25: Red coral

Lu Fan returned to the Shelter, impatiently beginning to process the caught seafood.

He first cleaned the lobster and Sea Cucumber, then began cooking using an iron pot and an earthenware jar.

He placed the lobster in the iron pot, added a suitable amount of water, sprinkled some salt and the herbs he had gathered, and brought it to a boil over high heat.

As for the Sea Cucumber, he placed it in the earthenware jar, added water and some wild ginger, and let it simmer slowly over low heat.

"Delicacies I couldn't even afford in my past life—I must have a good taste this time."

A slight smile touched the corners of Lu Fan's mouth, his eyes filled with anticipation for the feast.

The audience in the livestream room.

"lobster and Sea Cucumber, I'm already drooling."

"This dish looks so delicious, I want a bite too."

"I'm so jealous of those who drew the lobster."

Wang Tao also said with a smile, "Lu Fan's culinary skills are getting better and better; every dish is a pleasant surprise."

Yu Rui couldn't help but say enviously, "It looks so tasty; I'm going to have a taste later too."

Meanwhile, viewers from other countries could only watch with envy, aside from some futile cursing.

Finally, the lobster and Sea Cucumber were ready. Lu Fan gently scooped a spoonful with a wooden spoon, blew on the steam, and then took a cautious bite.

The lobster was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the Sea Cucumber was stewed until tender and flavorful. Every bite was a gift from nature, making him nod repeatedly in high praise.

"No wonder these things are so expensive; there's a reason for the price," Lu Fan thought to himself.

He served the cooked lobster and Sea Cucumber into a bowl and sat in front of the Shelter, slowly enjoying his meal.

"Oh man, I'm dying of cravings."

"I'm drooling from hunger."

After finishing the lobster and Sea Cucumber, Lu Fan patted his stomach in satisfaction, feeling much warmer all over.

It was already late after the meal; Lu Fan couldn't help but let out a yawn and went back to his new bed to lie down and sleep.

The next day, Lu Fan brought his equipment to the seaside early.

Yesterday's harvest had given him a taste of success, so he decided to explore some more today.

After the usual warm-up, he entered the sea.

In the livestream room.

"The early bird gets the worm; Great God Lu Fan is truly diligent."

"Great God Lu Fan wakes up so early, unlike me who just didn't sleep at all. Sigh, just for fun."

"The person above is actually a master of the Half-Step Sudden Death Realm. Respect, respect."

Lu Fan used a bamboo stick to gently poke through the sand on the seabed, hoping to find more seafood.

[red coral colony discovered]

Lu Fan looked down and saw a group of brightly colored corals with unique shapes, resembling a burning Flaming Mountain.

He touched them and found the texture hard; then he quickly surfaced and wiped his face.

"red coral!"

Lu Fan shouted excitedly, his voice full of pleasant surprise.

One must know that before he transmigrated, red coral was exceptionally precious, and some wealthy people were keen on collecting it.

He decided to pick a piece to take back as a decoration. After some thought, he chose a piece of red coral about the size of a basketball.

Lu Fan carefully used his dagger to cut the base of the red coral.

He took the red coral out of the seabed; once out of the water, its color became even more vivid, as if it might burst into flames at any moment.

"What is this? It's so beautiful! Is it some kind of underwater plant?"

"Is this red coral? It looks so good; I want to touch it too."

"Nature truly is a master craftsman."

Wang Tao also said excitedly, "Lu Fan's luck is really good; red coral is a rare treasure. In our country, to protect the marine environment, the collection and trade of red coral were banned long ago."

As a girl, Yu Rui naturally had no resistance to such beautiful things: "Wow, the red coral Lu Fan found is so pretty; I even want to buy one."

To make it easier to continue hunting, Lu Fan brought the red coral to the sandy beach on the shore.

Lu Fan continued searching the seabed.

[pearl clam discovered]

Looking at the giant pearl clam opening and closing before him, Lu Fan's expression became a bit odd.

"What's going on today? So many treasures are just coming to me."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, "In this wilderness, what use do I have for this? It would be so much better if I were given this in real life."

But as the old saying goes, since I'm already here...

Lu Fan stuffed those pearl clams, which were larger than a head, into his basket.

"pearl clams? Can pearls be opened from them?"

"They probably won't open up a 'fake pig'."

Then he continued his search.

[premium oysters on the reef ahead]

Seeing this prompt, Lu Fan's eyes lit up. He climbed onto the reef with his dagger, and sure enough, many large oysters were attached to it.

Lu Fan immediately used his dagger to pry them off.

"Such huge oysters! Incredible."

"Such huge premium oysters—Lu Fan, you can't handle them, let me."

"What are you guys talking about? Why don't I understand?"

After another search, the sun was almost overhead.

Returning to the shore, Lu Fan sat on a rock and began to count his spoils.

..."Wow, this harvest is way too bountiful."

"I feel like we're the ones struggling to survive, while Great God Lu Fan is enjoying life."

"I'm envious."

Lu Fan returned fully loaded, and the first thing he did was make a feast for himself.

He set the earthenware jar over the fire, added half a jar of water, then put in half a leg of lamb and two sections of lamb ribs, added Wild Green Onions and salt, and finally covered it to braise.

Besides the lamb soup, Lu Fan also prepared to grill several large oysters.

He first cleaned the oysters, carefully pried open the shells with his dagger, took out the meat, and then placed the meat back into the shells.

Then, he sprinkled some salt, minced wild ginger, and herbs on the oyster meat to enhance the flavor.

Next, he gathered some hot coals, placed the oyster shells on them, and began grilling the oysters.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Fan took down two lamb kidneys hanging on the wall, used his dagger to make decorative cuts, and skewered them with two bamboo sticks to grill.

Seeing this, the livestream room called him an expert.

"666, what a meal."

"lamb kidneys with oysters is like the Golden Cudgel wearing an Iron Man suit."

"Hahaha, Great God Lu Fan, don't over-nourish yourself."

At this time, some young people expressed that they didn't need these things.

"Do young people still need nourishing? If they do, how can they be called young?"

"Youngster upstairs, you'll understand once you're married."

"Right, once you're married, you'll find that oysters and lamb kidneys are a man's best tonic—super nourishing!!"
