Sandwich Kalinda Square

The long table piled with ingredients divided the square into several areas. The top chefs from Earth, dressed in chef uniforms, stood together without factions, discussing in low voices the ingredients on the table that were completely different from those on Earth. They looked curiously at the onlookers and their "communication partners", the chefs from the elves.

With the help of blood, these elves, regardless of gender, age, height, weight or size, all have beautiful or handsome faces. The only difference is that they are more beautiful and more beautiful, and they are pleasing to the eye from a distance.

Except for some humans from Parnaki, most of the onlookers were from the races of the Elf Forest - elves, fairies, dryads, etc.

They were scattered on both sides of the square, where a special audience seat was set aside. After the VIP area at the front of the square, where the patriarchs, saints, sons, or priests of the elves, tree demons, etc., had finished tasting, the audience in the audience seats could enter the venue and taste the food they were interested in.

Closer to the chef area than the audience seats is the media area, which is relatively freer. Most of the media in Parnagi come from the media company established by Zhao Yaya, and are composed of reporters sent by different magazine departments. A small number of reporters come from other independent magazines or newspapers.

The media on Earth are more responsible and lively.

Before the culinary exchange began, this group of Earthlings, armed with various strange machines, had already attracted a wave of curiosity from the Parnaki people.

...

Rebecca is a reporter for the magazine branch established by Zhao Yaya's company in Sandwich. As the main reporter, this was his first time to encounter such a big scene, and he felt excited and nervous.

"The high priest of the tree demon clan, the queen of the elves...Oh my god, even Her Highness Yael Kalinda Elius is here!"

For the citizens living in Sandwich, the Saint of the Elf Tribe is more appealing than the Queen and is more worshipped by the citizens. For them, it is the existence of the Saint that allows them to see the colorful world.

He clenched the camera in his hand and was about to take a picture of Su Mingya, but his eyes were attracted by the reporters from Earth not far away.

Although they came from different worlds, the equipment used by these earthlings and even their clothing were surprisingly similar to those of Parnaki.

They wore black or gray suits, and the cameras they carried were similar to those of Parnaki, but more complicated. The equipment carried by the cameramen also looked very similar to Parnaki's cameras, and also looked more complicated and bulky. Even the microphones used by those who were recording were almost the same as those of Parnaki.

Although they came from different worlds, they had a similar culture. The Parnaki people, who had originally been repulsive and wary of these Earthlings, couldn't help but relax and felt a sense of joy as if they had met an old friend in a foreign land.

There were many reporters who looked at the Earthlings like Rebecca did. At the same time, the reporters from Earth were also looking at Parnaki curiously.

——Why are these people’s equipment so similar to ours?

This question arises in the minds of all people on earth at the same time.

As a special reporter from the Chinese side, Wang Lu closely followed the Parnaki reporter team and held the camera tightly in his hand.

"Wang Lu, what's wrong?" His colleagues noticed the change in his expression and asked.

"...I think I saw someone I know."

The colleague was stunned for a moment, but then reacted and showed an understanding expression: "Oh, yes, you are a time traveler. It's a good opportunity, why don't you go find him and reminisce about the past?"

Wang Lu smiled bitterly: "In his impression, I am probably already dead."

None of those time travelers lived to be six years old, but for them, these few years were still a shocking memory worth remembering.

"...You watch the scene for me, I'll go and talk to him." After saying this, Wang Lu hurriedly walked towards Rebecca who was in the Parnaki media team.

Wang Lu still remembers that when he first crossed over, he knew nothing about the other world. He was poor and down and out, but was saved by Rebecca and became a tenant in her house. Afterwards, Rebecca, as his first friend in Parnaqui, gave him a lot of warmth. It was also because of Rebecca's influence that he chose to become a reporter after returning to Earth. It's a pity that he had just agreed with Rebecca to become a reporter, but he died because of a sudden Warcraft riot.

Until now, Wang Lu could not forget Rebecca's sad look when he "died".

Does he remember me? Will he recognize me?

Wang Lu approached Rebecca nervously, and was hesitating whether to greet him proactively. Rebecca, who was communicating with her companions, suddenly turned her head as if by telepathy and made eye contact with him.

"Who are you..."

A familiar voice sounded in his ears. Wang Lu's nose felt sore and the words suppressed in his heart blurted out: "Do you still remember me?"

Rebecca's eyes widened, and she couldn't believe it and said, "Lu?"

Wang Lu nodded vigorously: "It's me!"

"How...but you..." The strong emotional fluctuations made Rebecca incoherent for a while. He held Wang Lu's hand and looked up and down at the young man in front of him. After confirming that he was the friend who suddenly passed away in his memory, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked excitedly: "You are still alive? How did you survive? Why didn't you come to me? You..."

He looked at the ID card hanging on Wang Lu's chest and asked in surprise, "Why are you in the team of the other world?"

Rebecca vaguely remembered that Wang Lu died because of a monster. But she couldn't remember exactly when he died or what monster hurt him. The memory seemed to have happened not long ago, but it carried a sense of nostalgia that lasted for decades. Memories can be problematic, but the emotions in one's heart will never be false.

Wang Lu rubbed his nose and said, "It's a long story."

"At least you're still alive!" Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sincerely: "Are you a reporter now?"

Wang Lu nodded vigorously: "I did what I promised you!"

The two friends who had not seen each other for a long time chatted warmly for a few more words, and then turned the topic to each other's equipment.

"Is this the camera from another world?" Rebecca looked at the camera in Wang Lu's hand and asked curiously, "Why can't I feel the magic circuit?"

"This is made by science, not magic." Wang Lu was also curious about the camera with magic circuits that Rebecca mentioned: "Are all Parnaki's cameras powered by magic?"

Rebecca nodded and answered Wang Lu's question without hesitation: "Cameras, video cameras, microphones... these are all miracles created by the great dwarf forging master Ducas Moss (Du Heng)!"

As she spoke, Rebecca showed Wang Lu how to use the camera.

He pressed the shutter button directly in the direction of the chef. The method used was not much different from the camera on Earth, but with a "click", a photo popped out directly under the camera.

Polaroid?

As soon as this thought came into Wang Lu's mind, Rebecca handed him the still warm photo.

Wang Lu looked down - the photo was taken casually without paying attention to the composition, so the picture was not very good-looking. But the magic of the photo was enough to eliminate the flaws in the composition. This was not a static photo, and the people in the picture were actually still moving.

A dynamic photo!

Although these photos are no different from videos shot with a mobile phone, they still gave Wang Lu a great shock.

The last time I saw such a magical scene was in the Harry Potter movie, but the pixel of the photo in his hand was obviously higher.

Strange, he had seen Parnaki's camera when he traveled through time, but why wasn't it as advanced as the one Wang Lu was using now? Was it a technology that appeared after he "died"?

"Then will the pictures in your magazines and newspapers also move?" Wang Lu said.

"certainly."

"Wow!" Wang Lu exclaimed: "It's amazing."

"Your photos won't move?" Rebecca asked curiously, not expecting that such a common phenomenon in Parnaki would shock Wang Lu so much.

"Well, it's not like it won't move, but we won't present it in the form of a piece of paper... Never mind, I'll just show you directly."

Wang Lu took out his mobile phone and shot a video. Then he opened Xyin's mobile editing software and showed Rebecca various editing effects.

Seeing the "photo" on the screen showing all kinds of magical effects under Wang Lu's fingers, and even a light touch could make fireballs appear in the sky, Rebecca's eyes widened: "How...how did they do this? I don't feel any magical fluctuations at all!"

"Of course you won't feel it." Seeing that Earth's technology shocked Parnaki's friend, Wang Lu was a little proud: "These are science! Science is... summarizing the laws of the world, and creating miracles that are the same as magic when there is no magic - in front of science, all beings are equal."

"Science..." Rebecca murmured, her eyes revealing a longing light.

...

Just as Wang Lu and Rebecca were discussing the differences and similarities between Earth and Parnaqui, the chef exchange conference in the square finally kicked off amid everyone's expectations.

In the VIP seats at the front of the square, Su Mingya sat obediently in a chair at the Queen's order, but her soul had already flown to the chefs on Earth, her eyes filled with desire.

From the depths of the Elf Forest, the most difficult to catch "Cloud Beast", "Fire Bird", "Gem Fish"... and marbled beef, free-range chicken, foie gras from Earth...

"It's not fair!" Su Mingya wailed, "We all live in this forest, why don't you tree demons have any restrictions on what you eat? Why should you, a plant, eat meat!"

Qiao Muyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The refreshing taste of the vanilla tea dispelled the afternoon fatigue and made people feel refreshed.

"I feel bad for the plants because of what you said." Qiao Mu said, "There are many carnivorous plants on Earth. What's more, we tree demons are neither plants nor fairies, but demons. We have a tradition of eating meat since ancient times."

Su Mingya glared at Qiao Muyu sadly, then turned around and chatted privately with Si Jishi.

"Si Jishi, please tell the Chinese chef that I want to eat vegetarian dishes with a meaty taste! Also, the elves can't eat dairy products, but the juice of the Para fruit is very similar to milk, so they can use it to make desserts. Oh, by the way, the fruits in the Elf Forest are great, and they are also good when coated with chocolate or made into candied haws..." Su Mingya said, and couldn't help slurping her saliva.

Si Jishi, the tour guide: "...You're ordering food now!"

"This is really important to me! Do you understand the pain I felt when I turned back into an elf?" Su Mingya said.

Si Jishi: "...Okay, okay, you wait."

He sighed slightly in silence, turned and walked towards Liu Xin, the team leader.

At this time, Liu Xin was having a headache facing a table full of strange ingredients from another world. He was thinking whether to give up the ingredients from another world or use a safer method and cook only with ingredients from Earth. Si Jishi's voice rang out at this time: "The elves are leading the meeting this time. The elves do not eat meat, eggs, or milk. Their taste buds are more sensitive than humans, so they can only eat light food. Fairies are similar to the elves. They also do not eat meat, eggs, or milk. They like nectar and fruits, but their taste buds are not as sharp as those of the elves. Tree elves eat both meat and vegetables, and their taste is not much different from that of humans. However, compared to heavy-tasting food, the tree elves prefer dishes that can taste the original flavor of the food. You can cook according to the Cantonese taste..."

Before coming here, Liu Xin had obtained relevant information about the tastes of these ethnic groups, but it was not as detailed as Si Jishi described. It only wrote about the foods they avoided.

Liu Xin and the chefs around him felt like they had found a treasure. They took note of the recipe and figured out how to cook it.

After Si Jishi introduced the tastes of each tribe, she did not leave. Instead, she pointed to the ingredients from Parnaki on the table and said, "This is a cloud beast. You can think of it as a sheep flying in the sky. It tastes a bit like mutton, but it doesn't have the fishy smell of mutton and is more delicious. It's just that the meat production is only one-third of that of ordinary sheep, and the taste of the meat is more like poultry. This is a fire bird. Its feathers are supported by flames, and its meat has a strong flame resistance. Ordinary flames cannot burn it. When the fire bird is alive, its body temperature exceeds 100 degrees. In a sense, this meat is already cooked. So in Parnaki, the fire bird is usually eaten directly after peeling and washing. This is a gem fish. Its scales are like gems, but it tastes like jelly, but it has no taste. In Parnaki, it is usually roasted or boiled in soup directly after removing the internal organs, and the phosphorus is not removed..."

After finishing the meat ingredients quickly, Si Jishi pointed to the fruits on another table and said, "This part of the fruit can be eaten directly, and this part of the fruit needs to be cooked to remove the remaining toxicity... This Para fruit, although its flesh is bland, its juice is similar to milk, but it cannot be whipped."

Si Jishi said this and pointed to the VIP seats: "Her Highness the Saint of the Elf Clan wants to eat desserts made from pala fruit, and imitation meat dishes made from earth ingredients, boiled beef, braised lion's head, Dongpo pork, etc."

Liu Xin, who didn't know that Su Mingya was a time traveler, exclaimed "Ah" and was a little dumbfounded.

He always felt that these races from other worlds were somewhat different from what he had imagined.

Shouldn't elves like flowers, fruits and dew?

Why is it still a heavy taste?

Although he was dumbfounded, with the support of Si Jishi's intelligence, Liu Xin now felt full of confidence.

Liu Xin is no stranger to cooking vegetarian dishes or meat dishes. In the past, when he prepared state banquets, he inevitably encountered some vegan guests. How to make vegetarian dishes taste like meat has always been his forte.

Squeeze the tofu dry and mix it with chopped mushrooms and carrots to imitate the texture of minced meat. Then add chopped water chestnuts, flour, a little ginger and scallion water, roll into balls and deep-fry in vegetable oil to set. Then season with vegetable oyster sauce, soy sauce, five-spice powder, cumin powder and other seasonings. Simmer for a while and you will have a pot of fragrant vegetarian braised lion's head.

In order to suit the taste of the elves, there is almost no salt in the seasoning, only a little bit of oyster sauce and soy sauce to increase the saltiness.

Liu Xin also made a separate meat version for other ethnic groups to taste. Two pots of lion heads that looked identical in appearance were placed in a casserole and simmered slowly over low heat. The fresh aroma spread in all directions with the help of the wind.

The elves were better off. They didn't like meat and had no liking for any food that tasted like meat. However, those who had no dietary restrictions were completely tempted by the aroma of the food.

How can it smell so good!

For the Parnaki people who lack cooking methods, the aroma of the food prepared by the chefs from Earth far exceeds their cognition.

Even those nobles who boasted of having tasted the finest delicacies from land and sea could not help swallowing their saliva and revealing greedy expressions.

Most of the chefs from the elves stopped what they were doing at this moment.

The elves' food cooking method is very simple, either boiling or grilling, relying entirely on the taste of the ingredients themselves. Most of the time, they just use fruits to fill their stomachs, and even the cooking steps are omitted.

They looked in the direction of the Earthlings with curious expressions.

"What are these people from another world doing?"

"Is that a knife? Why is it so weird, so flat and big... How can he cut things so fast!"

“Is this person carving flowers out of vegetables?”

"What is this white air? It looks like a cloud... How come when the cloud falls, the fruit in the bowl turns into ice? What kind of magic is this?"

"Are all the cooking methods of people from another world so fancy?"

"Wow, they are cutting meat! It looks so bloody!"

Fortunately, these words did not reach the ears of the Earth chefs who were busy cooking.

With the careful preparation of a group of top chefs, plates of exquisite dishes were served to the VIP seats.

In order to respect the eating habits of the elves, the first dishes served on the table were all vegetarian. After the elves had finished their meals, meat dishes were served to other races.

...

The Elf Queen looked at the dishes placed in front of her, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Is this... a vegetable? But why does it look like an exquisite flower pot?

As Su Mingya did not hide her anticipation for Earth cuisine, the Elf Queen could not help but become curious about these foods from another world.

But she didn't expect that the first dish served would completely shatter her imagination of the other world.

The bottom of the flowerpot is not covered with soil, but dried seaweed, which exudes a faint ocean scent.

On the seaweed, vegetables from Parnaki and the other world were mixed together, and the top layer was sprinkled with finely chopped nuts.

"It is recommended that you put multiple ingredients into your mouth and taste them together." The blond and blue-eyed chef from Northern Europe introduced to the queen.

These vegetables have small leaves, so you don't have to worry about not being able to eat multiple ingredients in one bite.

The Elf Queen did not reject the chef's instructions. Instead, she followed his instructions, scooped up the mixed vegetables with a fork and carefully put them into her mouth.

It is not as fresh and juicy as you might imagine. Some of these vegetables are baked, some are fried, and the tastes are different.

The sweetness and sourness of the vegetables form the basis of the taste, while the dried seaweed provides a light salty and fresh taste. The fried vegetables provide a crispy texture, and the chopped nuts make the salad more fragrant.

There is almost no seasoning, but it tastes full of flavor.

They are just vegetables, so how come they have such rich flavors when combined together?

The Elf Queen did not say anything, but silently quickened her eating pace and ate up all the appetizer salad in the flowerpot.

The Nordic chef in charge of the first dish silently clenched his fists in his heart, his eyes full of excitement.

The good start gave confidence to the Earth chefs waiting for their dishes to be served.

The second dish served was an appetizer prepared by the chef from Xiao Ri Zi. The Hericium erinaceus was lightly grilled over charcoal and then brushed with honey sauce to make a skewer-like shape.

With the appetizer salad as a prelude, the Elf Queen was full of anticipation for the dishes served by the Earth chef. She followed Su Mingya's example and picked up the skewer and took a bite.

It has a distinct texture when eaten. The chef said that its taste is similar to meat, but it only tastes like strong mushroom and charcoal aroma.

I don't know what ingredients the sauce is made of, but it has a strong aroma of sauce and the fragrance of some sour fruit. If you taste it carefully, you can also taste the umami flavor brought by some seaweed.

The third appetizer came from the chef from Thailand. It was a piece of red "paper" sprinkled with petals of various flowers, which looked beautiful like a painting.

"This is a soft candy made by mixing fruits from two worlds, drying and concentrating them. Please roll it up and enjoy it."

The queen nodded as if she understood, and followed the chef's instructions, rolling up the flowers with fondant and stuffing them into her mouth.

The initial fruit has a strong sour and sweet taste. The mixture of multiple fruits does not make the taste messy. After baking, the aroma of the fruit is more intense than eating it directly, mixed with the fragrance of multiple petals. One bite is like traveling through a sea of ​​flowers in spring.

Then several dishes were served. Each dish was prepared by chefs from a different country, with the unique flavor of that country, and each one was extremely delicious.

Soon it was time for the main course. Liu Xin, the Chinese chef in charge of the main course, took a deep breath and brought the first main course to the table.

Looking at the rich ingredients in the bowl, Su Mingya's eyes lit up. Before she could get excited, she heard Liu Xin say, "Vegetarian Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, please try it."

Su Mingya: “…”

Bai was so excited that he even forgot that this was a purely vegetarian meal.

She couldn't help but cast her eyes towards the audience. After finishing the dishes for the VIP area, the chefs began to busy themselves with serving dishes to the onlookers.

Since they have no dietary restrictions, cooking is much easier. In order to provide large quantities and serve meals quickly, the chefs did not choose the same dishes as those in the VIP area, and all dishes were mainly snacks and fast food.

Grilled cold noodles, egg fried rice, lamb kebabs, hamburgers, pizza...

Looking at the onlookers, they are almost going crazy with food.

"It's so delicious, how can it be so delicious!" Rebecca had a roujiamo in her left hand and a skewer of grilled gluten in her right hand. She was eating with her mouth full of oil and enjoying herself so much that she almost forgot her responsibilities as a reporter.

But no one despises his popularity - compared to others, he can even be called "elegant".

Not to mention Chinese cuisine, which is a country with a great food culture, even the country of Simida can make people crazy in Panaki, which has no cooking skills, with its rich seasonings. The poor land means that the agricultural products in Panaki are not abundant, and there is not enough food, let alone growing seasonings with the limited arable land.

It was after Class 9 crossed over to Parnaghi that the cuisine here was initially improved. But delicious food requires money, and basically only the nobles can enjoy it. This is why the half-baked food stalls launched by Su Mu can still attract the attention of the whole people in Parnaghi. It is really because the food that ordinary people eat is too bland, or "unpalatable".

...

Although I couldn't eat the grilled lamb skewers I had been craving for, fortunately Liu Xin's cooking skills were really strong. He combined the ingredients from Parnaki into his dishes, making this bowl of vegetarian Buddha Jumps Over the Wall taste even more delicious than the real version.

Vegetarian abalone made with shiitake mushrooms, sea cucumber made with konjac, vermicelli used as fish pond, white fungus cooked to a soft pulp, crisp and sweet snow peas... The rich taste brought by the rich ingredients, the golden soup made of a variety of mushrooms and pumpkin puree gives these ingredients an unimaginable rich taste. The mellow soup has a light aftertaste, and it is so delicious that you want to swallow your tongue.

The second main course, "braised lion's head", made Su Mingya almost cry. Not to mention the elves, who had never been exposed to the shock of thick oil and red sauce. The imitation meat taste brought by tofu and mushrooms was a very novel experience for the elves. It was not fishy like meat, but had the same delicious taste, and also had the unique fragrance of plants. The rich taste brought by a variety of seasonings was controlled by Liu Xin, and it would not be unacceptable to the elves who were used to light tastes. One bite, the mouth was full of sweetness.

The two main courses were so wonderful that the desserts served afterwards seemed a bit dull - it’s not that the desserts didn’t taste amazing, but the message that “the meal is over” was projected, which made people feel disappointed.

Fortunately, the delicious desserts made up for the disappointment. The sorbet made with liquid nitrogen was sweet and sour and refreshing, and the vegetarian pudding made with Parago was as good as the milk version. For the fairy who likes fruit, the sweet taste is better than the previous complicated dishes.

Just when everyone was still enjoying the meal, the vegetarian boiled pork slices specially prepared for Su Mingya were served. The vegetarian meat made of gluten, the vegetarian tripe made of konjac, enoki mushrooms, bean sprouts...all kinds of ingredients were very tempting under the background of red oil. The fresh, spicy and spicy taste made Su Mingya stare straight at it, and she almost cheered.

Boiled pork slices! She had been thinking about it for a long time!

Although it is a vegetarian version, it is satisfying enough to have a bite of the similar taste!

But before she picked up her chopsticks, several sharp glances fell on Su Mingya from all directions.

"Ya'er, this dish..." The Elf Queen stared at the big bowl in front of Su Mingya: "Why doesn't the chef share it with us?"

"Your Majesty, this is a dish specially prepared for me by the chef on Earth." Su Mingya protected the boiled pork slices in front of her and said vigilantly, "Don't you never eat such heavy-tasting food?"

Elf Queen: "......"

She pretended to be serious and said, "This is a culinary exchange conference between the two worlds. Everything is mainly about culinary exchange. Learning the cooking methods of other countries is the key point. Why should we care about personal taste?"

Su Mingya: “…”

But there was no time for Su Mingya to refute. Everyone in the VIP seats, including Qiao Muyu, had already stretched out their evil hands towards the boiled pork slices.

"Qiao Muyu!!!" Su Mingya watched helplessly as her special dish was taken away by others, and screamed: "Why are you, a meat eater, stealing my food!"

"At worst, I can give you half of my meat." Qiao Muyu answered frankly.

Su Mingya: "......"

The full basin became a small bowl. Su Mingya looked at the Elf Queen and Qiao Muyu beside her depressedly. She picked up a piece of vegetarian meat with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. Her eyes suddenly changed from depressed to resentful.

It would be nice to eat real meat.

Su Mingya chewed the vegetarian meat and thought: It's a pity that the current breeding technology of Parnaki is still completely incomparable to that of the Earth. If the breeding technology of Earth science can be added, perhaps those ingredients that are extremely delicious in the mouths of humans but taste fishy to the elves will become more and more delicious, until even the elves can't taste the strange taste in them.

"I've decided!" Su Mingya said loudly: "I want to open a breeding farm in Parnaki!"

Si Jishi/Qiao Muyu: "...You are a saint after all, can't your ambitions be a little more ambitious? "
