Chapter 104: Memory
On the second day of training, Zolenna arrived early in the morning. The fright I received yesterday www.biquge.info has eased now, and the whole person is much more energetic.
"Well, for the sake of you meeting my request yesterday, I will reluctantly cooperate with your teaching. The girl said.
It is estimated that 90% of this is the bitter meat of the egret. Lulu looked at the egret from behind with admiration, and since the garden trial selection training, the egret's methods have become more profound. Originally, even if he wanted to do something, he would show off proudly first. Now he has quietly put people into urns.
Unlike the pretended cooperation on the first day, Zolenna really began to study seriously. Egret could see that as the duke's youngest daughter, she had been exposed to a lot of etiquette knowledge herself. What is not enough is only to show it as formal.
Egret taught him very easily, and only needed to help him adjust the details of the code of conduct from time to time, which was enough for Zolena to show a near-perfect etiquette posture. Even Lulu looked at it and nodded on the side.
The taught course lasted more than two hours. The egret touched the time and made Zollena stop the practice of sitting position.
"It's almost time to eat. Take a break. The egret patted Zolena's little head and said with a smile.
Zuo Lenna relaxed her stiff shoulders and waist, exhaled, her eyes trembled slightly, and said silently: "That, is your injury better?"
"You say this?" Egret raised his arm, "It's almost healed, it's just a skin injury, and there are high-level doctors in the station." Through the healing of life magic, there is no big problem. ”
Although Zuo Lenna loves to make trouble, her heart is not bad. Overall, a kind girl. Although the behavior is out of the ordinary, I don't want to hurt others because of my own reasons.
It was precisely because of this that the egret decided to use a bitter trick to get Zolenna to cooperate. However, just cooperation does not necessarily lead to good results. Seeing that she is fine, Zuo Lunna will slowly relax her heart, and then her behavior will return to her original appearance. Now almost two days have passed, and in the next five days, the perfect etiquette will be taught to the end, and it will become a habit and instinct in Zolena. There is simply not enough time. If Zuolenna continues to be uncooperative, I am afraid that the situation will be even more dangerous.
So if you want to continue this state, you can't just use Zollena's guilt to maintain it.
The egret turned and walked to the kitchen in the villa, and the cooking of lunch began with a clang.
This surprised Zollena, and she followed to the side of the egret, her eyes full of curiosity: "You can also cook?"
"It's a hobby in my spare time. ”
The white egret's hands are very fast, and he has practiced all kinds of cooking skills to the highest level, and the ingredients under his hands are processed by him extremely quickly, and in Zolenna's eyes, it seems to be magic.
Soon, Egret made a long row of cold pastries, which were sorbets made from a local filling, and the taste was very unique, and the appearance was also chosen in the form of a cute little hairy beast from the Ice Moon Empire.
Zolenna's eyes widened, not that she was impressed by the skill of the egret, but that such sorbet had a very special meaning in her memory.
That's when my mother was still alive, and she would often make desserts for her. This silicon, silent and clear ice cream is like a switch in memory, turning on Zolenna's memories.
"You know? Nana, this sorbet is called Sweetheart Dumplings. ”
"Sweetheart dumplings?Mom, this is clearly a little hairy beast~~"
"Nana is so clever, the little hairy beast has a filling made of halva in its belly, you can taste it. ”
"Whew, it's delicious!Mom!You can eat one too~"
"Well, Nana is so good. ”
.........
"Nana, why are you crying again today?"
"Premia broke my favorite cup. Mom, I'm so sad. ”
"Good boy, Premia didn't mean it, you have to learn to forgive. That's good, mom compensates you for making good food, what do you want to eat?"
"Sweetheart dumplings!"
.............
Before she knew it, Zolenna's eyes were filled with tears. Before she died, her mother's favorite thing to make for her was the sweetheart dumplings that Egret is now serving. This deep memory almost filled her mind.
"What's wrong, don't you want to try it?" asked the egret knowingly.
Zolena reached out and picked one up, took a bite gently, and a sweet smell of memories rushed into her mind. This is almost the same as my mother's craftsmanship, and it is not as delicious as the masters of the Duke's Palace, and the appearance is not very perfect. But this taste does remember the taste of mother!
"Sweetheart dumplings. Zollena muttered. Then he found that his tears had flowed uncontrollably, so he wiped his eyes fiercely. She woke up to the fact that her mother had died. The dango in front of him is the craft of a knight from the Ambra Empire.
"Why do you know this?" asked Zolena, a little inexplicably.
The egret shrugged his shoulders, "This is a unique pastry of the Ice Moon Empire, and I took the time to learn it in the past two days. Hawkers, theoretically, little girls will like to eat. You just think I'm currying favor with you. ”
"Guy with untruthful words. Zollena rolled her eyes. It is not difficult to make the sweet gnocchi, but the filling is made by each chef himself, and it is impossible for two chefs to make the same taste of the sweet gnocchi! And the sweet gnocchi made by the egret is infinitely close to the taste made by his mother, and it is impossible to do this without the technique practiced after special research.
Zollena is young, but she is not a fool.
When I ate the sweet dumplings made by the egret, I immediately knew how much effort the egret put into making the flavor of the filling. Even if it's just to flatter, it's enough to prove how much Egret secretly cares about her.
This is indeed no coincidence.
In order to simulate Zollena's mother's craft, the egret practiced in the kitchen of the station for an entire night. Since the records in the information are not comprehensive, he also woke up the old housekeeper of Zuolenna's house late at night and tried the sweetheart dumplings himself in order to adjust the taste of the filling. To be able to do this, the time and energy spent can be imagined.
"Is the Garden Trial so heavy for you?" Zolena seemed to think of something, and asked at the egret.
"Everybody has something in their hearts. The egret replied, "It's like a sweetheart dumpling." I think the stuffing that your mother put in it, holding on to her love for you. And what I put in the sweetheart ball is the belief of being a knight. ”
"Zolena, you're not really one of you who likes to cause trouble for others. Egret said slowly. "It's only since your mother died that you've been converted. That's just loneliness, isn't it?"
"Nonsense!" Zolenna started a fire and shook off the uneaten sweetheart dumplings in her hand. "You're less self-conscious, what do you know about me?!"
Egret shook his head, "I really don't know. ”
"I grew up in a privileged environment, my parents were very healthy, and my family watched over me like the sun. Whatever I ask, my family will do their best to make it happen. Always treat me like a treasure. "To insist on how I empathize with you would be a hypocritical deception. ”
"I'm not qualified to say I understand your feelings. All I can do is remind you of the little bits and pieces of happiness you had when your mother was there. Remind you of what matters most to you!"
"I don't have the most important thing anymore!" Zolena cried hysterically, "You're just for your trials! You're just trying to please me and cooperate with you! You just want me to help you win in the etiquette contest! It's all your selfishness!"
"If it's selfish. Why do I have to do such a complicated job, and use your compassion and guilt for my injuries to make you cooperate to the end?" said the egret, his tone low and gradually flowing into Zolena's heart. "Besides, your most important thing is always there. ”
With that, the egret pulled Zollena to a floor-to-ceiling mirror in the hall.
"Just as you still feel for your sweetheart, Zollena, you never lost your mother. ”
The egret was talking about Zollena's appearance. Zolenna's beauty is inherited from her mother. If her mother were still alive and standing with Zollena, she would be like a sister.
Zolena, who had never really looked in the mirror in detail, and had never seriously looked for this, stood in front of the mirror and was stunned.
The egret silently took a few steps back and said nothing.
Knowing about Zollena's situation, the egret roughly knew what the child's behavior was for. She had lost her mother, and her father, who was a duke, and because of her busy schedule, she rarely had the opportunity to be with Zolena, and only the butler and servants would always be with her.
In order to get attention, especially from the father. She began all sorts of wayward behaviors, either messing around or causing trouble. Only then will his father have to come to deal with it. This is the only way a child can think of to see his father, to be able to see his only loved one after losing his mother!
With this behavior became a habit. Naturally, Zolenna's reputation for breaking away from willfulness spread. became the most disobedient child in the Duke's Palace. Zuo Lenna's intelligence and precociousness have instead become her own troublesome and willful capital, while causing more trouble for her father to finish, and on the other hand, she has intensified her plans for bigger mischief.
To change this, the egret has to find the crux of the problem.
And the crux of this is Zollena's mother.
