Chapter 725: Food in Padia
The super giant hairy crab claws are indeed delicious enough, even if they are simply boiled or grilled, they can exude the ultimate deliciousness.
However, there are three main problems faced by large-scale food processing:
1. Unpalatable.
2. Difficult to ripen.
3. It is easy for outsiders to grow up inside.
Maybe after cooking for a long time, the outer layer of crab meat is too old to be chewed, but the crab meat inside is still raw.
Because of this, how to heat the meat evenly is the main problem faced by Zhou You and Ah Jin.
"So, you want me to use electric current to cook it?"
Facing the trainer's talk, Zekrom, who was released from the Poké Ball for such a trivial matter, had extremely complicated eyes: "I'm not an electric oven."
Zhou You shrugged and said, "There is no way. Although Eden, Arthur and Shengfan all master electric-type moves, it would be a bit difficult for them to continuously release electric-type energy."
Only the legendary dragon who is proficient in superpowers and masters the electric attribute can use his superb electric attribute control to cook the super giant crab claws from the inside out in one go without any practice or experience.
"Even if you praise me so much..."
Zekrom wanted to refuse, but Zhouyou rarely asked it and Reshiram to do things. Since they were awakened, they have basically not helped the trainer much.
"Okay, who made me master the manipulation of electrical energy?"
"Great!"
"Woof!"
A Jin's scalp was numb. He always felt that Qiao Qiao often took out a lot of heavy things inadvertently.
With the help of the legendary elves with electricity attributes, the two's dilemma in food processing was instantly solved.
Eden: I don’t think that’s how the legendary elves are used.
Anyway, all that's left is how to cook cooked crab claws.
Ah Jin detailed how to make crab meat: "Sukiyaki pot, crab sticks, fish balls, steamed rice, soup, salad, bibimbap, sushi..."
"Don't forget that the shell of the crab claw itself can also be used for cooking." Zhou You reminded, "The Padians will extract ingredients from it to make crab sticks."
"Wouldn't it be nice to just make some soup?"
Ah Jin’s habit is to steam the shell and then make soup. After eating the crab meat, he can make rice with the soup. The taste can keep him occupied for three bowls of rice!
Just as the two of them each removed a portion of Zekrom's electric-cooked crab meat and started processing it, Arthur finally cut the tentacles of the land jellyfish into almost translucent slices.
"This is a cold dish." Zhou You handed the vinegar, soy sauce and side dishes to the other party.
Arthur, who was holding the condiments, was thoughtful, seeming to be considering how much chili pepper to put in so that others would not be able to eat it.
"It's not spicy, it's not spicy, it's not spicy, it's not spicy, it's not spicy, it's not spicy, it's not spicy..."
Eden, who was making jam, was secretly praying.
Watching this group of people and elves go about the cooking process naturally, Motorized Lizard found it difficult to adapt for a while.
After all, its job is only to transport humans from one station to another, and those passengers can only prepare some temporary sandwiches in the wild.
Many people have tried to feed it as a mount, but due to its responsibilities, the motorcycle lizard can only eat the feed provided by the administrator during its working period.
Although it usually refuses to feed guests without any psychological burden, this time...
The Motorized Lizard looked at the Wind Speed Dog who was sitting upright not far away, and was vaguely aware of the outstanding skills of this group of people.
I’m so greedy, but I can’t eat blindly at work!
In the end, Zhou You and his party finished a large table full of crab feast.
"Thank you for your hard work. I prepared sandwiches for you."
Taking over the meal with different seasonings, fruits, vegetables, and crab meat from the trainer, Zekrom couldn't help but sigh, his trainer was really not in shape.
However, they have not eaten much since ancient times, and they have never been exposed to other things after turning into dragon stones and repeatedly waking up, fighting and sleeping.
It is also a rare thing to be able to live an ordinary life today while slowly looking forward to the development of the world in the future.
However, the Motorized Lizard shook its head firmly and refused to be fed at work.
"Oh, it's okay to eat some secretly." Ajin hugged the Motorized Lizard's neck in a familiar manner, "If the administrator doesn't see it, it means you haven't eaten it, and there's no way we can harm you."
The working lizard was particularly embarrassed when he saw this, so he cut off his tail on the spot to escape.
"If you don't want to eat it, don't eat it. Let's keep it for now until we get to the next lizard station."
Traveling around is not in a hurry. When local tourists want to feed motorcycle lizards or angry parrots, they usually have to be handed over by the administrator after arriving at the station.
The reason why these working elves must eat specific feeds in accordance with regulations is, firstly, to gain sufficient physical strength, and secondly, to avoid dilemmas such as food poisoning.
Once a Biker gets food poisoning in the wild, passengers other than the trainer will almost certainly be at risk.
"Alas, but we are obviously professionals." Ajin boasted regretfully.
But he also knew that the Motorized Lizards didn't have the ability to distinguish between people and faces, so they could only strictly abide by the rules and regulations.
Fortunately, Zhou You now has a space backpack, and the crab meat cooked by Zekrom is also very hygienic. It is not a problem to store it properly for ten days and a half.
So the group of people enjoyed a sumptuous dinner that was rare in the wild.
Fire Fox and Fire Ball Rat, who were venturing out for the first time since their birth, almost buried their entire bodies in the vegetables...
"Hey, I originally thought that the claws of the hairy cliff crab had a salty and mellow taste, but after steaming, it turned out to be strongly sweet and salty?"
Ajin was thoughtful and soon realized the source of the sweetness: "We didn't put butter in the soup, it should be the taste of the plant that the treasure owner hairy cliff crab and land jellyfish fought for."
He still remembered that when he picked up the tentacles, the closer he got to the plant, the stronger the sweetness.
According to his guess, the giant elves in Padiya who were called treasure owners by Qiao Qiao probably often ate this special ingredient - they were all tasted.
"Maybe, but not necessarily. Isn't the cold-mixed land jellyfish not sweet?"
Zhou You said as he picked up a piece of crystal clear jellyfish slices. This ingredient has the chewiness of enoki mushrooms, and the freshness of matsutake, wild mushrooms, and bamboo fungus. Even artificially synthesized MSG can only be ashamed compared to it.
Land jellyfish did not age due to evolution as he imagined - just like the taste of old cattle and sheep is bad.
On the contrary, the evolved land jellyfish is the type that becomes more delicious the more you chew it. Even if you only have a small plate of cold jellyfish, you can easily get through a whole game. It is definitely the most suitable snack to go with wine? Although Zhou You has never eaten cold wild jellyfish, he thinks it should not have the chewiness of the evolved type. Instead, it should be more tender and crispy. What does this taste like... "Oh, it's a more delicious fungus! No wonder wild jellyfish and land jellyfish are called fungus Pokémon."
