Eye of Darkness

After taking back the Pokémon and the Candlelight Spirit into the Poké Ball, Zoroa transformed into Pikachu and the Wind Speed ​​Dog Charmander to accompany Yan Ming.

Yan Ming prepared the washed and cut beef into small strips, took off a pair of fingerless gloves on his hands, put on plastic gloves, took the crushed white pepper, light soy sauce, and oil from Charmander and mixed them into the beef. .

After waiting for a while, Yan Ming added salt, sugar, and cooking wine and stirred evenly with his hands. As Yan Ming moved, the original color of the beef began to gradually deepen.

Soraya's transformed Pikachu helped Yan Ming prepare some condiments, add a spoonful of starch and mix well. Yan Ming finished the things and set them aside to marinate for 10 minutes.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Yan Ming, Soraya and Charmander were processing other ingredients together. Wind Speed ​​Dog wanted to help but was unable to do so because of its size. Yan Ming had no choice but to drive him out of the kitchen, leaving him pitifully at the door. Yanbu lowered his head and looked at the backs of Yan Ming and the two elves working.

After putting some cooking oil to moisten the pot noodles, Yan Ming fried some vegetarian vegetables first. After thinking for a while, Yan Ming thought of a dish he had been craving for for a long time, which he had seen on the cookbook, potato and bacon barbecue.

He also prepared some bacon, onions, potatoes, black pepper, salt, oil and other ingredients. He first boiled a pot of water, cut the potatoes into cubes and steamed them in the steamer. During this period, Zoroa cut the onions and mushrooms into small dices. As Ming moved his knife, the onions and mushrooms were almost evenly chopped into pieces of almost the same size.

Take another two pieces of bacon, cut it into small dices, stir-fry slowly over medium-low heat, let the oil flow out, sizzle, the oil and water splash, there is a swishing sound, the sound of breaking through the air, the oil stains are removed by Yan Ming with a knife, and directly use the knife Blocking, taking advantage of the moment of blocking, Yan Ming's hands suddenly increased in speed, and he cut the diced onions and mushrooms in a crosswise manner, then steadily knocked them away from the cutting board and dropped them into the pot.

Sprinkle some black pepper and salt and stir-fry until the onions and mushrooms become soft and fragrant.

At this time, Soraya had already pressed the peeled potatoes into small pieces with a tool. Yan Ming mixed the potatoes with the fried onions, mushrooms and bacon dices, and kneaded them into an approximately oval shape.

Arrange the bacon strips in the baking pan, put the potatoes in, wrap the bacon over the potatoes, and tie them with edible string to fix the shape and prevent the bacon from sliding off the potatoes during baking.

After processing, put it into the oven and bake it at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes.

During the roasting process, use oyster sauce, soy sauce, mirin, water, coarse black pepper, and thicken with water starch to make a sauce.

After processing, Yan Ming began to fry the shredded beef. After making sure that the color of the beef shredded became darker, he added onions and ginger and took it out of the pot.

At this time, the potato and bacon barbecue that had just been cooked was also finished, topped with sauce and garnished with a little coriander. Suddenly, a strange and alluring aroma slowly wafted out from it. The crispy texture was visible to the naked eye, which made Yan Ming even more excited. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

But what worries him more is that his learning ability seems to be a bit strong. In the process of chopping vegetables just now, Yan Ming couldn't help but use some of the skills he learned from Li Jia in the morning.

And through the experiment just now, Yan Ming can find that his grasp of the timing of the knife has been strengthened to a certain extent. The sudden splash of oil stains can be instantly sensed by him and he can react to resist it. At that time, he was still there Cutting vegetables.

Maybe he can find some techniques that will benefit him from Li Jia's fast and accurate swordsmanship.

At this time, Jun Yan, who had changed his clothes and had taken care of things, walked downstairs. When he saw Pikachu, Wind Speed ​​Dog, and Charmander in the kitchen, he was a little surprised. He didn't react to Yan Ming's move to release the elves. He didn't think there was anything bad about it, but he admired this scene very much, but after noticing the Pikachu, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Before he could think about it, his nostrils smelled a strong aroma. The unique aroma of meat juice made Jun Yan's eyes fall on the two portions of potato and bacon barbecue on the table.

There was a look of surprise on his face for a moment, then he strode to Yan Ming's side and looked at Yan Ming.

That expression seems to say, can I eat it?

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, but he still nodded with a smile.

"Brother Junyan, you can eat it, I'm ready."

With that said, Yan Ming signaled Charmander and Pikachu to walk out of the kitchen with four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian.

Looking at the brightly colored and fragrant dishes on the table, Jun Yan took the rice handed over by Yan Ming without hesitation and started eating.

Gu Jiao</span>The meat is overflowing with juiciness, and the crispy and fragrant potato bacon barbecue explodes in the mouth. The tender meat is matched with the crispiness of the roasted potatoes, and there is a sweetness in the spicy and spicy. It is a full mouthful. , its flavor is endless.

"good to eat!"

Jun Yan said, taking another mouthful.

Yan Ming smiled helplessly as he watched Jun Yan lose his majesty in excitement while eating.

For my first attempt to be recognized, my heart felt warm for a while.

Thinking about it, Yan Ming handed some portions of his portion of potato and bacon barbecue to Soraya. After Charmander and Wind Speed ​​Dog, he also took a spoonful and put it into his mouth.

Feeling the wonderful taste, Yan Ming smiled with satisfaction.

This is the first time I have eaten such delicious food....

But when he thought that he had done this, Yan Ming couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

"Yan Ming, I didn't expect your cooking to be so delicious."

After eating, Jun Yan looked at Yan Ming and said with a smile.

"No more."

"Why not? I think if you open a restaurant Yan Ming, the business must be good."

Jun Yan is not stingy with his praise and recognition.

"But compared to this, Yan Ming, your learning ability is really abnormal. Your knife skills for handling ingredients should have been improved, and this style has some of Miss Lijia's style."

After hearing Jun Yan's words, Yan Ming had no other expression on his face and just nodded.

"Of course, Master Lijia's swordsmanship is really extraordinary. I experienced it up close this morning and discovered a lot of my shortcomings."

As he said this, Yan Ming actually felt shuddered at Jun Yan's observation. The other party had not carefully observed it, and he did not look at it while eating, but even so, the other party was aware of his small details.

This made Yan Ming, who had originally relaxed his vigilance towards Jun Yan, immediately become more alert.

There was nothing he could do, Yan Ming didn't expect that the other party would have such terrifying powers of observation despite his big-hearted appearance.

However, Yan Ming was only surprised for a while and then relieved. After all, when they first met, the other party's abilities had already been demonstrated.

And judging from Yan Ming's observation of Jun Yan, although Jun Yan is very observant and powerful, it seems that once the other person is sure of something, it is difficult to change his mind. He has his own set of rules of conduct, even if the other person knows There's some truth to that, but he still seems to handle problems the way he behaves.

This kind of personality is ugly and a bit stubborn, but it is precisely the other party's attitude towards things that saved Yan Ming a lot of trouble in this incident.

But Yan Ming did not relax his vigilance because of this.
