I, Yan Ye, want to marry Shichen’s daughter

"Okay, I recommend two hamburgers, one is heated normally, and the other is heated to room temperature. The rice is served cold and served with hot miso soup." A smile appeared on the clerk's face and Feng Xue ordered along with it. Nodding, in fact, after the clerk reminded him, he found that there was a small bottle of miso soup in the bento box. I have to say that this bento is also very considerate.

"Then I will trouble you." Feng Xue nodded, and the clerk skillfully opened the bento boxes, took out the urinal boxes and put them into different microwave ovens for heating. In just a few tens of seconds, the bento with different heat was renewed. Melting into one, the aroma flowing from the cracks in the bento box made Feng Xue's stomach a little rebellious.

Without hesitation, Feng Xue took out a three-hundred-yen coin and placed it on the counter. She put away the recovered change, and left the convenience store with her lunch.

Looking for a bench at random, Feng Xue began to enjoy this lonely food journey. Even if he had just eaten a banquet made of a lot of fantasy ingredients at noon, he still couldn't help showing some eager eyes at this moment.

After hard work and sweat, even the ordinary food will become delicious. This is the essence of the half-price bento, not to mention the quality of the food itself.

Opening the disposable chopsticks in her hand, Feng Xue clasped her hands together as usual: "I'm moving."

This is not just a formalized ritual, but a respect for the ingredients and the chef who prepares the food.

Although the full price of this beef burger bento is only 550 yen, the portion is surprisingly large. Two pieces of hamburger meat that is half a slap in the corner are placed in the corner, and several lightly fried potatoes are only the size of green dates. But exuding a faint fragrance, a small box of miso soup was re-boiled, slowly floating in the early spring when the winter cold had not yet faded, giving people a negligible but enough warmth to indulge in it.

In contrast, the okra, small tomatoes, and the staple rice as side dishes still exude a cold atmosphere, as if they are completely separated from the burger meat as the protagonist.

"Anyway, let's taste it first." Feng Xue stretched out his chopsticks and slightly applied force to cut the fully heated piece of hamburger. The brown gravy oozes through the chopsticks' cut opening, and the moment it comes in contact with the cold air. White smoke wafted out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) The tight and elastic mouthfeel made the teeth and tongue start a wonderful dance party.

As a very common bento dish in neon, the burger itself has the characteristics of being cold and delicious. The sauce that was originally poured on it has already penetrated completely after half a day, but after heating it again, it loses the thick and rich Taste, but it also makes the fusion of burger meat and sauce more perfect.

Pick up a ball of cold rice and put it in your mouth. The peculiar faint sweetness of the grain and the temperature below body temperature create a taste experience that is completely opposite to that of the salty hamburger. Between the cold and the hot, they work together. Tacit understanding, coupled with the cool and refreshing okra and the sweet and sour little tomatoes, ah, it is an all-round three-dimensional taste experience!

"It's the heating method recommended by the clerk, then, what about this hamburger at room temperature?" After Feng Xue finished eating the hot hamburger, she turned her attention to the piece of meat that had only been heated to room temperature by thawing temperature, and stretched out The chopsticks felt a completely different resistance from before.

"Does it look harder because it is not heated enough?" Feng Xue pressed her fingertips, and the hamburger meat (hidden the first day of the kitchen, could not hide it) cracked a hole, but this time, no meat juice penetrated , And more than that, as far as the intuitive feeling of the eyes is concerned, this is more like the last piece of meat in the banquet, but no one is embarrassed to move, and finally can only put dry ingredients.

Although the selling point was slight, it didn't prevent Feng Xue from putting it into his mouth, but at the moment after the entrance, Feng Xue understood that she was wrong.

Although color and flavor are originally integrated, there are unavoidable dark horses in the world. In terms of color and fragrance, this piece of hamburger that has not been heated enough is obviously unqualified, but at the moment of entrance, all the deficiencies are eliminated. Was overwhelmed by this wonderful taste.

After time has passed, the gravy in the hamburger meat has not been lost as it seems, but condensed inside like a soup. Insufficient heating will not make it completely melted, but it will let all The delicacy is all locked in the steak, and when you bite it down, the slightly hard shell is mixed with the soup that has just started to melt inside. It is an excellent CP combination.

"It's just..." When the rice was delivered to the entrance, Feng Xue's face showed an unfinished look. It was obvious that the taste of hamburger meat was more delicious than it was hot, but it was accompanied by this somewhat hard and cold rice. But there is always some disharmony.

Yes, it’s not harmonious. When eating hot burger meat, the taste of cold rice instead creates a wonderful cycle of cold and hot changes like cannon-style music, but in burger meat, it can only be said to be no When it's cold, this taste seems a bit redundant.

"Wait! So that's the case!" Feng Xue suddenly saw the small can of miso soup at hand, with a sudden look on her face, opened the lid, and filled with hamburger meat and cold rice in her mouth, steaming hot. After the soup was drunk, in an instant, the small environment in his mouth immediately experienced a fusion that resembled a famous explosion.

The ice-cold rice spreads under the action of the hot soup, and the gravy of the hamburger meat melts in the mouth. The miso soup, which originally seemed a little dull, shows its deliciousness under this pair of combinations, waiting for Feng Xue to come back to his senses , He swallowed all the food in the box.

"Huh...Although it is not as good as the noon banquet made entirely of fantasy ingredients, it is a free lunch that can give birth to countless novel experiences after this random combination!" Feng Xue exhaled, her face He smiled comfortably, but a box of bento was obviously not enough for his evening practice. Putting the bento boxes into the trash can on the side of the road, Feng Xue decided to take care of the ramen shop owner’s business. .

Chapter 33 The Big Day?

As the days passed, Feng Xue exercised in the morning, worked at noon, studied magic in the afternoon, and then went to the Internet cafe to practice Baiyunyan after an intense battle for lunch.

Under such a regular life, half a year passed in an instant. Now, it is August, and there are only more than three months left before Feng Xueyuan's scheduled departure time.

During this period of time, even if Feng Xue spent a huge sum of four to five thousand yen a day (in the 1980s, 40 or 50 soft sister coins a day were indeed a huge sum of money, compare it to a few hundred yen a day at the beginning). With a deposit of more than 1.2 million yuan, although the travel expenses and expenses to Egypt are not a problem, it is definitely not enough to buy arrows. Feng Xue feels that she should find the boss in advance, and then play the trick of meeting half and half. it is good

After half a year of training, both magic and internal strength have already been introduced. Coupled with a daily nutritious diet of fantasy ingredients, his body is definitely stronger than a boss without a substitute.

After getting up in the morning, Feng Xue reviewed the magic characteristics she had mastered after regular stretching exercises. Although the magic characteristics of the fourth method specialization are accumulation, it does not mean that there are no other characteristics in the magic marking. In fact, Every kind of magic has its own characteristics. Even Feng Xue, who specializes in practicing five kinds of spiritual magic, has mastered the three characteristics of [accumulation], [strengthening] and [transformation] during this time. [Accumulation] and [Strengthening] are the most proficient. The former has the most information, and the latter is the simplest. As for the remaining transformation, it can only be said to be able to use it just now.

After all, there is no information, no blood, just relying on a few magic tricks and mentioning a few words to achieve the level of proficiency, then it is too despise those magicians and sages?

However, Feng Xue is not particularly concerned about the characteristic of "transformation". After all, he has no money-making ability and can't stand the Tosaka-style prodigal. As long as he can use magic normally and write it into the magic eye, it is enough. Up.

The wisps of magic power were released, and Feng Xue's body energy gradually bottomed out. Accompanied by a soft belly call, he knew it was time to eat breakfast again.

Finding a well-known ramen restaurant that has been mixed for half a year, Feng Xue has eaten enough as always, but after he came to HOTEL GOURMET according to his habit, he found that the atmosphere today seems a bit wrong.

On weekdays, the chefs who would only fish by the side during working hours are holding kitchen knives and cutting knife meat that Feng Xue has never seen before. (The material for practicing knife skills is a bit like plasticine. Increase the temperature or add water to adjust the hardness, similar to the target of a gun), even the crescent moon, which has always appeared to be calm and calm, is a high-spirited look. It looks as if you are planning to participate in a swordsmanship duel. same.

"You have a sex change today?" Feng Xue, who has been acquainted for half a year, joked casually. He was the most absent-minded but also in the small building where he was practicing and immediately said, "After all, it's this day!"

"This day? What day?" Feng Xue raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, who knew that the words had already been spoken, and the sound of chopping knives hitting the chopping board was stopped in an instant.

Then Feng Xue realized that she seemed to be asking some stupid question, so she asked tentatively, "Well, is there anything you must know? The food celebration should be next year? Is it the birthday of the hotel owner? It shouldn’t be, that’s a no-name entrepreneur, and you can’t be offended... Is it the UN conference? Or is it the birthday of the president of igo?"

"If you don't know, why come to work at HOTEL GOURMET this year?" Xiaolou put down the knife in his hand, but Feng Xue felt that he was being lazy by taking this opportunity of popular science. It seemed that he didn't want to practice, that was his master. Forced to practice?

"I came to earn some living expenses because I ran away from home..." Feng Xue responded naturally. Xiaolou immediately lowered her head speechlessly--"You second generations, I really don't understand, but I met It’s your luck. After all, this year's puffer whale migratory day is coming soon."

"Puffer whale migrating? His—" Feng Xue immediately took a breath. He actually forgot about this day, but it's no wonder that after all, the game has been launched two and a half years later. Of course no one remembers this time. , But think about it carefully, the first puffer whale migration in the game is indeed since 1995.

but……

"What does the puffer whale migration have to do with us? Do you want to go hunting on the beach of the cave?" Feng Xue curled his lips. This submarine cave is not a simple place to go in the original work. It is even more dangerous in the game, because, you Maybe you can still meet Guyoka and Gulardo...

Well, yes, because the cave beach is indeed connected to the underwater cave, even if you don't go the wrong way, those Pokémon that are not weaker than the food beast are enough to make you understand what is called terror.

By the way, this world also has Pokemon balls, but the probability of catching is also the same. In this world, the level of Pokémon is synchronized with the level of hunting (except for mythical beasts). A 100-level green caterpillar is enough to drive a car. Looking through the entire human world, of course, in fact, wild green caterpillars cannot grow to level 100. After all, this game has no experience upgrade system. Ninety percent of Pokémon’s levels depend on race.Even if you can really train the green caterpillar, without canceling the evolution button, it will become an armored pupa at level seven at the latest-unless you can find the immutable stone.

Under this circumstance, without the strength of Kai Wushuang, the cave beach is no different from sending death.

"What do you want? Of course, a batch of puffer whales will be sent to HOTEL GOURMET! Although the standard price of a puffer whale without a poison bag is 100 million yen on the market, if the poison fails, it will become It’s worthless. And even if the chefs in the world who can handle 100% of the poison bags, even if you add those invisible masters and dark cooking circles, there will be no more than fifty people. If you want to ask them to do it, don’t Say 100 million, even if it is 1 billion and 10 billion, you don’t necessarily get it. The sale of puffer whales by HOTEL GOURMET is only a platform for diners to invite specialized chefs to cook. And puffer whales cannot be caught. They can’t be caught, but once the capture conditions are met, as many as they can be caught. In addition, as long as the puffer whales are anesthetized, it is easy to store them for several years. Therefore, many puffer whales even lie down in a food box. No one will cook for years."

"So?" Feng Xue seemed to have guessed something, but she continued to ask.

"So with the newly listed puffer whales, those expired puffer whales are useless!" Xiaolou said naturally.

"Although puffer whales can be put in a gourmet box to ensure that their quality will not decline within a few years, it will only be a few years after all. After a certain number of years, the meat quality will begin to deteriorate. Although the taste is still delicious, but for those desperately For the diners who tasted it, it’s a bit uneconomical. In addition, new puffer whales will appear when they are full, so at this time of the year, those expired puffer whales that have not been cooked will be handed over to our chefs to practice. As an ingredient that needs to be disposed of, it’s better to fail than to enter the black market. If one or two can succeed, it means that there is one more person in the world who can handle puffer whales. Even if it’s just a chance, it’s quite good. It's a gimmick, no matter whether it is for HOTEL GOURMET or for individuals, you will not lose!"

Chapter 34 Puffer Whale

Puffer whale, also called whale puffer, has gills and lungs at the same time. It is an oviparous migratory organism. It is difficult to define whether it is a mammal or a fish.

But which biologists think about these things, Feng Xue only needs to know that this thing is very delicious.

As the most easily captured foods of level 25 or above, puffer whales are famous. It can even be said that more than 80% of the food tycoons in the previous game were used in 1995. The migratory wind of the puffer whale took off.

However, the opposite of its deliciousness is the terrifying toxicity. The pufferfish poison, which is a complex toxin, is more concentrated and terrifying under the high pressure of the deep sea. Without awakening gourmet cells, there are only some that can cure all poisons. Only the talents of heaven and earth can be immune.

It’s just that the treasures of heaven and earth that can achieve this effect are mostly captured at a level of 30 or more-even those elixir and miraculous medicines of the Xian Xia family are also refined with the treasures of heaven and earth. Of course, if you eat it For the fruit of face, you can try to find if there are any gods who are willing to give you an immortal detoxification pill.

But even with such terrifying toxins, puffer whales are still sought after by countless people on the market, and even those poisoned puffer whales can still be sold on the black market for 8 million yen (80,000 soft sisters) The high price of currency) can be described as a very luxurious suicide item.

In fact, this is the root cause of the puffer whale's reputation among players. After all, those suicide players don't care about the side effects of this exquisite delicacy that they will delete their account after eating.

The number of puffer whales is not rare in itself, and its highly toxic properties rarely have natural enemies in nature. In the migration once every ten years, the number of puffer whales that flow into the world is hundreds of thousands (the original Alu said, Every year, more than 100,000 people are poisoned by the puffer whale due to improper cooking by the chef (note that it is improper cooking, not poisoned at the beginning). Even if a plate of puffer whales are divided among several people, they will die immediately. It’s the first one to use chopsticks, so the number of puffer whales that flow into the human world is definitely not less than 500,000, and there are probably more poisoned), although compared to the huge group of diners in the human world, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, but it can be cooked For its chefs, it is huge. In fact, in ten years, the number of puffer whales that have been fortunate enough to be successfully cooked may not even be 10,000.

These lucky ones will be handed over to the cook who can cook them by various means at the moments of overwhelming power or financial resources, and the rest will basically become the target of chefs practicing knives.

Although selling it to the black market is also a means of recovering sunk costs, it cannot be done for gourmet hotels under the name of igo, and in order to avoid the possibility of other puffer whales entering the black market, igo will instead spend a lot of money to buy those The puffer whales that have not been cooked, after all, for igo, instead of watching these ingredients turn into a toxic disaster, it is better to spend some money and throw it at the chefs on the bright side to practice.
