Chapter Twenty-Eight: Magic
Of the five foods, it found three. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Potato tubers, wild herbs Houttuynia cordata and wild shiitake mushrooms.
Potato, a perennial herb of the Solanaceae family, is named because of its resemblance to a "horse bell".
It is said to be native to the Andes Mountains of South America, where the locals hunted and gathered, and the wild potato was first discovered.
In the mid-16th century, short-day potatoes were introduced to Europe, and artificial selection became the long-day type. The Queen of France was so fond of it that she even wore flowers on her head as decorations.
This kind of food, like yam and taro, cannot be eaten raw, but after cooking, the amylose granule structure inside the potato is destroyed, making it easier for amylase to go deep into the interior for hydrolysis reaction, forming a large amount of amylopectin, which can be digested and absorbed by the human body.
This wonderful food, which was once mixed in staple foods, dishes, side meals, snacks, and snacks, is almost everywhere, and is eaten by both men and women, young and old.
The first thing Louis wanted to look for was potatoes.
With it, you won't go hungry at least at any time, and you can mix different ingredients and try different cooking methods to create different flavors.
And Houttuynia cordata, which is a common wild vegetable.
Houttuynia cordata, a perennial herb, also known as bracken, has its traces as early as 2,000 years ago in China.
Legend has it that in the Spring and Autumn Period, when the Yue King Goujian was lying down and tasting the gall, he led everyone to choose bracken and eat it, and since the Wei and Jin dynasties, bracken has been officially used as medicine, and it has been included in the medical classics in the name of "Houttuynia cordata".
This natural wild vegetable, which can be seen in both the north and south, prefers a warm and humid environment, avoids drought, is cold-tolerant, and is afraid of strong light.
Houttuynia cordata has a dry taste, unlike potatoes, and is not a popular delicacy, and those who like it like it will like it, and those who don't like it will reject its raw meat taste. But for Louie, there is no such thing as unpalatable food in the world, only the culinary skills of the world.
The third thing, wild shiitake mushrooms, is a common delicacy in the big forest.
Many adventure novels have the figure of this mushroom queen, this wild shiitake mushroom is indeed brighter than artificial shiitake mushrooms, and the taste is more fragrant and rich.
Louis looked at the fresh and plump mushrooms on the basswood, and when he smelled it, he could feel the smell of the great forest, which he could not feel when he sat alone in the hall.
Although he didn't have the ability to distinguish so accurately, the three ingredients he found were mixed in a large number of clods of soil and broken branches, but he was very lucky to be able to find three.
Yes, lucky.
Looking at its stupid appearance, you know that it is a stupid skeleton with a stupid blessing.
However, it was not it that really amazed Louie, but Gollum.
Unlike Quack's stumbling chance to find a sweet potato, unlike Quack's unique luck, and even with Gugu's "fast and hard-working", there is only one ingredient neatly placed in front of Gollum - tomatoes, and nothing else.
On the other hand, Gugu is like a mountain bag in front of him, but there is no match.
What does this mean?
Suffice it to say that this skeleton is extraordinary.
It has an extraordinary ability to discern, and it is very calm in its work, knowing that Louie's real intention is not to find ingredients, but to train, so it earnestly searches, what it is, does not overdo it, nor opportunistic, its response is the result that Louis really wants.
If Chirli is lucky, Gollum really recognizes what a tomato is with her own ability!
You know, what's the point of his training if every time the skeletons are asked to hunt for food, they're trying their luck with a bunch of extraneous things?
What is the value of moving the entire forest directly?
What he needs is the ingredients in this world, all of which can one day be clearly copied in his brain and used by him.
Humans may be greedy, accountants may be more profitable, and they may be intrigued, but skeletons will not.
As long as they overcome this level, with their extraordinary speed and talent for retreat, there is almost nowhere in this world where they can go and where they cannot retreat.
Once the number of skeletons reaches a larger base, the effect is no less than making the whole world his personal refrigerator!
What's that like?
Louie finds it unimaginable now.
After all, it is still far away, and at this moment, he cares more about these primitive ingredients.
Born in nature, raised in nature.
These ingredients, which are completely processed by the power of nature, are made from a mellow and pollution-free mountain water, and even Louis has never tasted them.
The smell of potatoes is uniform and refreshing, the taste of Houttuynia cordata is fresh and stimulating, wild shiitake mushrooms are even more superb, the mushroom shape is round, the fungus film is tightly packed, no spots, no white hearts, the meat is very fat, gently kneaded, you can feel the full elasticity.
The skeletons looked at Louis tightly, and when they saw him smile, their aura softened, and then they became proud.
I've never played this kind of game before, I didn't expect it to be so fun!
Goo thinks I like it very much!
Gollum still looked at Louie until the boy rinsed a tomato in the stream and put it in his mouth, and he noticed that something was wrong with Louie's expression.
But what is wrong, and it doesn't understand?
Louis eats wild tomatoes, but his heart is immersed in unprecedented shock, unbelievable!
He is a top chef, who has participated in state banquets and tasted seafood and delicacies from various countries, and he knows very well that after the ingredients reach a certain level, it is difficult to improve the taste of the ingredients without the environment, service and art appreciation.
Just like why there are gourmets in the world, why there must be professional judgments even when eating, and why there are foodologists who interpret food theory, because after food reaches a certain stage, ordinary people feel that it is almost the same.
Except for personal tastes and preferences, there is basically no difference.
And people are not satisfied with the growing spiritual pursuit, so they lead food to a higher and more mysterious field of art appreciation.
But what about the food itself?
That's it.
This is the education that Louis has always received, but at this moment, he was completely broken by the tomatoes in his hand!
This is definitely not normal food!
How would he describe the taste in his mouth?
It's not maddeningly strong like in the comics, but it's definitely not all the flavor of a normal tomato.
Louis was well aware that this taste completely sublimated the tomato to another level.
If there is one word to describe it, it is plumpness!
The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes completely swept his entire mouth as soon as he entered it, which was different from the warmth of the volcanic eruption, which was warm and refreshing to make people feel comfortable all over!
Each drop of lycopene spreads out evenly like silk...... Yes, it is this uniform texture that makes the aroma in the whole mouth produce an indescribable fullness impact, and only people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will appreciate how comfortable this impact is.
The sourness is not strong at all, as if a chemist who is the most proficient in blending has reconstituted and blended the sweet and sour tomatoes in the right proportions.
After Louie finished eating the whole tomato, a possibility naturally came to mind, and that possibility, which began to appear after making instant noodles, has been leading him to open the most precious treasure in this world.
