Chapter 13 Pleasant
In the blink of an eye, the team's previous serious and efficient atmosphere of ordering and prohibiting completely disappeared, and the guard room suddenly became lively.
It must be admitted that once a thorough security check has been carried out to confirm that there are no hidden dangers, this security room is simply the best place to camp.
There's no need to clean up the grounds, no tents, no wild beasts, just throw your heavy backpack and put your sleeping bag on the bed and you're done.
Of course, this is just a matter of thinking, and even though most of the things are ready-made, setting up a camp is not that simple.
First of all, there must be fire.
Even if you don't need to drive away wild animals and keep out the cold, at least you need to cook food, and fire is a must-have for the camp.
The sixty-centimeter-diameter column-shaped crystal energy furnace was stuffed with a small red fire attribute spar to activate, and the flame immediately ignited. The two crystal energy stoves were placed side by side, and the alternating flames reflected the orange light on their faces, giving everyone a little more warm taste on their faces.
Where there is fire, how can there be no water?
Everyone will carry some solid compressed water with them, which can last them for at least five days, but it is a life-saving stockpile, and they still need to use normal liquid water in normal times. However, the amount of liquid water carried often cannot meet the whole consumption, and in this case, it is necessary to use local materials.
The easiest way is to find a water source, or rivers, lakes and seas, or simply dig wells on flat ground, anyway, with Mobuck, a geological expert, it is easy to dig wells and find water.
But when the conditions don't allow, don't be embarrassed, you really can't find water, you can still make something out of nothing. Although the ice and water made by magic are undrinkable, with them, the water will not be far away.
Three thin closed copper balls hung in the air, adjusting the distance from the fire source, not too far and not too close, the copper balls were stuffed with ice made by Mia herself that would not melt for a few days, and the container was placed underneath. Soon, the copper ball was covered with fine water droplets, and the sound of ticking water was connected into a string, as if a cheerful sonata was sounded.
The crystal energy furnace in the dwarf's package, the copper ball of water drawn on Lin Jing's back, what is missing is the large aluminum pot behind the halfling.
The cylindrical aluminium pot was filled with water—not the ones that had not yet been collected, of course, but the reserve water—and under the scorching heat of the fire, lovely bubbles of water were bubbling from the bottom of the water.
"Hehehehehe".
A few powerful gold-level combat professionals, a few experienced shadow chasers, and a few experts in their respective fields were like a group of children at this time, looking at the boiling boiling water blankly, revealing a stupid, but happy smile.
Yes, shuttling between life and death, suffering from blood and pain, and fighting the most terrifying unknowns, after such a day, what could be warmer, more reassuring, and happier than sitting around the fire and waiting for dinner with anticipation?
And, of course, there's the food itself.
That's right, the best food cooked by Shul himself.
The dark red bacon has a thick fat on the edge, and it is boldly cut into thick slices of little finger thickness and thrown into the water, and between a few tumblings, the rich aroma of bacon fills the room, and a layer of transparent grease floats on the water surface. Cucumbers, potatoes, radishes and green beans, throw these best preserved ordinary vegetables into it, white, yellow, red, green, all kinds of colors tumbling up and down in the boiling water, so that the fat in the water can penetrate into the cut vegetables little by little.
"Don't be stunned, hurry up and prepare, who dares to be lazy and have nothing to eat for a while. ”
The so-called preparation, in addition to the placement of the tableware, is also the most important one.
The dwarf happily moved out the contents of the dormitory boxes and cabinets, and the halfling pried open the door to the arsenal and put everything inside in separate categories.
The female swordsman held all the books on the bookshelf in her arms, although she couldn't read a word, but she still put them next to Shu'er like an invitation, in exchange for a few pats on the head, which filled her with strange happiness in addition to being shy, and the two mages sorted out all the clutter in the activity room, picking out useful things and putting them together.
Everything is ready, just wait for the show to begin.
This is the most important program when the Shuer team rests, after eating enough, lazily around the fire, looking through the loot obtained, valuable harvest, you can enjoy the joy of harvest, even if the loot has no value, you can also feel the heavy historical weight from these ancient items, to imagine the life of a group of people who don't know.
As for the beautiful Ms. Lin Jing, since she ran out of the monitoring room with those pink albums and insisted on letting Xiuer use them, she cried and was forced to help by the domineering captain.
Everyone is preparing, and Shuer's movements are not slow.
In the cooking pot, the vegetables, melons and beans have gradually softened, and the color of the bacon has begun to turn white, now is the best time.
Quickly scooped up the slices of meat in the water, and the bacon, which was originally dry, hard and salty, had become soft and the color had become a light brown color that was ripe.
Put the bacon slices into the pan on your back, the sticky butter slices stick to the meat slices and fry together, the butter slowly melts, little by little into the texture of the bacon, the sweet butter aroma and the meat aroma are entangled together, turning into the most delicious breath.
"No, I can't stand it. The dwarf who was sitting by the fire early, looking at the pan with his eyes open, clutched the ale wine bag in his hand, swallowed loudly, and snorted hard and shouted, "Captain, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait, this piece is the fattest, no one is allowed to rob me, suck, it's so fragrant." ”
"Fool, look at your gluttonous look, a piece of fried meat has made you like this, and you have the face to say that you are a well-informed mercenary, idiot. "Naturally, the one who will attack him is his best friend, the halfling Macajelen, "Boss, don't let him develop the bad habit of being a picky eater, ignore him, don't give him that piece of meat, add a big bowl by the way...... Bang, jingle ......"
War is always the most direct way to fight for food, and so, war broke out.
"Is this a cooking method from your hometown?" the necromancer, dressed in sparse cloth, sat lazily, his smooth feet just exposed to Shure's gaze, his toes wriggling.
"No, it's just the most common cooking method in the Korra Kingdom, I've just combined it a little. ”
"Impossible. Miridy slowly licked the tip of her tongue around her lips and said in a sweet voice, "I've been to and from the kingdom of Cora countless times, why haven't I ever eaten something so delicious?" ”
"Because the food made by those people doesn't contain my love for you. Shul narrowed his eyes with a smile and said meaningfully, "How about it, Mistress Miriday, would you like to feel my love more deeply?" ”
"Hey, sooner or later...... You wait, will make you beg me on your knees. ”
"I begg, I beg, I'll kneel and beg now. The halfling came up with drooling and a hippie smile.
"Hee-hee, it's hilarious. Hiding behind Shuer, the female swordsman Safu looked at the lively teammates with a smile, and her heart was warm.
Is that what friends feel like? It doesn't seem that scary, but it's safer here. Thinking like this, the girl shrank behind Shul again, resting her shoulders on his thighs and sighing reassuringly.
"Alright. Shure suddenly slapped the table and shouted heroically, "Bring the plates." ”
"Hmm, is this the momentum of a chef, so powerful, so powerful. The half-human, half-deer Lin Jing knelt on the ground on all fours, just at the same height as the others were sitting, supporting his chin with his hands on his cheeks, and smiling heartlessly.
"The first dinner has finally begun. Serving everyone food, Shul raised his glass, "Cheers to the next dinner." ”
"Hahaha, that's right, for the next dinner, cheers. The room was filled with laughter, and it was clear that Shure's toast was to everyone's appetite.
In fact, this is the reality that needs to be faced every day in the movie, after a day of wits and courage with everything around you, you can still have the opportunity to sit down and have dinner together, which is a very happy thing.
As for the next dinner, who still has a chance to eat it, and who doesn't need it anymore, this kind of thing is left to worry about after the meal, and what to do now is to enjoy the dinner carefully prepared by the captain.
The dinner was not complicated, but delicious and unforgettable.
The potatoes and radishes are stewed softly, the jade melon is soft and chewy, and the refreshing taste of Cuizhu beans is closest to fresh green leafy vegetables, mixed with the fat of bacon, and then all the flavors are blended together with thick cream.
Dig a big spoonful of pasty creamy vegetable soup, and then with a large mouthful of salty and fragrant fried bacon, the boiled bacon has a moderate soft and hard taste after frying, and it doesn't feel greasy at all, and people who eat it often feel that they just taste it, but the plate in front of them has already entered the stomach.
"That piece is mine, damn little man, you don't want to grab it from me. ”
"Even an idiot dwarf dares to call someone a dwarf, gambling on the dignity of a thief, and you don't want to eat a piece. ”
As always, the war over food broke out again, and the two mages sat side by side, watching the farce of the dwarves and halflings without saying a word.
A dignified mage in the end will never be as uneducated as a rude warrior and thief, and of course it is impossible to get into a lump with a few slices of fried meat, but it would be better if the fried meat on the plate did not constantly change position under the magical control of the mage's hands and spatial shifters.
"Hey, hey, hey. Saph smirked, the shy girl didn't dare to express her joy, but every touch on Shuer's shoulder made her feel happy.
Saph did feel so happy that he wouldn't feel jealous even when he saw Shul stuff a few jars of jam into Moria.
The fawn's words are not bad, as long as they can often have happy adventures together like this, then there is nothing extreme to be exceeded, don't you say, Moria.
"Yo Yo Yo. Licking the lid of one of his favorite jam jars, the forest spirit let out a string of deer chirps.
"Ha, Moria, you're pretending to be annoying again. Passing over Shul, Saf punched the deer in the back a few times in exchange for a spoonful of sweet jam that he had stuffed into his mouth.
Dinner time by the fire is still so cozy and peaceful.
