Soul Map·Dragon's Breath

Xia Qi went straight to sleep through lunch time.After going to the restaurant to accompany his family to have lunch, Orcas went back to his room to read a book. When Xia Qi woke up, he was not in a hurry to ask what design drawings Xia Qi had drawn during his "meditation" for more than a month. Shaggy would always tell him off, wouldn't he?

After sleeping until three o'clock in the afternoon, Xia Qi woke up from hunger.Okas helped him to the bathroom to wash his face sober, and then carried him directly to the restaurant for dinner.Meeting many guards and servants of the palace along the way, Xia Qi blushed like a big apple.Well, if there are no apples here, it will become red dates.

Xia Qi was the only one eating in the restaurant.Orcas sat beside him drinking tea and waiting for him, but Xia Qi hadn't finished eating, and recently Belevin floated in, who was very unemployed, and didn't feel that he was a "lighting crystal" at all-there is no word for light bulbs here Well.

As soon as Bolevin came in, he sat opposite to Xia Qi and said, "Xia Qi, are you awake?"

"Um."

Okas glanced at Brother Wang, "Let him eat first."

Belevin was dissatisfied: "I didn't let Xia Qi eat." Then, he looked at Xia Qi again, "Did you forget the hot pot?"

Xia Qi immediately smiled at Mimi and said, "No, I'll go to the kitchen after dinner."

Bolevin propped his chin with one hand and asked, "Xia Qi, do you have any delicious and nutritious meals that are suitable for cooking in the wild?" The word nutrition is currently popular in the palace.He then added: "We practiced and ate very rough outside. I am the captain of the mercenary team. I have to think about how to make the players eat better." Bo Leiwen said it soundly, but in fact he wanted Kaixin to eat better .

Xia Qi thought for a while and said: "Yes, you all have space bracelets, it is convenient to bring ingredients and cooking utensils, just cook in one pot."

"Cook in one pot?" Bolevin immediately sat upright and listened attentively.

Xia Qi asked, "Can you cook rice?"

"Um."

"Well. Then when you cook rice, you can put dried meat, green beans, etc. in it to cook together. You can put whatever you like. You can also crack two eggs on the rice. After the rice is cooked, other ingredients are also cooked. You can add any ingredients according to your own taste. The meat should be cut into small cubes, not large pieces, otherwise it will not be cooked well.”

Belevin's eyes were shining brightly.

Xia Qi thought for a while and said, "When the pain is gone, I'll do a few, it's easy."

"That would be the best!" Bravin was very happy.

Xia Qi added: "You can also make some dry noodles and take them with you, cook the noodles with the stewed meat soup, add some back vegetables, and crack two eggs." Xia Qi swallowed, wanting to eat.

"But I don't know how to make noodles." Belevin was distressed.

Xia Qi said: "I know the steps for noodles, and I need the help of the chef. The finished noodles are easy to carry after hanging to dry, and can be stored for a long time." After thinking for a while, Xia Qi continued: "Well, anyway, there are There is no shelf life for space containers. However, dried noodles are the most convenient.”

Bravin's eyes became brighter, and he immediately said to Orcas, "Go to school and ask for a month's leave for Xia Qi!"

Orcas' response was to pat Shaggy's head, "Eat quickly."

"Oh." Xia Qi immediately lowered his head to eat, but thought of one thing, he raised his head and said, "Senior Orcas, you may really need to ask for a few more days off for me, one week may not be enough." He blinked.

Okas nodded, "Okay."

Bolevin narrowed his eyes and asked, "Xia Qi, what's the matter with you?"

"Hmm..." Shaggy was still glancing at Orcas.

Okas: "Wait until your body doesn't hurt."

Xia Qi smiled and said, "Yeah!" Then he lowered his head and ate seriously.

Belevin looked at this, then at that, and almost flipped the table, "Hey, what are you two playing charades on?"

Okas said lightly, "Nothing."

Bravin almost didn't come up in one breath.If he knew the meaning of giving the middle finger, he would definitely give Okas a middle finger indecently.

Patiently waiting for Xia Qi to finish eating, Belevin couldn't wait to direct Orcas to carry him to the kitchen.As soon as Orcas carried Xia Qi to the kitchen, Princess Jinna, Nuoding and Cassin came over.Contrary to Xia Qi's expectation, Her Majesty the Queen also came after a short while.Out of some kind of psychology and necessity, the head chef sent all the other people out of the kitchen, leaving him alone.Xia Qi dictates, and the head chef will do it.

The ingredients of hot pot are not simple, but complicated, mainly soup base and dipping sauce.After checking the ingredients in the kitchen, Xia Qi formulated four soup bases - nourishing soup base, spicy soup base, clear soup base, and sour soup base.The nourishing soup base is to add two kinds of medicinal plants with nourishing effects on the basis of the clear soup base. The clear soup base is a simple broth, and the sour soup base is added with sour fruits.One of Xia Qi's uncles owns the hot pot city, and he is quite familiar with the hot pot soup base and dipping ingredients.

It was the first time I heard that Yaozhi can also be used as an ingredient for soup base, and everyone was not calm.In Xia Qi's view, medicinal plants are a higher level of herbal medicine than traditional Chinese medicine.The nourishing medicinal plants he chose were the two lowest-level medicinal plants, which can be bought in ordinary medicinal plant shops.When Xia Qi was in Sesera, he used these two kinds of medicinal plants to cook herbal soup. He had eaten it, and it was completely fine.

"Xia Qi, can medicinal plants be used for food?" the queen asked seriously.

Xia Qi replied: "I don't know, I only tried two kinds. I didn't have the opportunity to touch too many medicinal plants before. But theoretically speaking, medicinal plants should also have certain edible value. For many civilians, medicinal plants The price is relatively expensive." "Like a common sore throat, you can drink it with "Prunella vulgaris" soaked in water, and you don't need to drink special medicine. The effect of the medicine may be slower, but it is very cheap! For burns" "Silver needle grass" juice can be used to scrub, and there is no need to buy "ice crystal medicine", "ice crystal medicine" is very expensive. It is definitely easier to make ordinary medicines such as tablets and pills from medicinal plants, I think It can be configured by medical practitioners, so that medical practitioners and pharmacists can be completely separated."

Most of the medical doctors are pharmacy apprentices and junior pharmacists, and some are intermediate pharmacists. They have elementary knowledge of pharmacy, but they can't prepare high-level pharmacy.These pharmacists who have no hope of "upgrading" become full-time therapists who treat ordinary people.In fact, most of the potions prepared by the pharmacist are for the soul warriors.In Xia Qi's view, medical doctors are professional doctors, and high-level pharmacists mainly serve soul warriors, and the two should be distinguished.

Except for Okas, everyone was stunned, especially Her Majesty the Queen and Princess Jinna.Orcas' reaction was flat because, compared with everything else about Shaggy, this only caused him a little surprise.

"Mother, let Xia Qi make the soup first." Orcas said.The queen suddenly came back to her senses, realizing that this is not a good place to talk in detail, and barely suppressed the shock in her heart.Then, Orcas patted Xia Qi's head, signaling him to concentrate on making the soup base.

Nourishing, clear soup and sour soup bases are all easy to make. Xia Qi told the head chef the soup ingredients and approximate quantities needed for each soup base. The head chef can make it by himself.Mala pot is a bit more troublesome, you have to fry the ingredients first, and then you can make the soup base.Xia Qi contributed the flame fruit and Ma fruit that Ling and Lei Zhe gave him.You can't use flame fruit powder at the bottom of the spicy pot. Fortunately, both Ling and Lei Zhe gave him some unprocessed flame fruit and hemp fruit.

Except for Xia Qi, no one else could eat spicy food, so Xia Qi cooked a little less, but even so, it still made everyone sneeze.A gust of wind from Kai Xin blew, and the kitchen finally returned to normal.There is no range hood here, so Kai Xin volunteered to do it once, blowing all the smoke from the cooking materials out of the kitchen.

After the ingredients are fried, Xia Qi uses the existing seasonings to prepare the spicy soup base.Xia Qi liked spicy food very much before, and the spicy soup base is his best.There are too few types of seasonings here, such as bay leaves, cinnamon bark, and strawberries.Xia Qi took out the large box of low-level medicinal plants that Bolevin gave him, rummaged through it, and found a few alternatives.The queen and Jin Na were stunned.

Stir-frying is a technical work.Everyone saw Xia Qi throwing something into the dark pot - the chili here is black.The color looked ugly, but a different kind of aroma gradually came out, and Belevin suddenly felt a little hungry.After Xia Qi finished frying a large bowl of ingredients, he asked the head chef to help him take another pot to boil the bone soup, and then said: "After the bone soup is cooked, put some ingredients in it and it will be a spicy pot."

"It smells pretty good," said Burlewon persuasively.

Xia Qi sucked in his saliva, "If you get used to this spicy taste, in the future, you won't like it if it's not spicy!"

Seeing the Queen and Jin Na, Xia Qi suddenly had an idea: "By the way, you can also make beauty soup base for ladies."

The eyes of the queen and Jin Na lit up instantly, and Nuoding spoke on his behalf: "Can you do it?"

"It's very simple. Just use materials that can beautify the skin. If you like to eat fish, you can use the bones of giant bony fish, add golden thorn flowers, and spotted fruits to cook. Like meat skin contains collagen, which is good for women's skin. It’s good, but it’s easy to get fat if you eat too much.”

With the old man with a white beard as his "backer", Xia Qi boldly brought modern knowledge over.

"I want a beauty soup base."

No woman can resist the allure of beauty, Jinna demanded.

"Then add another beauty soup base." Xia Qi rolled up his sleeves.

■

During dinner, the restaurant is very lively.The king and queen sat at the main seat, and Wen Lian, Lan Lu, Boya and Anbu who were originally in the academy were all present.Okas contacted Wen Lian at Xia Qi's request, asking him to take Lan Lu and the others back to the palace to eat "hot pot".On the big rectangular dining table, there is a small crystal stove in front of everyone. On the stove is a small crystal pot. In the pot, soups of different colors are boiled with different fragrances.

The Queen and Princess Jinna's soup has a layer of golden yellow, which is the color of the golden thorn flower.King Fanwei, Beleven, Wenlian, and Ocas chose the milky white thick soup made of large pieces of meat and bones, Kaixin and Wenlian chose the sour soup base, and Lanlu and Nuoding worked hard to cultivate Most people choose the nourishing soup base, Boya and Anbu have a clear soup base made from pure bones, and Xia Qi's is a spicy pot.

There is also a small table next to the big table, with a medium-sized crystal pot on it, and the spicy soup base in it. The chef will distribute the cooked ingredients to His Majesty the King and others, and they will try this "dark cuisine" .Beside each small pot is a plate of shabu-shabu ingredients, as well as marinated tendon, etc. Anyway, Xia Qi has prepared a portion that can be used to shabu-shabu.There are also several small dishes in front of each person, containing different ingredients, which can be dipped according to personal taste.Since it was the first time to eat it, Xia Qi prepared it for everyone first.

King Fanwei was the first to pick up a fork and eat!

Chopsticks are the most convenient way to eat hot pot. Xia Qi picked up the two sticks that had attracted people's curiosity for a long time, and first picked up a slice of water mutton and put it in the bubbling hot pot amidst the exclamation. I want to die!

"Xia Qi, you can also teach me how to use that." Lan Lu only thought that Xia Qi could eat with two chopsticks, which is amazing!

"no problem."

"Give me a slice of spicy." Belevin demanded.

According to Xia Qi's previous instructions, the head chef prepared a slice of spicy pork for His Highness.

Put the ingredients in the pot, take them out after cooking, dip them in the saucer, and then put them into your mouth.King Fanwei nodded after eating the first slice of meat, and immediately put another slice of meat into the queen's bowl.The queen also boiled a slice for the king in her own pot.

"It tastes good!"

"I think the vegetables are not so bad to eat."

"The meat cooked in this way is much more delicious than fried meat!"

"Give me another slice of spicy!"

"I want a spicy one too."

"I also want."

"I'll try too."

Anyway, no outsiders were there, and everyone didn't care about sweating or anything.Shaggy makes a very mild grade, and his own is slightly spicier.It tastes great with cold yogurt and drinks!

There are different soup bases, and after 2 minutes of eating, everyone tasted each other curiously.Under Shaqi's "encouragement", Okas ate some slices of spicy lamb and some spicy vegetables, which was a slightly spicy pot.It has to be said that the hot and spicy ingredients fried by Xia Qi are very fragrant.Although the demons like spicy food, their cooking methods are definitely not as good as Xia Qi.

Orcas asked the chef to add a sour soup pot and a mild spicy pot for him.In the end, everyone except the queen and Princess Jinna tried the spicy pot.

Under Xia Qi's suggestion, the queen released her ice soul beast to cool down, and everyone no longer had the trouble of sweating and runny nose, at least they would be fine with a napkin.With no worries about the future, everyone let go of their courage to eat.It was the first time that the queen found out that her ice soul beast had this kind of effect, so she couldn't laugh or cry.The reason why the queen and Jin Na didn't eat spicy hot pot was because Xia Qi accidentally said that eating too much spicy food would cause her to get angry and get acne, so the two beauty-loving ladies gave up.

The happiest was Xia Qi, who hadn't eaten spicy hot pot in 11 years, and it made me cry when I said it.While eating, Xia Qi glanced at the Queen's Ice Soul Beast for a few times, and then said, "Your Majesty the King, you can ask Her Majesty the Queen to ice your wine."

"Huh?" King Fanwei looked at the queen.The queen parted a strand of her ice spirit beast to surround the king's wine cup.

There are not many types of alcohol in the Opa Empire. There is no red wine, only very low-alcohol fruit wine and a wine similar to whiskey called "Lach wine."

After a few seconds, Xia Qi said: "It should be fine, Your Majesty the King, how does it taste?"

The king immediately took a sip from the wine glass, and was immediately surprised, "It seems to taste better after being chilled!"

Xia Qi smiled: "Then you can put two ice cubes when you drink it later."

"Mother's Queen." Bravin raised his glass, and Kai Xin, Wen Lian and Nuo Ding who were drinking all looked at Her Majesty the Queen, including Orcas.

The queen smiled and separated out the ice soul beast to serve everyone with ice wine.Shaggy held up the yogurt cup and said, "Me too."

"You can also ice yogurt?" Blue Road asked.

"My name is yogurt ice cream~"

"My queen, I want it too!"

Xia Qi suddenly discovered what his historical mission here was.It's not a design drawing, it's not a repair of the soul pattern, it's basically to spread the "modern" food!
