Chapter 2728 The Difficulty of Refining the Fish Feast Mirror
Hearing what Xia Duo said, Niya nodded with confidence, and then happily accepted the gift. After that, the two chatted for a few more words, and the fish feast began to be passed around.

Because there were so many fish caught in the past two days, not only the quantity, but also the variety. This time, the fish feast prepared by Chef Cook for Chateau used as many as twelve kinds of fish.

The first thing served was a dish of raw pickled fish skin. Cook specially photographed an apprentice to introduce it to the couple, "This dish is made from the midbelly skin of four-year-old white-scaled fish, which has been carefully processed through more than ten processes." .”

"This--"

Xia Duo's first reaction was a little hesitant. Speaking of how to make raw pickled fish skin, he told Cook, but he never liked eating raw. Even if it was extremely delicious jump beast meat that could be eaten raw, he almost never ate it. Overlived.

And even in his hometown, he had only heard that fish skin could be eaten raw, but he had never tasted it. He thought that Cook's description of how to make this dish was more for the purpose of enriching Daxia's delicacies. , not really wanting to try it myself.

However, Xia Duo hesitated, but Niya did not have any psychological burden. Cook had never let her down in the past, and she believed that he would not let her down today, let alone this was the first course.

If the first dish fails, it will destroy all the reputation Cook has built in the past.

So Niya put down her chopsticks with confidence, while Xia Duo held her chopsticks and watched, mainly to see Niya's expression. When she saw Niya frowning, Xia Duo also felt nervous.

Then he saw Niya's brows relax, and Xia Duo also comforted himself in his heart. Cook should have practiced this dish many times before making it, so it shouldn't be too outrageous.

"How is it?" Xia Duo asked.

"It's sour and delicious. There's no fishy smell at all. Try it!"

After Niya finished speaking, she stretched out her chopsticks. Xia Duo relaxed a little when he saw this. He knew that Niya didn't like eating sour food, so he could make her say "it's sour and delicious." , that should be good.

So, Xia Duo no longer hesitated and took a piece and put it in his mouth. The first impression was indeed sour, but after the sourness, there were distinct layers of sweetness, freshness, and saltiness. The taste was still good, and there was no fishy smell at all.

But the taste was not that good. Even the younger fish skin was tough to chew. Thinking that it was sashimi, Xia Duo quickly gave up his thoughts and swallowed it in one gulp.

If he was asked to comment on this dish, if he was really hungry and had nothing to eat, he could take a bite, but if there was a bite of anything else, he would not want to try it again.

Fortunately, this is not a restaurant, but a meal at home. There is no need to finish one dish before serving the next. Instead, after the banquet, cold dishes are served first, and then hot dishes are served one after another.

There were four cold dishes in total, two of which were fish, one was vegetables, one was fruit, raw fish skin and raw fish meat. Xia Duo basically didn't touch it, but Niya ate it happily.

Xia Duo liked the hot dishes after that. They were all prepared with fish in various ways, basically fried, grilled, stewed and fried. Among them, his favorite dish was the braised golden scales.

This should be a newly developed method, because before today, Xia Duo had never eaten a few golden salmon, and that fish was really rare.

Of course, the main reason is that he didn't deliberately look for it. For example, there must be no shortage of it in Sevington, and you can buy it from Sevington.

The few times he had golden salmon, Cook cooked it for him on the barbecue. The taste was indeed more outstanding than the common fish, but it did not widen the quality gap. It was mainly a matter of scarcity.

But today, what Cook cooked for him was a braised dish. I guess it was because the fish catch in the past two days was so rich that there were enough golden salmon for Cook to practice.

Chateau feels that golden scale salmon is more delicious braised than grilled, but the best way is to steam it. However, considering that there are only two days to prepare, it is understandable that Cook chooses a safer cooking method.

...After dinner, Xia Duo told Cook's apprentice about his and Niya's taste opinions. Afterwards, the two went to the elemental fountain where the fish had become visibly thinner, and then returned to the Tower of Time to rest.

Of course, it’s not common sense for Niya to try on glass slippers after she returns.

……

the next day.

Xia Duo came to the laboratory early, but today, he was not rushing to study the jade tablets, but was preparing to use the power of order to refine the mirror of light.

The research on the jade tablet is currently mainly about measurement and recording, and it will not have much impact if it goes back a little bit. However, the refining of the Guangming Mirror cannot be delayed for too long and needs to be completed within three days.

If it cannot be completed, you need to go through the process again from the beginning.

He realized that there must be someone in this world who would never be able to refine the Mirror of Light, and he hoped that he was not that person!

Taking out a chair and placing it in the experimental area, Xia Duo lay on the back of the chair, holding the body of the shining mirror in both hands, and then imitated the previous process of refining the jade tablet.

While maintaining the idea of ​​refining in his mind, he controlled the power of order to approach the mirror of light.

But after just his initial attempt, he realized that although he was not necessarily someone who would never be able to refine the mirror, there was a high probability that he would not be able to complete the refining in this refining cycle.

In the past, he could successfully refine the identity card after several attempts. On the one hand, the identity of "Fangwai Sanren" is not uncommon. For people in the Eastern world, it should not be difficult to refine such an identity card.

But the Guangming Mirror is obviously not like this. How can the rare treasures hidden deep in the palace be easily refined?
On the other hand, it is more critical, because the order cycle he possesses contains the power of identity order, and this power of order just fits the identity card.

In essence, what Sha Duo thinks of refining is actually "forcing" refining through his own understanding, rather than the normal refining process of people in the Eastern world.

Although he had obtained the refining method of the Light Mirror before, the refining of merit mentioned in the refining method was understood by him as the refining of the power of order. This should not be a big problem.

But what kind of power of order is used to refine it?

He guessed that the merit of the Eastern world is essentially the power of order, but it should be a more general power of order, or a power of order specially developed as a special currency.

There is a high probability that he just randomly picked up the power of order and hit it right.

Moreover, as the master of Daxia Order with him as the core, Xia Duo is very clear about the difference between the power of order and the power of order. He can drive the power of order within his order cycle.

But if the power of order is not within his order cycle, he is completely unable to control it, because it is part of someone else's order cycle. If he can control it, then what is the order cycle he masters?

Based on this, Xia Duocai speculated that in the mature power of order system in the Eastern world, there should be a power of order that serves as a universal currency.

In other words, the Lord of Order can transform the power of order he possesses into a universal version that can be used by others.
