After a long silence, Aaron asked Anna the same question he had asked himself:

"Is this your extraordinary ability?"

"Of course not." Anna put down the soup pot she was holding, wiped the sweat from her forehead with her hands, blinked her watery eyes, and asked: "Strange, why do you want to imitate me?

”

Miss Anna's expression at this time even looked a little cute and innocent, but the soup in the pot next to her looked a bit scary, which made Aaron understand that this guy was definitely not a natural idiot - in this case

Hidden beneath the lovely appearance of the maid lady is clearly a black heart like a piece of wine-filled chocolate, with an intoxicating and dangerous sweetness.

"Aaron, drink quickly!"

Anna pushed the soup pot towards Aaron and said with a smile.

Aaron looked down at the soup pot in front of him.

To be honest, he was able to make spicy soup into hell water because of his "Melancholy Kitchen" ability. If he didn't have extraordinary abilities, he wouldn't be able to use such normal ingredients to make such san-worthy food. So here's the problem.

Okay, how did Anna in front of her use the mediocre ingredients in the kitchen to cook such a terrifying soup?

"How on earth did this soup become like this?"

Aaron picked up a spoon and stirred the soup pot, wanting to know exactly what ingredients she used - but after a brief stir, Aaron realized that he probably couldn't recognize these unrecognizable ingredients.

He frowned and asked, "Did you do it on purpose or accidentally?"

"On purpose!" Miss Anna blinked, and then replied with a proud look on her face: "Isn't that what your 'Call of Cthulhu' thing is like?"

Aaron: "..."

Is this like shooting yourself in the foot?

Then, despite Anna's continued urging, Aaron finally scooped up the dark, bubbling soup with the spoon in his hand.

He looked at the silver key that seemed to reach straight to hell with slightly trembling eyes.

Say... maybe it not only looks similar to the hot and spicy soup he cooked in "Melancholy Kitchen", but it also completes a subtle imitation in terms of taste? Maybe it just looks a little darker, but in fact

Is it very delicious?

After all, Anna is a maid from Duke Edwards' mansion.

A maid in a dignified Duke's palace shouldn't have such a big shortcoming as "not knowing how to cook", right?

Aaron comforted himself with this thought, raised the spoon in his hand, closed his eyes, and swallowed the soup into his mouth.

Then, an unimaginable taste exploded on the tip of his tongue, and a deep bitterness filled his mouth. It continued, and then a mixture of sweet, salty, bitter and spicy tastes rushed to appear. Aaron even felt that his consciousness was momentarily interrupted.

And this brief interruption also caused him to lose control of the spoon in his hand and dropped it on the table.

The evil god's gaze did not make Aaron lose consciousness, but the black soup cooked by Anna did it.

However, Anna didn't seem to notice Aaron's gaffe. She blinked and asked expectantly:

"How was it?"

Does she... really not know what this pot of "poisonous soup" tastes like?

Aaron's mouth twitched slightly, and he said with a high emotional intelligence: "The taste is very layered."

"Really? Then I have to try it too!"

Anna was obviously happy. She also picked up a spoon and seemed to want to taste her masterpiece.

Seeing this scene, Aaron quickly stopped her action: "Miss Anna, how about I treat you to dinner!"

"Huh?" Anna frowned, put away the sincere smile on her face, and asked: "Why?"

"Of course it's because I want to enjoy your masterpiece slowly! It tastes so good that I can't help but have the idea of ​​having it for myself!" Aaron opened his mouth and told nonsense that neither he nor Anna would believe. "

Moreover, I think having lunch with a beauty like you requires some sense of ceremony."

Anna said with a smile: "Keep talking, especially the part about the big beauty, expand more."

"Anyway, can you honor me and go to the appointment, beautiful Miss Anna?"

"Are you going to invite me on a date?"

Anna tilted her head, showing a somewhat unpredictable expression.

After pondering for a long time, she suddenly stretched out a finger:

"Okay, I know there is a good store nearby, let's go there."

……

Surprisingly, the store recommended by Anna, who was born in the Duke's Palace, is not a very high-end place. Judging from the style and style of the decoration, it is not even as good as the Hollingsworth Restaurant where Major Taylor treated the guests to dinner.

This is a roadside restaurant called "Red Leaf House". The customers who come here are also ordinary working-class families, and the food on the menu is affordable food that anyone can afford.

"The barbecue in this restaurant is well controlled and the meat quality is pretty good."

Anna led Aaron into Hongye House while introducing the reasons why she recommended this small restaurant. It was already a little past dinner time, and there were not many guests in Hongye House. The proprietress of Hongye House, who still had the charm of Hongye House, saw Anna.

, said hello with some surprise: "Little Anna, long time no see. Yo, who is this?"

The boss lady’s loud voice was laced with a hint of ridicule.

Aaron was about to introduce himself to her, but at this moment, Anna took his arm and said with a smile:

"This is my date, Aunt Mandy."

"Oh! Our little Anna has grown up and even knows how to bring men to the Red Leaf House!"

"Oh, I'll be embarrassed if you say that." Anna blushed, then winked at the proprietress Mandy, "A family set meal and two beers."

"No problem." The proprietress Mandy clapped her hands, then raised her voice and shouted to the busy owner of Red Leaf House: "Damn it, remember to cut two more pieces of meat for little Anna!"

"Got it."

Compared to the fussy boss lady, the slightly silent boss rolled his eyes, but his hands did not stop handling the meat.

It can be seen that Anna is very familiar with the owner and the wife of this small shop.

She took Aaron to the corner of the shop and sat down, explaining as she walked:

"This was my father's favorite shop, and he was a regular customer here. He felt that the last thing he should do as a member of the Duke's Palace was to stay in that empty and cold manor forever. There is no point in being isolated from the world.

, Human beings are social animals, and even nobles cannot exist independently of the empire and society."

"There is a gulf-like rift between the lives of aristocrats and the lives of non-aristocratic people, which gives the aristocrats the illusion that they are superior to others... My father thinks this is wrong, so he always goes into such small shops and sees with his own eyes

Looking at the reality of the world, enjoying the breath of fireworks in the world. At the same time, he will try his best to spread his kindness and try to help everyone he meets."

"He feels that only in this way can he be blessed by luck."

Speaking of this, Anna paused for a moment, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and said with some nostalgia:
Chapter completed!
