Chapter 32: A Different Kind of Mutton
"No, I'm going to make a big dish for you today. Thetis said to Amphitrite with a proud face.
Hearing this, Amphitrita's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help but recall the fear of being ruled by Thetis many years ago, and she couldn't care about eating for a while.
Amphitrite reached out and pulled Bentehikimo up, "Daughter, let's go back first, your father must miss you after coming out for so long." ”
"Oops!" Titise knocked on the table angrily, "Is my cooking as terrible as you think?"
"Probably, more terrible than I thought. Amphitrite looked at Thetis with a frightened expression, eager to flee the terrible house at once.
"I swear, you'll be full of praise this time. Thetis pressed Aphitrita's shoulders and promised her.
Since Thetis had said so, Amphitrite had no choice but to sit down again. She glanced at the boiling water in the crockpot again, and asked with some uncertainty, "Is this the water you guarantee to rely on?"
As she spoke, Amphitrite picked up the spoon and tried to taste it, but Thetis hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her, "Sister, this is just an ordinary pot of boiling water." ”
Ordinary boiling water, so where does your confidence come from? Amphitrite looked at Thetis with a puzzled expression.
"Sister, can you do me a favor?" Titis smiled mysteriously at her, following Su Muran's pretended to be unfathomable just now.
"Oh, little sister, let's hear it. Hearing Thetis say that she had something to ask for herself, Amphitrite immediately came to her senses, and reached out to support her chin in the form of a female rascal.
But Thetis ignored her, "Help me continue to boil this pot of water, but don't boil it dry, just keep it boiling." ”
"No problem. Seeing that there was only such a small request, Amphitrite agreed casually, then turned to Benteschikimo and said, "Daughter, show your aunt a hand." ”
Bentehikimo smiled and held out a right index finger. Before she could do anything, a faint blue flame burst from above her index finger, almost like magic.
That is, Su Muran is still in the kitchen, if he sees this scene, he will have to shout again.
But there's still more to come. With a shake of Benthekimo's little hand, the blue flame flew into the pot with unmistakable accuracy, and the boiling water, which had already calmed down, bubbled again.
The flame floated in the center of the water, burning silently.
Looking at this scene, Thetis couldn't help but admire, "Sister, your daughter is really amazing, she is only a few years old and actually has this strength, much stronger than us at the beginning." ”
"Needless to say, this is my daughter. Amphitrite said proudly.
She emphasized that it was her daughter and not Poseidon's daughter, because Poseidon had too many daughters, but there were only two daughters born to her, the eldest daughter Lot, and the younger daughter Benthehikimo.
"Daughter, show your aunt what you are capable of. Probably in a dazzle-like mentality, Amphitrice said to Benthechikimo again.
And for Amphitrite, only by fully demonstrating Bentehikimo's abilities would Thetis be impressed by her, and her idea would be easier to realize.
Listening to Amphitrite's words, Bentechikimo pointed to the flame.
The blue flame seemed to be wrapped in something, forming a sphere, and then slowly sinking into the boiling water.
However, even when it was completely submerged in the water, it still burned tenaciously and firmly, without the slightest intention of being extinguished by the water.
"Good. Thetis raised an eyebrow in praise. Compared with the previous compliments, this time it seems to be much more concise.
Amphitrite, however, smiled happily.
She knew very well that Thetis was a very proud person, and that polite compliments were her real compliments.
Since Thetis said it was very good, it was really good, and she had always had a lot of confidence in her daughter.
"Bentehikimo's talent is really good, not inferior to her eldest sister at all. Amphitrite boasted.
She does have the capital to show off, and among all the goddesses of the sea and the nymphs of Mizusawa, in terms of the talent of the fourth generation of the goddess, her two daughters are the most outstanding. Of course, it is also because she married a good husband and has a noble bloodline.
"Okay sister, are you bullying me for not having a daughter?" Thetis saw that Benteshikimo really liked it more and more, and when she was regretting that she didn't give birth to a daughter, she heard Amphitrite keep showing off, and couldn't help but say angrily.
Even if you give birth to a daughter, you won't be able to compare to mine. Amphitrite was secretly happy in her heart, after all, her brother-in-law only had a trace of marine blood, and her husband was a serious sea emperor.
But how can you continue to stimulate Thetis at this time? Amphitrite quickly changed the subject, "Oh, I helped you if you asked me to help, what about lunch?"
Finally back to the point, Thetis looked at the boiling water and clapped her palms, "Achilles, bring the meat." ”
Su Muran, who had been waiting for Thetis to summon in the kitchen, hurriedly walked out with a large plate of mutton slices, but the moment she saw him, Amphitrite laughed directly, and even Bentehikimo, who had always been very quiet, couldn't help but cover her mouth and lower her head.
"Achilles, what's wrong with you? Amphitrite reached out and took the plate in Su Muran's hand, and then held him in her arms with a look of concern, but the body that had been trembling betrayed her.
In fact, I don't blame her, Su Muran's current image is too funny. The blond hair was messy like a chicken nest, the neat clothes on his body had become loose, and there were several black marks on his white face, plus a blue nose and swollen face, which made him look like a little tramp who had lost a fight.
"I... I'm fine, I just fell in the kitchen. Originally, Su Muran wanted to pour some bitter water on Amphitrite, but the "vicious" gaze of Thetis next to him reminded him not to do anything.
After all, no matter how strong Amphitrite is, he is only a guest, maybe he will leave in two days, and it may be difficult for Thetis to manage him for a lifetime, but it is no problem to manage him for more than ten years, if he offends Thetis at this time, he will suffer in two days.
The reason why he became like this is actually very simple, just now in the kitchen, Su Muran originally wanted to hang Tetis's appetite, but he was beaten up by Tetis, who was in a hurry.
Looking back now, the scene was simply a landslide, the sun and the moon were gone, and the snow was flying in June. Su Muran felt that his young heart had been greatly hurt.
"Did your mother beat you?" After a while, Amphitrite finally laughed enough, and asked Su Muran again.
"No, Aunt Anfei, I really fell on my own. Su Muran hurriedly replied. Titis also followed, "Sister, do you think I look like someone who can beat a child?"
Amphitrite rolled her eyes, and was about to say what was on her mind, when Thetis knew what she wanted to do, and hurriedly interrupted her.
"Sister, don't you want to show me my craft? I'm going to let you know what the best lamb in the world is. Thetis said with a proud face, this is not her blowing, she has just tasted the taste, it is a must.
"Oh, don't poison me, I'll thank the goddess Gaia. Amphitrite clearly still didn't believe Thetis much.
"You'll know if I'm lying to you after you've eaten it. Titis waved her hand domineeringly, "Get out of the pot!"
Su Muran, who was still being held in Amphitrite's arms, hurriedly got out like a dog, picked up a pair of chopsticks and cut off a third of the mutton slices on the plate.
"Thetis, what is this?" Amphitrite pointed to the chopsticks in Su Muran's hand and said curiously, she had never seen anything like this.
"This thing is called chopsticks, and it is a special tableware for eating today's dish, and I invented it. Thetis looked very understanding. In fact, she just heard what Su Muran said, and these chopsticks are still freshly made.
However, in order to change her image in Amphitrite's heart, she couldn't care much about it, so she just took credit for herself.
Do you still have the face to say, just this piece of mutton or did I come out with a knife and a blade!" Su Muran stared at Titis with a sad and angry face.
"What's the matter, Achilles, why do you look at your mother like this?" Thetis noticed Su Muran's expression, a huge smile appeared on her face, and a mouthful of white and neat teeth shone brightly.
However, in Su Muran's opinion, this tooth is much more terrifying than the teeth of the great white shark, so he quickly changed his face and stammered: "It's not a dish you cooked, it's so delicious, I drooled when I thought about it." ”
Thetis shook a glance at Su Muran, meaning that you know each other.
"Is it really delicious? What is this dish called?" Seeing Su Muran say this, Amphitrite also vaguely looked forward to it.
Thetis picked up a chopstick and waved it vigorously, "It's called shabu!"
As she spoke, the aroma of mutton was already heard in the soaring water vapor, and Thetisi sniffled, "It's ready to eat." ”
"So fast?" said Amphitrite in surprise, she thought it would take a long time to cook, and Bentehikimo looked at Thetis in amazement.
Titis, who was still full of confidence, was also a little weak when she was stared at by these two people, glanced at Su Muran, and found that he nodded slightly at himself before relieving himself, "Don't worry, you can really eat it." ”
Is the mutton shabu fast enough? I really like the way you guys have never seen the world. Su Muran snickered in his heart.
Titise picked up another chopstick, and found that she didn't know how to use it, so she quickly put it down in order to avoid being seen by Amphitrite.
"Achilles, your aunt doesn't know how to use chopsticks, so help her pick a piece and taste it." ”
Why do you want me to do this kind of thing? Forget it, those who can work harder, and those who can work harder.
Su Muran secretly comforted herself in her heart.
