Chapter 136 Cooking (Transition)
Chapter 136 Cooking (Transition)

The strong smell of fish soup filled the air. Ai Lumao opened the lid of the pot from time to time and threw some things that Lei Ming didn’t know at all into it. Every time the lid was opened, the steaming heat hit Lei Ming’s nose like a broken demon. heart.

Thankfully, he wasn't the only one, all elves were like this.

The surrounding grass was swaying quietly, and the Thunder Beast snorted to indicate that Lei Ming should not be concerned. Under its detection, the surrounding creatures were invisible, and there seemed to be no creatures worth fighting.

Singing Sparrow is still observing the surroundings from a high branch. Despite its usual unreliable appearance, in fact, it is very reliable when it comes to its companions.

The huge body of the skeletal spider blocks behind Lei Ming, like a wall, any maliciousness from behind needs to pass through it.

As for the three little ones, they are happily adding firewood, and Ai Lumao has already taken the rabbit to clean.

"Meow, master, pay attention too!"

The floating Ai Lu cat came back, and two skinny little rabbits dangled above its head.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Lei Ming, who was immersed in the fragrance, looked dazed.

"Meow, add more firewood so much that the fire will almost fail."

Ai Lumao pointed to the earthen stove, and it was true that the way it was smoking was not quite right.

Fingering along it, San Xiao backed away, and the excess firewood in the earthen stove flew out, and set it up beside it.

"The two rabbits are so skinny, they are so skinny while eating grass all around, it's too lazy to be pitiful!"

"After all, I can't run if I'm full!" Lei Ming said with a smile.

"Meow, can they outrun other elves without eating enough!" Elumao retorted with blinking eyes.

Lei Ming: "..."

It seems that I really can't escape!

"Meow, since you can't escape, why don't you let yourself eat more!"

Ai Lumao oiled the rabbit with mind control, and then rolled over the flames.

The tumbling rabbit sprinkled a string of oil spray, and the flames of the fire burst into flames.

"Maybe it's because I don't want my opponent to be full!" Lei Ming whispered after a long time.

The stronger the aroma, everyone's stomach growled. Lei Ming took out the fish sticks and shared them with the elves, but he felt even hungrier after eating that amount.

The surrounding grass trembled more urgently, and a Korakola stood out holding a bone stick.

"Is it the strongest elf in this area?"

"Meow, your courage is commendable!"

Thunder Beast, Skeletal Spider, and Song Sparrow all stared at it with wide eyes, and they could obviously feel this guy shrinking back.

"Quack quack quack!" (A coward dares to grab something!) Singing sparrow taunted.

Korakola's nose under the bone helmet visibly twitched, he took out his big bone stick to gesture, then turned and ran.

Everyone was stunned for a moment and then laughed collectively. After the laugh, the Thunder Beast raised its head to the sky and roared angrily, intimidating all directions, and the grass became quiet.

"Okay, okay, just drive away, there's no need to do this." Lei Ming stopped everyone with a push of his hand.

"Meow, the soup needs to be stewed for a while."

"It's already very fragrant!"

Suddenly the Thunder Beast turned its head in one direction, and its throat became low. Lei Ming knew that this was when it was in doubt.

The songbird flew up to the branch and looked in that direction. After a while, it also called out "quack", the voice was full of reminders but did not mean to expel it.

"Is there anyone here?"

At this moment, Ai Lumao felt something, and closed his eyes slightly, "Meow, not only is there someone, but he also looks not weak. He is guarded by a not weak super-power and water-type elf."

The grass parted, and a big blue duck came out, and it was the Gotha Duck.

A sneaky elf with a pure water type but a super power type playing behind the scenes, no wonder Ai Lumao made a wrong judgment.

Now, beside the Gotha duck standing in front of Lei Ming, there is a small folding stool, a portable oven, a small pot and a black cloth bag.

Then followed a thin old man carrying a fishing rod bag and a small bucket in his hand. The old man was very thin but energetic, with a rosy face and thick gray hair.

He took a first look at the bubbling pot and Elle cat floating in the air, and then saw thunder.

I have confirmed the eyes, they are all people who love to eat.

It just popped up suddenly, and the two sides didn't know what to say for a while.

But seeing the old man take a deep breath, "The cooking is very good, and the soup is even added with grove fruit leaves for seasoning. This alone shows that the effort is very good, but the fly in the ointment is that it uses farmed puffer fish. Not worthy of the craft."

Lei Ming and Ai Lumao looked at each other, and Lei Ming said, "No way, wild ones are not something ordinary people can buy."

Wild puffer fish have evolved a special toxin called mixed poison, which accumulates toxins in the poison sac by eating poisonous food, just like raising Gu, the toxin of each wild puffer fish is different.

Once its poison sac can't hold the toxin, it will burst and kill the pufferfish itself.

Wild puffer fish is also the first creature discovered by humans that will poison itself to death.

"That's a pity, it's a pity to lose such a good cooking skill, it's a pity to lose such a rare elf!" The old man felt a little pity.

"Why can't I do it?" Lei Ming asked jokingly.

"Chefs like us can't smell the smell of anyone. When you smell it, you know that you don't have the freshness of the ingredients. You are a foodie. Among you, this cat-like elf has the freshness of the ingredients. .”

"Tsk tsk, I've always heard that some elves can cook, but this is the first time I've seen them, and their cooking skills are still so good."

Chef!
"Grandpa, meeting is fate, why don't we have a light meal together!"

"Okay, it's disrespectful, I've always wanted to try the craft of the elves." The grandfather sat down unceremoniously, and the Gotha Duck looked helpless, but he opened the folding stool with his thoughts and put it over.

"Old man, I don't want to eat you for nothing, let you have a taste of my craft!"

As he spoke, the portable oven was put away automatically, "Borrow me a fire."

Ai Lumao pointed at the fire, and a pile of lit matches automatically jumped up and rushed to the bottom of the pot.

There was such a momentary trance in Lei Ming's eyes, no matter how you look at this scene, it looks like a fairy tale!
The old man put down the small bucket and skillfully fished out a fish with silver scales, but the size of a palm, and the scales were as fine as sesame seeds. He opened the cloth bag and took out a kitchen knife to start processing. Under the bright knife light was tender white fish, "Silver scale fish , the small fish that is most suitable for frying and grilling, served with sauce and green vegetables, the taste is ever-changing, and you will never get tired of eating it.”

"Meow, can I add fruit?" Ai Lumao couldn't help but said.

The next second, Ai Lumao covered her mouth.Lei Ming shook his head to signal it, no need to cover his mouth.

"Yes!" The old man looked up at Ai Lumao, without any surprise in his eyes.

The old man handled it very quickly. The silver scale fish was simply fried with salt and oil, but when paired with the gurgling and fragrant fish soup, it was enough to make people swallow their tongues.

The craftsmanship is excellent, and Ai Lumao expressed his admiration.

A few elves didn't fall behind either, and each divided a portion. They first stuffed the energy cubes to fill their stomachs, and then began to taste the delicious food carefully.

Delicious food draws in the relationship between people. After the meal, the Gotha Duck and the other elves got together and toasted the Thunder Beast with a soup bowl.

The old man took a sip of the fish soup and let out a satisfied sigh, "Beautiful!"

"Unexpected beauty, unimaginable culinary skills."

“A perfect meal.”

"Meow, is the gap between wild puffer fish?" Ai Lumao asked.

"No, it stands to reason that everything else is game, but the cultured puffer fish lacks a little bit of wildness, which should be a flaw..." The old man looked at Ai Lumao with burning eyes.

"Meow, it's a pity." Ai Lumao was a little disappointed.

"No, I'm talking about the original."

The old man looked a little frustrated, "Your cooking skills and material selection make up for this. For me, it is the silver scale fish that is holding me back. It is really not enough for such a delicious soup to be served with dishes like side dishes!"

"Little cat, are you interested in visiting my kitchen?"

"Meow, the kitchen?"

"Yes, many masters have come to my kitchen, but I have never seen such a good elf. I am the best at cooking fish in my life. It is the best to have a cat-shaped elf who can only talk to taste my craft. of."

Ai Lumao's eyes drifted to Lei Ming.

Lei Ming looked at the longing in Ai Lumao's eyes, and smiled slightly, "How disrespectful!"

"Okay, do you have time tomorrow?"

"Anytime!"

"Okay, No. 48 Qingwan Road is my home, and I will be waiting for you at any time tomorrow morning. Let's go, duckling, and go back to prepare materials."

The old man didn't drag his feet and left with his things in his hands. The Gotha Duck gulped down the soup helplessly, bowed to everyone, and ran away with his things in his mind.

Their figures disappeared into the distance.

Ai Lumao suddenly said: "Meow, I was excited just now..."

"It's okay, let's say it openly in the future, we already have the confidence, and I am the messenger of the beast among those masters!"

Lei Ming smiled lightly, and it didn't matter if he pulled the tiger's skin and fooled around a bit.

"Meow!"

"By the way, the old man just said what his name is!"

"Meow, no!"

Lei Ming: "..."

Ai Lumao: "..."

"Meow, then, shall we still go?"

"Go, of course, it's rare to meet such a chef, so of course I can't let it go!" Lei Ming patted Ai Lumao's head lightly and said.

"Meow, the old man's cooking skills are very high, I look forward to it." (Xing Xingyan)
"Yes!"

Lei Ming unconsciously licked his teeth, recalling the taste of the silver scale fish just now, it was extremely delicious, it was indeed unforgettable.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Lei Ming and Ai Lumao, carrying two bags of fruit and several boxes of health care products, stood in front of No. 48 Qingwan Road and fell into deep thought.

"Ai Lumao, we shouldn't be going the wrong way!" Lei Ming looked at the door plate and said with a painful face.

"Meow, obviously, we didn't go wrong."

Ai Lumao's answer ruthlessly shattered Lei Ming's fantasy.

The building in front of me is a water building, and it is an antique wooden building. The wooden building has a unique shape and the wood used should be very expensive, otherwise, I can smell the fragrance of wood even if I stand there.

However, there is a wooden plaque hanging on it-Secret Fish Fragrance Private Kitchen.

As we all know, private kitchens represent expensive and reservations. Of course, those restaurants with the name of private kitchens are not counted. The real private kitchens have master chefs in charge and signature dishes that can be called killer tricks.

I didn't expect that the place where the old man invited them turned out to be a private restaurant, but considering the old man's cooking skills, it is understandable.

However, the line of small characters under the plaque is a bit wrong.

The words that are three sizes smaller than the above line are: Branch of Chiyu Gymnasium - Specially designated venue.

This……

Have you finally come across a gym that is as idle as Hualan Gym?

Too bad it's not a water show!

Lei Ming sighed.

The online evaluation of Chiyu Gymnasium is mediocre, only saying that its Hu Xingguan’s main showman is constantly operating, but many people are tight-lipped about how showy it is.

Out of the idea of ​​long-sightedness, Lei Ming included this in the scope of his challenge, which is normal, after all, the owner of the gym has a lot of tricks in his gym, the evaluation of the Chiyu gym and those built in the haunted house Compared with the ghost gymnasium and the fighting gymnasium built in the pile array, it is still good.

On the steps at the door, the two welcoming ladies stood quietly, maintaining decent smiles, but their heads were full of question marks.

What the hell is this guy doing here?

Visit relatives and friends?
But no notice has been received!
Come to challenge the Gym?

No one from the gymnasium brought it, and what's the point of carrying a bunch of gifts?
After hesitating for a while, Lei Ming still walked forward with the gift.

"Hi sir, do you have an appointment?" The two welcoming ladies bowed and saluted.

"No, it's not." Lei Ming felt slightly embarrassed, "I was invited here."

"Then who invited you?"

"It's an old man with a Gotha duck."

Lei Ming felt that the faces of the two welcoming ladies in front of him changed, and their smiles were a little stiff.

Finally, the person on the left said, "Please wait a moment, I'll check."

With that said, she turned and trotted into the door.

The run lasted for several 10 minutes, during which time a family of three guests came, the welcoming lady simply saluted and opened the door to let them in, but her eyes were always glued to Lei Ming's body, as if she was looking at some rare animal.

This makes it even more embarrassing.

Fortunately, there will be no guests coming.

Through the hollowed-out carvings on the wooden door, Lei Ming saw that the former welcoming lady had returned, and at the same time she was still dressed in white.

The door opened.

The old man I saw yesterday stood at the door with an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Sorry, I forgot to explain. When people came to inform me just now, I was preparing again, and they didn't dare to disturb me."

Of course, although he was apologizing, the old man said it to Ai Lumao, and it was obvious that Lei Ming was incidental.

The capitalization is embarrassing, but I still have to pick up the words, because Ai Lumao is a little overwhelmed.

"It's because we forgot to ask, we are here today for an appointment."

When it came to the agreement, the old man seemed very happy, turned around and opened the door himself, "Please come in".

The two welcoming ladies next to her seemed stunned, and they couldn't keep the smile on their faces.

"Please!"

Lei Ming followed with Ai Lumao, carrying a gift.

It was the corridor on the left that followed the old man, not the corridor on the right that the group of guests in front took.

The old man led the way, walking fast, "I forgot to introduce yesterday, my surname is Hu, you can call me Grandpa Hu. I am the chef of this private kitchen."

Is your surname Hu?
"This is my kitchen. I invite you to taste my cooking today, and I hope you can give me your advice."

The closed wooden door burst open.
