Chapter 684 Tasting the Dishes, and Incidentally Testing for Poison

Feeding the three little ones was something Song Yi was willing to do, so he certainly didn't find it troublesome.

Using low-level monster meat as an ingredient was intentional on his part. One reason was that he had a larger stock of low-level monster meat, but more importantly, he wanted the three little ones to help him taste the dishes, so of course, the more he cooked, the more they would eat.

That's right. While feeding them, Song Yi was also constantly changing the seasoning ratios. Some of the seasonings that tasted great were still toxic even after processing.

All the food cooked with these seasonings can be tasted by the three children, and three sets of feedback can be obtained. This will help Song Yi find a suitable balance so that the dishes can be both delicious and effective, as well as safe to eat.

Song Yi only dared to do this because the three little ones were physically strong enough. On Blue Star, he could only taste the dishes himself and dared not let others help him with such a task.

So when Bai Bai first took the lead in finding him, they reached an agreement before proceeding with the subsequent events.

"I'll go to the control room first, and we'll have dinner when I come out."

"Uncle Song, you join us too. Don't spoil Bai Bai and the others. Make them another glass of juice; this meal is over."

After finishing her sentence, Su Mo hurriedly walked towards the control room. The shuttle was moving very fast, and she needed to adjust the route as soon as possible.

Song Yi wanted to explain, but his words were cut off. He looked down and exchanged a glance with the three little ones. Okay, let's call it a day.

While Su Mo was adjusting the flight path, Song Yi placed two sets of three dishes and a soup on the long table. He and Su Mo couldn't eat together, as Su Mo wanted to eat dishes cooked with high-grade demon beast meat, which he couldn't handle.

With the food in his hands, Song Yi had already put aside what had just happened and started thinking about the insect meat.

Insect meat dishes are not uncommon on Earth. Not only chefs, but also ordinary people can prepare insect meat at home as long as they have seen the processing methods published by the association.

But the chefs have different standards; they want to make delicious insect meat for sale, so they are more particular.

Song Yi had certainly studied insect meat as an ingredient, but the results were not ideal, and he could not find a better way to cook the tender meat extracted from certain parts of the insect's body.

For him, producing something that was no different from what other chefs made was a failure. But now he had obtained a new batch of herbs from Su Mo, which gave Song Yi a new inspiration.

If some of the poisonous herbs were used in cooking insect meat, there might be some unexpected surprises. He would definitely want to try it, but before that, he needed to prepare the necessary seasonings.

He didn't have any more insect meat, but the big black ball had just revealed that Su Mo had a lot of insect corpses in stock, all freshly collected during the insect extermination operation, so he should be able to extract quite a bit of insect meat.

Although I know the principal must have a purpose in collecting these things, if he asks for some, the principal should give them to him, right?

The principal has never tasted the insect meat he cooked.

Su Mo set out her route and came out to find Song Yi already sitting at the table waiting for her.

Su Mo sat down at his food table and saw the chubby guy lying next to his plate, who had stretched himself out. He was speechless. The "caterpillar" was lying there with a slight bulge in the middle, and he wondered how much the guy had eaten that he hadn't digested yet.

Bai Bai was much more normal, sitting upright on the stool next to him. The big black ball didn't go on the table; it was on the ground next to Su Mo's stool.

"Let's eat. Have they finished their juice?" Su Mo asked casually.

Song Yi nodded and explained to Su Mo what raw materials were included in the complex fruit and vegetable juice he made.

He concluded, "Principal, the vines you brought me this time are really useful. After drying and grinding them into powder, adding just a little bit can greatly improve the taste of food."

"It's just that it's a bit toxic. I'm still adjusting how much fruit juice to add to achieve a balance so that neither is wasted."

Su Mo listened to him while eating, and nodded in agreement.

She did indeed give Song Yi three kinds of poisonous herbs and their corresponding antidotes, instructing him to use them as he saw fit. Green vine was one of them, along with blue hibiscus and bitter thorn.

With Yuan Qi's guidance, Su Mo easily knew what antidote to use, but Su Zhou was not precise in this regard. If an ordinary person accidentally ingested a poisonous herb and knew how to detoxify, they would take a large amount of antidote for fear that a small amount would leave residual poison. Those who were capable of using the appropriate antidote pills generally had very high efficacy.

Although the outcome was positive and the poison could definitely be cured, it was still a waste. However, the people of Suzhou did not see any problem with it.

Compared to Suzhou, Earth, with its small territory and scarce resources, is different; it tends to be more shrewd and calculating.

In truth, Su Mo didn't collect many poisonous herbs, both in terms of variety and quantity. Because they were poisonous, Su Mo only kept them in a jade box and didn't try to cultivate them in his space.

The reason she can offer so many to Song Yi now is because her previous experiment using the ash of the poisoned insectoids was very successful. She found a shortcut to cultivating poisonous herbs. As long as there is enough poisoned ash, she doesn't need to use her space; she can just choose any secret realm to cultivate a large number of useful poisonous herbs.

Seeing that Song Yi was about to continue the conversation and explain his analysis and ideas on the use of the new materials to Su Mo, Su Mo immediately changed the subject and asked, "Have they not come out at all?"

She also pointed to the room on the right.

The chubby guy lying on the table answered first, "No, it's just a few of us here."

“Yes, they haven’t come out.” Song Yi nodded.

"Ten people? It'll be hard to allocate them if they live so cramped," Song Yi guessed.

Su Mo only asked the question to end the previous topic, and once he achieved his goal, he didn't pursue it further.

"Let them be. They'll come out when they're hungry. We'll just eat our own food."

Song Yi realized that the principal was only interested in his final product and not in how he made it, so he stopped talking and quietly started eating.

The white tail swept past Su Mo casually.

"MoMo, it's so boring here. Didn't you say you were going to get us that StarNet terminal? Did you get it yet?"

The experience of riding the shuttle was almost nonexistent and not fun at all.

Su Mo paused, picking up food with his chopsticks, and asked, "Shouldn't you be focusing on preparing for Core Formation right now? There's no rush to go online."

She had already received the monster-specific equipment she had applied for; it was among the supplies Huang Zhiguo had given her to take with her.

After receiving the notification from the association, Feiyue Technology immediately arranged for people to do this. It must be said that Feiyue Technology's technical staff are very capable. In less than two days, they adjusted and modified a special version of the equipment suitable for use by monsters.

They delivered five finished products, which were not shaped like wristwatches, but rather several jade pendant-style terminal devices for the convenience of the monsters.
