Byron pretended to be obsessed on the surface, but inside he was alarmed.
This "recipe" is not like those ordinary things, whose past and present life can be seen through [historical echoes] with just one glance.
There is no doubt that it not only records forbidden knowledge, but is also a strange object with some extraordinary power!
The brain works at high speed.
"Salman wants to solve the contradiction between extraordinary abilities and illnesses. Orthodox medicine has no way to solve it, so he can only turn to [forbidden knowledge] outside the sequence.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why he dares to break through the bottom line of human beings and use 'the same kind' as his staple food.
And the person with the highest degree of homogeneity is probably a 'chef' like me!
However, given that those chefs disappeared quietly in the past instead of disappearing into the captain's cabin, this strange object must have some necessary conditions for its effectiveness.
There is no need to fall out directly just yet. "
The [Navigation Log] does not record all the secrets encountered.
But as long as a record is formed, there must be some important connection with Byron himself.
Just like now, a sailboat is the most basic survival unit on the sea. Isn't it a matter of life and death for the people on the same boat to be on the same boat?
Byron seemed to have used a lot of willpower to move his eyes away from the cookbook.
Putting the plate with three dishes and one soup in his hand, he respectfully placed it in front of Salman, not forgetting to apologize:
“As a chef, I’m always keen to collect all kinds of novel recipes, so I’m sorry.
Mr. Captain, please taste the dinner I have prepared for you. "
With that said, Byron followed the dining etiquette of nobles and took the lead in unveiling the pre-dinner soup - snapper soup.
Salman, who was looking at him with interest, immediately diverted his attention.
This [gourmet] seemed to see a flash of light at the moment the dish was opened.
The fish meat, fish skin, and gelatin from the bones... have all been stewed in the soup, leaving only a bowl of milk-like pure white.
Garnish with a sprig of emerald green celery for a delightful treat.
It was completely different from what he had seen before, so he couldn't wait to pick up the silver spoon and take a bite.
His blood-colored eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out:
"Fresh! So fresh!"
When [Gourmet] is a first-level servant, he will gain the passive ability [Poison Identification] and can identify all foods that are poisonous to humans.
Even if you are thrown into a virgin forest that you have never been to, you will never be poisoned or starved to death.
He has never thought that the "curse" on him is actually just because he eats too well, rather than being cursed by wealth.
Once I started drinking, I couldn't stop drinking. I picked up the bowl in a moment and drank all the stewed purine.
"Ha, it's not like the fish soup I've had in the past, which relied on various precious spices to cover up the fishy smell, but it also covered up the original flavor of the food.
There is no butter, cream, or egg yolk to dominate.
This is how fish should taste.
My lips, tongue, stomach, and the senses that had been gradually dulling seemed to be filled with vitality again.
So delicious! "
The corners of his eyes sparkled, and he no longer cared about dining etiquette, and opened the other three dinner plates with his own hands.
The first plate was four or five lobsters cut in half with buttery garlic sauce.
In the past, most of the upper-class people who considered themselves noble basically did not eat this kind of seafood, and even thought it was actually a kind of insect.
Nearly all the catch was fed to the livestock, as well as to the poor, prisoners, and servants.
It wasn't until the king of the Iris Kingdom, a major gourmet country, that he highly praised this dish during his palace banquet that it gradually became popular among the upper class.
Nowadays, the only cooking method is boiling, and the taste is relatively simple.
There are still not many people eating, so the coastal areas are full of them, and there are quite a few on this uninhabited island.
Cooked just right, the shrimp meat is plump and chewy, and paired with garlic sauce, the soul mate of seafood, Salman was conquered by it in an instant.
The second plate of food was a bit strange.
The carapace-like head has a bright enamel color, and ruby-like flesh grows on a sleeve as soft as snakeskin.
Smooth and transparent tentacles extend from the casing.
The tentacles are equally showy, with flesh, marble, and gray necks and bright orange tips.
When he saw what was inside, Salman couldn't help but was stunned and said a little unsure:
"Is this... a barnacle?"
Byron waved his fingers pretending to be profound:
"No, no, no, this is no ordinary barnacle, but the king... cough, the most delicious gooseneck barnacle in the world!"
The [Navigation Log] shows that gooseneck barnacles from the two worlds have similar habits. They are fixed on floating objects in the ocean. They are widely distributed in the world's oceans and can be harvested in all seasons.
Not many people eat it in this world, but it was one of the most expensive seafood in the previous life.
This approach is extremely simple.
Put some ginger sprouts and salt in the pot, boil the water, then put in the barnacles and boil. It is best eaten fresh when boiled in clean water.
There is no need to add any condiments, it is already amazingly delicious on its own.
After repeatedly confirming that the barnacles were not poisonous, Salman half-convincedly picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth.
His eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt the unparalleled sweetness exploding on his tongue, making his whole body feel as if he was about to float.
"This taste... It's like the concentrated essence of the entire sea explodes in your mouth, with countless fish and shellfish jumping on your tongue.
This kind of taste I have never experienced before is so delicious! "
After eating this, Salman couldn't help but burst into tears.
He felt that what he had eaten before was simply rubbish.
'So, I absolutely cannot die. If I die, I will never be able to eat this kind of good food again! '
Food strengthened his desire to survive, but it also made him eat...more.
The last set, while not unusual, was his favorite in its own right.
—The same purine bomb: lamb.
Byron also thoughtfully prepared two dishes, cumin lamb chops and hand-caught lamb.
On the boat of a [gourmet], naturally there are plenty of spices on board. In addition to chili peppers, there are also cumin, pepper...
The cumin lamb chops are charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the hand-caught lamb is soft but not rotten, tender but not woody, fresh but not sour, and paired with minced garlic, Salman is hooked.
Paired with a glass of beer chilled with cold water, it is extremely comfortable and life is bliss.
What a garlic peeling fairy in mink, I'm in heaven now!
"So satisfying, Mr. Byron, you are the best chef I have ever seen!"
On the other hand, Byron watched him eat with gusto, and couldn't help but think of the goats that were bleating for a long time in the sheep pen next to the kitchen.
And...pirates who kept lining up to go in and come out with their belts in hand, all with tired looks on their faces.
His face couldn't help but turn a little blue.
In this era, sheep were brought on board sailing ships as a necessity, in addition to serving as a very rare fresh food reserve.
The more important use is actually... ugh~.
The discipline on a warship is far greater than that on a pirate ship. Byron has never seen this kind of thing with his own eyes before.
But these pirates, who were much more lax, were different. They almost destroyed his outlook on life.
He swore that he would never eat mutton on the "Man-Eating Shark" again in his life.
Even if you kill them, you won’t eat them.
If he becomes a captain, he must add one to his "Ten Commandments of Pirates": the only way to use sheep is to eat them!
After Salman felt that his already extremely hungry appetite was completely satisfied, his spiritual glow became more and more lively.
The eyes secretly looking at Byron became more and more greedy:
'Staple food: same kind!
The higher the cooking skill, the higher the degree of homogeneity with me, and the better the food effect.
I stole the [Strange Item Bloody Mary's Gourmet Recipe] from the [Thirst Blood Order], drained all the food knowledge, and made it into the best 'staple food'.
Unfortunately, I don’t know what the [Cutting Inscription] is that activates this strange object.
We can only use its most basic functions to develop the only formula.
But it was enough for me to perform a ceremony to completely resolve my troubles. '
'Soon, soon.
No cook can resist the charm of this cookbook, so choose it as your reward, Mr. Byron.
If you can't understand its secrets, even a low-sequence transcendent will be helpless, let alone a mere mortal.
You...will be mine sooner or later! '
I just don’t know if it’s an illusion.
The pain that usually only occurred in the early morning before was now vaguely impatient to show off.
