Chapter 10 Spicy Hot Pot and Whiskey Sour
Anji was awakened by the sound of rain.
It was not yet dawn, and it was pitch black in front of me. She lay in the darkness, listening to the "ticking" sound of raindrops hitting the leaves. The rain was getting more and more urgent, like a natural variations. There is also the sound of the wind, the sound of the wind blowing through the woods, the sound of blowing through the houses, and a slight "squeak".
It seems that something has broken in the rain.
No, "squeak"?
The sound seems to be getting clearer and clearer.
An Ji was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the sound came from the table next to her.
She jumped up and groped to light the candle. She saw that the red flower egg was gradually cracking in the jumping candlelight.
Anji held her breath and felt a little nervous.
After all, in the magic world, it is possible to hatch anything from the egg.
As the last crack dispersed, with a "click", something opened the eggshell.
I. A furry one?!!
A dark blue creature that is as deep as a clear night sky and looks like a puppet cat. It has a pair of fox ears, and its eyes are clearer turquoise, like shiny gems. At the end of the long tail swaying left and right is a flame-shaped fluffy orange-yellow hair.
It deftly jumped out of the eggshell, squatted lazily on the desk, stretched out a fleshy claw and rubbed its eyes.
Help! So cute!!
Anji took a step forward gently.
It moved its ears, raised its head quickly, and tilted its little head.
"Squeak?"
Ah ah ah ah ah ah!
"How are you?" Anji said tentatively softly, "Can you understand what I'm saying?"
"Squeak." It straightened its head.
"A merchant found you in Keta Canyon and sent you to me. I think maybe we can be friends, right?"
After waiting for two or three seconds, it suddenly fell into Anji's arms. It put its claws on her shoulders and screamed excitedly.
Full of furry!!
While Anji was happily squirtling, in an office at the headquarters of the Jasmine Chamber of Commerce in Levi City--
"I heard that Miss Irene sent a recommendation for joining a Golden Jasmine member?"
Suddenly, a man's low and hoarse voice sounded in the darkness.
"I know what you want to ask. Yes, that's right," the woman's voice sounded in another corner, "No. 17 Baker Street."
"While I'm on the membership link this time, I must find a way..." The man's tone was eager.
"I don't need you to remind me, Hollov." "Don't you need me to remind you? Oh, I don't know who let that man go 18 years ago!"
"Shut up! That was an accident. You know the situation at that time..."
"Okay, I'm not here to recall the past with you," the man interrupted her carelessly. "You just need to remember that this time you must take the opportunity of the membership link to make a gap in the protection curse of that damn place!"
After a moment of silence, the man let out a sigh: "After chasing for 18 years, it has finally begun..."
In a burst of depressed but fanatical excitement, with a "pop", the candle on the desk was suddenly lit.
The faint warm candlelight gently shook the darkness in the corner. A woman with golden curly hair, charming blue eyes and full red lips gently opened her mouth in the light and shadow:
"18 years, I can't wait."
"Celine."
Moonlight Tavern——
Anji, who woke up, looked at all kinds of vegetables in shock: purple cabbage, broccoli, cabbage, kelp, and some plants she didn't know.
"You mean, you turned these out of the garden?" Anji withdrew her gaze, squatted down and asked.
"Squeak!"
Abu nodded his head crazily.
Because it looks more like a ragdoll cat, Anji decided to name it "Abu".
"That's awesome, Abu. I didn't have time to clean up the garden, and I didn't want to have a look." Anji rubbed its head with a smile, but suddenly saw that its hair suddenly exploded and circled around its tail.
"What's wrong? Don't you like to be touched on the head?" Anji laughed and stood up with her hands. "Okay, okay, okay, I know. Go and drink your milk. Eat obediently!"
After carrying Abu to drink milk, Anji looked at these vegetables with many kinds but not many kinds of vegetables and fell into thought.
Looking outside the window, which was still drizzling, Anji decided to have a big bowl of spicy hot pot in this cold autumn day!
Spicy hot pot must be supported by hot pot base. She cut a large piece of beef fat, slowly simmered the oil in the pot, fished out the butter residue and put it in a bottle, which can be used as a side dish later.
She grabbed a few pieces of butter residue and put it in her mouth. It was crispy and crispy. A little grease opened in her mouth, which made people couldn't help eating one piece after another.
Restrained the desire to continue eating, she fried the prepared green onions, ginger slices, pepper, fennel, nutmem, sugar, fire kiss fruit (a very spicy chili here" and other spices in butter.
The strong spicy smell filled the nasal cavity. Anji sneezed and swallowed secretly. Even Abu kept pulling Anji's pants.
After boiling the hot pot base, Anji separated the part to be used this time, and the rest was stored in the cellar at low temperature. She decided that she must find a time to have a spicy hot pot!
Back in the kitchen, Anji was ready to start making spicy hot pot soup. After boiling the green onion, ginger and garlic, add the freshly prepared hot pot base, stir-fry evenly and pour in warm water and milk. After boiling, take out the spice residue. A pot of hot, fresh, bubbly spicy hot pot is basically finished. It is hot enough to warm the heart and spicy to drive away the cold. Anji can't wait to share the cold autumn with tonight's diners. The healing is delicious!
After handling the vegetables brought back by Abu, Anji also prepared radishes and potatoes, and the meat adhered to the concept of "all". In addition to beef, sheep and pork, she also prepared giant-toothed rabbit meat and lobster meat. The cold knife fish meat was made into fish balls, and the shrimp meat was made into shrimp slippery.
Thinking of the Miller bullet noodles found in the Miller noodle shop before, which tasted like instant noodles, Anji held a big handful without hesitation.
She couldn't help being proud of herself while handling the ingredients.
It smells so good!
It's so rich!
It's so perfect!
It's simply a delicious food engraved into the soul!
At least two silver coins must be sold for this bowl!
While she was immersed in this joy, the holly bell rang.
She suddenly found that the rain had stopped at some point, and there was a beautiful rainbow across the golden sunset.
"My god of light! What kind of exciting but intoxicating taste is this? I dare say that I smelled it three kilometers away!"
"But, Licia, you came here directly through the speed shadow potion."
"Licia, Sarah! Welcome!" Anji said in surprise, "It's great for you to come today. I'm preparing spicy hot pot, which is one of my favorite delicacies. You must try it!"
"Anji, your pub looks great!" Licia stepped forward and hugged Anji. "We are ready for "Eat and Eat"."
Two large bowls full of spicy hot pot were served. A whole lobster was lying in the bowl, and the round fish balls floated in the red soup. Licia was a little rusty and turned it in with two thin wooden sticks, and more ingredients came out.
The beef is fat and tender with milk fragrance, the giant-toothed rabbit meat has a firm rebound, the cabbage absorbs the soup, the lobster meat cleverly combines the freshness of seafood with the mellowness of the oil in this dish, and the uniquely added elastic noodles. Of course, the best thing is this soup. The red and bright thick soup has a mellow meat fragrance, fresh from the ocean and self However, the sweetness, and the faint milky fragrance brought by the aftertaste.
Licia had to admit that this was the most enjoyable and hottest meal she had eaten during this time - she was already sweating profusely!
It's so spicy and delicious that I can't stop it at all!
Just when she and Sarah were finally so hot, Anji served two drinks.
"This is whiskey sour. Lemon juice and egg white are added to the whiskey. The taste is very suitable for drinking at this time."
Licia has great doubts about adding egg whites to the wine. She hesitantly picked up the cup, and the whiskey in the candlelight was like flowing gold.
"Licia, you must have a try! What a wonderful and interesting combination!" Sarah admired and drank half a small cup in one gulp.
"The entrance is like a flower elf dancing on the tip of the tongue, and the whole wine has a bright aroma," he wrote in the front page article of "Eating Non-stop" released later, "The more fragrant taste comes from egg white. Egg white! You can't imagine that it jumped out of its original mission (such as making bread, or that funless egg sandwich) and collided with whiskey with such an enthusiastic reaction. The oil of spicy hot pot and the freshness of whiskey wrapped in the mouth, as if the tone of the music changed.
