There is a Restaurant That Connects to Another World

Looking at King Arthur's graceful movements and afterimages, Chu Shen and Lili had no doubt that this guy would eat five bowls in a row.

Gilgamesh on the side wanted to laugh, but then thought that he seemed to be doing the same thing just now... and then fell silent.It's just that watching other people eat is not an interesting thing, and they eat so deliciously...

"You just seemed to say that the world here is the future world?"

"It's not the same, Gilgamesh, do you also want to ask the future Uruk?" Chu Shen wondered.

As a king, of course he would be a little concerned about the future of his territory, which is human nature.Not to mention other people, if Chu Shen had the opportunity to know his future, he would definitely ask about it, but it is a pity that this opportunity does not exist at all...

"Well, I'm a little curious."

"Lily, come on, I don't even know what it is."

"I don't know too well..." Lily was a little embarrassed, although she knew a lot, but now it seems that she is not so sure: "Let me think about it, the modern Uruk should be Mesopotamia, That is, the territory of modern Iraq..."

In Iraq, Chu Shen broke out in a cold sweat. The situation in Iraq was too bad to see.

"Is Iraq a country?" Gilgamesh continued to ask.

"It is a country, but the strength of this country is very weak. Since the 80s in the last world, there have been wars of all sizes. Until recently, after the Lighthouse country withdrew its troops from Iraq, it may have gotten better. But overall, it is still a country. It's quite a small country, after all other people's armies can come in and out at will..." Lily was also a little scared, after all Gilgamesh was a king.

If he gets very excited after hearing this, and slaps the table and says that he is going to Iraq to see something, then he will be in trouble...

Fortunately, the scene that the two worried about did not appear.He seemed very calm, just nodded: "How many years have passed?"

"Around five years."

"5000 years... I will not live forever, so it is normal even if the country is destroyed. After all, human civilization and society have undergone many changes over the years. From this I can see that the place you are in should be It is a very peaceful and developed country. It is full of ingredients, utensils, and various materials that I have never seen before."

He was unexpectedly calm, but soon he let out a sigh.

"If only I could live forever like a god..."

"Eternal life..."

Chu Shen suddenly thought that in that world, Gilgamesh also seemed to go to the underworld because of the pursuit of immortality. In the end, the fairy grass that could live forever was eaten by a snake... and then Gilgamesh had seen through everything, rational Accept it all now.As for him now, it must be unacceptable.After all, there were still gods in the era he lived in. As a human body, he could not obtain immortality like gods.

"Eternal life is not a good thing, is it? If your kingdom finds out that their so-called king is not even a human being, wouldn't it fear you?"

King Arthur suddenly interjected. From the perspective of others, it really makes sense.

"Oh... that's right, but as long as you can continue to manage the country, what will the people think? Does that make any sense? Does every job you do require the people to think about right and wrong? Isn't that right in itself?"

Chapter 19 19. Two Kings Gathering on the Way of Kings

Gilgamesh's words are actually very reasonable. After all, in a country, smart people are a minority, and stupid people are a majority after all.This is a social truth, as if most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few.So there is no need to listen to everyone's opinion.

Chu Shen nodded, and before he could speak, King Arthur put down his chopsticks: "No, as a king, isn't it necessary to consider the opinions of the people in order to maintain the country? In other words, the king was born for the people. "

King Arthur's point of view is also very reasonable, but she has done too much. It is not appropriate to weigh the pros and cons of everything. It is precisely because of this that she is called ignorant of people's hearts. .

"No, the king allowed it, and the king admitted it. I don't need to consider the opinions of the people. This is my style, because there are many lazy, ignorant, and stupid people among the people. It would be a waste of time to think about it. So everything Just follow your own ideas, anyway, even if the people change batch after batch, it won’t solve any problems.”

Both of their arguments make sense.Chu Shen suddenly seemed vacillating. After thinking about it, this seems to be the inertia of the people. It is too easy to be incited and change their minds. So the development of the country does not need these people to point fingers, right?

"No, the king exists to protect the people."

King Arthur was an out-and-out knight, and so was Camelot back then.While facing internal and external disputes, this ignorant King Arthur worked hard to calculate every decision and every battle.But in the end, what he got in exchange was the evaluation of "do not understand people's hearts".

"Hmph...so childish." Gilgamesh looked disdainful, he didn't seem to have discovered King Arthur's true gender: "Too naive, what can such a king do? King Arthur...hehe..."

Such ridicule, even King Arthur, who has always been very good-tempered, couldn't bear it.

"What about you? You still want to pursue eternal life. Your country has only history after so many years, but mine still remains!"

"Is that due to you? If I can live forever, I have the confidence to let the glory of Gilgamesh shine on the entire earth! My kingdom will last forever and will never die!"

Gilgamesh's self-confidence surprised King Arthur, and she remembered what she said when she drew the sword in the stone.

Is it enough to stop living as a human being?Will the prophecy I have seen come true?Why not change it?Why make those prophecies a nightmare?You'll never know until you try.

"King Arthur, you don't understand people's hearts..." She softly uttered this sentence that was circulated among the people, with complicated emotions.In front of this person, it seems that being a king is just a very simple matter. She can't understand the other party's path, but... is she really doing it for the people?

"what?"

"It seems that I really don't understand..." King Arthur shook his head: "Forget it, what's the point of arguing about such a thing? Anyway, no kingdom can resist the power of time. When I am in power, I just try to do my best .As for now, let’s eat with peace of mind.”

King Arthur was struggling with food again, and Gilgamesh also smiled slightly: "This kind of free and easy is what a king should have. Chu Shen, you still refuse my invitation?"

"Ah."

"It's a pity, you would have had inexhaustible treasures of gold and silver."

"But for me, living as a chef is enough. I am not demanding, and I am content."

"Hmph... the bracelet I gave you last time, is it enough?"

"Enough." Although Chu Shen hasn't exchanged it for money, this dish doesn't cost much...

"Then take your leave, and look forward to your next meal."

"Welcome again." Chu Shen never thought that there would be a day when he would say this to the King of Heroes, but the King of Heroes in this era is still young and has his own ideas.But he didn't get to the point of enmity with the gods. At this time, he was quite easy to get along with. If it was Jin Shining, who became a heroic spirit, Chu Shen really couldn't bear that kind of violent personality.

And this King Arthur, she is also very young.At this time, she should not have encountered so many incidents, and she is still a decent king.

"Hey... Chu Shen, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"

"What... what?" Chu Shen felt a little embarrassed, and looked at King Arthur's emerald green pupils for a moment, and he became even more shy.

"No way..." Lily seemed a little surprised: "I finally understand, you are a royal chef!"

The moment he heard the word Wang Chef, King Arthur was a little puzzled: "The chef of the kingdom?"

"That's not what it means, the so-called chef Wang..."

"Wait a minute, Lily, stop talking."

Chu Shen would rather speak for himself. He has no other hobbies. He occasionally watches cartoons and plays games. Of course he likes this sad King Arthur very much.Although it can't reach the point of declaring King Arthur my wife loudly, the feeling is not much worse.This is like the feeling of a groupie seeing their idol with their own eyes, a little excited and a little at a loss.

"what?"

"Well...it's nothing, I just like you very much." Chu Shen declared.

"Eh?"

"It's not men's liking for women, but admiration. I think your life is quite rough, so I like your character very much."

"Oh..." King Arthur seemed to have figured it out, and the flash of panic disappeared: "You like King Arthur in your history, right? I am King Arthur from another world, what this lady said... parallel world coming?"

Chu Shen suddenly didn't know what to say. In fact, King Arthur thought it was pretty good...

"Probably so. In short, King Arthur, you just stick to your own heart. Gilgamesh's words are certainly reasonable, but different countries have different situations and different eras need to face different problems, so the means of governing the country It is also completely different. This needs to be judged by the king himself, but it must not be done overnight. There may be mistakes in his own path, but it is enough to leave all these things to future generations to evaluate. You know, in the history of our dynasty, there have been There have been many fatuous emperors, and there have been many strange things, such as the emperor who likes to be a carpenter, the emperor who likes to paint, and the emperor who is obsessed with beauties in the harem. But these emperors are still themselves. As for the evaluation of future generations, you don’t need to care. Because that’s not you What you can do, after all, you can’t protect Camelot forever, so even if you fail, you don’t need to blame yourself too much, that’s all.”

ps: I don’t know why the time was set to July, I said why can’t it be uploaded!

Chapter 20 20. Preserved Egg Mixed with Tofu

Chu Shen's argument is actually very simple, and he still loves it, so I hope this King Arthur can live a better life, even if she is no longer the upright and kind King Arthur in that world, is no longer the strongest heroic spirit saber, and no longer longs for the Holy Grail to change Watching everything, not even meeting Shirou Emiya.It's all worth it, as long as she can spend this life in peace, isn't it worth it?At least Chu Shen thought it was worth it.

"Thank you for your warning..."

The education received by modern people is different from that of that era. It is impossible for ordinary people to do such a long speech.So King Arthur still needs to digest it. If it is easily changed because of these few words, it may not be the real King Arthur who is loved by everyone.

"This is not a warning, it's just a little personal opinion."

King Arthur smiled, didn't say much, and continued to fight with the food.

Although she often interrupted her conversation, this was Lily Tim's third bowl of rice. Every time she stopped to speak, she would only speak after finishing the words in the bowl.

The slightly spicy taste brought by chili fried pork, the seemingly greasy pork belly, and the oil on the two ingredients seem to be the best combination to increase the taste of rice.

And another plate of tofu mixed with preserved eggs. For King Arthur, this weird combination of ingredients is really strange.The black thing has a slightly strange taste, while the white thing is very tender and smooth. The two ingredients blend together, which looks messy and breaks when you pinch it.But in fact, special sauces are indispensable between the fusion of the two ingredients.

The beany smell of tofu and the alkaline taste of preserved eggs require special means to prepare them to get in touch with these unfavorable flavors.

Tofu needs to be soaked in water, and it will get old if soaked for too long.The alkaline taste of preserved eggs needs vinegar to neutralize, which is probably the so-called acid-base balance.In addition to vinegar, it is ginger juice.

Vinegar and ginger juice can bring out the umami of the ingredients, while preserved eggs are the heavier ingredients, while tofu has a lighter taste, so the fusion of the two ingredients is still a balance.

So Chu Shen didn't care about the plate arrangement at all, but just smashed the two ingredients and mixed them together, so it looked a bit bad.

But this is a home cooking restaurant, not a big hotel that pays too much attention to presentation.In addition, there were no side dishes such as coriander, so Chu Shen adopted the simplest and most brutal method.The disadvantage of this method is that the black preserved egg and white tofu are mixed together, which is not very good-looking, but this is also the simplest balance of the two flavors.Just like the acid-base balance of vinegar and preserved eggs, cooking is about balance. This is a way of cooking that conforms to Chu Shen's philosophy.

In fact, if conditions allow, you can also add crushed green peppers and peanuts, which is also a good way to enhance the flavor, but Chu Shen did not do it, because the fried pork with peppers still needs a lot of green peppers...

If it's a professional looking at it, they will definitely think that Chu Shen is a wild way.

Chu Shen could only laugh and say that he did not take the usual path. Anyway, as a chef, he should of course have a method and method of his own exploration. It is meaningless to simply learn from other people's methods.

"This dish...I find it hard to describe."

"What's the matter?" Chu Shen, who was playing with his mobile phone, raised his head. Although he was quite satisfied to see King Arthur eating so happily, it would be even better if he could hear her praise. No one would dislike him. Too many compliments?

"This dish?"

"Tofu mixed with preserved eggs is its name, the black ones are preserved eggs, and the white ones are tofu."

"The taste of preserved eggs is a bit weird..." King Arthur dipped a little, and immediately showed an indescribable expression. This feeling is like she saw a plate of beautiful dishes, and after eating it, she found that it tasted exactly the same as the Starry Sky Pie. .

"But this tofu is quite tender and smooth."

A small amount of tofu melted in the mouth, and the flavors of the two ingredients were quite independent. She picked some black and white ones again, and this time it entered her mouth. Fragrant and fresh, the taste of the soup also oozes from the two ingredients, and the aftertaste is endless.Even without using any force in the throat, the dish slid down the esophagus into the stomach, and the ice-cold food was refreshing.And after eating a lot of oil bibimbap with chili fried meat, this cold dish also attracted a warm welcome from the stomach, it seems to be made to relieve the greasy.

"This feeling is like seeing a Stargazing Pie, but after eating it, it tastes even better than the dish made by my previous chef."

"This is the victory of the times..." Chu Shen has emphasized this sentence more than once. If King Arthur invites him to be a chef, he will be very troubled.After all, he really liked King Arthur very much, otherwise he wouldn't have served Gilgamesh with only one dish and two with her.

"It's so interesting, I suddenly feel that the first half of my life may be a bit wasted..."

"Ahem, stop making trouble."

"Just kidding." King Arthur smiled like a child. For her, eating so carelessly may be the simplest pastime and relaxation. After all, as a king, people are always watching.

"But these dishes are all my masterpieces."
