I sell sweets in Konoha

"Comrade Daimyo?"

To do it or not to do it?This has nothing to do with Junko, she still doesn't know what happened here.

The only thing that annoyed her was that the fish was a little... too smart?

They seem to know that if it freezes and is limited by natural factors, her ice blocks can easily and quickly freeze the water flow in the upper reaches of the stream, even making the temperature of the water flow near the ice layer close to zero.

But the water downstream doesn't freeze as quickly and the temperature doesn't drop below freezing.

Therefore, when the wind and snow magic was raging, the fish dived, and when it stopped, they came up and laughed at Junko through the ice.And when Junko planned to use electric shock, the fish quickly swam away and hid far away from the impact of the electric current, and then laughed at Junko.

"There's something wrong..." Junko pinched her chin and carefully observed the fish that was swimming very close.

The speed of this fish is also a bit too fast. No matter how fast the fish is, it cannot be faster than the speed of the current. Even if it swims rapidly down the water, it will still be electrocuted by the current.

From the moment she started releasing the electric current, she ran 30 meters away...

The speed of this fish is comparable to the speed of light!

This is probably the speed of space jump, right?

'There's something wrong with this fish! Junko frowned slightly, something was wrong with this fish!It seems that he must be unusually smart, and may even have some special characteristics!

I'm afraid it's not as simple as being smart.

"Pa~pa~pa~pa~" Junko suddenly heard the sound of slapping rocks on the shore.

Junko understood and stood up and turned around to look. At some point, a fish was jumping hard on the bank, struggling to get back into the water.But it is really a bit far away from the shore. No matter how hard it struggles, it almost loses its clear direction of movement once it leaves the water.

It struggled hard but was just doing Brownian motion, moving away from the stream and then approaching it again.

But no matter what, it seems to have lost the possibility of returning to the water.

'Where did this fish come from? Junko walked to the shore curiously, looked at the fish and then at the old turtle.

'Did you catch this old turtle?But he doesn’t have any tools? '

'How? '

I don’t know, but the old turtle sat there for a long time like an old monk in meditation without any movement, and there was no tool in his hand.What's more important is that his stone is at least one meter vertically above the water.

This old turtle didn't have any tools, so how could he catch it?

'Will Jiang Taigong take the bait when he fishes? 'Junzi didn't know what to do.

'Did the fish jump up on its own?Can't think of committing suicide? '

Junko walked up to the fish, and the fish seemed to have noticed Junko's arrival and jumped even more fiercely.But...but it doesn't seem to be of any use at all.

"This kind of fish is called 'King of Fish'." The old turtle suddenly said: "I just caught one, please grill it for me."

"I suddenly want to have another meal."

"Oh..." Junko looked at the old turtle, it looked like it really caught it.

Looking at the fish again, Junko really admired the old turtle now.The first time I knocked myself off a rock, the second time I caught fish directly from the water without any tools.This old turtle seems to be quite capable!How on earth is it done.

Junko didn't quite understand, but since the old turtle asked her to handle the fish, she should take this opportunity to study the fish carefully.

Junko waited for the fish to get tired of jumping around, then took a step forward to carefully observe the fish named 'Fish King'.

'Kind of like a carp?'So this is actually called Magikarp? 'Junko feels a little strange.

This fish indeed looks very similar to the carp from the previous life. It should be a bony freshwater fish that is very similar to carp.Although it looks like a carp, Junko can easily see the difference, that is, this fish has a big head!The head of the entire fish is completely larger than the ordinary carp that I was familiar with in my previous life.

A big head may affect the streamlined body, but there may be an advantage to having a big head.

That is to accommodate a larger brain. A larger brain brings about an increase in brain capacity and a rapid increase in the speed of sensory and information processing.So it seems right that this group of fish has high IQ.

and then?

Seeing that the fish couldn't resist, Junko started to discharge electric shocks to the fish.

But goose....

Apart from resisting and struggling to jump, the fish seemed to have nothing to do with it, and it seemed that it was hardly afraid of her electric shock.

"The reason why the Fish King can be called the Fish King."

At this moment, the old turtle suddenly said: "Because of his high adaptability, it is said that after King Carp crossed the dragon gate, he transformed into a dragon and soared in the sky."

"Oh, are you sure this isn't Magikarp evolving into Gyarados?" Junko complained.

"Although I don't know what kind of dragon you are talking about, Gyarados." The old turtle said calmly: "But if you think so, that's right."

"Oh..." Junko's mouth twitched, this old turtle really did what she said.Unable to complain!Unable to complain! ...No, wait ha?

"Are there any people in your tribe who changed from Squirtle to Kami Turtle and finally to Blastoise?" Junko asked out of the blue.

Since there are Gyarados and Magikarp here, then there are also Squirtles and the like.

"Oh..." the old turtle thought for a moment and said, "There does seem to be a group of special beings in our clan."

'Oh...it's really cute. Junko was even more helpless to complain.

'Okay, forget it, let's see how this Carp King sits and eats? '

Junko remembers Magikarp.If it were in a certain Pokemon, Magikarp would be the weirdest monster, and Magikarp would do one thing during his period.Water splashes!

In her previous life, when Junko was playing Pokemon, when she caught Magikarp, she would attach a learning device to gain experience, and she didn't use it until she upgraded to Gyarados.

In this life, I really encountered the existence of the suspected Magikarp King, which is really a bit tricky.

Magikarp is introduced as an aquatic Pokemon with particularly strong vitality.

The main feature is that this fish can survive in any environment, and can still survive even in polluted water sources.And the defense value seems to be not low?

So it's understandable that his own electric shock didn't work, at least not completely.

Then...then if you want to eat this kind of fish...

How to deal with it?

'I remember that Magikarp didn't seem to have a lot of meat, right? 'Junko looked at the Fish King who didn't look like Magikarp King.

I can't tell how similar this is to the Magikarp in a certain Pokemon. It looks like a big-headed carp.The back is dark gray and the belly is white, and it is about 35 centimeters tall.

The vitality seems to be very tenacious indeed, at least for a while it is still struggling.

'Ah... forget it!Just grill the carp and eat it! '

'Damn, there should be a lot of meat, right? '

1Chapter 16 The grilled fish that captures the soul

Magikarp may be Magikarp, but this Magikarp has the strengths of that Magikarp and does not have the weaknesses of that Magikarp.

In terms of defense value alone, killing the fish really took a lot of effort and Junko finally killed him. He was tenacious and bounced on the shore for a long time. Junko, who had a high defense value, used electricity to electrocute the fish and tried hard with a stick. The beating did not cause any obvious damage.

There were no scales falling off, no bleeding or dizziness.

But in the end, Junko found the fish's weakness, which was the white belly. It was extremely soft without fish scales, and the muscles were ultimately no stronger than a kitchen knife. King Carp surrendered obediently in front of Junko and was disemboweled and turned into Ingredients.

only...

'How to deal with it? Junko looked at the fish.

The old turtle asked her to grill the fish, and Junko was naturally confident that she could grill the fish well.It's just that a clever woman can't cook without rice. Junko, who had no idea that she would cook another grilled fish today, didn't bring any cooking utensils or any sauce.If baked directly, there will be freshness to a certain extent to enhance the color.

But if you don't get it right, there may be some fishy or off-flavors. The fish may be tender, but it won't reach the ideal state if it's damaged by off-flavors.

'I don't want to ruin the sign here. Junko looked at the fish with some embarrassment.

The food I cooked has gained a good reputation among the Ninja people and has been unanimously recognized.And now, even if you don't want to rely on food to open up your relationship with Laogui, you can't ruin your brand just because of this.

Don’t smash the sign!

Junko looked at the old turtle and shouted, "Kamesennin~ I'm going to the mountains to find some useful ingredients. I'll grill the fish later."

The old turtle didn't say anything, which meant that he agreed to Junko's request by default.

Go into the mountains to look for it?Junko didn't dare to run too far, and she really didn't have much confidence in the ingredients in their wild state.Because reality is not so consistent with what people know, wild and original ecology are not completely synonymous with 'delicious' and 'healthy'.Wild populations that have not been bred and cultivated can be very different from those that have been artificially bred and cultivated.

In the wild, very obvious toxicity may also occur due to geographical environment factors and natural competition factors.

Junko, who was not familiar with the situation here, did not go too far. She searched up and down the stream and quickly retreated after not finding what she wanted.

I don't plan to keep looking.

She entered the system mall and found some accessories. Since she decided to make grilled fish, she had to use a lot of accessories.And facing this fish, although it is also grilled fish.

But this time Junko planned to make lemongrass grilled fish.

Lemongrass grilled fish in the previous life is a Dai-style grilled fish. The fish used is tilapia. Tilapia is commonly known as African carp and is one of the main aquatic products of the Chinese dynasty in the previous life.Of course Junko couldn't get tilapia here, so she could only try with the king fish in front of her.Although this king of fish is not a tilapia, it is not a carp either.

Judging from the feeling of dissection, this fish should not have too many bones.

perhaps...

In short, since you have decided to do it, you can give it a try.

The prepared ingredients include millet pepper, coriander, ginger, garlic salt, mint, lemongrass, cooking wine, soy sauce and chili powder.

Before making barbecue, of course, you must first process the fish, disembowel it and remove the internal organs and gills, wash it with clean water and place it in a clay pot. Add cooking wine, soy sauce, chili powder and edible salt.Spread evenly and marinate for one hour.

Of course, you can't be idle during this hour. Chop the millet pepper, mint, garlic, ginger, and coriander, add salt, and mix well.

After an hour, take out the marinated fish, and then stuff the prepared ingredients evenly into the belly of the fish.

After completing the above steps, wrap the fish with lemongrass, and then use green bamboo to clamp the rice dumpling leaves and tie them tightly.

Place on charcoal fire and roast slowly over low heat.

"Hey..." Junko looked at the charcoal below and sighed and whispered: "It would be great if the Uchiha people were here. This kind of low fire and slow roasting is the most suitable for them."

"It just lacks a little bit of flavor compared to charcoal grilling."

"It's a bit troublesome to control the fire..."

Controlling the fire, such as this very primitive charcoal fire, a charcoal pile that is not even a stove, touches a little bit of Junko's blind spot of knowledge and experience.

It cannot be extinguished. Naturally, the fire cannot be too small, and of course it cannot be too powerful.

This kind of low-fire and slow-roasting is the most grueling part, and this kind of roasting under nearly primitive conditions is even more of a test of Junko's skills.

This takes a long time to bake, and you have to brush it with lard and bake it for another 5 minutes before it's almost done.

Junko raised her head and glanced at the old turtle. It still maintained its original appearance and didn't seem to care whether Junko was grilling a fish.

Maybe grilling a fish is just a test for it and it doesn't really want to eat it.

Junko wasn't in a hurry when she saw this old turtle, so naturally she wouldn't be in a hurry to find a way to grill the fish quickly!Although it is slow, it is necessary to ensure that the fire is stable and that even if the temperature fluctuates, it is all within a controllable range.

Ensure that the fish will not be dry and hard after grilling, and the fish meat will be soft and tender.

After a long period of struggling, Junko finally finished grilling the fish.Put the fish on the plate, put a pair of chopsticks and jump in front of the old turtle, waiting for it to taste and comment.

The old turtle seemed to smell the aroma of grilled fish. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the grilled fish in front of him.

I don’t know what I was thinking about, but I finally moved my chopsticks.

The old turtle didn't seem to care about how Junko got the ingredients, the plate, and the clay pot. He seemed to be focused on eating the grilled fish.

'Is it delicious? Junko looked at the old turtle and wanted to ask, but she held back.

Eating without speaking seems to be one of the table manners here.When I was eating with that group of turtles before, not a single turtle was whispering to each other.

Old Turtle is even more like this.

And chewing slowly and savoring carefully seems to be the way this old turtle should eat.

The old turtle ate every bite very carefully.From the fish meat to the fillings inside, he took each bite slowly, seemingly tasting it very carefully.

It's not that delicious at all, and it immediately makes you look like you're going to get high.

The old turtle's expression never changed.

In other words, the old turtle has not completely changed since the beginning.

"If it's just a piece of preserved fruit." The old turtle finally put down his chopsticks. He didn't eat the whole fish, only half of it, and the remaining half didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to eat.

The old turtle said calmly and with a sigh: "This grilled fish is qualified."

"But if you want to go further, your fish is not qualified." The old turtle placed the fish on the empty seat in front of him and said, "Your grilled fish lacks sincerity and soul."

"Huh? Watt?"
