Chapter 1695: Roast Whole Sheep
McGonagall and Edie chatted about the changes in the City of Chaos, about life on the prairie, and about the vastness of the world beyond.
Talking to older people, you can always get some lessons from their words, even if it is just a herdsman who traveled far away when she was young, the conversation still benefits McGonagall a lot.
Alfonso listened quietly, adding charcoal to the oven from time to time, and his eyes were more often focused on McGonagall, who seemed to have a light shining inside.
In the mouth of this distinguished guest, the outside world was wider and more wonderful than his grandfather's mouth, with dragons soaring above the sky, tall treemen like hills, dwarves skilled in building and forging...... and huge cities built on flat ground.
"Decades have passed, the outside world has changed dramatically, the herdsmen on the grassland are still grazing slowly, it has not changed, but it is a pity that the young people in the tribe have no other skills except grazing, and they can't even get out of the grassland." Edie said with some emotion.
"People outside are envious of your carefreeness, but you are envious of the flower world outside, this world, it's hard to say." McGonagall's gaze looked beyond the fire to the young people wrestling not far away, such a simple smile, such a simple life, it was not easy to find outside.
Edie looked at McGonagall with some surprise, thought for a moment, and nodded a little ashamedly, "It's me who is greedy." ”
McGonagall smiled, didn't answer Edie's words, and her eyes fell on Alfonso on the side, he felt his gaze just now, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to see the outside world?" ”
Alfonso was stunned, then hurriedly stood up, watched McGonagall nod and replied in a non-standard pronunciation, "Yes." ”
McGonagall smiled at his nowhere to put his hand, took a money bag from her bosom, took ten dragon coins and ten gold coins from it, and wrote an address on a piece of paper with the pen she had brought with her and handed it to Alfonso, "When you can communicate fluently with your grandfather in the lingua franca, if you still want to see the outside world, come to me at this address." ”
Alfonso's expression gradually became excited, his hand holding the dragon coin was trembling, and he bowed deeply to McGonagall, and said gratefully, "Thank you...... Thank you. ”
"This is unacceptable, guest, so much money, Alfonso can't afford it." Edie hurriedly got up and was about to return the money to McGonagall.
"It's normal for young people to want to go to the outside world to see, just like when you also went out to the grassland." McGonagall gently pressed Edie's hand, looked at Alfonso and smiled: "Moreover, if the young people of the grassland want to live well in the outside world, in fact, they don't have to be able to fight and kill, times have changed, as long as he can learn your art of roasting mutton, when he arrives in the city of chaos, I will help him arrange it." ”
Edie looked at Alfonso's expectant gaze, and her heart suddenly softened, how could she not know what her grandson thought, since he was a child, he has tried to run away from home, which is exactly the same as he was back then.
"Then I'll bother you." Edie bowed deeply to McGonagall.
"You're welcome, just take it as the reward for this roasted whole sheep." McGonagall smiled and looked at the roasted whole lamb on the grill that had turned golden brown, compared to the previous kebabs, the aroma of this roasted whole lamb was more unscrupulous, and the fragrance of this roasted lamb was a little different from the fragrance of the blue sheep, and the aroma of this roasted sheep was more layered and lasted for a long time.
Edie flipped the roast lamb, looked up at McGonagall and said, "Guest, this sheep is almost roasted, is it time to eat it?" ”
"Roasted whole lamb, of course, it is best to eat it fresh." McGonagall smiled and nodded, and got up to beckon everyone to come back and eat the whole lamb.
"This sheep is so lazy, like an ugly duckling, why can't they catch up with Miss Anna." Amy rode back on the sheep and sat on the back of the sheep and muttered disgustedly.
"Baa~"
"Meow~"
The sheep and the ugly duckling barked innocently.
McGonagall looked at the obedient fat sheep that had been trained, and was a little surprised at how Amy had persuaded it.
"It's fun to ride a horse." Anna was dismounted by Shiryl, her little face full of excited smiles.
Mia and Jane walked back talking and laughing, Angela and Jane were obviously much closer to the others, and they also had smiles on their faces, looking very harmonious.
"It smells so good." Amy jumped off the sheep's back, looked at the whole roasted sheep with golden oil on the grill with bright eyes, swallowed her saliva and said, "It's really gluttonous to roast the lazy sheep like this...... Cruel, but I like it. ”
"Wash your hands first, and then we can start eating." McGonagall took a wooden basin with warm water from the herdsman girl next to her and beckoned Amy to come and wash her hands.
Everyone washed their hands, Edie gave everyone a short knife, and the whole roast sheep on the grassland was eaten directly with a knife, but the freshly roasted hot roast sheep was a little inconvenient for the two children and the girls.
McGonagall brought her own knife, and the fathead fish was unsheathed, and she cut a plate of mutton, which was connected by flesh and bone, and it would be much easier to get started and enter.
"Father, can I ask for a leg of lamb?" Amy asked, staring at a leg of mutton.
"Absolutely." McGonagall picked up the knife and cut off a leg of lamb for Amy and handed it to Amy, the little guy was growing his body, and the amount of food he could eat was worth two or three ordinary adults.
"Thank you." Amy took the roast leg of lamb and happily hugged it and nibbled on it.
McGonagall also cut two catties of mutton for herself and put it on the plate, he had already paid for the roast whole lamb, 11,000 copper coins to buy a roast whole sheep, so this roast sheep has no psychological pressure to deal with.
Edie looked at this scene with some surprise, this was a little different from the way they ate roasted whole sheep, but he didn't ask much about it, maybe this was the habit of the distinguished guests.
Of course, what surprised him even more was McGonagall's knife work, which did not look like a working hand, and was able to play with a wide and thick square knife, which amazed him, a man who had dealt with sheep all his life.
McGonagall picked up a piece of lamb with skin and bones, and the smell of gluttony came to her nose, the roasted golden skin was shiny, and the lamb turned brown, and the aroma of the leaves of the baka wood mixed in.
Without hesitation, McGonagall took a bite of the lamb.
"Click."
The burnt skin makes a crisp sound in the chewing of the teeth, and the burnt aroma immediately fills the mouth, and the right heat gives it the most attractive taste and taste, which is not much better than the skin of Peking duck.
Under the burnt skin, the mutton is exceptionally tender, and the rich fat under the skin gives the mutton good protection, so that it does not lose its soul under the high temperature, but is sublimated.
The sweetness of this mutton is even better than the previous lamb kebabs, and in addition to the fragrance of the baka leaves, the meat also has a faint aroma, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, the taste buds have already surrendered, and the wonderful taste makes people can't help but immerse themselves in it.
