[Deep-Sea Octopus (purple): a harvest from the ocean, material, Ingredients, can be disassembled]
Ye Fei looked at the octopus carcass he had taken out and placed in the pit before him, almost filling it, and felt dejected all over again.
So was he really the only poor one?
Why was a casual gift, supposedly a fish caught while chatting, something this big...?
"Yip?"
Little Fox ran over and looked at the slimy creature's carcass in the pit. After circling the pit in the yard a few times out of curiosity, Little Fox confirmed that this was something unfamiliar.
"This is an octopus, and a deep-sea one at that. It looks like it should be pretty ordinary, but how we're going to cook it is a problem..."
Ye Fei had never cooked seafood, but he thought he could approach it differently and just treat it like meat.
Once it was ready, he could send a portion to that Sea Monster too. After all, the ingredients had come from them.
"Awoo?"
Little White Tiger smelled something different and came over with Puppy, who was tired from running laps.
"It's fine, just some ingredients. I'll go set up some new dishes!"
Ye Fei grabbed an octopus tentacle, raised his knife, and sliced it off, then went to the Gourmet Crafting Bench to start adjusting the settings.
Washing was the first step in preparing ingredients, so dragging it a few steps would not cause any problems with getting it dirty.
After setting up dicing, slicing, mincing, cutting into strips, shredding, and other methods, Ye Fei processed one octopus tentacle, then went back and chopped off the rest.
He could actually have used the Dedicated Disassembly Knife, but he felt that he had never tried this thing before, and he was not busy
