Chapter 225: 137. Sea-Embracing Russian Soup_3
Moreover, there's a 100% chance of no errors.
Hiss... Chen Che revealed his doubts and asked the system.
Fortunately, the system was not indifferent and gave Chen Che a definite answer.
After getting such a response, Chen Che was ecstatic but noticed the sentence that followed.
The special nature of some ingredients prevents the Borscht from replicating abilities... Could it be similar to the Demon Catastrophe Potion?
After all, if a tube of Demon Catastrophe Potion is blended into the soup, and others who drink it can summon demons, it would be heaven-defying.
The system also provided an answer.
It seems the ingredients that embrace the sea should be carefully considered.
According to the system's explanation, a single Borscht can only integrate one special ingredient at a time.
Unless his Food God Level increases to a higher level, possessing stronger Food God Power, he can accommodate more special ingredients in one Borscht.
Currently, his Food God Level is only at level ten.
This path seems to be long and arduous.
However, for Chen Che now, it's already quite practical.
With a smile on his lips, he buried himself between An Nishang's jade neck with some excitement, greedily savoring the fragrance, leaving another red mark on her snow-white neck and collarbone.
Seeing the marks he had kissed onto her pale skin, Chen Che's lips curled with pride — a unique stamp of his own.
These kiss marks on An Nishang's body have never been scarce in recent days.
An Nishang also noticed Chen Che's little intention — he was declaring his territory to others.
Like a lion guarding its land.
Occasionally, she found it amusing; she had clearly treated Chen Che as a male consort, yet sometimes it seemed she was his plaything.
Chen Che hugged the woman's slender waist, rested his head on her soft chest, and closed his eyes to relax.
His consciousness had already entered the Food God Space.
He began learning to cook Borscht!
In the Food God Space, it was as clean and empty as ever.
The ingredients for cooking Borscht are available.
[Sea-Embracing Borscht:
Main ingredients: brisket, spine, thigh bone from the Black Flame Bull, butter made from Black Flame Bull's milk...
Additional ingredients: onion, potato, carrot...]
"Whoa, these ingredients are quite precious!"
Chen Che rubbed his chin, gritting his teeth slightly. He had heard of the Black Flame Bull, a mutated wild bull living in the desert west of the Ninth Special Zone.
It likes to graze on Fiery Cactus and search for Black Flame Rocks along exposed lava to munch on.
This Black Flame Rock is exceedingly hot, and when ground into powder, it can create an explosive effect.
These mutated wild bulls swallow it into their stomach, using their powerful gut to turn it into powder.
If attacked, they spit out large amounts of black rock powder from their mouth and nose... commonly known as spitting fire!
A bull that can spit fire.
This creature can grow over two tons heavy, with immense strength, and can reach a running speed of 60 kilometers per hour, making it an outstanding beast.
Even the bloodthirsty creatures in the safety zones dare not provoke the Black Flame Bull too much.
The horns on its head are especially hard, effective for stopping bleeding and used in medicine.
Its stomach lining can be used to make bulletproof vests, not only exceptionally lightweight but also able to withstand sniper bullets after special processing.
On the wasteland, it is a treasure where danger and opportunity coexist.
As for its meat, it's incredibly tough and chewy; even after stewing for over ten hours, it's still like rubber, so not many people are fond of it.
Unless one is exceedingly hungry, no one chooses to eat the Black Flame Bull's meat.
However, it's said that high-level Blood and Flesh Catastrophe buyers specifically purchase the meat of Black Flame Bulls; their powerful digestive abilities can break down the meat to enhance their physique.
Thus, the price of beef is also remarkably high.
But with the right connections, Chen Che can still get it.
The hardest to obtain is its milk... milking this creature is as challenging as reaching the sky.
Only by successfully killing a Black Flame Bull can you milk it safely.
It's a bit of a headache.
But it's still doable.
Chen Che decided to start by learning to cook.
He first cuts the brisket into pieces, melts butter in the pot, sautés it, then adds onion and potato to fry until soft, and as the aroma fills the air, he adds boiling water and the bull's spine to stew.
As the flames burn and the broth churns.
The greatest challenge of this dish is to use Food God's power to soften the meat, releasing the flavors within the beef, and ensure all the ingredients meld together to form a thick Borscht.
This process demands extreme focus.
Just like alchemy in fantasy novels, a brief lapse could ruin the entire pot of soup.
A whole night's time, six hours, means a full 600 hours in the Food God Space.
Chen Che finally stewed a perfect pot of Borscht.
Gazing at the thick, red Borscht before him, Chen Che was deeply moved.
The scent of onion pervaded it, with potato stewed to a mush, thickening the broth, and tomato adding a sweet and sour taste while bay leaves enhanced the flavor.
With one unique ingredient, the broth took on an enticing redness — beetroot!
Not only enriching the taste but also elevating the food's flavor and color to a higher level.
The sticky thick soup, a spoonful in the mouth, released an unparalleled flavor of richness and smoothness.
This made Chen Che squint his eyes in enjoyment, relishing the rich mingling of beef oil, beef bones, and beef in his mouth.
The mix of complex ingredients created a unique richness, an essence of the entire Borscht.
The many and varied ingredients intertwine in the mouth, weaving an exhilarating storyline.
Before adding the special ingredient you wish to incorporate, this spoonful of Borscht is just a simple Borscht, with its sole distinction being the deliciousness that makes one crave!
Chen Che let out a long breath, his lips curving into a deeper ambition!
