Chapter 283 Baofen adapts measures to local conditions
The sour taste of the Star Peach Fruit was very appetizing. After vomiting, the elves felt a little empty and a little tired. The elves were visibly hungry again.
It happened to be afternoon tea time now, so Zhou You took out some refreshments he had brought before, but unexpectedly learned an unexpected news from Eden - they were a little tired of eating energy cubes.
"Are you tired of eating it so quickly? I thought you would prefer food specifically for elves."
Moreover, Zhou You only brought the energy cubes and a small amount of ingredients that he had made in the research institute when he went out this time. Even if the elves were tired of eating, it would be difficult to make normal food.
Even Zhou You plans to eat energy cubes for the next few days to deal with it.
"It's not that I'm tired of eating, how can I put it..." Eden also understood that the current conditions were not the time to be willful, so it was rare that he hesitated to speak.
"Buyi!"
In fact, the elves including Ye Yibu generally believed that the food made by Zhou You was more delicious than the energy cubes.
Isn't this a matter of course? Energy cubes are nothing but the product of compressed tree fruits. Eating this is essentially the same as eating tree fruits directly. It is basically equivalent to freeze-drying tree fruits.
Human food often contains salt (the key) and various seasonings. The emphasis is on color, flavor, and nutrition, but the nutritional aspects come second.
Both humans and elves naturally prefer to eat delicious food.
Of course, Leftover doesn't care about this. It will eat everything as long as it is satisfied.
Although Arthur is not a big fan of food, he also prefers food made by Yuyou himself.
Eden felt that the food made by the machine seemed to be missing something, maybe it was the soul.
"I don't have the habit of using souls as condiments in cooking. Why don't you just say that eating energy cubes won't satisfy your craving?"
Looking at the elves who showed little interest in the energy cubes, Zhou You began to think about whether he could make something with the portable cooking tools and remaining seasonings contained in his space backpack during the camping trip.
It doesn't matter to him that he is an adult and can just deal with it for a few days. The energy cubes are actually quite delicious, but the elves are still young (except for the black and white dragons), so there is nothing wrong with wanting to eat something good.
But what can you do with almost no materials?
"Speaking of which, do you simply find the energy cubes unsatisfactory, or do you not even want to eat the fruit?" Zhou You suddenly felt inspired and rummaged through his backpack.
"It's okay if you don't just eat the same thing all the time." Eden replied on behalf of the elves, "It would be better if there were some cooked food or snacks."
Delicatessen or snacks...
Looking at the ingredients in the backpack, Zhou You remembered a popular pastry in the Sinnoh region called Baofen.
Mix tree fruits and other ingredients into a paste of flour, oil, eggs, and milk, mix thoroughly, and then bake it in the oven. It is simple and quick. You can mix whatever flavor you like. It is just right for afternoon tea. Enjoy.
The battery of the portable oven is still full, and the amount of tree fruits is sufficient, but the problem is that the materials are not complete, and Zhouyou does not have the last two most important ingredients.
So I had no money to buy and was too lazy to go to the elf center to get the ingredients... No, so Zhou Yu, who needed to process tree fruits and other ingredients, soften and whip butter at the camp, posed the question to the elves: "Is there anything nearby that can replace eggs or milk? Material?"
"How about going to the Elf Center to get the Fairy Milk? We don't want to eat the remaining Star Peach Fruit anyway, so why not give it to simulate the ingredients." Eden quickly came up with an alternative plan.
Zhou You made an "I choose you" gesture with his hands: "What a good idea. I'm going to stay in the camp to handle the ingredients. You can transform into a human and go to the Elf Center in Zhanlan City."
"Then I'll go now."
Anyway, it can be done with teleportation.
"Buy?"
When Yeyibu was investigating the water quality, he had seen the kind of bass in the Hezhong area before, and he saw three bees collecting nectar near the flowers under the waterfall.
Wandering around and pondering, Ye Yibu should be referring to the savage bass. This kind of fish is highly aggressive. There are few other weak elves in the waters where it lives. And because of its delicious taste, it has become a fish that eats roaring bulls, stone birds, and other more. Food for strong elves.
According to the illustrated guide, the meat with blue stripes has a light taste and is easy to eat, while the meat with red stripes has a high fat content and is suitable for young people to eat...
But the fish meat is too fishy to be used for making pasta. Let’s think about it later.
"But maybe we can try to negotiate with the three bees."
Zhou You muttered: "Autumn is here now, and winter will come in three months. When we stabilize, we can build greenhouses to invite them to spend the winter. It is very common for human farms to plant fruit trees and flowers to provide them with pollen in exchange for honey."
And if you want to cross-breed, artificial pollination (by elves) is a very critical step. He originally planned to train some insect-type elves in silver and gold to help them, or go to the Viridian Forest to find some big butterflies. Now there are some nearby The off-the-shelf Three Bees couldn’t be any better.
After hearing about the travel plans, Zhanfan unexpectedly volunteered and wanted to negotiate with the queen bee of the three bee swarm - it was obvious that she was eyeing other people's honey.
Just in case, Zhou You asked Ye Yibu to accompany the leftovers to try, and told them not to fight under any circumstances. Even if the negotiations broke down, they could wait for another day.
After the three elves set off, Zhou You and Arthur who stayed behind dealt with the tree fruits taken out of the box.
Different tree fruits naturally have different processing methods.
For example, Eden prefers the garnet fruit. The pulp of this pomegranate-like tree fruit is sweet and salty in the mouth. After being fully chewed, the strong bitter taste will spread in the mouth. Therefore, when cutting the knife, avoid using too much force to cut it. The well-defined pulp destroys the taste, and it is also necessary to prevent the granular pulp inside from splashing everywhere.
Another example is the Qimi fruit that Ye Yibu likes. It has a very astringent taste, but if eaten together with other foods, it will make the food appear sweet. Therefore, be careful to clean the tools after handling and never mix its ingredients. Other ingredients.
…
After sorting different fruits and vegetables into categories, Zhou You obtained a large number of seeds, fruit cores and pulp that could be used for cultivation.
Part of it was chopped up by him and stored separately according to the elves' preferred tastes. The other part for medicinal purposes and other purposes was placed on a tray and given to Paaser to be slowly dried with tail flames.
Then he started the formal cooking.
First, pour the sugar into the softened butter and beat it with a whisk, then add the leftover rice, honey and kettle (tree juice) brought back by Ye Yibu into it.
After serving separately, add chopped tree fruits with different flavors, then pour in low-gluten flour and baking powder, and let Eden stir evenly through super powers. During the process, add fresh cream from Fairy Milk.
Finally, pour the evenly stirred liquid into the mold, garnish it with Arthur's dried tree fruit, and place it in a portable oven to bake for 20 minutes.
In this way, refreshments that suit everyone's taste can be easily completed by traveling around.
"Qiaoqiao, don't you do almost nothing except processing tree fruits, beating butter, and pouring various ingredients into it?"
