Chapter 237: Three-person team dinner (3)
First, prepare fresh garlic, peel and clean it, then mince it into a fine paste. Heat oil in a wok until it's barely smoking. Quickly pour the hot oil into the bowl of minced garlic. With a sizzling sound, the garlic is instantly infused with a rich aroma. Add a pinch of salt to enhance the flavor, a dash of light soy sauce for a savory and savory taste, and a dash of oyster sauce for a more savory flavor. Stir thoroughly, and you've created a delicious garlic sauce.
Next, take a clean casserole and carefully prepare the base. Choose juicy baby cabbage or smooth enoki mushrooms as the base, spreading them evenly across the bottom. Next, place the pre-soaked vermicelli noodles on top.
The next crucial step is to arrange the shrimp. Place the cleaned shrimp one by one on the vermicelli, making sure each shrimp has a good view and avoid overlapping as much as possible to ensure even heating during cooking.
Now it's time for the garlic sauce! Evenly spread the fragrant garlic sauce you've previously sautéed over the shrimp and vermicelli, ensuring every corner is coated in this alluring flavor. Of course, to further enhance the flavor, you can also drizzle a small amount of light soy sauce and oyster sauce.
Once everything is ready, carefully add a small bowl of clear water along the edge of the casserole. Gently cover the pot and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Immediately reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes. During this time, be patient and observe the color of the shrimp through the transparent lid. When you see them gradually change from bluish-white to a bright red, they are cooked through.
Finally, open the lid and be greeted by a whirlwind of steam, a blend of garlic, shrimp, and a variety of seasonings. While this heat is still simmering, quickly sprinkle a handful of scallions on top. This not only adds color and flavor, but also makes the dish even more appealing and appetizing. A delicious, flavorful, and vibrant shrimp and vermicelli casserole is ready! Serve and savor the delicious flavor.
After meticulous cooking, the fragrant, mouth-watering shrimp and vermicelli casserole was finally ready! Satisfied, I took it off the stove and gently placed it on the dining table. Then, I turned to the kitchen and retrieved the beef, which had been perfectly marinated yesterday, from the refrigerator. Carefully, I picked up the knife and expertly sliced the beef into evenly thick slices.
After completing this step, I immediately moved on to the next dish: Maoxuewang. The various ingredients tumbled and danced in the wok, emitting waves of enticing spicy aroma. In a short while, a bowl of Maoxuewang, with its beautiful color, aroma, and flavor, appeared before my eyes.
Of course, the sweet and sour pork ribs are a must! The tender and juicy ribs are coated in a translucent icing, making them incredibly appetizing. By the time the last dish is successfully served, today's sumptuous dinner is complete.
I happily shouted towards the living room, "Lillian, Ferro, it's time to eat!" Hearing my call, Lily and Ferro ran to the dining table happily. The three of us sat together and happily enjoyed this delicious meal.
Around the spacious, brightly lit dining table, everyone quietly savored the delicious meal. For the first few minutes, only the gentle clinking of cutlery and the subtle clatter of chewing filled the air. Everyone focused on savoring the vibrant, beautiful dishes, temporarily putting aside words.
However, once her initial craving for food was slightly alleviated, the lively and curious Lillian couldn't contain her inner questions and was the first to break the silence. She cast her gaze towards Ferro, who was sitting across from her, and asked softly, "Ferro, where have you been all this time? You seem so mysterious!"
Hearing Lillian's question, Ferro paused in his attempt to put the food in his mouth, slowly swallowed the unchewed food, and carefully set down his chopsticks. He looked up to meet Lillian's gaze, but his eyes flickered unconsciously, as if hiding something important. After a moment's silence, Ferro finally replied, "Actually... I went on a secret training trip."
When Lillian heard this, her eyes widened, her face full of surprise and confusion, and she quickly asked: "Secret training? What kind of secret training? Why is it so mysterious?" She stared at Ferro, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity.
Faced with Lillian's barrage of questions, Ferro seemed a little hesitant. He hesitated for a long time before stammering, "Well...it's about training for a certain superpower."
When these words came out, not only Lillian felt unbelievable, even I, who had been listening quietly beside them, couldn't help but interrupt and said: "Superpower? You must be kidding, Ferro! How can there be such a thing as superpower in this world?" There was obvious doubt and disbelief in my tone.
Ferro looked at our reactions and sighed helplessly. He took a deep breath, as if making a great decision, and then slowly extended his right hand. At this moment, an astonishing scene occurred—a very weak blue electric current suddenly emerged from his fingertips, dancing and flashing in the air like a tiny lightning bolt.
"This is the result of my training during this period." Ferro stared at the electricity on his fingertips and explained in a low voice, "I discovered by chance that I actually have the ability to control electricity. But this matter is too unbelievable. If I accidentally spread it out, I'm afraid it will bring me a lot of unexpected trouble. That's why I have been hiding it from you two and didn't tell you the truth."
Lillian covered her mouth in surprise, and I stared wide-eyed. After a moment, Lillian came to her senses. "Is this ability of yours dangerous? What if you get hurt?" Ferro smiled. "Don't worry, I'm learning to control it. I'll be fine." He then picked up another piece of beef and put it in his mouth. The atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
It turns out that in this vast, mysterious world of interstellar space, there's a hidden truth: some people possess extraordinary special abilities! And ordinary citizens like me are completely unaware of this. However, upon closer inspection, it's understandable. After all, even I can miraculously carry my phone across space and use it to easily complete various tasks like shopping. So, the idea that interstellar people possess special abilities doesn't seem entirely unimaginable.
Speaking of Ferro's military experience, he was not only responsible for designing advanced mechas but also participated in classified special training missions. When he proactively shared this with us, it meant that, at least in this matter, there were no strict confidentiality restrictions. So, later on, both Lillian and I tacitly avoided further inquiries about his situation, and instead naturally steered the conversation back to the future operations and development of the Link account, which was closely related to me.
