It's very strange that Ji Ran's high perception didn't realize that the little figure existed. It wasn't until the figure had come quite close that he looked up in astonishment.
It was a young girl, who looked a little younger than Lydia...... It's about fourteen years old. She was wearing a very gorgeous skirt, which hung down to her ankles, revealing only a pair of cute little red boots. Holding a small umbrella in his hand, he looks leisurely like an outing.
Her face looks like a porcelain doll, with small and delicate facial features, white and smooth skin, which looks a little unreal. Her eyes were round, her rosy lips had a hint of a smile, she was humming softly, and her face was full of carefreeness.
"Lions, bears, bunnies. Cuckoo, Eagle, Pulsatilla ......" The song hummed by the little girl had a nice tune, but the lyrics were a little weird...... Maybe it's a nursery rhyme somewhere?
The little girl walked towards Ji Ran step by step, as if her feet were not touching the ground at all. fluttering, just like that, walked in front of Ji Ran. And I don't know why, Ji Ran didn't mean to be vigilant at all, just looked at the little girl like that.
"Hey, what are you cooking? It smells so good! The little girl walked over to the pot of broth, sniffled, and looked into the pot with a look of hope.
Ji Ran suddenly snorted. It's not scientific! No matter how relaxed you are, you can't relax to the point where you don't have any vigilance at all! This little girl only reacted when she got here, this is definitely not her normal appearance!
Could it be that you have fallen into some kind of psychic magic? He'd heard the name psychic magic, but he'd never felt it...... Psychic magic is so rare, and the talent it requires is very different from other magic. But you can just watch xiàn yourself. It's not far from the rumored psychic magic......
Ji Ran, who came to his senses, looked at the little girl, and there was a storm in his heart. But he didn't make any radical appearances - here, such a strange little girl appeared, what if he was too radical?
If the other party has malicious intentions, I'm afraid I won't be able to sober up by now, right?
This is the territory of the Gold-level Demonic Beasts. The appearance of such a little girl is very abnormal. And this little girl is suspected of being good at very rare psychic magic...... This strange situation, even if you take precautions yourself, is probably useless?
In that case, why should he release his hostility?
"The soup I made myself should taste good, do you want to try it?" Come to think of it. Ji Ran was indifferent. The little girl didn't show any malice, and there was no need for her to bother herself. What's more, this little girl is really cute......
"Really? I want to try it! The little girl immediately rejoiced, looked at Ji Ran with wide eyes, and squatted down next to the soup pot. The umbrella was still on top of his head. A shadow was cast around her body.
Wrong! The umbrella...... Not an ordinary umbrella!
The surface of the umbrella is translucent, but if you look closely, it is not any fabric, but closer to metal...... While translucent metal may sound quirky, it's just the way it is. The surface of the umbrella exudes a metallic sheen that cannot be faked.
Moreover, this umbrella surface is not a large piece. Rather, it was as if dozens or hundreds of small pieces of metal were stacked on top of each other. Layered on top of each other, like fish scales. But the fit is extremely tight, and at a cursory glance, it only looks like a fine pattern, and it is not a whole piece at all.
And the umbrella bone is the same, the construction is extremely precise, and even has a mechanical feel. But only by looking closely can we see a little clue. If you don't look closely, it's not much different from an ordinary umbrella.
Ji Ran glanced at the umbrella a few times. He didn't say much, but gave the little girl a bowl of broth. It's said to be broth, but in fact, there are more wild vegetables, mushrooms, herbs and other things in it, just a few pieces of meat. These things combine to make this pot of soup delicious. A little more fat and a boost in cooking skills make this soup delicious.
The little girl took the soup that Ji Ran gave him, blew a few sips gently, and then took a sip of the soup carefully.
"Wow, that's delicious! I've never had such a delicious soup! The mushrooms fuse with the oils and fats, and all the umami in them is released. Coupled with the fragrance of these wild vegetables, as well as the harmony of this fragrant bud leaves, many aromas are beautifully blended together......" After the little girl took a sip of the soup, she closed her eyes in intoxication, and her mouth was full of analysis of the broth.
Ji Ran was stunned for a moment, and then was overjoyed: "You can actually drink the inside of my broth?" It's amazing! It's the first time I've met someone who can tell the essence of what I'm cooking...... In the past, they would only say that it was delicious, but they didn't know why it was delicious! ”
The little girl opened her eyes and looked at Ji Ran with a smile: "Of course, I am a legendary gourmet, a person who seeks the pinnacle of food!" But the broth you made is so delicious, perfectly bringing out all the characteristics of all the ingredients, the best chef I have ever met! ”
Ji Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. As a foodie, the happiest thing is to meet another knowledgeable foodie. He has always been proud of his cooking, but others know that his cooking is delicious, but they can't tell why. Unexpectedly, today I actually met a like-minded person in this weird place!
No matter what the identity of that little girl is, this friend has made up her own hands!
"When you drink broth, you have to pair it with something else that doesn't conflict but fills the texture. The conditions here are relatively simple, so this is the only one, and you can try it together. ”
Ji Ran took out the rhizomes from the fire, wiped them clean on the grass next to them, cooled them a little, and handed them to the little girl.
The little girl learned from Ji Ran to slowly peel off the skin of the rhizome that was similar to the sweet potato, and then put the golden filamentous inner pulp inside into her mouth.
"That's right, it tastes even better with this! It gives you a feeling of fullness in your mouth, and the aroma of the broth blends together to make it a harmless delicacy! The little girl's exaggerated exclamation made Ji Ran feel comfortable.
This feeling of meeting a bosom friend is so cool!
"Hahaha, I'm so happy that someone appreciates my cooking. By the way, my name is Ji Ran, can I ask your name? Ji Ran looked at the little girl very kindly now, and he already regarded her as a close person inside and outside of the words, and the questions were much more casual.
"Of course, my name is Alice. I didn't expect to meet such a good chef when I came here to play...... Will you cook any other delicious dishes? Alice opened her eyes and looked at Ji Ran expectantly.
"Of course...... In fact, I can make at least a few hundred different dishes to ...... As long as there are enough ingredients. Ji Ran was happy, and he also handed over his bottom a little.
"Great...... What a happy thing it would be if I could follow you all the time and eat the dishes you cooked......" The little girl's innocent appearance made Ji Ran feel in a trance.
"Can you give me some more broth?" Alice looked at Ji Ran pitifully.
"No problem!" Ji Ran took the little girl's bowl and filled her with another bowl.
Two people like this, you have a bowl and I have a bowl, and you drink a pot of broth cleanly. Not only the broth, but also the roasted rhizomes. Ji Ran didn't expect that Alice's small body would eat no smaller than his own at all. My pot of broth and so many rhizomes are not enough for two people to eat.
"Wait a minute, I'll make you something to eat!" Ji Ran is now in great interest. It's rare to meet a bosom friend, how can you do it if you don't eat her happy!
"There's no need to rush...... I've eaten so much of you, and I should repay you. I have some delicious food here, why don't you try it too? Alice said, not knowing where to pull out a box. After opening it, he took out a piece of pastry that looked quite soft and delicious from it and handed it to Ji Ran.
To be honest, Ji Ran doesn't know how to make Western-style pastries...... Although it can be a little, it is definitely not proficient. But he can see that this pastry is extremely exquisite, and the ingredients used are also quite high-end. Just now, the little girl drank the connotation of his broth in one gulp, so he must not be left behind!
"Hmm...... The finest flour with sweet honey. There are also petals of the Moon Spirit Grass, and there should be fresh cream...... Hey, it seems that there is also jade fruit in it? ”
Ji Ran was surprised. The ingredients here are not just high-end, but luxurious! Flour, honey, cream or something, the moon spirit grass is a fairly rare spirit grass, and the petals after flowering have the effect of enhancing magic power. And the nature of the jade fruit is to increase the physique!
If someone is injured, eat a jade fruit, and the degree of healing from the injury can even be comparable to that of ordinary alchemy potions, and there are no side effects!
If the jade fruit was given to Ji Ran to use for cooking, it would definitely be able to make healing dishes comparable to high-grade alchemy elixirs......
Such a piece of pastry is actually put on such a high-end thing! Even if this jade fruit is an alchemy master, he doesn't dare to say that he can take it casually!
Ji Ran looked at Alice in astonishment, and the other party smiled slyly: "How about it, the things I took out are also quite good, right?" ”
Ji Ran moved his mouth twice, felt the sweetness in his mouth, and let out a sigh. If the pot of broth made by himself is delicious with ordinary ingredients, just like a small jasper who is good at dressing up, then this high point is a princess who is naturally beautiful, gorgeously dressed, and imposing!
"Hmm...... Pretty good. Whether it is the combination of ingredients or the fusion of flavors, it is the best! Eating this high point, Ji Ran's heart was silently crying.
When will you be able to use this material to cook so luxuriously?
