At noon, the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group brought Lu Xi to a stop and rested on the spot.
The route Lu Xi chose was to the northwest of Kuwa Village. From the map, there was first a vast plain, and then a lake.
Clyde questioned the route chosen by Lu Xi, but there was nothing he could do. The direction of the novice mission guide was here. Lu Xi insisted again and again, but Clyde could only accept it with a frown.
As mentioned before, the direction displayed in the novice task guide will adjust itself according to Lu Xi's moving position, but the direction of the guide each time is not directly located at the farm.
Just along the way to the farm, there will be many marked points. After reaching one of them, the next point will be unlocked.
Anyone who has played games knows that when the system automatically finds a path, it takes all kinds of remote and detoured routes. It can go around twice, never just one time.
Unfortunately, the same goes for Lu Xi's golden finger.
It doesn't mean that Lu Xi can only follow the pointed points. If Lu Xi has to take the route in the opposite direction and gets further and further away from the point originally planned by the game system, then re-plan the route to the nearest point.
And there is no need for Lu Xi to go to a specific location, he only needs to reach a general range.
There is some unintelligentness among the intelligence, but it is quite intelligent among the unintelligentness.
Lu Xi felt how convenient it was to go with the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group.
First Clyde gave the signal, and then Helene found a flat place suitable for resting and brought the entire team over.
Then Xiulan used the earth element spell to remove all the weeds and stones on the ground to create a clean open space. Dina used the wood element spell to set up defensive alerts around it.
Others took turns patrolling and defending the surrounding area.
Lu Xi didn't need to do anything. She only had to watch the people in the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group work, then sit on the seat prepared for her and wait for others to finish their work.
This made Lu Xi very uncomfortable. She had never thought that traveling could be so easy.
Clyde lit the fire. He was an elemental warrior with the fire element attribute. Although he could not easily create a ball of fire like an elemental mage, there was still no problem in building a fire.
Dina took out some cooking tools from the contract package, skillfully set up a shelf on top of the fire and put the metal pots on it.
The pot is not big, and can probably cook food for two people. It is obviously not enough for the entire team. Before Lu Xi could ask, Xiu Lan, who was next to him, also took out his contract package and took a set of obviously more powerful ones from it. Big, more expensive and more complete cooking tools are coming out.
But he didn't do it himself. Instead, Kagli put down Lu Xi's luggage, took the cooking tools from Xiulan's hand, put up the pot, and played with the ingredients skillfully.
Then came White, who also set up the pot.
Lu Xi looked puzzled. Dina explained to Lu Xi that their dragon-hunting mercenary group was often divided into several teams and worked separately, so cooking tools and the like were also divided into several parts and carried by each one.
You can't just carry it all with one person and then separate it, and other people won't be able to eat.
"Miguel and I can only afford one contract package, so everything is usually placed here." Dina said. She and Miguel are a relatively inspiring couple.
After becoming mercenaries, the two of them worked hard to make money together. First, they bought a King Feather Horse to travel for Dina to make it easier to collect rewards and then buy a contract package to reduce the burden of luggage.
Even though Dina preferred the Silver Wolf, when choosing a magic pet, Dina still chose the Feathered Horse King.
The reason is not only that King Feather is more suitable for transportation, but also because it is cheaper.
The cost for a mercenary to apply for a magic pet certificate varies according to the type of magic pet. Low-level monsters like King Feather, which are docile and have no attack power, only need to spend a very cheap price to obtain a magic pet certificate.
But if it is replaced by other low-level monsters with attack power, the fee will be based on the strength of the attack power. The more powerful the magic pet, the more expensive the certificate will be.
Like White's rainbow-feathered crane, the price of the magic pet certificate is cheaper than that of the Feathered Horse, but it has no use other than being beautiful.
Although silver wolves are very familiar low-level monsters, their attack power is also one of the best among low-level monsters, and the price of obtaining a magic pet certificate is very expensive.
"Actually, the contract package between Boss and Sister Hailin also contains these things, but they don't know how to cook themselves, so they basically never use them." Dina whispered to Lu Xi.
In addition to Miguel and Cagli, the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group has its own contract package, but Miguel shares one with Dina, and Cagli is simply too lazy to spend money to buy it, and the leather armor on his body is already damaged. Didn't you change it?
If you have your own contract package, you will basically bring these commonly used life tools, just in case.
Among them, it goes without saying that Dina can cook, so can Miguel, White can do a little bit, mainly to coax girls into learning how to cook, and there is Cagli who looks very rough and uncouth.
Lu Xi learned from Dina that Kagli was the one with the best cooking skills in the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group.
Seeing that these people were already busy cooking, Lu Xi couldn't sit still. It wasn't that she didn't like the feeling of opening her mouth with food, but the food she had promised Xiao Yuan before was not finished.
Now that he has time and opportunity, Lu Xi wants to complete what he promised Xiao Yuan and cannot break his promise.
When leaving Kuwa Village, Lu Xi took new bowls and chopsticks from the carpenter, but did not take cooking tools because there were none in the village. Metal pots like those taken out by the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group were very scarce for civilians. , also very expensive things, it is impossible to have excess inventory, and Lu Xi cannot take other people's pots off the stove and take them away.
So what Lu Xi wanted to do at this moment was to borrow a set of kitchen utensils from the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group. According to Dina, Clyde and Hailin both had a set of kitchen utensils available.
Lu Xi looked around a few times. Ms. Hailin didn't know how to cook, but she also didn't know how to eat for free. She was hunting monsters around. Lu Xi couldn't see her figure, and could only see Clyde guarding the rest camp.
"Captain Clyde." Lu Xi said hello. She made a lot of noise when she came over. Clyde had already turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak.
Xiao Yuan and Xiao Long followed Lu Xi on the left and right, like two guardians.
Xiao Yuan walked as lightly as a cat, and the addition of the wind element made his footsteps fall almost silently on the ground.
It's a pity that the young dragon is not like this. It should be a creature accustomed to flying. After seeing Lu Xi walking on two feet, for some reason, he started walking too and no longer relied on his wings to fly.
But the young dragon is huge and heavy, and is not good at walking. The ground trembles when it steps on its two short, fat legs. It was difficult not to notice the movement, even if you were deaf, you could still feel the tremors on the ground.
"Dina told me that you have an extra pot here. Can you lend it to me?" Lu Xi directly explained the purpose of his visit without hesitation.
"You want to cook?" Clyde looked at Lu Xi in surprise. A noble lady was actually preparing to cook by herself... Well, she seemed to have been living in the forest by herself for more than a month, so it didn't seem too strange.
"Yeah." Lu Xi nodded, looking at Clyde's eyes that were still full of incomprehension, and then explained, "Xiao Yuan prefers to eat the food I cook."
Clyde was even more confused as to why a noble lady had to do chores, but he didn't say anything. Anyway, whatever Lu Xi wanted to do, as long as it didn't affect them, Lu Xi could do it.
"Okay, but the pot I bought here a few years ago may be a little worn out." Clyde nodded, agreed, and patched it to prepare Lu Xi mentally.
Clyde took out his contract package, which was obviously different from the one in Dina's hand. The quality looked much better, but it was still not as good as the contract package that Xiulan took out.
After a while, a brand new set of unused kitchen utensils appeared in Clyde's hand.
Lu Xi and Clyde were stunned at the same time.
Bought it a few years ago? old? Lu Xi looked strange.
Clyde frowned slightly and tried to remember, but he hadn't used it even once?
However, no one pointed this out. Lu Xi coughed dryly, took the kitchen utensils from Clyde, thanked her, and returned to Dina with Xiao Yuan and the young dragon.
"Miss Lucy, can you also cook?" Dina asked curiously.
Although Hai Lin was still out hunting monsters and had not returned, they were not short of food. Everyone's contract package contained some ingredients.
Moreover, the contract package has the same effect as a refrigerator. It will not deteriorate due to the passage of time. Whenever it is put in, it will always look fresh when it is taken out.
The disadvantage is that contract packages cannot contain living creatures and elemental magic weapons. Even those small contract packages that are not of good quality cannot even contain the flesh and blood materials of low-level monsters.
If we delve deeper into its principles, we can only say that the world is made up of elements, and the power of the elements will affect the unstable element contract - the contract package is a deformed element contract.
"She should be able to do it." Lu Xi thought for a while, but didn't say it too accurately. After arriving in the other world, she only did things with little skill.
Even when she was on Earth, she didn't actually cook much. She only made takeout meals, and her cooking skills were only average. She was embarrassed to say that she knew how to cook.
"Oh, Miss Lucy, do you want to use these?" Dina didn't ask further, but instead took a bunch of things on hand.
Most of this place was contributed by Xiulan. Although he looks like a young master and doesn't know how to do any chores, one advantage he has is that he is rich.
So he has the most complete set of tools here, along with all kinds of seasonings. Anyway, his contract package is large enough to fit everything.
Lu Xi looked at it and did not refuse Dina's kindness. There was a very complete spice box with more than a dozen kinds of spices in it.
Dina and Cagli only used a few of them, and many of the ingredients were placed there, almost untouched. White used more types, but only used a few.
Facing Lu Xi's gaze, Dina explained with a smile, "None of us know these seasonings. I have tried them a few times before, but they all tasted weird. After that, I didn't use them anymore."
"Xiu Lan doesn't even know what it's used for. White knows a little more, but he only knows a few dishes and doesn't know anything else."
After listening to Dina's explanation, Lu Xi was not surprised at all. Xiulan should have come from a noble family. When buying things, he would only choose the most expensive and complete ones. As for the uses, he didn't need to know at all.
The purpose of White learning to cook was to chat with girls, so he did not study hard on cooking. He just learned a few dishes and could use them at critical moments.
Lu Xi opened the seasoning box and looked at it with interest. Many of the items were very similar to the seasonings on Earth. Some were similar in appearance, and some were similar in taste, such as star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and Sichuan peppercorns. used.
Commonly used ones are sugar, vinegar, monosodium glutamate, salt, chili powder, etc. You can taste the taste change almost immediately after putting it down. No skills are required, so it is the easiest to use.
In addition, there are ingredients such as ginger and garlic, which White occasionally uses, but neither Dina nor Cagli uses frequently.
Lu Xi also noticed that there was a can of pure white meat oil next to it, but most of it was used.
"Miss Lucy, do you want to use oil milk?" Dina noticed Lu Xi's gaze and handed over a can of meat oil. "Although the oil milk is very fragrant, it is too greasy. If you eat too much, you will easily get upset. ."
Lu Xi was stunned when he heard this, "Ah? How do you eat it?"
"That's how you eat it." Dina dug out a small piece and put it directly into her mouth.
Lu Xi fell silent.
Seeing Lu Xi's reaction, White and Cagli both turned their heads. Cagli looked at Lu Xi with a frown, while White thought of the fragrant mushroom soup last night. This Miss Lucy might really have something. What extraordinary knowledge and skills.
Dina asked cautiously, "Isn't this how you eat it?"
Xiulan also looked over and frowned, "I eat like this at home."
Translation: This is how nobles eat too.
"Well..." Lu Xi decided to give these people from another world a little shock.
The pot borrowed from Clyde is shaped like a water ladle, with a cylindrical shape that goes straight up and down. It is not as easy to cook as a wok, but the diameter of the bottom of the pot is quite large, so it can be used barely.
After cleaning the pot, Lu Xi put the pot on the fire. After the water dried, he dug out a large piece of meat oil and put it in. The milky white solid quickly turned into a transparent light yellow liquid under the high temperature, which was on the bottom of the pot. Sizzling sound.
Under Lu Xi's instructions, Dina, White and Cagli shredded the ginger and garlic, washed the mushrooms and cut them into shreds, and took a piece of monster meat and cut it into shreds.
Lu Xi first put down the ginger and garlic and stir-fried, and soon the aroma came out. Before adding other ingredients, several people's expressions changed instantly when they smelled the smell.
Taking out the fried ginger and garlic, Lu Xi added shredded pork and stir-fried. Within two minutes, the shredded pork had completely changed color, and then added shredded mushrooms.
After the mushrooms were fried until soft, Lu Xi began to add salt, MSG, and a small amount of soy sauce to adjust the color and seasoning. At this time, a smell that no one in the Dragon Hunting Mercenary Group had ever been exposed to slowly came out.
"Gulu." Someone swallowed, and everyone's eyes fell on the plate of fried pork with mushrooms that Lu Xi had just served.
