Lord of the Earth

Chapter 91 Warring States Chef, Pao Ding (Silver)
Xia Tian was right.

Zhu Youxiao's "accompanying strange thing" is in the carpenter's box next to him. It is a black and gold carving knife!

【Carving knife (blue)】

【Type】Wonderful Object

[Characteristics] Fuling (you can imbue the wood with spiritual power during the carving process, so that its level can be improved, and it can acquire a certain tendency of "basic characteristics"), Fushen (for products that have devoted a lot of effort, it can be "spirited", so that It has a certain 'spirituality')
[Description] The accompanying wonder of "Carpenter Zhu", which can be gradually improved along with its production of wooden utensils.

Generally speaking, the rare objects that accompany the heroes of silver history are not of high grade.

Like Li Ru, Zhu Youxiao carries a blue strange object with him, which shows that his potential is at least excellent!

"What a big snake... At noon today, everyone is lucky enough to have snake soup."

At this time, the "butcher" with a silver boning knife hanging from his waist looked at the blue-eyed double-headed snake that floated out of the river after being beheaded by the wooden puppet in the river under the impact of the current, his eyes lit up!
After stretching out one hand to grab it from the water, the other hand took off his boning knife, and began to deboning it in public by the river.

Puff puff……

With the knife in his hand, he picked out lumps of crystal-colored snake meat with the knife, leaving only a pile of snake bones in the form of white bones by the river.

The key point is that during the whole deboning process, the snake bones were not damaged in the slightest.

You know, the structure of the bones of snakes can be said to be extremely complicated, especially this is a rare two-headed snake. Ordinary people will feel dizzy when they see the structure of snake bones, let alone deboning!

"Hiss, what a powerful knife skill!
Ding Xiu, who has a high temperament and is very confident in his sword skills, took a breath when he saw this.

As a person whose saber skills have reached the level of a "grandmaster", he believes that even if he goes all out, he will not be able to achieve this level.

The main thing is that it is not professional.

And Xia Tian was also a little surprised.

Because, he found that the snake meat picked off by the "butcher" looked neat, the bones were separated from the flesh, there was not a trace of blood on the bones, and the color of the meat was crystal clear, and there was blood but it would not flow out!
This kind of effect is not bad at all compared to the effect of his own harvesting technique, even stronger.

You know, although the collection technique can quickly decompose the loot.

But like the "eye of insight", it needs to consume a lot of mental power, and even using more advanced collection techniques also needs to consume the power of luck!
If this "butcher" can be recruited to the territory, it will also save a lot of luck.

However, just when Xia Tian thought that the other party was a "butcher".

"My lord, you are a guest, and I invite you all to taste our 'Golden Dragon Soup'!"

The two brought out four soup bowls that seemed to have a hint of golden luster from the kitchen, and were about the size of a head, and handed them to Xia Tian and the others, saying with anticipation.

"Well, this soup is very unusual..."

Wu Song looked moved.

Just because he just smelled the soup, he could feel the spiritual energy in his body flow faster, and the energy and blood surged. It can be seen that this bowl of soup is very good for cultivation.

"My bowl of soup still has big meat in it, and the color is actually golden yellow."

And Xia Tian, ​​who has stronger eyesight, even noticed that there is a fist-sized, golden flesh floating in his soup, which seems to exude a crystal luster under the sun!
Hey guys, glowing treats, huh?
【Golden Dragon Vulture Soup (Silver)】

[Level] Transformation

[Characteristics] Nourishing the body and mind (the spiritual power contained in the soup can temper the body, increase the progress of transformation, and at the same time nourish the heart and restore the power of the mind)

[Description] It is mainly a piece of heart meat that condenses the essence of the whole body of the 'Golden Dragon Vulture', combined with Ningshencao, Zhu Guo, etc., and the broth is carefully brewed by top chefs!

"Silver... Good guy, not only is there a carpenter who is comparable to a master, but also a chef who is comparable to a master?"

Xia Tian was a little surprised again.

You must know that this bowl of soup belongs to the "transformation" level, and it is impossible for ordinary master chefs to be able to make a silver-colored transformation-level soup at the current stage!
"However, the property of this soup can restore the 'mind', which is also suitable for me now."

Because the continuous use of the Eye of Insight leads to serious "mind consumption", the characteristics of this bowl of soup can be said to be just right.

Xia Tian picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup first, and found that although it looked steaming hot, the temperature was just right after entering the mouth, and when it rolled into the throat, a warm fragrance spread to the whole body.

His head, which had been exhausted and slightly tired, suddenly became refreshed!
"Good soup, the taste is also top-notch!"

In addition, the taste of the soup made Xia Tian couldn't help admiring it.

I finally ate delicious food. This is the delicious taste that food should have in a world with strange powers like Eternal Land!

You know, almost all the meat he eats in the territory is boiled in plain water. Maybe it feels very fresh when he eats it for the first or second time, but he starts to feel uncomfortable after eating too much.

Especially in order to practice "Five Animals", he ate a lot of meat every day, which made it difficult to swallow even black and white dragon pheasant meat and golden pterosaur meat.

Although some modern seasonings were found from the treasure chest, the quantity was too small to be enough, and Pan Jinlian and others were not good at cooking with modern seasonings.

But now this soup, which seems to be cooked only with the raw materials of Eternal Land and the fruits of plants, tastes so good that Xia Tian almost wants to swallow his tongue!
Dude, silver tastes so good, wouldn't gold be even better?
Of course, this is definitely not certain.

In the Eternal Land, taste is not the criterion for food quality evaluation, it depends more on characteristics.

"The soup that Chef Ding made today is made from the golden dragon monster killed by Zhao Zhuangshi. The stronger the body, the better it can absorb it. We only drink a small bowl of soup. If we don't eat meat, our whole body will be unbearably hot. , They actually drank it all down, and haven’t reacted much yet!”

"Could it be that these four people are all metamorphosis masters?"

"No way, we don't even have a 'transformation' at the moment. Are all the lord's subordinates so powerful? Worse, wouldn't they look down on us even more!"

Seeing that several people drank the soup without changing their faces, the residents of the territory began to whisper.

"So this person is not a butcher, but a cook? Ding, could it be..."

After hearing these people's words, Xia Tian's heart moved.

You must know that the use of the name "Ding" is most likely from the pre-Qin people. Before the Qin Dynasty, the name was "Ding", and they had such extreme cooking skills.

Because he had recovered a lot of mental power through drinking the soup, Xia Tian used the "eye of insight" to observe the butcher again.

【Ding (Silver)】

[Level] Tier [-] (Soul Limit)

[Talent] Can't see everything (you can see the texture of the target creature's flesh and bone structure)

[Characteristics] Slaughtering cattle (increased damage to cattle creatures), easy blade (skillful slaughtering knife skills, beyond the ordinary)

【Skills】Chef (Master), Butcher Knife Worker (Grandmaster)

[Description] A master chef with excellent skills, even has the ultimate knife skill beyond the master!
"Sure enough, this person is Pao Ding!"

There was an expression on Xia Tian's face that he guessed right.

Pao Ding is not a name.

Among them, blister means the occupation of "cook" in ancient times, and "ding" is the name!

In the pre-Qin period, many low-level people did not have a bunch of surnames, surnames, and even table characters and numbers like people in later generations, which were complicated and difficult to remember. The full name of this part-time butcher chef was "Ding".

Compared with Zhu Youxiao, Pao Ding's face is not inferior at all, and even more "gorgeous" in some aspects. His sword skills are already extraordinary, similar to Wu Song's fist and foot accomplishments in foot combat!

And the silver-white bone razor in his hand, Xia Tian guessed that it was most likely the other party's accompanying strange creature.

It is said that Pao Ding's skills are extremely superb. The knife in his hand has been used for 19 years and has slaughtered thousands of cows. However, the blade is as smooth as new, and there is not even any gap on the blade!
It's just because his mastery of the skill of slaughtering cattle has reached a level beyond the reach of human beings. He knows all the structures of the cattle like the palm of his hand, and the knife in his hand can easily move between the bones of the cattle to remove the meat completely. There will be no collisions with bones.

This is also the origin of the idiom of later generations "without complete vision, with ease"!

However, the spread of Pao Ding's story mainly comes from an article written by Zhuangzi, not from historical records.

Therefore, even if the knife craftsmanship is extremely superb and the popularity is not low, it is only silver after coming to the eternal land, not directly a golden hero!
"Hey, my lord has good eyesight, this knife of mine is really special."

After discovering that Xia Tian was very interested in his boning knife, Pao Ding said with a confident expression on his face.

"The meat cut by it will always be kept in the freshest state! In addition, during the process of removing the meat, I can gather all the flesh and blood essence contained in its whole body into a small part of the meat, or a piece of meat." On the top of the bone, let its quality reach the limit, and even be improved."

"In this way, just eating a piece of meat or a bone is equivalent to swallowing the essence of a whole head of food."

At the same time, it also explained why he was able to make this silver-colored good soup without being "transformed".

"So that's the case, so this soup is second? The real nutrition is still in the meat."

After hearing Pao Ding's words, Xia Tian looked at the fist-sized lump of golden meat in his bowl.

"The heart meat of the golden dragon vulture, isn't it a creature of the blood of the golden dragon clan like the golden pterosaur?"

After guessing in his heart, Xia Tian ate the meat with anticipation.

The taste of the mouth is soft and glutinous with elasticity, which is also extremely delicious, especially after eating this ball of golden meat, a huge amount of spiritual power exploded in the body and passed to the internal organs, six internal organs, Among the limbs and bones and every cell, the body is already only short of the bottleneck of "the second level of transformation".

Suddenly, it was broken.

"Ang~"

While breaking through.

The bones, flesh and blood of Xia Tian's whole body, even including the soul, shook at the same time, making a sound like "Dragon Roar".

Even, there was an illusory dragon shape transformed from the spiritual power of "Secret of the Dragon", which quickly walked along his whole body, tempering the spiritual power into every bone and flesh and blood, allowing it to Both soul and body have become stronger and more stable!
"Are you dazzled? I seem to hear a dragon chant, and I saw a dragon emerging from that lord!"

"No, there is nothing wrong with you, and I saw it too!"

"This is a vision. This lord is probably the reincarnation of the real dragon emperor, and he will be the emperor in the future!"

The territory resident who has been watching Xia Tian trembled, his eyes were in a daze, and he said inconceivably.

"My lord, did you break through?"

Even people like Wu Song, Ding Xiu, and Hua Rong who have also achieved transformation feel a certain amount of pressure standing next to Xia Tian.

This is the metamorphosis stage. Every transformation is a great improvement. Although it is not a big difference, the combat power will have obvious changes!

"Your soup is very good, thank you!"

Xia Tian said to Pao Ding.

"My lord, please taste the brewed wine..."

"Lord, how do you think my horses are doing?"

"My lord, this is the Shu brocade woven by myself. It is warm in winter and cool in summer..."

"My lord, look at the eggs that my kid picked out are not bad..."

And after seeing that the craftsmanship of the carpenter and cook had been affirmed by Xia Tian, ​​especially after the lord was suspected of being "the reincarnation of a real dragon", the people in this territory became even more enthusiastic.

Each of them showed off their unique skills.

An expert mason can create with his bare hands very neat mud bricks that are as hard as stone.

An expert horse trainer has raised more than a dozen horses in the territory that have reached the seventh rank and can understand human language.

An expert tailor can weave the silk extracted from the roots of trees and grass to obtain a fabric as soft as silk!
Even a few children were called over by adults and performed some "tricks" in front of the four of them.

"these people……"

Seeing this, Wu Song and Hua Rong were surprised, and even felt a little "ashamed"!
After all, although it cannot be said that among the people brought by the two of them who are proficient in a life skill, they are really rare.

But the residents of this territory are all unique skills. Even children in rotten crotch can climb trees and dig out bird nests like monkeys.

While Xia Tian was coping with their enthusiasm, he also had doubts in his heart.

The performance of these people is completely different from the "pride" he originally thought came from the technicians.

Facing him, a foreign lord, his attitude was extremely enthusiastic, and even obviously a little apprehensive, dragging his family to the battle, like cabbage waiting to be picked in the market!
