FVN Chapter 43 Preparing the Sous Vide Filet Mignon
Chapter 43 Preparing the Sous Vide Filet Mignon
[Host, this filet mignon is cut from the smaller end of the Grade Five Cloud Spotted Cow's tenderloin. It was given this name due to the moving cloud patterns on its black fur, which allows it to float. Due to the lack of needing to use its legs to walk and the lack of stress, the meat is tender, marbled with fat, and filled with Mana.
If not for the restriction placed on the Cloud Spotted Cow, which prevents them from reaching above Grade Five, this Magical Beast would be one of the best sources of beef.] The System explained. Toward the end, it spoke in pity, lamenting the fact that such a great Magical Beast had to be restricted. If not, it would be akin to A5 Wagyu for Mages.
Lucian raised an eyebrow and suspiciously asked:
[Why do I feel you are insinuating something? System, if you have something to say, just say it.].
The System chuckled.
[Haha, the Host is wise.]
After a moment, the System continued:
[From my knowledge, this species of Cow only exists in Arcadia's Drakonoia Continent where most Magical Beasts live and thrive. It produces excellent quality beef. However, as the Host is already aware, all Magical Beasts have a Grade limit that cannot be broken."
Lucian nodded. He had an inkling of where this was going, causing his eyes to slightly light up. If his guess was correct, it would be revolutionary. He would be breaking the Universal Laws.
The System continued:
[As the future Transcendent Chef, how can the Host be limited by mere laws and rules, even if they were created by the Universe? To help the Host bypass the restriction placed upon all Magical Beasts, the Spatial Farm was created. The only downside is that the Host must acquire Magical Beasts on his own and then rear them inside the Spatial Farm. The System cannot provide Magical Beasts!]
Lucian was silent as he pondered what the System said. He did not know the first thing about how to rear Magical Beasts. Let alone Magical Beasts, he had not reared even regular animals before.
However, regarding the so-called uselessness of the Spatial Farm, his viewpoint changed completely.
Without wasting a second, the System solemnly replied:
[Of course, the System learned from the best.]
Lucian was speechless, understanding the System was talking about himself.
With a shake of his head, Lucian grabbed a vacuum sealing bag from beside the sous vide machine and placed the filet mignon inside with a fresh sprig of Weeping Willow Rosemary, the clove of Hellfire Garlic, and a tablespoon of Cloud Spotted Cow Butter on top of the filet mignon.
After vacuum-sealing the bag, Lucian placed the bag beside the sous vide machine.
With the steak prepared, Lucian frowned as he thought about the next step.
[System, can't I use regular water for the water bath?] Lucian asked the System.
The System replied:
[Although a water bath is used simply to cook the food inside a vacuum-sealed bag. The vacuum-sealed bag given to the Host by the System is special and has the ability to absorb the Mana from the Mana Water into the bag. This will make the food within the bag even richer in Mana.]
After hearing the System's explanation, Lucian nodded. That information was not included in the set of memories he previously received.
Lucian walked to the fridge and opened it. His eyes were immediately drawn to the large container of Low-Grade Mana Water.
By his estimation, Lucian believed the water would be a couple of dozen pounds heavy. This was why a chef needed to be strong.
Carefully, he placed both hands on either side of the container and effortlessly lifted the container up. If he did not have the constitution of a Dragon, it would not have been so easy.
