Chapter 7: Ririn's Cooking

"It turned out to be ...... Dumplings ......"

Hearing such exam questions, Li Lin suddenly felt a little ridiculous, he didn't expect that dumplings, a Chinese delicacy, would become a legendary dish of a lost civilization in another world. It has become a test question for me to obtain a hunter's license...... Just when the other candidates picked up the knife for a while, looked at the flour for a while, and didn't know how to cook, the little butler Lucy turned her eyes to Lilin...... "Master, if it's you, you should know how to do it, right?" Little Lucy looked at Lilin and asked in a low voice with a flushed face, for a housekeeper, it is a shame to ask his master for cooking methods.

At least that's what little Lucy herself thinks.

"I know...... Lilin replied with a smile: "Although I haven't been in the kitchen once, I still know how to make dumplings, and anyway, I'm also a Chinese." ”

Although Lilin's voice was not loud, he did not deliberately lower it, so that several other candidates near him, not only Kurapika, Xiaojie, Killua but even a bald-headed ninja with an indecent face came over, stretched out his ears, and listened carefully to Lilin's explanation.

Li Lin didn't mean to hide it at all, smiled, and said very casually: "Dumplings, that is, to mix the flour, then use a rolling pin to press it into a round thin skin, then chop the meat and vegetables, add seasonings and mix into fillings, and finally wrap them in the dough, cook them, and you're done." ”

"I see!"

Almost instantly, all the candidates in the giant kitchen converted from a simple warehouse rushed out like crazy, looking for ingredients that could be used as dumpling fillings, after all, there were no other ingredients that could be used here except flour.

"Is it really okay for you to tell you how to make it like that?" Kurapika looked at Lilin and asked puzzled.

"Ann la, it's okay, it's completely open-ended here, even if I want to hide it, I can't hide the production method after all, and the more people who play the game, the more interesting it will be...... Also, do you think dumplings are so simple? The size of the dough and the proportion of the filling, just a dumpling wrapper is not something that can be rolled out. There's a lot more you need to know. What's more......" Lilin set his eyes on the food hunter Menqi on the side again, and it just so happened that this hot girl was also staring at him with strange eyes...... "The eldest lady over there, the degree of pickiness about the taste of the food, but it's still above your imagination, all in all, let's do it casually first, as for whether it can be qualified, let's talk about it then......"

So, the five of them also began to separate to find the cooking ingredients they needed, Xiaojie took his own fishing rod and ran to a stream in the mountains, obviously wanting to make dumplings filled with fish and meat, while Kurapika looked at the birds in the sky thoughtfully, and her thoughts were self-evident, as for the little butler Lucy, naturally she would not be as natural as them, how to say that she is also an "earthling" in the real world, what kind of meat filling dumplings should be made, she still knows how much, so she picked up the single-barreled flintlock shotgun again, change into ordinary ammunition, and go to find the bad luck of the Big-Nosed Overlord Pig...... Seeing that they were each looking for their own cooking ingredients with great interest, Rilin was in a dilemma for a while, although he was confident that what he had just said was true, but in fact, he had really never cooked anything.

No, that's not right, in fact, he did it, when he was in junior high school, he tried to make braised pork according to the recipe once, and with a talent that even God is jealous of, his braised pork was very successful after only one attempt, and the appearance of this dish is simply perfect...... The skin of the meat is crystal clear, shiny red, the meat is soft but elastic, the soup is viscous but clear, and the fragrance is even more tempting...... However, this time, Lilin did not taste his own craftsmanship, because by the time he returned from the kitchen, the whole plate of braised pork had been swept away, and for some reason, even the people who ate the food were missing...... Since then, Rilin has never had the opportunity to take matters into his own hands and clean up the cooking.

"This time, do you want to take it seriously and do it once? It's a lot of trouble, but it seems to be a lot of fun......"

Lilin tossed the coin and ...... "Do it seriously on the front side, and do it casually on the back side." ”

The coin dribbled on the ground for a long time, and the result was ...... Front.

"Good! First of all, decide on the material of the meat! Lilin instantly became full of energy, and planned to devote himself to it and make a plate of delicious food that would make that little hot girl Menqi swallow even her tongue.

"As for pork, it seems that little Lucy has already gone looking for it, and it is not new to make the same as others...... I remember being a food hunter who takes pride in discovering new ingredients and challenging unknown foods with the highest honor, in that case......"

"Just let me make something that no one else can imagine and that no one has ever cooked......

Lilin looked up at the sky and smiled slightly...... After rummaging through the brand insignia, Lilin actually took out a bright red piece of flesh the size of a child's head, which was suddenly the heart of some kind of creature...... The werewolf's heart ...... "The meat is already there, so we need a vegetable ......" Lilin looked around, and suddenly, he saw a large and bright flower blooming in a barren mud pond in the distance, like a lotus flower that came out of the mud and was not stained.

The flower is really big, the size of a large dining table, and each petal is nearly a meter long, the thickness of an adult's palm, and exudes an intoxicating fragrance...... "Since lotus roots and lotus seeds can be eaten, then plants that look like lotus flowers should also be edible...... Well, I decided to use the petals of this 'lotus' as a vegetable. Li Lin smiled slightly, the blood-red bloody queen's whip in his hand had been thrown out, and the next moment, the whole "lotus" had been picked, Li Lin smiled and picked the two most tender petals from the flowers, which felt fleshy to the touch, very much like the best Lanzhou lily known for its edible value...... Lilin nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave, but he didn't notice that after the flower was picked, the mud under the plant's roots was tumbling, and a large pile of dry bones slowly floated up...... After the materials were prepared and he returned to the warehouse, Lilin found that many candidates were already busy trying to make all kinds of "dumplings".

Of course, if things like pies or meatballs are also considered "dumplings...... Lilin smiled slightly, didn't pay attention to them, and started his own cooking.

"First, chop the werewolf's fresh heart, chop it into minced meat, then wash the unnamed lily petals, mess them up, mix them with the minced meat, and stir well...... And then what? Lilin stood in place, thought for a while...... "By the way, it seems that I need to add some green onions, ginger and garlic to it...... But I don't have it on hand? Well, let's go outside and find something similar to it, by the way, I heard that the shell of the poppy/poppy fruit can improve the deliciousness of the dish, I don't have that thing on hand, so I will use two malines for pain relief instead, and it seems better to add some wine to the meat filling, and the sun wine has been drunk, so let's put some medical alcohol......"

"Finally, in order to make the dumplings more flavorful, simply add a little bit of century soup to the water in which the dumplings are cooked......"

When Lilin lifted the lid of the pot, in an instant, several colorful clouds floated out of the pot like the aurora of the North Pole, permeating the roof of the house, which lasted for a long time, and was incredibly beautiful...... Not only that, but a burst of strong incense also attracted the attention of everyone here, so that everyone involuntarily put down the work in their hands and looked at Lilin blankly, no, at the art treasures in his hands...... Li Lin confidently fished out his refined dumplings from the pot, only to see that the crystal clear dumpling skin was perfectly translucent, like crystal, the pink dumpling filling was clearly visible, and the pungent aroma tempted people's index fingers moved...... "Is this a dumpling?" Kurapika beside Lilin, after seeing the food in Lilin's hand, was panicked, and hid the food he had just made behind him with a red face, as if it was something extremely embarrassing, and he had the same reaction, and suddenly there was the little butler Lucy, her eyes did not blink at the legendary food that had been upgraded to "craft treasures" in Lilin's hands, and she couldn't wait to learn how to make it completely in a blink of an eye, and then she didn't have to let the owner do it himself. That would be a great insult to the butler.

With a calm and calm, but confident smile on his face, Li Lin slowly walked towards the examiner Menqi, and Menqi, who had noticed him early, stared at the food in Lilin's hand with dead eyes, holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand, and a small plate containing sauce and vinegar, which was very unimpressive and drooling...... If it weren't for the final dignity of the examiner, I'm afraid this crazy girl who is extremely obsessed with food would have pounced...... But at this moment, a large group of candidates suddenly rushed ahead of Lilin and rushed to present their works to the examiner Menqi......
