Mag’s explanation stopped suddenly, but his expression had far exceeded any explanation in words. Those who stood near him could even hear the sounds of the teeth chewing the tripe. It sounded so heavenly that it made the people unable to resist imagining how the bouncy tripe would feel if it was being chewed in their mouths.
“Gulp.”
The sound of gulping could be heard.
What an unique way of eating. It can be so particular and intricate when it comes to eating a small piece of tripe. This Boss Mag is really an expert on food, Vanessa praised in her heart secretly as she gulped while looking at the different ingredients placed on each layer of the trolley. Could there be an unique way to eat each and every ingredient?
“Timing is of the utmost importance when it comes to scalding the tripe. It will be too chewy if it’s scalded for too long, but it will have a fishy smell if it’s not scalded enough. However, if you follow the instruction manual, you basically won’t have any problems,” Mag told Miya and the gang with a smile, and then gestured to the small portion of tripe next to them. “Let’s try it out.”
“I will try it out too.” Amy picked up a piece of tripe with her chopsticks carefully, and placed it in the pot just like Mag did. Then, she lifted it up and repeated the same actions until there were blisters on the tripe. She dipped the tripe that was covered with the glistening red soup in the dipping sauce. She blew at it gently near her mouth before putting it into her mouth.
Amy’s eyes lit up as her little teeth chewed on the tripe happily, and made sounds that resembled a hamster chewing food. Her intricate tiny face was filled with a blissful expression. After swallowing it, she picked up another piece of tripe immediately, and put it in the pot carefully. She happily exclaimed, “Tripe is so delicious, so I am going to have another one. Moreover, scalding the tripe is fun.”
Anna had also picked up a piece of tripe accurately, and scalded it in the pot, following Mag’s instructions to a T. She soon finished scalding a piece of tripe and ate it.
Those who were questioning the hot pot’s way of eating were speechless now. After all, if a four, five years old girl could do it, it would be embarrassing for an adult to claim it to be difficult.
The most important crux was the spicy aroma that was getting increasingly tantalizing with time. It was simply a torture to watch this table full of people chewing on the tripe and singing its praises while they could only watch quietly at the side!
“The method of eating the duck intestine is basically similar to the tripe.” Mag picked up a long piece of duck intestine, and submerged it in the hot pot. After dipping it for a few times, the duck intestine began to curl. He rolled it into dipping sauce before feeding it into his mouth.
The perfect timing released the crunchy texture of the duck intestine perfectly. The spicy aromatic red broth had removed the stench of the duck intestine, and gave it a beautiful taste. The crunchy sounds made it feel like the tongue could drop from too much chewing.
“Oh, it’s so spicy!” Little beads of sweat began to appear on Yabemiya’s forehead as soon as she ate the tripe. Her chest was heaving slightly, and light gold dragon scales began to appear on her forehead vaguely.
“We will just eat with the clear broth.” Elizabeth placed her hand on Miya’s wrist, and a cool presence engulfed her instantaneously. The dragon scales that were about to come out went back in again.
“Mm-hmm.” Yabemiya looked at Elizabeth and nodded as she realized something.
“This tripe and duck intestine are so scrumptious. As if I have made it myself, eating them gave me a sense of accomplishment.” Gina picked up a strip of duck intestine, and put it into the red soup pot, all smiles. She was very excited to be able to participate in the action of cooking.
“Sliced beef is a very important character among the meat dishes of the hot pot. The superior ribeye sliced beef has very good marbling. It resembles the shape of an eye, and that’s why it’s called that. The color is bright yet soothing, and it will be thinly sliced. You just have to cook it in the hot pot for a brief moment before taking it out immediately.”
Mag picked up a piece of thinly sliced fresh beef, and scalded it in the boiling soup pot. The fresh red color turned white very quickly before it was coated with a layer of beautiful red. He lifted it up from the pot, rolled the steaming beef in the dipping sauce, and coated it with sesame oil and gravy. Then, he put it into his mouth.
The sliced beef had absorbed the taste of the thick broth perfectly, and that tender and delicate texture was mesmerizing. As he chewed gently, the aroma of the meat began to fill his entire mouth. It was irresistible.
“Pig’s brain. A delicacy that mortals don’t dare to try…
“Sliced lotus root. The best item of the vegetarian hot pot…
“Enoki mushroom. The representative of the hot pot’s mushrooms…”
Mag gave a simple description for every item that he ate, but he refused to tell them how they tasted. He decided to let them decipher it from his expressions.
“My heavens! What crimes have I ever committed?”
“D-do the laws still apply here?”
“Kill me. I don’t want to suffer like this anymore!”
“Am I the only one who is envious of the staff’s meals? Is Boss Mag still recruiting service staff? I don’t want the wages, I just want the staff’s meals.”
“Sister, count me in.”
The customers who were watching the table full of people eating happily had numb scalps and chilled limbs, and gulped furiously. They felt they were about to go crazy.
“Hot pot dipping looks very interesting and scrumptious. I wonder if we can eat it today?” Vanessa stared at the hot pot on the table with glowing eyes.
“Young Mistress, how could you cook for yourself? This isn’t something you should do,” Lola said softly, shaking her head.
We can dip meat in, and we could also dip vegetarian food in. So, is this hot pot considered a meat dish or a vegetarian dish? Randy held his chin, and went into deep thoughts at the side.
A pair of chubby hands patted Randy’s shoulders from the back. Abraham squeezed out from the crowd with a smile, and asked Randy, “Food critic, I heard Boss Mag released a new item today. Do you feel twisted? Do you feel terrible?”
“Take a look yourself. Whoever is watching this new item is going to feel twisted.” Randy crossed his arms and gestured to the front.
“Today, the staff of Mamy Restaurant is provoking us together!” Abraham was shocked to see how the Mamy Restaurant’s staff were having their staff meal. He was astounded when he took a look at the surrounding customers, who all had an aggrieved expression.
“Isn’t that so? They not even just eat it first, the crux is we can only watch.” Harrison nodded in agreement before forcing out a smile to ask Amy, who was scalding a duck intestine, “Little Boss, is that duck intestine crunchy?”
Amy lifted up the curled up duck intestine and moved it across Harrison’s face before dipping it in the sauce. Smiling, she said, “Listen carefully.”
“Crunch, crunch.”
Amy fed the duck intestine into her mouth and chewed happily before swallowing it, and asked Harrison, “Do you hear its crunchiness?”
“Crunchy.” Harrison nodded with a weird expression, and then made a forced smile. What else could he do? He was also very desperate!
When could he ever swindle a piece of food from Little Boss? Much still remained to be done for him.
“Young Mistress.” Lola tugged on Vanessa’s sleeve, and gestured to her to take note of Abraham who was standing at the back.
“Uncle Abraham!” Vanessa’s eyes lit up. She shifted to Abraham’s side under Lola’s protection and tugged on his sleeve.
“Erm?” Abraham turned his head and looked at Vanessa, who was wearing a veil, in a shock. Who was this young maiden?
“Uncle, it’s me,” Vanessa said softly.
