Chapter Forty-Eight: Fire, Marshmallows, Neuropathy
This dinner was for everyone except An Jie.
It's a delicious and relaxing way to live.
So much so that after the meal, they lazily gathered in the recreation room next door to the restaurant.
By the fire that rises at night, I drink the herb tea brewed by Elulu herself.
From time to time, he also took the soft marshmallows roasted by the charcoal fire from Jiang Yan's hands.
The monastery of silence lacked everything, but there was no shortage of supplies.
Fruits, cakes, biscuits, and sweets are all sorts of sweets.
It's no exaggeration to say that it's really piled up like a hill in the warehouse.
Since they had ready-made ingredients in their hands, Jiang Yan simply baked such a sweet snack for them.
Thread the marshmallows into bamboo skewers and place them on the edge of the charcoal fire to roast while turning.
As the charcoal fire heats slowly, the marshmallow will gradually expand and the snow-white skin will also turn brown.
The sugars melt quickly due to the high temperature and then quickly bond together.
A surprisingly thin crust is formed on the crust of the marshmallow.
The sugar inside is concentrated at high temperatures, making it sweet and sticky.
When you bite into the crispy crust on the outside, the syrup inside flows out like melted cheese and rampages in your mouth.
As long as you are not averse to sugar, basically no one will not like this taste.
So as the sweet smell of the fragrance began to spread, everyone around the fire also became soft.
"Oh oh! Roasted marshmallows turned out to be so delicious, why hadn't I thought about it that way before. ”
"Speaking of which, half-melted sugar seems to be better than solid sugar, and the sugar wrapped in the sugar pancake is also sweeter."
"It's decided, I'm going to bake marshmallows every night from now on, and ordering this before going to bed will definitely make me dream."
"Eating this before going to bed will only cause tooth decay, don't go to Anjie for a toothache when the time comes, she will only suggest that you knock out your teeth."
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense over there, I'll still cure tooth decay, but it's just not guaranteed. ”
……
When the crowd gathered around the fire and laughed.
Jiang Ember listened quietly with a smile.
He didn't seem to intend to get into the girls' conversation.
In comparison, it's more important not to scorch the marshmallows on your hands.
However, Jiang Yan was turning the seven or eight bamboo sticks in his hand.
A slender figure sat down next to him silently.
Jiang Ember turned his head to look, only to realize that it was Kassandra sitting over.
Her blonde hair glowed brightly in the light of the fire.
The three-dimensional and delicate facial features have a sculptural dreamlike beauty.
…… She's so pretty.
When you see that familiar face.
Jiang Yan couldn't help but think of this in his heart.
Of the five, Kassandra's face was probably the most upright.
Others may be able to pick out some very, very, very small faults.
But Kassandra had absolutely not.
Even the most critical critics can only admit it.
The face was so perfect that it looked like a god had measured it with a ruler.
So Jiang Yan smiled at her, raised the skewer in his hand and asked:
"Lady, do you need some sweet roasted marshmallows?"
"It's a great honor, but before I do that, I want to get down to business."
"Business? About what? ”
Ginger Ember handed over a well-roasted marshmallow.
I asked as I picked one up and ate it.
"What about you...... What a dementor soup thing. ”
"You're talking about Meng Po's Soul Soup, it's almost done."
"Can you catch it tomorrow afternoon?"
"Tomorrow afternoon? What do you mean......"
"There's information from the town that Lady Vichy will leave for the monastery tomorrow after lunch."
When it comes to it.
Kassandra's eyes flashed with seriousness.
Although she has always been so serious in her life.
But now this kind of seriousness is the kind of seriousness of soldiers who are ready to go into battle to kill the enemy.
…… I see, is it back?
Hearing this, Jiang Ember naturally understood what Kassandra meant.
Tomorrow afternoon, the one who has only heard of him by name will not see him.
It is said that he was sent to the town's church for treatment because he broke his arm.
In addition to the head chef of the abbey, the lady who also doubles as a liaison for the "Night Watch".
Lady Vicky will return to the monastery where she is not at all faithful.
Before that, Jiang Ember must prepare Meng Po's soul dementor soup.
Otherwise, as long as Mrs. Wei Qi reports Jiang Yan's matter.
His plan to become the head chef in the convent must have blown up.
It's even hard to figure out that Jiang Ember will be subject to various investigations by the "Night Watch".
Don't forget, Jiang Ember is also a traverser.
To put it bluntly, the traverser is a black household, a mysterious person who has no way out.
Although the inhabitants of Neverwinter may not care about this.
But it was clearly impossible for a professional organization like the Night's Watch not to care.
At that point, Jiang Ember may be a little troublesome.
To prevent this from happening.
When Mrs. Wei Qi comes back tomorrow, she must be controlled with the "Meng Po Soul Soup".
For this, Jiang Yan naturally has full confidence.
He took a bite off the marshmallow on a bamboo skewer and felt the crispy shell pop under his chew.
Then he said in a confident tone:
"Don't worry, as long as she is willing to eat the food I cook tomorrow, she will definitely not be able to run."
"Well, Madame Wei Qi usually takes pleasure in cooking, and if you provoke her a little, she will definitely be tricked."
Kassandra was all too familiar with Lady Vichy's caretaker.
Originally, as that lady, she didn't need to cook for everyone.
Once upon a time, there were other chefs in the monastery.
But because I've been here for so long, it's too boring.
Mrs. Wei Qi then began to try to wash her hands and make soup, but it turned out to be out of control.
Later, she quit the chef and took up the position of full-time chef herself, and she has specialized in this area.
Hearing Kassandra say this, Jiang Ember couldn't help but laugh:
"Sounds like a funny guy."
"It used to be a funny guy, but now it'...... It's not normal anymore. ”
"Not quite normal? Why? ”
"She's been here for so long, since we didn't even come to the convent."
Kassandra said as she looked at the old buildings around her.
The "Monastery of Silence" has been built for thousands of years.
In these long years, I don't know how many people's blood and tears have been soaked here.
It is true that for the nuns, who are sealers, they are in prison here.
But for the members of the Night's Watch who are the watchmen, it's not a prison.
