Chapter 227: Moonlight in the Garden
Without the "help" of the two troublemakers, Chino made rapid progress, and the same delicious dishes were baked out of the pot and placed on the table.
The ingredients that can be bought in the twilight city are not much different from those in the previous life, but the cooking methods are different, and the finished products are naturally very different.
In this era, the main cooking method is roasting, which is the same for the folk or the aristocracy, all the ingredients are roasted on the fire, and the seasoning is sprinkled and roasted, and the taste is very simple.
Chino used all kinds of cooking techniques in his previous life, stir-frying, boiling, frying, cooking, frying... I made a table of dishes, including foie gras cooked in the French way, boneless pure meat roast goose, sea salt marinated and stir-fried beef cubes, fried seafood quiche made of live lobster, and a pot of hot black-bone chicken soup.
Although Lorna and Solandelle are from aristocratic backgrounds, they usually eat nutritious meals based on "health", low oil and low salt, and very light.
Especially Solandelle, who went to the folk to eat an ordinary roast pig's trotters, he could eat tears in his eyes, how could he ever see such a big meal?
The two of them are like starving ghosts who have not eaten for eight lifetimes at this time, and even Solandelle can no longer maintain her reserve, and she begins to gobble up, if she doesn't care that she is a guest, I'm afraid she will have to be caught directly with her hands.
Lorna, like a real dragon, frantically sent food to her mouth, chewed it twice casually and swallowed it, and then couldn't wait to pick up the next food and said vaguely: "Chino, the meat you made is so delicious!" If you don't want to be an administrator in the future, you can quit your job and become a chef in Cold Valley, and you can definitely conquer the stomachs of those dragon knights! β
Chino couldn't help but wonder: "Forget it, my salary is settled in silver month now, which is good." If you want to be a chef, won't you have to settle the bill only on a monthly basis? β
Lorna smirked, "What to say!" Your cooking skills are not too much for the golden moon settlement! I've really never eaten anything so delicious! β
Chino: "Don't you have a palace cook at home?" Their cooking skills aren't bad, right? β
Lorna sighed heavily: "Hey, don't mention it! The palace cooks couldn't stand the temperature of the cold valley and didn't want to come, so we usually ate either by flying out to eat, or by roasting the dragon's breath ourselves. β
"Last time my dad cooked a meal himself, yue~ You don't know how bad his skills are! I gave my family a bite of his cooking, and made me four dishes and one soup overnight. β
...
The three of them chatted while eating, talking and laughing, and after eating for almost two hours, Lorna and Solandelle both rounded their bellies, and the two of them collapsed in their seats motionless, muttering: "Eat... Still want to eat... But I can't eat it..."
"Okay, don't spoil your stomach, get here here today, and I'll make it for you when I have the chance." Chino stood up, "Let's go, go for a walk." β
The residence covers a large area and has a dedicated back garden, where the temperature has already warmed up during the "foggy rain" season, but the evening breeze is still cool, and the moon is hidden behind a light veil of clouds, giving off a soft glow.
The shadows of the trees weaved in the hazy moon, and the three of them walked in the garden, Chino and Lorna strolled on either side, and Solandelle jumped in the middle, as if they blended into the night.
The three of them came to a lawn, where Solandale sat on a chair, and Lorna lay down with a big grin, looking up at the starry sky.
Chino came to a tall tree, picked three round things with telekinesis, washed them in the pool, and walked over with them: "Come, eat some fruit after dinner." β
Solandale took it, stared at it and wowed, "Is this the apple tree I gave you from?" β
Chino: "Well, I haven't had time to taste the first fruit after planting. β
For people who fill their stomachs, the refreshing after-meal fruit is very attractive, Lorna couldn't wait to take a bite, but before she chewed twice, she suddenly stiffened, wrinkled her face and cried: "Okay~~bitter~~ah~~"
"Bitter?" Chino also took a bite, feeling the rich sweetness in his mouth, no different from the one he had eaten in Solandelle's room for the first time, and he said suspiciously, "It's sweet, how can it be bitter?" β
Solandelle took the apple and bit it, chewing it, and smiled embarrassedly: "It's still the original taste, it's really bitter... This apple variety is just that. β
"Because the doctor told me that good medicine is bitter and bitter things are good for health, I grow a lot of these apples, but everyone doesn't seem to like them..."
Lorna gave Solandale a lot of face and forced herself to finish the apple, but her face was so bitter that her whole face wrinkled: "It's so bitter... Chino, how would you say it's sweet? β
Solandale also tilted her head: "Yes, they were all picked from a tree, and your one should also be bitter." β
Chino chewed slowly, as if tasting a delicious dessert, and he shrugged: "I don't know why you think it's bitter, but to me, it's very sweet." β
"Uh... Maybe you don't have the same taste as we do..."Lorna only found this explanation.
This difference in perception of the sweetness and bitterness of apples also appeared in Wangcheng, when Chino and Sting ate Solandelle's apples together, and Sting also said that the bitterness was scary.
Chino thought it was Sting's own taste problem, but now that Solandale and Lorna are saying it's bitter, it's a bit weird.
Chino did have a congenital genetic defect and suffered from painlessness, but he did not have a taste disorder, and he didn't know why others tasted bitter...
He was sure it was sweet.
The three of them did not continue to dwell on the topic of apples, chatting while looking up at the starry sky, and the sea of stars was reflected in the pupils, like a dream.
The world is up and down, but in the face of the scale of the universe, the human world for a thousand years is just a flick of a finger, and the starry sky in front of you may be like this in the time of the Sun King, shining to the fullest.
Chino looked up at the night and asked, "Lorna, I have a question for you, how did you get into a conflict with Grabo during the day?" I don't feel like you're a mere personal vendetta, and you seem to be hostile to his Trojan name. β
Lorna was still smiling and rolling around on the lawn like a little dragon cub that had just broken its shell, but as soon as she heard this question, she immediately turned around on the lawn, turned her back to the two of them and did not move, silent and did not speak, and could not see her expression.
Solandale gently took Chino's hand and shook her head at him, motioning not to ask the question.
Chino is not the kind of person who is extremely curious, and he didn't plan to force Lorna to say what she didn't want to say, he just wanted to change the subject, but he didn't expect that Lorna took the initiative to speak...
"My motherβ" Lorna's voice was low and mournful, with a hesitant hesitation, as if she was struggling to expose her bloody wounds to others.
Eventually, perhaps with a tentative trust in Chino, she muttered the second half: "My mother... Died at the hands of the Trojans..."
