Chapter 37 Ingredients (Thanks to the leader of Buli Nanshan for the reward!)
Salmon sashimi also tastes very good, but Ian doesn't like eating it raw, and this is a different world. Who knows if the fish here are the same as the earth? Are there any parasites that everyone doesn't know about?
Fire roasting is of course a relatively safe choice.
Hilliard hadn't come back yet, and Ellan was still sleeping. Ian packed his clothes and found a few more holes in his trouser legs, which made him frown slightly: "It seems that I have to buy new clothes... Summer is okay now, no matter what
No matter how strong your body is, it will still be inconvenient in autumn and winter."
The boy took off his soaked clothes, dried them by the fire pit, and began to process the salmon.
Picking up the fish dividing knife, dipping it in water and grinding the blade on the whetstone, Ian skillfully cut off the fish head, then cut off the fish body, and finally separated the fish tail. Later he will use the fish tail, fish head and fish bones to combine
When cooking soup, nothing is wasted.
Immediately afterwards, the fish body was cut open vertically along the direction of the fish bones. After Ian carefully took out the fish bones and fish bones, what was left was pure meat.
This salmon was indeed blue mist grade, and the fish looked quite fresh and tender. It even smelled slightly sweet, causing Ian to swallow his saliva and feel hungry.
"It's a pity that there are not enough spices and oil. Otherwise, frying the fish meat and bones and then stewing the soup will be much fresher than simply boiling the fish in salt water..."
Ian felt a little regretful about the ingredients - he often cooked by himself on Earth, and his cooking skills were quite good, but this time the salmon meat was definitely the top ingredient on Earth, but he couldn't fully unleash its deliciousness.
"Grilled fish is also good - after all, high-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods."
But he is always optimistic.
After processing the fish, Ian marinated it with a layer of brown sea salt, then took out the silver coins from the ashes and lit the fire.
If the silver coins given by Hilliard want to be old, they need to be 'raised' for a while, but Ian is not in a hurry. Oceana's previous savings and sleeping powder are funds that can be used safely, and that is enough.
It's been a good time.
While preparing to grill the fish, he also planned to process the herbs given by Elder Pude.
"Speaking of which, is the Berea Condensing Grass..." Picking up the wooden box, the boy's eyes moved slightly: "What level of sublimated plant is that?"
Ian has had 'precognitive vision' for some time, and he feels that he has not fully explored the potential of this psychic ability.
But at least, he has classified the many 'colors' revealed in the precognitive vision and summarized a simple system.
After turning on the precognitive vision, the scenery in Ian's eyes will turn into a world composed of mist of various colors. According to the trend from bad to good, the quality of items and their rarity can be divided into different categories and levels.
Black and red represent good or bad luck.
Gray, white, blue, and purple represent the treasure of the item.
And the temporarily undefinable, independent gold.
Judging from Ian's instincts and the events he has experienced, black represents a death crisis - one that is certain to die and will never change unless he fights hard. The danger level is approximately equivalent to that of an eight-year-old child fighting against himself.
The uncle who smoked mushrooms and went crazy and was in cahoots with the aborigines'.
Red is a bloody disaster, with life in danger. But death is not inevitable. An example is probably "if you choose to venture to the north, you will be attacked by a group of jungle leopards" - as long as you don't go, you will be fine, and if you do encounter it, you may not be able to defeat it.
This represents good or bad luck.
The next thing is to represent the rarity of something.
Gray occupies the vast majority of the precognitive horizon. It represents inferior, defective and old, or various ordinary raw materials that have not been processed, such as sand and soil, old bricks and tiles, and materials that have been used for more than ten years.
Year old wooden table etc.
White is slightly less than gray. It represents ordinary, normal, newly produced furniture, or some processed materials, such as fired kiln bricks, glass and algae oil.
The white mist has different shades, the lightest one is almost gray, it is a red cedar wooden chair that has been used for half a year, and the thickest one is the fine iron hand and half sword hanging at the door of the blacksmith shop, which is worth about five pagodas.
Le, it is the proud work of the blacksmith.
As for blue, it is rare. It has surpassed all ordinary and common materials. Most of them are related to sublimation materials and have extraordinary effects-Osenna's deformed bones and Supor sleeping powder are all in this category.
The last purple is rare - Ian doesn't know what purple represents, because it was a flicker of light he saw in the distance when he passed by the Viscount's Mansion.
In the entire Harrison Port, only the Viscount Mansion had a purple light.
Other places, no matter how rich and mysterious they are, are just blue mist.
Inferior gray, common white, rare blue, rare purple.
This is the item level that Ian knows now.
Above this, there may be higher levels such as 'excellence', 'epic', 'legend' and 'myth', but that is another matter. At least Ian has not seen anything of this level yet.
As for the golden light on my teacher Hilliard...
Ian still doesn't know what type of golden light flowing around Hilliard's body is.
Is it ‘luck’ or ‘rarity’?
And gold, is excellence above purple, epic or legendary?
Or even...a myth?
Everything is unclear, so it can only be classified separately.
The only thing he knew was that the golden light was enough to change his future.
This time at the fish market, Ian was sure that his ability could indeed distinguish rare ingredients hidden among many ordinary ingredients. No matter how much gray-white mist there was, it could not block the blue light.
"let me see."
At this moment, Ian opened his precognitive vision and observed the herbs in the box.
The Berria Concentration Grass looks like sharp grass, but is sharper. Its top is like a pine needle, and its whole body is dark green with a thin layer of white fluff. It feels stinging to the touch and smells like lighter pine resin.
It usually grows together with sharp grass, and only skilled herb collectors can select it from many weeds based on the difference in shape of its tips.
The package contains dried Ningshen grass, which has a better concentration effect, but has a slower onset of action. The color of the freshly cut Ningshen grass is a lighter green, which can be used as a quick-acting analgesic, but has no effect on concentration.
Effect.
What Ian saw with his eyes was all mist.
In the precognitive vision, the medicine package is light blue, mainly because there are many other auxiliary herbs in the medicine package. The main material of Condensation Grass is blue, while the other materials are just ordinary white.
“It was very considerate and divided into ten days…”
After muttering to himself, Ian took out a packet of medicinal herbs from the medicine box. He looked at it carefully for a moment, then untied it and put it into the boiling clean water - and in the second breath after the medicinal herbs were submerged in the water,
The water mist rose, and a faint fragrance filled the room. It smelled like a light rain in early spring when it was slightly cold.
It takes half an hour to cook the medicinal herbs, which is just the time to grill the fish. The fire is already strong, and there will be a natural woody aroma after the fir wood burns. Ian skewers the processed plump fish meat with wooden skewers and places it next to the fire.
Then there's the waiting.
Under the high temperature of the flame, the salt particles originally applied to the fish began to crystallize and peel off. The surface of the fish also became dry and wrinkled, and then cracked. What followed was the tender inner layer of meat, and the delicious oil and water were cooked by the fire.
The burning flames kept pouring out and dripping from it, and from time to time the flames would suddenly become stronger for a moment, burning roaringly.
The room was soon filled with the fragrance of herbs and fat. Smelling the aroma of steaming meat, Ian, who had been craving for a long time, couldn't help but sigh: "Such a good fish, even if it is eaten raw without being sliced, I'm afraid it will taste good."
"
He took off a string of grilled fish steaks. In his precognitive vision, the grilled fish steaks were visible to the naked eye, surrounded by light blue fluorescent mist, and filled with mysterious weapons, which contained a mysterious and delicious flavor.
Ian, who was already hungry at the fish market, swallowed and took a bite.
Immediately, the hot taste fills your mouth, the light salty taste of sea salt, combined with the tender and fatty flavor of the fish, it is really delicious.
Ian chewed the juicy fish steak a few times and could clearly feel the smoothness of his teeth cutting through the fish meat. The unique texture of the fish meat combined with the taste of sea water was swallowed into his stomach, and his long-awaited stomach began to digest it.
Two bites have been taken.
As each mouthful of fish meat is swallowed and slid into the belly, the blue mist melts in the abdomen, and a sense of satisfaction and comfort spreads throughout the body, driving away fatigue, even to the tops of the fingers and toes.
There is a tingling sensation, which is the power conveyed by the blood rushing to the end of the body.
At this moment, Ian felt that his physical strength was rapidly recovering. As the 'second heart' of the virtual source began to operate, he felt that a brand-new power was gushing out of his stomach, which was different from physical strength.
Another kind of life force, it sweeps through every corner of the body, rejuvenating muscles and organs.
This feeling is very strange, as if he originally thought he was healthy, strong and full of energy, but in fact it was a kind of sub-health, far from reaching the upper limit of physical strength.
"More than that."
At this moment, the boy was keenly aware that there seemed to be a small vortex in his heart, where the virtual source seed was located... It was spinning and pulsing, just like the heart running the blood throughout the body, moving that different vortex.
The life force outside of physical strength, the power called 'origin', is extracted and purified from the stomach and blood.
Then, transfer the more refined essence to every corner of the body!
Ian couldn't help but groan, and his whole body felt as comfortable as if he had gone home and soaked in a warm bathtub after being blown by the cold wind all day.
Not only that, he became more energetic... and his eyes and ears also became sharper.
Now, Ian is far more energetic than before, and his condition is moving towards the best situation ever!
When Hilliard returned to the house, he couldn't help but be surprised.
"This scent..."
He was a little confused just outside the house, but after entering the house, he was completely confirmed. The old knight was shocked and said: "Herbs, and the smell of source food - sublimation materials?"
"How did the kid get it?"
Confused, he quickly walked into the house, and happened to see Ian taking down four grilled fish steaks that were already fragrant and overflowing with oil, and placed them on a wooden plate.
"Teacher? Thank you for your hard work tonight."
Ian turned his head when he saw the old knight returning. He had just boiled the concentration herbal water and was about to put it in a dark place to rest for a whole day.
He smiled and greeted: "Here are freshly made fish steaks."
"It's a pity that there is no sauce and oil, otherwise it might taste better."
