Chapter 19: Azeroth Cooking

Delicacies! Cooking!

Since crossing Azeroth, Ares has always longed to one day be able to cook such a meal with his own hands, in the past, in the game, Ares always travels around the world, real travel, see the beautiful scenery everywhere, do all kinds of cooking, improve cooking points, the group of roommates in the college dormitory always say that your sister is a waste of point cards, and don't fight with us to brush the battlefield, but Ares just likes to do what he wants, and even sometimes runs to the secluded shore of the Silver Pine Forest by himself, sits on the reef by the coast, and fishes quietly. Listen to the sound of the waves crashing against the reef and watch the sunset set over the sea. That life is leisurely, comfortable and beautiful.

Ares still remembers that there was no Panda Man Instant Cooking Book at that time, practicing cooking, he could only look for ingredients little by little, of course, the local tyrant could brush the auction, but Ares was not a local tyrant, so he could only do it himself. At that time, the price of a group of yellowtail was even more expensive than a group of ore. As a result, Ares always swapped a bag full of yellowtail for a full amount of gold coins after an afternoon of leisure.

And now, in front of Ares, there is a pile of hearty ingredients. Fatty tender bear meat, goat ribs, wild eggs (wild eggs), black-clawed crayfish, and the most classic is the charcoal-grilled black-bellied spider meat. Ares didn't know how the Scarlet Soldiers had obtained the ingredients in the plague-ridden lands, and perhaps there were always some unpolluted places.

First of all, the tender bear meat and goat ribs, which Ares boiled in boiling water and passed through the water to squeeze out the blood from the meat and bones to remove the fishy smell. The washed meat pieces are then placed on a wire mesh and grilled over charcoal, with spices and salt. The most original barbecue, the most original ingredients, the real game, is by no means domestic. Halfway through the barbecue, the aroma is already blowing in the face, and the grease drips into the fire, making a sizzling sound.

Ares cracked the eggs into a small egg, about the size of a bird's egg, poured the yolk and egg whites into the piping hot canola oil, and sprinkled with chopped green onions and salt, and the egg whites and yolks solidified into a delicious mass of scrambled eggs in the pan, exuding a burst of fragrant egg aroma.

For those crayfish, Ares first put the peppers and spices in the pot and stir-fry until the pan has a pungent spicy smell, and then put the crayfish in the pot and stir-fry, while adding dwarf beer, salt, and a little sugar. Let them boil in the pot and let the flavor of the condiment seep into the meat of the crayfish. Due to the very hard flesh of black-clawed crayfish, this dish takes longer to cook.

There's also the charcoal-grilled spider, yes, the most Azeroth-inspired dish. In the past, it was said that Ares was given a million, and Ares was not willing to eat this insect. But here, spiders have become one of the favorite delicacies of man. The size of the black-bellied spider is about the same size as the palm of a human hand, because it hunts on its own strength, so it is particularly muscular, and the legs of the eight worms are very thick, unlike those spiders that rely on spiders to hunt on spiders, and the legs and feet are as thin as mosquitoes.

At first glance, the black-bellied spider looks like a large crab in the sea, except that it is very dark in color, has a disgusting head, has eight compound eyes, and has body hair all over the body. But according to the Scarlet Crusader soldiers, the spider is not venomous, and the meat is very delicious.

Ares watched as they dealt with these live spiders, yes, still alive...... The Scarlet Chef skillfully pierced a silver needle through the spider's head, and the big men quickly stopped struggling and lay on the ground as if they were paralyzed. The chefs then wring off the spider's head, peeling open the carapace on its back, hollowing out the bodily fluids and organs inside. Then it was washed with water, and the whole spider lay on the ground with its feet facing the sky.

At this point, as with all cooking procedures, the Scarlet Chefs sprinkled flour and salt evenly on the black-bellied spiders. Then take it to the pan and fry it.

The flour-coated spider flesh touched the hot oil, and immediately there was a crackling sound, which was the sound of spider shells bursting. According to the Scarlet Crusader veteran, the black-bellied spider mainly eats that kind of crispiness. As you can imagine, Ares is the equivalent of fried chicken wings, eating the skin and the tender meat inside. The chest muscles, which are the thickest of spider meat, are often discarded, because the place is very difficult to blow through, and there is a strong sour smell.

In the field camp, Ares ate the first Azeroth game feast since he crossed over, especially the black-bellied spider meat, which was simply the best in the world. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious, there is a numb and spicy feeling when you bite into it, as long as you forget that they are spiders, the taste is absolutely invincible.

The abundance of Azeroth's products was beyond Ares' expectations. In just one afternoon, the game caught by the hunting team was enough for hundreds of people to eat happily. And there was a leftover, those bones, which became a delicacy for the bloodhounds.

"Brother, I really can't imagine that in the era of natural disasters, there can still be such a product here, and in the old days, what kind of prosperous scene it would have been."

As night fell, lying by the fire, Ares and Drumm sighed.

"Are you here for the first time? Brothers? You must know that before the slaughter of the Scourge in Alsace, the kingdom of Lordaeron was the richest place in all of Azeroth, with the most fertile land, the farmer only needed to sow seeds once a year, and in the autumn, the harvest was enough for the whole family to survive the long winter, and the extra grain could be exchanged for all kinds of daily necessities, and in Lordaeron, in the Valley of the Hearth, in Andorhar, you could hardly see beggars and poor, and there were no malnourished people. Of course, this was in the past. ”

Drumm holds a reed pole in his mouth and proudly introduces his hometown.

Of course, this is from the perspective of an indigenous person, and Ares knows that Lordaeron is by no means the richest place in all of Azeroth. The sea kingdom of Kurtiras is rich in pearls and has a well-developed fishing industry. The Oakland Valley is rich in ore resources. The kingdom of Gilneth is rich in medicinal herbs. In the southern kingdom of Stormwind, animal husbandry and forestry are well developed. Of course, Drumm didn't know all this, and even if he knew, he knew a little bit about it, after the outbreak of the natural plague, the trade between the other kingdoms and Lordaeron was almost interrupted. The docks of the Tifaris Glade, the merchant ships of Kurtilas, the trails of the Silver Pines, the convoys of Gilneth are no more.
