Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the day of the harvest festival, all the elves return to the tribe, slaughter the livestock, decorate the house, water the flowers and plants with life replenishing water, and the flowers bloom beautifully.

On this day, everyone put away their hunting weapons and were all immersed in the atmosphere of the festival, but with the two ancient war trees summoned by the Great Elder Moria to guard them, the safety of the tribe did not have to worry.

As a warm-up for the harvest festival, the competition between the tribal chefs begins after 2 p.m., and all the chefs who have practiced their cooking skills bring their own creations, and many people watch from the sidelines.

When Duke arrived with his work, he saw a circle of all kinds of food on the table on the edge of the field in front of the Moon Well, which was full of dazzling and fragrant food.

Elves are an art-loving race, reflected in these foods, every color and shape is very exquisite, even the simplest barbecue, will be arranged in a variety of patterns, some whole roasted, but also put on a variety of unbelievable shapes, especially the roasted golden-horned python that occupies a table in the middle, it is coiled there, there is a kind of dragon momentum!

Seeing him coming, Cook's eyes lit up when he was commenting with everyone, he walked over from the crowd, and said with a smile: "Duke, you're finally here! What work did you bring today? Look at these, I can tell you, you are not the only one with good cooking skills, and you don't have much chance of winning the competition by relying on the effect alone!"

Duke lifted the food box in his hand, motioned inside, and then looked at the "entries" and asked, "How did you rate? Which one is better?"

By looking at them, he roughly divided them into categories, and found that meat works were the most, followed by fruit carvings, and only a few simple pasta works remained—all of which were inventively shaped, but could be seen to have been post-processed.

Cook was not in a hurry to see his work at this time, and said as he walked over with him, "I'll finish reading a few more, and if you don't come back, it's time for the next round-" Then he pointed to the roasted whole snake and another unusually gorgeous fruit carving, and said, "We all think those two are better!"

By the time they had walked over, everyone had reached the penultimate table, on which there were five works, and a silver-white short-haired elf pointed to a white and crystalline tubular rhizome and said, "This is engraved with the process by which the goddess of nature made Lord Bannath an oracle...... The material I use is the stem of the live root grass, and I have soaked it in the juice of the cherry tree, which can not only remove the astringency and earthy smell of the live root grass, but also purify its color, and can also solve the natural toxins below the second level......"

As an alchemist, Duke first recognized the other party's preparation idea, plus although it is not as gorgeous as the fruit carving of the previous comparison, it is fresh and meaningful, in his opinion, it should be recognized by everyone, and the result is the same.

With this work, although the next few of it are also very exquisite, but compared with it, one can be called art, and the other few can only be regarded as exquisite food, the difference is still obvious, however, most of the participants are just minors in cooking, see wonderful food, and then make their own food for everyone to taste is already very happy, and no one is unhappy or disappointed.

At the last table, a large piece of barbecue meat with dark and light colors attracted everyone's attention - its appearance was average at best, but it tasted from top to bottom, the taste was heavy and light, the juice was full, the layers were distinct, and the heat was excellent, which was also unanimously praised by everyone.

After reading the work on the final table, Cook turned to Duke and said with a smile: "Take out yours, and let everyone evaluate it together." ”

Duke nodded, opened the food box, and placed the food on the table with a soothing motion.

When they saw his work, everyone suddenly fell silent, and the first thing he took out was a piece of cake-like food, the difference was that it was placed on a rose-red flower, and the skin of this cake was transparent, and the inside was wrapped in an equally transparent orange-red flower.

Such a novel and bright color instantly stimulated everyone's appetite, and many people swallowed saliva involuntarily, and such a simple but never-before-seen food also made everyone curious.

Then, Duke took out a second one, the same cake shape, the same transparent skin, but the color was changed to fresh green, the blooming flowers were white, and the cake was wrapped in a golden egg yolk-like thing, which looked like the sun reflected in the water, and there was a mysterious feeling!

The third is a cake, the skin has been changed to pink, and the inside part is a white heart, which is held in a crystal plate.

In the fourth piece, it became the golden color of the normal baked noodles, and the plate was replaced by a porcelain plate, but it was engraved with a wonderful pattern, like some kind of text, which everyone had never seen, but they all felt that there was some kind of pattern in it.

After a moment of scrutiny, Cook asked, "You did this, and what are they called?"

The people around the table also looked at it, and Duke looked up at the moon that had appeared in the sky, and said, "They are shaped like moons, so let's call them moon cakes, right?"

"Moon-Cake"

Cook whispered it out of his mouth, and he only felt that the name was indescribable: "Good! good!"

Duke looked down at the four words on the last moon cake that only he knew here, and after spending the full moon, his thoughts couldn't help but fly to the original world, in that period of hard work, in the festival of the same time period, he also picked up such a moon cake and bit off one of the four words from it......

Soon, after everyone's evaluation, his moon cakes, the roasted whole python, the gorgeous flying bird fruit carving, live root carving, and multi-flavor barbecue entered the next round together.

In the final evaluation of the best stage, everyone quarreled again, first of all, the multi-flavored barbecue and the roasted whole python **** went down, they both suffered in a shape almost, although one was visually more enjoyable, but as food seemed to be inappropriate, and then the bird fruit eagle was considered too gorgeous, out of the original intention of the food, and the third was compared.

Then only the living root carving and Duke's mooncakes remained, and this result was somewhat unexpected by everyone, but the competition was like this, and when you think about it, the result feels reasonable.

At this time, Cook stood up and was the first to support Duke, he said: "I'll give my opinion first, I think Duke's work is more like food in terms of materials, so I support him!"

He supported Duke, and there were others who supported Living Root Carving, and his views were first attacked, what is "more like food in terms of materials"? Everything that can be eaten is called food!

In the end, they still have to taste before they can make a decision, under Duke's reminder, eat in order, they found that the first three crystal mooncakes are delicate and sweet, and at the end, the five-kernel mooncakes made of nuts and despised in the previous life actually have a feeling of satisfaction, but compared to the taste of the live root carving, it is too simple!

At this point, the results are obvious.

Duke breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, at the beginning, he thought that for the elves living in the forest, the moon cake could first occupy the word novelty, and the crystal moon cake could win everyone's love from the appearance, and it belonged to the exquisite pastry, which also catered to the taste of the elves.

And with the common food in his previous life, he also felt a trace of pride and touch!

Subsequently, all the entries were eaten by everyone, which was a happy little high before the festival.

For Duke, the most anticipated thing is naturally to get the one hundred and fifty gold coins in his hands.

When the award was issued, he originally wanted to take the gold coins directly, but when he saw a one-person-high shovel in the kitchenware next to him, he chuckled in his heart, the shovel was actually made of blue steel!

Blue steel is a magic steel ingot, with excellent strength, hardness and stability, and it is naturally an excellent material for weapons and armor, but the current elves no longer have the ability and method to forge and use it, otherwise, it will not be preserved for the elves who lack high-level equipment.

Obviously, this shovel must have been left over from the elves in their heyday - a cooking shovel made of such good materials, you can imagine how rich the elves were in their heyday!

But Duke thought that this shovel might be a weapon for him!

Although it can't be forged into weapons and armor, for the druid, after transformation, he can use all the resources that belong to the body, although this blue steel shovel is just a kitchenware, its own attributes can greatly improve his various abilities after transformation: attack and defense should be improved.

Moreover, the shovel will take on an indigo sheen in the sun, and then you can see the layers of wavy texture on it, and with the knowledge he has learned, it feels like it is not as simple as it seems!

So, he chose this shovel almost without hesitation.

As soon as he took the shovel in his hand, he heard a disdainful sneer from the crowd, and when he looked back, it was Sarah, whom he hadn't seen in days—he had recently been involved in the recent exploration of the Whitelake tribe to the west of the mud swamps, and the two had not seen each other for a long time.

Looking at Sarah's reaction, it seems that she hasn't let go of the conflict between the two in the previous paragraph.

In fact, last month, someone asked Duke to go hunting with him, and he refused outright - he felt Sarah's shadow in it, not to mention that it was a critical period for him to improve his strength, even if he usually did not rush into danger.

Seeing him look over, Sara made a defiant gesture.

Duke ignored it, and for the rest of the day he was focused on the shovel, and his first harvest festival in this world passed during the appraisal of the shovel, and he didn't even remember what happened during the festival.

At night, after using up more than ninety gold of demonic powder, he finally identified the attribute of the magic pattern on this shovel: broken bones!

In this way, he also went from the original income of one hundred and fifty to thirty gold, but it was all worth it: going back to the source, this special effect came from "Armor Breaking", and the armor breaking came from the artifact "Mogras Crack: Sky Splitting Sword".

Because of this feature, as well as its creation process, this shovel has the name "Broken Bone Shovel", which is a sophisticated-level equipment!

Back then, a handful of kitchenware was made to a fine level......

Now, it's his weapon!
