Chapter Seventy-Seven: Finding the Ingredients of the Ice Mushroom Forest: Part II
At the junction of the eastern and northern parts of the forest, it is like a tropical forest, with a large field of tall and slender coconut trees, the trunk of which is about 50 meters high, and the leaves that look like feathers extend from the treetops, and the slender leaves are about 10 meters long, and the leaves are full of green round coconut fruits, giving off a fruity aroma mixed with the taste of fine wine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"There are ancient coconuts here, and I heard that the coconut water in it contains alcohol, which can be used as a drink like wine, and it can be taken home and drunk as wine. Anno sat on top of the dragonfly and pointed to the bunches of turquoise coconut fruits.
"Then let's go and pick it, but fortunately we have this big dragonfly, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to pick coconuts that high. Said Seater.
They let the dragonfly lean to the top of the coconut tree, then opened the dimensional bag that Coltrow had given them, plucked the coconut, and put it in the bag.
"About 8 is enough, one can be enough for two or three people to drink, besides, you girls shouldn't like to drink very much. Seite quipped.
"Not necessarily, I've heard that Senior Sister Tilzer not only likes to drink, but also drinks a good amount of wine, and she can't pour a thousand glasses. Anno said with a smile.
The big-tailed dragonfly flew to the west, where there is a white mushroom forest, the round mushrooms are not only white and flawless, but also about 1 meter high, which is simply a rare giant mushroom, like a white umbrella that is stretched out.
"This mushroom is very beautiful, it should be a giant white mushroom, and we picked it back as an ingredient. Anno said, pointing to the giant white mushroom.
The big-tailed dragonfly landed in the mushroom forest, and Anno and Seit walked over and used a giant shovel in the dimensional bag to dig out the white mushroom.
About 50 meters away from the white mushroom, there is a large tall green aloe vera, the huge aloe vera leaves are not only very full, the thorny edges are as sharp and tough as a saw, and the height of the aloe vera is more than 1 meter high, like a large tree with lush leaves.
"This should be the aloe vera recorded in the ancient books, compared to ordinary aloe vera, this aloe vera can treat all kinds of wounds, whether it is a traumatic injury or a wound caused by fire or ice and snow, it can be treated, we take some back and use it as medicine during training. β
Anno said.
"You know everything, that's amazing. Seite said with some admiration.
"On the seventh floor of the library, there are a lot of such ancient books, and I saw them there before. Anno said modestly.
"But we have very few ingredients now, no ginger, no herbs, no chili. Seite said in a daze, his thick eyebrows wrinkled together like ink.
"It is recorded in ancient books that the Ice Mushroom Forest is a natural forest that has not been developed by anyone, and there are many kinds of creatures in it, so we might as well look for it again. β
Anno encouraged Sit.
The aloe vera grove used to be about 1 kilometre away and is simply a colorful vegetable garden with never-before-seen vegetables and fruits from Anno and Sit.
It is a paradise created by God, with corn bearing on the tall corn stalks, and red corn wrapped in tender green corn leaves, in addition to red corn, there are also sky blue corn and cherry pink corn, which is beautiful. Next door to the corn field are colorful vegetables, bright red cabbage like red glow, slender blue leeks, purple cucumber-like melons and fruits between the soft melon vines, and tall and lush apple trees with pink apples, exuding a strong sweet smell of apples. Aqua blue celery, a sharp and thin red pepper about 30 centimeters long, orange pepper like a round lantern, and a dark green bell pepper. The golden vegetables, which are about 20 centimeters tall and look like cabbage, give off the color of golden sunlight. There is also a golden strawberry about 10 centimeters in size, with green pedicle leaves and round and full golden berries, which sparkle like golden crystals.
"There are so many colorful fruits and vegetables here, it's really rare, Sit, let's quickly pick a bag and go back, I guess we can eat it for a month. β
Anno said happily.
"Aren't these poisonous, I don't usually see such things. Seite said a little worriedly.
"No, don't be uncommon and strange, these are the primeval races recorded in the ancient books, although they look different from what they usually see, but in fact, the taste is more delicious than usual. Anno said, in order to dispel Sit's concerns.
"Today's harvest is a lot, we have to pick up some more branches, by the way to see if we can find some dinosaur eggs and Archaeopteryx eggs, and go back to make egg drop soup and egg cakes. β
Anno said, with a smile on his lips that could not be hidden.
"You complete foodie, if Master Throsel knew, I don't know what I would say that I didn't take you well. Seite said helplessly.
As for the boys' team, "Senior Sedgwick, let's wait a moment to find some ingredients." Anse asked anxiously, for most of the day, he didn't see a single land creature, could it be dusk, they hid.
"We're not in a hurry, wait a moment and take a slow look, if it's a large Tyrannosaurus rex and tyrannosaurus rex, we'd better not provoke them, these murderous and cunning, if you want to capture them, it is estimated that it will take a lot of effort, my suggestion is that we catch a few velociraptors, an emperor crocodile, a plesiosaurus, and by the way, catch an ancient turtle back." β
For the current situation in the forest, if a Tyrannosaurus rex were captured, it would be like burying them in the dragon's mouth.
"But if we want to capture these beasts again, it will inevitably consume more physical strength and magic power, which is very disadvantageous for us now, Otel. β
Zink, who was sitting behind him, said that if he came to capture a few dinosaurs now, although he himself had preserved his physical strength and magic power, the freshmen and Ottel were exhausted, and if danger came, he, the only boy with full physical strength and magic power, still needed to resist the enemy.
"Don't worry, I still have a tranquilizer gun in my backpack that can be used to deal with small dinosaurs, as long as it's not a super dinosaur, I'm not afraid of these little monsters." β
Ottel said with a smile, looking unconcerned about what Zink had said.
As they flew to the south, near the river, several light and agile velociraptors walked on the ground, their slender bodies about 2 meters long appeared to be very agile and agile, their open mouths showing jagged teeth, curved sharp claws growing under their necks, scythe-like toes growing on their legs, and their strong tails were thin and long, like a nimble whip.
"Are you sure these are edible, Otel?" said Zink, somewhat incredulous.
"Yes, the ancient book says that these are delicious, compared to the usual poultry food, it is even better, you can use it to make dragon soup, dragon meat stewed mushrooms, potato stewed dragon meat, green pepper dragon meat shredded, braised dragon meat, steamed dragon meat, the taste is very delicious. Otel said.
"Sounds good, but we boys don't know how to cook. Even if you have the ingredients, it's useless if you don't know how to cook. Zink said a little helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Miss Cortrow will have a way. Ottel said with a smile.
Ottel took out a pistol-like weapon from his backpack, a new super tranquilizer gun from Alice's magic shop, which could anesthetize a 2-meter-tall velociraptor with a single shot. The tranquilizer shot out a spherical needle filled with red liquid, which then dispersed at a torrential speed and landed on the velociraptor walking on the ground, only to see them let out a wail and fall to the ground.
Clio and Anse found a large crocodile crawling on the bank of the creek, which was actually an emperor crocodile.
The body length of the emperor crocodile is about 10 meters, the slightly open mouth of the blood basin is densely covered with tough conical teeth, a powerful jaw, thick skin covered with scale armor, like the hard armor of a knight, the short legs are covered with webbed crocodile claws, and the long and thick crocodile tail is as strong and powerful as a hard steel whip.
"This should be the emperor crocodile recorded in the ancient book in the library, although we can't take it closely, but I can use thunder and lightning to form a power grid in the air, and then numb it to electricity. Clio said with gusto.
"Clio, I didn't expect you to go to the library during your usual self-study time to gain so much, and you actually knew about the existence of this emperor crocodile. Anse said with a look of adoration.
"Now that I'm using thunder and lightning magic, you have to be careful, or the lightning on my body will reach you. Clio laughed and said that he was actually lying to Anse.
Clio crossed his hands in front of his chest, and the purple gem ring on his right hand pointed at the clouds, and from the clouds began to emit purple-blue electric light, dozens of thunderbolts that were enough to destroy the earth formed a huge power grid, only to see countless lightning bolts in the sky emitting purple-blue brilliance, falling on the top of the stream was crawling leisurely Emperor Crocodile, and instantly the Emperor Crocodile was stunned by the powerful electricity. The voltage formed in Clio's hands is about a million volts.
Anse couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw that Clio was able to unleash such a powerful voltage magic, and they were also freshmen who had just entered.
Ottel and Zink found a plesiosaur floating on the lake, a plesiosaur about 15 meters long, with a slender head, a slender neck like a nimble cobra, a wide and flat body like a sea turtle, and a body surrounded by huge flippers like oars, and in contrast to the slender neck, the plesiosaur's tail was relatively short.
"This is the plesiosaur that can live in lakes and land to lay eggs, compared to those hard flesh Tyrannosaurus rex, plesiosaur meat is softer, temperament is milder, plesiosaur meat can be used for cooking, can be made into braised dragon meat, pineapple fried dragon meat, boiled dragon meat, curry dragon meat rice, dragon porridge, taro roasted dragon meat. β
Ottel explained, and Zink next to him looked incredulous.
"Then how are you going to submit the plesiosaur? "Zink was curious to know how Otel cleaned up the plesiosaur.
"The old way, anesthetic, but a large dose of anesthetic, but it's Dr. Hyland's latest red anesthetic. Ottel said with an eyebrow raised.
As with the Velociraptor he had just captured, Ottel loaded the chamber of the tranquilizer gun with a red narcotic injection that burned like blood.
The launched anesthetic fell on the plesiosaur's body, and the plesiosaur struggled a few times before fainting.
In another place, there is a giant ancient sea turtle swimming on the sea, the giant sea *** with a length of about 3 meters has a pair of small eyes, and the body does not carry a heavy carapace like an ordinary turtle, but is covered by a layer of skin as hard as leather covering the entire round back, and wide limbs grow around the body, which is floating on the surface of the sea.
"This should be the ancient turtle that Senior Sedgwick said, the ancient book records that it does not have a hard turtle shell, if it is used in the dish, it can be used to make ancient turtle soup, which can treat physical weakness, and now Senior Locknan and Seth are seriously injured, and they need an ancient turtle to nourish their bodies. β
Clio said, holding a black magic telescope in his hand.
"It's amazing that you even know about such creatures. Anse said with a glint of adoration in his eyes.
"How do you catch the ancient turtle and go back, Clio. Anse asked.
"The old way, use the power grid, but because it doesn't need to use a million volts like the emperor crocodile, 100,000 volts is enough. β
Clio said.
He raised the purple gem ring between the middle finger of his right hand and lightly pointed at the seawater, forming a purple-blue electric light in the air, and a 100,000-volt power grid spread out overwhelmingly, falling on the floating ancient sea turtle.
After the sea water around the ancient turtle encountered lightning, a deadly place was formed between the lightning and the seawater, and the ancient turtle was instantly struck by a powerful electric current through its body.
"Look, that's fine. Clio said.
"But I'm kind of craving for egg cakes and egg drop soup, but there's no such thing as eggs in this forest, and you're catching some weird things, and I'm afraid I'll not be able to eat them. Anse said with a frown, after all, he still couldn't whet his appetite for such a huge beast turned into something edible.
"There are no eggs, but we can look for dinosaur eggs, and of course I know you should be scared, so I have to look for dinosaur eggs and Archaeopteryx eggs. β
Clio patted Anse and smiled.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to gather the ingredients, and the girls' team led by Kotrow was the first to return to the gathering place, and Anno and Seite also brought the things they had collected.
"Anno, what ingredients did you find, did you find some vegetables and branches? β
Curtrow walked over and asked.
"Kotlow, you can rest assured, not only have we found a lot of branches, but we have also found a large field of colorful vegetables, you see, there are pink corn, blue leeks, purple gourds, golden strawberries, red cabbage, sky blue celery, and many more, ginger, shallots, and rice, we have found white mushrooms more than a meter high, aloe vera more than a meter high. β
Anno happily opened her dimensional bag, which was filled with vegetables and fruits dyed with paint.
"It's so rare, there are pink corn, golden strawberries, and white mushrooms that are so tall. As a botanical enthusiast, Norri exclaimed.
"What did you find, didn't you say looking for a sea beast?" Anno wondered what the Cortrow were looking for.
"There are so big crabs, giant shrimp, and super huge squid and sea fish, you guys are amazing. Anno said with emotion. Inside the ice mushroom forest, it was really an eye-opener.
"I really want to eat these things now. Doss said as he ran over and salivated.
"But we don't know how to cook, who will cook these. Anno asked.
"I heard that Ruyue's cooking skills are superb, and my own cooking skills are okay, you can help by the side later, don't worry about the rest." β
Kirtrow said confidently.
"We're back, and we've come back with a lot of beasts. Zink said loudly.
"We caught six velociraptors, a plesiosaur, Clio they caught an emperor crocodile, an ancient turtle, five dinosaur eggs, and ten Archaeopteryx eggs. β
Ottel said with a smile, today is really a bumper harvest.
"However, we forgot to collect some fresh water and seawater to make salt flowers, what will we do in a while. "Kotrow realized that he had forgotten this important thing.
"Senior Sister Cotrow, you are too worried, just now I have used the crystal bottle you gave me to fill about a month's worth of fresh water, and when I caught the ancient turtles, I collected some seawater by the way. Clio walked out and said, handing a water bottle carved from crystal about a liter to CΓ΄trow.
Although it looks like only one liter, it can actually hold about 10,000 tons of fresh water, which is a very magical bottle.
"Okay, now I'll talk about our division of labor, you boys are responsible for slaughtering those velociraptors and emperor crocodiles, the sea ** will remove the shells for you, and we girls are divided into teams, one team is responsible for washing vegetables and meat, one team is responsible for cutting into small pieces, and one team is responsible for cooking, so the division of labor is very clear and easier to carry out, do you agree?"
There were hardly any opinions on the spot.
"Zink and I are more daring, slaughter the dinosaurs and leave it to the two of us, Cleo and Anse, you are responsible for removing the shell of the sea beast, and Seite is responsible for chopping wood, after all, it is the amount of cooking so many people. Ottel said to the boys, because Tress and Seth were injured and had no strength to get up and work.
"No problem, Sedgwick senior, remove the shell, I think Anse and I should be more proficient. Clio said with a smile, especially Anse, a boy who grew up in a fishing village, knows best how to deal with sea fish. And Seit agrees to chop wood.
"Anno and Sister Tilzer, if you two are not proficient in cooking, you can wash the vegetables and meat, Norri and Tiffany are responsible for cutting vegetables and meat, and Mavis and I are good at cooking and are responsible for cooking, as for Doss, you can help dry the sea water into salt flowers, do you have any comments. Curtrow said, looking at the girl.
The girls nodded.
With a large knife, Ottel and Zinke used all their strength to clean up the velociraptor and plesiosaur into pieces of meat, and then cleaned up an emperor crocodile and an ancient sea turtle.
Cleo and Anse cut off the legs of the king crab shell with a pair of scissors, and the odd shrimp used large scissors to cut off the head and tail of the shrimp, and then peeled off the shell.
The king squid soaked in the potion and cut off his dancing tentacles, or the tentacles would hit Cleo and Anse.
The lungfish was so large that Anse stood on top of its body and used his large knife to cut off the head and tail, and it took a lot of effort for the scales and Clio to scrape off the scales.
Anno and Tilzer were responsible for taking the vegetables and fruits that were stained with a lot of mud to a nearby creek to be cleaned, and for Anno, who was born in the aristocracy, and for the indifferent Tilzer, he washed vegetables for the first time in his life.
"I didn't expect that I would become a cook before I got married. Anno said with a smile in her hand, holding a pink corn in her hand, peeling off the husk and corn whiskers, washing it back and forth in the river.
"Such a troublesome thing actually fell on me, but as a member of the training, there is no reason to refuse such a troublesome thing. β
Tilzer said expressionlessly, holding a giant white mushroom stained with mud in her hand.
"Norri, how do you cut this squid, I've never cut anything like this. Tiffany said a little at a loss, growing up in the palace, how could she know how to cut vegetables and meat.
"No, you don't know how to cut things, I'll teach you, this squid has to be cut like this, its meat is tougher, so you have to cut it slowly, don't worry, just follow me." Norri demonstrates how to cut squid on a cutting board.
However, it was still Noorriche who was more present, and Tiffany was just there to help.
Doss was in charge of putting the seawater on top of a leaf, and after being exposed to the sun, it suddenly turned into crystal clear salt crystals.
"Ruyue, you are a good cook, then you are responsible for frying these dinosaur meats, and I will be responsible for stewing soup and steaming sea beasts, and we will slowly think about how to do the rest." β
Kirtlow and Mavis said.
Mavis nodded in agreement.
Because there are a lot of people eating, two people are responsible for cooking the portions of twelve students, which is simply a huge project.
