Chapter 255: The Minotaur Scene in Person

At this time, Catherine was lying by the door, looking at the ginger embers and the delicious pig intestines in the kitchen with salivating but extremely complicated expressions.

Damn it....... I'm such a ....... I'm such a hopeless fool, why am I still attracted to it?

Looking at the familiar and embarrassing figure in the kitchen, Catherine couldn't help but reach out and pinch her plump thighs, as if to punish her greed.

As Jiang Ember had guessed before, Catherine had actually been deliberately avoiding him recently, and had been avoiding this lovely younger brother.

Of course, there is no way to do this, after all, the relationship between the two people before is too embarrassing for Catherine, who claims to be her sister.

Although Catherine does like Brother Jiang Ash, she knows that it is impossible for her brother to be with her....... There are so many young and beautiful girls around people, how can they fall in love with such an old woman.

With this in mind, in order not to make the atmosphere between the two more awkward, Catherine chose to take the initiative to back down.

She forcibly resisted the urge to go to Jiang Ember and the urge to find Jiang Ember to make dessert for herself, and she endured it for a few weeks.

It is no exaggeration to say that Catherine has almost endured some strange illness during this time...... The name of this disease is "dessert withdrawal disorder".

Before that, Catherine would often go to Jiang Ember and ask her brother to make delicious desserts for her.

Jiang Ember also knew that Catherine had a very strong sweet addiction, so she would always make a large number of desserts for Catherine at one time, so that she could have a bite of sweet things to enjoy at any time.

After the relationship between the two became so complicated, Catherine tried to buy some desserts from other bakeries instead, but to no avail.

I'm used to eating desserts made by Jiang Ember himself, and those cream breads or sugar puddings sold in ordinary bakeries taste like chewing wax...... This also made Catherine's mood even heavier.

To make matters worse, just as she was wandering around the house with heavy steps today, Catherine suddenly smelled a strong aroma.

Suction ....... It's so fragrant, is it just frying something?

Because Uncle Taiqiong's house is not far from Catherine's house, the smell of cooking there can easily waft to Catherine's nose.

Judging by what Catherine knew about the Taijon family, they probably wouldn't have done such a complicated cooking method as frying.

Then there is only one possibility, Jiang Ember has returned from the monastery and is cooking right next door.

Sensing this, Catherine's first instinct was to flee and leave as soon as possible.

But not long after she pushed the door and walked out, she came to the door of Uncle Taiqiong's house without obeying the call, and for some reason lay on the side of the door and quietly looked inside....... Live like an idiot.

Catherine, Catherine, can you make a difference? Why are you lying here and peeping!

When she realized what she was doing, Catherine couldn't help but want to slap herself in the face, and then hurry up and get out.

But the busy figure in the kitchen and the smell of incense made her unable to move, so she could only lie there with her saliva remaining

In addition to Catherine's sweet tooth, she naturally likes to eat dishes made by Jiang Ash, after all, she thinks that Jiang Ash's brother's cooking skills are the best in the world.

She hadn't eaten her brother's cooking for so long, and Catherine naturally missed the ultimate delicacy, so she couldn't leave for a long time.

However, just when this lady with a very complicated mood thought she was secretly lying on the edge of the door and peeping.

Jiang Ember and Youmi, who were in the kitchen, discovered her existence early....... Or it's strange that you can't find it, the panting sound is flying here.

Teacher Catherine...... I forgot that her house was nearby, so I guess I was attracted by the aroma of my cooking.

For this sister who hasn't seen her for a long time and has become very complicated, Jiang Yan is here

Time doesn't know what to do.

He could only pretend not to notice Catherine's presence, and continued to focus on the oil pot in front of him.

Since Jiang Yan didn't say anything, then Yumi next to him naturally didn't care about Catherine's affairs.

She just glanced over there, then turned to look at Jiang Ash, who had run to the side of the cupboard and picked up a jar.

When Jiang Ember opened the jar, there was a sweet aroma from inside.

Yumi took a deep breath of the tempting sweet fragrance and couldn't help but swallow a little saliva.

As if sensing the girl's actions, Jiang Ember smiled slightly, took out a long chopstick, and took out a round dark ball from the jar, and handed it directly to Yumi's mouth.

"It's ......"

"The candied fruit made with plums is sweet and delicious."

Candied fruit, also known as preserved fruit, is a production method that used molasses to pickle peaches, apricots, plums, jujubes or winter melon, ginger and other fruits and vegetables in ancient times, so that these fruits and vegetables can be preserved for a long time.

In the late last year, there were a lot of green plums in the woods around Wudong Town, so Jiang Ember took some green plums and pickled them in honey to make this batch of candied fruits.

In addition to being a snack, good preserves can also be used in a variety of dishes and desserts.

And Yumi immediately opened his mouth when he knew what it was, took the candied fruit in his mouth and chewed it slowly, and showed a somewhat happy expression.

Sure enough, this kid also likes sweets, just like the guy who hides outside the door and secretly watches.

While Yumi was enjoying the candied plum fruit, Jiang Ember seemed to hear the sound of Teacher Catherine swallowing saliva lying outside the door.

Speaking of which, more than half of this batch of candied fruit was originally prepared for Catherine, but now it is cheaper, and the main owner can only lie outside the door and salivate and watch people eat.

For Catherine, the scene had a strange feeling....... It's like being taken by a minotaur.

Woo woo, my green plum candied fruit, just like that kid ate it, this was originally my thing, woo woo woo woo.

At this time, Catherine swallowed her saliva and showed a bitter expression, looking not to mention how pitiful.

However, although the eldest child looked like he was crying greedily now, Jiang Yan obviously didn't mean to let her go.

For some reason, after discovering that Catherine seemed to have a special feeling for this kind of minotaur behavior, Jiang Ember had the idea of wanting to bully her.

"Alright." So he smiled and patted Yumi's little head, nodded and said, "The big intestine has been fried, so let's make delicious plum sauce next."

"Plum ...... Sauce?"

"Well, the crispy intestine is delicious when eaten empty, but with the sweet and sour plum sauce, the deliciousness will be even higher."

As he introduced, Jiang Ember put all the ingredients for making the sauce and set up another pot to boil.

The so-called plum sauce was originally a special sauce used by southerners to serve with "roast goose" or "roast duck".

Roasted products such as roast goose and roast duck are oily and fatty, and tend to be greasy, but with sweet and sour plum sauce, they can eliminate the oiliness and provide a very fresh fragrance.

Although this plum sauce is eaten with roast goose and roast duck, it is also used to match the crispy large intestine, which is a relatively greasy fried food.

Normally, the traditional plum sauce uses salted and sour plums, but in order to take care of Yumi's taste, Ginger decided to use the sweeter plum compote instead.

This special ginger plum sauce is made with fresh green plums, plum preserves, and fruit vinegar, and is very easy to make.

First, boil the fresh green plum with fruit vinegar until soft, then mash the cooked plum and plum compote together to form a paste, then add a little honey and stir well.

The candied plums marinated in honey are very sweet, and the combination of green plums and fruit vinegar is just right to achieve a balance of sweet and sour.

Of course, compared to the more balanced taste under normal circumstances, the plum sauce made by Jiang Ember today obviously added a little more candied fruit, so it will be sweeter, and it belongs to the kind of flavor that Yumi will definitely like.

After it was ready, he also scooped up a little plum sauce with a spoon and put it on Yumi's mouth, and invited the little gourmand to try it.

"How? Is it delicious?"

"Good...... It's delicious, sweet and sour, and has a fresh aroma."

"Hehe, that's right, it will be more suitable to eat with crispy large intestines in a while, so look forward to it."

Jiang Ember and Youmi were tasting in the kitchen together, a warm scene of joy.

When she saw the warm scene inside, Catherine, who was lying outside the door, had a sour feeling, as if she had eaten green plums that had not been pickled.

Can....... Damn, that child's position was originally mine, and I was the one who gave Jiang Yan's brother a taste.

Catherine pursed her lips tightly, and her face showed a strange look like that of an abandoned resentful woman, and her eyes became resentful.

Probably because the sauce made with candied plums looked so delicious, Catherine had completely forgotten that she was actively avoiding Jiang Yan, who didn't mean to ignore her at all.

In this sour atmosphere, which was more sour than the sour plum, Catherine's fingers that were tightly clung to the door were about to sink into the wooden door, and her eyes were getting hungrier and hungrier every moment.

Although Jiang Ember also felt Catherine's resentment, he decided not to do anything for the time being, and continued to prepare a hearty lunch at noon.

After the fried crispy intestines and plum sauce to dip in, there is a side dish and a soup to make.

Because I got fresh and good pork liver from the "Happy Peppa Pork Shop", it is naturally indispensable to make a spinach pork liver soup.

Ginger Ember washed and slice the fresh pork liver early, then added water and shredded ginger to the bowl and soaked for half an hour, took it out and washed until the blood became clean, and then added some peanut oil and starch to marinate and prepare.

When it's time to serve, you just need to pour oil into the pot, add chopped green onions and stir-fry until fragrant, add an appropriate amount of green water, boil over high heat, add pork liver, cut spinach into sections and a handful of salt.

Although the simple spinach pork liver soup is not famous, it is better because the ingredients are fresh enough, the processing is careful enough, the soup is light and delicious, and the pork liver is tender and not fishy, which is a home-cooked food suitable for the elderly and children.

Finally, after preparing another cold salad of wild bracken, Jiang Ember served all the dishes with the hot rice and beckoned Yumi to come and enjoy them together.

Cooing, looking at the food broth on the table inside, Catherine, who was lying on the door, only felt her stomach start to growl.

It was already close to lunchtime, and Catherine hadn't eaten much breakfast because of her bad mood lately, so she naturally felt even more hungry at this time.

If it had been changed before, before Jiang Yan had served the meal, Catherine was already sitting on a chair with chopsticks and preparing to start the meal.

But with the awkward relationship between the two now, Catherine is embarrassed to walk in and eat.

Ay....... Forget it, I'd better go, nothing good will happen if I stay here.

With a sigh, Catherine retracted her head from the door, and reluctantly walked towards her house.

But just as she had just walked out a few steps, a familiar voice came from the door.

"Teacher Catherine, hurry up and wash your hands and come over for dinner."

"Oh~ Okay! Come now!"

The moment she was summoned by that voice, Catherine seemed to be stirred up by some ancient memory from her blood.

She rushed straight into the kitchen at lightning speed, washed her fair and slender hands vigorously on the side of the kitchen sink, and then made her ass to the edge of the dining table very naturally.

But it wasn't until Jiang Ember familiarly poured soup into the bowl in front of Catherine that she reacted

It doesn't seem quite right.

No....... Wrong! Why did I sit in so naturally! Didn't you say you should stay away from him!

After noticing that she was sitting at the dining table with Brother Jiang Ember and Little Sister Youmi, Catherine's gentle and elegant pretty face twitched slightly, as if she was very speechless about her good dealing.

Suddenly, she looked up at Jiang Yan, who was serving soup to the three of them, her mouth opened slightly, and she looked like she wanted to say something but was embarrassed to say it.

Jiang Ember had already noticed Teacher Catherine's predicament, so he said to her without looking at her:

"No matter what happens, the meal still has to be eaten, anyway, let's finish this meal first."

「....... Hmm."

Now that everyone had said this, Catherine was too embarrassed to get up and leave, so she sat there obediently, holding the soup bowl and drinking the soup in silence.

Teacher Catherine has always been a very noisy person, similar to a child in a way.

Therefore, her taciturn and silent eating appearance made Jiang Yan feel a little novel, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Seeing Jiang Ye's brother like this, Catherine became even more shy, and even almost buried her face in the soup bowl.

Looking at her shy appearance, Jiang Shen felt his index finger move...... I want to bully this cute teacher who usually pretends to be an adult, but is actually very naïve.

So he took the initiative to pick up a piece of fat and crisp large intestine with chopsticks, dipped it in a little plum sauce, and handed it directly to Yumi's mouth in front of Catherine....... Then look forward to what you will see next.
