Chapter 2 Synthetic Table-Level Cooking

Baggins?

Bilbo Baggins?

Levi was stunned.

Could this be such a coincidence?

After solving the case, I just said that the wooden box looked familiar.

Isn't that his mother's dowry box?

hiss--

Levi looked at Bilbo.

The poor hobbit had no idea what was about to happen to his family.

He didn't know that his mother's trousseau box would be used by some dwarf in the future.

At this moment, Levi suddenly had a bad taste.

He stood at the door again and saluted: "Levi, at your service."

This sentence means that he is officially visiting.

As if he didn't expect Levi to come out suddenly, Bilbo was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously adjusted his clothes and replied: "Bilbo Baggins, at your service."

After completing this action, Levi bent over and stepped into this cozy cave house again.

It has to be said that perhaps all Hobbits are a bit of a camp rat. Levi could see a lot of food and drinks stored deep in the house at a glance.

This is enough storage for 13 dwarves to hold a banquet, which is quite a lot.

"Levi, you can find a place to sit first. Afternoon tea is at four o'clock. Although it's not here yet, I don't mind eating early. By the way, what do you like to eat? How about fried sausages with some bread?"

Hobbits don't show their hospitality for nothing.

Even though the arrival of Levi, the guest, was somewhat unexpected, when he arrived at home, Bilbo still showed the enthusiasm of an acquaintance.

"Of course, it's okay. Guests and hosts are welcome, just listen to you." Levi nodded.

"As guests wish, host? Okay."

Bilbo scratched his head and took out a bunch of sausages and a plate of bread stacked on top of each other from the warehouse.

Then, under Levi's watchful eye, he cut the sausages and placed them next to a frying pan.

While the fire was going on and the pot was being heated, Bilbo stepped away a little to get some other things.

Levi couldn't help but be curious. He stood up and moved closer to observe the small stove.

It's a very ordinary small stovetop frying pan, but the countertop is a bit short, and it's a suitable height for hobbits.

"Are you interested in cooking?"

Suddenly Bilbo's voice came from behind, and Levi stepped aside knowingly, letting Bilbo stand in front of the hot pot and start working.

"This pot is quite old. My family has been using it. It is a good pot."

Stab——

Put the sausage into the pot, splashing a little bit of oil.

There was a slight silence for a few seconds. Seeing that Levi did not speak, perhaps feeling that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Bilbo looked at the sausages frying in the pot, put his hands on his hips and said again:

"Speaking of which, I am somewhat confident in my cooking skills. Whether it is frying, roasting or boiling... I learned this from my mother."

Saying this, Bilbo turned the sausage over again.

The other side is browned and exudes an attractive meaty aroma.

Gululu…

Levi's stomach growled unsatisfactorily.

Gudong.

Levi swallowed.

After a while, Bilbo finally put the fried sausage on the plate and sprinkled a little pepper.

Just when Levi couldn't help but stand up and ask himself if he could eat one first, suddenly, a reminder appeared in front of him.

[Unlocked function: synthesis table]

[Learned [Recipe] Branch Recipe: Fried Sausage]

[You can check what you can make at any time, and the synthesis table will be dynamically updated based on the items you come into contact with. ]

Um?

Synthesis table! ?

Snap.

A plate of sausages was placed in front of Levi, interrupting his thoughts.

"I guess you've been hungry for a long time."

Bilbo is still so considerate.

"Thanks."

Levi said something, and the moved tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his mouth.

Then, the plate was cleared in a few bites.

The time was so short that Bilbo didn't even have time to walk back to the stove.

The hunger level has been restored by two bars (ten bars in total).

"Bilbo." Levi suddenly called: "Can you let me try it? I mean cooking."

Bilbo was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Levi to make such a request.

"Oh, yes, um... of course, please do."

Bilbo stepped back and got out of the way.

Levi immediately bent over and stood by the pot. Just when he was holding the handle of the pot and felt a little confused, a teaching prompt box appeared.

[Cooking steps: Select recipe-prepare ingredients-lock tools-start cooking]

Normal cooking is definitely a technical job, there are always many steps, and it also requires the chef to accurately control variables such as heat and saltiness, but for the systematic Levi, this is just a complicated version of the furnace, and everything is as long as Just follow the steps.

Zila——

Put the sausage into the pot.

Levi stood quietly in front of the frying pan, as if nailed to the spot, without even a slight breath shaking his body.

He looked as if he was in a daze.

Seeing that the sausage was about to turn brown, Bilbo, who had been watching the movement here, was about to open his mouth to warn him, but he saw Levi's arm shake and the pot tipped, and the sausage inside turned over accurately.

Expert!

Bilbo couldn't help but admire in his heart.

Is this man a professional cook?

Not sure, let's have a look.

Wow——

After a while, he turned it over again, and a piece of golden-colored grilled sausage, shiny and exuding heat, rolled into the plate. However, this was not the end. At the end, Levi ground a little more finely crushed salt powder evenly. Sprinkle on top.

The fine salt melted on the sausage with the heat.

The two flavors merged into one.

For some reason, just looking at this sausage, Bilbo couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

[Cooking is over]

"Sorry for the wait."

Levi brought the plate to Bilbo.

Bilbo tried to cut the sausage, and saw a white mist coming out of it, with the center just the right sense of maturity.

Take a bite.

Swish——

The aroma of meat, seasoning and a little bit of melted salt exploded in the mouth. Even though the temperature of the sausage just out of the pot was quite high, it scalded Bilbo's tears, but this stubborn Hobbit couldn't bear to open his mouth to release the aroma and heat.

The maturity and taste were so perfect that it was almost impossible for a human to make it. The little bit of salt added just blended the slightly light taste of the sausage. A little change greatly enriched the taste level.

Perfect!

All of a sudden, the hobbit's eyes widened, he stood up on the spot, and pushed his chair back several steps.

Bilbo, stand at attention.

"Mr. Levi, I swear, this is the most delicious fried sausage I have ever eaten in my life!"

"Thank you." Levi nodded, not quite understanding why Bilbo reacted so strongly.

In his habitual thinking, isn't the food produced by this system similar to pre-made dishes?

However, in fact, technology has never been a bad word...

"No, Mr. Levi, this is not an over-praise. I'm serious. I've eaten this kind of sausage for many years, but today seems to be the first time I've eaten it. It turns out that it can be so delicious!"

"Oh?"

Levi raised his eyebrows and found a hint of unusual meaning.

Really? Let me try.

Zila——

A few more sausages came out of the pot and were served on a plate.

Levi took a bite.

Levi took another bite.

Levi put down his knife and fork calmly, smiled and nodded at Bilbo.

However, the corners of his mouth could not stop twitching.

I'm so, so delicious!!

Is this something I can make?!
