The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Chapter 197 Dishes for Restoring Physical Strength

Jiang Yan's movements were slow but extremely precise. Each pat was just right, allowing the seasonings to penetrate perfectly without damaging the meat's fibrous structure.

The meat chunks, which originally needed to be marinated for several hours to fully absorb the flavor, were patted by Jiang Yan and were stained with a light green color in just a few minutes.

The sweetness of the tree fruit and the complex aroma of the seasonings have been completely integrated into the natural sweetness of the sea monster meat, the three blending together perfectly and becoming one.

Once the marinating process was complete, Jiang Yan turned to look at the battlefield not far away.

Just now, Akainu's Meteor Volcano landed, and many cooled and solidified rocks were scattered around. One of them was the perfect size and texture.

He retrieved it, took out the Melk cleaver, and with a few swift strokes, the irregular rock block was shaved into a smooth, evenly thick stone slab with a surface as smooth as a mirror.

He placed the prepared stone slab on the counter and gave the Charizard beside him a look.

Charizard immediately nodded in understanding, opened its mouth, and used the Ember skill.

The orange-red flames shot out precisely, steadily enveloping the entire stone slab.

Charizard has perfect temperature control for the Spark skill, maintaining a stable flame temperature that is neither too high to crack the stone slab nor too low to reach the high temperature required for cooking.

The blazing flames licked at the stone slab, and the originally gray-black slab quickly began to heat up, its color slowly changing from gray-black to dark red.

The air around the stone slab began to distort due to the high temperature, and even from several meters away, one could feel the sweltering heat.

Jiang Yan reached out and felt the temperature above the stone slab to confirm that it had reached the ideal temperature for frying. He then picked up the marinated sea monster meat and inserted it into the skewer with a specially made thick skewer.

With a gentle flick of the wrist, the entire piece of meat landed steadily on the scorching hot stone slab.

"Sizzle—!!"

A crisp, oily sound exploded out.

The fat and collagen in the meat melt and boil instantly when they come into contact with the scalding hot stone slab, with fine oil bubbles jumping wildly around the edges of the meat.

An intensely rich aroma of meat, like a tidal wave bursting forth, erupted at that moment.

This aroma is so overpowering and so tempting.

The intense sweetness of sea monster meat, combined with the delicate sweetness of tree fruits, the complex aroma of seasonings, and the perfect balance of flavors from high-temperature searing—

The aroma of the burnt meat blended perfectly, instantly dispelling the surrounding smells of gunpowder, blood, and burnt meat, spreading in all directions of the battlefield.

The marines and pirates who were fighting to the death, whether they were soldiers wielding swords or users unleashing their abilities, all paused subconsciously for a moment.

His nose twitched uncontrollably, and his gaze involuntarily drifted towards the direction from which the fragrance was coming.

It should be noted that since the start of the war, they have been engaged in a highly tense life-or-death struggle, resulting in extreme physical exhaustion.

Now, suddenly smelling such a rich and tempting aroma of meat, it's like someone who has been thirsty in the desert for three days and three nights suddenly seeing a sweet spring, and their mouth instantly fills with saliva uncontrollably.

At this moment, everyone's stomachs began to rumble.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!"

"Was it coming from over there? From that guy cooking?"

"Are you crazy?! Frying meat in a place like this?"

"6

,

Various sounds rang out across the battlefield, causing many marines and pirates engaged in combat to frequently glance at the scene.

However, Jiang Yan was completely absorbed in cooking and paid no attention to the stares and discussions from the outside world.

Staring intently at the pieces of meat on the stone slab, watching the side that was in contact with the slab, the tender pink meat quickly turned into an enticing golden brown, the fat at the edges curling up slightly and bubbling with fine oil.

Once one side is cooked to perfection, forming a perfect crust, gently flip it over with the skewer, turning the meat over smoothly to the other side.

With another crisp "sizzle," the fresh meat on the other side touched the scalding hot stone slab, continuing to release its captivating aroma and oil.

Jiang Yan patiently flipped the meat pieces until all four sides were a beautiful caramel color and the surface had a slightly crispy crust.

And the aroma of the meat is brought to its peak during this process.

Confirming that the meat was crispy and golden brown on the outside, yet tender and cooked to medium-rare on the inside, Jiang Yan put the meat back on a clean plate, removed the skewer, and let it sit for a few seconds to lock in the juices.

Then, he picked up the Melker knife, placed the blade on the fried meat, and cut into it.

First, the crispy outer crust appears, then the blade smoothly cuts into the tender meat inside, dividing the entire piece of meat into two equal pieces.

The moment it was cut open, glistening juices gushed out from the cut surface, dripping down the edges of the meat.

Jiang Yan looked at the meat inside; it was a beautiful light pink, like cherry blossom petals. The fat and collagen had melted, forming a jelly-like jelly, creating a striking contrast with the crispy, caramelized outer shell.

Jiang Yan picked up one of the pieces and handed it to the impatient fire-breathing dragon next to him.

The Charizard quickly lowered its head, carefully took the piece of meat with its claws, opened its mouth, and eagerly took a big bite.

The crispy outer skin made a crisp "crunch" sound in the fire-breathing dragon's mouth, followed by the hot and tender meat, and the abundant meat juices burst out.

Charizard's eyes lit up instantly, a satisfied growl came from its throat, and the flames on its tail suddenly became even brighter and stronger than before.

It swallowed the whole piece of meat in a few bites, and the Charizard licked its paws with lingering satisfaction, staring longingly at the remaining half on the counter.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but smile as he looked at it.

"This is mine."

As he spoke, Jiang Yan picked up the remaining piece of meat and eagerly took a bite.

The first thing that touches your teeth is the crispy, golden-brown outer layer; a gentle bite produces a soft "crunch."

The crispy outer shell cracked open instantly.

The skin has a perfect balance of salty and savory flavors, and the complex flavors of the seasonings spread layer by layer on the tongue, perfectly complementing the ultimate freshness of the meat itself.

The meat inside is so tender that it melts in your mouth with almost no chewing.

The scalding hot juices, carrying the unique sweetness of manta ray sea monster meat, flooded my mouth and spread wildly throughout my oral cavity.

It has no fishy smell at all, only pure and ultimate freshness, mixed with the sweetness of tree fruit, weaving a wonderful flavor on the tip of the tongue.

The gelatinous substance melts slowly in your mouth, creating a soft, sticky texture that becomes more fragrant the more you chew.

As you swallow, a warm, soothing sensation rises from your stomach and flows through every corner of your body.

Standing on the back of the Charizard, maintaining a "circle" position and constantly observing the movements of the entire battlefield, seemed easy, but actually consumed a lot of energy.

Now, after this warm current flowed through me, the previous fatigue vanished instantly, my sore muscles relaxed and comfortable, and I felt as if I were soaking in a warm spring.

I became full of energy and had inexhaustible strength.

"The effect is quite good."

Jiang Yan swallowed the meat in his mouth and nodded in satisfaction.

This dish was actually an impromptu attempt.

Jiang Yan had been working on improving the formula of Pofen, hoping that Pofen from the Pokémon world could be effective on the bodies of ordinary humans.

It certainly did achieve some results.

However, we haven't had time to study Pokémon Cubes in depth yet, as their absorption efficiency is very low when consumed directly by humans, which would greatly reduce their effectiveness.

However, Jiang Yan suddenly realized that if Pokémon cubes were used as a seasoning and incorporated into the ingredients, and then cooked to make these energies easier for the body to absorb, the effects of Pokémon cubes could be perfectly brought out.

In retrospect, his attempt has been a great success.

The stamina recovery effect of this piece of meat is better than eating ten Pokémon Cubes, not to mention, it is also incredibly delicious.

So Jiang Yan pressed on, taking out several pieces of processed manta ray sea king meat and the remaining green stamina-restoring Pokémon cubes, and quickly marinated, pounded, and fried them following the previous steps.

One after another, fragrant pieces of fried meat were neatly arranged on the plates next to them, the aroma growing stronger and stronger, even wafting into the depths of the battlefield.

Even Fleet Admiral Sengoku on the execution platform couldn't help but frown and look this way, not understanding what this man who suddenly appeared, Jiang Yan, wanted to do.

In fact, if the Warring States period had known the purpose of these pieces of meat, they probably wouldn't have just stood by and watched.

Dishes that can restore stamina have a significant impact on combat.
