Robben stood quietly beside him, did not speak, just quietly listened to the conversation between Brutus and Nair, and occasionally Ray Peters was able to add a few words, but Robben remained silent.

Not absent-minded, not dismissive, but ...... Instead, I thought of Samuel, and I thought of the rest of my family.

Since the second Ash Divination, Robben's feelings for Samuel have been very subtle, because there are so many question marks that he can't get answered, so that he is not sure how he should deal with the fact that Samuel is still alive and has not said a word.

Many times, he even selectively "forgets" Samuel, as long as he doesn't think about it, he doesn't bother, but every day when he comes home, he can feel the huge vacancy, and Samuel's disappearance is like a black hole, draining all the energy and vitality of the house.

He tried to explain something, but he didn't know how to explain it: let his mother give up and say that Samuel would never come back, or was Samuel still alive but he couldn't get back?

Sometimes, he couldn't even hold back his resentment towards Samuel.

But, looking at Nair now, Robben's stomach couldn't help but start burning again - he missed Samuel, he missed Samuel who always laughed heartlessly, he missed Samuel who said he didn't care but secretly cared about him more than anyone else.

He wanted Samuel to live, even if he never came back, he just needed to know that Samuel was still alive, alive somewhere in the world, and that was enough.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Holden's voice came from the kitchen, expressing a strong protest.

"Dinner is ready to be served, and you're still standing there gossiping? There's no respect for food! Don't you know that living up to food is one of the terrible things in the world?"

Howlen's rambling words were not joking, but expressed his position in a solemn manner, and Nair cast a glance at the group of young people, trying to explain, but did not expect Brutus to be the first to say, "I know, he is serious, and we better do it." ”

They know.

Realizing this, Nair's smile bloomed again, and he was now certain that Hodden had indeed made a group of sincere friends.

"That's it. ”

"Tell me, what do you need help with?"

"Cutlery, we haven't set up the cutlery yet. ”

"Ah, cutlery, right now. ”

"I'll come, I'll come, you just rest. ”

"Nair, allow us to help, after all, tonight is a great meal, we've been waiting for this day for a long time, and we all want to do our part to prove that we're not eating for nothing. ”

“...... Are you sure you're not eating white food?"

Without much to say, the atmosphere in the room soon became lively again, and more importantly, neither Brutus nor Repeters put on a stand for the noble young master, but actively participated in it - as for whether the work was done well or not, that was another matter.

The conversation between you and me made the smile on the corner of your mouth rise, even Robben was no exception.

If there's one thing that would make the evening even better, it's Hoden's cooking with the strawberries on that cake.

Starting with the appetizer pomiacistol, the appetizer is toasted with rhubarb and salted caviar and rose hips, the first staple is the crocus cousme, the second staple is red alfonsino with soy sauce mushrooms, the third staple is pan-fried sabis, and finally two desserts, one with fresh milk pudding and the other with Mont Blanc.

With a total of six procedures, Holden truly demonstrates the complexity and perfection of the cuisine, from appetizing to full, from taste to taste, from sour to salty to sweet, layer by layer, even the delicate feeling of the taste buds are fully taken care of, and finally to create pure taste enjoyment, making dining an art.

"It's like you've just watched an opera. ”

Brutus couldn't help but sigh, even though all the food had entered his stomach, he could still feel the wonderful taste when he tasted it carefully-

It's not a burp after a full meal and then rumination, but a reminiscence of those tastes in your mind, and your taste buds paradoxically capture a hazy feeling, and you can't help but immerse yourself in it, and the symphony plays in your ears.

Even Robben gave a curious look, "Holden, I know it's Sibes." "Because they bought the ingredients together in the neighboring block, "but what the hell is the outer layer? It's the crispy and crispy layer, and the whole feeling is ...... It's really different. The palate is not the taste of beef. ”

"Ah, that's fish skin. Rainbow fish. Holden's eyes flashed brightly, "I use the skin and the meat separately, and after the fish is chopped, it is mixed into the bomi as an appetizer, it can secrete a little sweet and sour taste, further amplify the sweetness of the bomi itself, stimulate the taste buds, and open our appetite." ”

"The skin of the fish wraps around the Sibis beef, which we all know is known for its tender meat, and it can be flavored when it is fried a little, and it is very difficult to control the time, and it is easy to overdo it. So, I wrap the Sibes beef in fish skin and grill it with the fire element to control the heat and temperature. ”

"When the skin is crispy, the beef is at its best. Not only was it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, but I was also able to use the tenacity of the skin to add some springiness to the beef, and most importantly, I marinated the skin in advance, not the beef, to ensure the taste of the beef itself, but also to add a little unique flavor through the skin to ensure that it would not rob the original style of Sibes beef. ”

When it comes to cooking, Hoden is always like this, and his gushing words make people immerse themselves.

With those words, everyone fell into deep thought, revisiting the taste of the dish just now, the full gravy mixed with a little spicy and a little sweet burst out, detonating on the taste buds, the lips and teeth were full of gravy, and each bite could feel a different taste.

Thinking about it, the saliva couldn't help but secrete it again, and subconsciously ate a bite of Mont Blanc again, and the faint sweetness could taste a fresh sour taste, and all the pores of the body were opened, and I couldn't help but close my eyes and taste it slowly, lest I might scream at any time.

Food is also an art.

Nair looked at Hodden, who was dancing with his eyebrows, and also showed a satisfied look-

Although it is said that a dinner lasts for nearly two hours, which is impossible for them to happen every day, because poor people do not have so much time to eat slowly, and thirty minutes of dinner time is already very luxurious, but it is also a fun experience to try once or twice very occasionally, not to mention, Hoden cooks the whole time, in addition to time, it is also enough to save money.
