Chapter 427: Demon?
The old dwarf's expression was astonished, as if it were not just ordinary eggs and tomatoes, but two other delicacies bestowed by the gods...... His eyes were full of amazement, as if he couldn't imagine that these two kinds of things that could be eaten almost everywhere could have such a wonderful taste.
"It's incredible. Although I know these are the ones I eat regularly, they taste completely different...... How to put it, it's a sea change...... It put my palate to the test, and even started to make me doubt the eggs and tomatoes I used to eat from time to time......"
The old dwarf squinted his eyes and said all kinds of praises in his mouth...... Ji Ran was a little embarrassed when he said it.
If it was simply scrambled tomatoes with eggs, it would never make this old dwarf feel this way...... This is a bonus to cooking skills. With hundreds of cooking skills, it can definitely make these most ordinary home-cooked dishes appear a change from the inside out.
"What you said, old man, is so good! This was the feeling we had when we first ate the meal made by Ji Ran, but we couldn't describe it at all. Like you said, a sea change! ”
Baker gave a thumbs up to the old dwarf on the side, but didn't stop at all from his movements against the steak in front of him. I have to say that the dishes made by the dwarven cooking masters have also reached the point of being superb, and the taste of those tender meat steaks and various sauces makes even Ji Ran salivate. Therefore, he is not idle now, and takes a plate and cuts the vegetables one by one, just like eating a buffet.
The old dwarf's words immediately piqued the curiosity of the culinary masters. One by one, they all ran over at once. began to work on these dishes made by Ji Ran - of course. Won't gobble. That way of eating is completely unsuitable for tasting the deliciousness of food, and cooking masters naturally don't make such mistakes.
Then, one by one, exclamations alternated.
"Sure enough, it's a taste that I've never tried before...... It turns out that if pork is treated like this, there will be such a change! This fatty but not greasy mouthfeel, the combined taste of sauce and salt...... It's just incredible! ”
"And this fish! How can fish steamed with water have this effect? This tender sensation...... And sashimi is a completely different taste. And the fragrance of this fish, which is almost 100% brought out......"
"This stew! It's as if all the essence has been stewed into the soup! These ordinary mushrooms, however, have a wonderful reaction in their bodies because they absorb these essences, making their taste incomparably delicious...... And these chickens. The aromatic smell is almost non-stop...... It's amazing! ”
It has to be said that the descriptions of these culinary masters are very exaggerated...... At least Ji Ran didn't think that his dishes could reach this point - unless he was acting in a live-action otherworldly version of "The Little Beep Master" or "The Beep Bread King" or something, there was no reason for people to cry with excitement......
But the current table of these culinary masters is really similar. One by one, they seemed to hold back their tears, usually the things that Ji Ran made. Although Ji Ran only made four dishes, each of these culinary masters tasted it...... That's half the way through those dishes.
The other dwarves were tasting as well, but not with such an exaggerated look. However, they were obviously also very satisfied with the dishes made by Ji Ran, because the four dishes that Ji Ran had deliberately increased in size were rapidly decreasing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye.
In comparison, these works of the Dwarven culinary masters are reduced much more slowly...... One reason is that the appetite of the people is not as great as that of the dwarves, and the other reason is that there are more than twenty dishes here...... Each one is a big portion!
That's right, the portions are generous, and that's a specialty of dwarven cuisine......
But everyone was very satisfied with what they ate. The dwarven dishes are a bit heavy in taste. There is a lot of oil and salt, but the taste is actually quite good. In Ji Ran's words. That's the next meal......
Moreover, the earnings of the dwarven cooking masters are not covered. The steak is tender and delicious, and the grilled fish is also full of flavor. Fresh mushroom soup and roasted cheese are also delicious.
The cooking master is worthy of being a cooking master, at least Ji Ran feels that if he doesn't use his cooking skills, the few home-cooked dishes he makes are just novelties, and they can't be compared with the craftsmanship of the cooking master at all. The zuò dishes made by these master chefs do not add special attributes, but they are quite a wonderful treat. At least for the dwarves, the master chef and the master brewer are objects that can be respected by the dwarves on the same basis as the mighty warriors......
"Lost, we lost."
After tasting all the food Ji Ran had made, the Redbeard Cooking Master shook his head, sighed, and then grabbed the last remaining chicken paw and nibbled on it......
"Well, these delicacies completely break our previous notions. We always thought that our cooking skills had reached a peak and that there was absolutely no way forward. And now we realize that the culinary skills are really profound, and there is a wider road ahead for us to explore......"
The master of braided cooking also sighed and picked up the fish head......
"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you say, it's just another novel cooking method. I've also gotten a lot of inspiration from the masters, for example, these sauces, they are very delicious, and most importantly, I feel that they are suitable for many kinds of foods...... It can be said to be an all-purpose sauce. ”
Ji Ran was also modest at the right time, after all, it was an equal and friendly exchange.
"Sure enough, it's a human who can make this dish! You're right, these sauces have been painstakingly developed by us so that they can be eaten with all foods...... It's not there yet, but it's pretty good. Speaking of which, your culinary skills have definitely reached the realm of mastery...... Maybe it's not far from the Grandmaster realm. I really want to thank you this time, otherwise, we probably don't know how long we will have to drill into a dead end! ”
Another culinary master waved the spoon in his hand and looked at Ji Ran's face with a smile on his face.
"No thanks, I didn't do anything, it was just a friendly exchange of cooking skills...... Besides, it was Mike Sr. who introduced me here. I have to say, it really opened my eyes. ”
Ji Ran said very sincerely. Of course, this is also in his heart, in fact, the cooking skills of the game are naturally oriental...... It's a fairy game. And in this world, the method of cooking is closer to the West - and it is the ancient West. He hadn't been in contact with any other culinary masters, and the shock brought to him by a few dwarven culinary masters was quite impressive.
Don't look down on any civilization...... Any skill that has reached the level of a master should not be underestimated. At least these foods, if put into his original world, can definitely reach the level of the world's top chefs.
The exchange was obviously very friendly, and it naturally developed into a banquet in the end. The culinary masters and Ji Ran both remade a few dishes to meet the needs of this banquet.
And Ji Ran naturally took out a lot of good wine, including amber light and Erguotou, as well as high-quality Erguotou - this is the high-quality wine he personally spent time brewing with the best materials, and the relationship with Erguotou is almost equivalent to the difference between amber light and amber wine. In addition, some fruit wine was also taken out by him...... Dwarves are masters of wine tasting, and even if they don't like it that much, they can tell the difference between good and bad wine.
Then, the wine Ji Ran gave them shocked them again.
"Turns out you're not just a master chef, you're a master brewer! God, how could it be this at your age!
The dwarves on the other side were immediately shocked. These skills that Ji Ran came out of are not something that any human can acquire! Moreover, just one item is enough for a human being to study from juvenile to old age, and this guy actually reached the master level of both at the age of twenty!
Moreover, I heard that he is also a master of alchemy...... Its own strength has also reached the level of the silver high level......
It's a demon! When all the dwarves learned about this qiē, they made such a comment in their hearts.
Ji Ran scratched his head embarrassedly: "When I was a child, I was trained by a group of strange elders, so I don't know what kind of skills I have reached. Perhaps, the people who taught me are more powerful, right? ”
The dwarves accepted Ji Ran's explanation...... With this explanation, they really couldn't find any other reason. Of course, there are some explanations that sound reasonable, such as the fact that the boy in front of him actually has a rather old soul that has studied cooking and sake making all his life......
In a sense, this speculation is still a little closer to the truth - but it is even less credible than Ji Ran's statement.
All in all, the exchange was a joy for both sides. And the dwarves also tried their best to invite Ji Ran and the others to stay in the Iron Fort for a while, enjoy the scenery of the Iron Forge, and communicate with a few masters by the way......
The dwarven chefs who have just come into contact with these new dishes are even more eye-catching. Seeing that, they couldn't wait to swallow Ji Ran directly......
If it weren't for the fact that the aesthetics of humans and dwarves were different, maybe someone would have introduced Ji Ran to his daughter or granddaughter on the spot......
It's strange to say this, Ji Ran didn't encounter a plot in this world where anyone sold him his daughter and granddaughter, but was recommended to his sister twice...... It's a pity that Ji Ran didn't see any of these two sisters.
The dwarf's hospitality was difficult to resist, and Ji Ran and the others could only agree to stay here with the dwarf for a while. Anyway, there is no rush now, and everyone has no other clear goals. Les's strength can also be stabilized here, and Ji Ran can even find a place to help Baker advance to the silver rank - you know, there are many places like that dark crystal vein here. (To be continued......)
