Char skillfully began to handle the fish on the board with a knife.

The appearance of whitefish is very beautiful, with a broad, fat body, a small head, and a shiny body, which looks like a wild fish.

The breeding range of high whitefish is very limited, especially in places like Sailim Lake, which is a very scarce resource, and its latitude, altitude, and especially the purity of the water are basically unique to Beichen. The environment in which the fish grow is natural and wild, clean and free of pollution.

With such a good fish, it doesn't matter how you make it, because it's delicious to cook.

Char and Alicia come here once a year.

One is to enjoy the scenery here, and the other is to eat the fish here.

He removed the scales, shaved the belly open, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.

He took a bowl from the sideboard on the side of the hearth, then pulled out a lot of fish roe from his stomach and put it in the bowl.

"It looks like there's an unexpected surprise." Cassifer teased.

Char grabbed a handful of fish roe and threw it into Cassifer's mouth.

Cassifer chewed it carefully, then nodded, "Fresh, salty, not bad." ”

Char thought for a moment, "Looks like there's another dish." ”

Then he sliced the white salmon into two slices along the middle bone, then cut it into finger-wide fish sticks, put them in a container, and marinated them on one side with soy sauce, crushed black pepper, cooking wine, and sugar.

I began to cut the ginger into cubes, cut the onion into cubes, and cut the green onion into sections for later use.

Then he picked up a large pot hanging on the wall from one side of the wall and put it on Cassifer, poured an appropriate amount of peanut oil into the pot, and after the oil was hot, first fried the garlic cloves until golden brown, and then added ginger, green onions, onions, and dried chili peppers to fry until fragrant.

Then change the casserole, put the marinated fish sticks evenly in the casserole, pour the fried ingredients on it, and cover the pot.

"It's bigger." Char said.

"Then don't look at it!" Cassifer's efforts raised the flame a little.

A few minutes later, Char opened the lid and sprinkled green onions, and the baked whitefish was actually ready.

But then he put the lid on the pot again, and poured a circle of rice wine along the edge of the lid to seal the edge.

Cassifer tried to breathe in the aroma of wine in the air, and said intoxicatedly, "This rice wine is so fragrant." ”

"You can't drink it." Char said, "The alcohol content is not enough. ”

Cassifer pursed his lips and retracted into the hearth.

Char looked at the caviar on the table behind him, and then at the remaining salmon, he thought for a moment and said, "Then make another crispy potato with smoked salmon caviar, the family just wants to be neat." ”

By the time Alicia and Sissi returned, the sun was already high in the sky.

At this moment, on the dining table in the courtyard, the stove that Char used to make tea around the stove was placed on the table, but at the moment there was a frying pan on it, and on the plate was a plate of grilled fish soaked in red oil, sprinkled with many side dishes.

There are potato chips, tofu cubes, enoki mushrooms, bean sprouts, vermicelli, cauliflower, lotus root, cucumber, and so on.

The charcoal of the stove is constantly heating the grilled fish, and the red oil is bubbling and bubbling, which makes people can't help but relish.

Next to it are many dishes, all made of whitefish.

"I did it." Char took off her apron and said happily to Sissi, "It's your favorite fish." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks that had been placed on the table.

The outer layer of fish skin is grilled to a crispy crisp, and Char gently cuts it open with chopsticks, revealing the fluffy flesh.

He picked up a piece of fish with the skin on it, served it with the soup, and brought it to Sissi's mouth.

"Taste it."

Sissi raised her eyes to look at him, but she still opened her mouth and ate it, the skin was crispy on the outside, and the inside was smooth and tender, with a kind of freshness that can only be found when live fish is grilled.

Spicy and spicy are blended together, and the meat is also delicate and firm, mixed with a hint of charcoal fragrance.

High whitefish is not suitable for grilled fish that needs to be grilled all the time due to its high fat content (up to 36% unsaturated fat), short muscle fibers, and extremely smooth meat, so it should not be cooked for too long. It is best to use a black fish, and the most important thing is that the black fish has no spines.

"How's it going, is it delicious?" Char said expectantly.

Sissi looked at Char again. To be honest, when she saw Char before, her first impression of him was that of an unfathomable wise man, and very calm.

And not like it is now

Alicia chuckled, "You scared her." ”

Char raised her eyebrows.

"It's delicious." Sissi said.

Char smiled and seemed very happy as she sat down across from Sissi.

In front of him is the fragrant and attractive grilled fish, with its own gurgling BGM, boiling soup, strong aroma, and with the Sailim Lake reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the side, there is a strong sense of comfort.

The man in front of him was right, he really liked to eat fish.

Sissi couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks and try to pick up a piece of whitefish baked in a casserole.

Whitefish is a low-temperature fish that dies when it comes out of the water, so it is best to eat it by the lake, and only here can you eat the freshest.

The taste of the fish is delicate, tender and smooth, and the meat is firmer and has a deeper flavor. In particular, the freshness of this fish is very resistant, and there is no freshness condiments such as chicken essence and monosodium glutamate added during the cooking process, so it is the umami of the natural color.

This kind of freshness can only be felt when you really taste it, and it can be expressed in any language description.

"I'm going to set up a door in the future that will allow you to get back and forth between here and your villa at any time, and you can stay here whenever you want." Char said softly.

"She'll sleep with me tonight." Alicia said.

Char nodded, laughing at herself, "Then it looks like I'm alone." ”

"I've slept with you for hundreds of years, and I'm not used to it?" Alicia teased.

Char smiled, "There's a good chance I'll go with Tony in the evening to find out about the colonization of Mars." ”

Hearing this, Sissi couldn't help but raise her head to look at him.

"Martian colonization?"

Seeing Sissi's curious eyes, Char looked at Alicia and said proudly, "It seems that this kid is more willing to follow me." ”

Sissi picked up the crispy potatoes on the table with smoked salmon caviar, the moment the caviar and the lips and tongue were handed over, you could experience a burst of coolness, the full grains of fish roe rolled between the tip of the tongue and the palate, slightly forced, the aroma of cracked fish roe instantly filled the mouth, full of fresh fragrance, savor, you can also taste the sweetness, delicious bloom on the tip of the tongue.

Then you can taste the smoked salmon under the caviar, which is a type of salmon itself, so the taste of this slightly smoked white salmon is very similar to salmon, with a rich flavor and a jelly-like texture, which melts away with a light stroke. Crispy potatoes are the finishing touch.

Alicia snorted unconvinced, and looked at Sissi, "There will be a beautiful starry sky here at night. ”

Sissi remembered the starry night that Van Gogh had just seen in the living room, and it was so beautiful that it was hard to imagine what a beautiful scene the real starry sky would be.

"The starry sky here is really beautiful." Char whispered.

After a pause, he said, "That Martian city is just a concept now, and later, I will show you a huge Martian city where dragons and humans live together." ”

"Dragons?" Sissi's eyes lit up, "Are there still dragons in this world?" ”

"It's not just dragons, but there are quite a few," Char's eyes glowed with a faint light.

He looked at Sissi, "Would you like to see it, I can catch one for you." Of course, if you want to raise it, it's no problem. ”

Sissi shook her head, "I'm just asking. ”

Although she knew in her heart that the two people in front of her were her biological parents, her memory had not yet recovered, and it was a feeling of familiarity and strangeness to them, and she couldn't get used to this sudden concern.

"You've actually read about dragons before." Alicia said softly, "There's a book in the library below that has a lot of notes on you, but your memories haven't been unlocked yet. Or rather, obscured by your long memories. ”

Sissi nodded, and as they walked along the shores of Lake Serim, Alicia had actually answered all her doubts.

"You wait."

Char seemed to have thought of something and walked into the castle. When he came out again, he had a big egg in his hand.

This egg is so big that it needs to be held in two hands. Of course, one hand is enough for Char.

The eggshell is hard and glows like a jewel.

This is when Char went to the Dragon Realm before.

There is an old saying in Shenzhou, thieves don't go. Ahem, it should be "come and come", since you have been going once, it is not easy to go back to other places, so you naturally have to bring some souvenirs back.

"This should be a dragon egg." Char placed the egg at Sissi's feet, "You can play with it and see if it can hatch." It is said that dragons recognize the first person they see after being born as their mother. ”

Sissi looked at Alicia at a loss for a moment.

"Take it." Alicia cupped her chin and said lazily, "If you don't take this, your father will probably take it to make poached eggs to eat, and he did such a thing." ”

"Look at what you say, talk about me like a rice bucket." Char pursed her lips and said, "How can I finish eating such a big egg." ”

He looked at the egg and touched his chin in thought.

"One third of the scrambled eggs, one third of the fried rice, and the last third of the tomato egg soup. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten dragon eggs yet. ”

"You've already sent it away." Alicia said.

Char raised her eyebrows.

Alicia looked at Sissi with soft eyes, "Have you eaten enough?" ”

Sissi nodded.

"Do you want to take a shower?"

Since the demon invasion last night, Sissi has been following Sherlock and the others on all kinds of runs, and she really can't be considered too clean along the way.

She nodded.

Alicia got up slowly and enthusiastically pulled her to the living room. At the same time, he shouted at Cassifer.

"Cassifer, get us some hot water."

"First floor or second floor?" Cassivah asked.

"The first floor, my one."

"Oak, leave it to me!" Cassifer took a deep breath, his chest bulging, and raised his hands to make a bodybuilder's motion, his slender arms bulging out two small packets of flame like muscles.

The chimney at the top of the castle began to emit black smoke and steam spews.

"Whoa~"

As Sissi and Alicia entered the living room, she heard the sound of water running from one side.

Alicia pushed open the door with Sissi.

Inside is a bathroom, separate bathroom with only a large bathtub.

The wooden dark floors and wooden cabinets are very stylish.

Hot water spills into the tub through a pipe on one side, steaming hot, and next to the tub is a screen.

Alicia stepped forward and pulled the screen next to the tub open, revealing the window behind her.

Through this window, they can see the beauty of Lake Selim and the snow-capped mountains in the distance under the sun.

The lake itself is sparsely populated, and the windows themselves are one-way windows, so those inside can see the outside, while those outside can't see the inside, and there is no need for a screen itself.

Screens only add a sense of security.

"Take off your clothes and put them in the dirty laundry basket over there." Alicia gestured to the dirty laundry basket on one side.

Sissi nodded, but after waiting for a while, she couldn't help but look at Alicia, who was still here.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"Don't you like to wash with me?" Alicia asked softly.

A hint of sadness quickly appeared on her face, "You used to like to take a bath with me." ”

At this time, of course, Sissi couldn't refuse, she had to shake her head, "No, I can." ”

Alicia smiled and slowly removed her clothes.

When the morning sun shone on her, Rao is Sissi herself was a woman, and her breathing stopped a little in that moment.

Her skin was as white as congealed cream, as clear as snow, and when the sun shone on her, she was reminded of the sunlit mountains she had just seen, blooming with a dazzling brilliance.

"You're so beautiful." Sissi said with a heartfelt emotion.

Alicia smiled happily.

Together, they walked into the bathtub. The water temperature is very comfortable, just at a hot, but not too hot stage. With the scenery of the snow-capped mountains in the distance, it makes people feel happy.

"Try turning this." Alicia pointed to a knob next to the tub.

This knob matches the decoration style of this room very well, so when Sissi saw it, she thought it was a button to release water.

But hearing Alicia's words, Sissi flipped the button.

"Jingle Bell~"

With a crisp sound, the scenery outside the window suddenly began to change.

The starry sky is in the sky, the soft full moon illuminates this endless sea of clouds, and the waves crash on the shore like a soft nocturne.

"What's here, illusion?" Sissi asked suspiciously.

"Not exactly." "This is our private peninsula in Britannia and the house itself. ”

Sissi immediately remembered where she had come when she came here, and she murmured, "It seems that I entered this house from here." ”

"So we didn't actually leave? The mechanical creature that left?"

Alicia smiled, "You can understand that this house has access to many places. ”

Sissi nodded thoughtfully.

"Turn it around again." Alicia said softly.

Intrigued, Sissi turned the knob again.

"Jingle Bell~"

The view from the window becomes a garden.

The air is pleasant, the floral fragrance is fragrant, and there are thousands of flowers here, and the aroma that emanates is intoxicating and beautiful.

There are pink three-petaled flowers, large pansies, oleanders, lupins of various colors, orange lilies, tall white lilies, too many to count, tall vines, some strangely shaped plants, and some strangely colored leaves.

In the distance, there is a very large peach forest, pink peach blossoms bloom all over the mountains, and a fragrant warm wind flies by. Countless peach blossoms are flying all over the sky.

"This is Cecily in Britannia." "This yard was there when we bought this house, and the owner of the house is a man who likes flowers, and it was given to you by a friend of your father's, but he is no longer there. ”

"I've been here." Sissi muttered under her breath, "But I never thought this house would be yours. ”

"That's how dramatic fate is sometimes." There was a faint glint in Alicia's eyes.

Sissi continued to turn the knob, and the familiar chime rang out.

The view from the window is of a small hill with a city at the bottom of the hillside.

At a glance, whether it is the eaves or the pillars, they all use the design of architectural integration, which is very similar to Beichen, but it is also mixed with some Western-style neoclassical buildings, churches, bell towers and some Western-style palaces.

Now it seems to be a festival, and the whole city is hung with orange lanterns, and the whole city seems to have become a golden city that radiates golden light, shining with scorching light.

The huge complex of buildings with different styles gives people a sense of prosperity of "all nations are coming" and a feeling of being a world cultural exchange center. There's a different kind of beauty.

Sissi opened her eyes, and there was a hint of distraction in her eyes, and some memories of the past came to her mind.

"Here it is"

"Where you've been since you were a kid." Alicia leaned lazily against the edge of the tub and watched it all.

With a light lift of her hand, water dripping outside the bathtub, she pointed to a house in the distance, "Look, you can see the house you used to live in here. ”

Sissi looked at this perspective, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity gradually came to her heart.

Suddenly, she turned her head sharply, her eyes slightly open, and she looked at Alicia in disbelief.

"He is. Uncle Ian? ”

In her early childhood, she had an uncle who accompanied her until adulthood.

In his memory, he was very kind to himself like his father, and he would satisfy himself no matter what he wanted.

Take yourself to a lot of fun places, eat a lot of delicious things, and buy her a lot of books and beautiful dresses.

But after she moved, she never saw him again, and she was sad for a long time.

"We've never been absent from your life." Alicia whispered softly, "You just can't notice it." Your house in Sahiri, which was actually chosen by him as well, has just the right view of that garden. ”

At some point, it started to rain outside, and it gradually became heavier and louder.

Heavy rain played a song on the earth, and the earth mixed with the cool and bitter smell of grass and trees spread in the city.

The city lit up by orange lanterns is even more beautiful under the hazy fog.

Sissi's eyes rippled like puddles of water droplets. (End of chapter)
