Chapter 224: Otherworldly Mountain Flavor Pot (Medium)

"Baoshan Flying Dragon Pot".

According to Xia Yan's memory and understanding, it is composed of three parts: "soup", "mountain delicacies" and "balls".

The "meatballs" part, because it can only be used locally, has been changed from shrimp meat and shrimp balls to pork and pig balls.

Xia Yan put the casserole on the earthen stove, but he was not in a hurry to raise the fire, but was interested, circled around the huge wild boar carcass, and Tatsugoro, who was wiping the katana, saw this, stood up and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

Xia Yan shook his head, glanced at the fatal injury of the wild boar, sighed, and shook his head again, "In this way, it is impossible to 'bleed' or something." ”

Dead pigs, apparently impossible to reverse the process, back to slaughter incidentally bloodletting.

He gestured to Tatsugoro, who had already walked over, to the area of the boar's back:

"Help me cut this part of the meat."

Tatsugoro wondered, "As long as it's here?" What about the others? ”

"Yes."

"Here, it's called 'tenderloin', and it's the same thing when it is put on pigs and cows, it is the most tender meat on livestock, and it won't taste too bad no matter how you do it."

After delineating the ingredients used in the "meatballs" part, Xia Yan clapped his hands, returned to the bonfire, and began to take a small knife to carefully process some mushrooms, such as scratching a 'cross knife' on the umbrella surface or something, which is easy to cook and taste.

Sarah, a female treasure hunter, acts as a narrator and assistant chef in the process.

Xia Yan listened to her talk about certain mushrooms, how the people of the other world handled and ate them, and she was listening to a class to increase her knowledge of ingredients in the other world, and at the same time, the experience bar was still rising.

With such a visible learning gain, Xia Yan listened carefully while slowing down the pace of processing, and there was no trace of boredom in his heart.

"Well, 'Elf Mushrooms' are one of the few 'mountain delicacies' that can be eaten directly when thrown into a pot and boiled in water, no wonder they will become the staple food of the elven civilization in the past."

By this time, the sun had sunk nearly halfway into the horizon, and the sky was changing from dusk to night.

In the center of the camp, there was a bonfire, and on a few stones were lanterns taken out by the 'Great Sage' Aldorus with a wave of his hand, which was completely sufficient to illuminate the surrounding area as bright as day.

Bang!

The casserole was filled with "mountain treasures" and once again placed on the earthen stove.

The 'Great Sage' and 'Admiral', who had been waiting for a long time, found that there were at least six or seven kinds of mushrooms and wild vegetables neatly arranged in the pot.

Layer upon layer.

Strip-shaped, crown-shaped, cut into strips, and sliced at the bottom.

Although there are many ingredients, it gives people the first impression of being neat and splendid, rather than the poor visual experience of a big pot of simmering.

"Hey, that's what it's called plating, right?"

Aldorus, who has been a loyal guest of the 'Cat House' since the first generation, immediately pointed out the "rules" of arranging and piling up in the pot, which is actually not a secret, this is the basic course that any student of the far moon must learn.

"Plating?"

Picking up Tatsugoro, who was carrying the bloody pork pieces with his ribs, he stopped and looked suspicious.

The 'admiral', who was sitting not far from Aldorus, couldn't help but be confused, glared at him and said dissatisfiedly: "Aldorus, if you want to say it, you can finish it!" Don't say half the story! ”

As for the female treasure hunter Sarah Gerdo, among these old men in the cat house who are scared to death with their resumes, they can't be more tender, strictly speaking, she hasn't eaten at the cat house for more than a month.

Therefore, Sarah is also very curious about the plating or something: "Is this the term and noun of 'cooking class' in the mouth of Store Manager Xia?" ”

Belch.

She suddenly realized that the title of "Store Manager Xia" was a leak of important information about her employer, and immediately covered her mouth and cast a pitiful look of apology to Xia Yan.

As if he had not heard, Aldorus continued to smile and explain:

"The first generation of the cat house once taught me the lesson of 'plating'."

"He said that in Western restaurants and foreign restaurants, no matter whether the food can be made delicious or not, at least the 'plating' must be done to a certain level."

"The more noble and elegant, the more attractive it is."

Xia Yan complained, what nonsense is the truth, in the operation of a modern restaurant, it is not only Western food, but also afraid of the deep alley, if you don't do enough "skin" work, then you can't even attract guests.

Grunt!

The red-hot charcoal and firewood were stuffed into the earthen stove, and the boiling sound gradually came out of the water inside the casserole.

"It's cooking 'soup'!"

Taking the pork loin cut by Tatsugoro to the side of the stream and washing the blood, Xia Yan directly skipped the step of plucking and roasting pig hair, took out a shiny long knife, cut off the skin fat and cut out the outer skin.

He only wanted the lean meat of the wild boar, not a trace of fat.

Next, it's time to swing the knife and chop the meat.

Chop!

Knock knock!

The wooden board was placed on the neat stones, Xia Yan held two knives, and his arms were so fast that only the afterimage remained.

Witness the scene.

His Excellency the Great Sage, who was still calmly telling Sarah, Tatsugoro, and Alphonse the story of the first "plating", swept his eyes over, and his words suddenly froze.

Sarah, Tatsugoro, and Alphonse were also silent for a while.

"He's not like a foodie at all." The famous sea monster killer, the 'admiral' of the principality, Alphonse, had a strong look of surprise in his eyes, "I believe you when you say he is a swordsman!" ”

Everyone present, among the ordinary people, has a collective title - [professional].

So, from their point of view.

Naturally, it can be seen that such a 'knife technique' with both speed and precision is like a kitchen knife skill in the ordinary sense, if the object of the knife is not a piece of dead meat, but a living person or monster, the power cannot be underestimated!

Let alone.

The "long knife" in Xia Yan's hand is more delicate and sharp than ordinary kitchenware, not ordinary.

"In my hometown, the Western Continent, there is a country of sand, where there are abundant swordsmen, and their weapons are scimitars." Tatsugoro said suddenly.

Sarah Gerdo cast her expectant gaze at the 'great sage' Aldorus:

"Your Excellency the Great Sage."

"That first generation must have mastered a similar 'sword technique', or even more powerful, and he is a powerful swordsman and professional himself?"

Hearing this, Aldorus's lips trembled.

He didn't know how to respond to the expectations of the female treasure hunter.

I don't know how to answer.

In fact, that first generation is an ordinary person? Unremarkable?

Anyway, in any case, the chefs and store managers of the cat house have never been able to hold a long knife of astonishing size, and use the magical knife technique that was unanimously judged to be "terrifying" by the two warrior professionals of Tatsugoro and Alphons.

Meanwhile.

Aldorus also had great doubts about his already firm judgment, "This young boy, is it or not?" ”

"He's the new head chef at Cathouse...... Right? ”

Xia Yan here.

Chop the lean meat of the wild boar and chop it, then continue to chop some delicious mushrooms, two strands of puree in a stainless steel cooking basin, mix evenly, and then sprinkle seasoning spices.

Well, just use that formula.

Xia Yan thought.
