The Primordial Demon Cultivation Record of Tivat Continent

Since he also understands the knowledge related to cooking, Noelle is also very curious about the bold practice of using beer instead of water for cooking. "Xia Yu, why does the slightly bitter taste of beer still make them compete so fiercely when they taste the duck meat?" After asking Xia Yu, Xiang Ling, who was also curious about this topic, was also stunned by what this meant to her. Unexplainable questions attract attention.

Not only did the duck meat not taste bitter, the combination of the fermented malt aroma and the double spicy taste of dry and slightly sour and spicy actually made the taste of the duck meat more mellow.In addition, the processing of the duck meat is also quite in place, even if you chew slowly, you can taste all the juice attached to the meat, and the remaining duck meat in the mouth does not taste a little fishy.

"This will involve some special ways of using light bitterness." As if to confirm whether there are some items in this world, Xia Yu asked Xiangling who was looking at him: "Xiangling, Liyue's side Is there Baizhi, a Chinese herbal medicine?"

"Baizhi?" It seemed that some bad memories had been brought back, and Xiang Ling, who was still in a daze, nodded. "You can buy this medicinal material from Bubulu, but the bitterness of this medicinal material after being made into dry tablets is too strong..." Although he didn't say it to the end, it was just the embarrassment on Xiangling's face. It can be seen from the look that this little cook has definitely tasted it.

"But the bitter taste of Angelica is the best deodorant material for the unique fishy smell of duck meat. As long as the amount used is strictly controlled, the fishy smell of duck meat can be suppressed to be similar to this beer duck. degree."

"Similarly, when the beer is brewed, the crushed malt and wheat bran will produce a similar slightly bitter smell in the process of saccharification and subsequent fermentation, which is somewhat different from the simple bitterness. The aroma of malt can also make ducks The meat becomes more delicious." Considering that he didn't know how to explain to Xiangling that 'monosodium glutamate', a way of bringing umami to the condiment mainly based on sodium glutamate, Xia Yu had to simply pass it over.

"Oh, why don't you guys comment on that crucian carp soup? It's so delicious!" Although he couldn't understand the conversation between the chefs, Dulav still brought out the fish soup he fell in love with instantly. At the same time, Dulav looked at Xia Yu with gratitude.

Relying on the opportunity of tasting the cooking to let Brock and Xiangling have a cooking showdown, if Brock wins, then Xiangling will not only add Brock's proud cuisine to the menu of Wanmintang, but also have to serve Qingquan Town's food. High-quality meat for advocacy work.

The source of all good things is this guy whose cooking skills are so high that Du Laf's gaze towards Xia Yu became more and more pleasing to the eye. Ralph has already given a passing evaluation in his mind.

It's all up to you, Brock!

Chapter 47 Ying: I have to find a way to increase his favorability

With nothing to do, Xia Yu, who had planned to wait for the marinated barbecue pork meat, changed his mind after thinking for a while.

Unexpectedly, Xiangling's reputation spread to Qingquan Town!In this case, how strong will Xiangling's cooking talent be?What makes Xia Yu even more interested is that Xiangling herself has said that what she likes most is to add all kinds of good ideas to her cooking when she creates cooking.

You must know that the exploration of new dishes is not so simple. Even if you don’t consider the warmth and coldness of food, the most basic taboos of mixing ingredients must be remembered.Secondly, the cooking method selected, the characteristics of each ingredient, and the choice of seasonings all have certain particulars.

If you want to create new dishes, the accumulation of experience brought by time is essential.Even Xia Yu can't pat his chest and say that he can directly make the food he needs when he gets the new variety of raw materials, so how does Xiangling do it?

"Can I go with you to see the selection process of raw materials?" Xia Yu, who was very curious about the creation process of Xiangling's materials, opened his mouth and saw the other party's expression. He was overjoyed, and then he seemed to think of something, and his face was a little embarrassed. Xiangling turned her attention to the pork being pickled on Xia Yu's console.Although Xiangling hadn't spoken yet, Xia Yu already knew what the other party was worried about.

"Don't worry, the meat of this dish originally had to wait at least a day in a low temperature environment for it to fully taste after being marinated, so even if I want to cook it now, the dishes I make are only It will be a defective product. It's just..."

For the barbecued pork to be delicious, the time to marinate the sauce must be sufficient.That being said, in today's climate, waiting a few hours does degrade the quality of the meat.

Although it is possible to tell Noelle the detailed production method and let her help him with the final roasting after entering the oven and the process of brushing the surface of the syrup, but

"Although leave it to me." Seemingly aware of what Xia Yu's slightly embarrassed expression was worrying about, Noelle who was on the side picked up the conversation and saw that Xia Yu's attention turned to himself, Noelle He smiled and said, "I'll go back and bring Bingying over first. If you have three of them to cool the bowl, it should be able to meet your needs, Xia Yu."

"Well, then please Noelle."

This...?The conversation between Xia Yu and Noelle caught Ying's attention.

If you want to ask Ying what she is most envious of these days, it must be the monster in Xia Yu's small courtyard.Those are monsters that don't attack people like pets!More importantly, these monsters seemed to understand human language. Whenever Noelle and Xia Yu gave them simple orders or interacted with them, all these monsters would obey them obediently.

As for myself, although I haven't been able to reach the level of Xia Yu and Noelle, I can easily touch these monsters who see me in the wild like seeing their mortal enemies.After listening to the conversation between Xia Yu and Noelle, a bold guess appeared in Ying's mind:

As long as I can gradually get along with Xia Yu gradually, I will be able to interact with these monsters easily!

Think about it on a hot summer night, if you can hold a cool water slime when you sleep, let the frozen tree send some air-conditioning into your room through the window, and put a heat-emitting slime in the house in winter. Fire Slime and Wind Slime, such a small day is absolutely perfect!

The most important thing is that the monsters around Xia Yu are still growing. You must know that he and his brother are travelers who have experienced many worlds. Whether it is brain hole or understanding of various things, they are definitely stronger than most. people.Maybe there will be some practical magical combinations for the monsters that Xia Yu has conquered in the future?

In short, the most important task at this stage is to have a good relationship with Xia Yu, that's right!

And now is an excellent opportunity: the maid who is with Xia Yu needs to return to Xia Yu's house in Mond City, because Xia Yu and Xiang Ling are going to observe the process of Xiang Ling's search for ingredients, that is to say, the position is the apprentice knight's The maid is out!

Although the journey from Qingquan Town to Mond City is not long, the road to the main gate of Mond City has not been very safe recently because of the Wind Demon Dragon and the Abyss Church.

Xia Yu, who can suppress the aggressiveness of monsters, is not there, which means that the maid will be attacked by monsters, and Noelle is an apprentice knight, and his fighting ability is definitely not as strong as himself. Isn't this an opportunity for him to have a good relationship with the two? ?

"Do you need my help to escort?" Ying, who was inexplicably excited, confused Noelle.

Although Commander Tingqin mentioned that the Knights of Honor are very strong and are the main force to drive the Wind Demon Dragon away from Mond City, there is no monster that can threaten him just from Qingquan Town to Mond City.

"It's alright, honorary knight, just the monsters on the road can't beat me." Noelle explained to Ying with a smile, as if to enhance the persuasiveness of his words. The heavy two-handed epee was drawn out.Noelle, who was holding a two-handed epee almost as tall as her, effortlessly froze Ying in place.

This is a two-handed epee!The thick hilt and body of the sword can even be seen. The blacksmith who made it also thickened these parts. The purpose of this is to prevent the sword from being damaged due to improper use.

Compared with other weapons, the two-handed epee can slash vertically, and it can also be used as a stick weapon to strike the enemy with a blunt weapon.Although it can be a bit of a hassle to train, the two-handed epee has always been a popular weapon for people of great strength.

The damage to the weapon is nothing more than the following: the quality of the weapon is deteriorated due to the lack of maintenance, the weapon is damaged due to excessive force, and the blacksmith who makes the weapon is not skilled enough.

Ying Ying, the professional blacksmith in Mond City, still knows how excellent his craftsmanship is. During this time, Ying has been entrusting this blacksmith to help with the crafting of utensils or the smelting of ore.And this two-handed epee, which seems to be well maintained, can't be the first case no matter how you think about it...

In other words, this weapon, which even felt difficult to lift, was not heavy enough in Noelle's hands! ?I felt like I was looking at a human-shaped rock helmet Qiuqiu King's Ying, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Ah... Excuse me.

————————————————————————

Walking along the small road in the south of Qingquan Town to the river bank, after crossing the river beach, Xia Yu admired Xiangling who walked with a very purposeful way.It seems that Xiangling is quite reliable. After agreeing with Brock for a meat test, he has already determined where to find his ingredients.

Since his physical fitness has improved to the point where he doesn't even know how to describe it, Xia Yu didn't feel tired when he followed Xiangling and Ying along the way.However, compared to Xiangling and her peers, Ying and Paimon, what attracted Xia Yu's attention the most was that chubby Guoba.

The fluffy short legs of the round guoba can keep up with the speed of his own line!How did the little fat legs that flipped over and almost appeared afterimages do it?After Xiangling stopped, Xia Yu, who squatted down, looked at Guoba with big round eyes.

"Guoba...Aren't you tired of running like this?"

"Lu?"

Just when Xia Yu communicated with Guoba, Xiangling also started her action.

"Well...it should be here." Looking around Xiangling, who was looking for ingredients, aroused Ying's curiosity. You must know that there are also a large number of ingredients producing places around Qingquan Town, and the current location is really There is a distance from Qingquan Town.

After all the time spent going back and forth was counted, there was less than an hour left for Xiang Ling to find the ingredients.In addition to the need for hunting, only those who are extremely familiar with the dishes to be cooked in their hearts dare to do so.

So, what exactly is Xiangling planning to do? "Xiangling, can you tell me the recipe you've thought of? I'll help you find the ingredients together." Ying, who asked Xiangling, found that the little cook smiled very freely.

"I didn't think about the recipe at all~" Xiang Ling, who threw the bomb, not only stunned Ying, who stared at her, but also frightened Xia Yu, who was observing the pot rice.

"No...Xiangling, you really didn't think about it at all?" Xia Yu didn't know what to say due to the severe situation.

Although Xia Yu didn't have much opinion on Dulav's desire to expand the meat sales in Qingquan Town, the bet between Xiangling and Brock was full of gunpowder.

One is to make the other party admit his cooking style and add his own cooking to the meat promotion in Qingquan Town.The other is to add his own specialty dish to the menu of Wanmintang, and also to note that this is his masterpiece.

If the behavior of the two of them is described in the way that the Kendokan kicks the hall, it has been serious and officially arrived, 'I will slash a knife horizontally on the plaque of the Kendo Hall inherited from your family, and then engrave my name on the side! 'At such a level, Xiangling actually said that she hasn't started thinking yet? ? ?

Compared to Xia Yu and Ying who no longer knew what to say, Xiang Ling, who was the party involved, looked relaxed.

"Don't worry, when you see the ingredients you want, collect them first, and then slowly consider how the dishes you need are reflected, and finally decide on the recipes. Because I do this every time I create dishes, I don't There will be a problem~" Xiang Ling, who was extremely optimistic in her mentality, even gave her a thumbs up.

This...

Compared to Ying, who had already begun to doubt his life, Xia Yu had a general understanding of what Xiang Ling was doing.

There is indeed such a special group of chefs. What they do when they cook depends on their mood, but the dishes they cook do taste quite good.

If this method is to be classified, it can be classified into the action group with rich cooking experience. After seeing the ingredients they like, they will automatically associate other ingredients and how to cook in their minds. This is the An instinct-like response to experience.

But the current situation is different from the original world where you can buy all kinds of ingredients in supermarkets. Wild hunting and gathering are destined to be full of randomness. Even a seasoned hunter will not go into the mountains before hunting. Dare to say what I will catch this time up the mountain.

Luck accounts for most of the possibility of what kind of dishes can be served in the end. At the same time, the various situations brought about by uncertainty also increase the various situations that need to be considered when matching ingredients.Walking along the river to the position where the road was opened up at the foot of the mountain, the lotus pod in the small lake first caught the attention of Xiangling.

"Look, there are a lot of lotus pods there! They are all so fresh, and the quality of the lotus seeds inside is quite good!" Xiang Ling, with her eyes shining, ran directly to Xiaohu, and took out the three most satisfying lotus pods and put them in After picking up the raw material pocket, a satisfied smile appeared on Xiangling's face.

Are lotus seeds paired with meat... Xia Yu, who was speculating, nodded.If it is made into a stew, lotus seeds are a good choice.Lotus seeds, which have a certain medicinal effect, can play a role in nourishing the heart and soothing the mind. They are often presented in the form of stew or dessert when eaten on weekdays.I don't know how Xiangling will match it?

Along the mountain road all the way up, judging from the happy appearance of Xiangling who is constantly collecting various raw materials, the girl seems to be enjoying the current process.But nearly half an hour has passed. Including the return journey, the time left for Xiang Ling to slowly find the ingredients is about to end, but so far, the meat as the protagonist in the dishes has still not been seen.

"Xiangling, we don't have much time left for the search." Xia Yu reminded Xiangling that the other party didn't seem to listen, and Xiangling, who was staring at the cloudless pepper on the cliff on the top of the mountain, seemed to be watching. I also plan to go to the top of the mountain to pick Jueyun peppers.

That's all... Just let her go. Since she has been through so many ups and downs on the road of cooking and still insists on such a practice, how can she forcefully correct the other's thoughts?Sure enough, after coming to the cliff at the top of the mountain, Xiangling, while harvesting Jueyun peppers, spread the knowledge of Jueyun peppers to herself and Ying.

"This is Jueyun pepper. You can find traces of them in most areas of Liyue. As a commonly used spicy flavoring agent, Jueyun pepper has a very strong spiciness."

"Jueyun pepper will produce different flavors according to the different growth locations. For example, the Jueyun pepper on the top of the mountain has less water vapor than the valley bottom, so the Jueyun pepper will have a heavier dry and spicy taste.. ." Xiangling in the explanation made Ying couldn't help it.

"Xiangling, we have less than 15 minutes left. Where's the meat? What about the meat that is the protagonist of the dish?" Ying, who complained softly to Xiangling, didn't look very good. "How can you make meat dishes without meat?"

"Don't worry about this, I have basically found all the ingredients for cooking. What I still lack now is a raw material that can make the cooking feel 'crack'."

"And when I was observing just now, I have already found a suitable location, and I will definitely gain something from going there!" As if to comfort Ying, who was a little runaway, Xiangling pointed to the low-lying place in the valley below, which was different from the warm environment around him. , the cold valley and the large ice sculptures at Taniguchi caught Xia Yu's attention.

No...that doesn't seem to be an ice sculpture, but a person!

Chapter 48 Xia Yu: I picked up an ancestor for you (doge)

A human being frozen in ice!Although it feels that the possibility of him surviving is very small, it is still necessary to rescue him.

"Ying, Xiangling, look there!" Xia Yu, who pointed to the ice sculpture, led the two of them to look away quickly. When they discovered the frozen figure, the expressions of the two who were on the outing also changed. Much more serious.

"I'll go down first and save people from the ice pile. Xia Yu, Xiangling, I'll trouble you to come down and light some firewood on the way!" Before Xia Yu and Xiangling could answer, Ying, who quickly completed the division of labor, jumped off After reaching the cliff, the blond girl who was able to use the wings of wind gracefully spread her wings in mid-air and landed next to the ice with ease.

After looking around, the girl's eyes first stayed on the ice mist flower that was constantly emitting cold air. After guiding the wind element force to blow away a lot of cold air and ice attribute elements, her eyes became awe-inspiring and turned towards the ice fog. The stem of the flower raised a one-handed sword.

"Hey? Wait for me! Just let Guoba do the work of melting the ice and removing the ice mist flower!" Xiangling yelled loudly on the cliff to stop Ying from moving further, hugged her and didn't know what happened. The crispy Xiangling also jumped off the cliff at a height of at least 40 meters, and Xia Yu, who was standing on the cliff, was extremely envious of the wind wings that glide easily in mid-air.

Ah... It's the Wings of the Wind again. I thought I wouldn't use this kind of props that I only use when I need to go on an adventure, but now it seems to be a must-have... I will use it when I have time. You must learn how to use Wind Wings.

In the process of turning back and running down the cliff, Xia Yu, who did not forget to collect some dead branches from the ground, quickly joined Ying and Xiangling. Judging from his trembling body and pale complexion in a coma, the about 34-year-old man who was rescued had already suffered from hypothermia.

"Xia Yu, give me the firewood." Xiangling, who snatched the dead branches from Xia Yu's hands, quickly piled up the wooden branches. After successfully lighting the fire with the help of Guoba, she took out the incense sticks that she carried with her. Ling hit the white radish pulled along the way.

On the other side, Ying, who dragged the half-conscious man to the bonfire, carefully checked his bad complexion. After confirming it for about half a minute, Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's okay, although the state is extremely bad, but my life should be saved." The relaxed Ying sat on the stone next to him, staring blankly at the small iron pot being double heated by the pot and the bonfire. The blonde girl didn't know what to think, but fell into deep thought for a while.

The news that could be considered good news also made Xia Yu heave a sigh of relief. Although Xiang Ling's cooking competition should not be able to catch up due to such a busy schedule, the joy of being able to save a life is still a mystery to Xia Yu himself. something to be happy about.

In particular, the middle-aged man's clothing looks so familiar... The more he observed, the more uncomfortable Xia Yu was when he saw the cat ears on the middle-aged man's head.Isn't this the blood of the Katzlein family! ?

The familiar leather clothing looks exactly like the hunter's clothing. Although it is slightly different from the hunters' clothing in Qingquan Town, the overall difference is not too big.Could it be that this half-conscious middle-aged man is Mr. Duraff's brother?

The boiled water in the pot has already started to churn. After scooping up a bowl and using the remaining ice residue to surround the bottom of the bowl to cool down, Xia Yu helped the middle-aged man up and leaned against his own. body.Afterwards, Ying, who picked up the small bowl on the side, propped up the man's chin with his hand and carefully poured the hot water that had been lowered to drinkable temperature with a small spoon into his mouth.

A few minutes later, the middle-aged man who was rescued finally regained consciousness, and he looked extremely haggard when he opened his eyes. "I... I am?" The weak and hoarse voice of the middle-aged man who tried his best to speak could be extinguished at any time like a candle in the wind.

After seeing the small bowl that Ying handed over, he took the bottom of the bowl with both hands. He first warmed his hands, which seemed to be numb for a while, then lifted the bowl tremblingly and drank some hot water in small sips. After that, the middle-aged man's complexion finally eased.

After trying his best to support his body and sit up, he looked at the clear water radish soup in the pot that had already begun to churn. No matter how bland it seemed, it was still the best delicacy for a middle-aged man. He took the delivery from Xiangling. After the spoon came, I couldn't take care of the sliced ​​radish that was just out of the pot.

"Hey~ I feel much better, I'm Olaf, the hunter of Qingquan Town, thank you...Thank you." Olaf, who tried his best to stand up, bowed to the three of Xia Yu, and then quickly sat on the ground due to lack of energy.

"I'm sorry, I made you laugh. I originally came to this valley because of hunting and chasing wild boars. After I ran into the cave with the wild boars, the inexplicable sense of crisis made me turn my head and run back, but I didn't expect Still a step slower, I lost consciousness after feeling the cold all over..."

"Huh? Wasn't it frozen by the Frozen Mist Flower... woo!" Curious Paimon felt a pain in the top of his head, the little guy covering his head with his hands turned his head and looked at him with dissatisfied eyes. Ying, who put down his knife, complained in a low voice, "I'm just making a joke to brighten the atmosphere~ How could a professional hunter not be able to identify Bingwuhua!"

Perhaps because of the complete lifting of the crisis, everyone's tense nerves were finally relaxed.Xiangling, who was still thinking about things related to the ingredients, seemed to remember something, turned her eyes to Olaf, and she asked, "Mr. Olaf, you just said that you chased a wild boar into the valley. ,Right?"

"That's right." After nodding, Olaf seemed to be aware of Xiang Ling's thoughts. "Little girl, don't you want to enter the valley? It's too dangerous! I have already run so far and have been frozen into ice cubes. There must be extremely dangerous monsters in the valley..."

"Don't worry, after so many years of wandering outside, there are definitely a lot of monsters that I and Guoba have cleaned up. Moreover, the wild boar that was frozen in an instant, I really want to try it to see what it tastes like."
