Monster Hunter: Farm Story Begins with Pokémon

Chapter 28 Side dishes to accompany wine
  Making side dishes?
  Huo Ya readily agreed to Bai Zhen's request.

She also wanted to try the food from another world.

"Of course it's no problem! I will give you a detailed evaluation."

Bai Zhen came to the kitchen with the materials.

Huo Ya stood by the stove and watched how Bai Zhen made it.

Bai Zhen is going to make two kinds of side dishes, cucumbers and fried peanuts.

One thing worth mentioning is that there are peanuts in Yanhuo Village, but the peanuts in the two worlds are somewhat different.

The peanuts in Monster Hunter World are as big as apples, and peanuts are very rare! It is only possible to find this crop in the sandy plains if you are very lucky.

In addition, according to Huo Ya, the peanuts in Monster Hunter World taste greasy. Few people use peanuts to cook, but some people use peanuts to make rabbit dumplings.

So when Bai Zhen took out peanuts as big as his little finger and said he wanted to fry them, Huo Ya was quite surprised.

Bai Zhen started making side dishes.

The way to make pat cucumber is very simple.

Crush the cucumber and cut into sections.

Then prepare a sauce, add shallots, minced garlic, hot pepper noodles, white sesame seeds, pour some hot oil, then add light soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, white sugar, and a little salt from the stone giant spirit, and a little of sesame oil.

On this basis, Bai Zhen added some blue mushroom powder as a fresh ingredient.

Finally, he found a wooden bowl and mixed the cucumber and sauce thoroughly.

Just like this, a serving of cucumber is ready.

Seeing the various seasonings that Bai Zhen brought out, Huo Ya's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "It turns out that there are vinegar and soy sauce in other worlds."

Bai Zhen was slightly startled when he heard Huo Ya's words. He asked Huo Ya in surprise: "Does Yanhuo Village also have vinegar and soy sauce?"

"Yes, vinegar is made from glutinous rice, and soy sauce is made from soybeans. They are relatively common seasonings in Yanhuo Village."

Bai Zhen was so happy that he quickly asked the price.

Huo Ya replied: "A bottle of vinegar costs 40 gold, and a bottle of soy sauce costs 35 gold. They are both expensive."

"Can you show me the real thing?"

"Of course it's no problem. I have it at home. I'll get it for you."

After saying that, Huo Ya said goodbye to Bai Zhen for the time being and went straight to his home.

Bai Zhen didn't expect that he could find these two seasonings in Yanhuo Village.

In fact, for seasonings such as light soy sauce and balsamic vinegar, Bai Zhen searched for a long time in Zhiqin Town before buying similar substitutes. If Zhiqin Town didn't have many types of products, Bai Zhen might not have been able to find these. Ingredients.

Yanhuo Village now has these seasonings, which can save him a lot of trouble in purchasing them later.

When Huo Ya went to get vinegar and soy sauce, Bai Zhen also took the time to make fried peanuts.

The method of frying peanuts is even simpler. You just need to fry them in oil and then sprinkle with some refined salt.

By the time Huo Ya came back, the fried peanuts had been made and the excess oil had been drained off.

Bai Zhen got two exquisite dishes.

[Packing Cucumber (Rarity 2)——Intermediate cuisine. The appetizers are made using simple ingredients. The spicy and sour taste combined with the freshness of blue mushrooms makes it taste very good.

Cooking effect: Restore 20% of mental power within thirty seconds. Once only, a skill with rarity 2 or lower will undergo a random change. 】

[Fried peanuts (rareness 2) - Intermediate cuisine. Simple ingredients and simple methods make the simplest side dishes. It’s easy to not stop eating this.

Cooking effect: You will not feel hungry within thirty minutes after eating. Only for one time, skill levels of rarity 2 and below and lower than level 5 will be randomly upgraded once. 】

The effects of both dishes were somewhat beyond Bai Zhen's expectations.

I didn't expect that two mediocre side dishes could have such a culinary effect.

Especially shooting cucumbers can cause random changes in skills. For this random change, Bai Zhen checked specifically to see what the change was.

The answer is that the skill may have any beneficial enhancement, such as increasing the level of rarity, changing the level, or even adding different terms to the skill, etc.

Seeing this, Bai Zhen took the vinegar and soy sauce sent by Huo Ya and made two more portions of cucumbers and fried peanuts for himself and Tan Xiaoshi.

After it was done, Bai Zhen asked Huo Ya to try the cucumbers and fried peanuts to see if everyone in Yanhuo Village would like them.

In front of the stove, Huo Ya held chopsticks in her right hand and held it under the chopsticks with her left hand. She picked up a piece of cucumber and put it into her mouth. Huo Ya lightly covered her mouth while chewing.

She tasted it carefully, and then her eyes lit up slightly.

She praised it unabashedly: "The spicy and sour taste is perfectly combined with the refreshing taste of cucumber. I didn't expect it to be so delicious."

No matter how much Huo Ya loves her sister, she has to admit that Bai Zhen's craftsmanship is one of the best in Yanhuo Village.

In addition, she also felt a force flowing in her body. This feeling was like eating rabbit dumplings, which would bring benefits to her body.

"Can I have a taste, Semi?"

On Bai Zhen's head, Xie Mi, who was too afraid to speak, swallowed.

Her intuition told her that this cucumber would be very delicious.

Seeing Xie Mi suddenly speak, Huo Ya was not surprised at all. There were many Elu cats in the village who could speak human language. Seeing a talking Pokémon now was nothing to her.

But she was a little surprised that Xie Mi's way of speaking actually sent his voice directly into her mind.

Huo Ya picked up a piece of cucumber, held it with his left hand and brought it to Xie Mi's mouth, saying, "Of course, please."

Seeing the delicious food, Xie Mi immediately let down her guard and ate the cucumber in one bite.

It seemed that it was because vinegar was added to the cucumber that Xie Mi suddenly shivered after eating it.

I ate too much light cucumbers, but now I ate this heavy-flavored cucumber, and Xie Mi actually found it very delicious.

"Semi likes the taste."

Seeing that Xie Mi liked it, Huo Ya fed Xie Mi herself.

Xie Mi had just taken two bites when small pink flowers suddenly bloomed on her body.

That is the pink flower that Xie Mi will open when he expresses his gratitude.

Bai Zhen was stunned when he saw this.

I made this dish, right? Why didn't I see you blooming such little flowers when I took you in?
  Bai Zhen felt at this moment that he had raised an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

She cooked so many delicious dishes for Xie Mi every day, but Xie Mi didn't even bloom. Now Huo Ya fed her two bites of the dishes he cooked, and she burst into tears of gratitude.

Bai Zhen said to Xie Mi slightly unhappy: "Let's make it clear first that if you are captured for eating other people's food in the future, I will never rescue you."

"Huh?" Xie Mi looked at Bai Zhen who was suddenly angry in confusion.

Has menopause arrived?
  Huo Ya didn't know what Xie Mihuahua meant, but she could still detect that Bai Zhen seemed to be a little jealous.

After noticing Bai Zhen's emotional change, Huo Ya no longer fed Xie Mi with his hands. Instead, he handed his portion of cucumbers to Xie Mi on a plate and let Xie Mi eat it by himself.

Then she tried the fried peanuts made by Baizhen.

This kind of crispy and fragrant fried peanuts tastes very good, completely different from the peanuts in Monster Hunter World.

Bai Zhen introduced: "These two side dishes are very good choices as drinks. Do you think everyone in Yanhuo Village will like them?"

"It turns out that they are served as snacks. If you think about it, these two vegetables will definitely be popular in Yanhuo Village."

Many people in Yanhuo Village like to drink, and even Ellu cats are many cats who like to drink.

With Huo Ya's assurance, Bai Zhen knew that his two vegetables would definitely sell well in the future.
