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

The first thing served was the Marutori hot spring egg. The Marutori egg, which was as big as a watermelon, was evenly cut in half, revealing the jade-like egg white and golden egg liquid.

The temperature of the hot spring is just right, making the egg yolk perfectly runny.

Link gently scooped a spoonful of golden and sticky egg liquid.

He took a bite, and the fragrant egg liquid melted in his mouth. The taste of the egg liquid itself and the sweetness added by the hot spring intertwined in his mouth, making him intoxicated.

In addition to bird eggs, the hotel also thoughtfully gave away a dish of honey and a dish of soy sauce.

The soy sauce is made from soybeans grown in Jieyun Village and yeast from yeast rabbits. Although Jieyun Village is a mountain village, there are even terraced fields that they have reclaimed.

The fields are planted with some common medicinal herbs and plant materials used by hunters.

These plants will attract small insects such as bees, light bugs, and bitter bugs.

Many children and cats in the village would take insect nets to the fields to catch these ownerless insects.

It's one of their little games.

If someone is lucky enough to catch a golden rhinoceros beetle, he will definitely become the leader of the children.

Link took a bite of the egg yolk and scooped another spoonful. This time he didn't rush to put it into his mouth, but dipped it in a little honey.

Honey is also produced in the village. Some hunters will bring back beehives from the wild. These beehives contain some native bee larvae and some living worker bees. Under the care of the villagers, they will transition from wild bees to domestic bees. The honey they produce will then bring some tax revenue to the village.

Just like the meal that Link is paying for right now.

The honey is freshly taken from the beehive, and the main focus is on freshness.

The soft-shelled egg was dipped in honey, and the egg white was dipped in soy sauce. One bite after another, the round bird egg was quickly eaten by the three of them.

"Well, the Maru Bird eggs here are really good. Just pairing them with soy sauce and honey makes the taste of the food more than one level higher. It's amazing."

Huoya gently chewed the last bite of the egg white of the wild bird egg. The delicate taste and the fresh aroma of soy sauce intertwined on her tongue, making her unable to help but cover her little face and let out a sigh of satisfaction.

"Yeah, indeed."

Shui Yun nodded slightly, and her eyes revealed her agreement with Huo Ya's evaluation.

The deliciousness of the bird eggs really exceeded her expectations. The simple seasoning was able to bring out the most essential flavor of the food, making it unforgettable.

"Ah."

The two sisters had said everything that needed to be said, so Link naturally had nothing more to say.

The next dish served was charcoal-grilled wild boar legs. As mentioned before, the charcoal used to grill the wild boar legs was smoked from knotwood. This hard wood has a wide range of uses. In addition to making various furniture and buildings, it is also the forging material for many weapons.

For example, the handle and scabbard of the famous sword [Yuyun no Tachi] in Yuyun Village are made of Yuyun wood.

It has a hard texture and its own wood grain makes it a natural non-slip material. Many novice weapon forgings cannot do without it.

In addition to hot springs, honey, and farmland, the Jieyun wood produced by the Jieyun Wood Farm is also one of the sources of income for Jieyun Village.

Their wood industry, like the iron wrought iron industry in Yanhuo Village, is a local specialty industry.

The tempting aroma of the charcoal-grilled wild boar leg is perfectly combined with the tender and juicy meat.

Link, Huoya and Shuiyun couldn't help but swallow their saliva when they saw this delicacy.

The skin of the roast meat was slightly crispy, while the meat inside remained juicy and tender.

The three of them wasted no time and quickly fed the heavy portion of pork leg into their stomachs.

The leg bones were not wasted and were fed to Matsutake by Link.

The hound's teeth were excellent, and its bite force was incredible. It chewed the hard boar leg bone with just two crunches, and swallowed it like a potato chip.

Next was Shui Yun’s fish bite soup.

The soup is clear, and the liver of the bitten fish is sliced thinly and gently stretches out in the soup, as if dancing.

Unlike the thick soup that Link had made before, which was made with fish belly and fish roe, the inn's chef used fish liver to make the soup.

The liver of this big fish has a similar taste to the sandfish liver that Link had eaten before, but the soup made from sandfish liver tastes better than the roasted sandfish liver.

After thorough stewing, the deliciousness of the fish liver was completely extracted, and the taste of the soup made Huoya Shuiyun couldn't help but moan.

Obviously, in the competition of chef skills, the chef from Jieyun Village is much better than the uncle who set up the stall.

Obviously, the liver of sand fish is more valuable, but it loses to that of snapper in terms of taste.

The last dish served was the mushroom platter.

However, when they saw the mushrooms being served, they all fell silent.

"Hey, this mushroom, is it raw?"

Link asked uncertainly to the Felyne who was serving the food.

"That's right, meow. The chef said that mushrooms are the most delicious in this season. You can only enjoy the most delicious taste if you eat them raw, meow."

The tabby cat who was serving the food licked his paw, nodded, and then left.

Only Link and the other two were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"How about...try it."

Looking at the colorful mushroom platter, Link asked tentatively.

"Snapped!"

Shui Yun patted Link's head lightly, then picked up a dark purple mushroom from the plate.

"You are stupid. You didn't even recognize the Heartbeat Mushroom. This one won't kill you if you eat it raw, but it will make you bedridden for three days. And this one, this one, and this one, the Nitroparasol Mushroom, the Fatigue Mushroom, and the Paralysis Mushroom. These are all mushrooms that have side effects if you eat them."

Shui Yun said this and picked out a few red and green mushrooms from the plate. These were mushrooms that were not edible.

"Forehead."

Seeing Shui Yun's serious expression, Link didn't dare tell her that he had secretly tasted the mushrooms on the table when he was alone in the wild.

The taste is exactly as the chef said, the texture and taste are good.

You just have to drink the antidote afterwards.

"Excuse me, meow. This is the antidote that was delivered, meow. I almost forgot about it."

At this time, the tabby cat who had just left came over again and gave the three people three cups of antidote.

"..."

"As expected, the chef is a professional and even served the antidote as a drink."

Link stroked his forehead, lowered his head, and wanted to laugh.

Sometimes foodies always think the same way.

However, due to Huoya's insistence, none of the three people ate the mushroom platter in the end, but they did not return it either. The antidote and mushrooms were packed up and put away by Link. Even if they were not food, these two things were the basic materials for mixing some props.

After the meal, Link felt refreshed and went to the hotel front desk to check in.

During a friendly exchange with the receptionist, he received a set of blue men's yukata prepared specially for him.

The fabric of the yukata is soft and comfortable, and a lifelike blue bear pattern is cleverly painted on the back.

In addition, I paid the money, and my wallet shrank visibly.

The room fee for three people for three days is 3000 in total. The room rate here is calculated per person, with an average of 333 per day per person. In a world where the price of meat is 100 yuan for 20 kilograms, this price is not cheap.

This does not include food expenses.

The cost of a trip is almost the reward for hunting a blue bear.

"Sure enough, the more people there are, the more money you spend."

Link sighed.

Fortunately, follower cats and fang hounds are not counted in the price, because cats eat less, fang hounds are considered pets and sleep in the same room with the hunter. Plus a hunter can bring up to two followers to stay, so the price is still affordable.

The premise is not to come during the peak season, when prices double.
