Chapter 222 The Spirits Processing Ingredients

"Beep beep..."

"Thump~ thump~ thump~"

As time passed, less than 10 minutes had gone by. A few seconds after a few car horns honked, there were several knocks on the door.

Meanwhile, Aunt Xiaomi's cheerful kappa wisely gave up playing and walked happily toward the door.

"Lotte~LotteLotte": Who are you? What are you doing here?

As it spoke in Elvish, it tilted its head to the left.

"Haha, hello Lucky Kappa! I'm the supermarket manager. The food you just ordered has been delivered..."

"Who is Lucky Kappa?"

Before the manager could finish speaking, Aunt Xiaomi's voice rang out from behind it.

“Madam Wu, it’s me. The ingredients you just ordered have arrived. Let me have the workers bring them in.”

"Oh, Manager Wu, then have someone move it to the kitchen."

Their brief exchange immediately drew the attention of everyone in the room.

After all, the arrival of the ingredients also means the hot pot is about to start.

A short while later, three men dressed in supermarket employee uniforms appeared, each carrying a large bag of groceries. Led by Rakuten Kappa, they carried the groceries to the kitchen one by one.

Uncle Xiao, who had stopped chatting, immediately took out his bank card and handed it to Manager Wu, who was observing the workers from the side.

In no time, the workers who had finished tidying up had gathered outside.

"Thank you so much for your support of our supermarket. Please feel free to call us next time you need to order groceries."

While speaking, Manager Wu took out many business cards from his suit pocket and handed them to everyone present.

"Okay, Manager Wu, I'll call you directly next time."

Having finished the greetings and expressions of gratitude, Manager Wu tactfully led the workers back the way they came.

Out of curiosity, Xuan Mingtian focused his attention on the business card.

The sign read: Elf Life Supermarket, Wu**, Phone: 139********, the supermarket specializes in…

The business card, besides the supermarket name, manager's name, and phone number, listed various specialty product names; it was almost dizzying to look at.

Then Xuan Mingtian casually put the business card into his pocket and said, "Guys, the ingredients have arrived. Anyone want to come help me in the kitchen?"

"I……"

"I……"

"I……"

……

As soon as Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, several voices rang out.

This includes the trio of future elf gourmet Xiao Gang, Chen Qianqian, Xiao Qingmei, and Huang Shih-hu.

However, Xuan Mingtian spoke up again, saying, "Brother Huang and the two Song brothers, you are guests, and there is no reason for guests to help here. Moreover, there are specific techniques for cutting meat and making broth for hot pot. If you want to learn, you can watch from the side."

He remained silent until he spoke, which immediately extinguished any thought the three might have had of helping.

However, the three of them didn't feel that Xuan Mingtian looked down on them because of this. After all, they had never heard of hot pot before, so they could only nod in agreement.

Before long, Xuan Mingtian brought his friends and elf companions to Xiao Gang's open kitchen.

At the same time, an idea naturally arose in his mind: "Xiao Gang is now a multi-millionaire, it seems I have to make him tear down and rebuild his house. Otherwise, when more people come next time, his house will definitely not have enough space. Hmm~ that's decided."

Upon arriving at the kitchen, they found Aunt Xiao and her daughter-in-law already preparing ingredients.

As a pregnant woman, Aunt Xiaomi certainly enjoys the highest privileges today. Therefore, she is currently lying comfortably in the living room, which was at Aunt Xiao's insistence.

Xuan Mingtian was extremely satisfied with the variety of ingredients.

The most important thing is to ensure freshness. Look at that beef; it's still twitching and trembling right now, it's really...

There were also seafood, river fish, and so on. The variety and quantity were more than enough for everyone and the elves to eat tonight.

"Garlic, go to my backpack and take out the Seed of Miracles, hot pot base, and fresh broth base. Also, get two half-and-half pots and a portable gas stove. We'll have two tables tonight."

"Miao~Miao Frog": OJBK, meaning very smart.

"Little cutie, use your telekinesis to clean those tripe thoroughly."

“嘤～嘤～嘤～”: Good, very clever.

"Potian, slice this pile of beef and mutton. Little one, go and mince this pile of fish, squid, pork, and beef into a paste..."

With each person having their own task and humans and elves working together, the work becomes less tiring.

In the small courtyard, the spirits of Xuan Mingtian, Xiao Gang, Yang Bin, and Chen Qianqian have already mastered the art of preparing ingredients.

The slices of meat cut by the master cleaver were uniform in shape and thickness, a testament to his unparalleled skill. The little one's meat was reduced to a pulp by his hammering technique, a move that struck with deadly precision.

The little cutie's control over telekinesis has reached a state of perfection. Garlic Head's ability to retrieve a backpack using a vine whip has also reached the basics.

It can be said that each elf has its own unique characteristics.

However, Huang Shih-hu, Matsushita Mu, and Matsushita Kuda were initially bewildered upon hearing about tripe. Now, watching the elves prepare the ingredients, they were even more incredulous.

Unable to contain his excitement, Huang Shihu couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xuan, this... this is tripe? What is it? And shouldn't elves be training properly? What are you doing here..."

"Haha, this tripe is the omasum of a cow, don't underestimate it. Tripe is rich in nutrients such as protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron, thiamine, riboflavin, and nicotinic acid. And after cleaning it thoroughly, you can cook it in a hot pot with a spicy broth, the taste will definitely make you want to come back for more."

"And what you said about the elves wanting to be trained? That's not necessarily true."

Upon hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, Mao Du nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know why the other party would eat beef tripe, he figured it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

However, when the topic turned to Pokémon, Huang Shihu and the other two shook their heads, seemingly puzzled. They simply didn't understand—shouldn't a trainer's Pokémon be trained and battled diligently?

"Don't understand? Well, I'll teach you today. Look at Potian, it's a flying mantis. Its characteristic is its twin blade arms, and to train it well, you have to control the force, speed, distance, and so on when you strike. Look at it."

While speaking, he made sure the three of them watched as Potian cut the meat.

But the next second, Po Tian's speed in slicing the meat shocked the three of them.

In less than 30 seconds, a rectangular piece of beef, weighing about 1 kg, has been sliced ​​into thin slices.

The three of them quickly picked up the slices of meat and compared them one by one, or two or three pieces at a time.

They watched for a full minute, their mouths agape wide enough to fit a goose egg.
