Chapter 34: The kitchen knife arrives
Qin Zheng's first reaction when he saw the crystal beetle burrowing into the steamer was anger, because he felt that this guy had soiled the whole steamer of the roasted wheat, and he had only tasted one, and he hadn't eaten it yet! After her anger passed, she began to think about why she thought it had soiled all the wheat. Only then did he come to his senses, and blurted out one word, "Poison!" ”
"Huh?" The fat chef was puzzled, in the excitement of recovering his sense of taste, holding chopsticks and ignoring the dirt, he was actually grabbing the roasted wheat with the crystal beetle to eat. Ah, it's nice to be able to taste food after a long absence!
"Hey, I said this bug is poisonous!" Qin Zheng knocked off the chopsticks in the fat chef's hand, looked him up and down, and said, "Have you been poisoned?" ”
"Nope." The fat chef shook his head like a rattle, and while reaching out his fat hand to take the siu mai, he said, "Shall I eat another one?" ”
Dizzy, did he understand what he was saying? Is it really not afraid of death? However, it really doesn't look like he has been poisoned, Qin Zheng frowned slightly, remembering the transparent liquid that the ointment squeezed out of the crystal beetle's mouth yesterday, so he looked suspiciously at the worm that was still chewing on the roasted wheat, and then looked at the fat chef who was also eating happily, and began to wonder in his heart - he thought that this worm's saliva could only detoxify its own poison, but he didn't expect it to seem to be able to detoxify all poisons. Did you find a treasure? But that seems to be saliva...... It doesn't matter if the worm drools or not, the liquid is coming out of its mouth, but fortunately, it's not from the fart...... Qin Zheng hurriedly interrupted his thoughts, for fear of vomiting all the roasted wheat he had just eaten.
"Can you really taste it?" All right! Whether this worm's saliva is a panacea remains to be verified, but if the fat chef in front of her really regains his sense of taste and smell, she will be happy for him.
"Really!" The fat chef looked up with a sparkling liquid in his eyes. Happiness needs to be shared with others.
"That's nice." Qin Zheng smiled, stared at the steamer that was about to be emptied, and finally couldn't help but poke out the "devil's claws" and took the crystal beetle back into the silver bottle again. That's enough! It's eaten enough! Where is this worm, it is clearly a pig!
"Is that it?" The fat chef gradually calmed down from his excitement.
"What?" Qin Zheng was puzzled.
"You said it was poisonous, but I was cured." The fat chef smiled: "Is it what you often say about fighting poison with poison?" ”
Qin Zheng tugged at the corners of her mouth and didn't speak, how did she know if it was right?
"Anyway, I still want to thank you!" The fat chef said that he took out a black kitchen knife out of nowhere, wiped off the ash on it, and handed it to Qin Zheng and said, "I'll give you this kitchen knife, it's the most convenient one I've ever used before." You know, kitchenware is important to chefs. ”
After many days of observation experience, Qin Zheng has learned that NPCs are the most knowledgeable type of people in the world, although their attitudes are good or bad, as long as they do things for them, they will be rewarded. So she took the kitchen knife with peace of mind and said thank you.
"Besides, I just finished eating your siu mai, and now I want you to try my handiwork." When it came to cooking, the fat chef's eyes lit up again, but he was a little embarrassed: "I haven't cooked hard for many years, I don't know if it's okay." Would you like to taste it? ”
In the face of such enthusiasm, of course Qin Zheng was embarrassed to refuse, but when he remembered the porridge he had eaten here yesterday morning, he felt like sweating. Let's hope it won't be so unpalatable this time......
Walking outside the kitchen to wait for food, Qin Zheng saw the master Netherworld Xiaobai who claimed to be ranked in the top ten of the Valley of Bliss, but this time he was busy talking to a beautiful woman sitting next to him, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Qin Zheng for the time being.
Sitting on the chair, Qin Zheng boredly took out the kitchen knife to check the properties in the way Ruotian Wuyun had taught.
Kitchen Knife, Durability: 50/50, Attack: 3-9, Effect: Reduces the time it takes to process ingredients by 30% and increases the palatability of food by 5%. Description: One of the special kitchenware scattered around.
What does % mean? Qin Zheng couldn't understand it, and turned out the long sword she was using now to compare.
Blue Steel Sword, Durability: 32/40, Attack: 5-14, Effect: None. Description: This is an ordinary sword.
It seems that the attributes of this kitchen knife are very good! Qin Zheng put it away properly, opened the task panel again, and saw that there was an additional task of "detoxifying the chef of the Valley of Bliss" in the completed task, and read the task description again with curiosity, only to know that this was a trigger task, as long as you have the crystal beetle, and then talk to the chef to trigger it. It seems that everything is a chance. Qin Zheng sighed, sat and waited for a while, and smelled a fragrance coming, so his stomach, which was already not full, felt even more empty.
"You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?" It turned out to be the fat chef who personally brought out a lacquer plate, on which were placed two plates of xiaolongbao and a bowl of wonton, and the hot aroma was fragrant.
"It smells so good!" Smelling this fragrance, Qin Zheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, it was worth waiting longer.
"Hey, what does it smell like?! It smells so good! The netherworld Xiaobai, who was chatting with the beautiful woman, also smelled it, and was snorting around looking around, and finally set his eyes on the two plates of xiaolongbao, leaving a lot of eye poison.
Of course, no one paid attention to the Netherworld Xiaobai, and the fat chef smiled and said to Qin Zheng: "Taste it quickly, while it's hot." ”
"Good!" Qin Zheng picked up a bun with chopsticks, and saw that it was small and delicate and the skin was so thin that it was almost transparent, so he blew it twice, and he didn't even bother to dip the seasoning into his mouth without being a lady at all, and just chewed it, but he stuck out his tongue and shouted while inhaling the cool air: "Hey, hey-hot-" The tongue tasted the umami and was reluctant to spit out the bun, but fortunately, the pain was not high, and the pain was unbearable, Qin Zheng finally felt better after inhaling a burst of cool air.
"Haven't you eaten xiao long bao? Gently bite the skin and slowly suck off the soup. The fat chef hurriedly poured her a cup of herbal tea.
"I haven't eaten it-" Qin Zheng shook his head, and before he finished speaking, he had already buried his head in hard food. She used to live in a very early age, and xiaolongbao had not yet been invented.
"This is a crab roe xiaolong, and this is an ordinary pork filling." The fat chef introduced her to eat at the same time, and I don't know if I heard it. By the time all the players came back to their senses and shouted "I want it too", Qin Zheng had already finished eating, and finally raised his head, revealing a satisfied and lazy smile. Hey, it's easy to get sleepy when you're full, and you get up too early......
"Does it taste good?" Even after seeing Qin Zheng's appearance, the fat chef was still a little apprehensive, over the years, too many people complained that the things he made were unpalatable, so that he lost confidence. However, although he had lost his sense of smell and taste for many years, now that he had recovered, he felt more acute.
"Good, good!" Qin Zheng did not hesitate to give praise, although she knew that her dream of opening a small restaurant in the Valley of Bliss to make money was completely shattered! With free and delicious meals to enjoy, who would pay for it?
