Chapter 1: The Monastery in Neverwinter

Next Chapter

The so-called "blasphemy" is a concept that corresponds to "sacred".

If "sacred" is the elevation of a living thing, thing, or concept from a secular perspective to the clouds.

"Blasphemy", then, is to pull these seemingly unworldly sacred things back into the dust.

Just like wearing silk and satin, wearing pearl agate, a woman who is radiant and graceful can be called the beauty of the world.

But women who wear long black and white plain dresses, turbans that tie up their long hair, and who are tightly wrapped, wearing crosses or rosaries, and who focus on serving the gods, also have a sense of forbidden beauty.

Everyone admires and fears the sacred.

Everyone also has an underlying sense of blasphemy.

In this regard, Jiang Ember now has a very deep understanding.

Because now he ...... Came to a very special women's monastery.

Monastery, also known as seminary or monastery.

In the Western context, it is a very common hermit institution.

Those who are committed to religion will leave society.

Come to this desolate and formidable frontier of civilization.

Live a life of resigned poverty and lifelong dedication.

It's just that the "Silent Monastery" that Jiang Ember is coming to now is obviously not like this.

"Be careful when you go in, especially don't do anything superfluous."

"Help me get all the goods in the car to the storage room, and then let's go back the way we came."

"There are more rules and regulations here than the leg hair on my wife's legs, and it's no joke if you break it."

……

When Jiang Ember sat in the carriage that seemed to be about to transport people to beheading.

Walk straight along the surprisingly smooth bluestone pavement.

When I came to the monastery on the outskirts of this small village.

He listened to the warning of his boss, Uncle Taiqiong.

He looked at the building in front of him with a surprised gaze.

That's what it is...... Monastery?

No way? It's also too ...... It's so luxurious.

Since crossing over to this "Neverwinter Town", Jiang Shen had never seen such a luxurious building.

Although this small town has a very nice name.

But it's just a border town built in the Sanzhi area.

It is located in the middle of nowhere, although it is not full of people, and the folk customs are quite simple.

But it has little to do with prosperity and abundance.

However, on the way to deliver the goods with Jiang Ember and Uncle Taiqiong, who kindly took him in.

What he saw surprised him immensely.

As soon as I drove through the gate of the seminary, I was greeted by a beautiful courtyard.

Small, lush trees line the path in two staggered rows.

The garden below is covered with purple and red flowers.

Paired with a fountain that trickles clear water, everything looks very atmospheric.

After following the carriage and Uncle Tayon inside.

You can see a thick red carpet in the hallway of the house.

The window next to it is also inlaid with beautiful colorful glass glass, which exudes a brilliant light.

This...... Is this a monastery?

The mansion of the noble lord is nothing more than that, right?

Just as Jiang Ember was amazed by the luxurious decoration of the interior of this monastery.

The two of them had already walked into the back kitchen area of the monastery with a cart pushing a large box of supplies.

According to Uncle Tai Qiong, they are responsible for supplying the ingredients for this monastery.

Although the inhabitants of "Neverwinter" eat well, the ingredients sent to this monastery are even more exaggerated.

Jiang Yan watched as the uncle stuffed a bunch of fresh meat, mutton, potatoes, onions, bread, wine, cream, milk, and various spices into the container.

You know, this is a small town built on the far north edge of the far north at a distance from all the five major human kingdoms.

According to Jiang Yan's knowledge, there are many materials in this town that cannot be produced at all.

In other words, a large part of these materials are transported from an unknown number of miles away.

In this ancient context, where the degree of transportation was not so convenient.

Needless to say, how much manpower and material resources are needed to achieve this step.

To this extent for the sake of a monastery...... What the hell is going on in this place?

With such doubts, Jiang Ember and Uncle Taiqiong sent the material to the storage room.

But just after delivering these various ingredients to the location.

They saw two pretty girls dressed as maids looking like they had a headache.

"What should I do? Mrs. Vicky broke her arm, can we really fix it for dinner today? ”

"Nonsense, of course it's impossible, I'll only make oatmeal and kidney pudding, and it's definitely not okay to give them a few of them to eat."

"Yes, they are...... So what should I do? ”

The two maids whispered in the kitchen door not far away, and the sound reached the ears of Jiang Ember and Uncle Taiqiong.

Uncle Taiqiong looks indifferent on the surface, but he is actually a warm-hearted middle-aged man.

So he raised his eyebrows, put down the empty cart and walked over, and greeted the two maids:

"You two, Lady Vicky isn't there today? No one to cook? ”

"Yes, uncle, you...... Do you know how to cook? ”

The maids also looked at him expectantly, as if they were looking at a savior.

But Uncle Taiqiong laughed and said, "At most, I can spread honey on bread, but I can't entertain the big people above." ”

"Hmm...... Again, let's figure it out. ”

"But although I can't do it, this kid is good at it, right, Brother Jiang."

Uncle Taiqiong stretched out his finger and pointed at Jiang Ash, with full confidence in his tone.

Speaking of which, when I picked up ginger embers in the muddy fields in the suburbs.

Uncle Taiqiong didn't know that this was still a chef.

As a result, in the later life, it was discovered that this young man's cooking skills were extremely clever.

He can make a lot of jaw-dropping dishes, which makes Uncle Taiqiong's family happy every day lately.

Of course, in addition to Jiang Yan's own research on cooking.

The biggest reason is that the overall level of cooking technology in this world is extremely poor.

And...... He has a very special pair of eyes.

Did it really become like this, forget it, just cook a meal, nothing special.

Seeing this good old man who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he pushed himself up in a blink of an eye.

Jiang Ember didn't say anything, but nodded and walked into the storage room on the side.

And the maid who followed up on the side asked, "How many people are going to have dinner today?" What are the usual dishes? ”

"There were five hosts in the meal, and the dinner was originally scheduled for a creamy bisque, roast duck, avocado with cauliflower and chocolate shortbread."

…… It's a fine dinner, and the chef's skills seem to be pretty good.

Suddenly, Jiang Yan looked at the duck meat piled up in the corner of the storage room.

All of this wild duck meat was sent by him and Uncle Taiqiong, and it was very fresh.

Moreover, Wudong Town is densely covered with hills on three sides, and Muscovy ducks are naturally stocked in the mountains and forests, drinking spring water and eating herbs.

The muscovy duck raised in this way is not only very delicious, but also has a musky aroma, which tastes like a mouthful.

It's just that grilling alone can't achieve the needs of "perfect cooking", and it can't retain the deliciousness inside.

So the ginger ember didn't plan to roast it as previously scheduled.

For Jiang Yan, who has been in this world for nearly two months.

He now knows very well that the ingredients in this world are very special.

Even the wild duck meat hunted outside the village has a subtle "mist".

The so-called "fog" is a kind of power that ordinary people can't see, as if only Jiang Ember can detect it.

As long as these "fogs" can be retained during the cooking process, the so-called "perfect cooking" can be achieved.

You will be able to bring out the deliciousness of the ingredients to the point where you can go beyond the limits and cook very delicious dishes.

So after picking a few ducks with a relatively thick fog.

Jiang Ember placed the duck on the cooking table, picked up the kitchen knife and waved it.

I saw a flash of knife light, and a duck had been separated almost in four or five seconds.

This...... What is it! What a speed!

Seeing Jiang Yan's super speed of handling the duck, the two maids couldn't help but cover their mouths.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yan's speed of doing things before was not so exaggerated.

It's still the change that comes after coming into this world and eating many "perfectly cooked" dishes.

It seems that "perfectly cooked" dishes are good for the human body? That's probably what happened.

In short, Jiang Ember just cooked in this strange kitchen.

It's just that he didn't roast the duck according to the previous recipe.

Instead, he used a method that is new to the world to make today's main course.

The two maids stared at them with increasing amazement.

Jiang Ember picked up some of the fatter back subcutaneous fat and belly meat.

Light the fire, put it in a pan, and start to fry over low heat.

Now it is autumn, the autumn ducks are fat, and the wild muscovy ducks in the forest are all white and fat.

Put the fat part in a pan and fry it slightly.

The fragrant duck fat slowly seeped out with a crunching sound.

For a while, the kitchen was filled with the smell of oil.

Animal fats and fats are already very rich in flavor when heated.

The fat of this muscovy duck is one of the best, the color is like amber, clear and transparent.

Add some spices to boil, and it is a very good cooking oil after removing the smell.

But this operation made the two little maids confused.

What do you mean? Why fry these fatty meats?

The whole pan is full of oil, how can you eat this dish?

After the two looked at each other, the petite maid on the left hand side asked in a whisper:

"This little brother, don't you think this dish is too ...... Is it too greasy. ”

"It looks greasy, but it doesn't taste good."

"But ......"

"Don't worry, just look at the finished product when the time comes."

Although Jiang Ember looks young, his posture of speaking and doing things is still quite old-fashioned.

So much so that although I couldn't understand what this guy was doing at all.

But the demeanor of the master made the two maids dare not criticize too much.

Of course, Ginger Ember doesn't make a dish that's too greasy to eat.

What he was going to do now was a very good background for this world.

It is also a top-notch dish that brings out all the deliciousness of wild duck meat.

It's just that Jiang Yan, who is cooking excitedly, hasn't noticed it yet.

What an impact this dish will have on his life......
