At this moment, Xiao Yeyu was tearing off the bandage, revealing the white part at his fingertips; the wound had already healed.
"bite--"
Ling Yunxi, who was listening to the lecture, suddenly heard the system's voice in her ear.
"Xiao Yeyu's aversion value -2, current total aversion value is 91."
Ling Yunxi turned her head and glanced at the beast beside her.
Sensing that someone was watching him, Xiao Yeyu quickly put his hand under the table.
I looked up but found nothing.
"Anything else?" the beastmaster asked, scanning the audience below.
Just then, I saw Xiao Yeyu look up.
"Xiao Yeyu, you answer."
"You also need to be careful when handling ingredients. You can't accept ingredients with parasites or those that are not normal..." Xiao Yeyu raised an eyebrow and answered confidently.
Yu Guang, however, was unconsciously observing the reactions of the females beside him.
It seemed as if they were expecting something.
"Very good, the answer is very comprehensive. It seems you have mastered it. Next lesson will continue with cooking," said the beast master on the stage.
"Many foods can be eaten directly, but some need to be cooked twice. Does anyone know why?"
"So that it'll be cooked until it's soft and tender!" one of the orcs replied.
The beastmaster smiled but remained silent.
"To kill the bugs on top, then wash them off and boil them again..."
The beastmaster shook his head.
"..."
"Beastmaster, what is it all for?" a beastman asked.
The beast master initially wanted to answer directly, but then remembered hearing other beast masters' evaluations of Ling Yunxi in previous classes.
He asked, "Ling Yunxi, do you know?"
"What could she possibly know?"
Disdainful murmurs rang out from the audience.
"I heard that she was fed by her stray animal father since she was a child. Later, she found an animal husband, and he served her the whole time. She has never cooked for her."
"Pfft... It seems even the Beast Master dislikes her and is shouting on purpose."
Many people were ready to see her make a fool of herself, including those few orc mission members.
Ling Yunxi stood up, and all around her, mocking gazes were fixed on her, waiting to see her unable to answer.
"Some ingredients need to be boiled twice. The first time is called blanching, which means boiling briefly. The main purpose is to remove harmful substances from the ingredients and improve their taste and color."
Ling Yunxi answered calmly.
"Some vegetables contain high levels of oxalic acid, which reacts with calcium in meat. If you cook them directly without blanching them, it will inhibit calcium absorption and may even lead to the formation of kidney stones."
“What is all this nonsense…” skeptical voices arose from the surroundings.
Ling Yunxi continued, "Some foods contain toxins, and blanching can break down and destroy these toxins."
"Some of the orcs were right earlier. Blanching can kill parasites in food, thus ensuring its safety."
"Hmm..." the beast master nodded.
He didn't quite understand some of what Ling Yunxi was saying, but his answer was impeccable.
Thinking she had finished answering, I was about to speak.
Ling Yunxi continued, "For some vegetables that are difficult to clean, blanching can also effectively remove impurities that are hard to clean."
"For some meats, such as bones and offal, blanching can remove blood and odor, improve the taste, and reduce subsequent cooking time."
“Beastmaster, that is my answer,” Ling Yunxi said.
"Where did she hear all this from? Could she have made it up herself?" one of the orcs questioned.
The beast master nodded repeatedly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "That's a very good answer... That's why some ingredients need to be cooked twice."
"Everyone remembers it."
“I understand…” the orcs replied reluctantly.
The beastmaster continued the lesson: "Um... next we'll talk about what kind of food needs to be boiled twice..."
"I didn't expect her to be able to answer it."
A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yichuan's originally fierce eyes as he stared at her retreating figure with a complicated expression.
Xuan Yize, sitting next to him, touched the scar hidden under his hair with his fingertips—it had faded considerably compared to two days ago.
"She seems different from before."
He looked up at her with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, and the annoyance in his eyes unconsciously dissipated a little.
"Is that so?" Jiang Yichuan sneered, his sharp gaze fixed on Ling Yunxi, who was concentrating on the lesson.
"What's the difference?"
But then I noticed that she was reflecting a different kind of light in the morning sunlight.
Although she still looked ugly, her overall aura made it easy for people to overlook her unattractive appearance.
"bite--"
Ling Yunxi, who was listening to the lecture, suddenly heard the system's voice in her ear.
"Xuan Yize's aversion value -2, current total aversion value is 98."
"Jiang Yichuan's aversion value -1, his current total aversion value is 98."
"How did she know that..." came the questioning voice of the orc beside her.
Mo Yanche looked up at Ling Yunxi, who was listening attentively to the lesson.
Since she stopped bothering him, Mo Yanche felt more relaxed than ever before.
But a new, strange feeling also arose in my heart—it seemed as if something was empty.
Yes, how did she know all that?
He knew some ingredients contained toxic substances, but what were the ones she was talking about?
Mo Yanche frowned. "What is oxalic acid? What is calcium?"
She couldn't have made all of this up, could she?
But why didn't the supervisor refute it...?
"Fat woman, you're quite the con artist. Oxalic acid, calcium, what kind of nonsense is that?" Xiao Yeyu twirled the quill pen in his hand, a sneer revealing his sharp canine teeth.
"Hmph..." His voice was low and hoarse, "You dare to spout nonsense about things that even beast masters have never heard of."
