Chapter 16: I want to.... Be a maid!
"Yes, add some salt at the end, and you're ready to go. "The white wolf is standing next to the stove and teaching Rika how to make dinner, the purple leaf potato rhizome is a potato-like thing, and the white wolf is now teaching Rika how to make stir-fried shredded potatoes.
Although Rika automatically took on the duties of a cook, she was not very good at cooking at all, or the way of cooking in another world was a bit monotonous and terrible, and after eating steamed "potatoes" and "mashed potatoes" for two consecutive days, the white wolf finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he decided to teach Rika some chef skills from that world.
Fried shredded potatoes can be said to be the simplest home-cooked dish, as long as the knife skills are slightly passable, you can do it very well, Rika is very skillful, but it is also the first time she has cut potatoes into such thin shreds, Rika thinks this method is quite novel.
Then there is a simple stir-fry, in order to make the bottom of the pot evenly heated, the white wolf did not use firewood to heat, but directly drew a fire element magic array on the stove, this magic array was learned when he communicated with Alyssa, fused with three fire element runes, and can solidify them into a magic array, as long as the white wolf uses some special means to excite, it can continuously emit a uniform flame.
The magic array stove comes with the function of adjusting the size of the flame, because it does not need dangerous fuels such as gas, it can be said to be quite safe and simple, but this magic array is not infinitely used, it must use the blood of the white wolf as a magic medium, and with the growth of use time, there will be wear and tear, in order to repair the magic array, the white wolf has to continue to bleed, but thinking of food, the white wolf gritted his teeth and endured, this little effort is completely worth it.
As for why it is necessary to use the blood of the white wolf, this is because according to Alyssa, the blood of the white wolf has a very strong ability to affinity with the magic element, and even some high-grade alchemy materials do not have such a strong elemental affinity. After hearing this, the white wolf was a little unconvinced, until he personally found some blood and materials from other animals to conduct experiments, and found that he could not activate the magic array at all, so he gradually believed it. Lately, though, he'd always felt that Alyssa had a strange look at him, as if a treasure hunter had found a treasure, always glittering with gold. The white wolf always has goosebumps on his body.
The problem of the stove is solved, and then it is time to get to the point, the white wolf cut off a thick layer of subcutaneous fat from the dead dragon corpse, boiled into animal oil, speaking of which this dragon corpse is indeed quite strange, exposed to the air for several days without mold, the white wolf can't figure out why, maybe this dragon in addition to the talent of fire, but also has its own talent for embalming.
Introducing the oil into the hot pan, the oil boiled after a while, and the splashed oil droplets jumped out, Rika was so frightened that she quickly dodged it, and the white wolf did not watch Rika be splashed by the hot oil droplets, creating a water film between Rika and the pot. In this way, in order for the oil droplets to splash on Rika, they must first pass through the water film. In order to prevent the smoke from hurting Rika, the white wolf used wind elemental magic to create a strong air flow similar to a range hood on it, so that the oil smoke would be directly sucked out of the window by the strong wind.
The white wolf didn't notice that after he had done this, Rika looked at him with gratitude in her eyes.
Lika first put the chopped green onion into the oil pot, and the oil droplets splashed even more in an instant, the green onion was found by the white wolf in the villagers' fields, and the taste was very similar to the green onion in that world, and it also had a little sourness, which was very suitable for seasoning.
When the green onion was fried in the oil pan until a little green onion fragrance was released, Lika understood that it was time to put the shredded purple leaf potato rhizome into the oil pot according to the white wolf's teaching, and immediately white smoke overflowed, which were small droplets mixed with oil and water, but as soon as they appeared, they were smoked out of the window by the white wolf brand "range hood".
Rika picked up the wooden spoon and stir-fried it in the pot, and after a while, the "shredded potatoes" turned golden brown and looked ready to be cooked.
"Hmm! it smells good," Elisa's voice came from outside the door, she had been out for another day today, her voice sounded tired, it seemed that she had not found the flower of life today.
The meal was quickly put on the table, consisting of freshly made stir-fried "shredded potatoes", steamed eggs, stir-fried dragon meat with radish and egg drop soup with radishes. It smells appetizing, and it is divided into three parts, because the white wolf can't digest the vegetables, so the two girls eat a little more, and the white wolf has to add a meal after eating, and the dragon meat left in the warehouse is enough for him to eat for a while.
"Lord White Wolf, I have a wish. Rika spoke suddenly, the child who was usually silent, and now he suddenly spoke, which immediately aroused the curiosity of the other two men and the wolf.
"Oh, what's your wish? By the way, don't call me an adult anymore, you can call me brother or uncle. The white wolf swallowed the dragon meat in his mouth and looked at Rika with interest.
"Lord White Wolf! Please teach me more cooking skills!I never thought these things could be so delicious!" Rika directly ignored the white wolf's last sentence, clenched her hands into fists, and looked at the white wolf expectantly, with little stars flashing in her eyes.
"Well, yes... It would be great if you were willing to learn" I didn't expect Rika to make such a request, as a foodie who couldn't do it himself, he couldn't be more welcome, so he agreed without hesitation.
"Really....?" Rika, who got the white wolf's consent, hesitated, the white wolf didn't understand what she was hesitating at first, and after thinking about it for a while, it took a while to understand that whether it was in the original world or in this world, learning a skill had to pay a price, and Alyssa's father could be said to have spent a considerable price in order to send her to the Noble Magic Academy. This kind of cooking is a means of making a living, and it is generally not passed on, and it seems a little strange that a white wolf agrees to come down without any price, and it is no wonder that Rika hesitates.
"However, there is a price to pay for wanting to learn. The white wolf finished the meal and said a little lazily.
"What... What is the price?" Rika's hesitant expression disappeared, and it was obvious that she was a little worried in her expression now, probably a little afraid of the white wolf and lion opening her mouth.
"The price is that during my studies, I can cook and wash the dishes. The white wolf yawned in reply
"Hmm... Do you mean that you want me to be your maid?, yes, I agreed!" Listening to the white wolf's request, Rika seemed to be afraid that the white wolf would regret it, so she agreed with some excitement.
"Maid... This kid seems to have misunderstood something.... But it doesn't matter. The white wolf sighed helplessly.
And Alyssa, who was on the side, was also amused by the naïve Rika, as if she had watched a burlesque and covered her mouth and snickered.
