Dragon's Origin

Chapter 100: The City Lord's Mansion's New Industry (Part 2)

Before Wang Sheng could even start picking out the demon beasts, several beauties swiftly moved and placed one onto the large chopping board in Wang Sheng's stall.

“Little brother, why don't you process one first and let them watch and learn,” Butler suddenly said.

Wang Sheng remained noncommittal. He took a few steps forward, about to start, but then he paused. He explained to the puzzled Butler beside him, “Let's wait for the water to boil, wash my hands and the chopping board, make it cleaner.”

Butler nodded in satisfaction and said nothing more. During the waiting time, the six women weren't idle. They sorted the large pile of demon beasts into categories. Especially a small pile among them, which seemed to have a variety of demon beasts, but was clearly different from the others.

Wang Sheng understood after just a few glances. This small pile was fresh, prepared for the City Lord and the Butler. Including the one just placed on the board, all needed to be personally prepared by Wang Sheng. The others were definitely for the six women to handle.

It seemed that his suggestion to boil water and wash his hands had pleased Butler. Wang Sheng waited for the water to boil, washed his hands, tools, and the chopping board thoroughly, and then began processing.

Wang Sheng had dissected these demon beasts in detail before, so processing them was easy. For those that needed plucking, he scalded them and plucked the feathers. For those that needed skinning, he used a dagger. Then, Wang Sheng began his previous performance from the outer city, like a skilled butcher effortlessly carving an ox.

This performance even captivated the City Lord. Wang Sheng's technique was simply too beautiful, especially during the bone removal and meat separation stage. The rhythm was outstanding, and he handled everything with ease, giving people a sense of aesthetic enjoyment.

The six women were stunned. Don't underestimate their sword and saber skills, but when had they ever been exposed to such kitchen knife skills?

They had been brought here by the Butler with a lot of dissatisfaction. Just an ordinary, insignificant person, at most a First Realm cultivator, and they were supposed to assist him? Where was the pride of them as experts?

But after seeing Wang Sheng's incredibly swift butchering skills, the women were dumbfounded. They couldn't achieve Wang Sheng's smoothness, let alone his ease.

However, no one was stupid. Aside from anything else, just looking at the accuracy and ease with which Wang Sheng wielded the knife, they knew that slaughtering demon beasts would definitely be beneficial for practicing weapons. At this point, without Butler's urging, they were willing to try it themselves.

During Wang Sheng's processing of the demon beasts, besides his clean and swift technique, another major characteristic was his attention to hygiene. He immediately rinsed with boiling water any place that came into contact with anything unclean. He washed his dagger and hands very frequently, which made Butler nod repeatedly.

This was, after all, going to enter his and the City Lord's mouths, so Butler had to watch Wang Sheng make it. After watching this process, Wang Sheng was extremely clean, which made him feel very comfortable.

When it came to the women processing the older demon beasts, it wasn't so pretty. Although each of the six women was a beauty, pleasing to the eye, their movements when processing the demon beasts were extremely uncoordinated. Especially since they had no experience and still wanted to imitate Wang Sheng's movements, they made a lot of jokes.

Fortunately, although the process wasn't pretty, they managed to process all of these demon beasts. They cut them according to Wang Sheng's instructions and divided them into several pots.

Wang Sheng had specifically picked out some demon beasts with unique flavors before processing them. These couldn't be stewed in a large pot, otherwise the flavors would mix. He placed the ones for the City Lord's Mansion and the Butler in a separate large pot, and divided the others equally into five pots, then started stewing according to Wang Sheng's instructions.

At this point, Wang Sheng didn't need to do anything, just give instructions. It was still the same process, discard the first boil, and add seasonings from the second boil onwards.

Wang Sheng also told the women what each seasoning was and the approximate ratio. The seasoning packets were made of clean linen, boiled in boiling water. After the fire was lit, it was just a matter of controlling the heat and waiting for the flavors to infuse.

This time, Wang Sheng used up all the refined salt that he had painstakingly made after coming to Worry-Free City. He had to make another batch in the evening, so he wouldn't run out of salt for himself.

Yesterday, Wang Sheng was still cooking in the kitchen, but today the entire outer courtyard was full of stoves. After the water boiled for a while, the rich aroma almost filled the entire street.

While waiting, Butler specifically asked about the meaning of the 'old broth'. When he learned that it was a delicious soup formed by repeatedly stewing a pot of soup with seasonings and repeatedly adding seasonings and blending various meat flavors, he pointed to the pot specially made for the City Lord and said that after it was finished, that pot of soup had to be taken away.

It was just a pot of soup, Wang Sheng didn't care. It was good to take it away, he wouldn't have to make it himself every time. It was good for them to bring people to learn and then make it themselves.

The rich aroma raged throughout half of the inner city for an entire afternoon. Wang Sheng only extinguished the fire when the hungry people were ready for dinner. They picked out the ingredients, cold-processed those that needed it. After everything was ready, without Wang Sheng lifting a finger, the six long-legged beauties carried them to the surrounding courtyards.

Not a single one of the families who had ordered the braised food in the morning was missed. As for what was left, Wang Sheng didn't plan to mistreat the people who had worked. He kept a portion for himself and let the others take the rest.

As for the City Lord's pot, someone had already taken the entire pot away. Before Wang Sheng could consider what to do with the rest, Butler spoke up.

“Little brother, the City Lord's Mansion is buying your technique. From now on, you are not to spread it.” While saying this, Butler waved his hand, and two people appeared from nowhere, carrying a large box and delivering it to Wang Sheng: “You can eat it yourself or sell it yourself, but don't sell the method, how about it?”

“Okay!” Wang Sheng certainly had no objections, it was just a braised meat recipe, not something precious. But Wang Sheng suddenly remembered the seasoning issue and quickly reminded him: “I'm fine with anything, but you have to pay attention to the seasonings.”

“Don't worry, no one will know what it is.” Butler said confidently: “In the future, the City Lord's Mansion will open another industry, specializing in selling those blended seasonings, as long as you keep your mouth shut.” Saying that, he patted the big box, cupped his fist at Wang Sheng, and turned to leave.

A group of people began to move, carrying all the large pots in the yard away, their movements showing that they were experts.

Wang Sheng waited until everyone had finished their work, then looked at the once again empty front yard, suddenly not knowing how to express his feelings: “A new industry? The Worry-Free City Lord selling Thirteen Spices? That scene is too beautiful! Just thinking about it makes me drunk.”
