Volume 4 The First Kuroshio War Chapter 63 The Charm of Fine Grain!
Alina felt a little nervous, even when facing the strictest etiquette teacher in the family.
She swallowed quietly, plucked up the courage and spoke cautiously, "Hello, Mogre...... Lady. Have you seen Mr. Norn? Mr. Seurrick V. Norn? β
The paladin in front of her didn't answer, just reached out and pointed to the side.
And with the movements of the female knight, a slightly lazy accent sounded not far away.
"Who's looking for me? Wait a minute......"
Looking in the direction from which the voice came, Alina's gaze immediately straightened.
On the side of the training ground, a young man is cooking in the shade of a tree...... Wait a minute, cooking?
Alina blinked in disbelief, then blinked again, blinked again. But no matter how she blinked, the sight of her pupils didn't change in the slightest.
In the shade of a tree lay a simple marching stove, on which was a large cauldron with a large pot of hot water boiling.
The young man used two long wooden sticks to constantly fish out the white strips from the pot...... Food. Yes, food. He scooped out the white strips and put them in a bowl next to him, then sprinkled a handful of green vegetable crumbs in the bowl, grabbed the long-necked flask next to him and poured some black liquid into the bowl, then scooped out a spoonful of red sauce from a small jar and a spoonful of dark brown sauce from another small jar......
There is a bit of laziness in his skillful movements. It seemed to be slow and slow, but in the blink of an eye, several large bowls on the floor were all filled. Then he picked up the ladle and scooped a ladle of hot water from the cauldron and poured it into the bowl.
That's right, this annoying aristocrat is really cooking! There are even aristocrats who cook by themselves, which is simply unheard of and unseen!
As hot water pours into the bowl, a special aroma mixed with the scent of vegetables begins to diffuse.
The fragrance invaded her nasal cavity, and Alina's stomach immediately let out a grand sound: Goo~~~
The little girl's face turned red.
She's still young. If in this life, a girl of her age is in the carefree season, and it is also the time to grow her body. It's normal to be hungry or something.
"Yo, you're hungry too." The drum-like belly screamed into Fang Qiuling's ears as a matter of course, but he didn't mean to laugh at the little girl at all, and nodded very casually, "Wait a minute, give it to the big animals first, and I'll make you a separate one." β
As he spoke, his gaze fell on Ms. Mogley.
Miss Moghley nodded slightly, then turned to leave.
"Mr. Norn, I'll come back later. Wait until you're done eating. β
"Uh...... Ma'am, I did your share too. β
"No, Mr. Norn. Thank you for your kindness. β
Lady Mowghley bowed slightly, and then turned to leave.
Fang Qiuling shrugged his shoulders and turned his gaze to the sweaty trainers on the training ground.
"Alright, alright, rest for half an hour...... Oh, take a break, take a break. β
"Oh!"
The figures on the training ground let out a shout at the same time, and the trainers unified their swords, and then lined up in a neat line.
Fang Qiuling slowly walked to the trainers with a water ladle in one hand and a soup spoon in the other. The shape of a piece of kitchen utensils in one hand made him look quite happy, but every time the trainers laughed, they looked at him with unusually expectant eyes.
"This is the lunch promised to you, one for each person!" Fang Qiuling pointed to the large bowls under the shade of the trees with a long-handled soup spoon, "More of them...... There can be too! It's up to you guys! Right now...... Disband! β
The trainers beat their chests in unison, and then lined up in an orderly manner to walk to the shade of the trees. A moment later, a series of swishing sounds sounded in the shade of the trees.
"You ......"
Alina took a small step back. The stomach is called by the stomach, and the due vigilance cannot be less.
The annoying little aristocrat in front of him was indeed cooking just now. But from the tools he used to cook, the two long sticks, and the series of techniques that followed, especially the red and black sauces, and the aroma that came from the final pouring of boiling water...... It looks like witchcraft no matter how you look at it! Yes, that's right, the whole process is exactly the same as when a wizard makes potions!
Of course, Alina had heard stories of witches catching children, and children her age were often the protagonists of the stories! This made her feel intimidated. And more importantly, the paladin left under the pretext of saying that there was nothing to be done in it...... There must be something greasy!
"What's wrong?"
The little girl's vigilant gaze made Fang Qiuling think of the little milk cat. The appearance of the milk fierce milk is not so much a deterrent as it is directly cute.
"No, nothing ......"
After taking a step back, Alina remembered that this was the Temple of Notos. As long as he screams, a dozen priests and paladins will run out, even if the little nobles in front of him want to plot against him, he doesn't have to be afraid at all! This gave her a little more confidence.
Fang Qiuling glanced at the little girl and began to beckon her to go to the shade of the tree. He didn't know that in just a moment, the little girl's mind was enough to shoot a forty-minute TV series.
"What flavors do you like? Braised beef, stewed chicken with mushrooms...... Or is sauerkraut fish okay? β
There were a total of six knights trained by Ms. Mogray, all of whom were Fang Qiuling's attendants.
Due to the fact that the winter had just passed and the snow had not melted, Joestar and his group of six people from Jinhe Town had to be stranded in Huquan Town. As the number of refugees outside the town gradually increased, the pressure on the town's law and order gradually increased, and the commander of the town guard station approached them and asked them to participate in the daily patrol of the town as "temporary workers". As the former Wuxi cavalry, they were obliged to take over this temporary job.
When Fang Qiuling arrived in Huquan Town yesterday, they happened to be on the town wall. When they saw the arrival of their own lord, they immediately came under the command of the lord.
Joestar They were born in the Foggy Xi cavalry, and they were all strong guys with great bodies. They were served plain roll noodles seasoned with shallots, soy sauce, chili sauce and Lao Gan Ma. By the standards of the present world, it certainly doesn't taste very good, that is, it's full in quantity. However, the roll noodles are made of fine flour, which is a proper fine grain. Fine grains cannot be said to be exclusive to the aristocracy in Elune, but it must only be affordable for the wealthy, and it is only once in a while during the New Year's holidays. Joestar: They are very satisfied.
The same thing for the little girl...... No, Fang Qiuling himself felt that he couldn't go, and he decided to open a small stove.
"No, no, Mr. Norne......"
Alina's small nose sniffed. Although the smell of vegetables in the air was tempting, she politely refused.
- Don't eat what strangers give!
The annoying little aristocrat in front of him was indeed a stranger. He invited a guest to dinner, and he made it himself, and God knows if there was something problematic in it!
The little girl's tone of refusal was very firm, which made Fang Qiuling slightly surprised. After all, the "grunt" that came out of his stomach just now was a bit loud, and he heard it clearly.
Since the little girl refused...... Fang Qiuling decided to reluctantly make a copy for her!
- At this time, it is difficult to be decisive!
Considering that the little girl had only been seriously ill before and her body was very weak, it was better to have a lighter taste, and it was good to stew chicken noodles with mushrooms.
Fang Qiuling slowly took out a bag of instant noodles from the storage bag, and then added a piece of firewood to the marching furnace to make the fire burn more vigorously.
Instant noodles are junk food and have long been considered to be the culprit of health damage, malnutrition or obesity. Children who are growing should avoid instant noodles as much as possible.
But the instant noodles in Fang Qiuling's hand are not ordinary instant noodles in the supermarket of the present world, but a "special offering" prepared by the logistics department of Weiyang Palace. Not only is the sauce pack full of real chicken broth, but there are also extra vegetable packets and chicken packets.
Instant noodles are done quickly. As boiling water poured into the bowl, an enticing aroma began to spread across the training ground.
If the aroma of chopped green onions mixed with soy sauce and Lao Gan Ma was enough to make the stomach "growl", then the aroma of chicken mixed with the rich aroma of mushrooms was enough to make the stomach start to drum!
The stewed chicken noodles with shiitake mushrooms processed from semi-finished products were nothing at all in Fang Qiuling's eyes. Even if it is a special offering of Weiyang Palace, it is only just passing in terms of taste. Not to mention that compared with the chef Bunny Rabbit, even the chef of the Peace Hotel can easily win.
But in Alina's eyes, the food in the bowl has an incomparable impact!
The noodles are golden, and the production is made with eggs, and the beautiful name is "Golden Dragon Beard Noodles". The soup base is thick and off-white, and you can feel the flavor of the soup when you look at it. Then spread the large chunks of chicken and mushrooms on top of the golden brown noodles......
Alina was completely stunned, she had never thought that food could show such a wonderful sense of imagery. And as the rich aroma continued to pour into her nasal cavity, her will began to blur, and her body began to lose control.
When the little girl came to her senses, she once again controlled her bodyβmainly her hands. She noticed a large empty bowl in front of her.
There is a little beige soup on the four walls of the empty bowl, which indicates what was in the bowl before, and the taste that remains between the lips and teeth clearly tells you what you have just done.
"How? Is it tasty? β
"Hmm...... Hmm...... "The little girl blushed, and hesitated for a while before she whispered, "Delicious......"
"Well, it's delicious."
Fang Qiuling nodded, and then began to prepare his own lunch. Compared to the various convenience foods in the storage bag, he still prefers Elune's local specialties.
For example, red-skinned potatoes are very good to eat after washing, whether they are boiled or baked; Another example is the mutton soup made by stewing largemouth mushrooms and mutton; Juice pressed with fresh fruits, fresh nuts......
"Well, Mr. Norne......," the little girl hesitated for a moment, then said embarrassedly, "I didn't say it was today...... How do you ......?"
ββTake other people's hands short, eat other people's soft mouths.
Although Alina didn't know this proverb, her momentum at the moment showed this fact from a certain angle. I just ate someone's food, and then I asked a question aggressively, obviously a little unreasonable.
However, what responded to her was Fang Qiuling's inexplicable face.
"Huh? Today? Didn't you say tomorrow? β
