Chapter Twenty-Seven: The God of Food
Where will Master Manny go at this time?
"Xiaomei, do you know where the master went?" asked Jiawen towards Xiaomei.
"I don't know, the old man has always been secretive, I'm afraid it's not so easy to find. Xiaomei also seemed to be confused, stopped the flying magic, and landed on the table.
"Don't you know?" Garvin raised an eyebrow.
"Brother Jiawen, the master is probably busy at this moment, so if you can't see him, forget it, let's go back first. Lucy suggested from the side.
"Well, we don't care, the key is what Xiaomei should do, when the badge went in, I still borrowed it from the master, how can I do it if I don't return it to him personally. Garvin pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and scratched his head.
"Xiaomei is a wise puppet, and she is not an ignorant child, and it is impossible for her to get lost. Knowing what Gavin meant, Lucy waved her hand, unimpressed.
After thinking for a moment, Jiawen set his eyes on Xiaomei.
"Okay, okay, don't bother you, I'll just wait here for him to come back. Xiaomei's eyes rolled and she said this.
"Okay, wait for the master to come back and say hello to him for me. Jiawen also thinks that this solution is very feasible.
"Got it, go slowly, don't send it. Xiaomei's tone was short, as if she wanted to drive people away.
Touching his nose, Jiawen thought to himself that my charm was not so bad, and I couldn't even get a little Lori.
With a depressed face, after Lucy and Xiaomei had also said goodbye, the two walked out of the guild gate again.
......
"Hehe, I'm finally relieved when the old man isn't there. Seeing Jiawen and the two leave, Xiaomei muttered to herself.
Suddenly, there was a wave of magic power in the air, and I saw that Xiaomei's Kimera's body was all lit up, starting from the lion head on her left, and the earthy yellow color instantly spread all over her body, turning into a completely different Kimera made of citrine.
Xiaomei's body was filled with strong earth element fluctuations, and then she took a few steps forward and jumped off the table.
A miraculous moment happened, the moment it touched the ground, the marble floor, like the silt in the river, and her entire body slowly sank into it until it disappeared completely.
Of course, Gavin didn't know anything about what had happened here since he left.
......
"It's fun in the city of Gavongo. Lucy's mouth was full of snacks and she said indistinctly.
Jiawen smiled silently, and also felt that today's harvest was quite fruitful, and the two of them purchased some vegetables, fruits and meat on the side of the road, and went back and forth to prepare today's dinner.
Although they were away from home, the two of them didn't want to eat and sleep in the open, because Jiawen's cooking skills didn't look down on these otherworldly food flavors at all, and Lucy's mouth was nourished by Jiawen, so she naturally refused to be frugal from luxury.
In this world, perhaps the time when people are not too far away from nomadic life, so there has been little change in eating habits.
The cooking of people from other worlds is basically all kinds of grilling, and the slightly more normal one is grilled steak and lamb chops, and when it comes to those non-mainstream, it is miserable in Jiawen's opinion.
Have you ever seen baked crystal rice, a kind of grain similar to earth's breadfruit in the other world? The crystal rice is milky white before it is ripe, and when it is ripe, the whole body is crystal clear, like crystal, hence the name.
Ripe crystal rice tastes sweet, about the same size as a melon, and has a strong natural rice flavor, but it is this kind of high-quality ingredient that has been made into black briquettes by the indigenous people of other worlds.
Although the rice is delicious, it takes a long time to bake it because it is not small, and some people use it to boil it in water, but the fly in the ointment of this kind of thing is that it dissolves in water and can only be turned into a pot of paste in the end.
Some people also say that since it is too big, why don't we cut it down and bake it. Well, the person who made this suggestion afterwards, his lunch that day was a small black briquette.
The world doesn't seem to have learned how to use the oils and fats in plants and animals that are the right fluids to conduct heat in cooking.
But here in Jiawen, it's different, don't you know how to steam without oil? As long as you control your water intake, you can steam crystal rice into a staple food similar to steamed buns.
Also, although vegetable oil is more troublesome to extract, animal oil can be obtained everywhere, as long as you cut a few pieces of fat and slide it in the pot, you can get fragrant oil.
Because the moderate high temperature can stimulate the umami aroma of the food itself, the taste of the dishes made by the three of them has risen by more than a notch, and they will never go out to eat after learning this technique.
Jiawen and Lucy returned with a full load, and returned to the tavern where Lan Huo was before, with all kinds of ingredients.
......
"What, Mom, she's gone?" Lucy began.
Jiawen and the two of them had already entered the store at this time, and Lan Huo was also sitting on the swivel chair in the hall, and when he came up to ask, he was told that Aunt Nai had left after they had left in the morning.
"Why, we left again after just a few days together, and it would be good for our family to sit down and have a meal together before leaving. Lucy's eyes were red, and at this age the little girl was still very dependent on her mother.
"Aunt Nai must really have something very important, let's just wait for her here, don't worry. Garvin touched Lucy's head and whispered comfortingly.
"Aunt Huo, we're a little tired after a day's journey, can you find us a place to rest. Jiawen asked politely.
"After going upstairs, turn left on the second floor and turn the fourth room, and I have asked Aunt Li to clean it up for you. Looking at them and smiling, Lan Huo combed his short hair with his hand on the side of his face, and slid it down his cheek, holding his cheeks in his hand.
"Thanks, then let's go up first. Jiawen thanked him with a smile, and then took Lucy's little hand and went upstairs.
Seeing the two leave, Lan Huo turned her head and rubbed the wine glass with her slender fingers, her eyes blank, unable to see what she was thinking.
......
Entering the room and looking up and down, Jiawen found that this was a suite, with two rooms, all kinds of wardrobes and beds in the room, and a separate bathroom that could take a bath. There were water stains on the floor, and it was obvious that someone had cleaned it.
The two of them divided the room, with Lucy living in the back room and Gavin's room in the outhouse near the door. At this time, Lucy's mood gradually calmed down, and she returned to the room and fell asleep, seeing that she was really tired and physically and mentally exhausted.
Jiawen returned to his room, looked at the goods purchased, and planned today's dinner.
After a while, Jiawen walked down from the upstairs with a large bag of ingredients, because there was no kitchenware in the room, and if he wanted to cook, he had to see where Aunt Huo's kitchen was.
