Since arriving in Liante City, Abel's housekeeper Bartoli felt that she had not taken enough care of her master's life, so after returning to her residence in the evening, she began to study making a delicious dinner for Abel.
Because ordinary ingredients can be purchased using magic stones, Bartoli purchased a large amount of basic ingredients. At this point, she knew that there was no need to save for Abel, although she did not know that Abel's Horadric Cube could Synthesizing intermediate and high-level magic stones, but she knew that the master had a lot of magic stones in his hands.
Just the magic stones that Johnson directly attracted from the ground were enough to fill a space bag, and the intermediate magic stones that Abel handed over to her were also hundreds of pieces. Therefore, surviving in Liante City, in addition to the lack of points, Except for the inability to buy high-end food materials, survival is not a problem. Besides, if it doesn't work, just go out of the city to buy them. There are many space bags at Abel's place, so just bring a few more.
Of course, Abel still had the 1,000 points he had just obtained, but she also saw the way Abel looked at those super redeemable items. Before getting the source of the points, it was better to use the points where they were most needed.
Abel watched Bartoli trying to make meals with great interest today, but judging from her operations, Abel knew that she had learned cooking for a period of time, although this was rare among nobles. , but some nobles still like the feeling of cooking by themselves.
It’s just that in Abel’s view, the cooking level of this era is still very primitive, which is far different from the cooking skills of his original world. In the past, he either didn’t have time or was too lazy to do it, but now he has Bartoli. , can I write down some cooking techniques and give them to her
Abel is also a person who likes to enjoy himself. He misses the taste of the previous world very much, but he does not have time to study cooking. Of course, if the skill tree of the Horadric Cube can turn cooking into a skill, he can still consider it.
Now that Bartoli showed such interest, Abel decided to help her.
Although Abel's cooking skills were not very high before, he could only be said to be able to eat food, but as his mental power became higher and higher, some of his memories of the previous world became clearer and clearer.
He took out his quill and a stack of parchment, and kept thinking about it while writing and drawing on the parchment.
From the most basic stir-fry, stir-fry, stir-fry, deep-fry, cook, pan-fry, paste, roast, simmer, stew, steam, and boil, the basic operations are written down one by one, and some well-known cooking dishes are written for each. formula for Bartoli to study.
Abel wrote down these cooking techniques very quickly, sorted them out from his memory, and then transcribed them directly onto the parchment paper. Although there was a lot of content, it didn't take much time.
After everything was written, he discovered the most important thing, that is, there is a lack of flavoring in the world. Although the most important main flavoring "Rabbit Essence" is already available, if you want the taste to be varied, you need other things. Auxiliary flavoring agent.
He looked through the empty spirit beast bag. When he left the elves, he took away a large number of various medicinal materials. He selected some materials with peculiar taste and ordinary prices. It took him a lot of time, and then he selected Medicinal materials that can replace onions, ginger, peppers, garlic and other seasoning ingredients have been developed.
At this time, everything Abel did was to satisfy his appetite. He did not realize that his dietary theory was completely different from the entire diet of the Holy Continent. He simply wrote He wrote a book about catering, but the changes in the diet of the Holy Continent far exceeded his changes as a master blacksmith.
"Bartoli, come on!" Abel called to Bartoli, who was still experimenting with how to add 'rabbit essence' to the food to make it more delicious.
"Master!" Bartoli put down what she was doing, walked to Abel and bowed.
"This is a book I wrote about making food. You can try it out as written above to see if what I wrote is feasible or not!" Abel compiled the parchment book he had just written into one. Leave it to Bartoli and say.
"Master, you can actually write a book on how to make food?" Bartoli's surprise can be imagined. She knew that Abel was a noble, but not all nobles would learn cooking like her, especially As a male noble, it was basically impossible for him to come into contact with cooking. Although she knew that Abel was very good at barbecue, it was just a field survival skill when going out, not real cooking.
"I'm waiting for Bartoli to make the food in my book so that I can eat delicious food!" Abel smiled and took out a few small bags, and then said: " Here are several seasoning ingredients that go with this book, take them and study them together! ”
"Yes, Master!" Bartoli took the book and went to study on her own.
Of course, the dinner was nothing special. It was just soup and mashed potatoes with 'rabbit essence' added. It tasted good, but it was a bit monotonous.
After dinner, Bartoli found Abel again.
"Master, I have done preliminary research on the recipe you wrote. Many ingredients are not available in Liante City. Can I go out of the city to buy them?" Bartoli treated this matter very carefully, because this is Abel's first time. She was given a real housekeeping task, and she wanted to report to Abel when she was about to leave Leante City to buy ingredients.
"No, you go to the Blacksmiths Guild and use the contact circle there to contact Bernie of the Gough family and ask him to send some ingredients through the Blacksmiths Guild's teleportation circle on a regular basis!" Abel waved his hand and said. Bernie's friendship doesn't care about this little thing. He will stay here for a while in the future, and he can't let Bartoli go outside the city every day.
Seven days have passed, and Abel's life is very stable. During the day, he sometimes goes to the Blacksmith's Guild to read information, sometimes he practices knight's charge in the yard, and at night, he enters the dark world to sweep the prison, while Bartoli seems to be crazy. Generally, the kitchen on one side of the yard is regarded as the wizard's research room.
In the past two days, Abel has been able to eat dishes made by Bartoli that are very similar to Chinese food. Due to the different materials and condiments, there are still some differences in the mouth, but due to the presence of 'rabbit essence', These dishes still satisfied him very much.
Bartoli arranged a table of delicious dishes early at noon that day. These were the results of her seven days of research. Of course, according to her idea, these seven days were just a matter of adapting some of the previous dishes she could master to Abel's recipes. Some changes have been made, and if you really want to study it in depth, I'm afraid you won't be able to truly master Abel's recipes without at least three years.
"Steamed eggs, boiled fish, sweet and sour pork loin, spareribs soup with salad, Bartoli, your skills are getting better and better!" Abel smelled the aroma filling his nose, especially the 'rabbit spirit' far away It's much better than the 'chicken essence' or stock in the previous life, so the actual imitation dishes taste even better than the original ones.
"Master, you are wrong. It's not that I am a high-level person. These are made according to your recipe. I just cooked them according to your instructions!" Bartoli could see that Abel was very happy. , couldn’t help but said with a smile on his face.
"I'm happy today, let's sit down and eat together!" Abel said to Bartoli.
In the Holy Continent, a normal master rarely dines with the butler, but sometimes he will invite the butler to dine with him as a reward. Bartoli thought that this was Abel's invitation to her to dine with her as a reward for her work.
In fact, Abel was thinking about the habit of Chinese food at this time. Doesn’t Chinese food taste good when everyone sits together and eats it
Just when Abel was about to start, someone knocked on the door of the courtyard. He couldn't help but be startled. He had no friends here. If someone from the Blacksmith Guild or the Wizards Guild was looking for him, he could just use his ID card to contact him. I won't bother him by coming here.
"Master, shall I open the door?" Bartoli glanced at Abel with a questioning expression.
"Go and see who it is!" Abel nodded. He was also curious about who in this city would look for him in this way.
Bartoli opened the door, and there was a haggard old man standing at the door. The double staff badge on his chest showed that he was an intermediate wizard. When he found that the person who opened the door for him was also an intermediate wizard, he got busy. A wizard's ritual.
