Goo-dong -

After struggling to swallow the dry food he had just put in his mouth, Big Brother Royce swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, the moment Rorschach knocked on the dirt bag, the irresistible fragrance seemed to be pervasive, instantly burrowing into everyone's noses, making people swallow saliva unconsciously.

Not only Royce and the others, but even the guards around them who were on guard and eating their own dry food also looked like they had seen a ghost, and they really didn't understand why this 'bitter bamboo bird' could be so fragrant......

"Sister Anna, Heimquis, come here and get ready to go. Rorschach took out a thin rectangular [writing knife] from the long black package he had brought with him when he had just taken the shovel.

As we all know, the "Writing Knife" is a knife used by chefs to handle small animals such as poultry, and including this "Writing Knife", there are a total of seven completely different types of knives in Rorschach's package, which are designed according to the functions required to handle different ingredients, which he specially asked a master blacksmith to custom-build.

As soon as the [Wen Knife] got started, Rorschach separated the flesh and blood of the two 'bitter bamboo birds' in front of him in the space of breathing.

Call it a day!

"Heimqueth, you send this one to Shirley and them, and by the way, let the guards taste some too. After thinking about it, Rorschach pointed to one of the 'bitter bamboo birds' and instructed Heimquis.

"Yes. "Heimkis took the 'bitter bamboo bird' away with the lotus leaf dirt bag.

"This is the little brother I know. The black-haired girl smiled.

"Come on, if it weren't for Sister Anna's face, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to them. Rorschach said disapprerovingly.

"Okay, I know, let's eat it, I can't wait. ”

Seeing that Heimkis had already returned from sending the 'Bitter Bamboo Bird', Anna quickly filled three portions of the deboned 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' meat and handed two of them to Rorschach and Heimquis respectively.

When the black-haired girl couldn't wait to taste it, there was a look of enjoyment on her face, "This is really a supreme delicacy, little brother, you are so amazing, you can actually make the 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' so delicious." ”

"It's good to like it. Rorschach smiled.

As a chef, there's nothing more comforting than being complimented on your craft.

After seeing the reaction of the black-haired girl, Rorschach also began to taste his masterpiece.

But as soon as he had eaten two bites, he heard a sound of footsteps.

Looking in the direction from which the footsteps came, I saw an old man in a purple robe walking briskly from the woods, staring closely at Rorschach and them as he went, his hands rubbing together rapidly.

When he saw Rorschach and the others enjoying their meal, the purple-robed old man muttered, "It seems that my nose has not degenerated...... This strange aroma, no matter how far away it is, can't hide its deliciousness......"

"Huh?" Seeing the strange purple-robed old man who came uninvited, Rorschach frowned.

"Young man, can you divide my old man's points?" The purple-robed old man didn't care about any etiquette, walked quickly to Rorschach, looked at the 'bitter bamboo bird' meat in Rorschach's hand and couldn't wait to ask.

"Meeting is fate, we can meet in this barren mountains and mountains, it is fate, just a little food, old man, you can just feel free. Soon, Rorschach's brow furrowed.

He never hesitated to share delicious food, even with strange old men he had never met.

"Thanks, then you're welcome. ”

The purple-robed old man took the cutlery by himself, and took some 'bitter bamboo bird' meat from the lotus leaf soil bag and put it on his plate.

"Okay!!" When he took the first bite, he slapped his leg violently, and his eyes lit up, "If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' here......, right?

"Wait, let me think about it, don't talk just yet. ”

The purple-robed old man raised his eyebrows and thought, and suddenly, his eyes saw the direction of the remaining 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' meat, to be precise, at the location of the remaining 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' meat, especially its container, "I understand, I see!"

"You should have salted the 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' beforehand and chosen a particularly strong aromatic wine, but this alone is not enough to neutralize the bitterness of the 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' deep into the bone marrow, so you should re-accentuate the flavor of the wine when choosing the cooking method...... The 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' is wrapped in lotus leaves, and then wrapped in the same sake jar and heated, so that while cooking, the aroma of the sake can be re-infiltrated by the earth......

"And because of the lotus leaf separation, this 'bitter bamboo bird' meat still has a trace of the fragrance of lotus leaves, adding flavor, am I right, young man?" the purple-robed old man looked at Luo Xia Dao with a slight smugness.

"I really thought that in this barren mountain and wilderness, I could meet an insider like you, old man, could it be that you are also a chef, old man? Rorschach had to admire the purple-robed old man's vicious eyes.

"Chef......? As for the title, everyone else calls me 'ogre'. The purple-robed old man smiled.

"Ogre? is a strange name. Rorschach repeated the name, jotted it down, and without thinking much about it, then smiled and said, "Old Ogre, you guessed very accurately, most of them are in line with the facts, but you still missed one of the steps. ”

The purple-robed old man was stunned.

"In addition to what you said about pickling in wine and wrapping it in the lees of the same kind of sake to taste it again, there is actually a third step, without which the 'bitter bamboo bird' will not be unpleasant, but it will not have such a delicious taste. Rorschach said slowly.

"Step 3......?

The purple-robed old man was pondering, and the next moment, he looked in the direction of the firewood that had been extinguished.

"Looks like you've guessed the old ogre, yes, this third step is used in the way of heating. Rorschach continued.

"I see, this third step is to use the same wine as fuel again, not only to intensify the combustion, but also to strengthen the penetration of this wine into the 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' again, high, really high!" the purple-robed old man looked at Rorschach with some admiration.

"Don't dare to be, old ogre, you can see all this without much effort, and you are even more clever. ”

"Hahahaha, let's not boast about each other here, the deliciousness comes first, let's enjoy it first. The purple-robed old man laughed, laughing and not forgetting to continue to stuff the 'Bitter Bamboo Bird' meat into his mouth.

In a short time, the two of them swept away all the delicious food on their respective plates.

The purple-robed old man put down the tableware and looked at Rorschach with satisfaction, "I haven't eaten this fresh taste for a long time, and I'm very satisfied with this meal...... Well, but I can't eat you for nothing, how can I repay you?"

"You don't have to give in return, it's just a little bit of food. Rorschach hurriedly shook his head and refused.

"No, no, no, it's not going to work. The purple-robed old man's ogre face was grim, and he couldn't agree with Rorschach's opinion, "Delicious things have great value in themselves, and this is not something that can be measured by the value of ingredients. ”
