Chapter 17: The Assassins
"Lord Duke, the condiments are ready. ”
Green nodded and said, "Put all those condiments into the pot as I told you, and then call me when the water boils, by the way, put in the Sivir red pepper too." ”
Immediately, Green took out the shrimp and crabs in the basin one by one to check if they were clean, and if they were not, he would use a cleaning magic.
The convenience of the wizard profession is once again reflected, if ordinary people clean up shrimp and crabs, they need to use a brush to clean up the shrimp and crabs, and the use of brushes requires a good grasp of strength.
If it is heavy, it will hurt the shrimp and crabs, and if it is light, it will not be cleaned.
But with cleansing magic, there is no such concern at all.
However, the cleaning magic can only clean the dirt on the surface of the shrimp and crab, and as for the dirt in the shrimp and crab's body, it still needs to be cleaned manually, such as removing the shrimp head, removing the shrimp line, and so on.
"Sally, pour the oil. ”
Green's approach to shrimp and crabs is to stir-fry them with oil, a certain animal oil, not like pigs and cows, but like some kind of sea creature, a kind of fish oil.
The Duke's castle is close to the sea, and the surrounding area is not well developed for animal husbandry, in addition to planting, many residents also have a way of livelihood to go to the sea to fish, so fish oil is relatively common.
After stir-frying the shrimp and crabs, Green then put them into the pot of condiments.
The water has been boiled, and the water in the pot has taken on a bright red color, which is the effect of Sivir red peppers, and the aroma gushes out, and the spicy blends together, just by seeing it, it makes people have an appetite.
The little maid had a look of expectation on her face.
"Lord Duke, how long does it take to cook?"
"About an hour. Green paused and said, "By the way, Sally, how do you know the four fantastic plants in the plantation now?"
"It's basically all mastered. ”
"Let's see. ”
Sally straightened her small breasts and said, "The suitable growing season for Wiki tomatoes is summer, which lasts for four months, and an average Wiki tomato can produce more than 100 fruits. ”
"The growth cycle of white grapes is two years, and it takes two years to bear fruit, the first year can produce about 30 bunches of grapes, and then increase year by year. ”
"During the two-month growth period, Sivir red peppers can adjust their spiciness according to the different eaters, which is generally the maximum spiciness that the eater can bear. ”
Speaking of this, Sally suddenly paused and asked, "Lord Duke, I have a question. ”
"What's the doubt?"
"Sivir red peppers can adjust their spiciness according to the different eaters, and affect other ingredients, so in this way, don't all dishes need to put a little bit of Sivir red peppers?"
"Why did the Duke put two Sivir red peppers in the pot?"
Green smiled and said, "There is no doubt that the Sivir red pepper can adjust the spiciness and affect other ingredients, but the scope of influence of the Sivir red pepper is limited. ”
"Take the dish we are going to make this time, one Sivir red pepper can only affect almost half of the ingredients in the pot, and two can affect the whole pot. ”
Sally thought for a moment and asked, "Lord Duke, can I put more Shivir red peppers?"
"Yes, you can put three, four, or even more, but the spiciness of this dish will not change, just two is enough, there is no need to put more, the price of Sivir red peppers is not cheap. ”
"I see, thank you, Lord Duke. ”
Green nodded and said, "Okay, it's almost time, it's time to eat." ”
With that, Green opened the lid.
In an instant, a fragrance wafted out, the aroma of condiments, the spiciness of Sivir red pepper, and the umami of shrimp and crab, these flavors collided perfectly.
"Sally, turn down the heat a little bit. ”
"Yes, Lord Duke. ”
Green took two crabs out of the pot, one in front of him and one on top of Sally's plate.
"Sally, try the taste. ”
After finishing speaking, Green took the first step to move his own hands, took off a crab claw, and gently peeled it off, the temperature was a bit high, but Green used his magic to block it, so there was no problem to get started directly.
Green put a piece of crab meat in his mouth.
Fresh, tender, fragrant, and spicy, the four flavors exploded in Green's mouth at the same time, and a satisfied smile appeared on Green's face.
Green had eaten a lot of similar practices before, some home-cooked and some outside, but this time, Green felt that it was the best he had ever eaten, which was the lead in ingredients.
Both shrimp and crab are natural and wild, the growth year is sufficient, the meat quality is naturally good, and the effect of Sivir red pepper is just spicy to the good, and the taste is excellent.
"It's delicious!" the little maid's spicy little face flushed, but she couldn't stop, this was by far the best thing the little maid had ever eaten, even if it was the last meal given by the traffickers, it was not as good as this.
After eating a crab and a shrimp, Green felt a little full, the shrimp and crabs were very large and plump.
After hesitating for a moment, Green said, "Sally, send a little to the three of them." ”
"Yes, Lord Duke. ”
Green took a piece of bread and a glass of honey water and left the kitchen, went to the backyard, sat down nearby, ate a mouthful of white bread, then looked at the honey water, and recited a spell.
A small piece of ice appeared in the honey water.
Cool!
After eating the spicy shrimp and crab, a glass of chilled honey water is undoubtedly a very good experience, which makes Green feel that he has returned to that familiar world in an instant.
But it was just an illusion after all, and Green felt that the world was not bad.
More than a dozen black-clad figures quietly approached the Duke's Castle.
In the hut next to him, two middle-aged people's faces changed and hurriedly approached.
The next moment, a big war broke out.
However, it soon turned into a one-sided torture, and the strength of the man in black and the middle-aged man was huge, even if he had an absolute advantage in numbers, he was not the opponent of the middle-aged man.
Seeing the men in black fall one by one, the leader in black was distressed, and at the same time scolded Bill in his heart: "This damn it, I leaked such a big piece of information and didn't say it." ”
I knew that there were these two middle-aged people, no matter how high Bill's bid was, the leader in black would not accept this commission, but now it is too late to say this.
And for Bill, his purpose has been achieved.
The two middle-aged men were attracted by the people in black and had no time to care about anything else, while Bill took the opportunity to climb over the wall and enter the Duke's Castle, just in time to see Green resting in the backyard with his eyes slightly closed.
Without hesitation, Bill rushed forward as soon as possible, the dagger in his hand was facing Green's heart, Bill stepped forward with a must-kill mentality, as long as the dagger hit, Green had absolutely no chance of survival.
"Assassin!"
