At eight o'clock in the evening of August 4, 1818, a time destined to go down in history.

This is the enlightenment of the world, the birth of a star in the culinary world, and the first time that the solitary king of the dark culinary world takes charge!

……

For this cooking, Su Xian made a lot of preparations, from basic cooking knowledge to the purchase of ingredients, to the analysis of recipes, everything was under control.

Because Brut is a coastal city, seafood such as fish and shellfish is relatively cheap, while meat such as beef and mutton is relatively expensive, so the most common meat on the table of ordinary people is fish.

In addition to this, eggs are often used as a substitute for meat.

Eggs are a very popular ingredient.

When the breakfast culture gradually became popular, one egg per meal became a habit for almost some nobles.

Hard-boiled eggs and poached eggs are all available.

The first food Su Xian was going to try to cook tonight was poached eggs.

One of the biggest features of poached eggs is that before you start, you must first make a fire.

Smoke from the flames drifted out of the house through the vents.

He first took out the frying pan of the defensive artifact, and when the pot was hot, he poured some oil into it.

There are no precautions, as long as you don't put too much of it.

He then sprinkled a little salt into the pan to keep the eggs from sticking.

Shake the pan again to make the oil even.

And then it's time to beat the eggs.

Beat the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit in a daze.

When one side is cooked, use a spatula to turn it over to the other.

Stay in a daze for a while.

A poached egg is fried.

Too easy.

Su Xian smelled the rich aroma of eggs, turned off the fire, took a plate, and put the poached eggs on the plate.

"It's not hard."

Thinking so, he picked up the poached egg, placed it on the small table behind him, then took a knife and fork, fixed it with a fork, cut it with a knife, cut a small piece from the poached egg, and forked it up and put it in his mouth.

"I hope that this four-star kitchenware can really improve the physique."

Before entering, he quietly made a wish.

And after the entrance, he found that his wish had come true.

The poached egg swallowed into the stomach did show some effect, and an indescribable sensation spread around the stomach, bathing the whole body in a faint warmth.

But almost at the same time, the residual flavor in the mouth began to ferment, and what was originally a salty orthodox poached egg flavor suddenly turned into a strange sweetness, obviously without sugar, but incredibly sweet!

Before he could be surprised, the sweetness went bad again.

The bitter taste, which is even more unacceptable than traditional Chinese medicine, broke out in an instant!

"Gross!"

Su Xian subconsciously covered his throat and retched.

……

"He succeeded and he failed. That's what it meant...... Isn't this the best embodiment of the bitterness of good medicine? ”

Looking at the first-of-the-art work that looked great on the plate, Su Xian was stunned.

But when he gritted his teeth, he picked up a poached egg and put it in his mouth.

This time, he was ready to endure extreme suffering, just to improve his physique and make himself more calm in the next crisis.

But what followed was a terrifying spicy smell that was as strong as fire!

It's really spicy!

He puffed out his mouth, pinched his neck, and began to frantically search for water to drink......

What's even more terrifying is that this horrible taste stimulation does not disappear after getting through, they will leave an aftertaste in the mouth for a long time.

It was so uncomfortable that he even wanted to use "Margaret's Muppet" and eat with Mahar's body, which had no sense of taste.

But if you think about it, eating the food in the mouth only starts to take effect after it is digested in the stomach, and it is obvious that it cannot benefit yourself with other bodies.

The idea died halfway through.

……

When he had recovered his strength, he looked at the poached egg lying quietly on the plate, and he didn't dare to be careless anymore as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Long pain is better than short pain, let's eat it in one bite!"

The moment he made his decision, he forked the remaining poached eggs whole, then shoved them into his mouth vigorously, chewed wildly, and swallowed them like a storm.

"Whew!"

As the warmth flowed all over the body, the ups and downs exploded instantly.

Stimulated by that gusto, his face almost turned the color of pork liver.

But I finally ate all the poached eggs.

Repeating in his mouth, "Eat hard in order to become a master", Su Xian closed his eyes and trembled in place for a long time, then turned around and started the cooking of the second poached egg......

If you want to succeed, you have to be cruel to yourself!

……

2nd poached egg, 3rd poached egg, 4th poached egg......

As he became more and more proficient in the omelette technique, he ate eggs faster and faster, but unfortunately this thing does not seem to have the term "taste fatigue", and each new poached egg is a new round of taste explosion, which makes people feel pain and happiness.

But the "God of War's Kitchenware" does play a role, and he can feel his physique changing little by little.

This power does not seem to come from the poached egg itself, but in the process of cooking, the kitchenware introduces some mysterious power into the poached egg, which makes the poached egg have the effect of improving the physique.

And from the second poached egg onwards, the effect of improving physical fitness has dropped significantly.

But after that, he changed his way and made a "sugar-coated egg", and the effect of improving his physique suddenly returned!

It can be seen that it has little to do with the material of the poached egg itself, and it is based on the "dish".

However, this may also be due to the fact that the raw material of the poached egg itself is ordinary eggs, and if you change to a rare ingredient with extraordinary powers, you may be able to trigger the power of the ingredient itself to get a greater improvement.

By the way, fried poached eggs have no effect on improving physical fitness.

It feels like this set of "God of War's Kitchen Utensils (Pseudo)" is a "ritual" for the act of "cooking", and if the "food is successfully cooked", the "ritual" will be completed, and it will attract mysterious power and inject it into the food.

It is precisely because the food is infused with that power that the taste will spoil.

There are gains and losses.

However, the improvement effect of egg dishes is really limited, and it is somewhat inconsistent with its four-star rating.

……

In the end, Su Xian tried to make a bowl of egg noodles, which announced the end of this cooking experiment.

The first cooking is fresh.

Egg dishes are unpalatable.

The kitchenware effect is there.

The physique boost is real.

Although it is not obvious, it is a way to improve over time.

And that bowl of egg noodles once again broke through the taste of food in his heart.

After that, he cleaned up the kitchen utensils, rested for a while, changed into civilian clothes, put on gravity boots, and prepared to go out for a night run.

Running is not a particularly effective training method, but after eating so many egg dishes, he has always accumulated some undigested energy in his body, and by running at night to move his body, he can more or less dissipate this energy throughout his body, and finally make a small improvement in his physique.

No accumulation of steps can lead to thousands of miles.

This is no different from reading, it needs to be accumulated.

In order not to attract attention, he deliberately chose the remote road, and after a while, he ran out of the academy district and into the slightly chaotic surrounding area.

Gradually, some homeless people nested in the corner, middle-aged people who were stripped naked after getting drunk in the middle of the road, women hooking up with men in the shadows, stray dogs scouring for leftovers in garbage cans, and gangsters squatting in the corners and snickering...... All sorts of people and things appear on the road.

He stood out among them, but for some reason, no one came looking for trouble.

This is quite inconsistent with the atmosphere of Brut City.

"Are those hooligans learning to behave? Or do they know about me? ”

Su Xian thought about it, slowed down, and turned into a small path that led to the nearby Liuying Street.

It's full of dogs and horses, and there's chaos almost all the time.

Some gangsters would even squat out there, and when the hangover sheep came out of the store, they would pull them into a corner, touch them with their money, and sometimes punch them to vent.

This method has been used for an unknown number of years, but some people like to send it to their door.

When Su Xian approached the street, he unexpectedly met a drunk man who was being looted in the alley.

He wasn't ready to make a move, but the gangsters who were reaching into the drunk's clothes and groping around suddenly changed color after seeing his face clearly.

"It's Mark Guynon!"

The next moment, the group of wandering thugs dispersed in a hurry, fled in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Su Xian glanced at the drunk man who was gradually sliding to the ground, and finally knew it in his heart.

Don't look at those hooligans and gangsters who can't be on the table, but they are really well-informed, and Su Xian seems to have been labeled as "can't be provoked" in their eyes.

In unexpected places, he has become famous......

Su Xian shook his head and prepared to turn around and go back.

However, Ju was the last time he turned around, and he saw an unexpected person, and he couldn't help but stop.

In front of a storefront on Liuying Street, the three-eyed detective Mars Frank in a suit and leather shoes is slowly pacing in.

"Why is he here?"

Su Xian raised his eyebrows, and his eyes looked at the signboard of the store, "Red Kiss Bar".

The provocative décor and the bright red lip prints on the signboard give a good indication of what kind of bar it is.

With Mars's character, before marrying Alice, he might have come to this kind of place for recreation, but after getting married, he didn't dare to come again if he borrowed ten guts.

However, Alice is not by Mars's side now.

But if Mars is only a person of this level, Su Xian doesn't believe it.

He thought about it for a moment and was ready to follow up and take a look.

Although he doesn't have any money with him now......

But before stepping out of the trail, he paused and thought of something.

"Detective Kebei, will he be there too?"

In any case, Detective Corbean accepted his commission and became Mars's assistant.

If this is not what it seems, Detective Corbean should be in the same room as Mars.

"Is it disguised as the tramp he does best?"

Su Xian glanced at it, there were indeed a few homeless people on this street who put their hats at their feet and begged, but none of them carried the iconic travel bag of Detective Kebei.

In fact, Su Xian had discovered this fatal flaw in Detective Kebei long before - when he played the homeless man, he always carried that dirty travel bag.

"Maybe it's someone else."

Thinking of this, Su Xian bent down and picked up the gentleman's hat that the drunk man had dropped on the ground, took out the "Victoria's square scarf", wiped off the dirt on the hat, put on the hat, pressed down the brim, covered half of his face, and walked towards the "Red Lips Bar".

However, dazzling people, even if they wrap themselves in zongzi, can't hide the light that emanates from the center of their bodies.

Before he could enter the door of the bar, a beautiful lady who was about to enter suddenly turned around, stared at him enthusiastically for a moment, turned to him, and took his arm very naturally.

"Good evening, sir?"

"Good evening, beautiful lady."

Su Xian did not look restrained because of this, but showed half of his handsome face under the light, and smiled very gentlemanly.

The lady was even more pleasantly surprised when she saw his face, and pressed her chest tighter.

At this time, people who enter such a place, even women, have the same purpose as men.

Experienced ladies are very sensitive to the quality of clothing and the brand.

Spending a good night with someone with money is always more desirable than spending time with someone who doesn't.

……

In this way, Su Xian changed from one person to two people and entered the Red Lips Bar.

Of course, he couldn't have told the lady next to him that he was penniless now.

……

The bar was surprisingly noisy, with the gramophone spinning and playing ambiguous music, and the occasional obscenity coming from a dimly lit corner.

Men and women mingled, some blending into the background, some still testing each other at the bar.

When Su Xian and the beautiful lady stepped inside, they quickly glanced at it and found Mars through the crowd.

Mars looked a little decadent, his beard crumpled in a ball that had not been trimmed for many days, and tiredness and melancholy were written in his eyes.

But this temperament seemed to be a plus point for him, and soon after he sat down at the bar, a lady with heavy makeup approached him.

Su Xian took the lady beside him to the corner of the bar, and then ordered two of the store's signature cocktails.

"What do you call it?"

"Call me baby."

"Baby, I want to know your name more, even if it's just a freshman."

"Okay then, I'm Jenny, what about you?"

"Sue, you can call me Sue."

"Dear Sue, it must be the luck of my life to meet you tonight."

"Coincidentally, I think so too."

"You're so humorous."

"No, I'm telling the truth. I've always been an honest person. ”

Su Xian took a sip of his cocktail and casually dealt with Jenny while continuing to observe Mars.

Mars seemed calm and didn't rush to puncture his persona, but after a while, the lady with heavy makeup next to him seemed bored and raised her glass and left.

But soon another woman approached, and another round of temptation followed.
