Otherworldly Pastry Chef

Bai Guo's attention was quickly attracted by the two plants brought back by Hei Xiao.One of them, in particular, looks red all over and smells strongly of jasmine tea.This surprised Ginkgo, who was about to run out of tea in Liangyihuan.

"What's this? It smells so good! It's like the jasmine tea I brought, isn't it?" Picking up one of them, the ginkgo was sniffed again and again under his nose.

Hei Xiao replied: "This is called spring tea grass. It grows except in winter, but they grow in places where there are third-level monsters, so they have to enter the depths of the rock eucalyptus forest. But spring tea grass is a second-level mana plant, and its spiritual power There shouldn’t be too many sheep.”

Bai Guo shook his head: "No. Plants and animals are different. Even if they all contain spiritual power, the purity is also different. Although the weight of these plants is not as large as that of animals, because the volume is far apart, their purity is very high. You also judge the level according to the amount of mana, right?"

Hei Xiao nodded: "Yes. That's how the ancestors passed it down."

Bai Guo said: "That's right. Similarly, if such a big animal and such a small grass have almost the same energy, the smaller one is more pure!"

Hei Xiao smiled: "That's the reason. Then these two plants are better, right?"

"That's right!" Bai Guo was really hooked by the smell of the spring tea grass, couldn't help but pinched a piece of leaf tip and put it in his mouth.Chew lightly, a strong fragrance of scented tea overflows the mouth, the most important thing is that the spring tea grass is sweet, it is the kind of faint sweetness that belongs to nectar, it is delicious!

"Wow! Hei Xiao Hei Xiao, this one is very delicious!" He said as he pinched off the remaining leaf, wiped it and brought it to Hei Xiao's mouth.

Everyone knows that spring tea grass has a fragrance, but very few people would eat it alone. First, because the second-level mana potion ingredients can already be exchanged for several times the price of ordinary fruits and vegetables. Second, they like to eat raw There are not many people in the leaves of grass, so Hei Xiao has never tasted the taste of spring tea grass.But this leaf really has a different fragrance, not too different from the jasmine tea brought by ginkgo.

"It's really similar, and it's very fragrant. What can I do with this?"

Ginkgo blinked with big eyes: "You can make a lot of things! This leaf doesn't have many tendons, so it should be easy to knead with the dough to make dough. I'm going to knead the dough now, maybe two plants will do. The rest Can you help plant these in the yard? I think it’s much more convenient and difficult to plant than go to the deep forest to pick them all the time. Why don’t you plant them?”

Hei Xiao answered him: "Because the mana of the mana plants planted will decrease a lot, and even become ordinary plants without mana energy. That's why people only grow ordinary vegetables, fruits and food. The big witch said that mana plants It is a gift from the beast god and heaven and earth, and it can only grow where the gods bestow it. Anyway, there is no way to transplant many. But it doesn’t matter if it’s dug up and planted in the yard when it’s mature, it’s just that it’s impossible to reproduce.”

Bai Guo thought for a while and nodded: "That's right, because there are only some special places between heaven and earth that can gather spiritual energy. Many cultivators will choose such places to build their mansions, and then practice in them. It will do more with less. I think these mana plants have the same meaning."

Ginkgo cut off the roots of the two grasses completely, and then carefully planted them under the window root. If he has no other skills, he can still gather some spiritual energy in the palm of his hand with formulas, and then he tries to inject the spiritual energy into these two plants. On the grass roots, although he didn't know if it had any effect, he could feel that the grass roots of the two grasses hadn't died yet, and they had caught the aura.If he was not mistaken, the roots of these two grasses should grow new stems and leaves.

Seeing Guozi chattering under the window, Hei Xiao didn't bother, but helped wash the fish by the well first, and then planned to deal with the sheep.Bai Guo said that at night, he would use his strength to cook the lamb chops and eat them. He also looked forward to eating these foods with more spiritual power, so that the little rabbit could recover faster.At the same time, he still thought unkindly, he always had to wait for the fruit to recover before trying to see if there would be such sequelae every time, and he always felt that it was not a problem all the time!

The spring tea grass was cut into small pieces by the ginkgo fruit, and the sap coming out of the grass stem is also red, but it is not sticky, but the aroma is more intense in this way.Ginkgo couldn't help but scooped a bowl of boiling water from the big clay pot on the stove, and then put two ends of spring tea grass stems into it.Soon a bowl of water will become the color, but the color is not strong, slightly pinkish, very beautiful.It's a pity that the water was too hot, and Gingo didn't dare to drink something that was too hot, so she put the bowl of spring tea grass water aside and covered the plate, and continued to make spring tea honey rolls.

As Ginkgo expected, the spring tea grass does not have much fiber, and when kneaded with flour, it quickly fell apart.The dough also began to turn a beautiful pink color gradually, and it smelled very good.

Because it uses magical plants, Ginkgo wants to make the food as simple as possible, so that it may be possible to make food that retains the most original flavor.So the Chunming dense roll he made is to ferment the dough made of spring tea grass and flour, roll it into a dough cake as thick as chopsticks, and then smear thicker diluted honey on the dough, and then re-roll Get up, and finally steam it in the pan.

An hour later, the pink and white spring tea honey rolls are ready.The moment the pot was uncovered, it could be said that the aroma of tea was overflowing, and ginkgo could clearly feel that the aura of the spring tea and honey rolls that had been prepared was still there, and it did not dissipate because of the chopping and mixing with flour, which was very satisfying Surprise!

Seeing that Guozi ran up to him holding a pink rolled steamed bun, and brought the fragrant steamed bun to his mouth, Hei Xiao took a big bite before he had time to ask anything.

People who have practiced are more sensitive to spiritual power, and Hei Xiao can instantly feel the interaction between this spiritual power and himself.In the words of the beast world, it means that the magic power in the food has penetrated into itself and will become its own reserve.

"It tastes good, and what's even better is that I can feel the supply of magic power. Have you tried it? Does it work?"

Bai Guo shook his head: "Not yet. I just wanted to give you a try first." After speaking, he put the remaining half of Hei Xiao into his mouth, took a bite, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Seeing Guozi's bulging cheeks chewing on something in his mouth, Hei Xiao was really itchy.Yesterday he explained to Bai Guo thoroughly what to do between husband and wife, and he made up again, now he will be a little unbearable when he sees Bai Guo.It's just that he couldn't bear to let the little guy look listless.

"How about it?"

Ginkgo opened his eyes: "It's delicious! Although it has the same texture as steamed buns, it tastes really good! I used scented tea powder to make desserts, and the green ones are also very beautiful, but if you put too much tea, it will have a bitter taste. But this one is different, it is sweet in itself, so I put in two plants to make the taste stronger. Next time, you can put in half the amount."

Hei Xiao was a little speechless: "I'm asking how your magic power is absorbed, and whether it can replenish the deficiencies in your body."

Only then did Bai Guo realize: "Oh! This is very useful. Although it is not as good as absorbing the potion directly, you can still taste the taste. I think it's still good, what do you think?"

Hei Xiao nodded: "Of course it's good if you think it's good."

Bai Guo was very satisfied: "Hey. Then don't rush to clean up the rest of these parts. I'm making the second pot now. You give half of this pot to Wu Hua and Uncle Xin. Thank you Uncle for being with me today. I go fishing. You divide the other half into two, one for Mr. Hu and Mr. Huan, and one for the teacher’s house. Although the teacher is not at home, his family is the same. This is my first A snack made with real magic power materials must be sent to the teacher."

Bai Guo's arrangements were in place, and it didn't even take until the next day. Not long after Hei Xiao came back, Mr. Hu came over in person.

Smelling the tempting smell of meat coming from the kitchen of Hei Xiao's house, he felt that it was really a coincidence that he came here, isn't it time for dinner.But because things surprised him so much, he rushed over without thinking about anything.

Seeing Wu Zhong, Bai Guo and Hei Xiao were very surprised.Bai Guo asked: "Grandpa Hu, do you have anything to tell us?"

Wu Zhong was a little embarrassed by his abruptness, but as an elder, after thinking about it carefully, he didn't think there was anything wrong.

"It's about the snack you asked Hei Xiao to send us."

Ginkgo said "Oh!": "I named it Chunming honey roll. It is made of Chunming grass. Hei Xiao also collected Jiafu leaves. I am using it to steam with Lijian sheep. Do you want it? Stay and taste?"

Wu Zhong was very surprised to hear that what Bai Guo said were all magical plants and monsters, so he looked at Hei Xiao: "Hei Xiao, did you go hunting on purpose?"

Hei Xiao nodded: "Yeah. Guozi felt that he didn't have much strength, so I got some materials back."

"You went to the eastern valley alone?! There may be higher-level monsters in that place at any time, how can you go alone!" At first, he really didn't know what ingredients were used in this snack, but he was sure. It is a mana material.There is a shop in the city that sells magic power materials. At first, he thought that Bai Guo and the others bought them.But if there are several kinds of prey and plants together, and they are all eaten, then it is absolutely impossible to buy them.It is indeed an incredible thing to be able to make such delicious food from mana materials.He knew that Beiming had already accepted Bai Guo as an apprentice, and he would openly accept this matter when Beiming came back from Tianxiao City, but before that, Bai Guo could make such a thing, he had to be shocked, so he hurried come over.Unexpectedly, it was Hei Xiao who came back from gathering and hunting today!

Hei Xiao looked at Wu Zhong: "I'm sorry to make you worry. But I was very careful, and it was only on the edge. The Lijian sheep was a lost lamb, so I got it very quickly. I didn't come into contact with any dangerous monsters. .But I will tell you about such things later.”

If it was someone else, Wu Zhong would definitely scold him severely, but for Hei Xiao, he would admit his mistake before he got angry and said he would not make it next time, but he didn't know how to say it.

"You have to do it! You are no longer alone now, you still have Bai Guo to take care of, and you don't want him to be sad if you have an accident, do you?"

Hei Xiao continued to nod: "Yes. It won't happen in the future."

Seeing that Wu Zhong kept talking about Hei Xiao, Bai Guo blamed himself even more.

"Grandpa Hu, don't talk about Hei Xiao. I asked him to do it. My fault. In fact, I regretted it when he left."

Wu Zhong sighed: "Okay, he said that he will not be able to take any responsibility in the future. As a male, he should take care of females. He can't avoid the obvious risks and put himself in danger. It's his problem, it doesn't matter whether you ask him or not. A male must have the ability to judge independently."

Bai Guo pouted, Hei Xiao looked at it and wanted to laugh.To be honest, Guozi was the only one who argued for himself and defended himself after he was found to be abnormally gifted.

"Guozi, Grandpa Hu is right, it's my own problem."

"Alright then. But Mr. Hu, what did you want to say?" Seeing that the situation was not suitable for an excuse, Bai Guo thought it would be good to change the subject.

Only then did Wu Zhong remember his purpose for coming.

"It was almost distracted. That's it. After you eat this snack, you can absorb all the energy in the magic power ingredients into your body, which is almost the same as magic medicine. What special refining method did you use?"

Bai Guo shook his head: "No. I just put it in the noodles and kneaded it together to form a dough, which is the same as making ordinary ingredients. I asked the teacher before, and he said that if the magic power ingredients are edible, they can be eaten directly Absorbed."

Wu Zhong nodded: "That's true, but many people have tried to make food with those materials before, but the mana will be much lower, which is why no one has used mana materials to make food for sale for so long. The reason. But you did it!"

Don't say that Bai Guo doesn't know this, even Hei Xiao doesn't know.After all, in the perception of most people, no one would eat expensive mana materials.Selling or refining is the most formal way.But Mr. Hu said so, Bai Guo was a little surprised: "How could it be? The teacher said it is possible. He also said that my ideal should be called a magic pastry chef. If it is not possible, he will not encourage me, right?"

Wu Zhongdao: "Of course he will encourage you, you are the first apprentice he accepts. Your mana talent is the strongest among all the females he has ever seen. Even if he does not become a pharmacist, he will still be willing to use his skills Pass it on to you. After all, inheritance is very important, and if you don’t want to be a pharmacist, it has nothing to do with whether you learn how to do pharmacy. Since you didn’t use special techniques, can you let Xiaohua also do it tomorrow? Try? If he makes it the same as yours, it is very likely that individual ingredients can perfectly retain mana after being cooked. If not, it should be related to your mana talent."

Hei Xiao frowned suddenly: "Grandpa Hu, what if it's the latter?"

Wu Zhong looked at Hei Xiao, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "If that's the case, the fruit can get more and better, are you willing to protect him, or are you willing to let go?"

When Bai Guo heard it, he didn't wait for Hei Xiao to speak, and immediately grabbed the words: "Wait a minute, why did you let Hei Xiao let go? What will happen to me?"

Wu Zhong replied: "If only you can perfectly retain the magic power of the magic power materials, then the things you make, whether it is medicine or food, will be sought after by countless people. You will have more money and a higher status .So you can choose a stronger male to be by your side, not necessarily Black Howl."

Bai Guo stopped doing it immediately: "I don't want others! I want Hei Xiao! Besides, if I don't make it and give it to others, it's fine. Why should I change my life? I like the way I am now, I'm living a good life !"

Wu Zhong's originally serious face laughed out after seeing Bai Guo like this: "The best way is for you to get married as soon as possible."

Bai Guo nodded vigorously: "I want it, I want it. I promised Hei Xiao, and today, Uncle Xin, you said that you would help me prepare the wedding dress!"

Wu Zhong doesn't know this yet, but the two of them have the idea of ​​getting married, which is indeed a great thing.

"Well, after you get married, let's think about how to share such a good thing with more people without hindering your normal life."

Now Bai Guo is a little afraid of what Wu Zhong said.

"Is it really possible to have the best of both worlds?"

Wu Zhong smiled and said: "What I just said is just the most extreme possibility. Maybe others can make the same thing? What's more, even if only you can do it, as long as you two are officially together, others can't destroy your relationship. If you want to choose a quiet life, there is no problem."

Bai Guo frowned: "Then you were scaring me just now?"

Wu Zhonghao admitted without ambiguity.

"That's a little bit. I just want to confirm whether you two are really willing to sacrifice important things for each other. Such as money, or status. After all, you two haven't known each other for a long time. Once something else gets involved, I will I don't want to see you hurt each other."

Bai Guo let out a long sigh of relief: "I'm serious, this is really scary."
