Chapter 276: The Great Boss and the Dark Cuisine
As for Catherine, she actually likes Jiang Ember a lot. Don't get me wrong, Catherine's liking isn't between men and women, it's closer to liking pets.
After all, in the eyes of Catherine, who has lived for so many years and her strength has reached the realm of a god, she and humans are no longer the same kind of creatures.
It is precisely because she looks at humans from such a high perspective that Catherine likes humans, just as humans like small animals such as cats and dogs.
Among them, Jiang Yan, a very interesting young man, is obviously Catherine's favorite kind of little animal, because it can make her feel new and strange for a long time.
The "mimic egg fried rice" at the last luncheon was amazing, even in Catherine's thousands of years of life experience, which naturally left a deep impression on her.
But Catherine never imagined that this interesting chef would have something to do with her safe house.
And if I'm not mistaken...... He was holding a ...... in his hand Blade of Passion?
Suddenly, Catherine looked at the pomegranate dagger held in Jiang Yan's hand, and a trace of essence flashed in her eyes.
In the past so many years, Catherine naturally did not see this artifact given to the oracle by the god of desire.
If Catherine remembers correctly, the last time this artifact was created was almost five hundred years ago.
At that time, a sealer obtained this artifact by chance, or the sealer who took the initiative to find this artifact.
And under the bewitchment of this artifact, the sealer almost released the "God of Desire" Asmantis, which can be said to be a terrifying natural disaster that few people know.
Fortunately, this operation was quickly detected by the "night watchman" at the time, and several high-ranking ...... It was mainly the action of the "Mahatma" Kusa, and the situation was quickly calmed down.
It's just that according to Kusa's later words, this artifact with the power of desire disappeared in the end, and I don't know where it was hidden by the sealer.
For this dagger, the Night's Watch later searched the world, but found nothing.
I didn't expect ...... This lost artifact actually appeared in front of Catherine again today, and it still fell into the hands of such a young man.
Looking at Jiang Ember who was holding the blade of love, the essence in Catherine's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was thinking about how to deal with this matter.
According to normal logic, as the leader of the Night's Watch, she must have confiscated this artifact and arrested the young man in the "Sky Prison. Partridge Island" went to eat in prison.
Generally speaking, the vast majority of criminals who are extremely harmful to the world are executed on the spot.
But if there are some prisoners who are not suitable for direct execution, and there are still some prisoners who are oppressive, they will be locked up in that prison above the clouds.
Due to the harsh environment, strict management, and high altitude in Partridge Island, there is no possibility of escaping.
Therefore, many prisoners there have been imprisoned for hundreds of years, and even for two or three thousand years.
If you are locked up in a prison like that, it is really better to live than to die, and it may be easier to chop you on the spot.
What to do? Are you going to take him to Partridge Island....... But in this case, will there be some .......
If it were an ordinary person, Catherine would definitely not hesitate for a second, and would be caught on the spot and thrown into prison.
But Jiang Ember is a young man she is very optimistic about, and has recently given her a very novel taste enjoyment, which makes Catherine more or less hesitant.
As Catherine hesitated, she subconsciously walked back from the top terrace of the safe house, as if she were on a walk.
This was Catherine's habit for many years, and whenever the big leader encountered any tangled situation, she would walk around like this, and she would not walk more than three meters away.
This habit was developed by Catherine from a very young age, and it was also related to some special experiences she had as a child.
However, when Catherine walked a short distance behind her, she saw a small box in the corner of the terrace.
The shape of the box is very strange, and it is freezing cold even on this hot day.
This is........ Incubator? And it seems to have ice cubes or something?
With a burst of curiosity, Catherine walked over and opened the box casually, and then her eyes immediately widened slightly.
Ice, the first thing that catches your eye when you open the box is a white ice cube.
In the center of the ice cube is a silver bowl sealed with a lid, which seems to contain something.
The large silver bowl is tightly fastened with a lid on top, and it exudes a cold chill because it is surrounded by ice cubes, giving it a chilling feeling.
Catherine naturally didn't know about this primitive method of icing, but she couldn't imagine what was chilled in this silver bowl.
Usually, this is an ice-cream-like snack that needs to be chilled.
It's hot now, and it's no surprise that you can see similar ice cream carts stuffed with ice cubes everywhere.
What's more, "Snow Ice", the world's first iced confectionery, was actually invented by Catherine.
The invention of this dessert has a story, although it is a difficult one for Catherine.
In a hot day, she ran alone to the ice cellar to escape the heat, and drank cold sweet milk while leaning on the ice.
But perhaps because the ice cellar made her feel so comfortable, Catherine fell asleep drinking and poured half a cup of sweet milk on the large ice cube.
When she woke up, she saw that the sweet milk had formed stubble on the ice cubes, and she curiously scooped up the sweet milk ice cubes with a shovel and ate them, but found that the taste was very sweet and unusually cold.
It was only after that the unique confectionery was officially invented, and it spread to the world at a rapid pace, and has been continuously improved by people for thousands of years.
To this day, when people eat ice cream in the hot summer every year, who would have thought that this food was born only because a big guy fell asleep in the ice cellar....... And not frozen to death yet.
So to this day, when they see this kind of food in a silver bowl and put it in ice cubes, most people think of ice cream, and they don't even have to guess.
But the problem was that Catherine knew that the young man had so many tricks that she couldn't predict what he might put in the bowl.
What is it? What the hell is this? It's so itchy.
So looking at the silver bowl, Catherine couldn't help but fold her hands and fall into deep thought.
For this great leader who has been in power for thousands of years, it is very rare to be in such a state of curiosity and excitement.
She has basically lost interest in most things in the world early, and is now in that state of eating and waiting for death, and living one day at a time.
Even the reason why Catherine has been the leader of the Night's Watch for so many years is not so much that she really wants to protect humanity, but that she wants to find something to do for herself, so as not to be so bored that she wants to commit suicide.
Because of this, she cherishes these things that can interest her, just like she cherishes Jiang Yan, a young cook.
It's just that although Catherine is very curious about the contents of the silver bowl, she also knows that this is someone else's personal belongings after all, and it is more or less indiscriminate to open it secretly.
This seat is the first seat of the dignified night watchman, the dignified "Silver Candle Divine Choice", how can he do such a trivial thing.
But this young man named Jiang Ember is holding the artifact of the God of Desire in his hand, indicating that he should be in a state of being bewitched by the God of Desire now.
Well....... In order to find out what happened to this young man, it seems necessary to deal with him
The edges of the items are examined in detail.
That's right, this seat didn't open someone's personal belongings out of curiosity or greed, it was out of carelessness....... Phew, it is out of righteousness, out of the righteousness without the slightest selfishness.
After skillfully anesthetizing herself with the "Theory of Righteousness", Catherine picked up the cold silver bowl and carefully opened it.
Catherine has a high opinion of the ginger embers who make the "mimic egg fried rice", so she also thinks that the contents of this silver bowl will be amazing.
The moment I opened the lid of the bowl, what emerged from it was a big disappointment.
It's a bowl of ....... A bowl of ....... A bowl of black, strange things that I don't know how to describe, so much so that Catherine pulled down her face at once. Look at the book
To put it simply, the contents of the silver bowl looked like a bowl of soot boiled into a slimy semi-solid liquid, with some white custard in the middle and a thinly shaved smoothie underneath.
The contents of this bowl are very unpleasant, at least from the point of view of appearance, and most people will certainly not like it at first sight.
After all, you're black, it's like a bowl of soot paste on ice, what's the matter?
But after Catherine experienced the initial disappointment, she re-examined the situation in the silver bowl with an objective eye, and saw a surprising scenery.
Because the silver bowl is covered with a finely crumbled smoothie underneath, it should be a bowl that resembles a "snowflake ice".
At first glance, the soot-like semi-solid liquid here looks ashy, but when you look closely, it gives you a very delicate feeling.
Especially with the white custard and transparent smoothie padded on the top and bottom, it will show a gradient of black, gray, white and transparent layers when viewed from the top down, which can give people a wonderful artistic beauty.
And when I got closer and smelled it a little, I could smell a faint aroma of sesame seeds and sweet aroma of taro from the cold breath.
Sesame? Taro? Wait a minute........ Is this bowl of black stuff made of these things? That's weird, right?
After quickly reacting to what these black, sticky things were, Catherine suddenly looked even more confused.
There is such a thing as "sesame seeds" in this world, but in most cases they are used as medicinal ingredients, not simply as food.
People in humid regions often use sesame oil to treat arthritis, sprains and neuralgia, while people in desert areas like to boil sesame leaves in water to make a paste to treat skin diseases.
On some small overseas islands, the sap of sesame seeds is considered to have an aphrodisiac effect, and the sesame seeds themselves are used as an emetic or adjunct to insomnia.
In short, sesame seeds are used by many people in many places, but adding them to smoothies as a dessert is really a way that Catherine has never thought of eating....... It's even stranger to mix with taro at the same time.
Taro is a rare root vegetable that can only be seen occasionally in the tropics, and is only eaten by the residents of Yege.
Taro is either cooked slimy with tomatoes and chicken, or thinly sliced and fried as an appetizer or side dish, and who would have thought of adding it to desserts? Isn't that?
It was precisely because this bowl of sesame taro smoothie was far beyond Catherine's imagination that she was in a stalemate holding the silver bowl in her hand.
What to do? I always feel like this is a trap, this seat is eating? Still not eating?
To Catherine, this strange iced dessert was more like a dark dish to play tricks on people than a delicacy.
But the problem is that now that she has opened the refrigerator and taken things out, it doesn't seem good to put them back as they are, and it always feels like she's throwing in the towel.
At this moment, Catherine's face seemed to appear in front of her eyes, and there was a smug smile on that face.
What do you think? O great leader of the Night's Watch, will you eat or not?
You don't eat
You can't condemn me, but if you eat it, you're falling for me.
Poofha, hahahahaha! Whether you eat or not, you've already lost, and you've lost badly.
If it were ordinary people who suffered this level of ridicule, they would definitely be so angry that they scratched their ears and cheeks on the spot, and their blood pressure surged.
But Catherine is a big leader who has lived for so many years, how can she break her defense because of such a trivial matter.
So she just frowned slightly, and sneered, "It's just a bowl of smoothie, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be? What is my fear?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she picked up a spoon from the side of the refrigerator and directly scooped up a spoonful of the strange black thing and sent it to her mouth.
Catherine must admit that she was still a little hesitant the moment she put this strange spoonful in her mouth.
But just as she was eating, Catherine, who was already ready to be disgusted, was stunned for a moment, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
It's not that the mess in this silver bowl is really so unpalatable....... But....... It's that this lump of stuff that looks black and has no shape at all is actually delicious?
No, it's not just delicious, it's delicious! It's simply amazingly delicious!
