"The ratio of men to women?"
Shado carefully recalled everything he saw in Cormansol. Whether on the surface or underground, it seemed that there were indeed more men than women.
He had subconsciously ignored this issue before, but now that Shi Feng could mention it, he realized it and confirmed to Shi Feng: "Are all Orientals in this world male?"
"Not exactly, but it's almost the same! Among the Easterners I know and have met, almost 90% are male! So in my grandfather's generation, in order to continue the bloodline, they had to choose elves as their significant other. .”
After saying that, Shi Feng waved in the direction of the kitchen. Mulian and another woman who looked like a wood elf came out of it.
But Shi Feng did not let them come over. Instead, he waved his hand and asked them to go about their business. He explained to Xia Duo sadly: "Except for me, almost all of my family are elves, and so is my wife." A wood elf, maybe in a few decades, my Eastern bloodline will completely disappear."
Xia Duo disagreed with this point, but considering that the elves are also a race that attaches great importance to family and tradition, he couldn't say anything to comfort him.
Perhaps Orientals should never have appeared in this world, and it was only a matter of time before they were completely assimilated.
Finally, I brought this heavy topic back to the transaction itself, "Will Chef Shi Feng be willing to trade with me?"
"No, there is no need for a transaction. If Lord Xia Duo really wants to promote oriental cuisine in his territory, I also hope to do my part."
“Then thank you so much, Chef Shi Feng!”
After the other party talked about this, Xia Duo naturally couldn't use gold coins or other things to destroy the true friendship, so he took out the latest "Great Xia Cuisine" and gave it to the other party.
"These are some small achievements made by the chefs in my territory under my guidance. Although there is still a big gap between the skills of Chef Shi Feng and Chef Shi Feng, the ideas are quite novel. I hope Chef Shi Feng will not refuse."
The original "Great Xia Cuisine" did not have an Elf version. However, in order to facilitate Lawrence's promotion of Great Xia delicacies when he went to the Kingdom of Akora for exchange and study, Shado specially added an Elf version, and has continued to update it since then.
What he is showing Shi Feng now is the latest version. Compared with the previous version, the biggest difference is the new methods and techniques related to the excellent ingredient of warp beast meat.
After that, the two had a more in-depth exchange of ideas about food. Shi Feng was very interested in Xia Duo's statement that "food is the first priority for the people" and insisted that this was the Eastern people's understanding of food.
Xia Duo was more interested in Shi Feng's cooking skills and experience. The two chatted for a long time, and they stopped until Shi Feng's daughter Mulian brought them tea.
"Lord Xia Duo, please wait a moment, I'll be back soon!"
After saying that, Shi Feng puffed out his smoke and ran to the kitchen. A moment later, he came to Sha Duo with two thick parchment notes and a bag of gold coins.
There are two thick notebooks, one is newer and the other is older. The leather binding of the old one is somewhat loosened, and there are traces of frequent flipping on the edge of the notebook. It seems that it should have been left by Shi Feng's ancestors. cooking notes.
This is truly an extremely precious gift!
Compared with before, the printed version of "Great Xia Cuisine" given by Xia Duo was a lot less meaningful, but after hesitating, he still took the two notebooks from Shi Feng's hand, but the bag of gold coins he Pushed back:
"The store is just for business. We didn't know each other before, so of course you have to pay for meals. If I come here next time, I will definitely not pay again."
"No, no, Lord Shado, I actually have something to say. The meal just now didn't require 500 Hillmel at all, 200 is more than enough!"
"Ha ha!"
Xia Duo glanced at Mulian who was peeking over at the kitchen. When the other party saw this, she immediately retracted her head, but Xia Duo didn't mind at all:
"Chef Shi Feng, your craftsmanship is worth these. Accept it, otherwise I will be embarrassed to come again next time. You should know that I don't lack these."
"Oh well."
After hesitating for a while, Shi Feng finally accepted the bag of gold coins, and then said, "Then let me prepare some special snacks for you!"
This Xia Duo did not refuse, but just asked another question before the other party left: "How did you come up with that earthy pumpkin soup?"
"That's not what I thought of, but my grandfather. There is a record in his notes about the earthy pumpkin soup."
Shi Feng pointed to the notes placed by Xia Duo on the table and explained: "At that time, a dwarf friend of my grandfather brought a red stone from the Dark Area to my grandfather, and it accidentally fell into a pot of pumpkin soup.
"My grandpa served it to the guests without paying attention. As a result, the taste was so special that the guests ordered one portion and were not satisfied but asked for another, but the second portion didn't have the same effect.
"After inspection, it was discovered that the source was the stone from the Dark Territory. Later, the store had a special earthy pumpkin soup, and King Yin Lisel even liked it after eating it!"
"Did King Yin Liselmian really come to the store?" Xia Duo was a little curious when he heard the dwarf outside the door mention it before, but now Shi Feng asked again, is it true?
Regarding this, Shi Feng did not hide anything, "What my grandfather said should be true, but at that time he didn't know that it was Prince Mian who came. It was the palace envoy from Shangcheng District who came over the next day and ordered another one. Then he asked the store to keep it quiet, so grandpa thought that Mian Wang came the day before, and later publicized it but did not stop it from above, so this idea has been passed down."
According to what you say, it’s really possible!
Just thinking that several generations have passed since this Shi Feng restaurant, Mian Wang is still the same Mian Wang, Xia Duo can't help feeling a little emotional, maybe this will also be his real experience in the future.
Now that he understood that King Yin Liselmian had most likely drank this earthy pumpkin soup, Sha Duo no longer doubted the dangers of the soup, but he was still very interested in the stone from the Dark Territory.
What is the principle? Can it be used in other flavors?
After putting forward the idea of experimenting with a few red stones from the Underdark, Shi Feng decisively expressed his support: "From my grandfather to my generation, many ways have been thought of to develop new applications for that stone. But they all ended in failure. If Lord Xia Duo discovers anything, please tell me."
"Yeah, definitely!"
After receiving Xia Duo's assurance, Shi Feng ran to the kitchen with excited steps. Immediately afterwards, Mulian sent a small cloth bag. Through the cloth bag, Xia Duo could feel the continuous radiation from inside. A little bit of inspiration.
Most things in the Underdark contain radiation, but not many have proven application value. If a radiation cooking route can be developed, it will be an important addition to the connotation of Daxia cuisine.
