The two famous wizards Wizarding World watched Mo Fei explain at the door of the kitchen. This alone made him very excited in a different way.

"First of all, I think there is no need to explain too much about Muggle's regular seasonings. Many of them are to remove the fishy smell in the meat as much as possible. In fact, any meat that we Muggle can come into contact with can remove most of the odor by just cleaning, removing blood, and marinating. If some special details are added during the cooking process, it will be even more perfect... The little bit of smell left in the end will become the embellishment of the dish..."

"But I have processed the meat of magical creatures before. Perhaps the meat here contains magic power. To a certain extent, it is more difficult to process than ordinary meat..."

"It's not that the fishy smell inside will be heavier, but the blood and smell are more difficult to remove. They will stay in the body for a long time after death..."

No wizard knows more about what Mo Fei said than Nicolas Flamel.

Alchemy makes magic props by making use of these residual magic reactions. Based on these residual magic powers, they will purify, refine, and sublimate them, so that they become their final appearance.

Now he can also understand Mo Fei's thinking. As Muggle, if you want to eat meat, you need to let this magic residue dissipate, otherwise the meat itself will not be so easy to be bitten by teeth and digested by the intestines and stomach...

"Of course, for you wizards, it may be a wasteful act to directly remove all magic power. Therefore, I have developed some special methods to loosen the dense magic resistance through massage..."

"In this case, the fishy smell inside and the spices outside can be exchanged to make the final product more delicious..."

"So, Muggle's seasoning is not important. Ms. Perenelle's seasoning is already excellent, there is nothing superfluous at all..."

"Then let's talk about the magic materials I use. It's also because of the characteristics of the magic materials themselves. Later, I began to discover that using some special magic plants might be able to stimulate the characteristics of the ingredients even more like formulating Potions..."

"Because of this, I started to try to match it, but I didn't expect that the final effect turned out to be outstanding..."

"Just like today - although what Nicolas made should be special synthetic meat, due to the residue of alchemy, this piece of meat is also very unusual... It's a pity that I don't have magic power, so I can't know what's special about this piece of meat..."

"But, in my opinion, in order to blend the three ingredients, many of the residues in the meat should be related to fusion and reconstruction..."

When he heard this, Nicolas Flamel could no longer control his expression.

Although it is the request of Mo Fei, it is still difficult to understand that a Muggle can predict the approximate result of alchemy.

Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that Mo Fei requested and witnessed everything with his own eyes.

If it were an unfamiliar Alchemy master, they might not be able to find any clues from the piece of meat the first time they got it, and they would just keep guessing what magical creature the piece of meat came from.

Mo Fei did not wait, but continued.

"Lovage - it has the aroma of celery and a strong fragrance, but what I value more is its soothing effect. You must know that everyone will have a strong irritation when they first come into contact with the overly strong umami flavor. This stimulation sometimes can cause hallucinations. I don't want the meals I prepare to become drugs... Of course, you will not be affected by those..."

"Needless to say, ginger root is similar to the ginger in Muggle, but the concentration is a bit higher. What I need is that it can activate blood circulation and dilate blood vessels. It has two effects. One is to allow the meat to better absorb the flavor of the marinade, and the other is to allow the person who eats it to taste more of the meat..."

"Mistletoe berries are the seasoning I specially selected for you - I have read in the book that this has a weak hallucinogenic effect and seems to have some influence on the wizard's memory... And I want you to recall some of the good memories of the past through delicious food..."

"Of course, another point is that the plant I imagined and the lovage work together, it seems that it can also have the effect of having a good dream..."

"There is also jumping grass - this is purely because I like its taste and effect more. After it is gelatinized, it can give the meat a better taste, and it can also make the final product richer in taste..."

Nicolas Flamel listened with interest to these things proposed by Mo Fei, but these things are not so novel to Perenelle, who has made great achievements in the fields of Potions and Herbology.

Therefore, her focus is more on the operation of Mo Fei.

Mo Fei Put the marinated meat aside and let it rest, waiting for the marinade to seep into it little by little.

And I started to process the vegetables and staple foods to go with it.

The best staple food to go with this steak is of course rice. There is no doubt about how delicious the rich and tender meat juice seeps into the rice.

Mo Fei, who was very happy with what he was doing, no longer considered the eating habits of Europe people, and planned to come up with the best combination in his mind.

Although the rice here is not of perfect quality, Mo Fei still uses some means to make the steamed rice delicious enough.

As for other vegetables, Mo Fei also simply stir-fried them quickly in a pot. But looking at the details, Perenelle could also conclude that the cooking skills of Muggle in front of him were indeed better than his...

When it came time to fry the steak, even Nicolas Flamel had to express his admiration.

Mo Fei actually started frying it over high heat.

You should know that anyone with a certain foundation in cooking knows that slow frying over low heat is much easier. Excessive heat can easily lead to two consequences. One is that the heat is too high and causes burnt, and the other is that there is no way to let the heat enter the inside of the steak, resulting in the final product being undercooked...

Of course, Mo Fei would not do something so embarrassing.

While he was frying over high heat, he was also constantly turning the meat over quickly. There was a constant sizzling sound near the bottom of the pot. He tilted the pan slightly, and the fat seeping out of the steak burned directly under the action of the flame.

Mo Fei continued to operate in the fire, and they could hardly see the color of the meat in the flames. The whole meat seemed to be in the shape of flames...

But Mo Fei continued to operate like this until the meat steak was completely mature. He shoveled the meat steak with a wooden spatula and put it on top of the rice that had been served at an unknown time. While the meat juice flowed out, it counteracted the aroma of the rice and directly spread the aroma to the entire kitchen.

Smelling this smell, the Nicolas Flamel couple's stomachs made a sound in unison.

Nicolas Flamel looked at the delicious food in Mo Fei's hands eagerly.

Mo Fei didn't show off, he handed the plate over directly, "Please use it, you two, this is for two people... As for the name, pan-fried pork chop with stir-fried vegetables..."

The name is very simple, but just smelling it made the two wizards impatient.

Before they even got it to the table, they were already carrying the plates and starting to eat.
