Chapter 218: Chapter 219: Keqing? No, This Is a Yula Trap

Wang Fan’s actions are simple and efficient.

Shredded potatoes are soaking in water, rice dumpling leaves are soaking in boiling water, and he has already started cleaning the shrimps.

Pinching off heads, removing shells, and de-veining the shrimp—what was originally a bit disgusting now appears fascinating under his skilled hands, keeping this group of cosplayers intrigued. Instead of leaving, more and more people are gathering.

Wang Fan picked up a shrimp with just meat and tail left, wrapped it with freshly made shrimp paste and salad dressing, then retrieved the shredded potatoes from the water and attentively wrapped them around it.

After coating it in a layer of crispy batter, he placed it on a dish, quickly assembling 8 shrimp balls.

At this moment, the oil temperature also just reached sixty percent heat; Wang Fan picked up a shrimp tail and gently placed it in the oil pot.

“Sizzling…”

The sound of hot oil bubbling is endlessly fascinating, coupled with the intense aroma of fresh shrimp, it makes one feel extraordinarily satisfied.

Quite a few people suddenly felt their stomachs rumbling at this moment.

“Slurp… Brother, you smell so good…”

“Get lost, that’s the shrimp’s aroma, not mine!”

The shrimp balls keep rolling in the oil pot, their white skin gradually setting and changing color. Wang Fan uses a pair of long chopsticks to occasionally turn them, ensuring every corner of the shrimp balls is evenly fried.

Through high-temperature frying, the shrimp balls gradually become swollen, becoming more rounded and adorable.

One, two, three…

One by one, the round shrimp balls float up, their light golden color looking exceptionally eye-catching.

Wang Fan scooped the shrimp balls out to drain the oil, and after the oil temperature rose again, he proceeded with a second fry.

Taking advantage of this time, he arranged the rice dumpling leaves that Zhuo Qianqian just dried into a design on a plate.

The second fry was brief, fifteen seconds was enough, each shrimp ball thoroughly transforming from a light golden to a deep golden color.

Wang Fan placed the shrimp balls on the plate one by one, finally adding a small flower in the middle for decoration, completing this dish of golden silk shrimp balls.

The onlookers stared wide-eyed at the plate of food, feeling unable to distinguish between reality and virtuality for an instant.

“Oh my god, this isn’t just a replication, it’s like bringing a dish straight out of the game!”

“Honestly, do you think the food in the game looks better than this?”

“Wow man, you replicated it and then surpassed it?”

“Little Boss Wang really lives up to his name, please accept my admiration!”

This dish is sold in many restaurants, but those are different from what Wang Fan made.

Li Bo has eaten golden silk shrimp balls more than once, but those shrimp balls were covered in shredded potatoes that were all broken.

This one before us isn’t like that; the long shredded potatoes tightly wrapped around the shrimp balls far outshine those broken ones in appearance.

This is simply a work of art!

Unlike a string of code in a game, what’s before us is the real deal! As soon as you see the color, no one would doubt its crispness.

“No wonder this dish is many characters’ favorite, it wins just by its looks.”

“Keqing Catcher, this is a Keqing Catcher! I really want to know just how tasty it really is!”

“If this plate is placed in front of Keqing, wouldn’t Keqing follow me immediately?”

Two cosplayers in front of the stand spoke excitedly, while Wang Fan shook his head at them. Amid everyone’s confused looks, Wang Fan placed the plate before Zhuo Qianqian and said, “Not a Keqing Catcher, it’s a Yula Catcher.”

“Awoo awoo awoo awoo…”

“Awhoo awhoo…”

“Let this PDA come even stronger, I still haven’t had enough!”

“Awhoo… I wish I could replace myself!”

“If you say they aren’t true love, I wouldn’t believe it even if you beat me to death!”

“I admire you, Boss Wang, hand me that knife, I’ll commit a small one to enhance the fun for them, but remember to feed me shrimp balls so I can resurrect!”

“Get lost, you just want to scam food and drink!”

Zhuo Qianqian blushed in embarrassment at Wang Fan’s words, and the gaze of so many people made her face feel hot, as if it was on fire.

Never mind delivering Yula’s lines, she couldn’t even speak.

Wang Fan used chopsticks to pick up a shrimp ball and again offered it to Zhuo Qianqian’s mouth. Her lips parted lightly for a small bite, extremely ladylike.

Wang Fan was not satisfied with such a small bite, and he gently tapped Zhuo Qianqian’s lips with the shrimp ball.

Zhuo Qianqian seemed to come back to herself, scrunching her nose at Wang Fan adorably before opening her mouth to devour the entire shrimp ball.

“Crunch…”

The sound of the golden silk breaking is crisp and pleasant, its subtle shuffling like a lively melody skipping on the tongue. The shredded potatoes wrapped around the shrimp ball echo different sounds like piano strings being played while being chewed.

“Swallow… Is it really that crispy?”

“I’m hungry now… Wish someone would feed me shrimp balls like that…”

“Honestly, Boss Wang, even if these shrimp balls sold for hundreds a plate, I would definitely buy one to taste!”

“Why doesn’t anyone treat me this well?”

“There, there, don’t cry. Big bro will buy a plate of shrimp balls later and eat it for you.”

“Thank you, big brother…”

As the only person to have tasted the shrimp balls so far, Zhuo Qianqian’s joy could hardly be higher.

Teeth break into the shrimp ball, with the sweet and sour salad dressing combined with the fresh and springy shrimp meat delivering overwhelming pleasure to the taste buds.

The crispy shell and juicy shrimp meat meld together, allowing one to feel the shrimp’s springiness while integrating a crispy delight—a peculiar texture combination plunges one into the tempting allure of this culinary masterpiece.

“Boss, these shrimp balls are absolutely delicious!”

Zhuo Qianqian said, her eyes glowing.

“You don’t need to say it! We all know it’s tasty, now we’re just curious how much the shrimp balls are priced! Why don’t you come outside, I’ll wait inside for a bite?”

“Will Boss Wang have a new little activity?”

“Exactly, Boss Wang’s activities are far more interesting than those organized by the hosts.”

“Every year it’s singing, dancing, catwalking, the prizes are always some collectible peripherals, Boss Wang’s activities are indeed interesting, and the rewards tangible.”

Li Bo and Cheng Piao felt somewhat embarrassed hearing this.

After all, the organizing committee others were referring to are them.

But everyone always does it like this; no one said it was bad before, why do they complain now when it’s us?

All because of Wang Fan!

Li Bo looked at Wang Fan surrounded by everyone, feeling his proposal must be executed soon.

Even if the venue cost increases, as long as this wild boss stays, surely more people will come to the con!

Whether to flourish or not depends entirely on whether this wild boss can hold out for five days!

Wang Fan smiled and said, “No big event, but a small one could happen. Since there are limited shrimp balls, I’ll adjust the quantity per plate lower, meaning more friends can taste them. Of course, the price will also drop correspondingly, every plate with five shrimp balls priced at twenty bucks each. As for the event, as you’ve seen, this golden silk shrimp ball is quite complicated; if I were alone it’d take too long, so I’ll prepare the shrimp balls and shredded potatoes, whoever buys them will wrap their shrimp balls in potatoes themselves.”

“Hmm? We can participate in the making?”

Wang Fan’s announcement made this group of cosplayers’ eyes light up.

Participating in the making ourselves, it wouldn’t be excessive to say we did it, right?

Right?
