The scene of Sirona cooking is actually far from being tragic. Perhaps everyone has seen Sirona's ability to turn any simple dish into black charcoal, so the threshold has been raised.
However, just because it's not terrible doesn't mean it's done well.
From Luther's critical point of view, there are too many things worth criticizing about Shijana's process.
However, considering that the conditions in the wild are just like that, and Shijana eats them herself, Luther set a very low threshold.
As long as it can be eaten, it is still edible.
Perhaps she realized that the tomato and egg noodles she made were a bit overturned, or she felt that only one portion of noodles could not pass the test, so Shijana took out the pan.
She was frying various vegetables on the pan. Because she couldn't control the amount of seasoning well, she carefully sprinkled salt and pepper into the pan with her fingers.
Sirona's lesson reminded Sijana that if there is less seasoning, you can make up for it, but if there is more...
Mariluli was originally drooling and waiting to eat the leftovers behind Luther, but after noticing the helpless smiles on Luther and Mai's faces, her inner alarm went off.
She recalled the dark memory of Sirona bringing two lumps of black charcoal to her for tasting. The wild and unruly smell hit her nose, making her want to run away on the spot.
Wouldn't Shijana be like this too?
Thinking of this, she took a few steps back, fearing that Luther wouldn't be able to eat anymore, and then waved her hand: "Maliluli, come here!"
Although she can eat, she can’t eat everything!
Shijana's forehead was covered with sweat. When the fried vegetables came out of the pot, she quickly put them on the plate, and she and the bear in the dress walked up to Luther and Mai with the noodles and the dishes.
"Master, please use it."
Luther looked at the two bowls of noodles brought to him, then looked at Mai beside him while suppressing a smile.
Everyone sitting and watching also walked behind Luther to see what the final product looked like.
Just like what Mai said, although what is cooked is noodles, what is served is not necessarily noodles.
Although Shijana made the right choice to cook noodles, there were problems with her operating procedures, and it was also difficult for someone who didn't cook much to control the heat.
The noodles in Luther's bowl were not bad. Although they had turned into lumps and turned into gnocchi, the sweet and sour smell of tomatoes still came out, which made Luther not find it unacceptable to his sense of smell.
In terms of appearance, it is relatively poor. The beaten egg whites are dotted on the noodles, which looks scattered. In addition, it was put out too early and the green onions are no longer green...
"It's still edible." Luther was silent for a moment, comforting himself.
But Mai's side was a bit more miserable.
Two portions of noodles came out of the pot one after another, but because Shijana was in a hurry, she poured the noodle soup into the bowl early along with the noodles. As a result, Mai's noodles were almost mushy and fell apart as soon as she picked them up with her chopsticks.
If you don’t know better, you might think that these noodles are made of tofu.
The fine sweat on Shijana's forehead was like a waterfall, falling continuously.
This was simply a public execution. She was so focused on doing it that she didn't realize that she was doing a bad job with the noodles.
But after putting it on Master's table, she took a closer look... What is this?
I did this?
Is this edible?
Luther gave his spoon to Mai. He felt that Mai needed this more than he did.
"Then let's try it."
As he spoke, Luther picked up the lumpy noodles with his chopsticks and put them directly into his mouth without hesitation.
Mai also used a spoon to find a piece of gnocchi that had not yet melted into a paste and put it into her mouth.
Shijana wanted to say that he failed the assessment and would come again next time. He felt that it was really inappropriate for his master to eat such a thing...
Staring intently at his master's mouth for a while, Luther stopped chewing and looked at the noodles in the bowl in silence.
Mai's reaction was similar, but she also took a spoonful of noodle soup to drink.
Shijana's heart was racing and she was nervously waiting for the evaluation.
When the two of them took away the stir-fried vegetables on the other side of the plate, Shijana realized that she had another dish.
Luther and Mai looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths raised.
"I didn't expect that."
"Although the noodles don't look very good, the noodle soup is pretty good, which saved you." Luther commented.
Mai wiped her mouth and said with a smile: "Is this a clear idea of solving the problem and finding the best way to pass the level?"
The noodles are paired with nutritious eggs from tomatoes and Geely eggs. Just add a little pepper and salt to the egg soup to maintain the taste. It doesn't matter if the noodles are lumpy. After all, the test requirement is that they are not unpalatable.
If the heat of the seasonal vegetables is not good enough, add seasonings to cover it up. First fry it a little in oil, then let Nidoking help control the heat, and stir-fry over high heat. The biggest criticism of the final product may be uneven heating and some green vegetables are not broken.
For Shijana, who eats relatively rough, the noodles and vegetables in front of her can even be considered a delicious meal.
After hearing Luther and Mai's comments, Mariluli poked her head behind Luther.
Shijana carefully watched Luther's expression and asked, "Master...did I pass?"
Luther took another bite of noodles, put down his chopsticks with a wry smile, and waved to Mariluli.
"Eat, eat, can you wipe off your saliva? It's not like I haven't fed you. Others will think I'm treating you harshly."
Mariruli smiled and poured the noodles from the bowl into her mouth, then looked at Mai, who was still drinking the noodle soup.
Mai suppressed her laughter and gave the noodle soup to Mariluli.
Seeing Mariluli's performance, Luther smiled and shook his head, then turned back and stared at Shijana.
"Do you know why I want to test your picnic skills?"
Shijana said: "Master is afraid that I will starve myself in the wild."
Luther tapped Sijana's forehead: "It would be strange if you were hungry. After being a wild child in Meteor Falls for so long, you know where to find food better than most people."
"I told you that when Mai and I were traveling, we didn't have much money, so we always bought some cheap ingredients for processing when we arrived in the town."
"Mai picked the cheap flour for the egg pancake and made it with me when she got up early in the morning."
"In addition, I am also very lucky to be able to conquer the lucky eggs, so that we will not have to worry about food all the time on the road."
"However, although the nutritious eggs from Geely Eggs are delicious, they will get boring if you eat them all the time, so we always try different ways to make them."
"Although traveling is a wonderful thing, monotonous scenery can also make you feel bored."
"At this time, you need to reward yourself and the elves, so that you can continue to set off with full energy the next day."
Most children's imagination of traveling is to follow a map, plan a route, and go along the main roads of several towns, even if they enter the forest, they will not go very deep.
Luther has seen this kind of travel route too many times among newcomers.
While they complain that they are never able to encounter various elves, they are also unwilling to go to areas where wild elves are often active.
But it's no wonder, most new trainers are in similar condition to Xiaozhi when they first go out.
The basic combat attributes of elves are limited to hearing something once or twice. Specifically speaking, in the battle, the two eyes are completely black. Whether the battle is won or not depends mostly on luck.
His lack of survival skills made simple things like making a fire to cook in the wild and feed himself and his elves a big and nerve-wracking task.
In this case, the optimal route is to follow the official plan and take the highway with more people.
It is safe, and you can communicate with peers, increase your knowledge, and then eat free meals provided by the elf center built by the alliance without having to worry about safety issues.
However, Shijana would not do this. Since she was determined to become the leading trainer and surpass others on the island, she would definitely not be able to follow the official planned route.
Those rugged mountain roads, steep mountain peaks, and bitingly cold ground are the places Xijana wants to go.
Walking in such a place is not only physically demanding, but the boring and monotonous scenery often makes people feel irritated.
When Luther went to Chefeng City, the snowy scenery along the way made him excited at first.
However, after walking for a long time, he and Mai looked at the vast expanse of white in the distance, feeling numb and tired inside.
Until the two people lit a bonfire in the snow, set up kitchen utensils, and had a hot meal.
When the warm food fell from the throat into the stomach, warmth spread all over the body. Watching the jumping flames of the bonfire in front of him warm his body that was numb from the cold, he lowered his head and sucked the soup in the bowl.
That feeling of solidity, that clarity of knowing again where you should go and what your goals are, is a pleasant feeling of happiness.
This is not only a stomach problem, but also a good way to cure your mental fatigue.
The more delicious the food, the more joy and motivation it can bring to people.
Gilly Egg took out a pan and handed it to Shijana.
Luther said: "Take it, this is the pan that Geely Egg, I, and Mai used to take turns cooking at that time."
In fact, this was not the first pot they used, but the second pot they bought for Geely Eggs.
The first pot turned into his snack due to Mai's Boss Cordora's trouble...
Never put anything metal near these guys, it's on their diet!
Shijana took the pan, turned it over and took a look at the bottom of the pan that had been cleaned but still had traces of fire.
These are all traces of my master's travels, and they are symbols with special commemorative significance.
When the master started from Twinleaf Town, he was a young man who was never favored by others and had no self-confidence. He climbed up step by step and finally achieved what he is today, becoming a new legend among the people of the Sinnoh region.
"Now, it's my turn!"
Shijana clenched the gift given to her by her master, her eyes firm.
"I want to achieve an achievement that is no less than Master's, so that when others mention Qidao, they will instantly think of my name!"
