88 I'll only bully you
Cross-bridge rice noodles and steam-pot chicken, both of which are specialties of Nanwuzhou, have been handed down a long time ago, and if you want to trace back, I am afraid that there is a history of more than hundreds of years.
Since Xu Xianxian went to the kitchen on a whim, Ophelia has pestered the goblin from time to time to eat the food she made herself, and she is known for the deliciousness she makes, and she is not used to eating those dishes made by humans.
In fact, the ingredients are all earthly, whether it is made by her or those chefs, there is no essential difference in the style and taste of the dishes.
However, the seventh princess is her nominal lord after all, and she still has a deep bond of interests, so Xu Xianxian doesn't really care about doing such a trivial thing.
While reminiscing about the events of human times, Lorish skillfully put the sliced chicken pieces into a ceramic bowl and marinated them with fine salt, white pepper and other condiments.
Generally, it takes about fifteen to forty minutes to wait for the marinated meat ingredients, but this is not difficult for a fairy archmage, she just clicked her fingertips on the smooth and tender chicken, and a faint blood-colored magic came out from her fingers, and it drilled into the ceramic bowl at once, so that the condiments quickly mixed and penetrated with the chicken, so that the whole marinating process ended in an instant.
Then the marinated chicken, piece by piece, evenly stacked around the steamer, and then spread a few thin pieces of ginger on the chicken, sprinkled with a little green onion, grass fruit, mushrooms, seasonings, and peeled a few quail eggs, all evenly sprinkled on the chicken pieces.
Unlike ordinary human chefs, all the proportions and sizes of the chicken cooked by Xu Xianxian are extremely regular, and the whole looks like a work of art.
After all the preparations were ready, Little Lori put the lid on the steam pot and put it into a slightly larger soup pot, the stove was about the same height as hers, which was a little inconvenient, so she could only stand on tiptoe and put the big soup pot on the stove.
"Whew... This process doesn't require magic, it has to be cooked slowly, and if it is heated directly, the taste will be much worse. ”
After dealing with these matters, watching the fierce burning of the flames, Xu Xianxian looked at the kitchen with some satisfaction, and began to work on some hometown specialties such as boiled fish with sour bamboo shoots, beef in bamboo tubes, pig's feet with sauerkraut, and stir-fried melons.
The method of crossing the bridge rice noodles is relatively simple, and it takes a short time, in order to avoid the rice noodles from being pasted for a long time, Lori is ready to make this last, and with rice noodles, there is no need for other staple foods, and then make two more noodles, which should be enough for the coquettish little princess to eat.
As a transcendent creature, even if they don't eat all the time, it doesn't have any effect, which is a waste of gold, food, and time, but the goblin nobles eat to satisfy their appetites, not to survive.
An hour and a half later.
"Hmph, how's it delicious?"
Xu Xianxian looked at the dishes on the table, and couldn't help but raise her chin high, venting her little pride.
Or maybe for her, sometimes doing things that humans do might make her feel like a human again.
These dishes are full of color, aroma and detail, which is not only an appetite, but also a visual treat.
Just the meticulous mastery of knife work and fire, Xu Xianxian's magical power is not comparable to humans, even if these are just home-cooked dishes, they are made into works of art by a fairy archmage like her.
"It's delicious, it's much better than those humans make, I really didn't expect human food to be edible. ”
Ophelia 'sucked and sucked' the rice noodles across the bridge and gave a thumbs up.
As a goblin, she is really not used to eating human food, but Natalie's cooking makes her feel 'delicious'.
"That is, in addition to human dishes, I also make magic stone dishes very delicious, and I will make them for you when I return to the empire. ”
Hearing Ophelia's praise, Xu Xianxian's tail was about to rise to the sky, and she couldn't help but boast about herself.
Magic stone dishes are a special dish of goblins, and the ingredients of these dishes are taken from all kinds of edible magic stones.
"Okay..."Ophelia bit off the rice noodles in her mouth, there was still some chili oil on the corner of her mouth, she looked at little Lori with some expectation: "When you retire, I will let you come to my palace to be the imperial chef and come to cook for me every day." ”
Retirement is a human term, and now it is also used by the Seven Princesses for current learning.
"Do you dare to say that when I step down from the position of exclusive knight, it will be a thousand years later, is it possible that I will accompany you forever?"
Xu Xianxian sneered at the Seventh Princess's proposal, she leaned forward with her small body, and gently wiped the greasy corners of the other party's mouth with wet wipes.
There are so many things she has to do, and it is impossible for her to really stay by the side of the Seventh Princess all the time.
Hearing Lori's joking words, Ophelia frowned, feeling that things were not so simple, she grabbed Xu Xianxian's outstretched hand suddenly: "You'll always be by my side, isn't it good?"
Obviously he is his own exclusive knight, but he actually thinks that he will leave him one day, which makes the seventh princess a little uncomfortable.
"Uh..."
Xu Xianxian was caught off guard, and was pulled forward by Ophelia two steps forward, falling into the other party's arms, and the princess took advantage of the situation to hug her.
"It's not bad, but I can't be an exclusive knight for thousands of years, right? Let's stay together every day, Your Highness, you'll get bored with me sooner or later. Xu Xianxian felt that the other party seemed to be a little angry, so her dark eyes rolled, now is not the time to fall out, hurry up and say a few good words to remedy it, "And when Her Royal Highness ascends to the top empress and takes charge of the entire goblin empire, she will definitely make me a knight king, isn't that reasonable?"
Although the exclusive knight does not have a title and power, because of the particularity of the identity, if the following lord becomes the fairy emperor, then according to the procedure, the exclusive knight has the opportunity to be crowned the knight king, control a part of the knight's court, and become one of the high-ranking and powerful princes of the empire.
"Even if I really become the emperor in the future and make you a prince, you will have to be by my side..."Ophelia glanced at Lori, the aura emanating from Natalie's body had a strange sense of intimacy for her, but she seemed to feel that her words were a little ambiguous, and quickly changed her words and said: "Then cook for me." ”
If what she says is true, then Ophelia will be the only goblin emperor in the past to have the Knight King stay in the kitchen to cook for her.
"Huh... Where did you come from, the black-hearted boss?" Xu Xianxian's little face was buried in front of Ophelia, listening to the words of the domineering princess, she had the urge to turn her face, but in the end she held back, and just complained sullenly: "I know that I squeeze child labor and bully free labor like me." ”
The kind, beautiful, gentle and powerful lord of the Black Tower is actually going to be called by the fairy princess as a cook. Even Zhen'er's body in her previous life was a bit excessive.
If she had known that there was today, she should not have bragged about her cooking skills in the first place.
“...... I only bully you. ”
Ophelia's dark pupils glowed with a faint pure white, and she whispered.
