Chapter 176: The Teacher's Craft

Mentor Elinda put the conversation to a brief end. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info started preparing food for the evening. She asked the students around her, "What tools do you use to cook?"

Hearing the teacher's question, Nina nodded to the items on the side and said, "We recently used a simple stove made of stones, and an iron mesh to use as a support for heating. "Bowls and chopsticks are the simplest materials, that is, when you arrive at the training location, you can make them from wood.

Branches and leaves are used to protect the stove from the rain, but they are not usually placed on them. Unless it's raining, they'll be set up. After all, this rain shelter shelf can't be built very high, and it will also have a certain impact on the cooking below.

"Hmm. Do you have any ingredients?" Mentor Elinda smiled and said, "I'm also a hotel manager, and although I can't say that the cooking is better than those chefs, I still have some simple dishes of my own. ”

"The ingredients we have on hand are matsutake mushrooms, megalodons, long-stemmed vines...... Hey, Mentor Elinda, do you want to help us cook, then you'll take care of tonight's dinner!" Nina listened to her mentor's words, obviously wanting to show her hand. Except for the first few days when they had meat to roast and eat, they have been eating only stewed grass and vegetarian food lately. Although they taste great and are very nutritious, it is a bit greasy to eat them all three times a day.

I had to bring my own seasoning. Their most meat food ingredients are just a few bottles of butter and clear oil.

They are not familiar with food, so they can only handle it in the simplest way, and the only way to make it is boiled and roasted.

When they were in Youtan City, they had the help of the chef in the family or the outside hotel, but it was not so that the three meals a day were vegetarian, although they didn't say how much they liked meat, but each meal was at least relatively balanced, with a variety of rice and noodle staple foods, and there were also foods accompanied by meat, which were beautiful in appearance and tasted high.

What they couldn't figure out was that they were all ordinary food, how could they make it here, and there was so much difference in taste? Could it be that their craftsmanship was not good, or was there a gap in the quality of the food? After all, this is a wild vegetable, and the family side is all purchased by professional chefs.

Mentor Ilinda gladly granted Nina's request. There is no hesitation or demand. She is here to help the students make a meal, but also to help herself with dinner in the evening.

The language and performance of Tutor Elinda made Nina and the others feel that although this tutor was strict and very harsh during the day, he was actually quite approachable in normal times.

There is no conflict between the class and the private state, and it is also a good performance of the tutor. Be strict when you should be strict, and be lenient when you should be relaxed.

"Leah, are you okay, can you help me?" Mentor Elinda asked Leah, who had placed the ingredients Nina had taken from the preservation place on the stone table.

“…… For... What, it's me?" replied Leah squirming. She acted as if she was a little reluctant. For this state, Nina on the side whispered in her ear and said: "Leah, Mentor Elinda has rich experience in plants, which will be very beneficial to you in the future! ”

Although the pharmacology of plants is very complex, most of the plants are only of zero order. That is, anyone can pick it without being threatened by plant attacks. This is also a convenient place for Leah. She will be able to find a suitable job in the future with this secondary job in the future.

People without attributes are relatively scarce in terms of gathering, they have no attributes, and they will not cause interference and passage of attributes when picking plants. Therefore, in terms of Leah's own talent, this attributeless is very helpful in gathering side hustles.

Nina didn't seem to be able to move Leah alone, and Ellie leaned into Leah's ear and said, "Leah, you ......"

Seeing the two of them sticking to her side with great 'concern', Leah was about to cry, and said tremblingly: "I, I know...... I, I can't go......"

Under the puzzled gaze of Mentor Eliinda, Leah cautiously walked up to the mentor and said, "Mentor, you, what do you need me to do?"

"Well, what's wrong with you? Are you still a little unwell this afternoon? Then I'd better let Nina come. Mentor Elinda looked at Leah, who was trembling all over, and said in a comprehensible manner.

"No! no! I usually ...... That's how it usually is!" Leah stammered in decline. Nina comes to help Mentor Elinda cook, so she'll definitely have to be with Ellie. In that case, it would be better to do some work here, at least, she felt that the environment in which two people were alone with each other was much worse than the situation of burying their heads in hard work.

"Really?" said Tutor Elinda again, reluctantly, if the girl was not very comfortable with the environment, she could force it. But then, she saw Leah reach for a long-stemmed vine, which made her look much more normal.

"According to the mentor, this, how to deal with this?" Leah didn't have too much overthought to show that she would help the mentor do things.

"This one can first remove the outer skin and leave the green-white stem inside. Those of us should need half the weight here. Mentor Elinda continued, "You don't have to worry about cutting it off, or if you can't cut it clean, I'll help you finish it." Moreover, this plant is not poisonous, so be careful not to cut your hands. ”

"Good. Leah picked up the cleaned knife and began to slowly peel the skin of the long-stemmed vine. The skin of the long-stemmed vine has leaves to grow, but with a sharp blade, these are not a problem, and it is very easy to peel them off together.

The long-stemmed vine is as thick as half an adult's wrist, and the surface layer is thinner, and the greenish-white stem flesh is slightly cut into a millimeter. The length of the long-stemmed vine is very long, and the entire section is nearly 10 meters long. When collected, they can be found curling up on the branches of trees, occasionally hanging down from them.

Nina and the others only collected two pieces, and because of the height, these two pieces were not rounded. So, the length is much shorter.

As for the cutting, Leah said that there was no problem. Even if the long stem was curled, the outer layer was easily slipped out by the movement and transfer of her wrist. The scrap skin that was shaved off was not much disconnected, and it was basically several meters long.

The long-stemmed vine was quickly disposed of by Leah, and she began to watch as her mentor processed the remaining ingredients. Elinda's mentor is very familiar with the properties of these plants, and she is now cutting off the bitter, unchewable roots of the plants and performing the final cleaning.

After completing this series of actions, she saw the long stemmed vine in front of Leah, and looked at Leah in surprise.

Immediately, she was stunned for a moment, and then completely focused her attention on her hand. What she was thinking about was how Leah could move so quickly and get those ingredients in one fell swoop?However, it was normal for her to be very skilled at these things as an acolyte, right? After all, she often had to help her employer with chores.

Mentor Elinda gave herself a convincing reason and picked up the prepared frying pan. Nina and the others didn't carry many drinking utensils, only two kinds of pots, one was a taller, tall pot capable of boiling, like a semicircle shape of a helmet. The other is a frying pan used for stir-frying.

The pan is new and doesn't seem to have been used much.

Tutor Elinda poured a little oil into the pot and heated it on a burning stone stove. Then, she cut the long stem vine into finger lengths and quickly swept it into the pot. Suddenly, the steel pot that had been heated to the point of smoke resounded with a piercing sound of oil.

Perhaps worried that oil stains would be burned on her body, Nina and the others involuntarily took two steps back. Tutor Elinda did not change her face at this, and held the handle in the palm of her hand, and turned it slightly twice, and the round long stem and vine segment turned in the pot.

The surface is stained with a little oil and water. As the temperature increased, its surface gradually shed water, and seeing this scene, Mentor Elinda continued to slide the steel pot to evenly evaporate some water from the long stems and vines, and the greenish-white surface on it also deepened rapidly.

Afterwards, Mentor Elinda released the handle and spatula with both hands, reducing the flame of the stone furnace slightly. She poured a pinch of salt and pepper from the spice bottle into the palm of her left hand.

This action made Nina and the others not know what Mentor Elinda was going to do. What is there about this condiment to pour in the palm of your hand?

Is it to taste the taste? Doesn't it taste good and add some water?

Elinda's mentor moved quickly, and it didn't make them hesitate too much. Her lips opened slightly, and a wisp of red flame floated between her fingers. The left hand curled up into a fist, the index finger spread downward, the palm rubbed, the thin salt and pepper shook down from the place where the palm and index finger were extended, through the flames, there was a faint crackling sound, and the faint red light was faintly visible, and then scattered on the long stem vine.

"Wow......" Nina opened her mouth in surprise, and immediately began to talk to Ellie, this Elinda's mentor's cooking method is particularly unique.

Kerx was familiar with it, and he explained to Leah, "This firing method uses attribute power as a secondary firing. When used in the right place, the ingredients can quickly exude their essential flavor, which is more intuitive and controllable than external heating!

Mentor Eliinda's movements continued, and she tossed the long-stemmed vine to the side, then poured the matsutake mushroom into the center. In the same way, sprinkle a little salt and pepper that has been burned with flames. At this time, the faint salty taste has slowly drifted out, and they have the unique oily aroma in the pot, which makes people feel that although they are eating the ingredients they have eaten before, the taste is obviously two levels!

The matsutake mushrooms were quickly heated, and they were once again pushed to the side by Mentor Eliinda. She shoved in a few stones and sealed the fire so that the temperature of the stove could be quickly reduced. But this kind of action made the surrounding students a little puzzled, among the ingredients, there was actually one that had not been fired, and that was Megalodon.

Megalodon should also be the ingredient used by Elinda's mentor, after all, they have all been carefully cleaned by the tutor one by one. Although this kind of grass flakes are also easy to cook, it is difficult to cook them thoroughly without a high enough flame temperature or long-term steaming. This furnace has been sealed, and only half of it can be cooked later, is it to wait for the giant tooth grass to be fired, and then open the stone furnace to burn the matsutake mushrooms that have been cold?

Of course, the students' worries were still unnecessary, Tutor Elinda placed the megalodon on top of the steel pot and spread it flat, and the thin flame grilling was not the real purpose of Tutor Eliinda, she placed the long-stemmed vines and matsutake mushrooms on the side into the megalodon, and then used a knife to cut off a thin strip of butter and placed it in the center.

She began to slowly roll up the leaves. Under this low temperature, butter naturally does not melt and melt, which is why Mentor Elinda turned the flame down. Originally, it was made to make rolls, but isn't it difficult to burn through the megalodon?

In terms of these production steps, you should also burn the megalodon first, and then burn the others.

The others are fired quickly, and when they are wrapped, they are also fast.

However, seeing Tutor Eliinda's operation and the previous control, some students have already understood Tutor Elinda's purpose and production process, but they did not speak immediately, and quietly watched the tutor's skillful operation.

After wrapping all the ingredients inside, Tutor Elinda knew that such a faint flame would not make the megalodon fully cooked, so once again, her fingers rose a beautiful red flame through the gap in the center of the megalodon's package!

Megalodon turns into a translucent color in an instant, and the sap is slowly dialysed out by the high temperature. The butter melts at the same time, and the ingredients inside become one!
