184、Mona's advice
Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head and said, "Don't worry, village chief, I've done an experiment before and specially fed some fish to Iron-toothed wolf. After those Iron-toothed wolf ate, there was nothing to do, so these fish should not be poisonous."
Although Xiao Chen explained so, no one dared to come forward to try it after the fish soup was stewed.
The delicious taste of fish soup is filled with the air. When people in the village smell this delicious smell, they can't help but drool because the food they ate in the past was simply pig food. It can only be said to be used to fill their stomachs. Whether it is delicious or not is not important, and no one pays attention to it.
But now, Xiao Chen suddenly took out such delicious food, which made everyone's taste buds suddenly stimulated and secreted a lot of saliva. He looked into the pot one by one, and saw pieces of fish rolling in the white soup in the pot. People couldn't help but move their index fingers. However, because they didn't dare to try it easily, many people were waiting and watching, waiting for others to finish eating and they would go to eat.
Xiao Chen can understand the mood of these people. After all, it is good to be cautious, because the forest of death is a place full of dangers. If you don’t pay attention, you will be in danger of your life.
In order to dispel everyone's concerns, Xiao Chen decided to set an example. He stood up and said to everyone, "Dear villagers, don't worry. Now I will come and taste the fish and fish soup of the jumping fish in front of everyone, and then see if I have anything to do." After that, Xiao Chen took the dishes and chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish from the pot, and then served some soup. He sat in front of everyone and ate it with great flavor in front of everyone.
"Well, this taste is really delicious," Xiao Chen exclaimed while eating. It was not that he was exaggerating, but that the fish meat in the pot was really delicious, even more delicious than the big black fish he had eaten before. Xiao Chen really wants to eat all the fish meat in the pot in one breath!
At this moment, Xiao Chen saw a series of system prompts appearing in his eyes.
【Automatically learn cooking skills!】
【Recipe: Delicious Jump Fish, already mastered】
【Cooking Skills Plus 1】
...
Xiao Chen was stunned. Unexpectedly, he stewed a pot of fish casually and learned cooking skills by himself. This made Xiao Chen so happy. Then he carefully observed the recipe of "Delicious Jump Fish" and found that after eating this dish, he would get some special attributes, that is, [10% bounce ability].
Xiao Shan thought it was very strange. What is the use of this bounce skill? Could it be that it jumps high?
Just as he was thinking, Shi Tou could not help but come over. Because he saw that Mo Xiaobai had nothing to do, he also took the bowls and chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish in the pot, served the fish soup, and then started to eat it carefully. As soon as he took the first bite, Shi Tou's eyes lit up because the taste was so delicious. The fish meat was so tender and fresh and the fish soup were so delicious that he wanted to jump up excitedly. It was so delicious!
Shi Tou shouted, "Xiao Chen, you are so amazing. The fish you made is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food!" After that, he picked up a lot of meat from the pot and feasted.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Shitou, eat slowly, see if there are any fish bones, and be careful to pierce the throat."
The stone's mouth was filled with fish meat, and it was so hard that he could not explain it clearly. He finally swallowed the fish meat in his mouth and then said happily, "Don't worry, this kind of jumping fish has only one bone on its body. There will be no fish bones that pierce me!" After that, he ate again.
The rest of the people couldn't help swallowing when they saw the stones so sweetly. Some brave people also came up, picked up the fish meat from the pot, served the fish soup, and began to taste it carefully. At first, these people stuttered in small stutters, but later they poured them into their mouths!
For a moment, people from the village rushed forward, and the elderly, women, and children all held the tableware in their hands and ate meat from the pot piece by piece. The scene was spectacular!
Xiao Chen specially hid a pot of fish meat and fish soup, brought it to the old village chief and the old witch doctor, and said to them with a smile, "Two old gentlemen, please try my skills. I think the taste is OK."
The old witch doctor and the old village chief had already smelled the fragrance of meat, but they held their own identities and did not go down to compete with the villagers. However, seeing that everyone was eating so happily, the two of them couldn't help swallowing, but they just endured and didn't say anything.
Now, Xiao Chen took the initiative to deliver the fish to them, which made the two old men very happy. The old witch doctor patted Xiao Song on the shoulder and praised with a smile, "Xiao Chen, you did it right. It's really rare for you to have this vision."
The old village chief also smiled and said, "It's not bad, I'm filial to the elderly, but it's a virtue." After that, the two old men put Xiao Chen aside, took the tableware, and started to eat it. While eating, they kept praising: "It's delicious, delicious, and so delicious!"
Xiao Chen smiled and looked at the two old men, fighting for fish in the pot like children. He no longer disturbed them. He turned around and returned to the edge of the pot. Then he suddenly widened his eyes. There was still a lot of fish and fish soup in the 10 large pots just now, but in this gust of wind, there was nothing in the pot!
There is really nothing left, it is clean, not only fish meat, but also fish soup is stolen!
Two words flashed in Xiao Chen's mind, "Terrible!"
Xiao Chen couldn't believe his eyes. They were hundreds of fish, and they were wiped out by everyone in the blink of an eye. This shows how popular the fish he stewed was.
In fact, Xiao Chen's cooking skills are only level 0, and the fish they make is not very delicious. It can only be said that it is better than ordinary people. However, because people in the village have never eaten such delicious food, it is very popular.
Some villagers who had not eaten enough surrounded Xiao Chen and looked at him with a gaze. They didn't have to say anything. Xiao Chen knew what they were thinking, so he had to spread his hands helplessly and said, "No fish, I'll take them out for everyone to eat."
Seeing everyone's disappointed expressions, Xiao Chen felt a little embarrassed. He thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, I'll ask you again, catch more fish and stew meat for everyone."
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, all the villagers cheered, their faces were filled with smiles, and they were late again. They felt very happy with such delicious food.
"But it's getting late today and everyone is full, so let's talk about fishing tomorrow," Xiao Chen said to everyone with a smile. The villagers knew that they could no longer eat, so they dispersed, leaving only a few big pots and some stoves in the square. It's not that no one was going to clean them up, but that no one wanted to clean up these things.
Because they are still waiting for Xiao Chen to continue cooking fish for them tomorrow.
Looking at the villagers who were reluctant to leave, Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. He really didn't expect that the fish he stewed would be so popular, almost alarming the people in the village. It seemed that he would be busy in the future.
Back in his small wooden house, Xiao Chen took out the materials collected by Shi Tou and others from the window, and then placed them in front of him one by one, checked, watched, and compared. Finally, he screened out more than a dozen materials that could be used to make muskets from it.
Although there are still seven or eight kinds of materials, Xiao Chen believes that with the efforts of Shi Tou and others, these materials will be found by him soon.
The sky gradually darkened, and it was almost five or six o'clock in the afternoon. The time of the Death Forest changed very quickly. It was already bright at around 3 o'clock in the morning. At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun set, and the surroundings began to gradually sink into a dark silence. By eight or nine o'clock in the evening, people were already asleep.
This is also normal, because the villagers in the Death Forest have no other night entertainment activities at all. They have developed the habit of getting up on time and sleeping on time.
Xiao Chen lit the oil lamp. The liquid of the turmeric grass crackled under the burning of flames. With the light, Xiao Chen took out the pen and paper he asked for from the stone and started writing a diary.
This is a habit that Xiao Chen has always developed. He has been writing diaries since he was a child, and he is still writing diaries until he went to college. Although he has now arrived in another world, Xiao Chen also wants to keep this habit. No matter whether he can return to his own world in the future, when he is old, he can take out the diary and read it and recall what he did when he was young, which is not a waste of his life.
In just a few hundred words, Xiao Chen recorded everything that happened today on paper, and then he put away the paper and pen and prepared to go to bed.
At this moment, he suddenly felt someone coming outside his small wooden door. He immediately sat up, took out his weapon and sat on the bed vigilantly, staring at the wooden door. He suspected that there was a wild beast breaking into the village. This situation had not been seen before. A long-haired pig accidentally broke into the village and injured several people. Finally, he was caught by everyone and turned into a delicious dish in the village that night.
The long-haired pig has a weak attack power, so it is not too dangerous. However, if it is a dangerous creature like the Iron-Tooth Wolf, the consequences will be unimaginable. However, the Iron-Tooth Wolf will not easily approach human territory, as if it is a common agreement. If humans do not provoke Iron-Tooth Wolf, the Iron-Tooth Wolf will not take the initiative to attack the human settlement, and both sides maintain a delicate balance.
Xiao Chen listened quietly for a while, and then he heard a woman's voice coming from outside the door, "Xiao Chen, don't be afraid, I'm Mona."
Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this the female elf? Why is she back?
After staying for a while, Xiao Chen asked, "What are you doing when you come to me? It probably hasn't arrived yet, right? Is it time for us to negotiate with the two races?"
Mona laughed loudly outside the door, and she said, "I'm here to visit you as a personal identity. Do you have the heart to let me be a big beauty, and can you still suffer from the cold when standing outside your door?"
Xiao Chen was speechless. This female elf was so familiar. He walked over and opened the door and saw a beautiful girl standing outside the door. The moonlight shone on her long golden hair. Her pointed ears were swaying around, making Xiao Chen unable to help but want to go up and pinch her.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen finally held back. He was really worried that his actions would anger Mona and bring crazy revenge from the other party.
"Please come in, Miss Mona," Xiao Chen made way out of the position and invited Mona into her room. Mona looked around, and then sat directly on Xiao Chen's bed without seeing her. She asked with a smile, "I want to ask you a question."
Xiao Chen looked at Mona strangely and asked, "What questions do you want to ask me?"
Mona's big eyes shone with a light, and she asked excitedly, "How did you make your bowl of fish soup? It seems to be very delicious."
Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this. Did this female elf not leave the village, but was observing him secretly?
Thinking of this, he immediately lowered his face and asked, "You are monitoring me, are you?"
Mona shook her head repeatedly and said, "You misunderstood. I'm not monitoring you. I'm just curious about you. Because..." Mona thought for a while before saying, "Because you give me a special feeling, I'm full of curiosity about you."
"What's special about me? I'm just an ordinary human." Xiao Chen also said guiltily.
"No," Mona shook her head firmly and said in a affirmative tone, "You are definitely not an ordinary person. I can feel that ordinary human souls are not as powerful as you. You are a very special existence!"
"And you can tame the Giantfoot, invent muskets, and make such delicious food for everyone. I believe you are definitely not an ordinary person!"
Xiao Chen remained silent. He didn't want others to know his origin and identity, but this female elf named Mona was pestering him tightly, which gave him a great headache.
Otherwise, killing someone to silence him? Mo Xiaobai had such an idea in his mind, but he was soon dispelled.
Not to mention whether he can kill this elf, as far as his personality is concerned, he is not the kind of bad guy who kills innocent people. Moreover, since Mona can come out of the elves to perform tasks alone, she must be very good at performing tasks. Otherwise, the village would not be assured to let her come out to perform tasks.
Mona looked at Xiao Chen quietly, suddenly burst out laughing and said, "What are you struggling with? Although I am very curious about you, I have no malice towards you, and I also admire you very much."
Xiao Chen looked at Mona in shock. He was just an ordinary human. What did this female elf admire him?
Mona did not explain to Xiao Chen what she admired Xiao Chen? She just looked at Xiao Chen in a flash, as if "If you don't tell me the way of making fish soup, I won't leave."
