Chapter 137 It’s almost time to change the map
A day passed quietly as Link was running around. After rushing back to Lockrak, Link once again stepped into the threshold of the Kongying Tavern with the food he brought with him.
"Boss, give me an apple gold bar!"
"Boss, give me a grilled fish with mint sauce!"
"Boss, give me a serving of Eight Treasures Duck!"
"boss......"
The museum is brightly lit, reflecting a warm and lively atmosphere, and is filled with laughter as always.
Link did not disturb the busy boss. He walked straight through the crowd towards the kitchen, carrying the bird breast and liver in his hands.
"Miss Ying, I brought some bird breasts and livers. Could you please help me deal with them?"
Link's voice was steady and polite as he gently placed the ingredients in his hands on the counter in the back kitchen.
Since he came to Locklak, he rarely cooked by himself. Ying's cooking skills were much better than his. As long as he paid a tiny amount of money, this beautiful little cook would prepare delicious food for him.
He is an extremely useful tool.
"Okay, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Ying picked up the scratched bird meat on the table and looked at it. Her bright eyes flashed with thought under the light as she pondered over how to prepare it to suit the customers' tastes.
Miss Ying is as beautiful as ever today. There is a faint blush on her cheeks, as gentle as the sunset. Her eyebrows are curved and the corners of her eyes are slightly raised. She is extremely cute when she smiles.
Link couldn't help but speak after seeing this.
Looking at Miss Ying's serious look, Link couldn't help but speak.
"vanilla."
"Ah? What?" Miss Ying raised her head and looked at Link with some confusion, as if she didn't hear clearly what he had just said.
"I say, let's make a crispy herb-crusted bird breast."
Link stared into Miss Ying's golden eyes and spoke calmly and firmly.
Miss Ying smiled slightly and nodded.
"Oh, okay, what about the liver?"
“Pan-fried.”
Link answered simply.
"Okay, then go sit in the hall for a while, it will be ready soon."
Miss Ying waved the spatula in her hand and drove Link out of the kitchen as if she was chasing a child.
Link smiled and turned to walk down the hall.
He sat down at a familiar table and looked around at the lively scene in the pub. He could hear the customers chatting and laughing and the sound of wine glasses clinking.
Link leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, with Chuchu and Matsutake beside him.
The two guys had been sitting in the hall waiting.
In the kitchen, Ying started her cooking.
The first thing she tackled was the scratched bird breast.
After washing the saury breast, tap it lightly with the back of a knife to make the meat softer.
Then, she spread the carefully prepared vanilla seasoning evenly on the meat, meticulously covering every inch of skin.
This kind of marinating can make the breast meat more flavorful and emit an attractive aroma.
While waiting for the marinade to take effect, Ying turned to the pan-fried bird liver.
She sliced the liver and marinated it with cooking wine and just the right amount of seasoning to remove its own fishy smell and enhance the flavor.
Then she poured a proper amount of oil into the frying pan, and when the oil was hot, she carefully placed the liver into the pan.
Fry until both sides are golden brown, the liver slices are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the aroma is fragrant.
Meanwhile, Miss Ying returned to cooking the saury breast.
She preheated the oven, placed the marinated breast meat on a baking tray, used high temperature to quickly lock in the gravy, then switched to low temperature and slow-roasted it, allowing the aroma of the herbs to blend perfectly with the gravy and the skin to gradually become crispy.
For a moment, the kitchen was filled with the sounds of spatulas colliding, ingredients hissing, and the slight sizzling sound coming from the oven, making it seem extremely lively.
Soon, two dishes were ready and served to the table in front of Link.
The scratched bird breast is baked in the oven at high temperature, and the skin becomes golden and crispy, while the meat inside remains tender and juicy. The aroma of vanilla blends perfectly with the gravy, exuding a mouth-watering fragrance.
At the same time, the scratched bird liver is fried to perfection, with a slightly crispy outer layer while the inside retains the softness and delicacy of the liver. Each slice of liver is coated with a light aroma, stimulating people's taste buds.
Link nodded, picked up the knife and fork, cut the brisket and liver in front of him into thirds, and shared them with Chuchu and Matsutake.
Each piece was cut to the perfect size and evenly proportioned.
Chuchu stared at the plate curiously, his little eyes sparkling in the light and his tail wagging gently, showing his anticipation for the food.
Link placed a piece of cut brisket on the plate in front of Chuchu.
"Eat."
"Thank you, meow."
After saying thank you, Chuchu carefully used her claws to move the piece of meat to her mouth, and then took a light bite with her sharp teeth.
As the delicious food entered her mouth, her eyes immediately widened, she puffed up her cheeks and chewed quickly, her tail wagging even more happily.
Matsutake is even more impatient.
When Link placed a piece of liver in its food bowl, the dog immediately buried its head in it, easily breaking the crispy outer layer of the liver with its powerful teeth, and then swallowing the soft inside.
Looking at this outrageous way of eating, Link couldn't help but smile.
He also picked up a piece of breast meat and put it into his mouth.
The aroma of vanilla and gravy burst in his mouth, and he couldn't help but close his eyes and enjoy this wonderful taste experience.
He poked the liver gently with his fork, feeling its crispy outside and tender inside, and every bite made him feel satisfied.
The three people (two beasts and one person) enjoyed the delicious dinner quietly, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became warm and lively.
Link looked at Chuchu and Matsutake from time to time, seeing them eating with relish, and fell into deep thought while looking at the system panel.
[Ding, eat the meat of the scratching bird, Constitution +1, Strength +2, Agility +4]
As the scratching bird meat entered Link's stomach and turned into nutrients for his growth, his journey in Lokrak was almost coming to an end.
In order to hunt different kinds of monsters, he will embark on another journey to other places on this continent.
He has already decided on the goal.
That is to go to the center of this continent, the most prosperous East Dorma.
There is an airship in Lokrak that goes directly to East Dorma, and there are dragon riders accompanying on the way, so Link does not need to worry about safety.
To the west of East Dorma there are three hunting grounds: the swamp, the forest hills, and the old dense forest. To the east are the great desert, the ruins plain, and the volcano.
Compared to Lokrak, located in the southern corner of the continent, there are much more monsters and more types there, and it is a must-go place for Link to grow.
"Come to think of it, Instructor Ni Tai, Brother Dao Ji, and Uncle Dao Geng all seem to be in Rocklark."
Ni Tai is Lin Ke’s mentor, or master’s grandfather.
Dao Ji, an expert in the Flame Village who is responsible for breeding Fanghounds and Felynx, heard that Dondorma had the skills to breed more monsters, so he left the Flame Village with Ni Tai a few years ago.
Dao Geng was originally an apprentice of Dao Wen, the village blacksmith. In order to learn more about weapon manufacturing methods, he went with the two above.
All three currently live in Dondorma and occasionally write letters back to the village.
Of course, the spine and the stem of the blade were addressed to Grandpa and the master, and only Ni Tai would write to Link from time to time to ask if his hunting skills were rusty.
And Link is like this.
