Chive and egg fried rice?
At first, Sicia refused. Although she had never heard of this kind of food, she disliked eggs very much because no matter how she cooked them, she felt they had a fishy smell. Of course, if it was made by a food wizard, she could choose another one.
It's a different matter. But the head maid Mana can tell at a glance that she is an ordinary aunt, and she cannot be as good as a gourmet wizard.
Most importantly, she saw a whole pot of oil used to make shredded eggs in the kitchen, and she felt even more disgusted.
She has not liked eating oily food since she was a child. She always felt that the oil had a raw smell. The raw smell and the fishy smell, the two smells she hated most were actually combined together, which made her resist both physically and mentally.
.
If it weren't for the enthusiasm of the head maid Mana, she would have turned around and left at this time.
However, no matter how enthusiastic the maid Mana was, she didn't want to eat fried rice with chives and eggs. She was already thinking about how to reject the invitation of the maid Mana in a tactful and harmless way.
Maybe "I'm full" is a more appropriate excuse?
However, before Sisia could find the right moment to say her refusal, the head maid Mana had already placed a porcelain plate filled with golden rice grains in front of Sisia with a smile.
Smelling the alluring aroma, looking at the thin egg shreds wrapped around the long rice, and the green color of the chives, Xicia, who originally thought about rejecting it, felt this familiar feeling for the second time today -
The mouth and tongue produce fluid.
The last time I had cream of mushroom soup.
"Hurry up and try it. I brought you a spoon. Originally, it was best to use chopsticks to eat this chive and egg fried rice, but chopsticks are difficult to learn. It took me a long time to learn how to use them, so it's better to use a spoon.
." Maid Mana sat opposite Xicia and said with a smile.
What are chopsticks? This doubt flashed through Xicia's mind, but she didn't ask out loud because all her thoughts were attracted by a plate of egg fried rice at this time.
How about giving it a try? It smells pretty good, maybe it actually tastes good?
It's really not delicious, so I won't even try it.
Thinking of this, in the expectant eyes of the head maid Mana, Sisia couldn't help but stretched out her hand, picked up the spoon tremblingly, and scooped it into the golden mountain of rice.
Put a small spoonful into your mouth and chew it gently into your throat.
Sisia was stunned for a moment.
So...so fragrant!
I thought it was raw, fishy, ​​and greasy before, but when I actually tasted it, it tasted dry and fragrant. Moreover, every grain of rice was covered with egg shreds, making it very satisfying to chew.
There was no fishy smell at all...perhaps this body made her taste buds less sensitive? This seems good.
No longer smelling fishy, ​​Xixia began to put spoonful after spoonful into her mouth. The more she chewed, the more flavorful it became, and her expression became filled with satisfaction unconsciously.
This tastes a bit like hot salty cheese poured on black barley. But compared to the combination of cheese and black barley, this one is looser and not too greasy or salty. Although in comparison, she still prefers it to be relatively light.
Cream of Mushroom Soup, but this chive and egg fried rice definitely tastes no worse than cream of mushroom soup.
Its unique taste experience even surpasses cream of mushroom soup.
"Is it okay?" Mana, the head maid, looked at Xicia's expression and saw that she didn't hate the taste of egg fried rice.
"I was originally worried that you couldn't eat chives, and I was thinking about making you a plate of egg fried rice without chives later, but since you can eat chives, it's no problem."
Xixia: "It turns out that this green vegetable is chives. The taste is indeed a bit strange, but when eaten with shredded eggs, it is very harmonious."
Maid Mana: "According to Mr. Jon, chives can suppress the eggy smell and make the taste better."
"It turns out that it neutralizes the fishy smell." Xixia suddenly realized, no wonder she didn't taste any fishy smell at all.
Talking or making loud chewing noises while eating is quite impolite according to the etiquette of the worshipers. Xisiya is a well-educated model lady and has always followed these etiquettes in the past.
But at this moment, facing the kind smile of the head maid of Mana, Xicia completely ignored the etiquette of worshipers.
There are not many worshipers left, so it is ridiculous to hold these old-fashioned rules as commandments.
"Maid Maid Mana, can I ask you a question?"
Mana nodded happily: "Of course. Also, Miss Xicia can just call me aunt. The title of head maid sounds so unfamiliar."
"Okay." Xicia smiled and nodded: "I just want to ask, is this chive and egg fried rice a specialty here?"
The head maid Mana covered her mouth and laughed: "I used to be asked this question in real life, but I didn't expect that I can't escape it in the wilderness of dreams."
"This is not a specialty of the Wilderness of Dreams, but a food from Mr. Jon's hometown. Speaking of which, I'm not the best at making egg fried rice. I'm at least third in the manor."
"The best one is Mr. Jon, and the second best one is Master Pat..."
Sisia was surprised: "Angel can also cook?"
Mana, the head maid: "It's not the young master, it's the eldest master. The young master has actually learned to make egg fried rice, but for some reason, the food always has a strange taste. Sometimes it's delicious, and sometimes it's not.
generally."
"On the other hand, the eldest young master has always doted on the young master. He knew that the young master loved to eat the egg fried rice made by Mr. Qiaoen, so the eldest young master specially learned the chive and egg fried rice and made it specially for the young master. The eldest young master's cooking skills
It’s very high, and some other ingredients are often added for decoration, which not only does not destroy the taste, but makes it more fragrant and delicious, which I can’t do anyway.”
A glimmer of understanding arose in Xixia's heart. It seemed that Angel had an older brother. Moreover, the relationship was quite good.
"Since Jon does the best job, why doesn't Jon do it for Angel? Instead, Angel's brother does it?"
"Well, it's because of Mr. Jon..." Maid Mana was just finishing her long words when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, a voice came from outside: "Because Teacher Jon's hands are more suitable for playing the piano or doing academic research. It is really suitable for making egg fried rice."
Such a waste."
"It's the young master." The moment she heard the voice, Mana's eyes lit up and she looked towards the door.
Sure enough, Angel walked in after a while.
Mana was very happy to see Angel, but Sicia frowned, as if she had thought of something. With a cold glance, the originally harmonious atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became stiff.
Before Mana realized the change in the atmosphere, she heard Angel say: "Good day, Mana, the maid."
"Good day." Mana replied calmly.
"Miss Sisia and I have something to discuss. Could you please help the maid Mana make us two cups of tea?"
Mana naturally understood that Angel had a private matter to discuss, and nodded without hesitation: "Of course, please wait a moment, Master and Miss Sisia."
Mana bowed gently to the two of them, and then slowly stepped back.
Angel came to Xicia: "How is it? Do you think the egg fried rice is delicious?"
However, Xicia answered the question incorrectly: "Maid Mana is a good person."
Angel: "So?"
Sisia: "So I don't want to answer your question."
Angel looked at Sicia's serious expression and somehow understood what she meant.
She didn't want to see Angel, so she wanted to answer Angel's question in reverse. However, the egg fried rice was made by the head maid Mana. She thought the head maid Mana was a good person, and she didn't want to go against her conscience by telling Egg Fried Rice.
The fried rice didn't taste good, but she didn't want to answer that Angel said it tasted good, so she chose not to answer the question.
It’s a weird idea, but Angel feels that his guess is not wrong.
As for why Xixia didn't want to see him...it became clear from Xixia's question.
Sisia: "You can locate my location, and do you know when I enter the Wilderness of Dreams?"
Although the words were a question, Sicia said these words in a firm and contemptuous tone. Obviously, she believed that she was being watched by Angel, and she was naturally unhappy.
Angel originally wanted to find a reason to fool him, but after thinking about it, he finally said honestly: "I have mastered a power in the Wilderness of Dreams - the Gate of Dreams. This power has become more prosperous due to the presence of other people here.
At the same time, I can also use this power to mark specific people. When a specific person enters, the power will remind me."
"The specific people I marked include the ancestral spirits of the Savage Cave, the leader of the Savage Cave, my mentor... and some people who I think need special treatment, including you."
Xicia was quite unhappy at first, but after hearing what Angel said, she was a little shocked.
Power?! Can the power of this world be controlled by humans? Why do you want to talk to her about this? Can you talk to her about such important things?
Angel seemed to see through Sisia's thoughts and chuckled: "I am not the only one who has power, and my power is the most convenient. I can locate people at any time, and I can also change the position people enter according to my wishes."
"However, if there is no important matter, I will not use my power at will."
Sisia took a deep look at Angel. She was quite satisfied with Angel's confession. At least, it diluted her previous discomfort of feeling being watched.
Sisia: "Then why do I need to be treated special?"
