Chapter 170: In the Kitchen
The friendship between Charles and Diana is strong and can stand the test.
Today happened to be the day when Diana bought a house and moved into her new home, so she invited her friends to her new home for a meal.
Originally, she also wanted to invite Professor Wolfe, but the old man who taught him has now entered the mode of a scientific research madman, and he is not out of the laboratory at all.
Because of Charles's arrival, especially after Diana saw Artoria, she asked Rhine to go to the market to buy more vegetables and come back.
In the kitchen, Charles was pouring water into the flour, then beat an egg and started making the dough.
While kneading his dough, he asked Diana, who was handling vegetables next to him, "Why did you dye your hair?"
"Uh......" Diana organized her words, "I said I swallowed the Naais Golden Eagle you gave to Momiji, you wouldn't be angry, would you?"
Charles turned his head to look at her, "Did you use that ability, or did you stew?"
Diana scratched her head a little embarrassed, "I used that ability, but it was only weakened for a while, and then it slowly recovered." It was Aunt Coriander who said that the divination results showed that this would save lives in the future, and then Momiji agreed. After getting its powers, my hair became like this. ”
Charles let out an "oh", "Maybe it's up to you when you need to run for your life in the future." ”
Diana asked while cutting vegetables and fruits with her wind blade, "A few golems were brought to the west a while ago, and Professor Wolf rushed back with us after being notified, and now the academy has divided two golems for research." Golem: That's you know?"
"You know, we made those up. Charles watched with a toothache as Diana chopped vegetables with a wind blade, "That's how you practice magic?"
"Family tradition, you can also try it. Diana replied, "Tell me what happened to those golems, it's the first time I've gotten such a complete golem." ”
Charles briefly recounted what had happened in the underground labyrinth that day, and then continued, "That place used to be an underground base in the west, but it was quickly abandoned because of the unfavorable war, so those golems were thrown there. ”
By this time, Charles had already kneaded the dough that was ready to be used to make the puff pastry rolls, and after setting the dough aside, he began to make the hot dough.
He mixes the flour and starch in a 2:1 ratio, puts the butter, milk, sugar, a little salt and spices together in the pot and boils, then pours the flour and starch into the pot and stirs.
Then Diana said, "Now that Professor Wolf is fully engaged in the study of the Golem, I plan to start helping after the New Year's break." ”
"Are you interested in the Golem?" Charles asked, "then I'll buy one for you next year." ”
"Is this thing for sale?" Diana surprised this time.
"I saw several of them in the antique shop. Charles said while stirring in the pot with a wooden spoon, "Although it is an old model, it still has some scientific value." ”
"Thank you for that. Diana was there to put some chopped vegetables and prepared shrimp on top of the dough to make pizza, and she said as she sprinkled cheese, "My job in my hometown was to work on artificial intelligence that combines magic and science, and I think it has something in common with the golem." ”
Charles looked at this girl from the wizarding world blankly, unable to keep up with her train of thought for a while.
Sensing Charles's confusion, Diana said to him, "Have you heard of the Sorting Hat?"
Charles nodded, "It's the one in Hogwarts that only takes it out for a walk every time school starts, and stuffs it back after people are divided into houses, and sings new songs every year?"
"That's it. Diana continued to sprinkle cheese on the second shrimp pizza, "When I was a child, my aunt and the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a machine body for the Sorting Hat, which was the world's first 'intelligent mecha technology complex using magic' over there. The year I went to Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat stopped singing at the opening party, and then suddenly they danced "Billie Jean" with Peeves. ”
Charles was speechless about the strange world, and he poured the boiled dough into a pot to spread out and cool, and then beat the eggs in another basin.
Over there, Diana continued while putting the pizza in the oven, "Later, since college, I have been studying artificial intelligence on the magic side with my aunt, and the year I graduated from college, I just in time for Shanghai to engage in garbage classification, and my graduation project is the automatic household intelligent garbage sorting machine on the magic side." ”
Charles cracked the egg and asked, "Are you interested in going west to do research on this?"
Diana, who had turned off the oven and stuffed a fire-type magic crystal in the switch position, sighed, "Take a look, I'd like to go over and take a look if I have the chance." But as you know, the relationship between the East and the West is not very good, and I am afraid that war will not be avoided. ”
After beating the egg mixture, Charles poured it into the basin where he had just put the dough and prepared to stir it into a paste. At the same time, he said, "By the way, do you know the profession of Spiritual Master, I have fought with people in that profession, and I found that her fighting style is very similar to that of yours. ”
Then Charles noticed that the look in his eyes was a little strange, "What's wrong?"
Diana was a little speechless and said, "Don't you know, the spirit master is mainly from the demon side, and there are few humans with this profession, unless that person always has demon blood." ”
Charles was stunned for a moment, "I really don't know about this." ”
Diana obviously had some research on this, and she said, "The spirit master is different from the elemental mage, and it is indeed quite similar to ours, but the information is insufficient, so it is difficult to judge. ”
Charles handed the batter to Diana, who had prepared a piping bag made of soft and thin hides. She put the batter in a piping bag and squeezed the batter onto a greased baking sheet to prepare the puffs.
Charles put the awakened dough on the table and began to roll out the dough while asking, "Can you use your old man's magic over here?"
Diana said helplessly, "I've tried many times, and I always feel like something is missing, if only my wand was still there." When I came, I buried the bag with other things and hid them in the ground, and I didn't have time to dig them out for so many years, for fear that someone would dig them up. ”
Charles said "oh" and then stopped talking.
"What's next for you?" asked Diana.
Charles divided the dough that was rolled out so that you could see the back into three parts, and said, "In a few days I will take a boat to the Elven Tree Sea to get my nose fitted, and then I will stay there for a few years." ”
Then he said, "You go with me, there aren't many humans who can go in." ”
Diana thought for a moment and said, "Success, it's a holiday trip." ”
Charles brushed the dough with butter and said, "Artoria will come here to look for work after the holidays, you can go to her if you have something." ”
Diana, who was wearing thick gloves and took out the baked pizza, put the baking tray aside to cool, and rubbed Charles with her elbow, "Picked up a saber at the beginning, are you the protagonist?" Don't you have any idea about her?"
Charles, who had already buttered the dough, picked up the slices of fruit that Diana had cut just now from the desk next to him and spread them on the dough, and said, "I have a ghost idea, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
"Who knows about you?" said Diana, putting the baking tray with the puff batter in the oven, "It's still a mother and daughter, don't let it go." ”
Charles rolled up the dough of the fruit and said, "Please, now we are all eight-year-old children, it's rare to be young again, don't talk like a middle-aged aunt, okay." I'm so worried that the next time I come, I'll see you square dancing by the lake. ”
Diana, who came over with an empty baking tray, gave Charles a kick in the calf, "The old lady is an innocent and cute eight-year-old girl, and your friend is an uncle." ”
"Believe it or not, I'll take you to see the goldfish. Charles put the rolled fruit puff pastry rolls into the baking tray that Diana had brought her.
Diana, who was about to cook caramel on the magic array on the stove by the stove, slapped a small fire-type magic crystal on the handle of the pot, and said, "Goldfish, I have it in the backyard pool here." ”
After a while, the puffs in the oven were baked, and Diana drizzled a small spoonful of caramel over the top of each puff.
Charles put the meringue rolls in the oven when he remembered the question, "Are you the only one living here?"
Diana was pouring the excess caramel on a smooth slate from nowhere, spreading it into a small sheet and pressing it on it with a small stick while it was hot.
She said as she made a lollipop, "For now, Linda is here for the time being, and I've reserved a room for your sister." The Rhine father and daughter rented a house in the business district. ”
At this time, the smell of barbecue wafted from the backyard, Charles took a deep breath, and then said, "Can you leave me a room?"
Diana turned her head to look at him, then said, "The storage room under the stairs is empty, do you want to live?"
Charles: "Can the rent be less?"
Soon after, Charles and Diana arrived in the backyard with shrimp pizza, caramel puffs, fruit puff pastry rolls, and caramel lollipops.
The visitors were acquaintances and didn't pay so much attention to it, and after a half-hour rain, they baked their own main course for tonight in the backyard.
A one-meter-long lobster has long been moved from the grill to the long table, and the lobster that I don't know how to grill is exuding a faint aroma of wine.
Rhine did Diana's instructions and bought back three times the amount of crab, shells and squid and other seafood. Now the seafood is also on the grill.
