The demon monk in the second dimension

It meticulously cuts the Kentiro beef along the grain.

The beef head, neck meat, shoulder meat, chuck, brisket, ribeye, sirloin, tenderloin, rump, brisket, leg, and tail are arranged and classified in order.

This guy is clearly a veteran; he's probably cut up a lot of Tauros before.

Following the order in which the flying mantises had separated, Xia Zhi began to work on them one by one.

First up is the beef bone.

Beef bones are a great ingredient for making stock.

But true broth can never be made in a short time.

To prepare for today's dish, I started making soup with beef bones, pork bones, and a whole chicken two days before the summer solstice, and now it's perfect to use it.

These beef bones were put in the refrigerator during the summer solstice.

Then comes the bull's head.

There was a spirit on the summer solstice who loved to eat cow heads, so we collected some to save for it.

Influenced by the summer solstice, the other party also developed a liking for cooking and often used a rough-and-ready method of grilling meat.

This cow's head doesn't require complicated processing; just remove the horns and teeth, and then send it over as a whole.

Next is beef neck.

The meat from the neck area of ​​the cow is a mix of lean and fatty meat, with a firm texture and very messy marbling, making it difficult to distinguish the meat from the fat.

Therefore, this type of meat is suitable for making less refined dishes. For example, it can be rolled into meatballs and used to make beef meatball soup.

Summer Solstice instructed the flying praying mantis to chop the meat into small pieces first, and then she would roll it into meatballs herself.

These are genuine pure beef balls, and the taste is so much better than those so-called beef balls sold outside.

The shoulder meat is tender and smooth. Xia Zhi pulled out a bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands of yuan from her collection, planning to make red wine braised beef later.

The chuck cut of beef is tender and has a good marbled texture, making it perfect for hot pot.

The fatty beef that people usually eat, the real authentic fatty beef, is basically this part of the meat.

This task was also assigned to Scyther.

Although beef brisket has a large area of ​​muscle, it also has a fair amount of fat. It has a tender texture and is fatty but not greasy.

We stew it during the summer solstice.

Ribeye is used for pan-frying, sirloin is used for steak, tenderloin is sliced ​​and eaten raw, rump is stir-fried with chili peppers, and brisket is added to curry.

The last two large beef legs were roasted over a charcoal grill, and the three beef tails were cut into sections to make fresh and delicious oxtail soup.

This Tauros was completely outmaneuvered and left with nothing.

As for bull penis, Kentiro cattle used as beef cattle are castrated, and the price is calculated separately, so I didn't buy any on the summer solstice.

The Kentaro was prepared, and the ducks on the other side were almost marinated.

Remove the duck pieces from the basin, and Xia Zhi uses absorbent paper to dry the water and cooking wine on the duck pieces before setting them aside.

Pour the oil into the pot, and soon the hot oil bursts and crackles.

On the summer solstice, the duck pieces are poured directly into the pot. The tender duck meat reacts even more violently upon contact with the boiling hot oil.

During the summer solstice, the oil in the wok is stirred frequently. When the duck meat turns slightly yellow, the tender ginger prepared earlier is added for seasoning.

Once the young ginger has turned dry and yellow in the pan, pour out the excess oil and add cooking wine and salt to taste.

Don't forget to add the prepared scallions here.

Eating scallion duck without adding scallions is soulless and extremely wasteful!

Fifteen minutes later, when the water in the pot has almost evaporated, the stir-fried duck with scallions is ready.

When cooking was being done on the summer solstice, all of Giovanni's Pokémon were present.

As "Gakki of the Earth," most of Giovanni's Pokémon are Ground and Rock types, and many of them are large.

For example, Rhinoceros, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, Golem, and Aggron.

Among them, the bee-like wasps all became small in size.

With the appearance of these five behemoths, all of whom were top-tier figures, Xia Zhi's originally spacious restaurant immediately became packed to capacity.

Strangely, however, Giovanni did not have Tyranitar, the pseudo-god known as the "King of Sandstorms".

Given his power and status, it's impossible that he couldn't get it.

Perhaps it's because they've reached the Heavenly King level that the difference between a quasi-god and a non-quasi-god is so small that it can be ignored.

Moreover, Giovanni understands that ordinary Pokémon, even pseudo-legendary ones, have their limits!

This is the limit for the Heavenly King level!

If you want to break through this limit, then the only target is the divine beast!

In the League's lore, Champion-level Pokémon are comparable to Legendary Pokémon.

While it may not be comparable to Ho-Oh or Regigigas, it is at least on par with Suicune and Darkrai.

Unfortunately, all Pokémon that have reached the Champion level so far are either legendary Pokémon or related to legendary Pokémon, without exception.

The champion-level trainers in each region are called champion-level, but they are actually just the strongest Elite Four members in their respective regions.

They might be able to hold their own against Champion-level Pokémon, but they won't be able to defeat them.

Even Xia Zhi is limited by the world's rules and is bound to the Heavenly King level.

Mewtwo, created by Giovanni, was indeed a Champion-level creature, but it eventually broke free from Giovanni's control.

Chapter 452 Post-Dinner Sparring

These large elves are all big-bellied men.

Although it was only a little before eleven o'clock, at Sakaki's suggestion, Xia Zhi still brought out all the dishes one by one.

Stir-fried duck with scallions, curry beef brisket, beef balls in broth, grilled beef leg, beef stewed in red wine, braised beef brisket...

One dish after another of Kentaro meat dishes were placed on the table, filling the dining table, which was large enough for eight people, to the brim.

Two beef legs were specially placed on a grill by Xia Zhi, along with a hot pot with broth as the base.

The aroma of broth, roasted beef leg, and beef fills the restaurant.

Just smelling it is enough to make your mouth water.

The elves looked at each other, clearly their taste buds were being whetted.

But Sakaki didn't give the order, and they all stood still without moving.

There was meat everywhere, and although the bird was very tempted, it ultimately refused to join the meal.

If I actually eat that, I'll definitely gain two or three pounds tomorrow!

Out of sight, out of mind, she walked straight out of the restaurant, intending to conduct a surprise inspection of the Rockets' assets on the black market.

I hope those people are alright.

Looking at his Pokémon's eager expressions, Giovanni recalled the last time he had invited his main Pokémon over for a meal.

It seems like it was during the Lunar New Year gathering, right?

He picked up a slice of stir-fried beef with chili peppers with his chopsticks and smiled at his elves.

"Let's eat together."

"Sizzling beer~"

"Nido!"

"Long!"

The elves cheered happily as they found their favorite foods and began to feast.

Touched by the elves' pure joy, Giovanni also smiled sincerely.

He served soup to Nidoqueen, whose hands were enormous, put meat on Nidoking's plate, and fed Aggron duck, but he didn't eat much himself.

However, Beedrill soon flew to Giovanni.

"Hiss!"

It barked at Sakaki, with a piece of roasted beef leg stuck in its hand.

"Thank you, Beedrill."

Sakaki smiled as he took the piece of meat, took a big bite, and chewed it.

"Hiss!"

A tender look flashed in the Beedrill's crimson eyes as it lowered its head to eat the meat on its other hand.

……

While Giovanni and his Pokémon reminisce about the past, Natsumi also asks Scyther to call back all his other Pokémon.

Although the probability is low, what if Giovanni suddenly loses his temper?

Including Scyther, only three Pokémon stayed at home.

Two Pokémon were making quite a stir during the summer solstice, making them difficult to train in the black market, so they weren't kept at home.

They train in Viridian Forest during the day and return to their Poké Balls to rest at night.

When he has free time, Xia Zhi will also come to the Viridian Forest to give them guidance.

Since she doesn't intend to become a Pokémon Master, Xia Zhi values ​​the quality of Pokémon over the quantity.

In the past three years, Xia Zhi has only captured five spirits—after all, he is a spirit hunter.

Moreover, since he was willing to acknowledge the elf chef as his master, the elves in Xia Zhi's hands also had some problems (major illnesses).

First up is the Scyther.

This Scyther is the most normal of the Pokémon in the Summer Solstice, but it's a sword fanatic who will do anything for the sake of swordsmanship.

One day, Xia Zhi unexpectedly encountered a flying mantis in the forest that was simulating swordsmanship with a scythe. The flying mantis felt that Xia Zhi had disturbed its training and immediately tried to kill Xia Zhi.

As a result, Xia Zhi grabbed a tree branch and used it as a sword to fight the Scyther, quickly defeating it.

In order to learn Xia Zhi's swordsmanship, Scyther did not hesitate to acknowledge him as its master, and trained from the original Elite level all the way to the current Quasi-Champion level.

The two Pokémon that Scyther went to find were Charizard and Milotic.

The Charizard in the summer solstice actually comes from Charizard Valley in Violet City.

But it was driven out.

Because this Charizard was extremely cruel, it killed another Charizard that had fought with it and was expelled from its group.

This kind of personality should originally belong to Hydreigon and Salamence.

When Charizard encountered Summer Solstice and intended to eat him, it suffered the most devastating defeat of its life.

Therefore, Charizard was willing to submit to Summer Solstice, who was so powerful that he could defeat it entirely on his own without using any Pokémon.

Despite its ferocious nature, this Charizard is the weakest of the Pokémon in the Summer Solstice, having only just entered the quasi-Elite Four level.

It is usually used as a flying mount by the summer solstice.

Let's talk about Milotic.

When it was still a clownfish, it was mocked by many elves around it.

But Milotic didn't give up, and even believed that it was the best, and that everyone else was just jealous of its beauty.

Finally, it successfully evolved thanks to this confidence.

Then, something terrible happened.

This Milotic was extremely vengeful, killing all the Pokémon that had mocked it before, leaving corpses strewn across the field.

This can be considered a saying in the world of elves: "Never underestimate a young man's potential."

Oh, I forgot to mention, this is a shiny Milotic.

Other Milotics have white bodies, but this one is black.
