The fifth octopus
Ash unleashed his wind magic, accompanied by shadow steps, as if he had turned into a wind, and passed through the crowd and all the way out of the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the midst of the heavy snowfall, the outside of the city is also silvery white.
She remembered that when she left the imperial capital to escape the killers, she had seen a lake not far from the city.
Following the direction in her memory, in just over twenty minutes, she rushed to the lake.
The heavy snow covered the surface of the lake with a thin layer of ice, and with one foot on it, a spiral flame centered on her foot turned into a raging flame, covering a large area of the lake.
It didn't take long for the thin ice to melt away, revealing the sparkling surface of the lake.
However, the flames were still burning, and with the strong urge of the ashes, they heated the surface of the lake.
At first, it was just a myriad of bubbles, but soon, as if a catalyst was added, in just a few minutes, the temperature of the flame rose in a straight line, and the whole lake was no different from boiling water, making a gurgling and steaming sound.
Ash estimated the time, and after the lake boiled for a minute and thirty seconds, he immediately stopped heating the fire magic, and floated quietly in the air.
It didn't take long for the lack of oxygen and heat to stun the fish, but before they could breathe fresh air, a large white net was cast on them, keeping them away from the embrace of the lake.
The big net is the fish saliva that the elves use to wrap things when they say goodbye to Ash!
Ash breathed steadily, his face a little pale.
This large-scale use of fire magic, which she has the weakest affinity, made her magic a little too much to keep up with.
Without waiting for a few minutes to rest, she put the fish into the ring space and rushed straight to the imperial capital.
Exactly an hour later, Ash returned to the restaurant with a group of fish who still didn't know what was going on.
Migrina was distressed when she saw her pale face. I poured her a few bowls of hot water, and stuffed my gray palms into my sleeves to keep her warm.
After tossing and turning like this for a while, Ash was able to take the fish out of the black crystal ring.
The fish that rolled its eyes made Pink Jingjing and Noxisi couldn't bear to get into the gray coat, and they didn't dare to look at it.
The ingredients I usually see are all processed, but now I can't help but see the ingredients that are alive and still bouncing, and the kind-hearted two children can't stand it.
Migrina also looked at the fish on the board, a little overwhelmed.
This fish, she had seen. I've also eaten it, but the fishy smell that can't be removed no matter how you go there is still fresh in her memory.
on the mainland. Only the poorest people could not afford to eat meat, so they had to catch fish and eat it.
Does Ash want her to cook with these fish?
Such fishy fish, no matter how cheap she sells it, no one will want to eat it.
It's just that Migrena believes that Ash is not the kind of child who will have no purpose. I couldn't help but look forward to it in my heart.
Ash didn't say much, but took the knife from the board, skillfully scaled it, cut open the belly of the fish, cleaned its internal organs, and cleaned all the black membrane in its belly.
Then. She made a swipe close to the head and one near the tail, and slapped the side of the knife a few times.
Migrena looked strange, but saw a white spot the size of a pinpoint appearing in the flesh of the knife.
Ash pinched the white dot and pulled outward. Something as white as a hair was pulled out.
"Is this...?"
"Fishing line, go fishy."
As soon as she heard this, Migrina understood the meaning of Ash, and excitedly followed her example, and used the same method to deal with the line on the other side of the fish.
I have to say. Migrina is very talented in cooking. As soon as I learned how to get rid of the fishy smell, several ways to cook fish immediately came to mind.
Ash saw that Migrena was eager to try and began to grill the fish, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Cooking, Ash doesn't know anything, and she can eat anything for the sake of the task.
This method of removing the fishy may be known to everyone who can cook in the interstellar world, but Ash is slowly mastered in a forced life through several experiences of eating raw fish.
She didn't expect that she was just a skill she was forced to master and be able to use it here.
These fish have large bones but few small spines, and Migrena carefully picks out the bone spurs inside, cuts the fish into thin slices, and cooks these fish in the way of grilling steaks.
In her early years, she tried countless methods to get rid of the fishy smell of fish, and found that barbecue and iron plates were the best at masking the fishy smell. It's just that even then, if you really want to eat it in your mouth, it still has a strong nausea fishy smell.
Now that she knows the line exists, she is finally able to try again.
When the fish drizzled with the thick sauce was discharged from the oven, the two small ones also flew out with saliva.
"Come, come, have a taste!"
Migrena cut a small piece and stuffed it into Ash's mouth, looking at Ash with an expectant expression.
"How?"
The fishy smell of the fish is hidden by the sauce on the iron plate, and in the mouth, the fish meat is different from the meat of the animal.
The corners of the gray mouth curled, and he said lightly, "It's delicious." ”
"Great!"
Liangxiao and Migrina both tasted a few bites, and sure enough, there was almost no fishy smell.
Migrina couldn't help but wonder why they hadn't found such a way to get rid of the fishy smell.
"The fish are caught directly from the lake, we don't pay for it, this fish steak is sold at half the price of our usual meat steak, what do you say?"
The prices of the dishes in the restaurant were already very low, but Migrena was not greedy at all, but felt that she had taken advantage of half the original price, and hesitated slightly.
Nossi shook his head and said, "It's not cheap, it's not cheap at all, Ash uses magic to catch these fish!" ”
Pink Jingjing also flew up Migrena's shoulder and said, "Yes, and Aunt Migrena, you have put a lot of thought into this fish steak, and it is not worth it at all." ”
Migrina smiled and said, "That's right, where can a restaurant find a chef who can make a magician do it, our dish is worth it!" ”
There was a lot of pride in her tone, but also a little closeness. Let Ash also squint his eyes, feeling the warmth that they injected into his heart.
The first pot of fish steaks, after the consultation of several people, was cut into small slices and served out by Migreina and Ash together.
"Everyone!"
"Yo, boss lady, you're finally willing to give up!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you were hidden by David's Golden House!"
The regulars teased good-naturedly, and Migrena blushed and cleared her throat. said, "Since everyone is a regular customer, I will also spread it out with everyone." ”
"It's snowing heavily. The warehouse was running out of food, so I tried using fish as an ingredient and made a new dish. ”
"It's a grilled fish steak, if you think it's okay, just order it. If not, then I won't force everyone to clean up early and close the door. ”
As soon as these words came out, the regular customers all looked at each other.
They are all from civilian areas, and the taste of fish. There are still many people who are familiar with this.
"Boss, you're not kidding us, are you?"
"yes, can you eat this fish?"
Migrina smiled. "I didn't believe it originally, but my child found a good way to get rid of the fishy smell of fish, you don't believe it." You can taste it. ”
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the gray body holding the plate.
They knew that David's family had always been a philanthropic and a tight one. They also sponsored many orphans, and the masked child was probably disfigured and later taken in by them.
Ash has always been hiding upstairs or in the yard, standing in the restaurant as David's family, this is the first time in the world.
However, she didn't have any special emotions, but when Migrena said that she was her child, her heart seemed to skip a beat.
"Migrena, I can trust your craft, but..."
"What nonsense, you can't just take a bite."
A diner sitting next to Ash, who had been seduced by the rich aroma of the fish steak, stood up and forked a piece of fish meat with a fork and put it in his mouth.
Before he could chew a few bites, the delicate flesh had already slipped into his mouth, leaving only the taste of a thick sauce.
There was no fishy smell, but a freshness he had never tasted.
"How?"
"I ate it so fast that I didn't taste it."
The diner swallowed his saliva and told lies without changing his face, but the fork in his hand kept attacking the fish on the plate.
Now, even the most stupid people know that the fish is delicious, and suddenly a swarm of bees swarms up to compete for the fish to taste.
Ash Ben is the most wary of the approach of others, but in this case, she restrained her murderous aura and let everyone sit around her and scramble.
Pink Crystal and Nossey looked at each other and smiled, they were confident in Ash and Migrena, and they knew that the fish would be welcomed.
Migrina also smiled excitedly, and the ingredient of fish opened another window for her cooking.
"Don't worry, everyone, there are still a lot of fish, I'll cook it."
"The price is only half of the original steak, and everyone is definitely satisfied!"
At this time when the business of the small restaurant is booming, another place is as cold as an ice cellar.
Viscount Fan stood in his study, in front of him, the body of his only son.
He stood there in a daze, as if he didn't believe that his son, who was alive a moment ago, had now become a cold corpse.
Although he is a straw bag, he is indeed his only son and his only heir!
Fan looked up blankly, sat on the sofa, and looked at the two children holding the doll toy.
Boys and girls of about five or six years old look exactly the same, one holds a black bear, the other holds a pink rabbit, and eats pastries fed by the maid.
But Fan knew that they were not as harmless as they seemed, they were one of the ten under the master, and they possessed unimaginably powerful abilities, and even their appearance and age might be fake.
If it was the usual Fan, he would not dare to look at the two of them like this, but now, he not only looked directly, but also spoke out in grief, asking, "Why?" ”
The boy blinked and grinned, "Are you asking why you killed Mark?" ”
"Yes!"
"Why?" The boy tilted his head and made a thoughtful expression.
The girl asked the maid to wipe the cream from the corner of her mouth and said, "The master said he was in the way." ”
"Yes!" The boy clapped his hands and grinned, "That's right, the master said he did something he shouldn't have done." Messed with people who shouldn't be messed with, so deal with it! ”
The girl nodded straight.
Fan's heart was cold, and he clenched his fists.
He didn't understand what was wrong.
The boy jumped up and down and came to Fan's side with the bear in his arms.
"What, are you sad?"
"Why don't I lend you the bear?"
It would be too poor to describe a boy with a word like cute and innocent, and there was a trace of tears in his eyes, if it weren't for Fan knowing his details. I'm afraid it will also be shaken.
The appearance of this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses is too pink and jade, like exquisite and beautiful dolls. It makes people feel loved from the bottom of their hearts.
The girl pouted, seeming upset that the boy handed the bear to Fan.
Fan gritted his teeth and shook his head in refusal, much to the boy's frustration.
"Well, don't you want my bear? Really not either? ”
"Its fur is soft. It's very warm, and it's comfortable to hold like this. ”
Fan shook his head again.
His own son is dead, where is he in the mood to accompany this murderer.
The boy turned around with his cheeks puffed out, and when he turned his back to Fan, his expression changed suddenly, revealing a cruel and regretful expression.
Tut. It's a shame.
If he hugged Xiongxiong, then he could let him die without disobeying his master's order not to kill Fan.
It wasn't he who killed Fan anyway. It was Fan himself who hugged Xiongxiong, didn't he?
The girl glanced at the boy, and a smile came to her face.
There's a race between them, and if Fan dies, he'll kill more humans than she has.
Fan didn't know what the two children were thinking. Until the two disappeared and left, he was still immersed in the grief of Mark's death.
The next day the heavy snow stopped. Via ran all the way from home to the diner, panting.
As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was taken aback by the excitement of the restaurant.
In the midst of the crowd, a black figure was like a fluttering butterfly, quickly passing through the gap between the tables.
Wei Ya rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, who was not Ash who was shuttling between the banquets and serving plates?
"Ash... You... How do you..."
What he didn't say was, why did you come over and serve the plates?
Ash glanced at him faintly, handed him the plate directly, and said, "The three tables on the far left." ”
"Huh? Oh! ”
Via was stunned for a moment, and immediately helped.
The restaurant was filled with the smell of sauce and fish, and Via sniffled as he held his plate and wondered what the steak on the menu was.
Guessing from the name, is it a steak made of fish?
No way... He'd never heard of fish to eat.
Not long after being busy, the door of the restaurant creaked open again, and standing at the door were the blushing Morica and the expressionless werewolf Cheray.
Molica seemed a little surprised that the restaurant was more crowded than usual, and rubbed her eyes when she saw someone to make sure she was okay.
"Now, Cheray, I'm not mistaken."
"It's ash that walks around with plates, isn't it?"
Cheley frowned, and seemed to have doubts about his eyesight, and after a few more glances, he nodded in confirmation.
"Ah, you're here."
Via ran up to her at once, panting and handing her a plate, "Help... Help... The table in the middle. ”
"Huh?"
"Quick... Quick..."
Via's physical strength was not good, and he didn't help for long, and he was tired and panting.
"Oh! Good. ”
Seeing this, Molica immediately threw off her coat and joined the army of serving plates.
Cheret carried her coat and walked all the way into the kitchen, where she said hello to Migrena and the two children.
It's just that the confident werewolf once again doubts his eyesight.
What is on the kitchen counter, is it fish?
(I'm sorry to keep you waiting.) I was going to write it yesterday, but when I got home and sat in front of the computer door, suddenly the whole person felt like I had been hit hard by something, and my head was heavy, as if my hair was being pulled and something was hanging underneath. As a result, I went to bed before 8 o'clock, and according to my mother's guess, it may have been overused. But there will be two more today, and the second one will please wait, there will definitely be before nine o'clock in the evening)
