Shokugeki no Imitation Chef

"Don't worry, don't worry, you won't get lost... as long as you are sure you won't get lost!"

"The primordial forest is just this big, and we have a compass, so there won't be any problems. Besides, I can still confirm our current location on the map so far... It shouldn't be far to Jianya."

"'It' stopped to rest again! You wait for me here, this time you must catch 'it'!"

"Be careful!"

"It must be successful!"

"For our bellies tonight..."

Liu Maoxing and the others seem to be tracking the enemy, and the other women are still telling him something solemnly. If there is no last sentence, it really is a martial arts drama or a gangster movie...

But just after Liu Maoxing was alone and touched the front for a while, there was a sound of flying dogs (Liu Maoxing:?)!

That's right, not long ago, Liu Maoxing and others discovered a single wild chubby.

Of course, Liu Maoxing and the others would be happier if they were not alone!

However, although this rock chicken is not big, it is wild enough, it can leap ten feet high in the forest, and it is darting among the treetops, Liu Maoxing didn't catch it for a while.

But this rock chicken was also very unlucky to meet Liu Maoxing, and Liu Maoxing tracked it all the way by relying on his sense of smell!

Although it moves up and down the treetops, it is not a bird after all. There are always times when it gets tired. Now that it is exhausted, Liu Maoxing grabbed a gray-haired, red-beaked, and black-winged grouse in a short while. back.

For a while, Liu Maoyuan and Fei Shazi were fine, but the eyes of Alice and Erina were about to glow green!

The meal at noon was really "rich"!

Alice still feels unbearable to look back on, and Erina even ate two mouthfuls...

Although Liu Maoxing doesn't pay much attention to it, even though he can eat it, if he really "hunger strikes", it's okay to not eat for a day or two.

But seeing the appearance of the two sisters, Liu Maoxing even thought about whether to go straight to the area where the nomads live as quickly as possible, first buy some dried meat and spices with them as supplies, and then return to the virgin forest to collect here ingredients...

However, Liu Maoyuan obviously thought that this way of going back and forth might not be enough time, and Erina and Alice have always been strong, and Liu Maoyuan's words showed a little bit of this meaning, and the two sisters immediately expressed that they could overcome it!

As for Fei Shazi, she was proficient in medicinal cuisine, but in order to better understand medicinal ingredients, she had the experience of dry chewing some small medicinal Chinese medicines to satisfy her hunger. In comparison, the meal at noon was nothing... …

In fact, if we only look at the ingredients, the mushroom feast at noon... or "mushroom feast" is really "rich"!

Goose egg mushrooms, green cabbage mushrooms, morels, porcini mushrooms, Hericium erinaceus...even matsutake!

It's just that there are no spices, and the taste of several fungi boiled in white water is too "original"...

It can also be seen that the group gained a lot in the morning, and in the afternoon, with the help of Fei Shazi's "Chinese Medicine" skills, they also discovered traditional Chinese medicines such as Dao Dang, Angelica, Astragalus, Gastrodia elata, etc., which can be used as ingredients and spices .

Now that another pheasant was caught, Erina was finally relieved.

But at this moment, when they saw the stone chicken in Liu Maoxing's hands, Erina and the three realized that the size of the stone chicken was not as "remarkable" as imagined...

After all, it spread its wings from time to time before, making it difficult to judge the size!

Liu Maoyuan looked more familiar, and explained: "This is a relatively common 'rock chicken' among the pheasants here... the adult body is only about 30 centimeters long, this one should be an adult, but it's only a little over a catty at most. .”

"What? One is only one catty..." Alice said helplessly.

"However, the rock chicken's bones are soft and fleshy, and its internal organs are also small. After cleaning, there should be eight taels of meat." Liu Maoyuan reluctantly comforted her.

"Alright, it's getting dark, and we won't be able to make it to any of the villages today. Let's find a place to pitch a tent." Liu Maoxing said.

"Not far away is Jianya, which is set as a scenic spot because of a hanging spring, but there is only a plank road around it... We can go camping on the side of Jianya, and it is safer to be close to the scenic spot." Liu Maoyuan pointed to the southeast direction.

"Wait, wait... is it safer? There are no beasts here, are there?" Alice asked.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Alice immediately concealed her fear and said, "Hmph! I want to say... If there is a beast, it will disturb us to rest!"

Erina naturally understood some of Alice's small movements, and immediately knew that she was guilty.

He couldn't help frightening her and said, "Hmm! I heard that some beasts are most interested in white and tender meat!"

At this moment, Erina was still joking, after all, the biggest animal they saw during the whole day was this rock chicken with only eight taels of meat! There are also some squirrels, and the rarer macaques, sambars, green sheep, etc. have not been seen.

Although it is a "virgin forest", it seems to be because it is too close to humans, and winter is fine now. In spring, autumn and summer, there are many tourists here, and it is estimated that there will be no large wild animals...

However, Liu Maoyuan said at this time: "Don't worry too much. Although there are records of black bear sightings here, the only more threatening wild animals you can encounter are groups of jackals..."

"Jackal? It's... what kind of dog?" Erina didn't expect that there really was one!

"It's not a dog or a wolf. It's a kind of canid that lives in the mountains! It usually lives in groups and will prey on medium-sized hoofed animals. In theory, it will not actively attack humans... But it is winter after all. Lack of food...who knows?" Liu Maoyuan herself was not worried.

"I think we still need to go to Jianya!" Erina said immediately.

Therefore, Liu Maoxing and his party hurried to Jianya, and in order to avoid the danger of falling rocks, they even picked a high ground...

At this time, Liu Maoxing also took out the tent and assembled it with Liu Maoyuan, and handed over the dinner to Erina, Alice and Fei Shazi.

However, Alice, who was better at "molecular cooking" immediately, felt a little uncomfortable with this kind of cooking method without any equipment, even using firewood for heating, and came over to replace Liu Maoxing...

"Isn't it just pitching a tent? Just leave it to me!" Alice said swearingly, as if she had changed with him because she was better at pitching tents.

"Ah!" Erina suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Maoxing, Alice, and Liu Maoyuan quickly looked over, and saw Erina squatting down with her head in her arms, while Fei Shazi hurriedly took off her coat, and fanned around Erina, as if trying to drive away something.

The sharp-eyed Liu Maoxing has already discovered that Erina is surrounded by an "innocent" bee whose wings are vibrating...

Although it was a fuss, Liu Maoxing ran over to comfort him in two steps: "Okay, I've already flown far away, it's just a bee... Wait! A bee?"

Suddenly, Liu Maoxing's eyes lit up, and he asked them to wait for him at the same place, and then he took a few pieces of kitchen paper and a knife for living in the wild, and followed the smell of bees all the way!

Originally, Liu Maoxing thought that even though the primeval forest is still not very cold, the bees should have migrated too... Who would have thought that there are still some left?

Erina and the girls felt strange... If it was for convenience, it seems that they took the wrong paper, and they don't need to bring a knife, right? Is it for self-defense?

Half an hour later, when Erina and the girls got a little worried, Liu Maoxing had already returned, still holding some things wrapped in kitchen paper.

"This is... ah! Are you too courageous?" Alice couldn't help but exclaimed after opening the things Liu Maoxing brought back.

"Actually, as long as you have some skills, it's not very dangerous... There are some ordinary people in Jiuzhaigou who will go to collect wild honey when the season is right?" Liu Maoxing said.

That's right, Liu Maoxing tracked all the way to the location of the beehive, and cut a few pieces of honeycomb filled with honey.

"By the way, what kind of bee is this?" Liu Maoxing took out a bee and asked Liu Maoyuan...of course it was dead.

"Ah!" Erina screamed again when she saw this, and then jumped away to hide a few steps away, then glared at Liu Maoxing angrily, as if complaining that he suddenly took out this thing.

"It should be 'Aba Zhongbee', but this color is a little..." Liu Maoyuan poked the bee with his finger, and then gave Liu Maoxing a weird look, as if to complain: This is what you said "some skills" ?

That's right, Liu Maoxing is different from professional bee collectors, his "skills" are much simpler and rougher.

That is, when collecting honey, the body temperature was raised to more than 70 degrees!

Bees at this temperature, not to mention stinging, would burn Liu Maoxing's skin if it landed on it...

Of course, Liu Maoxing could also make the body temperature higher, but Liu Maoxing just wanted to collect some honey, and didn't want to destroy the other party, so the temperature was just right, but there were still a few unlucky ones that rushed up and were scalded to death.

The reason why the color is a bit strange is because of the denaturation of protein at high temperature...that is, "cooked" in the usual sense!

Aba Zhongfeng belongs to the relatively large Chinese honeybee, which can adapt to high altitude, cold resistance, and strong collection ability. However, due to the introduction of a variety of exotic bees, the number of Aba Zhongfeng has decreased. Usually in high-altitude and low-temperature areas, beekeepers breed It will also be a hybrid Aba Zhongfeng.

Even the wild bees discovered by Liu Maoxing may not be purebred...

Afterwards, Liu Maoxing also divided several pieces of honeycomb into two parts, one half was directly wrapped in kitchen paper, crushed and crushed, and the filtered honey was packed in a bottle, while the other half was kept like this.

After all, "honeycomb honey" itself is also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine and food material. Before deciding on the recipe, Liu Maoxing kept a part of the honeycomb first.

As for the reason why some of the honey was squeezed out first, it may be used when cooking the rock chicken later.

"Why is this tent so heavy? And the bottom is too thick, isn't it? Are all tents functioning as part-time beds?"

"I don't know, but it does seem to be a little different from ordinary tents..."

"Forget it, we just need to set it up anyway, right? Anyway, there are sleeping bags!"

The conversation between Alice and Liu Maoyuan did not attract Liu Maoxing's attention. At this time, she was beside Feisha, looking at some kind of rhizome-shaped plant part in her hand in doubt, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong? There is a problem with something. ?"

"No, I seem to have misunderstood it before. This is not angelica... Judging from the taste, it should be some kind of Angelica dahurica." Fei Shazi said.

And Liu Maoyuan happened to look over at this time, and said after hearing the words: "It should be 'Xing'an Baizhi'? Although I haven't seen it, I heard that someone mistakenly introduced this kind of Baizhi as an angelica..."

"Okay, everything is fine, now you can confirm that these are non-toxic, and pick out the things that can be incompatible when put together." Liu Maoxing said.

"Are you really all right? You're interested in medicinal cuisine..."

Although Liu Maoxing once used "liver stewed porridge" to show her ability in "medicine and food from the same source", and even handed that recipe to Fei Shazi, it has now become one of her must-kill dishes.

However, Fei Shazi still doesn't have much confidence in Liu Maoxing if he uses traditional Chinese medicine materials directly. Indeed, Liu Maoxing did show it before, and even the names of these things were only known after Fei Shazi told him.

"Medicine? What kind of medicine? I just want to taste it after you confirm that it is non-toxic, and then use it as a simple condiment..." Liu Maoxing rolled his eyes and said.

"..."

That's right, Liu Maoxing doesn't know most of these things, but with the special "super taste", he can "enter" its taste on the spot...

But even the cultivated plants that have been "tamed" by humans for a long time, some people have taboos for some people, or have taboos for matching with each other, and whether these wild wild vegetables or traditional Chinese medicines are good, we should not only consider the taste!

In the end, with the help of Fei Shazi, Liu Maoxing finally chose "Tianma Mountain Mushroom Chicken Soup", "Honey Roasted Wings", "Honey Roasted Chicken Drumsticks"...

As for Erina, since she didn't eat anything at noon, she was basically sluggish at this time.

Although there are no basic seasonings such as onion, ginger, garlic, salt, etc., Liu Maoxing can barely season the chicken soup purely by relying on the roots, stems and leaves of several plants.

Especially the slightly sweet and slightly spicy "Gastrodia elata" is also used as the main condiment by Liu Maoxing. In order to keep out the cold at night, he also listened to Fei Shazi's advice and added a small piece of "Sword Party", as well as angelica and astragalus...

"Dao Dang" can be regarded as today's unexpected harvest, also known as "Suhua Codonopsis", which is a unique Codonopsis ginseng in Jiuzhaigou area, with high medicinal value.

Four of the five members of Liu Maoxing are laymen, and the only "expert in medicinal cuisine" Fei Shazi, who doesn't have much experience in field collection, was actually able to be recognized by Fei Shazi when he saw an exposed ginseng leaf...

Although it was only a small piece of "Knife Party" that was estimated to be two or three years old, this luck really made Liu Maoxing believe in the aura of the time traveler again!

At the same time, I also thought in my heart: But other traversers go to the mountains to pick up artifacts, I only encountered ginseng two or three years ago, it seems that the effect of the halo is only so small...

And the main reason why they gained a lot in one day is that many of the areas they had been active in before, although not the key protected areas that are strictly prohibited from entering, they can't be entered casually, and only a few people came in through the application of the Liu family.

Why is Liu Maoxing's backpack so big?

At noon, after watching the girls take out a large iron pot that looked like it could cook themselves, and the matching picnic rack, Liu Maoxing understood!

I used this big iron pot again, and dug a vacant space not in contact with the surrounding withered grass to set up a bonfire, set up the big iron pot, and started to cook chicken soup...

Liu Maoxing also filled some water to test the water temperature after the water boiled halfway...

Seeing Liu Maoxing reach into the boiling water just now, because of the experience at noon, the girls have also prepared a little bit, except for grinning, Erina looked at him nervously and asked: "Why? Like? Can it be cooked?"

The altitude here has exceeded 3,000 meters. If you want to cook something, you must confirm the boiling point of the water.

Liu Maoxing nodded when he heard the words: "Don't worry! The boiling point is still over 80 degrees... After adding the ingredients, it is estimated that it will rise even higher, and the meat can be cooked above 70 degrees... But it is equivalent to the whole process of low-temperature cooking control, in terms of taste..."

"Okay! Don't worry about that!" Erina said, staring at the pheasant that had been cleaned, its legs and wings removed.

It's really not easy to push Miss Erina to this level...

Although the girls were already in the state of "begging for food", Liu Maoxing still delayed for a while, and first boiled some guessed "bracken" with boiling water for about a minute.

There is a dish called "Sukiyaki Ruyi". The "Ruyi" here does not refer to the bean sprouts with the head and tail removed, but the bracken known as the "king of mountain vegetables", also known as dragon head vegetables.

In the "prime forest", I still collected a lot in one day, at least except for the parts that will be used in preparing for the assessment, which have been put into the fresh-keeping box, you can also eat some by yourself first...

I am no stranger to Bracken Erina and Feishazi, and they are also common mountain vegetables in island countries.

However, although it is a green food, it is not recommended to eat it frequently. It is said to be one of the culprits of the high incidence of gastric cancer in the island country.

But as long as it is fully soaked in water before eating and cooked first, there is basically no harm, and as long as it is not eaten frequently when young, it will not have negative effects... If you eat too many melon seeds, you will get angry. There are many carcinogenic things, and the small shortcomings of bracken do not affect its status as a green food.

Finally, put the pheasant that Liu Maoxing had prepared before, as well as various fungi and Gastrodia elata into the iron pot, and it started to simmer.

As for the other plants used as spices, Liu Maoxing had either cut them into pieces or mashed them and stuffed them into the chicken belly...

Therefore, Liu Maoyuan also saw Liu Maoxing's "Eagle Hand", which uses only two fingers to complete the powerful technique of taking out the internal organs and stuffing the ingredients under the incision of less than five centimeters!

Liu Maoxing even felt that Liu Maoyuan looked at him with "worship" eyes for a long time afterwards...

Let's call it "worship"...

"Let's eat! I really can't help it!" Alice said impatiently after the cooking was almost done and she could gradually smell the aroma in the pot.

Obviously, she didn't eat much at noon.

And Erina and the others are also stubborn, following Liu Maoxing and Liu Maoyuan on the mountain road under the altitude sickness, they didn't complain a word, and they all gritted their teeth and followed...

Although Liu Maoxing and Liu Maoyuan had slowed down to take care of them, the three of them were exhausted enough!

Under Yuanyue's educational form, the students will definitely not lack the spirit of hard work, otherwise they will not be eliminated, or they will automatically drop out of school...

At this time, Liu Maoxing also dug up the soil under the campfire, and took out a bundle of mud bags, which were chicken legs and chicken wings wrapped in tin foil...

"Wait, don't worry, you guys start with the stewed chicken and the 'mountain juice bracken' over there. This one needs to be roasted again." Liu Maoxing said, skewering the chicken legs and wings with a spatula, and continued Roast by the fire.

Previously, only some Gastrodia elata pieces were put in the tin foil for seasoning, but now Liu Maoxing brushed a layer of honey on it...

Using Liu Maoxing's own steel stick brand human "juicer", from various collected "mountain treasures", squeeze the juice out of the cold fern, although the taste smells a bit strange, but it is unexpected tasty!

And it formed a good match with the stewed chicken soup with mountain mushrooms, which seemed very greasy because of its single taste. Even Erina was hungry, and it was rare to eat it...

At this moment, a slightly sweet smell came from the grilled chicken wings and drumsticks in Liu Maoxing's hands.

The previous baking of mud buns has already cooked these, but in order to make it more delicious, Liu Maoxing processed it again... Sure enough, even at this time, he will not forget his professional habits! And this can be regarded as a preliminary attempt on the recipes needed for the assessment.

"Here, it's ready." At this moment, Liu Maoxing also handed four sticks of honey-roasted wings and roasted chicken legs to the four women.

Because the pheasant itself is not big, a few pieces of chicken wings and drumsticks naturally look a little small.

"I'm already full, I can just share one with Miss Alice! Ah Xing, you also carried a day's bag..." Fei Shazi said immediately.

Alice said helplessly: "Only at this time will I think of me... But it is true that I am full, so I will reluctantly..."

"Okay! You guys eat your food. I'll be hungry for a few days." Liu Maoxing resolutely stuck the four sticks on the ground, and then went to wipe out the last stewed chicken in the pot...

And it was already very late at this time, although it might only be seven or eight o'clock according to the time, Erina, Alice, and Fei Shazi who were tired all day were already sleepy, and although Liu Maoyuan had internal strength, her The biological clock is this time to sleep!

Liu Maoxing patted his chest to assure that as long as he did not enter a deep sleep, he would be able to detect any beasts approaching in advance, but there was no need for anyone to guard them outside, and the four women entered the tent in embarrassment...

There is actually a bed at the bottom of the tent, no wonder it is so heavy, but it is surprisingly comfortable...

After Liu Maoxing took charge of handling the bonfire, when he entered the tent, the four girls were already tightly covered in sleeping bags, but the place they reserved was actually in the middle? I don't know what happened just now...

Liu Maoxing felt that the temperature was okay, so he didn't use a sleeping bag, so he lay down in the middle.

But at this moment, Alice, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly felt hiccupped by something, and then stretched her hand out of her sleeping bag, and found a remote control under the "bed" of the tent?

"Huh? What kind of remote control is this? This switch is..."
