Beverly had fear and obedience engraved in her heart, then Loraine stopped.

This matter was considered a family affair.

Even if His Majesty knew that she had disciplined her sister, she would at most say that she had gone too far.

“Violet, I will be hosting a ball next month, will you and Long Ling come?”

Loraine stuffed Beverly into the carriage and smiled at Violet and Long Ling, extending an invitation.

Violet was naturally not interested, but of course she didn’t want to let Long Ling go alone. Within her territory, she was always an absolute dictator.

Violet’s red lips parted slightly, and she coldly refused: “I won’t go.”

Loraine smiled and asked Long Ling: “Long Ling, have you attended a ball when you were in the Arnold family? You can dance with Violet in the ballroom, and you can stay at my manor at night.”

Long Ling was very tempted, but Violet didn’t agree to her going out, and she couldn’t go out yet.

“Let’s talk about it later. Recently, my tavern is also busy with the opening, and the Duke also has a lot of things to do.”

Loraine winked: “Unfortunately, I have to go back and can’t watch your competition. If you win, you can send me a letter, and I will come to celebrate with you when I have time next time. Remember to make some delicious food.”

Long Ling agreed and waved to her: “I will treat you warmly when you come next time, goodbye.”

Loraine waved with a smile: “Bye-bye.”

Long Ling and Violet watched Loraine walk away, and suddenly remembered that she was going to participate in the competition, but had not had time to give the tavern a new name.

Long Ling looked at Violet and asked, “Duke, the original sign of the tavern is damaged, so I plan to make a new one. What name do you want to come up with?”

Violet raised her eyebrows slightly: “It’s your tavern, so you make the decision.”

Long Ling gently oh-ed, but this was a tavern that was rebuilt with the help of Miss Evil Dragon, and it would be more meaningful if the two of them participated together.

She still tried: “This tavern is the first one I’ve run. If you help me come up with a name, I think it will be more prosperous after opening.”

Violet said lightly: “It’s just a small tavern. You can name it after your own name.”

“If I name it after my name, everyone will know that it’s a tavern opened by a dragon.” Long Ling moved closer to Violet, and softly pleaded: “Can’t I name it after both of our names?”

Violet shook her head and refused: “You can’t. You can name it after the mountains, rivers or streets near the tavern. I have something else to do, so you can go and take care of it.”

Violet turned her wheelchair and left, and Ellena quickly followed behind her.

Long Ling fiddled with her fingers. Miss Evil Dragon was really ruthless and cold about these insignificant things.

If Miss Evil Dragon didn’t want to participate, then the tavern could only be called Liepa Tavern or Mist Tavern.

Long Ling struggled between the two for a while, and finally told Renee the name of Mist Tavern and asked her to make a new sign.

As a dragon, it was too easy to be recognized, so Long Ling had to go to the magic tailor shop to buy herself a special cloak, and also order a set of work clothes for Mina, who would participate in the competition, and for the staff who would work in the tavern in the future.

Long Ling clenched the brand new gold coins in her hand.

This money was all obtained from Miss Evil Dragon.

The small gold coins reflected light in the sun, and she was a little reluctant to use them.

One gold coin was equal to one hundred silver coins.

A high-grade magic cloak required ten gold coins.

After wearing it, it was incredibly light, and could conceal the dragon’s aura, and could also use magic to obtain a period of invisibility.

According to the owner of the tailor shop, a thief once wore such a magic cloak to steal the gold coins in Violet’s Duke’s Estate warehouse, but unfortunately, the thief was carrying a large bag of property, but he woke up the sleeping dragon on his way out, and was burned to ashes by the dragon.

Long Ling couldn’t help but imagine Miss Evil Dragon coiled on the mountain of gold coins, proud, cold and looking down on the world.

It was reasonable to kill the thief.

She didn’t know if what the owner said was true, but maybe the gold coins were not kept in the secret room below the bedroom, and Miss Evil Dragon had magic.

She must have been aware of the thief slipping under her nose.

Maybe the owner was just trying to promote his cloak.

Long Ling really needed this cloak.

After spending money to buy it, she also ordered six sets of uniforms.

The pattern was simple and generous. In addition to the “Mist Tavern” four words, the price of the uniforms was relatively cheaper, adding up to two gold coins.

She planned to learn from the way the Salmon Feast competition was run and make some leaflets.

If she could win the competition, and write the daily opening hours of the tavern on the leaflets, it would definitely be crowded with customers.

Long Ling took out the sauerkraut she had made a few days ago, removed the excess salt, and chopped it into small pieces.

She also bought a piece of pork back fat from the butcher shop, cut the snow-white pork back fat into thick slices one finger wide, and boiled fragrant lard in the pot, and then put it in a small jar.

The pork lard residue was also not wasted, and was all cut into fine pieces of lard dings, and put aside for later to make pork lard buns.

Long Ling even went to the market to buy some dried fish bones, and the lard was used to stir-fry sauerkraut, and the aroma of stir-frying with lard was stronger. In order to make the taste richer, Long.

After stir-frying the fish bones in the pot, she used lard to fry some fish bones, and boiled them into a soup, and then added a dozen bone-boiled high-grade soup.

After these soups were concentrated, she could use

Each time she used only one piece, added some hot water, and after cooking, she only needed to add side dishes and fish, and a perfect sauerkraut fish would be completed.

High-grade soup was the soul of a dish.

Mina only needed to follow the recipe written by Long Ling in an orderly manner on the competition venue, add side dishes that could enhance the color of the dish, and finally add sliced fish, and a dish that could be called a perfect sauerkraut fish would be completed.

During this time, Long Ling mainly supervised Mina to practice her knife skills.

After all, the fish was also the key to a dish. Long Ling’s was considered to have taken advantage of loopholes in the competition.

She carefully read the competition precautions, and no one stipulated that chefs couldn’t bring seasoning packs, which was similar to preparing dipping sauces, which was also the key to her confidence in winning.

Everything was prepared properly. On the day the Salmon Feast competition began, Mina wore the Mist Tavern uniform, put on a chef’s hat, and looked very professional.

The other maids also put on the same attire, holding a stack of prepared leaflets.

The venue was crowded with residents from nearby towns, and one hundred of them would have a voting right, which was randomly distributed by the mayor of Liepa Town.

For absolute fairness, in addition to inviting the gourmets who had been responsible for judging, they also specially invited a councilor from Gliss Harbor.

The middle-aged and bloated mayor sat on a red chair, tightened the tie on his body, and turned his head to look at the clock: “The competition is about to start, but the councilor’s carriage hasn’t arrived yet?”

The secretary looked at the crowd below:

“There may be traffic on the road. You know that we hold this event every year, and not only the residents of Liepa Town will participate, but also people from several surrounding towns will come.”

The mayor wrapped his thick coat around his body: “If he doesn’t come by twelve o’clock, let’s start the competition first. The weather is so cold today, I can’t wait to eat the secret roast fish.”

Not only the mayor had great expectations for the grilled fish, but also the town residents who had participated in the Salmon Feast competition in the past gathered at Jones’ place, who made the secret grilled fish.

Jones was burly, with two mustaches, and could move the oversized oven by himself.

The oven was placed steadily in the arena, and he threw a small cart of firewood into it in a while.

The weather was cold, and the fire was strong, making the surroundings warm, and Jones could attract attention from other chefs from his aura.

When he took out a large red salmon more than one meter long and slaughtered it on the table, the surrounding audience burst into thunderous cheers.

The support team held up signs and shouted around Jones: “Jones! First place! Jones! First place!”

The atmosphere in the stadium was ignited at once, and even the surrounding crowds cheered for Jones.

Other chefs, seeing that Jones was so powerful, couldn’t help but feel a sense of retreat.

After all, he had been the champion for so long, and so many people supported him, so they were probably just there to make up the numbers.

Mina, seeing that others had so many supporters, clenched her fists and said anxiously to Long Ling under the stage:

“Miss Long Ling, should we also prepare big fish like Jones, and now there are not many people watching us.”

Long Ling said softly: “Don’t worry, you only need to cut the fish fillets as I asked you to practice before.

The competition has just started, don’t increase the morale of others and destroy our own prestige.”

Nora also made a heart shape to Mina: “Come on! Mina! You are the best!”

Mina saw Long Ling’s firm gaze, and her impetuous heart slowly settled down.

Miss Long Ling’s cooking skills were the best she had ever seen.

She couldn’t do it, that was because she was too bad, but Miss Long Ling was different, Miss Long Ling was an invincible dragon.

After repeatedly hypnotizing herself several times, Mina gradually calmed down, took out the prepared live salmon, and put it on the table, just like she usually cut fish fillets in the manor, with great focus and seriousness.

The first slice was cut very well, more neatly and thinly than she had ever cut, followed by the second slice, the third slice…

She imagined the smooth and neat movements that Miss Long Ling usually made, as if she had also entered the world of the god of knives, with man and knife united into one.

“Miss Long Ling, why are Mina’s eyes suddenly straight? She won’t faint, will she?” Nora, who was cheering, suddenly asked worriedly.

“Um, it’s possible, she’s still moving with the kitchen knife in her hand, she should be able to finish the competition, right?” Long Ling couldn’t help but wipe away her sweat.
