"Cinnamon, ginger, cloves, amomum, white pepper..."
"Hmm, for the colored spices, we also need caramel, turmeric powder, chili powder, and red yeast rice."
Xia Yu bustled around the kitchen and first grabbed a flat pan, setting it on the stove and turning up the high heat.
Then, he took a can of solidified maltose and, without needing much, spun a little with his chopsticks in a threadlike manner, winding a circle before touching the chopsticks to the scalding pan, where the liquid caramel spread across the bottom with a sizzle.
As for the red yeast rice, it was soaked in hot water to extract just a bit of the red liquid, which was poured into a glass container, mixed with the caramel and other spices, all stirred together.
His hands moved extremely fast, and Cao Chun, Smith, and Lancelot only caught a glimpse.
