Chapter 415: Kitchen

Falos and Kelsey really lack the ability to read words and colors. After Su Wen clearly reminded him word by word, the two of them reacted and temporarily restrained the spirit of academic discussion.

The dining table at home is a rectangular solid wood table for six people. Because the furniture in the house was all sent by Baron Schildon, of course, the quality would not be much worse.

Although it is rated at six people, it is no problem to double the number of people if you squeeze it, not to mention that none of these people have a wide area of fat people.

All three of them were quick hands and feet, and it only took a few minutes to set up the dishes.

During the Winterning Festival, there is a tradition in the Maleno Empire, which is to put a winter lamp on the table, which is regarded as a prayer for peace and security in the coming year.

Because the area of the table was really limited, Su Wen simply hung the lamp on the ceiling.

"It smells so good!"

It was Pharos who spoke.

Cooking, probably a behavior unique to humans, even intelligent monsters, only learned about cooking after coming into contact with human society. For human beings, eating is the top priority, so it is only natural to put thought into it to make food more palatable.

Pharos, who took on a human form, also came into contact with human food and became interested in it.

"Do you think it smells good, and how did you eat or replenish your energy before?"

"All you need is magic, and occasionally you get some minerals. ”

"Minerals, how do you replenish them?"

"It's just eating dirt. ”

"I see......"

"Ahem, ahem!" Su Wen coughed a few times.

"Your cooking technique is very interesting, and when you smell the smell, you can actually make you want to eat. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" Su Wen coughed vigorously again.

Seeing that Su Wen kept coughing, Linda looked over with some concern, Su Wen hurriedly turned his head and smiled, waved his hand, and signaled that there was nothing wrong with him.

"Is it fragrant?" Ellie said with two pots of vegetable salad in her hand, smug as she said, "This is the result of my practice with Barot at the cooking club!

"It's just a simple mixture of spices, and I haven't eaten it in my mouth, so I can't make a conclusion. Kelsey said.

Sometimes when you pass by a restaurant or shop, smell the fragrance and go in, you find that the food is not as good as you expected, and the same is true.

"Hey, you'll know then!" Ellie put down the salad, full of confidence.

Su Wen followed Ellie back to the kitchen, and in the kitchen, these children were busy in full swing.

Linda had already completed part of the preparation of the materials in the morning, but due to the increase in the number of people, they still needed to prepare some more ingredients.

At this point, the preparation of the ingredients has come to an end, and at the stove, Balotte is holding the tong, controlling the heat of the steak. Steak is something that needs to be fried and then grilled to lock in the gravy and make it more delicious.

Of course, this is what Barot learned from Betty.

For eleven steaks, Barot must pay full attention, remember exactly how long each side of each steak will fry, and then quickly turn it over with a tong and continue frying on another side.

It's like whack-a-mole, but it's much harder than whack-a-mole.

Lawson stirred the chicken cream soup in the cauldron, because it added a fresh mushroom unique to the western mountains, so it was necessary to keep the soup stirring during the boiling process, otherwise, the soup would clump.

The chicken in the soup, ten minutes ago, was still piece by piece chicken breast. Ordinary people have to deal with it for a long time to make this chicken into a delicate minced meat, but Lawson is different.

After all, he is a gold-level warrior, and his wrist strength, physical strength, and knife skills are not comparable to ordinary people. What's more, in order to pursue efficiency, Rosen also used vindictiveness.

Under the force that can almost chop open the cutting board, no matter how strong the chicken fibers are, they can't escape the fate of crushing.

Lawson doesn't know how to cook, and all the seasonings for the soup are all done by Balot.

As an adult, who also can't cook, there's also Mia. After all, it's a professional need to be a singer, and oil smoke will make the skin worse, so Mia is trying to stay away from the kitchen as much as possible.

When people listen to the singing, of course, they will also pay attention to the appearance of the singer, if the singer's appearance is not so pleasing to the eye, the effect of the song will also be greatly reduced.

After all, the world does not have the technology and equipment to record music, and the aesthetic concept that has been inherited has also tied the two things of "appearance" and "singing" together.

Because of this kind of bondage, many singers with first-class voices and excellent skills generally do not have a satisfactory career.

However, although she doesn't know how to cook, under the influence of her ears and eyes, Mia's level of making drinks has almost reached the level of her profession. Because of the relationship between "the youngest daughter of bar owner Wood", many bartenders, in order to please Wood, also taught Mia their secret recipes.

Anyway, Mia is not interested in being a bartender, and they will not encounter the dilemma of "the apprentice of the church starves to death the master", not to mention, Wood's personality is still reliable, and he will not kick them away after getting their secret recipe.

"Sister Mia is amazing!"

Roland, Shirley, and Kyle, the three of them have become obsessed with Mia's fancy bartending skills.

Baron Shelton was simply thoughtful, and the kitchen was fully equipped with utensils, including, of course, a full set of bartending equipment.

"Rainbow. Barrot slowly poured the drink from the concoction cup into a small cup and said the name of the drink.

The drink went from purple at first, slowly to blue, then layer by layer, and finally red, evenly distributed in a transparent glass, looking like a rainbow from a distance.

"Shirley, will you drink this?"

"Okay, okay!" Shirley nodded repeatedly, as if she had temporarily let go of the heartache of bankruptcy.

Although they didn't speak, Roland and Kyle were already staring at Mia with expectant eyes.

"Do you want the same, or do you want to try something else?" asked the two of them as she washed her utensils.

"It's all right!"

At some point, Pharos also came to the kitchen door and stood next to Su Wen. Seeing this, Pharos asked in a low voice, "Is there any point in making food like this?"

"Yes. Su Wen replied with a smile: "Everything has some kind of value for human beings. For example, food has a value for eating, and clothing has a value for wearing. ”

"And something may have more than one value. This drink, in addition to the value of drinking, also has an appreciation value, whether it is the bartender's actions or the form of the final drink, it has the value of appreciation. ”

Aesthetics is something that human beings only realized after they have evolved to a certain extent. Its prototype is "judging people by their appearance".

Originally, all living things were designed to survive and reproduce, but with the accumulation of experience, creatures gradually discovered that certain characteristics can identify whether a certain object is harmful or beneficial, whether the mating partner is strong and reliable, and so on.

This characteristic becomes a kind of identification mark.

When human beings are enlightened, this kind of inherited logo has become an "aesthetic".

Not only humans, but also some intelligent monsters also have the same aesthetic.

For example, Josephine, the bloodbreed proprietress of College Town. She is an existence that can despise all current human painters.

Pharos, the Lord of Shadows, is in a state of ignorance that is about to awaken to the concept of aesthetics.

"Roland Kyle, come over here and get this thing in the oven!" Barlott turned to call out to the two paddlers.

Roland answered Kyle's words and hurriedly walked over and picked up the plate that Barrot had handed over. On the plate is a steak that has been fried and discolored on each side, and a bunch of spices are placed on the steak, which only needs to be put in the oven and grilled at high temperature for ten minutes.

Although they can't cook, they are happy to help.

After making this portion, Barot moved on to preparing the next dish.

"Ellie!!Where's the people!!" Barrot glanced back hastily, but didn't see Ellie's shadow.

"What are you doing!" Ellie stood up from behind the table, two mouthfuls of garlic in her hands.

Ballot turned her head again, glanced at Ellie, who was full of lightheartedness, and yelled, "Don't peel the garlic!

"What are you doing?" Ellie asked, "Aren't you using the stove?"

"Can you go mix the steak sauce!!"

"I won't!"

"Then you go and fry the chicken wings!!"

"I don't understand!"

"Boiled asparagus?"

"Where's the asparagus?"

"Wow, what the hell are you here for!! what have you studied at the cooking club!!!" Barrot said frantically.

"I didn't learn anything, it seems like ......" Ellie thought about it carefully, when she was in the academy's cooking club, she was just a taster and a dunzi, and she really didn't learn a few specific dishes: "I can cut vegetables, is there anything to cut?"

"Nope. Barrot sighed, completely giving up on Ellie's help.

"Then I'll peel the garlic. Ellie crouched down and continued to peel the garlic.

If Ellie uses her own blades and skills, this bag of garlic can be peeled out in less than a minute, but at this time, Ellie is peeling one by one with her hands, in addition to hiding her physique, Ellie seems to enjoy the time of peeling garlic.

A few years ago, when Linda was still in the village, Linda was cooking, and Ellie would peel garlic or make other preparations. Peeling garlic reminds Ellie of the past.

It's only been a long time, and the trajectory of life is completely different......

"I'll help you. Su Wen walked into the kitchen and said to Barot: "I'll also cook two dishes, my hometown dishes." ”

"Wow, that's great!!" said Ballot.

"Mapo Tofu!!" Ellie stood up again.

"Well, I'll go feed the wolf first!" Rosen saw that Su Wen was coming, so he raised his hand and applied to feed the wolf.

"Then I'll help you make the soup. Su Wen said.

"Thank you, Mr. Suwen......"

Hearing this title, Shirley asked strangely, "Brother, why are you called Mr. Su Wen?"

Roland next to him also nodded in agreement.

In fact, the relationship between Lawson and Su Wen is not as familiar as Su Wen and others, and according to the social habits of adults, there is no problem in calling Mr. Su Wen. But listening to the ears of teenagers and girls, it is a little strange.

"Uh......" Lawson choked, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"It's okay, I don't mind calling Brother Su Wen. Su Wen smiled: "Anyway, I'm older than you." ”

It is indeed bigger than Rosen, and it is hundreds or thousands of years old......

"Ellie, you're here to stir up the soup!!," Ballot shouted again.

"Ah, I'm going to peel garlic ......"

"You have to peel a few catties of garlic!!, it doesn't take so much!!"

Rosen picked his head, finally called out Brother Su Wen, and then lifted the feed bag and fed the wolf. Along the way, the four snow wolves were fed a mixture of meat and starch, and when they finally rested, Lawson decided to treat them by feeding them some meat and bones.

"Then I'll cut the onions......"

"Ai! Li!"

"Ahhhh

When Ellie stood up and clapped her hands, and was about to go to the pot, she found that a young man dressed in dark clothes had already stood in front of the pot.

"I'll do it. Pharos turned his head and stirred the spoon in his hand as he spoke.

"Trouble. Su Wen smiled at Pharos, then went to wash his hands and stood next to Barot: "What's the material...... Oh, that's okay, I'll just watch and do it. ”

In fact, it doesn't matter what ingredients there are, as long as there are ingredients, then what materials Su Wen wants to make, he can make them.

"Mapo Tofu!!"

"Then you go and prepare first, I will replace the stove with you when the sauce is cooked, and I will prepare it when you cook, and take turns to save time. Barot poured various ingredients into the pot and said to Su Wen without turning his head.

No matter who you are, once you get serious, your attention to the outside world will be much slower. In other words, Barot was cooking at this time.

Su Wen rarely saw Barot so engrossed, and the few times he saw it were all when Barot was facing a battle.

"Mapo Tofu!!"

Su Wen walked to the side of the board and glanced at the current materials, there were meat fillings, whole chickens, pork ribs, vegetable miscellaneous, and there were many.

After rolling up his sleeves, Su Wen picked up the ingredients and began to synthesize what he needed.

"Mapo Tofu!!"

Ellie's cry was directly ignored. After shouting a few more words, seeing that there was still no response, Ellie sighed, pursed her lips, and buried herself in peeling garlic.

"Ellie, what do you want to drink?"

"Mapo Tofu!" Ellie blurted out, and in Mia's strange eyes, she quickly changed her words: "Whatever!

"Oh, good. ”

Ellie sighed again, and suddenly, she tilted her head to the kitchen door.

There, Kelsey stood a little timidly outside the door frame, looking inside the kitchen. She doesn't have any books in her hands that she almost never leaves them.

"Kelsey, why don't you come in and have a look?" asked Ellie.

Enter...... Come into the kitchen?

Kelsey was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, and fled back to the living room, leaving the inexplicable Ellie on the spot, and even stopped peeling garlic in her hand.
