Understanding organic compounds

If you ask Su Mingya what is the most painful thing after becoming an elf, Su Mingya will answer without hesitation: food.

The elves have a keen sense of taste, and are ten times more sensitive to fishy smells than humans. They can also capture a wider range of flavors than humans. Compared to other races, the elves are naturally close to nature, and hunting animals is an extremely cruel thing for them - although the elves have always been flexible in their understanding of "cruelty". For example, killing monsters (animals) in the forest is considered "cruel", but they can kill a dragon without changing their expression.

——Later, Su Mingya realized that the existence that the elves felt was "cruel" was limited to all the lives in the "Elf Forest" where the elves lived.

For example, dragons, vampires, and humans.

However, as Su Mingya's status in the tribe became more and more important, she, who had been promoting the establishment of diplomatic relations between the elves and various countries and tribes (only Class Nine), also gradually changed the elves' views on the outside world.

Changes are changes, but diplomatic affairs involving the two worlds, such as establishing diplomatic relations with the Earth, are still under the responsibility of the clan leader. As a saint, she has no right to participate.

The elves have been living in seclusion for many years. This time they chose the "peace faction" because of Su Mingya's lobbying, but it does not mean that they are willing to cooperate directly with the Earth and establish diplomatic relations.

So far, the patriarch of the elves is still on the sidelines.

Therefore, Su Mingya went around in circles to find Sun Jingshu, the first person to establish diplomatic relations with China, and expressed her wish to her: Please hire a few reliable chefs from Earth to help the elves reform their cooking skills!

——Of course, Sun Jingshu would definitely not express Su Mingya’s request so directly, but chose the high-sounding reason of “Cooking Exchange Conference between Two Worlds”.

But no matter how high-sounding the excuse is, it cannot cover up the absurdity behind it.

At least that's what the Elf Queen thought after seeing the event plan submitted by the Chinese government to the Elves through the Linte Republic.

"You went through so much trouble just to find yourself a few cooks?" The Elf Queen saw through Su Mingya's conspiracy at a glance and went straight to her door.

Su Mingya's eyes wandered: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you are saying."

“Don’t interrupt me!” The Elf Queen tapped Su Mingya’s head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “Why are you so ridiculous! Only you can think of something like a cooking exchange conference!”

"Hey~"

“Don’t try to evade the question by being cute!” The Elf Queen sighed. “Don’t think I can’t see your little trick. You hope to use this method to get us in contact with the humans from another world, so as to promote diplomatic relations with them.”

Su Mingya: “…”

Actually, that’s not the case.

She thought silently: I just want to eat something good.

Su Mingya was not worried at all about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the elves and the Earth. The elves were always stubborn, and they would only change their minds after they could clearly see the benefits. Therefore, Su Mingya had no intention of forcing it from the beginning, but simply waited for the Linte Republic and other countries of the ninth class to undergo earth-shaking changes, and then let the elves see the results of establishing diplomatic relations.

The elves have a long lifespan, and ten days or ten years make no difference to them.

But food is different. It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

After experiencing the baptism of Earth's delicacies, Su Mingya returned to the elves, and she could not accept the elves' bland and simple diet for a day.

——Mushrooms, fruits, nectar, dew.

The recipes full of old-school Mary Sue style make Su Mingya, who is used to Chinese cuisine, live like an ascetic monk.

Even though the fruits and nectar tasted quite good due to the influence of magic, no matter how delicious they were, you would get tired of them after eating them for 500 years. Moreover, these delicacies were not much different from the expensive ingredients carefully cultivated on Earth through multiple selections.

But the elves, who were used to these foods and never tried foreign food, did not think there was anything wrong with their own diet, nor did they think that anyone would make a big fuss over a bite of food.

"Ya'er, I know you are an elf with many clever ideas, and I never worry about the mistakes in your decisions." The Elf Queen said sincerely: "You are different from other elves in the tribe, and different from every saint in the past. We all believe that the elves can move towards a better future under your leadership..."

"Stop, stop, stop, Your Majesty!" Su Mingya hurriedly stopped the queen from speaking: "I appreciate your kindness, but I don't have these ideas!"

Don't pretend she doesn't know. This sentence, just like "You are the worst class I have ever taught", is what every elven queen will say to her saint, and then her heir will tell the next heir.

Because of their long lifespan, the reign of each queen of the elves is calculated in thousands of years. Even the most responsible queen can easily get bored with such a long job. Therefore, when the heir comes of age and can inherit the throne, the queen will find ways to give the throne to him.

But Su Mingya is not a fool. Even though the work of the Queen of the Elf Tribe is much easier than that of other countries, she is responsible for the entire Elf Tribe. Sometimes she also has to worry about other races living in the Elf Forest. She also has to accept the real-time supervision of the Elf Tribe's old stubborn elders. There are a lot of things that need to be paid attention to.

It's not that Su Mingya is unwilling to contribute to the elves, but her status as a saint is enough to promote many plans, and she doesn't have to face too much work, especially not facing the elders. Compared with the queen, she is much more relaxed and free.

Faced with Su Mingya's repeated rejections, the Elf Queen didn't say anything, but just felt a little regretful.

She let Su Mingya succeed her as queen not just because she wanted to get rid of her identity as queen.

As the most gifted saint since the birth of the elves, Su Mingya's excellence involves all aspects, not just in magic. Her ingenuity and her vision are different from those of previous elves. She has a tolerance that elves never have. She can look at every race with equal eyes and get along with them without any grudges.

These qualities were not seen in the elves in the past. The pride engraved in the bones of the elves was fundamentally aimed at protecting the purity of the elven bloodline.

Elves were born from the Tree of Life. They cannot give birth to offspring themselves, but they can give birth to hybrids with other races. A race that cannot give birth to pure blood will eventually die out if it is not strictly restrained.

But the times have changed. If the elves continue to stick to their old ways, they will only be left behind by the world. The elves need someone who can look at the world and lead them into a new era.

It’s a pity that the fallen flowers are affectionate but the flowing water is merciless.

The queen let out a regretful sigh and could only give up the idea for the time being. However, she couldn't help but become curious - what kind of food could make their saint so interested in it?

...

"Everyone, please look out the window. You are now in Sandwich. This is the only city in the Elf Forest that is open to outside races to enter and live in. It is also the largest trading city in the Elf Forest."

On the bus carrying chefs from all over the world, the tour guide held the microphone and talked.

"Sandwich means 'friend' in the language of the elves. Everyone who comes here will become a friend of the elves. But if you commit a crime here and violate the elves' trust in their friends, these vengeful elves will retaliate against the criminals until they are dead!" The tour guide wore traditional Parnaki-style clothing, but spoke authentic Chinese.

The foreign chefs were not worried about not being able to understand. Before getting on the bus, the young man who claimed to be a "time travel guide" cast a special magic on them. All languages ​​would be directly converted in their minds into the language of their own country.

This kind of magic is equivalent to installing a translation machine for everyone. Although it is impossible for them to learn foreign languages ​​directly, at least in terms of communication, everything becomes extremely convenient.

"The avenue we are walking on now is called 'Elf Avenue', which is the main road across Sandwich. On the left is the largest market in Sandwich, and on the right is the only college in Sandwich founded by the elves and allowing admission to all races. Walking along the end of the avenue is our destination - Sandwich's largest square 'Kalinda'. It is named after the builder of this city, Her Highness the Saint of the Elf Clan..."

The tour guide obviously had a human appearance, but he knew everything about the elves and could talk about it fluently.

After his introduction, the chefs on the bus looked around with amazement at the buildings that had a classical atmosphere and combined with natural beauty.

Little did they know that they, sitting in the high-tech bus, had become the most special people in the eyes of all the residents on the street.

"Is this a carriage?"

"How can a carriage be so big?"

"I can't see the monster pulling the cart at all. How on earth is it running?"

"Could it be a magical beast made of iron? Look, its butt is still blowing air!"

"Maybe a new magic item?"

"Impossible! I don't feel any fluctuations of magic power!"

"Look! There's someone in its belly!"

There were some brave citizens who wanted to rush up to meet this "monster". Fortunately, because they were in the city and in a different world without any technology, the driver did not dare to drive very fast, and kept driving slowly at a speed of 30 or 40 miles per hour. Faced with the sudden intrusion of citizens, he also had time to step on the brakes and honk the horn to urge them to drive away.

"Oh my god, it just barked! What a terrible sound!"

"It really is a monster!"

"Where are the guards? Where are the guards? How could such a terrifying monster be allowed to break into the city?!"

There were also some tough folks who rolled up their sleeves and rushed forward, wanting to fight the steel beast for three hundred rounds, but they were quickly stopped by the guards who arrived.

"Don't be impulsive! This is not a monster!"

The guards looked at the bus's receding back with curiosity, and helplessly explained to the citizens gathered around them, "This is a means of transportation for people from another world. It's a car."

"Car? But I don't feel any magic."

The guards who had received training in advance said, "It is not powered by magic, but by drinking a kind of oil."

"Oil? Can cars in another world consume oil?"

"That's really weird."

"Another world? Is it the upside-down world in the sky?"

"What are those people from another world doing here?"

"Do people from the other world also use magic?"

The guards were overwhelmed by the questions. They waved their hands quickly and said, "We don't know either. We heard that they came here to exchange culinary skills."

"Cooking exchange?"

"They came all the way here just for cooking?"

"Are things from another world delicious?"

"Nothing is more delicious than the fruits of the Elf Forest!"

"I just saw it. The one above is a human. Human food is always brutal and unpalatable!"

"......"

“Stop, stop, stop!” The guards quickly stopped the endless questions. “They will be holding a public cooking exchange event at Kalinda Square this afternoon. If you are curious, you can go to the square to watch. I heard that you can also taste their food.”

With the guards' propaganda, the news that people from another world were going to hold the first World Culinary Exchange Conference with the elves at Kalinda Square spread to every corner of Sandwich. Even outside Sandwich, many people heard about this event and went to Sandwich to watch.

Having just experienced the war between the pro-war and pro-peace factions, the people who stayed behind now were curious about the other world and had no hostility. Even if they still had the intention to invade, they did not dare to act rashly under the warning of Team Nine.

Just like the Earth today, Parnaqui is always the hottest topic. In Parnaqui, the Earth in the sky is also the hottest topic.

Although Parnaqui does not have an information network as developed as that on Earth, thanks to the publicity and popular science provided by magazines and newspapers in Zhao Yaya's hands, the people of Parnaqui gradually came to understand the Earth.

For this event, Zhao Yaya's newspapers and magazines sent a large number of reporters to film, interview and report. The Earth Party would naturally not miss this event. Media from various countries are now preparing to go to Parnaki under the arrangement of their countries.

Under the gaze of countless curious eyes, the first truly joint event between Earth and Parnaqui officially kicked off.
