Chapter 129 Chef Luo’s Medicinal Diet (2-in-1)
"So, where is the snow lotus we talked about before?" Luo He changed the subject.
Li Wanqing was very concerned about Snow Lotus's condition and expressed the same question to Fang Qing with her eyes.
Fang Qing knew very well that continuing to pursue the matter of the sachet would only bring disaster to Chiyu. She pondered for a moment and said:
"The Snow Lotus is out of danger, but it is still very sick and unwilling to eat. It has been transferred to the third bureau and is being taken care of by Elder Niu."
Hearing this, Luo He imagined a weak Willow Fufeng and a frail and sickly Snow Lotus.
"What's the reason for not wanting to eat?" Luo He asked.
"First of all, this is not a suitable living environment for Snow Lotus." Fang Qing said, "Secondly, its physical weakness has caused a loss of appetite, causing a vicious cycle. Now it can only be adjusted slowly."
"Furthermore, its situation is relatively special. Its racial level is 'intermediate leadership level', so it must adopt step-by-step treatment methods." Fang Qing said.
Luo He was a little surprised.
The racial level of a snowdrop is so high?
The higher the pet beast's racial level, the more stringent its food requirements are, after all, it involves the amount of energy it consumes.
"What about the growth level of Snow Lotus?" Luo He was curious.
"The growth level is not high, only low-level extraordinary."
Fang Qing hung her white coat on the wall and said, "I happen to be free, so let's go over there with you and take a look."
The three of them went to the Breeding Bureau.
Elder Niu had already known the purpose of the three people's visit in advance and came out to greet them personally.
This is a hale and hearty old man with gray hair on his temples. He is already seventy years old and his eyes are still bright.
Elder Niu first greeted Li Wanqing and Fang Qing, then looked at Luo He and said with a smile:
"I have heard about your deeds many times, Luo He, today I have met you."
As early as when Luo He first joined the General Administration, Elder Niu asked Tutu to inquire about this newcomer.
Luo He is only eighteen years old and is already a formal member of the Ninth Bureau. Elder Niu can't help but sigh that he is young and promising.
"I have admired you for a long time, Elder Niu."
Luo He was not being polite, after all, he had really admired the name 'Grandpa Niu' for a long time.
"Tutu often praises you as his capable general. Today I came to the Breeding Bureau. I also hope to see your skills."
Elder Niu spoke with encouragement, turned around and led the way, and said, "You three, come with me."
Luo He asked Li Wanqing beside him with his eyes.
Li Wanqing whispered:
"Elder Niu has watched Director Hu grow up, and he is one of the few people who will be fine even if he encounters bad luck."
Luo He suddenly understood and secretly made a big vow in his heart.
I hope that one day, even if someone calls Hu Ju by his nickname, he will not be assigned!
The three of them came to a hillside covered with ice and snow.
Although it is a hot summer day and the snow on the hillside is not melting, Elder Niu explained:
"The snow on this mountain was temporarily created with the help of the Ice Winged Dragon to accommodate the snowdrops."
The Ice Wing Dragon is the evolved form of Jiang Yuenuan's Ice Wing baby dragon, and has a king-level racial level.
However, if you want the baby dragon to evolve, the money and resources you need to invest are astronomical. Even if you give Luo He a baby dragon, you can't afford it.
It is a plant-based pet, relatively easy to maintain.
It might also be able to produce food raw materials, which is Chef Luo's favorite choice for his next pet beast.
"Before meeting Snow Lotus, there is one more thing I must remind you of."
Elder Niu looked back at Luo He and others, and said:
"This snowdrop is shy by nature, very afraid of strangers, and is only willing to communicate with a very few people."
"Luo He, you must pay more attention when you come into contact with it, so as not to disturb it and worsen its symptoms." Elder Niu warned.
Luo He nodded, followed Elder Niu and approached the top of the mountain, lost in thought.
I heard Elder Niu also describe that this snow lotus seems to be very socially fearful?
Not a big problem.
Even if you can't communicate with words, you can still communicate with food.
Relying on cooking to impress pet beasts...this is my, Luo, cooking style!
The closer you get to the top of the mountain, the lower the temperature becomes. Amidst the vast ice and snow, a flawless white snow lotus blooms on the top of the mountain.
The petals of the snow lotus are like a crown made of white jade. If you look carefully, there is a small and exquisite figure under the snow lotus crown.
Luo He took out his mobile phone with the illustrated book function and scanned it.
It is worthy of being the pet beast of the leader-level race. It has only reached the extraordinary stage and has two high-level moves. The other moves also have their own uses.
Hua Xiangmian, as you can tell from the name, is a control move used to "hypnotize" and put the enemy into a deep sleep.
Aromatherapy heals oneself and teammates by distributing a refreshing aroma, which is considered a group treatment.
Taken together, pet beasts like Snow Lotus are well positioned as auxiliary wet nurses, and are more than sufficient to serve as team doctors.
In the legend of the Snowy Mountains, the snow lotus symbolizes holiness and protection, and pets that see the snow lotus can eliminate all illnesses.
However, it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself.
Snow Lotus's own situation is not optimistic now, let alone protecting others.
Feeling the scent of a stranger, Snow Lotus timidly raised her sapphire-like eyes and glanced at Luo He.
Immediately, he dug a hole in the snow and buried his body in the snow, revealing the crown-like snow lotus.
Luo He: "..."
This snowdrop belongs to the ostrich species.
"You stay here first, wait for me for a moment."
Li Wanqing warned Luo He, then stepped forward and half-crouched in front of Snow Lotus.
She placed her palms on Snow Lotus's crown, warm white light surged through her palms, and a soft look shone in her eyes.
"Don't be nervous." Li Wanqing said softly, "He is here to help you."
Snow Lotus was rescued by Li Wanqing from the Hunters Association, and she was the closest to her, but she still refused to come out. The Snow Lotus above her head shook slightly as if shaking her head twice.
"It has a timid temperament." Elder Niu looked embarrassed, "It is difficult for him to be willing to receive treatment for a while."
Luo He thought for a while and took out the imperial concubine's flower liquid presented by Principal Qin.
When you open the bottle, the fragrance of flowers overflows.
The imperial concubine flower liquid contains a large amount of nutrients needed by grass-type pets, and it is difficult for grass-type pets to resist the fragrance it emits.
The snowdrop poked its head out of the snow for a moment, then shrank back again.
Although the movement was slight, it clearly showed that he cared about the imperial concubine's floral fluid.
Luo He felt a little more confident.
The key now is to not only solve the problem of snowdrops being picky eaters, but also use food to nourish them.
In other words, it is necessary to prepare a medicinal diet for snow lotus according to the same principles as medicine and food.
Medicinal food, this is undoubtedly Chef Luo’s area of expertise.
Based on the imperial concubine's flower liquid as an ingredient, Luo He began to think about which dish to make.
"If you want to make a dish that nourishes the body, porridge is undoubtedly one of the best choices."
Luo He thought to himself: "Captain Li said that this snow lotus is very picky, so I can only bring out the porridge that I am most confident about."
This porridge is a traditional delicacy of Donghuang. It is made from a variety of ingredients. This dish will always appear on the table during every New Year and festival. It has the effect of nourishing qi, calming the mind, and nourishing the body——
Laba porridge, also known as eight-treasure porridge.
There are many ways to make Babao porridge. It is called Babao porridge. In fact, there are more than ten kinds of raw materials, including but not limited to candied dates, longan, red beans, walnut meat, etc.
On the basis of eight-treasure porridge, Luo He decided to create a dish and add another famous porridge recipe: five-color porridge.
Five-color porridge, also known as five-color bean porridge, is made from red beans, soybeans, mung beans, white lentils, and black beans. The nutritional value is greatly improved by complementing the food.
Babao porridge is not limited to the types of raw materials. Combining it with five-color porridge can make the taste and efficacy of medicinal food even better.
In "The Little Master of China", there is also a similar porridge called "Rainbow Porridge", which has the magical effect of detoxification and health preservation.
Essentially, it is made from five-color raw materials: red cabbage, mung beans, pine nuts, pumpkin, and longan.
Actually using red vegetables to color the porridge does not necessarily taste delicious, so Luo He chose to use regular red beans to achieve the "colorful" red color.
Luo He named this innovative dish, Colorful Eight-Treasure Porridge.
While Luo He was deep in thought, Li Wanqing comforted Snow Lotus but it had no effect. She stood up and looked at Luo He and said:
"It still refuses to have contact with the outside world. Let me do some psychological work on it and solve its picky eating problem."
"Otherwise, I can just light a fire and cook here."
Luo He suggested: "The aroma of delicious food is more convincing than words."
Chef Luo is already very skilled at using the aroma of cooking to lure pet beasts, even better than Xia Miao.
Except for the low strength of his pet beast, his business ability alone is enough to become the Four Heavenly Kings of the Hunter Association.
Li Wanqing was slightly surprised: "Have you already decided which dish to cook?"
Luo He nodded and said:
"It's a porridge dish, and with the royal concubine's flower liquid, it should make the snow lotus eat it willingly."
Li Wanqing thought for a moment and had no objection.
Elder Niu and Fang Qing were very curious about Luo He's cooking on the spot and watched from the sidelines.
Luo He summoned a complete set of kitchen utensils, placed them according to his wishes, and then asked Xiaojiu to light up the stove fire in the ice and snow.
Luo He washed the glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans, almonds and other raw materials and set them aside, then took out a casserole.
The casserole is a powerful tool for cooking porridge. The small holes in the texture of the casserole can absorb and release the flavor of the ingredients, making the porridge more fragrant. The casserole itself can also allow the food to be heated evenly, so that the nutrients in the raw materials will not be easily lost.
The taste is more delicious.
The famous Chaoshan seafood porridge is characterized by casserole porridge.
Luo He took out the Xuanwu board and processed the longan on the chopping board. He didn't even need to use his hands to remove the shell. He waved the square-headed kitchen knife and the longan shell fell off, revealing the tender white jade flesh.
Then mix glutinous rice, red beans, mung beans and other raw materials, add water, a little imperial concubine flower liquid into the casserole, and carefully control the heat.
Stewing porridge in a casserole is a long process that requires patience, so Luo He and his party started chatting on the top of the mountain.
Luo He called out Xiaojiu.
The little guy lay on the snowy ground, burying his head in the snow like a snowdrop, then raised his head and shook his head, shaking off the snow on his beard.
Li Wanqing sent out the Beidi Wolf King. As the Wolf King appeared on the stage, a strong wind with its own coercion suddenly arose on the scene.
Xiaojiu was originally lying down peacefully, but after walking a few steps, he stood on his feet and raised his hands.
He was obviously frightened by the Northern Wolf King.
"Aurora, you can take Xiaojiu to another mountain to train." Li Wanqing said, "Today, I was able to learn the 'Instant Shadow Attack'."
Luo He warned: "There are also nine sections of wolf fury. You can learn the pressure of the aurora and use it to strengthen your exclusive skills."
There is no need for Xiaojiu to learn the 'deterrence' move, just train its exclusive skills directly.
The deeper the understanding of coercion and the higher the racial level, the stronger the effect of Xiao Jiu's 'Nine Sections of Wolf Fury'.
If he could grow to the level of Lord Zao in the future, it would be possible for the ‘Nine Sections of Wolf Fury’ to unleash demonic pressure.
Aurora responded, stretched out its limbs, and ran vigorously without using the wind.
Xiao Jiu also shouted, lying on all fours on the ground, using her short legs to follow the Aurora.
At this time, the aroma in the casserole has diffused.
Luo He looked away and saw Snow Lotus looking timidly here, obviously unable to resist the temptation of the fragrance.
However, after meeting Luo He's eyes, Snow Lotus looked so nervous that she was trembling.
Luo He tried his best to show a friendly smile.
Snow Lotus buried half of its body in the snow, as if its body and mouth were submerged in the water, revealing a pair of sapphire eyes.
The sky is filled with clouds, and the aroma is rising from the casserole.
Seeing that the heat was up, Luo He opened the casserole and prepared to serve the porridge.
In an instant, Elder Niu seemed to have an hallucination in front of his eyes. He saw a bright rainbow light blooming from the casserole, like a rainbow light pillar rising into the sky!
Elder Niu took a closer look and was shocked.
This is not an illusion, it is this porridge, it really has five colors!
The hot air just out of the oven refracted the colors, causing a rainbow to appear for a moment!
Fang Qing was in a daze for a long time.
I know Luo He's cooking skills are excellent, but it's outrageous to be able to make porridge look like a rainbow!
You know, the most famous deed of Emperor Nong is the colorful soup.
Although the colorful porridge in front of you is not one thousandth as good as Nongdi’s cuisine, it is still enough to shock your heart!
The aroma is fragrant and the color is attractive.
Snow Lotus also leaned out from the snow and looked here blankly.
Li Wanqing felt curious and asked, "Why is this porridge colorful?"
"To be precise, there are five colors, red, yellow, green, white and black."
Luo He said: "The red color is provided by red beans, which has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, and is especially suitable for people with weak stomach and kidneys."
"Yellow is pumpkin, which can supplement vitamins."
"Mung beans can clear away heat and detoxify; longan is nourishing and replenishing; black glutinous rice nourishes blood and replenishes qi."
Luo He Rushu Jiazhu: "In terms of cooking method, I combined the traditional eight-treasure porridge and five-color porridge to create this dish."
"I call it colorful eight-treasure porridge."
Fang Qing's eyes flickered and she glanced at Luo He.
This is a true integration of medicine and food!
Elder Niu was shocked that Luo He was able to understand medicinal foods to such a level at such a young age.
Why is Luo He not from the Breeding Bureau!
Elder Niu thought with regret... This kind of talent should be a member of the Breeding Bureau!
What shocked Elder Niu even more was that Snow Lotus actually approached here on its own initiative!
"Come and taste it."
Luo He smiled and handed over a bowl of colorful eight-treasure porridge: "It should suit your taste."
Elder Niu watched nervously. Usually at this time, Snow Lotus would have shaken her head in refusal.
But this time, Snow Lotus really stretched out her two little hands, took the bowl from Luo He, and took a sip.
It's sunny on the top of the mountain.
The warm sunshine falls on the jade-white crown of the snow lotus.
Snow Lotus looked intoxicated, squinting in enjoyment.
Luo He heard a telepathic sound.
"Hey~" (Thank you~)
The crisp little girl's voice revealed a bit of shyness and a bit of etherealness, as if she was born noble.
Telepathy is a special ability of pet beasts, which can only be mastered by pet beasts with high racial levels or extraordinary talents.
Luo He was startled and looked at the snow lotus with incredible eyes.
