One man and one dog, wandering in the world of Monster Hunter

Chapter 27 Mushroom and snail soup, braised mushrooms, and baked ham

Around the bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves rustled, as if accompanying Link. While the ham was fermenting, he began to process the Ganlin snails.

Link's eyes were focused and his movements were skillful and graceful. He first cleaned the snail and then used a knife to gently take out the meat inside. The meat was snow-white and delicate, like white jade, making people salivate.

Remove the back half of the internal organs and slice the meat. Link pours a bottle of recovery medicine into the pot, adds an appropriate amount of water, and then puts the snail meat into the pot to stew.

That’s right, recovery medicine can not only be used to heal wounds, but can even be used in cooking. It is a recovery medicine made from herbs and blue mushrooms. It tastes pretty good and has a medicinal aroma.

The recovery potion G with honey added tastes just like a potion made from Isatis root granules.

Some hunters even use it as a drink when they are thirsty, taking out the bottle and taking a sip from time to time.

As the heat rose, a faint fragrance filled the bamboo house. Link closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and enjoyed the pleasure brought by the fragrance.

"This smells so good, meow."

Mi Lu, who was helping at the side, said in surprise that as a cat who had just left Pokai Village, she had never seen anyone use recovery potions to cook.

The aroma of the boiled recovery medicine is rich but not irritating. It makes your body and mind feel relaxed, just like taking a sauna.

"Haha, next time I have a chance, I'll take you to Jieyun Village. Sometimes some medicinal herbs are added to the hot springs there. Soaking in it is almost like cooking. The difference between medicinal food and medicinal baths is just like the recovery medicine you apply externally or internally. There is not much difference between the two."

Link chuckled and explained to Milu, his hands moving non-stop as he separated the washed specialty mushrooms one by one.

There is no need to cut the mushrooms, which are as thick as your little finger. Just put them directly into the pot and stew them with the snail meat.

During the stewing process, Link tasted the soup from time to time and added seasonings in moderation according to the changes in taste.

Medicinal food is not like cooking. There is no need to add heavy-flavored seasonings. What you eat is the light taste and freshness of the food itself.

Today's luck was bad. Marubird laid a golden egg. The taste of the golden egg was no different from that of an ordinary egg, but the price the guild paid for it was higher than that of an ordinary egg, so Link just left it in the camp and would take it back to sell when he got home.

Marutori Golden Egg: Escaped.

Rich businessmen in big cities like to eat golden eggs, saying that they can bring wealth.

Marutori Golden Egg: Send.

Cut the blue mushrooms into thick slices and stir-fry with the raccoon oil boiled yesterday. More oil is needed to make it taste better. Add freshly picked green and red peppers during the stir-frying. More green peppers are also needed to make it taste better.

As usual, it was Milu who picked the peppers. Of course, as a laborer, Milu also picked a handful of Polygonum multiflorum as a reward.

After Link had sucked all the yeast out of the yeast rabbit, he released it. This creature is not as rare as mollusks like the sweet rain snail, so it is relatively precious. In addition, the yeast on its body can only be produced in the wild, so it escaped the disaster.

The main reason is that there is too little meat. Compared to this little rabbit, Link prefers the White Rabbit Beast because that one has more meat.

After a while, the double pepper and blue mushroom slices were the first to come out of the pot. He took out the mushroom slices and placed them on an exquisite bamboo plate. Thanks to the lush forest, the tableware for eating did not need to be washed. He just took a small knife and turned it in a circle, and one bamboo could make enough tableware for ten days.

Soon, the soup was cooked to perfection and ready to be served. He poured the snail meat and mushroom soup into a large bamboo bowl and placed it on the bamboo table in the camp together with the double pepper mushroom slices.

"It smells so good, did I come at the right time?"

Phyllis came over following the scent, still dressed the same as yesterday. The first words she said left Link at a loss for words.

"Yes, you came at the right time."

After thinking about it, Link continued with one of Xiao Li's classic lines, but he didn't dare to reach out and hug Phyllis, as their friendship had not reached that level yet.

Although he couldn't take advantage, he was a guest, and the afternoon plan still required Phyllis's cooperation, so he stood in front of the bamboo table in the camp, holding a bamboo spoon, gently stirring the mushroom soup in the bowl, scooped a full bowl of mushroom soup and handed it to Phyllis, ready to talk while eating.

"Here, try this."

Taking the mushroom soup handed to her, Phyllis' eyes lit up under her veil. She tasted it carefully, and the deliciousness of the mushroom soup immediately burst out in her mouth. She couldn't help but close her eyes and enjoy the wonderful taste.

"It tastes so fresh, it must be the local mushroom. And the meat is so smooth and tender. I have never eaten it before. What kind of meat is this?"

After taking a sip of the snail meat and mushroom soup with a strong herbal aroma, Phyllis opened her eyes and asked in surprise. Although she was knowledgeable, she didn't ask why the soup had the taste of herbs.

Link smiled and explained.

"I happened to encounter the Sweet Rain Snail while tracking the Blue Bear Beast today. This is snail meat."

Phyllis showed a look of surprise on her face. As a hunter, she had eaten almost everything, but Link was the first one she had encountered who ate environmental creatures like the Sweet Rain Snail.

Yeast rabbits don't count. Hunters treat them as catalysts for recovery medicine. They just pluck a few handfuls of their hair and run away. There are countless yeast rabbits that have been plucked bald by hunters.

She then took a few bites, then put the bowl down and looked at Link and asked.

"Has the Blue Bear Beast not yet succeeded in its hunt?"

Seeing Phyllis asking, Link did not hide anything and invited Phyllis to sit down. He slowly told her about today's tracking of Blue Bearmon and mentioned in passing the method of making Blue Bearmon and Kappa Frog both suffer losses.

Phyllis was sitting opposite him. When she heard that Link and his crew went deep into the mountains and encountered the Umbrella Bird and the Sao Bird, even Phyllis was surprised.

She had never seen a blue bear beast that could endure such a setback. Not only did it endure the setback, but it also managed to save its life every time.

I don’t know whether to say it is lucky or unlucky.

The two chatted, drank mushroom soup, and discussed their afternoon plans. Link even took the time to bring the fermented ham back from the cave.

The outer skin of the fermented ham was an attractive golden color, making the beautiful Phyllis drool.

It has to be said that Link is the most gluttonous hunter Phyllis has ever seen. He can always come up with new tricks for her.

There are many ways to eat cured ham. Some people like to cut it into thin slices and eat it raw with sauce, while others like to stew it with radishes.

But these two ways of eating are too polite for hunters. Hunters eat big chunks of meat and drink soup in big gulps.

Link took a knife and cut the ham into large pieces. The sharp hunter's knife split the hard bones and divided the ham into four pieces.

Then he took out the portable barbecue grill that hunters must have, skewered the four hams into two skewers, and grilled them directly on the charcoal fire. This forest may lack everything except firewood.

As the ham is roasted over charcoal fire, it gradually gives off an enticing aroma, and the golden fat drips into the charcoal fire, making a sizzling sound.

Phyllis sat nearby, watching Link's every move intently.

"This fermented ham doesn't need to be baked for too long. It tastes best when it's medium to medium rare."

While turning the ham, Link used a knife to cut the roasted pieces of meat from the perfectly roasted ham and handed them to Phyllis.

Phyllis took the ham and took a bite. The rich meaty aroma and crispy texture made her smile.

Compared with the cheese barbecue in her hometown, this ham has its own flavor.

To be precise, Link's ham is better than the one in her hometown, but people always beautify their hometown and always feel that the food in their hometown is more delicious.

While roasting the ham, Link did not forget Milu and Matsutake, the cat and the dog. Milu got a piece of ham, and Matsutake got four big bones, which made the two of them look at Link with resentment.

"Brother, this is what you call a feast, but it's not as good as yesterday's."

Finally, Link threw a ball of bird butt to it and it calmed down.

After lunch, Link began to prepare the props needed for the afternoon hunt, among which the most important one was the royal honey.

This kind of honey is of higher quality than ordinary honey and has unparalleled attraction to the Blue Bear Beast. Once it smells it, it will chase the hunter to the ends of the earth.

In the afternoon, Link and Phyllis will split up, and Link will go to look for the Kappa Frog. After finding it, he will use a flare to notify Phyllis and ask her to guide the Blue Bear Beast to come.

When the two come into contact, Phyllis will pour the royal honey on the Kappa Frog, and then the Blue Bearmon and the Kappa Frog will inevitably fight.

Link and Phyllis would block their retreat routes while they were fighting, and set traps on their possible escape routes.

Of course, the traps and royal honey were all provided by Link. Phyllis, a dual-blade melee hunter, was a reckless person and never used these tactics.

As compensation for providing the props, Phyllis agreed to let him peel some materials from the Kappa Frog as reward.

After discussing the plan and allocation of resources, the group set off.
