Chapter Twenty-Three: Magical Cooking
The biochemical stock solution is thick like a paste, and the taste is extremely disgusting. Zhang Muqiang swallowed the vomiting sensation, but his stomach cramped violently, and a feeling of turning over the river and the sea followed. This intense feeling of nausea lasted for at least ten seconds, just as it was about to fade away. It was like igniting gasoline in the stomach, and an unusually strong burning sensation was replaced by an unusually strong burning sensation, penetrating from the center of the abdomen to the limbs, at first it seemed that all the internal organs were ignited, and the pain was beyond ordinary people's imagination, but as it spread faster and faster, the burning sensation was gradually and evenly dispersed.
Zhang Mu's skin turned red, his face was covered with sweat, and the biochemical essence began to play a role, and the success or failure of the strengthening depended on luck.
"Intensive 1%, 25%...... 50%β¦β¦ 90%β¦β¦β
Zhang Mu lay on the bed and breathed slowly, the fiery feeling covered from head to toe, and the whole person was like being put into a steamer to be steamed. When the progress reaches 100%, the tide of heat and dryness disappears in the blink of an eye.
"Reinforcement success! liliang+1οΌ Constitution +1! β
Zhang Muchang let out a sigh, and finally there was no waste, although the attribute growth was not much, after all, it was a permanent growth, so the benefits generated were permanent. Because of this, the price of biochemical stock solution is so expensive that ordinary people simply cannot afford it. Zhang Mu rested for a few minutes, and drank the second bottle of biochemical stock solution, which resulted in the effect of agility +1, and the third bottle of biochemical stock solution, which directly failed to strengthen. In the fourth bottle, the reinforcement failed again.
The more times this kind of item permanently increases attributes, the weaker the effect will be, and the higher the failure rate. When the biochemical stock solution was successfully strengthened twice, the third and fourth times had failed, Zhang Mu didn't want to waste the precious biochemical stock solution, so he put the remaining bottles into the public warehouse, added a note, and the price was 60 mercenary points.
Zhang Mu took a cold shower, put on civilian clothes and just pushed the door open, when the black claws were excited to greet him, and his dark golden eyes shimmered in the dark night.
"Whoa!"
"Stop arguing, I know what you're thinking."
Zhang Mu took out a beast crystal and threw it to it, the black claw swallowed the beast crystal into his stomach, patted his belly with satisfaction, and continued to nap under the tree. The enhancement effect of the E-level beast crystal on the elite war beast is very obvious, after the black claw completely digests a beast crystal, the blood volume has increased from 1000 to 1080 points, and various attributes have also increased a lot.
According to previous experience, an elite war beast swallowing 10 beast crystals is enough to grow into a boss-level monster. The beast crystal in Zhang Mu's hand is not enough, and the E-level beast crystal can only be obtained from the boss-level monster, and the leader-level monster is near the dawn camp, although it is not too difficult to find, but the difficulty of killing is not small.
Zhang Mu walked out of the courtyard, it became dark outside, the time was around 20 o'clock in the evening, the Dawn Camp had long been closed, and players were no longer allowed to enter or go out, except for the arena and the library, it seemed that there was no place to go.
"There's still a place to go!"
Because the population has grown greatly, business at the Dawning Tavern is good, the number of people present is several times that of last night, and the tavern is filled with the aroma of wine and meat. However, Zhang Mu did not come to eat, and when he walked around the kitchen of the tavern, two machine soldiers stopped him at the entrance.
"Warrior, this is a kitchen, no trespassing!"
The voice of the robot soldier sounded emotionlessly.
"I'm a chef, I'm a zero-hour worker!"
The robot soldier seemed to see Zhang Mu's identity, and after checking that it was correct, he retreated left and right, and Zhang Mu walked into the kitchen. As the only official tavern in the camp, the Aurora Tavern is very large, and the kitchen alone is half as wide as the corridor of the house. Chefs in chef hats and covered in oil are busy in the kitchen, preparing five or six portions of food at the same time, and whenever the food is about to be ready, he uses a cooking technique to improve the quality of the food.
The chef was tinkering with the kitchen utensils, and when he heard someone come in, he squinted and glanced over, "So it's you kid?" What, free to work part-time? β
"Yes, make a little money and increase the familiarity of cooking by the way." Zhang Mu said bluntly: "Is there anything you need help with?" β
The chef pointed to the back of the kitchen: "The garbage ingredients over there, this chef is too lazy to start, you can just cook as you like, as long as you make more than 10 servings of food in 1 hour, you will be counted as 30 gold coins." Of course, you are not allowed to take anything out of the kitchen. β
Several bamboo baskets were filled with palm-sized dead fish, and there were other ingredients around, as well as magic ingredients, and all kinds of tools. In fact, working for the Dawning Tavern, I can't earn a few gold coins. Zhang Mu is here to improve his cooking skills, and there are a lot of ingredients available in the Dawning Tavern, as long as the magic is enough, he can keep doing it.
γStale blackhead fishγ, F-grade ingredient.
Zhang Mu picked up a fish from the bamboo basket, the fish was pitch black, and the head was particularly large. Zhang Mu took out the knife and touched it lightly, and the fish was decomposed, and the scales and internal organs were all removed.
When the chef saw the knife, he was slightly surprised: "Good knife!" β
Cooking is the most liberal profession in production, and because of the high degree of freedom, talent is crucial if you want to achieve success. The food you cook is not only influenced by the level of cooking skills, but also by the techniques and skills. Even if a master chef loses his spells, he can become the world's top chef when he returns to Earth!
Zhang Mu began to prepare the ingredients, chopped green onions, sliced ginger, some minced garlic, and two tablespoons of soy sauce. A few spoons of cooking wine and sesame oil, plus an appropriate amount of salt and monosodium glutamate.
The chef touched his chin and said, "Braised fish? β
These are ready-made magic seasonings, which are sold in department stores, Zhang Mu smeared salt and cooking wine on the back of the fish, injected magic liliang through cooking, so that the fish meat fully absorbed the salt and cooking wine, and then the oil was burned until it was 70% hot, and the fish was fried to a yellowish color and removed for later use. Leave about one or two remaining oil in the pot, burn until it is hot, change the heat to low and fry the ginger slices, garlic slices, and green onion segments to make a fragrant color, after the heat is almost over, the soup is poured into the fish plate, while it is just out of the plate, the whole cooking technique is performed, the light flows into the plate from both hands, penetrates into the fish meat and the soup, zuihou gradually blends, the whole plate of fish suddenly flashes, and then completely dims......
Zhang Mu showed joy: "It's successful, and the grade has improved a little." β
[Braised Blackhead Fish], F-grade food, 25 health regeneration, 15 magic points.
The chef was very satisfied with Zhang Mu's performance: "It can be seen that you have learned a little craft!" β
Zhang Mu has been precocious and independent since he was a child, so he learned how to take care of himself early, braised fish is one of the best dishes, and he often cooks it for his sister when he is at home. The method of magic cooking is not the same as regular cooking, but Zhang Mu got the cooking book and already knew some cooking skills, so he could easily complete it.
This kind of making F-grade ingredients into F-grade food, this kind of qualitative change does not occur every time, and there is a certain probability of triggering, of course, this is for Zhang Mu. A chef like Chef can make F-grade food even with his eyes closed.
The chef brought a pair of chopsticks and tasted the braised fish made by Zhang Mu with his own mouth, "The magic is too rusty, otherwise the attribute will be higher." But for beginner chefs, it's great to do that! β
"Hint: Chef +30 opinion, current friendship 50, relationship changed: normal β friendly!"
Favorability has increased again!
Zhang Mu was secretly happy.
The chef patted his round belly and said, "This kind of introductory magic cooking is difficult to get rid of the limitations of traditional cooking, and now this chef is going to demonstrate the cooking skills by hand, so that you can know what real magic cooking is!" I haven't done a cooking show in front of anyone in years, kid is lucky enough to see it, don't blink! β
"Yes, thank you, Chef!" This is definitely good for Zhang Mu.
"Get out of the way!"
The chef stood up with a big belly, his eyes swept over the fish and various ingredients in the bamboo basket in turn, nodded, four or five meters away from the bamboo basket, and raised his hands directly. An invisible liliang was released from the chef's body, filling the basket with more than a dozen fish, all floating into the air.
The various kitchen utensils and brushes in the chef's mechanical arm flew into the air, and all kinds of kitchen knives shot out in unison, just like the legendary swordsmanship, slashing through countless cold lights in the air, Zhang Mu didn't see what was going on, removing the gills, removing the scales, and cutting the belly...... More than a dozen black-headed fish were cleaned up in three seconds, and a burst of fish scales fell like rain.
"Ahh
The chef drank, raised his hand and pointed at the kitchen counter, more than a dozen pans seemed to be attracted by magnets, all of them floated away from the kitchen counter and floated into the air, the blackhead fish fell into the pan, and then rotated around the chef, the bottom of the pot ignited a blazing magic flame, sesame oil and cooking wine poured into it at the same time, and all kinds of ingredients were raised, like a gust of sand and dust raised with the wind, evenly entering it. The pot crackled, the food was stir-fried automatically, and the enticing aroma filled the kitchen.
"Prepare the plates!"
Zhang Mu immediately put the plate on the table.
The chef pressed his hand and shouted, "Go!" The pot shook suddenly, more than ten fish were thrown out along with the soup, the fish fell into the plate first, the hot soup and ingredients were poured down, and the fish was perfectly spread on the fish, half a drop did not leak out, it was a miracle!
And that's not all!
The chef's fingers shine, and the magic liliang is poured into the braised fish one by one.
[Perfect Braised Blackhead Fish], F+ level food, 35 health regeneration, 25 magic points.
Is this an expert magic chef?
Zhang Mu was dumbfounded, from beginning to end, the chef did not touch the food or kitchen utensils, and processed more than a dozen dishes of food at the same time, which was completed in less than 5 minutes. When I saw the chef cooking, I had a strange feeling in my heart, and my understanding of magic cooking deepened.
[Hint: Cooking proficiency +200!] γ
When Zhang Mu heard the prompt, he couldn't help but feel excited.
Does this also increase proficiency?
Chef seemed to have done something insignificant: "How do you feel?" β
"That's amazing!"
"Taste it!"
Zhang Mu tasted a few sips, not to mention the attributes, the taste is also excellent, under the effect of magic liliang, the fish and soup are perfectly intertwined, and the interpretation is extreme!
The chef was very proud of Zhang Mu's expression: "In the entire Shuguang Camp, no one can compare to me in terms of cooking skills!" He patted Zhang Mu on the shoulder: "Boy, although your level is very bad, you have some potential for cultivation, work hard, human understanding is very high, you may surpass me in the future!" β
Zhang Mu smiled slightly, noncommittal, in fact, in his opinion, cooking is a dispensable side hustle, as long as it is so-so. He is a warrior, so he will not devote his energy to life and profession.
The chef saw Zhang Mu's thoughts, and said very unhappily: "Do you look down on the cook?" Snorted: "I'm telling you, Camp Dawn is a small place, and as long as humans survive, sooner or later they will have to go farther away." Don't think that being a chef can only cook for people, the craft haode magic chef is popular wherever you go! With good cooking skills, it will be much more convenient to make friends with neutrals, so as to get more mission opportunities! β
Zhang Mu hurriedly said: "Thank you for the chef's advice, I remember." β
The chef took out a black pan from behind his back, "You are a cook, you don't even have a pot, it's too unusual!" This chef used it when he was young, and now I give it to you! β
[Black Iron Cauldron], EE-level magic cauldron, cooking speed +50%, consumes 1 mana every 10 seconds.
