Chapter 9: The Garden and Gastronomy (2)
On this continent, animal offal is a lower food than fish, and the common people have traditionally discarded these offal or sold them to the poor at a low price. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
David's family, who ran a small restaurant, handed over the offal and some minced meat of the slaughtered livestock to Annottby for free.
It's just that they are not willing to accept the gifts of David's family in vain, and they always change their ways to send some gadgets made by themselves to David's family, and they will go over to help every New Year's holiday.
It was the first time for Pu to go to the fishing line, but it was not like the first time for him to be skillful, and if Migrena was here, she would have been surprised, because Pu's action of going to the fishing line was almost exactly the same as the one she had demonstrated in the small restaurant.
"Brother Pu, is this all right?"
"Hmm."
"It's so easy, Flynn I can learn it too!"
Flynn smiled, her big eyes flashing with adoration, and said, "Aunt Migrena is so good that she knows how to use this method to get fishy." ”
"No, this one was Ash's idea."
"Ash? That Mask Sister? ”
Flynn remembered what Annottby's brother had told her about her sister who had a relationship with them.
"Yes."
"I don't like her, my brother often doesn't come home since she came."
Pu smiled and said no no.
"Oh, Brother Pu, you said that Brother Annoteby should be in love with that person named Ash, right?"
Flynn jumped up and paced anxiously, and said, "No, no, when I grow up, I want to be the bride of Brother Anotby, and I can't be robbed of my brother by others." ”
Pu smiled, and her ears echoed Flynn's fairy tales. Carefully pick up the fish bones.
The houses in the slums are all simple squares, the small ones are more than ten square meters, and the large ones are only about thirty square meters, with no extra doors, windows and decorations, just like the most simple mud houses.
The distance between the houses is also very small, but the building has a charter, and from a distance, it looks like a dense pile of sugar cubes, which is very interesting.
Ash felt that he only needed her palm. These tiny houses can collapse a large area with a bang.
She restrained her murderous aura and looked at the snot-smoking boys around her, the slum girls with neatly combed hair. She reminisces about the days she used to beg with Jasmine.
In the interstellar world, there are many planets that look extremely glamorous on the surface, but in fact, these planets have dark sides that ordinary people can't imagine.
Many of the areas with strictly restricted access are slums.
There, it's basically starvation. No living creatures were to be found except for the wheezing humans.
Whether it's dogs, cats, mice, insects, or any plant that can be eaten, it has become food for people in the slums, and even in some slums at the bottom of the bottom, people are still killing each other.
The slums where Ash once stayed. That's it.
In addition to letting men vent their animal desires, women have become food together with children.
To survive, to rebel. Even children have become wild beasts.
Because of this, Ash didn't feel bad after hearing that the Black Tower Clan was cannibalistic.
She looked up faintly, but just in time to see Che Lei who bent down and walked out of the bungalow, she was slightly stunned. Then he nodded to him.
On the other hand, Chere's heart jumped heavily. The whole movement slowed down a beat.
He didn't expect to see Ash here, and a strange feeling welled up in Cerley's heart, with a faint hint of joy at such a chance encounter.
When he poured the dirty water into the ditch and walked back, the ash was already in the bungalow.
For this big sister who is just a one-sided relationship, Pu and Flynn are not familiar with her, and they are a little embarrassed, and they don't know what to say to her.
"Fish steak?" Ash asked.
Pu's fingers trembled, and he bowed his head and said, "Yes... Yes. ”
He didn't dare to look up at Ash, but just a moment of surprise just now made Ash leave a deep impression on his heart.
Such a beautiful, such a different person, is not something that a deformity like him can talk about.
Annotby, Flynn and others didn't care about the deformity of Pu's hands and treated him as an ordinary person, but as himself, Pu still had a deep inferiority complex in his heart.
Because of his deformity, he was ridiculed by countless people when he was a child, and even when he grew up, he was still disliked by employers. Not only that, but his physique was too weak for even thieves to do it, and he became a burden to everyone.
In addition to being able to take care of his little sister, he really doesn't know what abilities he has and what advantages he has. The more he tried to help, the more he realized that he couldn't do anything, and then his inferiority complex became heavier and heavier.
Ash didn't know what Pu was thinking, but looked at the fish that was cut into pieces, and said lightly, "The knife work is good." ”
The sliced fish was cut gently according to the texture of the meat, and the knife in Pu's hand was not good, but he had already used 200% of the ability of this knife.
Pu blinked, a little unbelieving that he had been praised, until Ash took the kitchen knife from his hand and began to cook another fish, still stunned.
"Ash... Sister, what are you doing here? ”
Flynn was a child, after all, and quickly put aside her hostility towards Ash and asked Ash curiously.
Ash, "Make soup." ”
"Soup?"
Flynn sat down on the low stove with sparkling eyes, and asked curiously, "Can this fish make soup?" ”
"Hmm."
"Is it delicious? What kind of taste? ”
Ash thought for a moment and said, "Fresh." ”
"Fresh? What does that smell like? ”
Ash pondered, not knowing how to explain it, just as Chelley walked over and handed the cleaned basin to Frynn, diverting her attention.
Ash nodded slightly, thanking Chere.
Cerley shook his head, as if to say it was nothing.
Ash didn't know how to make the fish soup, she just saw Pu cooking and considered if she could try the ginger picked from the medicinal plantation.
When it comes to cooking, Ash doesn't know anything about it, as I said before, she is not picky about food at all.
When I was organizing, I ate whatever I was assigned to every day, and I always carried with me tasteless organic vitamins and human energy blocks.
If it weren't for the desire to pack food for her often, she would have forgotten what normal food tasted like.
Merely. For some home-cooked practices, Ash still has an impression.
In the past seventeen years, she has never counted the missions she has carried out, but she has crossed the stars several times, from the royal government offices to the small junk star, she has been to them all, and she has seen countless things because of it.
The predecessor of the Federation was ancient China, which was the birthplace of food, even now. There are also countless people in the Federation who come to visit him.
Ash had been in the Federation for a long time, and now, the memories she had buried in the depths of her memory. Slowly floated up, reminding her of the fish soup method.
I remember that not long after she entered the organization, the housewife she killed first wiped the pan with ginger and fried the fish in oil. Spray with rice wine, add ginger, and then put it in cold water and cook slowly.
Ash recalled, and the movements in his hands followed, a large piece of ginger was thrown into the air, and the kitchen knife waved lightly. By the time it falls, the ginger has turned into neat slices.
Flynn exclaimed, and saw Ash shake the pan with oil dripping with oil. A flame appeared out of thin air, enveloping the fish and the pot.
"Ahh This time it was Pu's turn to exclaim.
The flames disappeared, and Ash glanced at it faintly, a little familiar, and the fireball just now was a little hotter.
There was no rice wine here, so she replaced it with the ale that Migrina had stored in her spatial ring. Put the fish in a saucepan and spray with ale. With a flick of the finger, a ball of crystal water appears out of thin air, is poured into the saucepan, and the lid is closed.
Ash carefully controlled the concentration of the flame around the saucepan, and after ten minutes to confirm that the fish had turned milky white, he added a small spoonful of coarse salt and rolled it twice.
Everything was done in one go, and Flin and Pu were holding their breath as if they were watching a magic show at a festival.
Chelley's eyes were full of admiration, and as Ash used fire magic to heat the pot, he noticed that between the flame and the pot, there was a blue element of water.
This is a slum, and the pot used at home is naturally not very good, and it is precisely because of this that Ash has noticed this, so he has added an extra layer of water element to make an insulation layer for the pot to prevent it from melting and cracking at excessive temperatures.
As soon as the hijab was lifted, the thick fragrance spread out from the saucepan, and it was dinner time, and the stomachs of Flynn and Pu rang in unison.
"Taste it."
Ash took a bowl and handed it to Fryne, who looked at Pu and saw him nodding, so she couldn't wait to take the wooden bowl and drink the fish soup.
As soon as I took a bite, an indescribable taste filled Frynn's entire mouth, like salty, but different, but a real delicacy that I wanted to drink again and again.
It turns out that this is fresh!
Flynn drank two large bowls in one gulp, and then sat down and slowly took a small sip of the delicate fish, her eyes narrowed like a crescent moon, and she giggled with joy.
Pu also drank this peculiar fish soup, and looked at the gray eyes full of naked worship.
Ash took a bite of the fish soup and frowned slightly.
The taste was a far cry from what she had drunk, and if the one she wanted to bring her was called fish soup, it was just the water in which the fish had swam.
She didn't understand, she obviously did what she remembered, why wasn't it so delicious? Does she really have no other talent besides fighting?
Ash felt his mood sink a little.
"It's delicious." Chelley said suddenly.
Flynn also nodded hurriedly and said, "This is the best soup I've ever tasted, another bowl!" ”
Pu pulled his cheeks, smiled horribly, and agreed, "It's really delicious." ”
Although it is just an ordinary fish soup, it is not so delicious, but in the eyes of these people who have never drunk fish soup, it is already a delicious taste with endless memories.
The performance of the two wolves made Ash smile slightly.
Flynn and Pu, who were drinking the soup, didn't see it, but Cerley noticed Ash's faint smile, and his heart tugged at it, and he beat faster.
He felt that his breathing was a little heavy, and his whole body was strangely excited, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
It's just that he thinks Gray Smile looks very good, and he really wants to see her smile more.
As Pu made the fish steak, the thick fragrance in the small bungalow had spread far outside.
Many of the children who were sniffing came over curiously, leaning against the wall and looking inside.
Some of the adults, however, had any scruples, and only stood at a distance and watched, but the smell went straight into their noses, seducing their feet against their will. Forward, forward, forward.
Duoke and Liuliu trotted home all the way, and before they could reach the door, they saw many people gathered near their homes, and they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts, shouting and rushing into the house.
As soon as they opened the door, the rich smell of fish inside was suddenly swept out by the wind, causing the people outside the door to snort.
"What the hell is this scent?"
"I don't know, it smells good anyway."
This person who is not very hungry when he smells this fragrance. My stomach was "gurgling".
"Pu, this kid, where did you get any food, the gluttonous worms in my stomach screamed."
"That's it. Why don't we ask? Maybe ask him to buy some. ”
Some people who are usually good friends with children such as Pu are discussing whether they can ask if they can ask.
"I also know that werewolf, his name is Chere, he is very kind, and he gave my child a pastry last time."
"Ahh I know him, too, but I don't know the other one. ”
"yes, judging by her dress, she might be an aristocrat."
People whispered, but they swallowed their saliva one after another, and their eyes unconsciously glanced at their hut.
It is said that Duoke and Liuliu rushed into their house, and the first one was to run to Flynn and Pu. Make sure both are okay.
"Great, I looked at so many people outside the door, and I thought something was wrong." Duoke patted his chest.
Doco looks a little taller than Six-Six. The small round face, and Liuliu, like a little tarsier, has a pair of eyes that are particularly bright.
The two of them greeted Cheray and Ash respectively, and then immediately turned their eyes to the fish soup and fish steak on the table. Snort and swallow your saliva.
Flynn chuckled. said, "This is a dish made by Brother Pu and Sister Gray, and we have a good mouth today!" ”
"Quick, bring me a bowl!" What a hurry.
"It's ready, give."
took the wooden bowl in Pu's hand, and drank the fish soup in one gulp, but the surface of the fish soup did not seem to be hot, but in fact, there was hot soup under a layer of oil, and he suddenly wanted to vomit but was reluctant to vomit, and his face was red.
"Hot, hot!"
Breathing, sticking out his tongue, Duoke amused everyone.
Liuliu also got a bowl of soup, with a lot of experience, he carefully sipped one bite at a time, only to feel a warmth deep into the heart and lungs, a night of hot fish soup, the winter chill was driven away, only to feel the whole body warm.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!"
Flin forked the fish steak and said, "Try this again!" ”
"Whew, it's delicious! What is this made of? ”
"Fish!"
"What? Impossible. ”
"Hmph, there's still a fish head there, don't believe it."
Duoke and Liuliu shook their heads again and again, they didn't eat less fish, but this fish steak obviously didn't have that terrible fishy smell, but was very delicious.
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and Potter, who had returned from outside, slammed the door in, and his face was full of anxiety as he strode as he strode away.
"Frynn, Pu, you didn't..."
The following words were swallowed at the same time as he saw Chere, and after looking at the few small smiles, a heart was suddenly put back in its place.
With Brother Cerley here, Flynn and the others should be fine.
The door was wide open, and Ash saw that many people were probing their brains inside, and they were sniffing hard, and they couldn't help but feel puzzled.
"Brother Potter! Your pen and paper. ”
The little girl with her pigtails, with the encouragement of her parents, handed the little baggage to Potter.
It turned out that Potter thought that something had happened at home just now, and he didn't even care about the baggage, so he ran back all of a sudden, and the little girl's parents saw it and hurriedly asked her to help send it over.
Potter was a little embarrassed, thanked him, and prepared to go into the house and get a pastry for the little girl.
The little girl sucked her fingers, shook her head and said, "Yaya doesn't want pastries, Yaya wants to drink that soup." ”
When the parents of the little girl in the distance heard this, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Yaya, saying well, daughter.
Potter pushed his glasses, and then noticed that the soup in the room was slightly strange.
"Brother Chere, this is..."
As he asked, the people around him also pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what the werewolf had to say.
"This is fish soup, it's delicious, brother, come over and drink it." Flynn raised her hand and was the first to answer.
Potter wrinkled his eyebrows, didn't ask, nodded and asked Pu Sheng to hand a bowl to the little girl, who knew that the little girl took out three small bowls from her arms like a trick, and looked at the somewhat terrible brother in front of her.
Pu did not refuse, so that the little girl returned full of envy under the envious gaze of everyone and the expectant gaze of her parents.
There is only fish soup and fish steak, which is still a bit not enough for these children in the growth period, and Pu is going to burn the minced meat and animal offal, but he is worried that Ash and Chelei will not be used to eating it.
With Pu's movements, his gray eyes swept over the entire kitchen counter, combining the materials he currently had in the room with the vegetables in his hand, and suddenly had an idea.
(Sorry guys, but there aren't many chapters in this section, and I've been busy lately, but I'll keep working on it.) Please also don't take it off the shelves and put it for fattening. (To be continued)
