Chapter Twenty-Six: The Fruit of the Move

The sky is high and the clouds are light, the tea mountains are green, the breeze is blowing, and the fragrance is pleasant.

In the glade surrounded by tea trees, there was a boxy stove, and a young man stood there, leaning over to wash his hands.

Luo He opened the package of the tea cake, smelled the fragrance of the aged Yunqing tea, and caught a glimpse of the tool handed by a plain hand.

"Tea knife." Li Wanqing explained: "It's used to pry tea cakes. ”

Luo He was a little surprised: "The tools are so complete? ”

"That's nature." Li Wanqing said with a hint of pride in her tone, "I also brought a purple clay pot and a tea cup, if you need it, I will help you take it out." ”

On this trip to the tea mountain, she obviously had the opportunity to taste Luo He's craftsmanship, so she made all preparations early.

Luo He was silent for a moment.

Team, you're prepared!

However, I have to admit it.

The tea mountain scenery is picturesque, the fragrance is refreshing, and if it is paired with the fragrant and fragrant tea dishes, it is really refreshing.

Yunqing tea pays attention to brewing, and the properly processed tea soup will evaporate out cloud-like white smoke and glow with a bright luster, as if the rain has passed through the sky and the clouds have opened and the fog has dispersed, hence the name.

Luo He's technique is extremely professional, and after brewing the tea several times, he gets a pot of tea soup with bright color and clouds.

The fragrance of tea is refreshing, wafting towards him, and a strange color flashed between Li Wanqing's beautiful eyes, and he couldn't help but say:

"Forest ranger, do you need to learn to make tea?"

The implication was that the technique was so professional that she wondered if Luo He had studied the field of tea.

"I just scratch the surface."

Luo He said: "After all, tea is also an ingredient, which can add color and fragrance. ”

Li Wanqing tapped her head and said:

"And then? What are you going to do with the tea soup to lure out the beasts that are harming the tea plantation? ”

"I originally wanted to make tea-flavored chicken."

Luo He said: "But the reed chicken has been eating a little too much recently. ”

"So I decided to change the ingredients and make a 'braised pork with Yunqing tea'."

The braised pork is rich in sauce, fat but not greasy, and the color is very important, and the bright red sauce color can make diners have an appetite.

In addition to relieving greasyness, Yunqing tea soup can add tea flavor to dishes and enhance the color through the ripe and bright red tea soup.

This dish of braised pork with fragrant tea and strong red flavor is the main dish that Luo He wants to make today.

Just do it.

Luo He inquired about Li Fupo, and was a little surprised to learn that there was really refrigerated black spear pork in her storage space device.

Anything can be pulled out anytime, anywhere...... Are you 'Tinker Bell' Doraemon?

However, it is also convenient.

Luo He cleaned the pork belly and began to marinate it with Huadiao wine and various spices.

Li Wanqing saw that Luo He was starting to be busy, and called:

"Luo He, can I have a cup of tea soup first?"

"Of course you can, it doesn't taste good when it's cold." Luo He looked at him attentively and replied casually.

Li Wanqing stepped forward briskly, professionally brewed two cups of Yunqing tea, and handed the other cup of tea to the eye-piercing red panda.

"Huh?" Xiao Jiu was a little surprised.

"Look at the way you want to drink." Li Wanqing proposed: "We can wait while drinking." ”

Xiao Jiu's eyes slowly bloomed with light, and Luo He's interrupting voice came from his ears:

"But don't finish it, I'll keep it for cooking."

"Huh~" Xiao Jiu fainted, lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and then took the initiative to get up, sipping Yunqing tea, and smiling from time to time.

The host is for my sake.

If I accidentally drink enough, I won't be able to eat the dishes later~

After the pork belly is marinated, the meat pieces are blanched in a pot under Luohe Liang's water, and then another oil pot is raised, heat over high heat, add green onion and ginger spices and start stir-frying.

After that, Luo He stir-fried the rock sugar to make the sugar color, and then put the soy sauce and pork belly pieces into the pot together. The scent has drifted away, but the finishing touch is still missing.

Picking up the fragrant Yunqing tea soup, Luo He poured it into the pot.

The aroma of meat and tea converge with each other, and Luo He adds a little dried hawthorn slices to harmonize the sour taste of the fruit and highlight the rich fragrance.

Next, you only need to simmer over medium heat, without covering the lid, and let the aroma of this 'cloud green tea braised pork' slowly drift away until it attracts the attention of the beast.

In the tea garden, Li Wanqing sat on a simple chair, with a folding outdoor picnic table in front of her, holding a tea cup in one hand and supporting her cheeks with the other, staring at Luo He's back.

Luo He left the stove, walked to the chair next to Li Wanqing and sat down, seeing that she was still motionless, staring at the pot of braised pork on the stove.

"How long will it take to eat?" Li Wanqing asked lazily.

"Simmer for at least half an hour." Luo He replied.

The high ponytail beauty held her cheeks and sighed softly.

At this time, her eyes suddenly froze, and her sixth sense took effect, and she suddenly got up and looked around:

"There's something coming over, Luo He, and there's a lot of it."

Luo He was stunned for a moment, then got up, turned his head around, and looked surprised.

I saw that in all directions, there were dense green pet beasts, jumping up and down to this side, surrounding the surroundings like a tide.

The appearance of this group of pet beasts resembles green apple-flavored jelly, with tender green leaves on their heads.

[Pet Beast Name: Grass Slime]

【Attribute: Grass】

[Description: A green slime with young grass growing on its head usually burrows into the ground and relies on grass to disguise itself.] The character is lazy, but in order to ingest food, it will burst out with amazing bounce power. 】

[Race Moves: Merge, Impact, Venom]

"Slime?" Luo He was a little surprised.

In this pet beast world, there are slimes?

Although the appearance is cute, this number is too much, and it is really a bit infiltrating!

"Looks like your plan is working."

Li Wanqing glanced at Luo He and said, "These grass slimes were attracted by your tea dishes." ”

Luo He looked at the large number of slimes that were getting closer and closer, and his tone took on a hint of solemnity:

"In other words, this group of grass slimes is the culprit of this case?"

Li Wanqing put her chin on her hand, her beautiful eyes flashed, and said:

"Slime is not a pet beast native to Donghuang, but is introduced from abroad."

"In other words, these grass slimes are invasive alien species in this tea mountain."

Li Wanqing looked around and said, "Because of the strong reproductive ability, there are no natural enemies, and the food is extensive. Therefore, it has led to the disappearance of local pet animals, the corrosion of tea and many other phenomena. ”

Between the words, Luo He looked at more and more grass slimes, swallowed his saliva, and said:

"Team Strong...... It seems that the grass slimes of the entire tea mountain are pouring towards us! ”

"Don't panic." The half-breed beauty muttered, "The reason for the invasion of this batch of species, um... There is a high probability that it is an illegal release, or that the trainer has an accident. ”

"Team Li, they want to snatch that pot of braised pork!" Luo He shouted.

Li Wanqing raised her head suddenly, and a few slimes jumping towards the stove were reflected in her eyes.

Quietly, the eyes of the tall ponytail beauty revealed a trace of coldness:

"It's time for something to happen!"

The brilliant cyan summoning array lit up in front of Li Wanqing, the wind blew her horsetail, and a tall and fierce white wolf appeared from the summoning array.

The white wolf is about two meters tall, with a golden totem on the top of his forehead, his eyes are glowing with blue, his hair is flowing, his fangs are bared, and he looks up and roars: "Woo!! ”

[Pet Beast Name: Northern Emperor Wolf King]

【Attribute: Wind】

[Description: The embodiment of the north wind, it will set off storms and thunder when running.] Legend has it that under the aurora of the snowfield, humans who witness the running figure of the wolf king will be blessed by the north wind. 】

Luo He was full of question marks.

Just for a pot of braised pork.

Team Force, it seems to have started to run away?

Sensing the terrifying intimidation emanating from the wolf king, the grass slimes slowly moved away from the stove and gradually gathered together.

They merge and merge until they merge into a giant slime that is more than three meters tall, with a plant overhead resembling a large tree.

The giant slime casts a dark shadow, as if the grass slimes of the entire tea mountain have merged into this "Slime King".

Immediately, the giant slime let out a dull cry: "Roar! ”

Hand over that pot of goodies!

When she was angry, Li Wanqing showed a soft smile and did not speak.

In an instant, he didn't see the movements of the Northern Emperor Wolf King at all.

Luo He only heard the 'boom' explosion in his ears, and an electric light flashed in front of him.

The hill-like slime was gone, leaving only the white smoke scattered from the scorched pit in place.

Luo He was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Wanqing: "It is... Dead? ”

"I was just knocked unconscious and locked in the space stone, what to do with it depends on my mood."

Li Wanqing said lightly: "After all, they almost touched the pot of braised pork." ”

Luo He pursed his lips and nodded in agreement.

The Woman Who Protects Food...... It's scary!

"Here's for you."

Li Wanqing threw Luo He a crystal clear fruit, "It's the giant slime just now, the naturally formed move fruit in the body, which is very helpful to pet beasts." ”

"Move fruit?" Luo He was a little puzzled.

"Eating the fruit that can make the pet beast awaken a specific move, the cause of which has not yet been determined by the scientific research community, but it is beneficial and harmless." Li Wanqing explained.

Luo He was relieved a lot, and when he looked at this fruit, the corresponding information appeared in the pet beast space.

[Move Fruit: Leaping Strike: After eating, you can awaken the pet beast to the mid-level move "Leaping Strike". It is ineffective against pet beasts that are not strong enough to master the move. 】

"Leap Strike: A mid-tier move that bursts out with the bouncing power of your whole body, leaps into the sky, and launches a slam attack."

Luo He pondered for a moment.

From this point of view, this move fruit can make Xiao Jiu enhance his bounce power.

The nine-section wolf's combat specialization happens to require mastering the move "Leaping Strike", so this fruit is quite useful.

As for why the slime mastered "Leaping Strike", it is believed that it is because of its amazing bounce power.

Luo He was not polite, put away the fruit of the move, raised his head, and saw the rich woman standing next to the stove, looking forward to it.

Li Wanqing looked back, hesitated for a moment, and said angrily: "This pot of braised pork...... It smells so good. ”

Although the truth has been revealed, it does not prevent yourself from enjoying a hearty picnic!

"It's ready to go." Luo He said: "But it's better to wait for me to make two bowls of chazuke." There is meat and rice, so that it tastes more fragrant. ”
