The collision of water droplets and hot oil ignited a large flame. Otter Kai remained unhurried, avoiding the fire, and with a flick of the large ladle, cast a shadow as he skillfully added the ingredients, tilting the pan to mix them.
A moment passes.
The steaming sautéed snake sinew is ready!
With a scoop of water from the large ladle to douse the pan, a brush to scrub, Otter Kai grabs one side with a cloth and hooks the other with an iron ladle, lifts the pan to pour water, then prepares another dish of spicy snake meat!
Liang Qu and Long Eying sat by the pond waiting for food. Receiving the chopsticks handed over by Eying, Liang Qu remarked with interest, "How come it feels like Otter Kai's culinary skills have improved after just two days?"
Long Eying cupped her chin and smiled, "You don't know? It's been selling grilled fish outside every day now!"
Liang Qu was taken aback, "Is there really such a thing?"
