Lord: Start with a book of Water Margin

Chapter 13 An all-fish feast, talking about the world over wine

The four of them sat in a circle. Guang Hui, Jiao Ting, and Han Bolong had all been hanging out in the world of martial arts for a long time, and had traveled through a lot of misty worlds. While everyone ate some fruits to cool down, they talked about their own experiences.

Guanghui will tell you one thing first.

Two years ago, I was in a fantasy world called Shili Village. Livestock in the village were often lost at night, and the doors were closed tightly at night. Even so, the number of livestock in the yard will decrease the next day, and the villagers dare not go out at night. Baozheng summoned the villagers to patrol at night. The phenomenon of losing livestock has improved, but it cannot be eliminated.

"After the Sa family left, Baozheng saw that the Sa family had some martial arts skills and was a monk, so he entrusted me with this matter. The Sa family ambushed the village every night, and finally discovered that it was a big snake that had entered the village to steal food. Logically speaking, a snake eats once. You can go without food for ten days, so the Sa family was extra careful. Following the big snake into the mist, in a valley not far away, the Sa family saw from a distance a man playing the flute to train the snake. Wear a fat, loose and collarless jacket. He wore a knee-length gown with slits on both sides and the bottom was open, and his head was covered with a scarf. The Sa family came forward to argue, but they couldn't understand the language, so they were not from China. They also drove snakes to eat the Sa family, and asked the Sa family to kill the big snake with a knife. "

"I picked up a secret book on snake making from this guy, and I don't know how to get it into his hands."

  Jiao Ting caught the conversation and said:
  "Since I left Zhongshan Mansion, I have traveled around and entered many worlds. Although I have no place to settle down, there are two places I always think about."

"This first place is an island and a town. It calls itself the country of Funan. There are many crocodiles here, the big ones are two to three feet long and have four legs. They often come ashore to devour people. The King of Funan heard that this time , sent someone to capture it, and put it in a moat at the city gate to raise. On the evening of the third day of a certain residence, I suddenly saw a man being pushed into a ditch by two public servants. He said that the county magistrate could not judge whether the man was guilty or not, so he pushed him into the pool and let the crocodile escape. Decide whether he is guilty or not. If he is guilty, the crocodile will eat him. If he is not guilty, he will not eat him even if he smells it."

After everyone heard this, they all said that he was a confused county magistrate. Asking what happens next.

Jiao Ting took a sip of tea and said: "I don't know if the crocodile has been hungry for a long time or because he has committed a heinous crime. As soon as he was pushed into the pool, he was bitten, torn into pieces and devoured. The second official went back to revive himself, and the onlookers still looked at him. He didn't leave, and watched with gusto. I asked the spectators beside me: Is there anyone who can't die after entering the pool? Brothers, guess what this old man said."

Everyone made guesses, "The old man said, hehe, foreigners who competed with the locals for profit suffered this disaster." After hearing this, I felt like the hair on my head stood on end. When I use my fists to show off my skills here, isn't it also to compete with others for profit? At that time, I was anxious, but I didn't show it on my face. I turned back to my residence, packed my luggage, and went to another place overnight.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the city gate, five or seven businessmen came after me and wanted to take me to the county magistrate's office for questioning. Seeing that it was not my head, I knocked away the soldiers guarding the city gate and ran out of the city. Someone with quick feet came to catch me, but they took advantage of me. I punched me and knocked him into the crocodile pool. I kicked him again and again. One person entered the pool, broke away from the others, and fled into the mist. Seeing those two people from a distance, they were also killed and devoured by crocodiles. "

Everyone laughed and said happily after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, it was Youshi, and the cook asked if he would come to the banquet. The new chef was going to make a whole fish feast, and the ingredients were all ready.

Zhao Zhen asked: "Didn't he let him rest for two days before working?"

The cook returned: "Chef Li came to the kitchen with Manager Tang and saw me waiting to pack up the herring that had just been delivered. Seeing the hunter's heart, he said that he would be taken in by the owner of the village. He offered nothing and made a table full of whole fish. Let’s have a banquet and express our feelings.”

"Well, take a jar of wine and two pieces of cloth and give them to Chef Li."

Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, please go to the hall to have a feast."

As soon as I sat down, I saw the cook bringing up a large plate, half of which was filled with fish heads. There is a thick layer of chili peppers on top, and when hot oil is poured on it, the aroma is fragrant.

The waiter sang the dish: "The first dish is the fish head as an appetizer. Wash the fish head, cut it open in the middle of the fish lip, slash the thicker part of the fish with a diagonal knife, chop the chili pepper and steam it with the fish head."

Zhao Zhen held up chopsticks to persuade him, while Zhao Yuanli stood aside to serve. The meat on the fish head is tender and translucent in the mouth, soft and waxy, salty and slightly spicy.

"Second course, crispy Long Sun Yi. Wash the fish skin, boil it in hot water, cut into thin strips, and season with cold sauce."

"Sandao, flowering golden armor. Fish scales are wrapped in egg liquid, dipped in flour, and fried in oil."

"Four ways, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth, baked fish belly in a clay pot..."

“Five dishes, tender and juicy, fish balls in clear soup..."

“Six dishes, you’ll never get tired of eating them, fried fish steak...”

"Seven paths, sweet teeth and fattening, braised fish cubes..."

"Eight courses, full of mellow aroma, fish and mutton are fresh in one pot..."

"Nine paths, gold mining in the sand, five-spice fish liver..."

"Ten Dao, pure and white, fish belly double crisp..."

"Eleven dishes, sunny spring and white snow, crab roe and fish brain soup..."

"Twelve courses, as passionate as fire, spicy fish miscellaneous..."      "Thirteen courses, hundreds and thousands of mouthfuls, steamed eggs with fish roe..."

"Fourteen paths, ups and downs in the water, fish maw glue soup..."

"Fifteen ways, clear and clear, clear water with fish blood..."

"Sixteen paths, jumping through the dragon's gate, braised fish paddling..."

Zhao Zhen never thought that Li Xiaoer could cook sixteen kinds of fish dishes with different names and tastes from one fish. There was a lot of chatter and chatter, and Zhao Zhen and the three heroes drank happily and had a feast.

When the wine was half full, the three heroes each expressed their thoughts and became closer to each other.

At that moment, Zhao Zhen asked, "Brother Han, how come you got involved with Brother Guanghui?"

Han Bolong said: "It's a coincidence that Xiao Ke heard about the owner of the village, Corporal Li Xian, in the rivers and lakes, and was about to surrender. When passing through the fog, he encountered the Guanghui brothers and his group, who were being attacked by more than 20 wolves. A black wolf king was far away. The wolves were howling and commanding, and the wolves dispersed to attack. The Guanghui brothers went to rescue everywhere and were exhausted. The wolf king was in front of me. He raised a stick and hit the wolf king on the waist. The beast was killed, and the other wolves immediately dispersed. . Afterwards, after reciting the etiquette, we found out that Brother Guanghui happened to be from the village, so he came with the motorcade."

Guang Hui said: "Yes, that wolf king is very cunning. Fortunately, brother Han Bolong came by chance, otherwise he might have been damaged." He filled a bowl of wine for Han Bolong and raised the bowls to clink them.

"It was a smooth journey when I went there. On the way back, in addition to being attacked by a pack of wolves, I also encountered a blind bear looking for food. He followed the convoy from a distance for more than 20 miles. I was careful all the way, but unexpectedly let the wild man The wolf took advantage of the loophole." Guang Hui said with a slightly self-deprecating tone. Everyone also laughed.

While they were talking and laughing, Li Xiaoer came forward and offered a fist-sized herring stone: "Master, this is the herring stone. Please keep it." Zhao Zhen took it and handed it to Zhao Yuanli, who was waiting next to him. Let it dry in the shade and then process it into a safe buckle.

"Xiao Er, I didn't know you had such ability. I'm so lucky to be able to join my village."

"The owner of the village is welcome. I have been diligent and diligent since I was a child, and I am a good cook. I opened a small shop to make a living. Because of the good vegetables and the good juices, everyone who came to eat applauded me, so the business went smoothly. Unfortunately, I had an unlucky year and had to live in the world due to eating. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise. I got a fragment of "Shi Xian Hong Mi" and read it thoroughly, so I became good at cooking fish."

As he spoke, he took out the ancient book and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

world log
  "Shi Xian Hong Secret" (remnant, contains the method of recording fish, which can awaken the professional chef)

Chef (fish):
  Occupational skill: Cooking (using fresh fish as raw material, cooking delicious food +5)

Wash the fish and put it on the table, and cook it in the same way as "cooking a ding to a cow". First separate the fish head and body, then take out the fish intestines, belly and other offal, and put each on a plate. Peel off the skin and meat of the fish, slice the fish into slices, dices, or cubes, chop the fish skin into small pieces, and place them in separate dishes as well. Served with vegetables, fruits, pots or plates, the raw ingredients for 16 dishes are neatly prepared and cooked over fire. Either stir-fry, deep-fry, boil, or stew...

world feedback
  Obtain professional guides, increase the foundation of the fantasy world, and gain +1 luck.

Do you know why this professional guide can increase luck in the fantasy world?

First, characters in the fantasy world can awaken to become professionals through reading and practice. Of course, this also requires a certain amount of talent. For example, Li Xiaoer is a good cook and succeeded in finding his job easily. Based on this, troops can be generated, traded in the main world, and profit can be made.

Both, this thing can make people in the main world serve as guides and they will definitely become professionals. Therefore, there are Dao patterns on the object, and the user can inherit the many years of experience left by the user or maker. But it can only be used once. The remaining Daoyun can only be used as a basis for training the fantasy world's troops.

Zhao Zhen felt that the current value of this item should be higher than the value of the Secret Record of Snake Making. After all, compared to professions such as doctors that require qualifications, it is easier to get started as a cook. This thing is enough to become the foundation of a small force like my own.

Zhao Zhen said: "Xiaoer, this thing is of great use to me. It's not easy to take it away out of thin air. I will reward you with 10 taels of gold. Don't shirk it." After that, Zhao Yuanli took out the gold from the warehouse and handed it to Li Xiaoer.

Zhao Zhen stood up, held three glasses in a row, drank with Li Xiaoer, and invited Li Xiaoer to sit down. How could Li Xiaoer be willing to sit down? He waved his hand and refused. "Master, waiter, who am I? How dare I sit at the table with all these heroes?"

"Today I am very happy that the owner of the village has taken him in and arranged for me and my husband to make a living. I have become the chef of the village. I am very happy. There are also two knife-hands in the kitchen, which is where I can use my skills. The big herring I saw today, I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, so that the owner of the village and all the heroes could try out the craftsmanship. From then on, the villains also took root in Xixi Village."

Seeing Li Xiaoer's sincerity and his repaying kindness, Zhao Zhen immediately said: "In that case, brother Xiaoer, I won't say any more words of thanks. From today on, the kitchen work will be handed over to my brother. .”

Li Xiaoer cupped his hands and thanked him: "Master, I have been running around for days, so I will take my leave today. From now on, as long as the master has instructions for food, I will definitely arrange it properly."

Not to mention that Li Xiaoer left with wine, meat, cloth, gold, silver and money.

When the two heroes at the table saw that Li Xiaoer had arranged their tasks, they also became interested.
