Chapter 426 - 426 Recipe
Because basic ingredients could be purchased using Magic Stone, Bartoli bought a lot of basic ingredients. She knew that there was no need to save up the magic stone for ingredients since she knew Abel had a lot of them–although she didn’t know that Abel could fuse intermediate magic stone and advanced magic stone with the Horadric Cube.
Just the magic stone’s attracted by Johnson was enough to fill up a portal bag. There were also hundreds of intermediate magic stones that Abel gave to her, so except for cases for high-end food materials, surviving in Liante City was not a problem. They can just go out of the city and buy whatever they needed. Abel had a lot of portal bags. He just needed to bring a few more.
She also had the 1000 points that she just got from Abel, But she also saw how Abel’s looked at the super redemption items. The points should still be used where they were most needed.
Abel watched Bartoli trying to make a meal today, and from her operation, Abel knew that she had learned cooking for a while, although this was rare among the nobles, maybe some nobles like the feeling when they cook.
In Abel ‘s opinion, the cooking level of this era was still very primitive, and it was different from the cooking techniques of his original world. In the past, he had no time and lazy hands, but now he had Bartoli, was it possible to write some cooking techniques for her?
Abel liked to enjoy himself. He missed the taste of the world before, but he had no time to study cooking. Of course, if the skill tree of the Horadric cube could let him use cooking into skills, he can still think about it.
Now that Bartoli showed an interest, Abel decided to help her.
Although Abel wasn’t that good at cooking–it can only be said to be at a beginner level–as his mental strength became higher, his memories of the previous world became clearer.
He took out the quill pen, a stack of parchment paper, and kept recalling and writing on the parchment paper.
From the most basic fried, deep-fried, cooked, pasted, roasted, stewed, steamed, radon, the basics were written down one by one. Each of them had well-known cooking dishes to help Bartoli.
Abel wrote these cooking techniques very quickly, sorted it out from memory, and transcribed it directly on parchment paper. Although there was a lot of content, it did not take much time.
After writing everything, he discovered one of the most important things, that was, the lack of flavoring agents in this world. Although the most important main flavoring agent “rabbit essence” already exists, But to change the taste, other auxiliary flavoring agents were needed.
He glanced at the Kong Kong spiritual beast portal bag. When he left the elven clan, he took a large amount of various medicinal materials. He selected some peculiarly tasted materials with ordinary prices–medicinal materials that could replace seasoning materials such as onion, ginger, chili, garlic, etc.
At this time, Abel did everything to satisfy his appetite and did not realize his dietary theory and the Holy Continent’s were another completely different concepts. He simply wrote a book on dining, but the dietary changes to the Holy Continent far exceeded his changes as a blacksmith master.
“Bartoli, come here!” Abel halted Bartoli, who was still experimenting with how to add “rabbit essence” to the food.
“Master!” Bartoli stopped everything and walked to Abel to bow and salute.
“This is a book I wrote on making food. You can experiment with what I wrote above to see if it’s possible to do!”Abel gave Bartoli the parchment book he had just written.
“Master, can you actually write a book about cooking?”
Bartoli’s surprise was understandable. She knew that Abel was a noble, but not all nobles would learn to cook like her, especially male nobles. It was basically impossible for them to cook. Although she knew that Abel was very good at barbequing, she thought they were just survival skills during expeditions, not cooking.
“I’m waiting for you to make the food in my book so that I can eat delicious food!” Abel took out a few small bags with a smile and then said: ” These are spices that accompany this book. Take them together and study them! ”
“Yes, master!” Bartoli took the book to study on her own.
Of course, there was nothing special about the dinner, just the soup, and mashed potatoes with ‘rabbit essence.’ It was good to eat, just a bit monotonous.
After having dinner, Bartoli found Abel again.
“Master, I have studied the recipes you have prepared. I don’t have many ingredients in Liante. Can I go out and buy them?” Bartoli took this matter very seriously because this was the true butler task that Abel gave to her for the first time, she was going to leave Liant City to buy ingredients to report to Abel.
“No, go to the Blacksmith Guild, use the contact circle there to contact Bernie of the Goff family, and let him send some ingredients through the Blacksmith Guild Teleportation Circle regularly!” Bernie won’t care about this.” Abel couldn’t let Bartoli go outside the city every day.
After seven days passed, Abel’s lifestyle was very stable. Sometimes during the day he went to the blacksmith’s guild to read the materials, sometimes he practiced the knight ‘charge’ in the yard, at night he entered the dark world to sweep the prison, and Bartoli was like crazy. Using the kitchen on the side of the courtyard as a wizard’s research room.
In the past two days, Abel has been able to eat dishes made by Bartoli that were very similar to Chinese food. Due to the different materials and condiments, there was still some difference in the taste, but these dishes still made him very satisfied.
At noon on that day, Bartoli set up a table of good dishes early. They were the results of her seven days of research. Of course, according to her ideas, these seven days were just some of the previous dishes she could master. If she really wants to study in-depth, she didn’t think she could master Abel’s book without at least three years.
“Steamed eggs, boiled fish, sweet and sour tenderloin, pork rib soup with salad, Bartoli, your cooking is getting more and more delicious” Abel smelled the ‘rabbit essence’ It was much better than the previous ‘chicken essence’ or broth, so the imitation dishes actually made were better than the original taste.
“Master, you’re wrong. It’s not that I’m getting better at cooking, but that your recipes are good. I just cook them according to what you recorded!” Bartoli can see that Abel was very happy, and couldn’t help but smile.
“That’s still good. Let’s sit down and eat together!” Abel said to Bartoli.
In the Holy Continent, the normal host rarely ate with the housekeeper, but sometimes invited the housekeeper to eat together as a reward. Bartoli thought that it was Abel who invited her to eat together to reward her work.
In fact, Abel was thinking about the habit of Chinese food at this time. Traditionally, Chinese food was meant to be eaten together.
Just as Abel was about to start eating, the gate of the courtyard was flapped. He couldn’t help but hesitate. He had no friends here. If someone from the Blacksmith ‘s Guild or the Wizard ‘s Guild found him, just use the ID card to contact him. They won’t come to his house to bother him.
“Master, shall I open the door?” Bartoli glanced at Abel, revealing an inquiring look.
“Go, see who it was!” Abel nodded. He was also curious who would find him in this way in this city.
Bartoli opened the door, and a haggard old man stood in front of 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 quickly bowed to the wizard.
