"Really?" Erika was thrilled to hear that there were such ingredients as peppercorns and chili peppers, not only because she could make mapo tofu, but also because they could also make many special dishes. Without chili peppers, Sichuan cuisine would almost be non-existent. Needless to say, the unique taste of Sichuan pepper is incomparably rare.

Looking at Erica's excited appearance, Tamara was both happy and worried, happy that she could find such an ingredient, and worried that the ingredient she found might not satisfy Erica. It would be bad if it was just empty joy after the worst of all.

So Tamara said, "Calm down, I've just been tricked with that kind of ingredient, so I have an impression, and I don't know if it's suitable or not." I'll go find that guy, you guys wait here for now. ”

"I'll go with you, hurry up, Erica doesn't have a lot of time. The final against Ice Eye is coming up tonight. Vera said, pulling Tamara out the door.

When the two of them were gone, Erica finally became calmer, and when she looked back, she found that Alice was not eating tofu, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, isn't it delicious?"

"No, Erica, I want to ask, is it hard to be a wizard?" Alice asked nervously.

Erica herself is a halfway monk who is just getting started, so it's hard to answer her questions. So Erica could only ask, "Does Alice also want to be a wizard?"

"Well, a little. Alice replied.

"Then I'll teach you. Come, I'll teach you the basics of knife work. Ellie caravanated Alice to the board and chose a small kitchen knife. Tamara is a girl after all, and the kitchen knives in the 'Sweet Papaya' kitchen are all small, and Tamara's shop is a papaya shop, and the small kitchen knife can also be used directly to cut papaya.

But Alice was so short that she couldn't reach it on tiptoe in front of the board, and in an instant Alice looked like she was about to cry.

Although Erica couldn't help but laugh on the spot, she quickly got a small stool for Alice with a face on the surface.

Holding Alice on the stool, Alice also symbolically struggled and said, "I don't want you to hug me, I can walk up by myself." ”

"Alright, alright. Give it a try. Erica chose a small, lightweight kitchen knife and handed it to Alice.

Alice was a little excited, and immediately held the handle of the kitchen knife tightly, and was about to experiment.

Erica immediately stopped her and said, "Don't hold the handle of the knife like this, it's too tight, and the force should be moderate." Otherwise, you can easily overexert yourself and hurt your hand. ”

"Oh. Alice was a little puzzled when she heard this, "I heard my father say that you should hold your sword in moderation and not too hard. ”

"That's right, swordsmanship and swordsmanship are figured out, there are many swordsmanship masters who are wizards, and there are also many wizards who have practiced very powerful swordsmanship. Erica said, she wasn't lying, there were indeed many masters of swordsmanship in this world, and they were also masters of cooking. The dean of San Sebastian College in Spain is a holy swordsman himself, and his sword work is also a must, and he is known as the strongest sword. And in order to fight against his one-sword stream, he has a swordsmanship speed and specially worships Gemini to learn the secret skills of knife work, which is known as the strongest two-sword stream.

Alice was about to try her hand at the kitchen knife, but Erica stopped her again.

"You also have a problem with your left hand. ”

Alice was puzzled: "I'm just chopping vegetables with my right hand, why do I have a problem with my left hand?"

"Because your fingers are so spread. ”

"But my hands are too small to hold these dishes without dispersion. Alice said.

"But it's dangerous. You're going to have to bend your fingers back. Erica said earnestly.

Alice turned her head and asked curiously, "What are you going to do when you curl your fingers back?"

Erica patted her head, knowing that it was useless to teach like this, so she explained, "You have to learn how to do cat hands." ”

"Cat hands?" Alice wondered even more, "Is it the same as a cat's tongue?"

Erica shook her head and moved slightly closer to Alice to prevent her from falling off the stool. Then Alice placed her hand on Alice's tiny left hand and bent the fingers inward.

"Unlike a cat's tongue, a cat's tongue refers to food that is afraid of being hot. And the cat's hand is the posture of chopping vegetables. You see that the fingers are bent towards the palm of the hand, it looks like a cat's paws. In this way, if you put your hand on the top of the dish, it will not be easy for you to cut it with your own kitchen knife. ”

"Really. Alice said in surprise, and was very satisfied with the small pile of vegetables that she cut for a while.

So Alice turned her upper body, bent her fingers towards her palms, and raised them to her head.

"Is that so? ”

Erica couldn't help but be stunned, and shouted in her heart that she was so cute.

"What's wrong, Erica? Alice couldn't help but be a little worried, the first time she cut vegetables, she would have to be taught a lesson.

"No, no, I just think Alice was ...... way she looked just now"

"Isn't that weird? I think so too. But I've only mimicked the habits of the cat people a little. Alice explained.

"Cat people, what are they?" Erica had obtained some memories of the void, so she also knew that there were cat people in this world, and they were orcs of the subhuman race. But Erica didn't know what they were like.

Alice recalled: "I only met them when I was very young, they were a kind of orcs, with cat ears and cat tails, and nothing else was too special, maybe I was too young to remember." ”

Erica's otaku heart burned, and she asked very excitedly, "Then do they bring meows when they talk?"

"Meow?"

"Yes, exactly. ”

"I don't know what to say, I didn't talk to them, they were in a cage at the time. It was captured and given as a slave to His Majesty, and I saw it at a banquet held by His Majesty. ”

"That's right. Erica sighed, there is always a gap between fantasy and reality, even if there are really cat ears, but reality is not so beautiful. Although there is no war on the continent now, it does not mean that everything is good.

Seeing Erica's lost expression, Alice couldn't help but comfort: "Maybe, maybe they can really meow." ”

"What would it be called?"

"Perhaps?" Alice put down the kitchen knife, the fingers of both hands bent towards the palms of her hands, as if to make a fist, but very relaxed. Then she put both small fists to her ears and let out a red cry.

"Meow. ”

"That's it!" Just as Erika felt so cute, suddenly a figure outside the door rushed in like a hungry wolf pounced, slammed the stool next to the table, and pounced straight at Alice.

The figure hugged Alice and was about to rub his face against Alice.

"Miss Tamara, have you found that ingredient?"

Erica couldn't help but ask, and this figure was none other than Tamara.

Tamara finally came to her senses and said, "No, I didn't find the ingredients, but I did bring in the person who has the ingredients." ”

"Let go of me, let go of me! Alice exclaimed in alarm.

Erica looked out the door, and there was a man besides Vera.

That man was none other than Changeable Scott.
