The epic story of green monsters

Chapter 704 Evaluation
  The dwarf Goblin Luwa rubbed his hands and played with the ingredients in front of him excitedly. Around him, there were dozens of fellow chefs who were as good as him, each of whom was actively preparing.

Although he was suddenly summoned this time, his small restaurant may not be open for a long time, and this month is considered a free time, but in Luwa's opinion, it is very worthwhile.

First of all, as a member of the 'God of Cookery Exchange Meeting', he was finally able to get in close contact with his great master of faith this time, which was a supreme honor for the dwarf.

At the same time, it is rare for top chefs like them in the tribe to have the opportunity to gather together like now. Everyone can compete and exchange cooking skills with each other, and at the same time, they can also come into contact with cooking recipes that no one has come across before.

Of course, as the best chefs, goblins like Ruwa also have their own pride, and they all think that their cooking skills are the best. It's just that in these years, everyone has not had the opportunity to compete again, so it is just right to take this opportunity to let them all compete.

"...Next, according to the voting rules, what everyone needs to cook is the 'Night' dish for the entry-level thief to advance and break through. The required ingredients are three pounds each of fresh shadow leopard blood and meat, as well as the auxiliary ingredients shadow flower and luminous grass. …”

"Everyone follows the current formation and comes up one by one to receive the ingredients..."

On the balcony on the second floor of the castle, Swara and Shen Zhuo, who were the hosts this time, calmly began to issue tasks and instructions to the fifty-three tribal chefs in the square below.

As his voice fell, the outstanding chefs selected by Ruwa and other tribes also moved forward and received the supplies prepared for them one after another.

Swara also took the opportunity to get some benefits this time. Although these low-level magic dishes can not give him much blessing as a legend, at least mosquitoes are still meat no matter how thin they are. Now the Earth Spirit Sword Dancer is focusing on improving his own strength. But I don’t dislike the changes that these low-level dishes have brought to me.

And as the difficulty of the formula increases, the required ingredients become more and more precious, and the effect of magical dishes has also been greatly improved. It cannot be said that it has no effect on the legendary powerhouse.

At least those dishes that permanently increase speed and flexibility allow Swara to more or less feel the changes and images they bring, which is no less effective than the effects of painstakingly practicing the basics for several months.

If the cooking continues like this, and better magic dishes are brought out for him to taste, the effect will inevitably be more impressive. However, the time spent on practicing on his own to host this group cooking was not wasted.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but almost half of the mature recipes that have been preserved in the tribe are dishes related to permanently blessing certain characteristics. Among them, many of the dishes in the middle and low stages are sustainable and long-term changes in certain aspects of the individual's characteristics, rather than the legendary dishes that Allen cooked for Figueras, many of which can only be used for the first time. The effect will be noticeable only once. Even if subsequent dishes with the same formula still have some effects, they will not be as significant as the first time.

On the contrary, most of the recipes eliminated by tribal chefs are to strengthen certain characteristics in a short period of time. When cooking, it often tests the quality of the ingredients and the skills of the chefs. The ups and downs are far greater than those of mature cooking recipes. Much larger.

These are also some of the rules that a group of chefs and Alan came up with during this period of discussion and research.

This is not to say that those eliminated formulas really have no effect, but the dishes cooked with such formulas are more used in adventures, and for chefs, they may rarely be like Allen, who personally Involved in danger.

And without the popularity of dimensional bags, which adventurer would bring these ready-made cooked foods with him on adventures and gnaw on them during battles?

Moreover, the best time to eat magic dishes is when they are freshly baked. Unless there is a dimensional bag or a specially sealed magic box for preservation, the longer the finished dishes are kept with you, the worse the effect will be.

Of course, magic dishes also have their advantages, that is, the special effects of blessings are stable and long-lasting, usually calculated in days, and they will not be dispelled by dispelling magic. Compared with potions, magic and divine magic, they are absolutely more powerful in these aspects. The advantages.

But compared with these advantages, its shortcomings are also too obvious. For adventurers who are accustomed to carrying light and simple things, no one will consider carrying such a troublesome thing unless it is a challenge with a clear goal.

Over time, the chefs in Green Lake Town eliminated such recipes and left them to gather dust in the tribe's warehouse.

It was only after talking with these chefs that Allen understood the tribe's various considerations regarding the elimination of formulas. If he hadn't planned to establish a magic chef system, he might not have known this for a long time.

After understanding these reasons, Allen no longer worried about the lack of formulas after he established the God of Cookery Guild.

Before the establishment of the Magic Chef system, even if chefs who learned magic dishes did not take risks, they could often find a suitable way out through the dish recipes they learned, and their lives would be completely worry-free. When the Magic Kitchen system is established in the future and the Magic Kitchen is promoted and expanded, adventurers will inevitably try to learn these recipes on their own initiative, so that they can obtain more stable and powerful blessings in their adventures and reduce the risks in their adventures.

At the same time, just like before the development of potion alchemy, they were also worried that potions could not be stored for a long time. It was not until the emergence of props such as magic sealing bottles that various potions were popularized among adventurers. As for the dishes cooked by the magic chef, sooner or later someone will start to research methods of preserving them because of their effects. Perhaps it won't be long before there are storage props like the magic bottle specifically designed to preserve magic dishes.

At that time, the spring of this type of recipes will truly arrive, and naturally chefs will take the initiative to exchange resources and contributions for these recipes.

Ruwa has a lot of experience in cooking the dish "Night". His small restaurant, which can only accommodate 6-7 tables, has thieves and warriors every one or two months, specially looking for it. He ordered this dish in order to use the characteristics of this dish to help them advance to the intermediate level, or deepen their connection with the shadow plane.

And every time he cooks this dish, Ruwa always makes a lot of money, which is much higher than what he makes by cooking home-cooked dishes for people around his restaurant.

Ruwa's family life is more generous than that of ordinary people. This is also due to the more than twenty magic dishes he learned at the culinary academy and the tribal library. He has gained a good reputation among adventurers. .

At this time, the fifty or so chefs present, except for a dozen teachers who work at the culinary academy, most of the other goblins are like Ruwa, relying on the dozens of magic dishes they have learned in exchange for their generous Life.

Many adventurers operating in Namur Fortress are also attracted by the properties of these magical dishes in Green Lake Town, trying to break their bottleneck and gain greater strength. For this reason, these adventurers spend a lot of money. Even if the prices offered by these magic chefs are high and the conditions are relatively harsh, many adventurers still order meals.

Carefully, he cut the clotted Shadow Leopard blood into small square pieces, and then put them into the hot blood water remaining after the blood had coagulated. Luwa's eyes did not dare to leave these square blood clots for a moment, and a faint light began to appear on the surface of the blood clots. When it turned gray-white, Luwa quickly took the iron pot containing the blood water away from the stove, and gently scooped out each piece of blood tofu in the pot with the colander he had prepared earlier, and placed it into the cold cold water aside.

"call!!"

After doing all this, Luwa finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that not a single piece of blood tofu was broken or overcooked. At least he had jumped over the first threshold of cooking this dish, and the next step was pan-fried pork chops. This is a step.

Although each step has been drafted countless times in Ruwa's mind, when it comes to cooking, adjustments must be made in time due to various factors. For example, if the meat loses too much water and looks tough, it is necessary to add blood water and nightglow grass to soften the meat. Another example is...    Cooking magic dishes is just like magic potion alchemy. Although there are complete recipes for reference, the cooking techniques are also known in advance. , but when it comes to actual operation, you always need to fine-tune and control the heat, so that you can successfully make the best magic dishes.

"Damn!!"

I don't know which unlucky guy suddenly let out a low curse. It seems that when he was fishing for blood tofu, he accidentally cracked the skin of the tofu. Not only did that piece of blood tofu lose its effect, but also several adjacent pieces of blood around it. The tofu was also affected by the damaged blood tofu. Although it was fine on the surface, the magic power stimulated inside had fluctuated. It was still unknown whether the dish could be successfully cooked in the future.

The serious expression lingered on Luwa's face for a long time, and there were tiny beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. He didn't dare to wipe it off easily, for fear that an accident would ruin all his cooking efforts.

When both sides of the steak and the surrounding area were properly fried to a crispy aroma, Ruwa quickly took it out and found a long, sharp knife in his hand. He began to operate it with Ruwa's dexterous right hand. , swish, swish, carving on the steak.

When the blade stopped moving, the tip of the knife was gently lifted on the front of the seemingly complete steak. Square grooves appeared on the surface of the steak, revealing the red muscles inside.

The kitchen knife was inserted into the knife holder, and Luwa changed his hands to a pair of chopsticks, and gently picked up the blood tofu that had just been soaked in water, and carefully moved it to the groove on the steak.

The chopsticks held the off-white blood tofu smoothly, placed it in the groove of the meat steak, and gently loosened the tip of the chopsticks. The blood tofu was perfectly placed in the meat steak, and the surface was just flush with the surface of the meat steak. One point less...

This was repeated many times, until the grooves dug out on the steak were filled with blood tofu the size of a little fingertip. After a beautiful geometric pattern appeared on the surface of the steak, every move just now was as gentle as treating a lover. Luwa finally let out a long breath again.

Next, put the steak back into the pan soaked with shadow leopard grease and nightglow grass and fry it again...

The whole cooking process is actually not very long, but in the minds of these chefs who cook seriously, the time is so long and torturous. Even chefs who think they are very proficient in this dish cannot guarantee that they will be able to cook it. Can succeed the first time.

There have been unlucky chefs who failed to cook and gave up the tools in their hands. They began to reflect decadently and angrily on which step they went wrong and how to deal with such a problem next time...

"All right!!"

"Except for one person who failed to cook, the other fifty-two people have completed the 'Night' dishes. After sending the dishes you cooked to the tasting area, the next step is to rate the difficulty of the dish. I hope you all take it seriously."

A magical hour passed, and all the chefs had finished cooking the 'Night Curtain'. As Swara's voice sounded again, all the chefs finally came to the side with a hint of tiredness, carrying the dishes they had cooked. On the dining table lined up in a long snake.

Plate after plate of pan-fried pork chops with a fragrant aroma and a faint hint of magic was placed on the dining table. There is a hint of golden color in the gray surface of the steak, which is integrated with the gray-brown blood tofu inlaid in it, like gray pearls inlaid in the pale golden sky.

“The food testers are entering!!”

A team of level 8 thieves who had been prepared for a long time were summoned from the outside and lined up in front of the dining table.

These fifty-odd level 8 thieves are all selected from the Dwarf Goblin branch. They have basically the same physical fitness and do not have any natural abilities. If they were from the Green Field Tribe, which was weak in the past, they would want to find such a team to try out. Being a thief is a difficult task, but now all it takes is Alan's request to find these lucky guys, but it only took Tris and the others less than five days.

The reason why it took five days was because Tris and the others needed to select the closest members from the nearly 500 low-level dwarf goblin thieves.

“Get ready to try the dishes!!”

"Researchers, get ready too!!"

"meal!!"

…………

At Swara's order, the dwarf thieves solemnly raised their chopsticks and began to devour the rare dish in front of them.

As the special effects of the magic dishes began to appear in the thieves' bodies, researchers who had recorded the physical data of these thieves in advance began to test the thieves' physical fitness, shadow affinity experience, etc. The qualities are summarized digitally again.

Every step seems boring, but it is crucial to Allen's future plans.

After all the data was collected and handed over to the tribe's best team of goblin scholars, after more than a dozen careful calculations and discussions, the difficulty score of the 'Night' dishes was finally fixed at 3.4 points.

"Okay, today's mission is temporarily over. Let's go to bed early in the evening and recharge our batteries. We will prepare for cooking tomorrow..."

After everything was recorded, Swara had it filed away, and he issued the final instructions to the hundreds of goblins in the square.

"It's all gone!!"

The crowd did not disappear because of Swara's order. Most of the goblin chefs would gather with their familiar companions to discuss today's harvest and their own techniques. The dwarf thieves who were testing the dishes began to digest the energy of the dishes they had absorbed today. When they woke up from their trance, the research members waiting on the side would once again test their strength and eliminate them. For members who are no longer suitable, new members are added.
