Chapter 1313: What Should He Do When Both His Wife And Daughter Want His Favor?

The rich aroma of the alcohol greeted Mag together with the fresh aroma of the crayfish. A delicious dish of steamed crayfish was done when the simplest method met the best ingredient.

The crayfish was so big that one could cover his entire face with it.

Amy came to the kitchen’s entrance and took a deep sniff of the aroma floating in the air as she expectantly asked Mag, “They smell so good, Father. Are the shrimpies ready?”

“They indeed smell very good.” Irina also came to the entrance and nodded as she swallowed her saliva instinctively.

“Yes, they are. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat the crayfish,” Mag said with a smile. He removed the crayfish from the steamer, and placed them on three plates individually. Together with the dipping sauces, Mag brought all of them to the dining area.

The crayfish that weighed about 1.2 kg each took up the entire plate. The bright red shell was still majestic, but the two pincers could no longer wave about.

Amy quickly washed her hands and climbed onto her chair. With her mouth wide open, she said, “Woah. What a huge shrimpy. It’s so much bigger than those shrimpies in the restaurant.”

The prawns that were used to cook the Yangzhou fried rice were indeed not comparable to this crayfish.

Irina sat down next to Mag as she looked at the bright red crayfish, and asked, “Is it fine to touch it now?”

“Yes. We just need to pry the shell open now, and eat it with the dipping sauce.” Mag nodded as he gripped his crayfish, and broke the shell on the head open. The yellow crayfish butter was almost seeping out of the head. It made him happy just by looking at it.

Mag scooped up a spoonful of the crayfish butter and fed it to Amy first.

Amy opened her mouth to accept it and her eyes lit up after chewing. She swiftly swallowed it, and exclaimed, “Hmm. This yellow stuff is delicious. It’s soft and aromatic. Father is awesome.”

“I want it too.” Irina opened her mouth a little and waited for Mag to feed her.

Mag glanced at the remaining crayfish butter before looking at the expectant Irina. He could only scoop up that remaining crayfish butter with resignation and feed it to Irina, who already had her mouth open.

What should he do when both his wife and daughter wanted his favor? Both his wife and daughter wanted the crayfish butter; there was no way he could choose between them, right?

The fresh crayfish butter had a very creamy texture that melted in the mouth. The fresh taste blossomed in the mouth with a faint hint of alcohol’s aroma, which elevated the taste and brought a very enjoyable dining experience. A smile appeared on Irina’s lips and she looked at Mag with approval. “It’s indeed very delicious.”

“Then eat more of it.” Mag’s heart was as sweet as honey after he received the praises from the two people he loved the most. So what if he had to eat less crayfish butter? He helped them pry open the head, and revealed the crayfish butter inside.

“You’ve worked so hard. You should have some too.” Irina scooped a big spoonful of crayfish butter and fed it to Mag.

Mag hesitated for a brief moment. Then, he accepted the crayfish butter with a smile as he looked at Irina’s smiley face.

The crayfish butter tasted very rich and more refreshing than that of the Australian lobsters. The texture was smooth and creamy as it glided along the tongue and slid down into the stomach.

The crayfish butter was the brain of the crayfish[1]. Eating the crayfish without sucking the butter was almost like missing out on the soul of this dish.

However, it was impossible to eat the normal crayfish butter with a spoon. Mag already couldn’t imagine how satisfying it would be to suck out all these crayfish butter after cooking them in the mala spicy crayfish style!

“Father, let me feed you one spoonful too.” Amy also scooped up a spoonful and fed it to Mag.

“Little Amy, you should have it yourself. Father has already had it.” Mag turned the spoon around to Amy with a smile. After watching her finish it, he picked up her crayfish and removed the shell to reveal the meat that was as thick as an adult’s wrist.

The white and glistening meat lay in the shell quietly, and it was so full that it almost burst out. The fresh crayfish aroma was so tempting.

Mag picked up a dining knife, and cut up the crayfish according to its sections. From the resistance felt against the knife, he could sense the crayfish’s supple and bouncy meat.

“Use this dipping sauce like when eating hot pot.” Mag passed the fork to Amy and pushed her dipping sauce toward her a little.

“Alrighty.” Amy picked up a piece of crayfish meat, and dipped it in the sauce before putting it into her mouth. The tender meat got even more scrumptious as she continued to chew. Her body couldn’t help but sway gently along with her chewing.

Before Mag could help her, Irina already followed his example and pried open the shell. She picked up the fork and knife gracefully, and cut up the crayfish before dipping it in the dipping sauce, and putting it into her mouth.

The tip of the tongue could sense the tendons in crayfish meat clearly as soon as she put it into her mouth. The smooth and tender texture was simply amazing.

As she chewed gently, the bouncy texture made the teeth happier and happier. The rich freshness of the crayfish exploded instantaneously and woke all taste buds up.

The dipping sauce’s taste wasn’t abrupt, but it set off the unique freshness of the crayfish perfectly as if that crayfish was alive and brandishing its pincers again instead.

At that instant, she seemed to have transformed into a crayfish, and was waving her pincers and swimming in the sea happily.

“This taste! It’s simply too scrumptious!” Irina couldn’t help but praise it.

There was a smile on Mag’s lips. He naturally was happy to see them enjoy their food.

After removing the shell, he picked up the whole piece of crayfish meat with a fork, and dipped it in the simple vinegar before biting a mouthful of it.

The supple and bouncy crayfish brought a mind-tingling texture, and the big mouthful of meat made the sensation of bliss go through the roof immediately.

The slightly tart taste of the vinegar activated the taste buds before they welcomed the real king.

The sweet and fresh juice of the meat burst out in the mouth, and the supple meat was so tender. The crayfish’s fresh taste was slowly released during the chewing.

“This feeling is simply too enjoyable.” After swallowing the mouthful of crayfish, Mag gawked at the remaining crayfish meat on the fork with bright eyes.

Even the Boston lobster couldn’t match the taste of this crayfish.

One mouthful followed by another mouthful of this crayfish made one immersed in the continuous sensation of blissfulness.

The three of them still felt unsated after eating up all the 1.2 kg crayfish, including the pincers.

“Burr~” Amy burped. As she held onto a pincer, she sang, “Big crayfish, so delicious…”

“Meow~” Ugly Duckling let out a cry as it looked at the three of them aggrievedly.

“Oh, I forgot to prepare the food for Ugly Duckling.” Mag suddenly remembered. Because its priority was so low, he forgot about it completely.

“It’s alright. There won’t be any dinner for you too.” Amy reached out to touch Ugly Duckling’s head as she consoled it.

“Meow~”

Ugly Duckling lay on the floor weakly as if it was about to starve to death.

“Alright. I’ll steam you a crayfish.” Mag grabbed a crayfish, and proceeded to the kitchen.

After lunch, Mag drove the mobile restaurant westward, and they reached the uninhabited western area of Carapace Island in less than 30 minutes.

“Let’s go and have a look at this island.” Mag, who had finished his camouflaging, carried Amy, who was pretending to be a little demon, and went ashore.

[1] Crayfish butter is, in fact, the hepatopancreas, which functions similarly to a human liver. It filters out toxins and other substances that could potentially harm the crayfish.
