Eternal food paradise

Smoke rises.

A brought-in, modern-style ‘pan’ was placed on a simple stove made of stone.

Of course, from the perspective of Sarah and Tatsugoro, this seemingly rough and simple picnic is actually full of hard-core technical content.

Sarah sniffed the meaty aroma that started to pour out, and couldn't help turning her head to the side, wiping the corners of her mouth vigorously with the back of her hand. From this angle, she could see the Cockatrice lying dead in front of the stream.

The largest individual in the group, the body was almost complete. The only thing that was cut off was the tail.

According to legend, some unique individuals of the Cockatrice actually have a second head on their tails. However, Sarah has only seen fragments of similar records in the incomplete notes of a legendary adventurer, and the real thing has not yet been discovered. Never seen it with my own eyes.

As for cooking and cooking, it perfectly hits Sarah Gerdo's blind spot.

Why “kill nerves”?

For example, when she had just cut off the long tail with a knife, Manager Xia took out a thin and long iron wire in front of her and His Excellency Jianhao, and inserted the end of the wire deeply into the coccyx and between the spine columns. hole, so the wire disappeared almost half a meter into it.

In such a weird treatment.

"Snake Tail" seemed to be alive and kicking for a while.

Thinking of the scene of processing just now, Sarah looked at Manager Xia who was holding an iron tong and turning the minced meat in the pot from time to time:

"Why use iron wire and treat it like that?"

The swordsman Tatsugoro, who was wiping the blade of his sword on a stone, immediately pricked up his ears to express concern.

Xia Yan said cheerfully:

"It's very simple."

"I discovered that the tissue structure of the Cockatrice's tail is very similar to that of a fish. It is full of tiny capillaries. Therefore, it is best to bleed while it is hot and fresh. While killing the nerves, the tail should be kept as clean as possible. Move around for a while to expel the last part of the dirty blood."

"Of course, the other aspect is to keep it fresh!"

“Killing the nerves prevents the tissues and muscles from sensing death, so the meat will not become deformed or stiff, but will remain as fresh and delicious as when it was alive.”

One sentence can roughly describe the surprised expressions of Sarah and Tatsugoro at this time——

Strange knowledge increased!

Moreover, I heard the description of fresh and delicious at the end of the sentence.

Gulu~

Sarah Gerdo stared closely at the pan, frying the minced meat for a long time, but still maintaining its tender color. She swallowed her saliva unladylikely, and her suddenly wild eyes looked like an embarrassed traveler who had been hungry for a week.

‘Swordsman’ Tatsugoro still has that cool and deep look, but as the cooking comes to an end, the smoke rises higher and higher, and the smell of meat that permeates the vicinity becomes stronger and stronger.

Suddenly he couldn't sit still anymore. He put the half-scratched blade back into its scabbard and walked quietly to the campfire. Not afraid of the heat wave, he just sat down and stared at the pan.

Fortunately, what Tatsugoro was targeting nakedly was an inanimate cooking utensil. If it were a human or an animal, he would be cold and scared.

"alright--"

Xia Yan took out the three bowls from the "space treasure bag". At this moment, Sarah and Tatsugoro didn't care that the space treasure bag was actually filled with cooking utensils and seasoning bottles. In a swish, he took out the bowls from the pan. His eyes shifted to Xia Yan.

The longing in the eyes is very straightforward without the need for words——

Want to eat!

I want!

Since it was an ingredient intercepted by a large individual, the portion was quite large, and Xia Yan did not intend to be devoid of emotional intelligence, so he did it all by himself, raising the hatred value of the two escort followers, Sarah and Tatsugoro, to the MAX, even though he trusted them very much. A person's character, but when his sarcasm is full, Xia Yan is very afraid of causing trouble.

So, enjoying alone is not as good as enjoying together.

Xia Yan had a great spirit of sharing. He put the fried minced meat in the pan into three bowls equally, and used the knife he brought with him to cut a few lemon wedges, squeezed lemonade into each one and sprinkled some green herbs. Xiangye went in and said, "You two, enjoy together!"

After saying that, he took a big mouthful without any politeness.

Compared to delicious.

During this picnic, Xia Yan wanted to test the quality difference between the 'ingredients' hunted in the field and the local products in the system mall.

What is the specific difference and how much difference is there?

Will his black hole-like body undergo other changes due to higher quality ingredients?

With all these expectations, Xia Yan chewed and ate.

"Well!"

The body immediately changed significantly.

There was a pain like a tearing knife on the back of his hand. Xia Yan broke into cold sweat on his forehead. He lowered his head to look and found a lime-gray mottled mark, extending from point to surface, visible to the naked eye.

Soon, half of the palm was "petrified" and lost consciousness!

When Xia Yan saw this strange and frightening patch, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his head was shuddering. Fortunately, his attention was instead attracted by the "blue" stream on his retina.

Yes, the blue spots of light that I had gotten from enjoying the local products in the system have now turned into blue waterfalls that keep rolling past.

It seems to form a mysterious data string.

Then, the feeling in the palms quickly returned, and the lime-gray patches evaporated little by little!

Xia Yan secretly exhaled and relaxed his nerves: "Are you resisting or defending?"

Staring at the "Strong Physique" on the personal panel, his eyes flickered.

Muffled sounds came from Sara and Chengoro respectively. Xia Yan looked over and found that the spots on the smooth forehead of the female treasure hunter were disappearing. As for the swordsman, there was nothing strange about him. Obviously, with his strength and resistance, Basically, weak monsters like [Cockatrice] can't stump him yet.

After wiping his sweat, Xia Yan suppressed the fuzzy feeling in his heart, ate all the food, stood up, and bounced on the spot again, with a surprised and weird expression on his face.

…

When the smoke rises straight into the sky.

In this wilderness, two groups of people noticed the smoke column in the sky.

This group of people is a partnership of two old men.

There was another group of people, or rather, individual travelers and wanderers. She took off the hood covering her head and looked up at the smoke in the air. Between her beautiful and brilliant golden hair, there was a pair of long pointed hair. ear.

This is an elf!

…

After eating and drinking, the trio of Xia Yan, Sarah and Chengoro planned to put out the fire and continue to the next monster spot.

But Chengoro, who was helping to clean up, suddenly moved his ears, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and looked at one place warily. After a while, two figures gradually walked out of the shadows of the woods.

It's two old men.

One of them holds a wooden staff and has thick and snow-white beard and hair. If he puts on a white wizard robe, he will be the best interpreter of Gandalf, the white-robed wizard.

Seeing each other's faces clearly, the two groups were shocked at the same time.

Tatsugoro was no longer in a state of alertness pressing the knife.

"What, it turns out to be "Teriyaki Chicken Nuggets" sir. I didn't expect to meet you in such a deserted place. "A joking but friendly voice came from the old man with the temperament of a wizard and sage.
