Chapter 67 Fish in Clear Soup
"How is that possible! I can't make the king of the dark cuisine world like fried fish..." The smell of fried fish appeared in Liya's mind, and she couldn't help but shivered.
"Huh? Aren't you humans only good at cooking fish?" the elf said in confusion. She had never seen any other dishes other than cooking fish.
"Well, they are them, I am me, what I want to make is clear soup fish. But I'm very curious, what food do you elves usually eat?"
It’s not that Riya can’t cook other foods. Although she was not a chef in a star-rated hotel in her previous life, she always cooks home-cooked dishes.
But the skillful woman couldn't cook without rice. The types of ingredients in another world were too different from those in the previous life - onions were regarded as the most unpopular fruit, and even potatoes were called "suffocating taro", which became one of the ingredients for alchemy poisons, and star anise was even more pitiful. The leaves were used to deworm, and the fruits were thrown away directly...
As for the soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, chicken essence, chili, etc. commonly used in the foodie empire, there is nothing! Even carrots are purple that look very dangerous, so tofu should be the best supplement for clear soup fish, so mushrooms can only be used instead.
"Ha! I will definitely take you to a starlight banquet if I have the chance in the future! The sweet lily of the valley nectar, the crispy Jina fruit, the beautiful Xinduoca...ah, and the sweet rice juice!" The melodious elf's words were as if singing an elegant poem. The elf closed his eyes slightly, and the rich banquet seemed to be right in front of him.
"Ahem, so you elves usually only eat vegetarian food?" The Waussus trout, which had become hard in the low temperature, was already warm and soft by the fire-type magic maid. Riya, who was scraping the tiny fish scales, did not notice Luna's intoxicating expression at all.
"Uh..." The elf who was suddenly interrupted from memory looked at Yin with anger, who was loosely tailed by Shucheng: "If it is not necessary, the elf will not kill animals."
"The elves are really worthy of being a race called the 'Son of Nature'!" Riya suddenly realized, and her understanding of the elves reached a higher level, and then she changed her mind: "By the way, how have you learned the Big 6 common language recently?"
Originally, when he heard Lea praise the elves, Luna still had a look of brows on her beautiful little face, but after hearing the second half of the question, her expression suddenly collapsed: "Oh! Why are you human language so difficult to learn! The sound is so weird! Why not... it is better for all of you humans to learn elves! Elf language is easy to learn!"
"Can you be a sister not be so naive? You must be lazy and not learning, right?" Lea skillfully cut two thin mouths near the gills and tail of the fish, and kept slapping the trout with her blade. A thin white line was slowly pulled out of the incision by her.
"Hey? Dear sister, what are you doing? What's the use of this white line pulled out?" Luna saw Leah's movements and tactfully changed the topic.
"Oh, this is the sideline of the fish. As long as the fish it makes is removed, there will be no fishy smell." Liya's words were said in human language. Lilith, who was watching carefully, hurriedly recorded it in her small notebook. The lady's rich knowledge made her admire her.
"?" Luna, who was originally the questioner, leaned slightly to her little head, looking unconscious.
Lea switched to the Elf Word again and asked gently, "Dear Sister Luna, how much did you understand what you said just now?"
"Uh...this...that..." the elf said embarrassedly: "Other would my dear sister say it again? The elf didn't hear it clearly just now..."
"Tsk~! I think you're just being lazy all the time, right?" Liya took over the elf's excuse without hesitation.
"Nonsense! The elf is recognized by everyone in the village as the 'most hardworking elf'! How could it be lazy!" Hearing Liya say that she was lazy, the elf's voice suddenly increased by octave.
"Huh? Do you have such a title?'The most hardworking elf'?"
"Of course! When the elves are in the village, they spend two full days practicing fighting every month. Everyone says that the elves are the most diligent elves!" Luna proudly held her small breasts.
"Ahem... So, only practicing for two days a month is the most diligent? Are you sure that everyone is not teasing you?" Riya said in a questioning tone while debugging the flames.
"How could it be teasing me? The tribe, who was called the 'the most hardworking elves' before, spent a whole day practicing fighting every month. The elves are twice as hardworking as her!"
"What do you usually do except practice fighting?" Liya finally stewed the clear soup fish on the stove, just wait until the time comes.
"In addition to practicing, we can also sing, dance, write poetry, hold banquets, perform sacrifices, celebrate festivals... Oh! So many!" Luna counted on her fingers.
"Oh! No wonder you have lived for more than 60 years and are so powerful..."
"Hehe~ the elf is very powerful, right? He is already a two-star ranger! I really envy Liya for you to have a talented sister like me!" The naive Luna thought Liya was praising her. If the elf also had a tail, her tail would have been almost rising to the sky at this moment.
"Oh! There is a saying that I don't know whether to say it or not." Seeing the elf's face dancing, Liya sighed helplessly.
"Tell me!" Luna looked like "just praise me" and sat on the small stool and twisted constantly.
"That's-" Liya stared at Luna's delicate little face with excitement, but she said: "The fish I made is really delicious!"
What she said in the end was words that were incompatible with each other, and her true thoughts were swallowed back at the last moment.
"Hey? Is that so? The elf is very picky!" The innocent elf was indeed easily diverted.
Looking at Luna in front of her with a happy look, Liya suddenly felt that this was actually quite good, and sometimes she didn't need to say it directly. As long as she could live happily, why bother caring about some things?
"Then let's wait and see!" Liya, who came to her senses, showed a relaxed smile.
...
"What are you doing in the kitchen again...the captain...the young lady? Why is it so fragrant?"
The unique fresh fragrance of clear soup fish is floating, and in the courtyard where snowflakes are flying, it seems to be gentle caressing from a lover, tempting people in the past.
Coincidentally, the guard team patrolling the courtyard this time was the one that was conquered by beef stewed with potatoes last time. Even after dinner, the soldiers still felt their stomachs constantly protesting under the temptation of the fragrance.
"I said captain, go and have a look!"
"Yes! Yes! Captain, go!"
"Captain, hurry up! This fragrance is so tempting!"
The opposite of last time was that the team members actually urged the captain in unison. This was because the captain used the excuse of "urination" and finally brought back half a pot of potato stewed beef for everyone. Although each person could only eat one bite, the strong flavor that had never tasted before made them savor for a week.
In the end, the whole pot was licked clean. If you took it to the market to buy it, basically everyone would think it was a new pot...
