"What a strange person!"
Nono, who was cutting vegetables on the side, looked at the busy Zheng Yuan from the corner of his eye.
"Obviously I only have one hand, and the chopping movements are very slow and there are a lot of redundant movements, but why? This fragrance!"
The aroma in the kitchen is filling and exciting. The mutton soup simmering in the pot is boiling. The wolfberry, angelica and other seasonings are perfectly integrated into the aroma. At the same time, Zheng Yuan is cutting the mutton that has been cooked for two hours with star anise and other seasonings.
"The plain mutton is ready... put it in the refrigerator for a while, it will taste better!"
Zheng Yuan muttered to himself, then turned around and saw the perfectly packed sheep internal organs. The cooked sheep tripe and intestines were neatly cut and stacked on the plate. The sheep lungs were washed white, and the sheep spleens were washed. Also handled very cleanly.
"Thank you. Please take care of the king celery, mellow onions and explosive coriander."
Zheng Yuan looked at the little girl in front of him with some surprise, who was probably only six years old and only as tall as his shoulders. He admired her for being able to handle the strange smelly goat internal organs that were difficult to handle and emitted so perfectly at this age, but this It does not prevent Zheng Yuan from using her.
“It feels so good to have someone helping me!”
He washed the gluten in the basin happily. After a while, the water in the basin became as white as snow. He handed the gluten to Nono, who had already taken care of the side dishes. After asking her to deal with it, Zheng Yuan took out the funnel and poured it into the basin. Gluten water is poured into the lungs of sheep.
The already huge sheep lungs became even more enlarged after being filled with a large amount of water, giving them a shaky transparency.
Fill the sheep intestines with pepper, refined salt, rice, sheep liver, a little mutton and mutton fat, stir evenly, add the steamed gluten into the sheep soup and cook, then add the onions that Nono has processed before, etc. The scent is even more attractive!
"Gulu!"
The blushing Nuonuo swallowed quietly after smelling the fragrance. This calm-looking little girl still couldn't resist the temptation of food.
"Noodles, lungs and sheep intestines, white-cut mutton, etc., and we will have braised lamb chops. Although the strange-smelling mine goat will taste smelly and fishy if you don't handle it well, but add the right proportions of onions, celery, coriander and ginger and green onions, the taste will be better." I was excited, and the aroma of mutton without any mutton smell was really good!"
Zheng Yuan looked at Nono with a smile and handed her a small plate of plain mutton.
"Try it, it's been a long time, and you should be hungry too. I've prepared a soy sauce dish over there. It tastes better when you dip it in it!"
"Thanks!"
Nuonuo said softly, and quickly took the plate from Zheng Yuan.
"Delicious!"
When the skin-on mutton dipped in a little soy sauce entered his mouth, Nono was stunned, and the violent meat aroma ravaged the entire mouth.
"It should be okay! At least 76% completion rate."
Looking at Nono who was silent, Zheng Yuan scratched his head and looked at the system evaluation.
Test: White-cut, strange-flavored mineral goat meat, a fragrant dish with a variety of seasonings.
Effect: Nourishes yin and nourishes yang, suitable for consumption in both winter and summer.
Completeness: 76%
Correction method:
Add 3 grams more mineral green onions and 8 grams more fiery ginger.
When cooking, the taste should be kept balanced, and the upper and lower temperatures should not exceed 3 degrees.
The cut meat slices should be 1 mm thick and should be kept evenly thick.
...
Evaluation: A dish that is said to have been made in the past is because the cook's skills were poor, and even if the answers and steps were given, he did not copy them well.
"Emm, I tried my best, but I can't hold the vegetables with one hand and cut with a knife in the other!"
Seeing the comments, Zheng Yuan looked for excuses with some shame, and at the same time threw a piece of meat into his mouth, feeling the overbearing taste, and narrowed his eyes happily.
...
"It's really delicious. Although some parts are not handled well, it also brings out the flavor of the ingredients perfectly. Melk is right, you are a genius!"
Granny Setsuno moved her mouth with a smile, looked at Zheng Yuan and praised with some surprise.
"Thank you, I just... follow... my feeling!"
Zheng Yuan rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. He wanted to be humble but couldn't find the right words.
"Oh hey hey, do you feel it? He is really talented!"
Setsuno took a piece of noodles into his mouth and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"This should be a unique dish from New Oriental! It's rare."
The soft noodles carry the rich flavor of mutton soup. They are obviously very soft, but very chewy. When you chew, the soft noodles entwine with your tongue, and the aftertaste of chili oil also comes up, which is amazingly fragrant.
"Delicious!"
Nono narrowed his eyes and praised.
"That's right! My brother is awesome."
Xiaomei devoured the plain mutton with a smile on her face that was rounder than before. She was even happier when Zheng Yuan was praised than she was when she was praised.
"Ha ha!"
Melk scratched his head and giggled, looking very happy.
...
"Okay, since it's a transitional knife, I didn't make it very sturdy...it should only last about ten years!"
The black blade glowed under the whetstone, and for a moment under the moonlight, Zheng Yuan seemed to see a gem.
"It's so beautiful! Thank you Lord Melk."
Taking the blade politely, Nono bowed to Melk.
"It's getting dark, do you want me to see you off?"
Zheng Yuan glanced at the crescent moon rising into the sky and gave the order to expel the guests.
"Then let's take a walk!"
The words Jie Nao spat out caught Zheng Yuan off guard.
"...There is a three-star hotel at the bottom of the mountain, and there is no place to stay here."
Although it was strange, Zheng Yuan still walked out of the room bravely.
"It's embarrassing!"
A bunch of black hair turned white, the ice spread and enveloped Zheng Yuan and the others. Slowly, an ice ball with six protruding sticks supported Zheng Yuan and the others.
The length of the six sticks is equal to the height of the step. There is a layer of smaller balls in the shell of the sticks, and there is seemingly soft buffering ice powder in the middle. When it rolls down the mountain, the sticks press against the ground, and then continue to roll under the action of inertia. Moving forward, there will be no tremor at all because of the cushioning of the ice ball. This is the current optimal solution that Zheng Yuan's poor brain can think of.
"Is it ice? It has an ability similar to that of Nono!"
Setsuno looked around curiously.
"They are similar? Is sister Nuonuo also an ice type? What a coincidence!"
Controlling the ice ball to start rolling, Zheng Yuan rubbed his head and laughed. Although not controlling the hardness consumes a small amount of money in his brain, controlling the ice ball to be stable and not vibrate is also a test for Zheng Yuan. At least Zheng Yuan could not do it before the cells evolved.
"Yes, but I can't control the shape of ice like you. I can only freeze objects. It's not so much ice as it is lowering the temperature."
Nuonuo looked at the ice wall curiously, and at the same time, a white air-conditioning appeared on his hand for Zheng Yuan to see.
"...My ability consumes a lot of mental energy and will give me a headache if I use it for a long time!"
After being dazed for a while, Zheng Yuan rubbed his head and smiled apologetically.
"It's already great. It's not like I can only control the temperature!"
Perhaps because of their similar abilities, Nono looked at Zheng Yuan much more relaxed and her tone became much more cordial.
Just like this, you ask me questions. Within ten minutes, Zheng Yuan's ice ball became faster and faster, and then caused a violent vibration at the bottom of the mountain.
"There are some bumps and I still can't control them perfectly!"
Zheng Yuan said a little apologetically.
"It doesn't matter!"
Setsuno shook his head and said, "Xiaomu, can I call you Xiaomu?"
"Of course, mother-in-law."
Seeing the festival, Zheng Yuan became more serious, and said quickly,
"Xiaomu, do you still remember the examination I gave you before?"
Setsuno said seriously.
"What's wrong? Isn't it okay?"
Zheng Yuan was confused.
"Actually, there is one thing I haven't told Melk yet!"
Setsuno said hesitantly, "But I can't lie to you. In fact, there is something wrong with your cells!"
"Any more questions? I feel fine!"
"Actually, the problem isn't big. It's that your cells need a certain amount of pressure every period of time, otherwise they will go berserk. That means you need an even battle every once in a while to keep the cells satisfied!" Setsuno explained. .
"Fight? Then why don't you tell Uncle Melk?"
Zheng Yuan asked with some confusion.
"I'm doing it for your own good. Little Erke is a very adventurous person. All the scars on his body were made by his own knife. I think he will take you to dangerous places every day after knowing this problem. .....It’s not because I’m afraid you’re in danger, it’s because you said you wanted to become a food hunter!”
The last few bytes were drawn out and lowered in the throat.
"Is such that!"
Recalling what he said during the initial chat, Zheng Yuan was still a little confused.
"Xiaomu, you have to know that a real food hunter needs to go to various places in the world to search for unknowns. But if Xiaoerke takes you, it will be safe, but you will also lose the possibility of the unknown! You can do that too. You will become stronger, but you will never become a true food hunter!"
Seeing extremely serious, Setsuno's eyes narrowed.
"Of course, I'm just giving you a choice. You are very mature Xiaomu, you have an adult's mind, and you really love the profession of food hunter. This is what I observed about you before, so I can't make a decision for you. You have to make your own choice!"
Setsuno said sonorously and forcefully, not at all like an old man.
"Of course you can go back and tell Xiao Erke, but you have to know that Xiaomu, a canary in a cage, will not grow into an eagle soaring in the sky!"
"But don't get carried away. Life is more important than dreams. Go back and think more!"
Setuno stood up straight and reached out to touch Zheng Yuan's head, and said softly.
"You are very much like me, Xiaomu. I once thought about becoming a food hunter, but because of love, I chose to become a chef. Under the protection of my lover, I looked at the world. Although I don't regret my simple choice, I still regret it. Yes, kid, choose the one you won’t regret!”
After saying that, Setsuna turned and left on crutches.
"Brother, your talent as a chef is much better than mine. If you can't be a food hunter, then become a chef!"
Nuonuo stood in front of Zheng Yuan, raised her head, and said seriously.
"Let me think about it, thank you sister Nono."
Zheng Yuan frowned in embarrassment and looked at Nono who turned to catch up with Setsuno.
"Come and play when you get the chance! I don't know what I should do in the future, but the road is at my feet, and I won't regret every step I take! Because regrets are useless!"
Zheng Yuan shouted, his heart suddenly became firm. This was the first important choice in his life before him. The suddenness caught Zheng Yuan off guard.
