Chapter 22: I'm Just Joking!
Because there is no relationship between staple food, and mapo tofu is very spicy, Lin Yiyan prepared a cup of cold boiled water for Asuna in advance and placed it next to Asuna. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Under the persuasion of Lin Yiyan, Asuna looked at the blue sea not far away, picked up the spoon by the way, scooped a spoonful on the fresh and emerald green, red and white plate, and then put the mapo tofu that was still trembling slightly into her mouth.
Lin Yiyan's cooking is delicious, which is recognized by everyone, as long as the girls in the guild talk about eating, the most anticipated is Lin Yiyan's cuisine. But when she ate this mapo tofu, which tasted far better than her usual dishes, Asuna, who had been tightening her face, also showed a surprised expression.
In the face of the numbness and spiciness, the spicy taste of the hot sauce after the entrance 'flutters' into the mouth, and the tender tofu is smooth and refreshing from the mouth, adding that little bit of meat foam, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which further adds to the flavor of mapo tofu!
In an instant, an extreme spiciness, Asuna's tears flowed involuntarily, and with the sound of the waves, an inexplicable thought instantly let go of a person's mind. Asuna had never felt so relaxed, as if everything was back in her mother's arms.
Asuna was crying and 'inhaling' her mouth, feeling very spicy, but she kept sending spoons into her mouth, and the frequency was constantly accelerating. Soon, a large plate of mapo tofu all went into Asuna's stomach, and after eating, Asuna gave herself a sip of ice water to relieve the feeling of spitting fire.
"Thanks... After putting down the spoon and giving herself a glass of ice water, Asuna thanked Lin Yiyan with a hoarse voice, but this hoarse voice made Asuna's face involuntarily red, and she lowered her head a little embarrassed.
"Isn't it great! Pity! Here's the game! The real mapo tofu is even spicier than this~! Hearing Asuna's thanks, Lin Yiyan said with a smile, "The next time I have the opportunity, in the real world, I am taking you to the beach, see the real ocean, and taste the most authentic cuisine!" That's the best feeling! ”
Asuna didn't speak, just nodded seriously, nodding in response to Lin Yiyan's invitation. Faced with this situation, Lin Yiyan asked with a smile, "How does it taste?" This mapo tofu? I guess this is the first time I've made mapo tofu in the game! ”
"It tastes good! It's also the most delicious mapo tofu I've ever tasted! I don't think it's even in the real world to have such delicious mapo tofu! Asuna replied softly with a slightly red face, and Asuna, who had been straining her face since just now, took the initiative to ask Lin Yiyan, "I see that you are busy clearing this game every day, as well as their practice guidance, why...... Do you put so much effort into cooking? ”
"I wanted to beat the game as soon as possible, but my usual behavior was more of a simple study of the rules of the world - just like I did in the past world. As for the craftsmanship of the cooking...... This is the most precious 'treasure' that Master has taught me. ”
"Speaking of which, I've always only known that Yi Yan is very good at cooking, but I've never heard of Yi Yan learning to cook?" Faced with Asuna's question, Lin Yiyan seemed to remember something, looked at Asuna with a reminiscing expression and said, "Since you want to hear it, I'll tell you about it briefly!" ”
After speaking, Lin Yiyan looked up at the ceiling, as if talking to himself, and sighed, "You know, when I first learned cooking with Master, on the first day I came, Master gave me golden fried rice, and on the second day, I was given this mapo tofu!" The first dish I learned was the golden fried rice that Master gave me on the first day, and the second dish I learned was this mapo tofu! There is also the magic mapo tofu with the most extreme taste of six flavors in one! ”
"Master also has two children, a daughter and a son, when he accepted me as a disciple, Master had two disciples before me, one betrayed Master, but in the end, Master's son cleaned it up, and the other disciple and her son, as well as me! The three of us passed the hardest Grand Chef test in the world of Chinese cuisine together! The three of us are best friends and rivals for life! Neither of us wants to lose to each other in terms of cuisine! ”
"Who are they?" Asuna asked, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Master's first disciple was Shao'an, who betrayed Master and joined the Dark Cuisine Realm! It is the one who was cleaned up by the master's son, the little master Liu Yuexing! And the other disciple is called Lan Feihong, we all call him Ah Fei! As for the last one, it's me! Next, Lin Yiyan chattered about some experiences in the world of the little master, briefly told Asuna some wonderful events, and made Asuna giggle like a silver bell.
"Your master is so powerful!" After hearing this, Asuna sighed, "She taught three disciples, including her children, to become master chefs!" I didn't expect your cooking tests to be so rigorous! ”
"Yes! Master Abbe can be said to have changed my life! That's one of my most respected elders! Even if Master is gone, now I have to work hard to practice cooking in order not to embarrass Master, of course! The main thing is that I can't lose to Little Master and Ah Fei! I don't want to see each other again and my cooking skills will be a mess! Saying this, Lin Yiyan withdrew his casual gaze and chuckled.
Asuna didn't speak, just looked at Lin Yiyan's handsome face and that sunny smile! At this moment, Asuna finally understood why Lin Yiyan always looked different, why he was always able to attract others unconsciously, and he could make people take the initiative to approach him! It's because of this heart-warming feeling!
"Speaking of which, always talk about me!" Looking at Asuna who was looking at him intently, Lin Yiyan asked with a curious smile, "Asuna, why don't you also talk about your affairs?" Say whatever you want! Tell us why you got into this game, right? ”
"I got into this game on a whim at first!" Asuna looked at Lin Yiyan intently, blinked her eyes several times in succession, and then said in an exclamatory tone, "My father is the former CEO of RECT, a large electronic product manufacturer, and my mother is a professor at a university. Due to family factors, I grew up under the strong expectations of my parents from a young age. My parents were strict with themselves, and although they were gentle with me, the more I was afraid to see their disappointed expressions. ”
"In this regard, my brother should be the same. My brother and I both attended the private school of our parents' choice, and we never had any problems, and our grades remained in the top few grades. When my brother, who was a big age difference, was admitted to university and left home, I was full of thoughts about responding to my parents' expectations. Learn a variety of talents and only communicate with friends that your parents approve of. ”
"However, I don't know when this life began, and I felt that my world was shrinking and stiffening. I was also often afraid that if I went in the direction that my parents had decided to go to high school or college, and marry the person my parents had chosen, I would be stuffed into a shell that was smaller than myself and would never be able to escape. ”
At this point, Asuna paused and continued, "So, when my brother, who came home from a company run by his father, got Nervgear and SAO through the pipes, and told the world's first VRMMO with a rare glint in his eyes, he didn't even touch a TV amusement instrument, and he began to take a little interest in this incredible new world. ”
"Of course, if my brother only uses it in his own room, I think I'll forget about nervgear soon. But as it happened, my brother had to go on a business trip abroad on the day SAO started, so I asked him to borrow a day to play. I wanted to see a world I'd never seen before, but I just entered the game of SAO based on this mentality, and now that I think about it, I didn't dare to be interested in the game at all, so why did I suddenly want to do that? ”
After saying that, Asuna kept silently looking at the ceiling, her eyes a little dazed, not knowing what was going on in her heart. After Lin Yiyan heard it, he said with a joking tone, "Probably...... It's to meet me. ”
Lin Yiyan's answer instantly made Asuna's face red, and she looked at Lin Yiyan very wordlessly, as if she was surprised by Lin Yiyan's cheekiness. Without letting Asuna have time to go crazy, Lin Yiyan added jokingly, "Half of what I said just now was a joke." ”
"It's a joke!" Asuna stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, but Asuna hadn't completely exhaled this breath before she realized something, and suddenly said, "Wait, wait! Something seems wrong just now! Why half? What do you mean by half of the jokes? ”
"Maybe you entered the game because you met 'someone'! Of course, you can also interpret this person as my words, and I have no objection! Lin Yiyan replied seriously. I don't know why, but this joke, which didn't seem to be much different from the one just now, made Asuna's heart flutter.
Isn't that no different from what I just said? That 'someone' is yourself! Really! If you play tricks on me like that, I'm welcome. Asuna, who was flushed, used the spoon in her hand as a thin sword, and suddenly waved it at Lin Yiyan, as if the system had judged it to be successful, and the spoon also emitted a light blue light!
