The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 564 Dragon Naming Science

"He does seem quite approachable."

Moran already had a picture in his mind.

The dragon servant named Zhuoshe was diligently contacting her to arrange the chef's evaluation time.

Knottak suddenly ran over, coming up with a new idea every now and then, making no attempt to hide his anticipation for the high-class gourmet witch.

Anyone with a modicum of dignity wouldn't do something like this.

"Just tell him that you can stay with me."

"Although he wasn't as enthusiastic as I was at first, he still gave me a cookbook," Vasida said.

Moran nodded and sent Vasita's address.

In less than three minutes, the copper bell outside the courtyard was rung.

Moran and Vasita went downstairs together and opened the door.

Outside the door stood a blond, overweight man. The moment he saw them, his eyes locked onto Moran.

"Are you the high-class gourmet witch Moran?"

Moran nodded.

In fact, with her memories of Earth's culinary civilization and her top-tier cooking magic, it's no problem for her to call herself a top-tier gourmet witch.

However, for an ultimate foodie like Knottak, who knows every top-tier gourmet witch like the back of his hand, the sudden appearance of one would be too eye-catching.

Calling her a high-class gourmet witch is enough.

"Welcome to Delicious Island! I am the eternal ruler of endless feasts, the supreme gluttonous ruler of Delicious Island, the conqueror of spices and lava, the arbiter of the seven seas' palates, the creator of the golden fried rice law, the apex predator of the food chain, the insatiable gluttonous king, the honorary lifetime president of the Dragon Clan Gourmet Association, the protector of chefs and food... Klotak!" Klotak introduced himself with a smile.

Even though Moran had read a book called "Dragon Naming Science" and knew about the dragons' amazing naming system, he still paused for a moment when he heard Knottak's name before adjusting his expression and smiling as he said:
"The eternal ruler of endless feasts, the supreme gluttonous overlord of Delicious Island, the conqueror of spices and lava, the arbiter of the seven seas' palates, the rule-maker of golden fried rice, the being at the top of the food chain, the insatiable gluttonous king, the honorary president for life of the Dragon Clan Gourmet Association, the protector of chefs and food... Mr. Klotak, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I call you by your original name from now on?"

When Moran recited his full name in one breath for the first time, Knottak was so surprised that his droopy eyelids opened wide.
"Of course, do you know my full name?"
That really surprised me.

I am 3,500 years old this year, and every time I meet a new friend who is worth my attention, I will politely introduce myself by my full name.

However, ever since I have more than ten legendary names, no one has been able to say my full name on first meeting.

People are more accustomed to calling me by my original name, "Klotak," than my legendary name.

After all, I've lived for too long, and my legendary name is too long. Some of my legendary names weren't even obtained in Valencia, and not many people in Valencia know about them.

"Have you read my latest book, 'The Deliciousness of the Dragon'? And you even remembered my full name?"

Seeing Klotak's expectant eyes, Moran recalled for a moment: "I'm sorry, I haven't actually read the book you mentioned. I just memorized your full name."

"!!!" Klotak could hardly believe it:
"My mother is the guardian of the Blazing Sands, the endless dialogue, the caravan nightmare, the fastest talker in the three realms, the lord of desert echoes, the compiler of the Brass Codex, the ultimate authority on lame jokes... Igniva, can you repeat that?"

"The Sound of Scorching Sands, the Guardian of Endless Dialogues, the Nightmare of Caravans, the Fastest Speaker in the Three Realms, the Lord of Desert Echoes... Igniva," Moran finished in one breath.

Klotak finally believed it: "This is incredible! I can't even remember my mother's name completely."

“???” Vasita looked puzzled. “Then what was that just now…” “I just made it up,” Klotak said.

Moran: "..."

"Miss Moran, is it convenient for you to conduct the chef level assessment now? I can't wait."

Knottak smacked his lips: "I bet your cooking skills are just as amazing as your memory!"

“I hope I won’t disappoint you later,” Moran said.

“Let’s do it here! I have plenty of space here,” Vasita said seizing the opportunity.

Upon entering Vasita's obsidian house, Moran took out his portable kitchen card and invited Mr. Klotak and Vasita to sit in the kitchen's built-in dining area, serving them some tea.
"Please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

Klotak is a judge, and the first dish she prepared for the chef's assessment was a savory original dish that the brass dragon loves.

Moran used the magic learned at Dawn to open the card shop and exchanged for four types of cards: {Material Card - Emperor Sand Scorpion}, {Material Card - Salt Crystal Ore}, {Material Card - Sandworm Oil}, and {Material Card - Yellow Sand}.

As soon as the cards were redeemed, Klotak couldn't sit still, as if he had thorns in his side, and moved closer to Moran:

"Are these all ingredients for cooking? What kind of dish are you planning to make? And why is there yellow sand in them?"

"What I'm going to make is a desert salt-baked giant scorpion; the yellow sand is used to help with heating," Moran explained simply.

“Salt-baked? Heated with yellow sand? What kind of method is this?” Klotak asked again.

Although Blue Star Food Cards are very popular among the many food cards in the Dawn Academy, the recipes for various Blue Star cuisines are only circulated among the witches.

It's perfectly normal that Klotak didn't know about salt baking.

While Moran meticulously processed the Emperor Sand Scorpion using slaughter magic, he explained to Klotak what salt baking was.

As soon as he figured out salt baking, he became interested in her choice of ingredients:

"Why choose the Emperor Sand Scorpion? They have venomous tails and their meat isn't very good. Compared to the Emperor Sand Scorpion, I think the Deep Sea Giant Scorpion is more suitable for consumption."

Klotak already had a lot of experience when it came to food.

He tried the taste of all ingredients, regardless of whether they were conventionally considered food.

"The meat of the Emperor Sand Scorpion is rather dry, but that's because the toxins have accumulated on its tail. With proper processing and the addition of sandworm oil, its salty and savory flavor can be brought out to the maximum," Moran said.

She also learned about the method for dealing with the Emperor Sand Scorpion from a witch's travelogue written before the Age of Gods.

After trying it, it really did have the effect of turning something rotten into something magical.

Moran's butchering tools dismembered the Emperor Sand Scorpion.

Discard any unusable internal organs.

The crab tail, still attached to the venom sac, is cut off entirely. A large bottle of antidote is injected into the venom sac, and then the treated venom is drained from the crab tail to soak and marinate all the scorpion meat.

After soaking for ten minutes, all the crab meat is put back into the cleaned scorpion shell, the gap is sewn up, sandworm oil is brushed on, salt crystals are coated, and then it is buried in a heated yellow sand pit for braising.
