Chapter 20 Riddle of Barbecue
The Warcraft destroyed three in total, including the gray-striped magic snake and two wood-grained mantises, all of which dropped white treasure chests.
Chi Yao was a little emotional about this. It seems that only elite-level ones can drop green treasure chests at present, but the drop rate is really good! (Su Xiao's anonymous envy.JPG)
As for the treatment of the wood-grained mantis, Chi Yao did not intend to make it into food, but only cut its most valuable "double swords" and magic crystals.
After a day of tiring exploration, how to find a safe place to rest is the most important.
"Why don't we go back to the stone hall? There are only stone buildings there, and there are no trees in the forest. It is very suitable for rest." Ye Lan suggested.
"No, we have walked a long way, and it would be a waste of time to turn back now." Li Fei said.
"Li Fei is right. Moreover, the stone hall is open-air, there are no trees around, and it is in full view. It is easy for others to find us resting there." Chi Yao said.
Ye Lan asked, "What should we do?"
Chi Yao thought for a moment and continued, "The hollow under the giant tree where the gray-striped demon snake is, that should be the hole dug by the gray-striped demon snake using its earth-related ability. It is solid and stable, suitable for rest."
"Ah, are we going to rest in the snake cave?" Ye Lan listened to Chi Yao's words with some reluctance.
"Just make do with it. It's good to have a snake cave to live in. It's more dangerous to camp directly in the wild forest." Li Fei persuaded.
Ye Lan also realized the force majeure of reality and accepted it.
Everyone returned to the snake cave of the giant tree.
Li Fei took out tents, sleeping bags and other items from the empty ring and started to build them in the cave.
Chi Yao took on the task of preparing dinner. Chi Yao thought for a while, looked at Li Fei, and decided to barbecue.
Because there were no bamboo sticks, Chi Yao took out the Qingluo sword, chopped off a few branches, and cut them into sticks.
Then take out the kitchen utensils and pots (the materials prepared in the empty ring), first take out a part of the snake meat, cut it into appropriate bite sizes, wash it and put it in a bowl, then add salt and spices and rub it briefly, then put it aside to marinate.
Take out one of the snake meat and cut it into diced meat.
Chi Yao simply dug a small pit, put in wood to build a bonfire, asked Li Fei to help light a fire, heated the pot, poured in the canned oil he brought, and while the pot was hot and the oil was cold, put the diced snake meat in and stir-fry it. Chi Yao controlled the heat with the elemental affinity. After the diced snake meat was browned, add cold water to cover the diced snake meat, then add canned porridge, add salt and spices to season, and simmer it for a while, and a portion of diced snake meat porridge is ready. After
that, it is barbecue. The marinated snake meat is skewered with wooden sticks and placed on the bonfire. Using excellent perception, he can sense the changes of the snake meat under high temperature. Chi Yao can even feel the tiny salt grains melting in the snake meat, and the dripping fat bursts on the bonfire, exuding an attractive meaty aroma.
Chi Yao accurately controlled the heat, and from time to time he turned the skewers in his hand to heat them evenly and let the heat penetrate every inch of the snake meat.
When Chi Yao was fully absorbed in the barbecue, Li Fei and others had already completed the preparations, gathered together, and stared closely at the skewers flying up and down in Chi Yao's hands.
"It smells so good~" Lin Cai couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and completely threw away her prejudice against snake meat.
"Yeah, it smells good." Zi Hanyan couldn't help but get close to smell it and said.
"I didn't expect Chi Yao's cooking skills to be so good. I thought he was just talking casually." Ye Lan was a little surprised.
As the only open fire element present, Li Fei carefully watched Chi Yao's operation. As a fire element, he could clearly sense Chi Yao's control of the heat, which was a control that only a fire element-friendly mage could have.
And Chi Yao chose to choose barbecue in this situation to show off his skills, which was obviously also revealing some information to Li Fei.
"Sure enough, the anomaly in the test is not a problem with the test array," Li Fei thought, but he remained calm and said, "Chi Yao, your cooking skills are good! We are a little hungry. How is the roast? Is it ready to eat?"
Chi Yao glanced at Li Fei and found that Li Fei was staring at the campfire. He said, "It will be ready soon. Do you want it tender or burnt?"
"Well, it's hard to choose. I want it all!" Lin Cai shouted.
"Okay," Chi Yao divided the meat in his hand into two portions, handed one of them out, and said, "If it's tender, this one can be eaten directly. The meat porridge is in the pot. You can help yourself."
"Li Fei, help add some fire, speed it up," Chi Yao said, staring at Li Fei's eyes.
"I'm afraid that if I increase the firepower, it will burn." Li Fei responded. Li Fei understood that Chi Yao's words were meant to be. Chi Yao revealed the details to him, hoping that he could also reveal some of them.
However, Li Fei really couldn't say anything about the family's internal affairs. He could only respond that revealing it would be harmful to Chi Yao, that is, "burning."
"It's okay, I can control it." Chi Yao said.
Chi Yao had almost frankly explained that he could control the fire, and also wanted Li Fei to believe that he could grasp the situation.
Li Fei was silent for a while, and said, "Let me help you add some wood."
After that, Li Fei got up and picked up some wood and threw it into the bonfire.
This was a tactful refusal. Li Fei said that he couldn't add fire directly, but he could put in wood to help add fire. Chi
Yao, who got the answer, was not discouraged, and continued, "Tonight, how to allocate the night watch?"
This was Chi Yao's desire to talk to Li Fei alone, and Li Fei hesitated.
Chi Yao continued, "The prize-seeking competition is full of dangers, and there is no means of supervision. It is necessary to keep watch."
Chi Yao's meaning was very clear. The situation of the prize-seeking competition was unclear, and there were no monitoring facilities in the competition. Li Fei could speak with confidence, and he needed Li Fei's information.
Li Fei sighed: "Okay, I'll be in a group with you, you in the first half of the night, and I in the second half of the night."
"Well, that's it." Chi Yao said, handing the skewer of meat in his hand to Li Fei, "It's baked, try it?"
The three people on the other side had already eaten the meat porridge with a satisfied look.
Seeing Chi Yao and Li Fei walking slowly, Lin Cai shouted: "Wow, Chi Yao, your cooking skills are really amazing. I never thought that this canned porridge could be so delicious!"
"Delicious, um, very delicious." Zi Hanyan answered briefly.
"Is the rest of the portion baked? Let me try it!" Ye Lan's eyes glowed, and she drooled without caring about her image.
Chi Yao divided the meat and finally ate it himself.
The white jade-like porridge is dotted with golden diced meat. The proper control of the heat keeps the meat porridge in a mellow but not sticky state. It is soft, smooth and delicate. The diced meat has a burnt aroma, tender and slightly chewy.
Compared with the smooth and tender snake meat porridge, the roasted snake meat is more compact, with a full aroma of fat mixed with the fragrance of charcoal, and a light taste of salt and spices. It is really unforgettable. "Well
, it's really delicious. I didn't expect the meat of a first-level monster to be so good." Chi Yao ate and had more ideas about food. The higher the level of the creature, the higher the edible quality.
After everyone had a delicious meal, they extinguished the campfire, cleaned up the tableware, and prepared to rest as soon as possible.
Chi Yao told Lin Cai and others about the arrangements for the night watch. Tonight, he and Li Fei will keep watch.
Sorry, sorry, I posted it late. I was mainly thinking about some details and was entangled for a long time.
As for the description of food in this chapter, how do you feel about it? Feel free to share your opinions.
Food is my personal opinion. If you think it is not well written, or you don't like it, or it doesn't fit the style of Samsara, I will not write about it in the future
. Also, it seems to be a little watery as I write. I will speed up the progress in the next few chapters and write directly to the final battle and the end of the prize-seeking competition.
