New dishes (lower)

The sixth dish is apple pie.

It's crispy and you can hear the sound of your teeth biting through the thin skin.

It's crispy. After biting it, you will find that the crispy crust is not just one layer of crispy crust, but is made up of layer upon layer of crispy crust. Every piece of crispy crust that falls off is surprising because it is so thin.

The sweet, slightly sour fruit flesh is wrapped in a light yellow sauce with just the right sweetness. This fresh combination is surprisingly suitable.

"What kind of sauce is this?" Earl Barnett asked curiously.

"This is yogurt. Like cheese, it is a product of fermented milk. The only difference is the specific production process. Yogurt cannot be stored for as long as cheese. It can only be stored for a few days." Elena explained as simply and appropriately as possible.

Lord Barnett took another bite and said, "It tastes very good."

It seems that he really likes the taste of yogurt. Elena smiled and said, "If you like it, I will give you a can of yogurt."

Earl Barnett smiled with satisfaction and asked, "How can the wrapper of this burrito be made so thin? Is there any trick?"

Elena smiled: "There is no trick, just practice more and do it more, your hands will become more skillful, and you will be able to make such a thin skin." Nonsense, of course there is a trick, but how can I tell you casually, do you think you can get something for nothing without paying tuition?

After hearing this, Earl of Barnett stopped talking. He probably thought that making thin crust was very simple. As long as he gave the order, the chef of the Earl's Mansion would be able to make it.

The seventh dish is roast duck wrap.

This is another big dish. After eating two light-flavored dishes, the roast duck is not greasy at all, but just right.

Several large trays were brought up, each containing a shiny roasted duck.

Slicing duck is a technical job. The chef of the Viscount's Mansion has good knife skills and can master it with more practice. However, all his time is spent on practicing making these ten new dishes. He has no time to practice slicing duck. Elena is also worried about letting the chef force himself to do it. If the slices are not evenly thick, the guests will laugh at him.

Elena might as well do it herself. It's just a piece of cake. She can use wind blade technique.

"Everyone, please allow me to cut the duck meat." Elena stood up and said with a smile.

Lord Barnett and the guests looked at her curiously.

Elena looked at the roast ducks on the table and raised a finger.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up in the restaurant. The guests subconsciously closed their eyes, and some of those with more combat experience even took defensive postures.

But soon, the strong wind became gentle and gradually dissipated.

The guests' attention was focused on the roast duck again. "Eh, has anything changed?" No change.

Earl Barnett saw it clearly, and his eyes were even more appreciative: "Elena, your mastery of Wind Blade Technique is even better than I expected."

Elena accepted it with a smile, lifted her skirt and saluted: "Thank you for the compliment."

Then Elena clapped her hands.

The servants brought out pancake wrappers, cucumber shreds, carrot shreds, sweet bean sauce, and minced garlic, and placed them in front of the guests one by one.

Then, the leading servant picked up a pair of clean, unused knives and forks, removed the sliced ​​duck meat from the roast duck, and placed it neatly on the plate.

The guests were surprised that the duck meat had already been cut?

Earl Barnett asked, "Elena, what are the levels of your elemental affinity and elemental control?"

Of course it's the maximum level. Elena really wants to say this proudly, but unfortunately, she is just a level 20 novice now. Her academic qualifications are even lower. She is just an intern apprentice. Converted into the level in the game, it is only a level 10, the kind that will be chased and beaten by the rabbits in the novice village.

Elena could only shake her head and answer: "I just practiced a lot, there's nothing special about it. Your Excellency, this roast duck wrap is a new way I came up with to eat it, please try it."

Earl Barnett took the pancake rolled by the butler with a smile and took a bite: "Hmm, quite interesting." He said quite interesting, but he didn't know whether he was referring to the roast duck pancake or Elena.

The eighth dish is fried meatballs.

This fried meatball is somewhat similar to the previous shrimp meatball. Both are made by chopping the raw materials into a paste and then shaping them into meatballs. However, the raw material of this dish is pork, and more seasonings are used than shrimp meatballs, so the taste will be richer.

Earl Barnett bit into the meatball, and the first taste he tasted was the salty aroma of the sauce. Then, the firm pork popped open, and the rich meaty aroma spread in his mouth, and the salty and meaty aromas mixed and overlapped in his mouth.

"What kind of meat is this?" asked Earl Barnett curiously.

"Pork," Elena replied.

"Pork? Is this really pork?" Earl Barnett looked incredulous. "Is this really pork?"

Elena nodded slightly: "Yes, it's pork."

Lord Barnett forked up another meatball and put it into his mouth, squinting his eyes and savoring it carefully.

There really isn't that nasty smell.

"How did you make it? How did you get rid of the stinky smell?" Earl Barnett asked anxiously. This dish really overturned his cognition. How could pork not smell bad?

Elena winked playfully: "Secret."

Pork in this world is just a second-rate product in the nobles' recipes. Although it can be served on the table, it usually only appears in daily life. If you are entertaining guests, pork will never be used because pork has a bad smell, and it is a smell that cannot be removed no matter how you handle it.

When Elena put the fried meatballs on the menu and was about to serve it on the banquet table, the chef and the old butler almost knelt down and begged her not to ruin the reputation of the Viscount's Mansion.

Elena insisted on her own way and forced the chef to make the fried meatballs according to her requirements.

The chef was literally crying while cooking.

However, when the finished product was ready, the chef and the old housekeeper tasted it and then they quieted down and stopped making noise.

The pork here does not taste as good as the pork before Elena traveled through time. After all, the pigs in that time and space were the result of breeding and improvement of various high-quality pigs, and they combined the excellent genes of various pig breeds. Not only did they taste good, but they also grew fast, grew strong, and were not prone to illness.

Although they cannot compare with the pigs of that time and space, the pigs here are not so bad that they are inedible. Although the pork has a fishy smell, the smell can be removed by using several deodorizing methods.

Ultimately, it’s because the culinary skills in this world are not sophisticated enough.

With the cooking help book from the game system, Elena could easily get it.

Hearing Elena say it was a secret, Earl Barnett couldn't help but laugh out loud: "What a clever little ghost."

The main courses were served, and the next dishes were the more refreshing stuffed winter melon and steamed pumpkin.

Stuffed winter melon is a dish that Elena likes very much. Winter melon and meat complement each other and can also help with weight loss and benefit the spleen.

Steamed pumpkin also has good therapeutic effects and can lower blood sugar and blood lipids.

Both dishes are good, but for men who prefer strong tastes and like meat and fried foods, these two dishes are a bit too bland.

On the contrary, the ladies like these two dishes very much. It can be said that they dare to let go and eat with confidence only when it comes to these two dishes. The reason is very simple. The main ingredients of these two dishes are vegetables, and they are not fried foods, and no cream or butter is added. You don’t have to worry about gaining weight after eating them.

After a sumptuous banquet, the guests returned to their rooms to rest contentedly.

After personally escorting Earl Barnett to the guest room, Elena turned around and met Viscount and Viscountess Walshi, her uncle and aunt.

"Elena, you did a great job today. Your uncle is really proud of you. If Elro and Joyce could see this, they would definitely be proud of you too." Viscount Walshi smiled kindly and generously, not sparing any praise.

Elena smiled sweetly: "Thank you, uncle."

The Viscountess stepped forward, took Elena's hand, and handed her a small, long-necked glass bottle with half a bottle of red wine in it: "Elena, you've been tired all day. Go back and have a good sleep. Drink this bottle of recovery agent before going to bed. This was specially sent back by your cousin Brook from the royal capital. I heard that only 1,000 bottles are sold a year, and most of them have been reserved before they leave the warehouse. Brook spent a lot of money to buy only 5 bottles. Your uncle has been reluctant to drink it, so now he is giving it to you." There was a hint of boasting in the Viscountess's words.

Is this a restorer? Not wine?

Elena looked at the half-full bottle of liquid in her hand and turned it around. The liquid swirled in the bottle, but it didn't have the thick feeling that a recovery agent should have. Instead, it felt like water.

Are the recovery agents here different from those in the game?

Although she was confused, Elena still thanked him politely: "Thank you, uncle, thank you, aunt."

The Viscountess smiled and patted her hands: "Good girl, we are family, no need to thank me."

After saying goodnight to her uncle and aunt, Elena returned to her bedroom with the recovery potion.

Under the magic lamp, Elena looked at the glass in her hand.

The recovery agent was specially sent back from the royal capital. Only 1,000 bottles are sold each year, and most of them have been pre-ordered before they even leave the warehouse.

Elena raised her eyebrows and casually cast an identification spell.

"Intermediate Restoration Potion, +300."

A red bottle with only +300 damage is considered an intermediate-level recovery potion? Isn't that the amount of a small bottle? An intermediate-level potion should at least be a medium-level bottle with +500 damage, right?

Elena complained about the low quality of the recovery agent while putting it into the cabinet.

But halfway through, an idea suddenly came to her.

If recovery agents are so expensive and so popular, wouldn't it be very profitable for her to open a pharmacy?

Elena's eyes suddenly lit up.
