That's just how it seems; we'll have to try it to find out the real result.
I gathered the dry firewood around me, thought about how to cook it, and decided that grilling fish wasn't the most feasible option.
Luo Ya wasn't a highly skilled chef; he was just an average cook with some basic skills. In his previous life, he could only cook a meal that wasn't too bad.
Grilling fish is a skill in itself, but basically, as long as it's grilled until cooked through and seasoned with a little salt, the taste won't be too bad.
With that thought in mind, Roya used his magic to skewer the fish and then began to bake it.
Fearing he might burn the other person, Luo Ya manually adjusted the temperature bit by bit.
After the fish was cooked, it was time for rice.
The key to cooking rice is to control the heat.
As before, wash the rice and put it in the pot, add the appropriate amount of water using water magic, and start heating.
Luo Ya multitasked, constantly adjusting the heat, and finally succeeded in cooking the rice and grilled fish.
Looking at the fragrant rice, Roya smiled sincerely.
Take out the food box and put the rice in it. Sprinkle salt on the fish. This salt is not the same as that salt. Compared to the slightly coarse salt, the salt used by Roya is full of grains and has no impurities.
The coarse salt is scooped out of the brine pool, which naturally contains a large amount of bitter brine. Although it is not very harmful to people, it still tastes astringent and is not pleasant.
Furthermore, the coarse salt sold by the Kingdom of Xilong contained quite a few impurities.
Coarse salt is dissolved in water. Then, limestone is heated with charcoal or petroleum to turn it into quicklime. Water is then added to turn it into lime milk. The saturated lime milk solution is then added to the water in which the coarse salt has dissolved, which will produce impurities. The solution is then filtered and finally distilled.
What remains is genuine refined salt.
Of course, this salt is still much worse than in the previous life, but it is definitely not bad now.
Bake it for a little while longer, tear off a small piece of fish, taste it slightly, and it's really quite good.
The meat was fresh and the fishy smell wasn't too strong, which was barely acceptable. Although the seasonings were simple, it still had some flavor.
The crust is baked until crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, making it crunchy to eat.
Well, if the maximum score is ten, I'd give it six. If there's some spice from my past life, I'd give it eight.
He divided the fish into two parts, put one part into Luo Qixi's bowl, and left the other part in his own bowl. He closed the lunchbox, picked it up, and swaggered away.

Upon entering Loki's room, Loki was intently studying the magic book on display.
Luo Ya placed the food box in front of the two of them and smiled at Luo Qixi, saying, "Try my cooking."
Opening the lunchbox reveals yellow rice and steaming fish.
Use your magical powers to make two chopsticks, hand them to the other person, and then look at them expectantly.
When Luo Qixi picked up the chopsticks, she subconsciously frowned. Only then did Luo Ya realize what was happening, and then he used magic to make a spoon for her.
In medieval Europe, people were used to using knives, forks, and spoons; chopsticks were not a common practice in this world.
"...I mean, are we just going to eat this like this?" Luo Qixi took the spoon and looked at Luo Ya with slight hesitation.
Luo Ya didn't speak, he just nodded.
"Hmm..." Luo Qixi ate slowly with a subtle expression on her face. It was clear that the other party did not trust Luo Ya very much, but this was expected, as Luo Ya did not seem to have shown any talent in this area.
The grilled fish rice was delicious, but after taking only one bite, Luo Qixi didn't say another word.
The other person finished the food with astonishing speed, and although they weren't exactly in tears, they still let out a comfortable burp.
Luo Ya wasn't idle either; he was also eating the grilled meat rice in his bowl.
Perhaps it was because Luo Qixi was very hungry, but before Luo Ya had finished eating, he noticed that the other person's eyes were already fixed on the food in his hand.
Luo Ya was a little puzzled. He had a big appetite, and this little bit of food was not enough to fill his stomach. The reason he ate a little was because he was afraid that Luo Qixi would not dare to eat the food he cooked.
But now it seems the other party is still not satisfied.
Luo Ya hesitated for a moment, then said to Luo Qixi, "Um, Master Luo Qixi, would you like some?"
Luo Qixi nodded, then shook her head.
Luo Ya looked completely bewildered.
What does this mean? Do you want it or not?
However, he had almost finished his meal, and it felt impolite to offer his leftovers to the other person.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Ya stood up and said to Luo Qixi, "I'll make you something delicious again tomorrow. There's not much rice left in this bowl. I'll make something delicious for Master Luo Qixi again tomorrow."
Luo Qixi turns out to be someone who enjoys good food.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. When normal people encounter delicious food, they will subconsciously eat more. Given the terrible level of cuisine in this world, or rather, this country, being able to eat a meal like this can indeed be considered a happy thing.
He decided to find an apprentice to pass on his life's culinary skills to, making the apprentice Luo Qixi's personal chef.
Then, they carried forward and popularized the Luo family's culinary skills.
After all, Roya couldn't stay here for long. Since Luo Qixi didn't plan to leave, Roya could only stay with her for a while.
Once everything here is settled, we'll prepare to embark on a new adventure.
But there are more important things to do right now.
After finishing his meal, Luo Ya turned his attention to Luo Qixi.
Luo Qixi's face immediately flushed red. She then looked away, nodded slightly, and said to Luo Ya, "Then, let's go."
Naturally, it was time to take a bath and finish the rest of the tasks.
Luo Ya joked, "Master Luo Qixi is so cute, I can't wait."
Luo Qixi was furious and ignored Luo Ya, taking out her clothes from her suitcase.
Short-sleeved shirt, cute white panties, a change of long robe, a pair of underwear, and inner armor.
When he saw the inner armor, Luo Ya was a little surprised. His eyes subconsciously glanced at the other person's chest, thinking that the other person did not look like they were wearing inner armor, and the soft touch at noon was real.
Luo Qixi was unaware of Luo Ya's gaze, or perhaps Luo Qixi simply didn't want to pay any attention to Luo Ya.
Otherwise, if Luo Qixi were to see the other party's questioning gaze again, she might become angry and embarrassed.
After gathering her change of clothes, Luo Qixi planned to take Luo Ya to the bathhouse.
The royal bathhouse was also very large, divided into three categories: one for maids, one for people like court magicians or knight commanders, and the other for the royal family.
The men's and women's bathhouses are naturally separate, but they are only separated by a wall.
Luo Ya arrived at the second floor, but when he went in, there were a lot of people inside.
Subconsciously, Luo Ya frowned, but after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
The vast majority of them were training knights, but that's normal.
After thinking for a moment, just as he was about to go in, he sensed a very powerful energy fluctuation coming from the next room.
Of course, the area next door here is not the women's bath area.
Luo Ya suddenly remembered something.
Oh, right, find some support for Luo Qixi.
This power should belong to the third prince, Zanoba Shiron.
The other person was taking a bath next door at that moment.
Should I go there myself?
After thinking about it, Luo Ya decided to try going next door.
Compared to the lively atmosphere here, there was only Zanaba Silón next door.
The bath doesn't need to be too long, and with the steam in the air, you can't really tell what the other person looks like.
So Roya left and went to the next room.
Of course, it's not like someone would be so heartless as to arrange for a guard at the entrance of the adjacent building to check whether someone is a member of the royal family.
Even those who arrive for the first time will be informed of the specific details.
Upon entering, you'll find a hot spring that's twice the size of the previous bathhouse.
At this moment, a person was sitting in the center. Who else could it be but Zanopa Silom?
Luo Ya went inside, took off his clothes, and placed them on a cabinet that resembled a wardrobe.
Zanaba seemed to sense something and suddenly turned his head to look at where Roya was, staring intently at Roya's figure.
Despite the fog obscuring the view, such a glaring gaze would be palpable even to a blind person.
After taking off his clothes, Luo Ya walked naked towards the hot spring. He stretched out his foot to test the water temperature, which was not very hot, about fifty degrees Celsius.
After he lay down inside without any hesitation, Zanaba continued to stare at him.
Besides taking a bath, Roya's purpose this time was to connect with Zanoba and get a feel for him.
Seeing that the other person was staring at him, he naturally spoke first: "Hey, what are you looking at?"
“I don’t recall anyone like you in the royal family, after all, they all look like fat pigs,” Zanaba replied.
