Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Gourmet Atlas

"Read more books whenever you can."

"!"

Bai Junjun was just about to scoff at his arrogance, but when she saw the book in her hands, she immediately fell silent.

She casually opened it and glanced at the contents, only to be dumbfounded. The book’s exterior seemed plain, with its rough paper, but the inside was incredibly luxurious, filled with brightly colored illustrations.

Each page featured a dish, not only with pictures of the finished product and instructions but also with cooking precautions.

In short, it was a cooking reference book that one could immediately learn from!

Bai Junjun forgot about retorting to Li Wenli as she relentlessly flipped through the colorful pages, voraciously salivating over the recipes within.

The Mystic Turtle Base had given her several cookbooks, but those were merely text-only, handwritten copies, not originals.

To Bai Junjun, those books were as incomprehensible as the Classic of Mountains and Seas. The dishes in them were like the Ancient Divine Beasts – all extinct, with no clue as to what they looked like, let alone how to cook them.

But this book was different. Not only were there pictures of the finished dishes, but even the ingredients were illustrated, and the methods included step-by-step diagrams. As long as one followed the pictures to find the raw materials and then followed the cooking process, even a fool could learn.

In The Apocalypse, besides fuel energy, books and knowledge chips were the most valuable.

After all, humanity had endured too many shocks over more than six hundred years of The Apocalypse. In the years of fleeing for survival, much had already been obliterated in the past, and people had lost much of their heritage and civilization.

For instance, a dictionary seemed so routine during one’s school days that no one found it particularly remarkable. However, as people grew up and dictionaries were shelved away, there came a day when one wished to write something but couldn’t remember how to spell a word. In times when phones and computers were unusable, one’s only hope was to refer to a dictionary. But, when you needed it most, you’d find it had already gone missing in some bygone time, utterly irretrievable.

As a result, that word was destined to be forgotten, and then, lost.

The same was true for human civilization. By the time people realized, many books and scientific achievements were gone.

That’s why Bai Junjun understood the value of this book even more.

Cookbooks might seem trivial, but who could say for certain that one day The Apocalypse wouldn’t return to normal?

When that time came, wouldn’t this book become a guide to amassing a fortune?

She hadn’t expected Fox to be so generous as to lend her this book.

Bai Junjun looked at Li Wenli strangely, reminded of a weasel paying New Year’s greetings to a chicken.

Li Wenli, seeing through Bai Junjun’s thoughts, couldn’t help but hold his forehead, "I just wanted to show you how to make salt-baked quail eggs. Go ahead and turn to page 302."

Bai Junjun did as she was told and turned to page 302, where indeed she found the recipe for salt-baked quail eggs.

She was taken aback. Had this guy actually memorized the entire book?

No wonder he could cook so many different dishes!

Li Wenli laughed, "We have a lot of contaminated salt. I think we could take the opportunity to try making salt-baked Man-eating Eagle. What do you think?"

Bai Junjun instinctively flipped through several pages but didn’t find the recipe for salt-baked Man-eating Eagle.

Li Wenli laughed again, "Although there’s no recipe for salt-baked Man-eating Eagle, I figured we could follow the one for salt-baked chicken. The taste should be similar, right? We don’t have Salt-Baking Powder or Coarse Salt, so we’ll have to make do with the salt we have and create a knockoff version. It doesn’t really matter anyway since what we have isn’t chicken but eagles."

The two of them didn’t hesitate, immediately dragging the eagles towards the pond.

Then, when no one was around, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli started working with their Special Abilities.

One got a large wooden pot, the other used water to encase the big eagle, then scorched the outside with fire. Once the Man-eating Eagle was scalded, Li Wenli used Wind Blade to strip off its feathers.
