Chapter 37 Ingredients (Thank you for the reward from the alliance leader who does not leave Nanshan!) )
Salmon sashimi also tastes good, but Ian doesn't like to eat raw, plus this is a different world, who knows if the fish in this place are the same thing as the earth, and if there are any parasites that everyone doesn't know?
Roasting, of course, is a relatively safe option.
Hilliard hadn't come back yet, Elan was still sleeping, Ian packed up his clothes and found a few more holes in his trouser legs, which made him frown slightly: "Looks like I need to buy a new dress...... It's okay in summer now, no matter how tough Terra's physique is, it's inconvenient in autumn and winter. ”
The boy took off his soaked clothes, dried them by the brazier, and began to process the salmon.
Picking up the fish splitting knife and sharpening the blade on the whetstone, Ian skillfully cuts off the head of the fish, then cuts off the body, and finally separates the tail. Later, he will cook the soup with the tail and head and bones, and it will not be wasted.
Next, the body of the fish is cut vertically in the direction of the bones, and after Ian carefully takes out the bones and bones, what is left is pure meat.
This salmon is indeed at the level of blue mist, and the flesh of the fish looks quite tender, and even smells of a faint sweetness, which makes Ian swallow his saliva and feel hungry.
"It's a pity that there are not enough spices and oil, otherwise, frying the fish meat and bones, and then stewing the thick soup, it is much fresher than simply boiling the fish in salt water......
Ian felt a little sorry for the ingredients - he often cooks by himself on Earth, and his cooking skills are quite good, but this time the salmon meat is definitely the top ingredient on Earth, but he can't fully release its deliciousness.
"Grilled fish is also good – after all, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest way to cook them."
But he was always optimistic.
Once the fish was processed, Ian salted it with a layer of maroon sea salt, then removed the silver coins from the ashes and lit a fire.
If the silver coins given by Hilliard want to be old, they will have to be 'raised' for a while longer, but Ian is not in a hurry, Orsna's previous savings and sleeping powder are all funds that can be safely used, and that is enough to live for a long time.
While preparing the grilled fish, he planned to dispose of the herbs given by Elder Pudde.
"Then again, the Beria Condensation Grass......" Picking up the wooden box, the boy's eyes moved slightly: "What level of sublimation plant is that?" ”
Ian had been in possession of the 'Foresight' for some time, and he felt that he had not fully realized the potential of this psychic ability.
But at the very least, he has categorized the many 'colors' revealed in the prophetic horizon into a rudimentary system.
After opening the Foresight Horizon, Ian's vision will transform into a world of various colors of mist, and according to the trend from evil to good, the good and bad items can be divided into different categories and levels.
Black and red, which represent good and bad luck.
Gray, white, blue, and purple represent the rarity of items.
and for the time being, undefinable, independent gold.
Judging by Ian's instincts and the events he experienced, black represents the crisis of death - the kind that will definitely die, and if you don't fight hard, you will never change. The danger level is about the same as that of an eight-year-old child against his uncle who smoked mushrooms and went crazy and colluded with the natives.
Red is a bloody disaster, which is life-threatening. But it is not inevitable and inevitable, the example is probably 'choose to venture north, you will be attacked by a pack of jungle leopards' - as long as you don't go, it's fine, and if you do encounter it, you may not be able to defeat it.
This represents good or bad luck.
And then there is the rarity of something.
Gray occupies the vast majority of the horizon of foresight, and it represents a variety of common raw materials that are of inferior quality, flawed and old, or unprocessed, such as sand and earth, old bricks and tiles, and wooden tables that have been used for more than ten years.
White is slightly less than gray and represents ordinary, normal, newly produced furniture, or processed materials such as kiln bricks, glass and algae oil.
The white mist was thick and dark, the lightest was almost gray, it was a half-year-old wooden chair with a red shirt, and the thickest was the fine iron hand and half sword hanging at the door of the blacksmith's shop, which was worth about five thalers, and was the proud work of the blacksmith.
As for blue, it is rare. It has surpassed all ordinary, common materials, most of which are related to sublimation materials, and have extraordinary effects - Orsna's deformed bones, Supor sleep powder are in this category.
The last purple was rare—Ian didn't know what purple meant, because it was a streamer he saw from afar as he passed by the Viscount's Palace.
In the entire Harrison Port, only the Viscount's Mansion has a purple light.
Elsewhere, no matter how rich or mysterious it is, it's just a blue mist.
Inferior gray, ordinary white, rare blue, rare purple.
This is what Ian now knows about the item rank.
On top of that, there may be higher orders such as 'excellence', 'epic', 'legend', 'mythology', etc., but that's another thing, at least Ian hasn't seen anything of this level yet.
As for the golden light on his own teacher, Hilliard......
Ian also didn't know what kind of golden light was circulating on Hilliard's body.
Is it 'fortune' or 'rarity'?
And gold, is it excellence above purple, epic or legendary?
Even...... Is it a myth?
Everything is not clear, so it can only be classified separately.
The only thing he knew was that the golden brilliance was enough to change his future.
This time at the fishing market, Ian was sure that his ability could indeed distinguish the rare ingredients hidden among the many ordinary ingredients, and no matter how much gray-white mist there was, it could not block out the blue light.
"Let me see."
At this moment, Ian opened the foresight horizon and observed the herbs in the box.
The shape of the Berian condensation grass resembles a sharp grass, but it is sharper, it is like a pine needle at the top, dark green throughout, with a thin layer of white fluff, it is a little stinging to the touch, and it smells like a little lighter pine resin.
It usually grows with pointed grasses, and only a skilled herb picker can select it from a wide range of weeds based on the shape of its tip.
The medicine bag is a sun-dried condensing grass, which has a better condensing effect, but the onset of action is relatively slow, while the freshly harvested condensing grass is a lighter green, which can be used as an emergency analgesic, but has no contemplative effect.
All Ian saw in his eyes was mist.
In the Foresight Horizon, the medicine bag is light blue, mainly because there are many other auxiliary herbs in the medicine box, and the main material is blue, while the other materials are just ordinary white.
"Very intimately divided into ten days......"
Muttering to himself, Ian took out a packet of herbs from the medicine box, studied them carefully for a moment, then untied them and placed them in the boiling water—and just after the herbs were submerged in the water, the mist rose, and a faint fragrance filled the room, smelling like a light rain in the cold of early spring.
It takes half an hour to boil the herbs, just right to grill the fish. The fire is already in full swing, and the fir wood burns with a natural woody fragrance, and Ian uses a wooden skewer to skewer the processed fatty fish meat and sandwich it next to the fire.
Then there's waiting.
Under the high temperature of the flame, the salt particles that were originally applied to the fish began to crystallize and peel off, and the surface of the fish meat became dry and wrinkled, and then cracked, but then the inner layer of delicate meat appeared, and the delicious oil and water continued to gush out and drip with the fire of the fire, and from time to time the flame suddenly became more vigorous for a moment, whirring and burning.
The room was soon filled with the fragrance of herbs and fat, and smelling the steaming aroma of meat, Ian, who had been hungry for a long time, couldn't help but sigh: "Such a good fish, even if it is not sliced and eaten raw, I am afraid it tastes good." ”
He took down a skewer of fish steak that had been grilled, and in the Foresight Horizon, the grilled fish steak was visible to the naked eye, surrounded by pale blue fluorescent light, and a mysterious mist filled with it, containing a mysterious and delicious charm.
Ian, who was already hungry at the fishing market, swallowed and took a bite.
When you land, the hot taste fills the mouth, and the salty taste of sea salt is really delicious when paired with the tender fat aroma of the fish.
Ian chewed on the juicy fish steak a few times, and could clearly feel the smoothness of the fish cut through his teeth, the unique texture of the fish and the taste of seawater swallowed into his stomach, and the stomach that had been waiting for a long time began to digest, and the second bite was already down.
As a mouthful of fish meat is swallowed and slid into the stomach, the blue mist melts in the abdomen, and a sense of satisfaction, comfort spreads throughout the body, driving away fatigue, and even the very top of the fingers and toes have a tingling sensation, which is the power of blood rushing to the ends.
At this moment, Ian felt that his physical strength was rapidly recovering, and as the 'second heart' of the virtual source seed began to function, he felt that a new force was surging from his stomach, which was a different kind of life force from physical strength, which swept through every corner of his body, rejuvenating muscles and organs.
This feeling is very strange, as if he originally thought that he was healthy and energetic, but in fact it was also a sub-health, far from reaching the upper limit of physical strength.
"It's not all."
At this moment, the boy keenly sensed that a small whirlpool seemed to appear in his heart, where the virtual source seed was located...... It is spinning and beating, just like the heart is running the blood of the whole body, refining and purifying the vitality called 'essentia' from the stomach and blood.
Then, the more refined essentia is transported to every corner of the body!
With a low groan, Ian felt as comfortable as coming home and soaking in a suitable warm tub after a long day of cold winds.
Not only that, but more physical strength rises...... The ears and eyes have also become sharper.
Now, Ian is far more energetic than ever, and he's on his way to the best he's ever been!
When Hilliard returned to the house, he was amazed.
"This scent ......"
I was a little puzzled just outside the house, but after entering the house, I confirmed it thoroughly, and the old knight was stunned: "Herbs, and the taste of essentia food-sublimation materials?" ”
"How did the kid get it?"
Puzzled, he walked into the room and saw Ian taking down four of the grilled fish steaks that had been scented and oily, and placing them on a wooden plate.
"Teacher? The night was hard. ”
Seeing the old knight returning, Ian, who had just boiled the concentrating herbal water and was about to put it in the shade for a whole day, turned his head sideways.
He greeted with a smile, "Here's a freshly made fish steak." ”
"It's a pity that there is no sauce and oil, otherwise it might have tasted better."
