"What is this doing?" asked the middle-aged witch looking at Erica's behavior.

"It's not bread, it's bread, but it's too big. Anzas said.

By this time, Erica had already torn the dough in her hand into a large piece, and then said, "Thank you for your salt, especially this spiced salt, I haven't been able to find so many condiments." ”

Erica said, sprinkling salt on the bread.

Originally, it was to add salt and five-spice powder, but with Natz's special flavor salt, it was in place in one go.

Then, Erica took out Juliet and began to cut it.

Soon, the bread was divided into portions, but it was not broken.

Then Erica folded them up and wrapped them together.

"Then came the final proofing, steaming. ”

In the past, it was always a hassle to make zuò, but since I learned Watt's steam magic, it is equivalent to having a natural steamer, which is very convenient to use.

Erica quickly steamed the cake.

Take it out and cut it, and it's a steamed cake.

"The salty steamed cake is finished, but unfortunately I can't add other ingredients, and I always feel a little regretful. ”

And here Natz's bread and salt have also been completed.

The middle-aged witch and Ansas were eating.

"It tastes good. The sorceress said.

Ansas nodded and said, "It is a gift for the most distinguished guests." ”

Then Ansas looked at Erica's steamed cake and asked, "What is this?"

"Steamed cakes. ”

"It doesn't look like it's for a distinguished guest. ”

"Well, the whole family can eat together. ”

"Sure enough, it's the style of Aries. ”

The middle-aged sorceress interrupted Ansas and said, "You have to taste it to find out." ”

"Yes, yes, you can rest assured. I don't have partiality, even if I have a bias. You just have to say that Erica wins, and we're one-on-one. When the time comes, we will have to wait for the Sage of Light. You can't even doubt the Sage. ”

Anzas said, but he was dispelling the middle-aged witch's suspicions about him.

The middle-aged sorceress was a little relieved.

Then, she picked up Erica's steamed cake and took a bite.

"Wow. ”

She couldn't help but exclaim. Originally, I thought it was a simple taste, that is, the boring taste of the cake with a little saltiness, but in fact, it tasted like a variety of aromas, which is the flavor of special flavor salt. Of course, it's not just the salt, it's the fluffy texture of the steamed cake itself. Even more surprising.

However, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"It would be better if it wasn't restricted. ”

She could feel that if meat and other ingredients were added to the steamed cake, it would be truly perfect. As it is now, it is only limited in the future play.

At this time, Ansas also tasted a bite of steamed cakes.

"It's very special and fluffy. But it's completely different from bread. The taste, especially the aroma, is appetizing. However, it still seems to be insufficient. ”

He narrowed his eyes.

The witch was the first to say, "I'm rooting for Erica." It's not because it's biased, but because I think it's a little unfair. The taste of this dish could have been even better. But you are limited and become less than perfect. ”

Natz and Erica looked at Anzas. If he supports Natz. It is necessary to wait for the arrival of the Sage of Light.

Anzas hesitated, and began to think.

After a while. He finally spoke.

"I think it's Erica too. ”

The middle-aged sorceress couldn't help but be a little surprised, and Anzas's decision was very unexpected.

"I thought about it. First of all, this bread with salt is really good, but more because of its peculiarity. And this steamed cake tastes good, and it can be played. A dish that has reached the extreme, and a dish that still has room for development. I think it's better to choose a dish that has a future. ”

Anzas looked at Natz.

Natz, however, felt that there seemed to be something else in Anzas's words.

Finally, Ansas said, "It's not just the food, it's the people. I think that even if I persist, the end result will be nothing more than the arrival of the Sage of Light. That future is still unknown. Perhaps, you will lose the same. Of course, there is also a possibility that you will win. But so what? You can't go on. Even if you want to win Ante Scorpio, you don't have much hope. As for the rest of the road, I'm afraid you won't have to go. So, I think, with Erica, I wanted to see how far she could go. ”

"I see. Natz said.

On his face, he was very gloomy.

It's not that you're disgraced because you've lost.

I felt it again, that feeling of helplessness.

Why did he come to such a competition, isn't it just to prove it for Libra? It still turned out to be a failure. Libra has limitations, and seasonings have huge limitations. There is no peculiar smell, it is this limitation that makes Ansas give up on himself.

He felt gloomy, not because of himself, but because of Libra.

Seasoning is a special kind of preservation in food, and the addition of seasoning can make food delicious. However, it also makes food and deliciousness more difficult to define. Is the food that becomes delicious because of seasonings the ability of wizards or seasonings? Libra wizards have always been considered the strongest assistants. Yes, it's an auxiliary.

Even some aristocratic ladies will buy seasonings developed by Libra specifically.

As soon as these seasonings are added to the food, the food becomes a delicacy.

As a result, these noble ladies with no level have become extremely clever wizards.

It is with this technique that Libra makes a lot of money.

Libra also has the idea that as long as the seasoning technology is developed, all the people in the world will become the strongest wizards.

Once, there was a man who was disgusted with this practice and fled with the secret technique of molecular cooking.

"I'm looking for my own level, my real strength. ”

The person who said this is none other than the traitor of Libra and the current head of Taurus in Spain, Ferran Elbly.

And now, Natz can't help but think of it.

"Are we really wrong?"

Thinking like this, Natz finally sighed. As a result, I became more and more worried about the future of Libra.

At this time, Erica spoke.

"I know what you're worried about. Seasonings and food are indeed indistinguishable. Is it cheating to make food delicious with seasonings? Is it a wizard's strength? ”

Natz was stunned and a little cramped.

"But why think about this? We're wizards, and all we have to do is make delicious food, and who invented it, who made it, what kind of technology it is, that's just a trivial matter. The most important thing for a wizard is to be able to eat delicious food. You can enjoy the delicious food. Because of the seasoning, many people who were originally weak can make more delicious food, so that people in this world can eat more delicious food, isn't this enough?"

Natz froze.

He never thought of it.

Because all he saw were aristocratic ladies, people who didn't know how to cook at all, who cheated by using seasonings to increase their value. That's why he has contradictory thoughts about seasonings in his heart. On the one hand, want to prove the seasoning. On the other hand, I feel that this is wrong.

However, at this moment, he felt relieved.

A joy that had never been felt before was born from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you. ”

Natz thanked Erica sincerely.

Ansas looked at Natz and couldn't help but smile.

Natz's knot was untied, and he felt happy.

"If you have some leisure, let's have a good time. Secretly tell you that the left bank is very unhappy, and the right bank has a lot of interesting places. Let's sneak over. ”

The middle-aged sorceress glared at Ansas again: "That kind of other party, you have to go alone, don't take bad children." ”

Natz smiled and said, "I still prefer the scenery on the Left Bank. Come on, you guys. ”

"Those who win become the scenery, and those who lose can only become the ones who see the scenery. Ansas sighed and looked at Erica's boat, already laden with ingredients, heading down the river towards Notre Dame. (To be continued......)
