Food Poems

Chapter 63: Golden Apple can also be used for cooking?
The Iliad, one of the four epics of the Middle-earth Continent, records:

One day, a prince was taking a nap under a tree, when suddenly a golden apple fell from the tree and hit him on the head.

The prince picked up the golden apple and fell into deep thought.

"Why do apples fall down instead of flying up into the sky? Is there some principle behind this?"

Yeats waved his hand to drive away the association in his mind. Sorry, Sir Newton was interrupted. Let's start over.

The prince picked up the golden apple and found a line of words engraved on it, dedicated to the most beautiful goddess.

The next moment, the prince looked up at the sky and saw an owl, a cuckoo and a swan flying in the sky.

Three sacred birds claimed to be the incarnation of the goddess and asked the prince to make a choice and offer the golden apple to one of the goddesses.

The prince presented the golden apple to the swan incarnation of the goddess of love and beauty, and married the most beautiful woman in the world with her blessing. However, under the curse of the other two goddesses, he lost his land and life.

His country was eventually annexed by the fathers of the King of Lorraine, laying the foundation for Lorraine to create a huge unified empire.

Yeats felt strange as he watched the squirrel drilling its teeth.

In the world view of "Phantom Wings", it wasn't you who threw the golden apple to the prince, right?

"This is called the Apple of Youth, but most of the magic power has dissipated. It is only suitable for you humans to eat."

Diamond said: "The real apple of youth, even if a god eats it, he will regain his youth, but if a human eats it, he will be blown up by the magic power."

Hildreth pondered and said, "But...isn't the Apple of Youth a sacred object of the Goddess of Art and Youth? How did you get it?"

Zuan Ya smiled and said nothing.

Yeats speculated that it was probably stolen from the apple orchard of the goddess of youth.

You are really not a human being.

Don’t steal too much. Who will eat this little?

Soon, Ye Zhi had an epiphany.

I understand. The reason why Zuan Ya took out an apple of youth was because he wanted to see my fun!
Zuan Ya glanced at the three people and rubbed his hands:

"I should give rewards to the three of you, but I only have one golden apple."

"So, I give it to Ye Zhi, and let Ye Zhi distribute it!" Zuanya waved his hand and threw the golden apple into Ye Zhi's hand.

Ye Zhi looked down at the golden apple in his palm.

"Golden Apple with Incomplete Magic Power: Rare Quality. This apple of youth with only a little magic power left may be just right for humans to eat. Eating it directly can improve physical fitness and comprehensively enhance physical attributes such as arm strength, muscle endurance, speed, and physical fitness."

Simply put, after eating it, you can gain a strong physique suitable for practicing martial arts.

The knight profession requires a strong physique as a foundation, and fighting, sword skills, and archery are all entry-level courses.

Yeats's previous life was a piece of rotten wood, as if cursed, unable to become a knight or a wizard.

In Ye Zhi's opinion, how can a Western fantasy world not practice both magic and martial arts?
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be a bard who is also a knight and a trickster!
Ye Zhi coughed lightly, stared at the little squirrel, ruthlessly exposed its trick, and said:

"You want me to divide up the golden apple. Do you want to see the three of us quarreling?"

The little squirrel blinked, trying to get away with it.

Yeats continued to mock without mercy, shaking his head in grief and angrily said:
"You disappoint me so much, Drill!"

Hear the words.

Zuanya's eyes were wandering, and he felt a little ashamed in his heart.

After all, Yeats was very much to my taste, and they were also friends who had experienced the night of the lunar eclipse together.

However, Zua Ya could not suppress his nature and wanted to see how Yeats would reconcile the conflicts between him and his partners.

Yeats's words "I am so disappointed" were very irritating to Zuanya's ears. It stretched out its little claws to scratch its cheeks, muttering in its heart:

"Oh, at worst, I can just compensate this kid later..."

"The plan is so clumsy, there is definitely room for improvement!" Ye Zhi said.

You are disappointed with this? Zuanya was stunned and subconsciously asked: "How to improve?"

Yeats said: "Instead of using one golden apple to stir up conflict among the three of us, why not use two golden apples and let us eat them in turn according to our contributions?"

"The person who didn't get the golden apple would definitely feel humiliated and think that he was inferior to the other two people." Yeats said eloquently, "Even the two people who ate the golden apple would compare their merits with each other and be wary of the person who didn't get the golden apple."

“If I am the only one who gets the golden apple, and the other two people hate me together, they may still form an alliance with each other. But if two people get the golden apple, the probability of an alliance among the three will be greatly reduced, which will create more discord!” Zuan Ya was shocked when he heard this.

Although many loopholes can still be found, Yeats's words are quite commendable!
On the side, Hildreth fell into deep thought. As the chosen one of the God of Strategy, she always felt that Ye Zhi's words just now were suspected of sophistry.

But even if it was just sophistry, it was a great success if it could make this ignorant squirrel waver.

Gray: (〃'▽'〃)
The golden apple is so beautiful...

Zuanya was silent for a while, scratched his head embarrassedly, and stammered: "Then I will... take the golden apple back?"

Yeats: “Wait!”

Diamond: "But didn't you say that a golden apple can't be divided?"

"Who said that?"

Ye Zhi said calmly: "I'll make it into a dish and we can all eat it together."

Drilling: ???
Zuan Ya was a little nervous. Is Ye Zhi crazy? He actually wants to make the golden apple into a delicacy!
"The golden apple is covered with invisible traces of magic. If you don't cut it properly, the magic of the entire golden apple will be ineffective!" shouted Diamond Tooth.

"I know." Ye Zhi picked up the golden apple and looked at it carefully, squinting his eyes and said, "So I will cut it in the right position."

Zuanya was startled and followed Ye Zhi to the kitchen.

In Ye Zhi's hand, a shadow blade made of woven shadow threads condensed, and he gestured back and forth at the golden apple.

Then, Ye Zhi raised his knife and actually cut the golden apple into two halves, and the magic power on the apple was almost not damaged!
Diamond's eyes widened as he put apple chunks, cinnamon, and butter in a pot and cooked them into a thick apple syrup.

Knead the wheat flour, salt and butter into dough, roll it into dough, spread the apple filling on the dough, and fry it in a pan.

The aroma gradually became stronger, and about twenty minutes later, Zuanya heard Ye Zhi's voice: "It's done!"

[Golden Apple Baked Pie: Four stars. Made with the magic-deficient version of golden apples, it is golden and crispy, with a sweet aroma. Eating it will permanently improve your physical condition.]

Ye Zhi sniffed the aroma, brought the apple pie back to the attic, and looked at Gray and Hilde who were a little surprised.

"We'll share this dish among the three of us as a reward for this mission." Ye Zhi divided it into three portions and glanced at the little squirrel, "You won't get any."

Drilling: |ω`)
I really want to have a taste.

Hildreth picked up a piece of apple pie, looked curious, and immediately put it into his mouth.

Hildre's cheeks gradually turned red, and she lowered her head and tasted the apple pie in silence.

I thought to myself, this taste is too sweet...

On the other side, Gray took a bite: "Hmm...(￣～￣)"

Gray was shocked and said, "So sweet and delicious!"

Yeats tasted the apple pie calmly, with a gleam in his eyes.

This is undoubtedly the best food I have ever tasted.

As Zuanya said, after eating golden apples, your physical condition will undergo subtle changes within the next week.

The change may not be significant for Hilde and Gray, but for Yeats, it is the key to helping him become a knight!
Looking at the three people who were busy eating, the little squirrel slowly smiled.

Both Yeats's eloquence and his superb cooking skills left a deep impression on me.

But he still had to go and see more fun. Ye Zhi's current strength was still too weak, and he had to give him more help... Thinking of this, Zuanya leaped up, jumped onto Ye Zhi's shoulder, and leaned over to pat him.

"You have received Ratatoskr's blessing."

"You have acquired a new talent."

"Talent: Harmless to People and Animals: With this talent, you naturally exude an aura that makes people and animals around you feel close to you. You become difficult to be detected by detection magic, and when you are detected, you will leave a shallow impression in the minds of the other party. This talent is ineffective in tense and hostile environments."

Ye Zhi's heart was shocked.

This is the biggest reward that can be given by drilling teeth!

Ye Zhi looked at his two talents again, "Harmless to People and Animals" and "Poison Master".

Yeats smiled as he thought about how to use these two talents together.

The insidious tactics have increased!

　Sorry, sorry, it’s a bit late QAQ It will probably be on the shelves on April 4.3rd, there’s still time to save your manuscripts!
