SZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
The sound of five hundred million car-sized Star-Devouring Locusts hitting fifty thousand tons of boiling garlic-and-cumin spirit oil echoed across the Cloud-Sea Sector like a hundred thousand strings of New Year firecrackers going off at once!
Inside the Ten-Mile Automatic Bug-Fryer Wok, the fused Culinary Law arrays flashed with golden light.
The instant the ferocious Rank 6 and Rank 7 locusts touched the boiling golden oil, their sharp wing-tips and ugly front mandibles automatically popped off and dissolved into harmless mineral ash. At the same time, the foul green acid-poison sacks inside their bellies were purified by the Sweet-Spring Culinary Law, transforming into rich, savory golden marrow-butter that basted the meat from the inside out!
Within three seconds, their rock-hard dark green shells turned a bright, translucent, flaky golden-red—just like deep-fried river prawns!
“Flip ’em once so the garlic sticks to the drumsticks!”
Standing on the roof of Kitchen Car #2, Old Guo gripped the brass control lever of the Two-Mile Iron Spatula with both muscular arms and swung it in a grand, practiced arc!
CLANG—SHHHHHH-FLIP!
