Food conquers the world

Chapter 15 Mushroom Fresh Fish Soup

The injury on Su Ge's back looked terrible, but it didn't hurt his muscles and bones. With Mia's careful care, he could get out of bed and walk around in a few days.

On the first day he got out of bed, he helped Mrs. Huo Sen wash her clothes with water spells, which also showed his status as a mage.

The next day he repaired the wheels of the cart of the shopkeeper Rhodes who happened to pass by the door of Mrs. Hawson's yard and happened to have broken wheels.

On the third day he helped Etta dig a cartload of potatoes.

Day [-]...

Day [-]...

This person's body is obviously not in good shape, and he has to be supported to walk, but he is still using magic to help people do what he can.

Many villagers who have been helped think so, and they are very moved. After a long time, people in the village respect this magician who came outside.

Zou Kai also noticed this change. He found that Su Ge spent a third of his time to gain the approval of the villagers. He sighed in his heart that it is good to know magic, and practiced the only spell he knew more diligently.

After practicing more times, Zou Kai also discovered some tricks. For example, he can cast spells without holding the copper coin, but just leave it alone, but the place where the ice cubes condense can only be next to the copper coin.

Zou Kai has been figuring out how far away the place where the ice cubes gather is the farthest away from the copper coins, but before he figured out the limit distance, he discovered another thing, that is, he can point at a certain place with a copper coin and say a spell , and then the ice cubes will condense in that place.

After many times of practice, Zou Kai found that this skill is very useful, and in order to develop its practical use, Zou Kai came to the river.

There is a small river flowing outside the village of Woliji. The river is very shallow, and the deepest part only reaches Zou Kai's waist. There are only some small fish and shrimps in this small river.

Zou Kai hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and Xiao has thought about these small fish and shrimps for a long time. Fortunately, he didn't find a fishing net at Mrs. Huo Sen's house, otherwise he would have jumped into the river to fish.

At this time, Zou Kai had mastered the skill of dropping ice cubes out of thin air, and ran to experiment happily.

His idea is very simple, to freeze the fish by making ice cubes, and he only needs to pick up the ice cubes that finally float to the surface to harvest small fish.

This matter is easy to think about and difficult to sit up, because it takes time to recite the spell, and the fish swimming in the water during this time may not be in their original position long ago, which is a test of the spell-caster's speaking speed and prediction ability.

It was quite difficult in the early stage, but Zou Kai got some tricks after trying a few times. That afternoon, he returned to Mrs. Huo Sen's house with two or three palm-sized fish.

At this moment, Maier also came, and he rushed over with a basket in his hand, and when he saw Zou Kai happily opened the basket to show him: "Teacher, this is the mushroom I picked up at the edge of the World Forest! After it rained, the World Forest There are a lot of mushrooms growing out of it, is there any way to make the mushrooms delicious?"

Zou Kai thought of the fish he had just caught, and nodded immediately: "Of course! Come on, kill the fish for me."

As soon as he heard that he could learn new dishes again, Maier was very excited and immediately went to kill the fish.Zou Kai took the mushrooms that Maier brought, opened them and looked at them, and found that he didn't know the species, but the taste of the mushrooms was not far from the same, so it shouldn't be strange to use it as a side dish.

Considering that there is a patient and an old man in his family, and there are a few fish that are not enough for him to eat alone, Zou Kai decided to make fresh fish soup.

The method of fresh fish soup and bone soup is not far away. Put the freshly slaughtered live fish and ginger, spring onion and mushrooms into the pot, first boil on high heat and then turn to low heat to simmer.

When Maier was killing the fish, Su Ge came over to ask if he needed any help, and Zou Kai waved his hand and said, "It's none of your business, you go and rest first."

Su Ge touched his nose and left.

The pot of fresh fish soup had been stewed for an hour. Zou Kai saw that the stew was almost done, so he lifted the lid of the pot and sprinkled salt on it, letting Mai Ersheng out of the pot.

The result of Zou Kai's hard work in the afternoon was only three fish, and Su Ge noticed when it was served. He found that Zou Kai gave the largest fish to Mrs. Huo Sen and the smallest to him, and then he and Mel shared one equally.

Seeing Zou Kai divide a fish into two parts, Su Ge quickly waved his hand: "No, you eat my piece, and it's fine for me and Maier to share a fish."

Zou Kai raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "Am I that kind of person to grab food with patients?"

Su Ge smiled, but did not speak.After Zou Kai said something, he felt that he was not addicted, took a sip of soup and continued: "I said you too, you started helping people everywhere before you recovered, don't you feel tired and panic?"

"It's okay, I know spells." Su Ge smiled, "Those are just a matter of effort."

Maier also echoed: "Yes, yes, many things are very simple for people who know magic!"

Zou Kai knew that the child of Maier had an unusually persistent admiration for people who could spell, and he also respected Mrs. Huo Sen, but he didn't know that the relationship between the Maier family and Mrs. Huo Sen was so good, why didn't he learn magic?

Zou Kai didn't ask this question, it's none of his business after all, and if he answered that Maier's physique is not suitable for learning spells, it would still poke Maier's sore spot.

Hearing Maier's praise, Su Ge just laughed, but Zou Kai learned magic these days, and found that every time he used a spell, his body would feel a little tired, and he could also feel the decrease of magic power in his body.

This is the same as the blue bar in playing games. Casting spells requires magic power, use it a little less, and it will slowly recover if you don't use it.And he can clearly feel that the magic power in his body is now linked to his body's exhaustion.If the physical strength and magic power are abundant, the physical strength will also be abundant. If the magic power in the body is scarce, the whole person will be as weak as if he has been exhausted.

So Su Ge was lying when he said that it was just a little effort. Every time he used his power, he would become weaker, but he was already very weak, so it was not obvious.

Zou Kai did not comment on his lying behavior, but said: "I just want to remind you that when you help others, don't cause trouble for others. Mrs. Huo Sen cares about you very much."

Su Ge was silent for a moment, looked up at Mrs. Huo Sen, and said seriously: "I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Mrs. Huo Sen smiled, looking at Su Ge as if looking at a very comforting junior, "Just pay attention to your body and don't be too tired."

Su Ge also bowed apologetically: "Thank you."

The dinner started after the few conversations before the meal. Perhaps because of the effect of the previous few sentences, Su Ge treated the meal very solemnly, even holding the spoon very properly.

He took a sip of fish soup first. He also drank a lot of soup in the past few days, all of which were brought to him by the girl named Mia. He also knew that the soup tasted good, so he thought it was the same tonight. He noticed a difference the moment he drank the first spoonful.

The bone soup he drank a few days ago was considered fresh, he thought it was the freshest soup, but today's fish soup is several times fresher than the bone soup, it is a kind of soup that makes people want to swallow their tongues The umami goes down.

With such a delicious soup, how delicious is the fish?

After taking a sip of the soup, Su Ge tasted the fish again. The taste of the fish was unsatisfactory, not unpalatable, but against the background of such a delicious soup, it seemed to have no taste at all, which made people lose their appetite.

He suddenly felt that the purpose of Zou Kai's division of fish is actually this. Fish is not tasty in the first place, so it's okay to eat less.

Zou Kai's eyes were on Su Ge when he was drinking soup. Because of his occupation, he habitually looked at that person every time he ate something he made, to see if he liked it or not.

When Su Ge drank it, he saw his eyes light up, and then his eyes softened as if he remembered something beautiful.Zou Kai knew at a glance that he liked to drink. Although it didn't show on his face, he was a little smug in his heart.

Mrs. Huo Sen also took a sip of the soup, her love was directly shown on her face, first she narrowed her eyes exaggeratedly, and then praised: "Kai, the food you make is getting better and better!"

Zou Kai laughed: "You like me to cook you better."

"I'm really looking forward to it." Mrs. Huo Sen sighed, picked up a spoon and started to eat.

But Su Ge seemed to have just recovered, and suddenly asked, "Kai, did you do this?"

"You only know now?" Zou Kai was surprised. He was really surprised. He had been cooking for a few days, and this person only reacted now?

"Cough, I thought it was Mia..." Su Ge coughed in embarrassment, then muttered something in a low voice, then raised his head and asked Zou Kai: "You mean you will make other food?"

"That's natural." Zou Kai smiled immodestly, and continued to eat. Su Ge also lowered his head and drank the fish soup, his face looked thoughtful in the dim candlelight.

The meal was finished quickly, and Maier took the initiative to take over the work of washing the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and went home. Mrs. Huo Sen had nothing to do, so she went back to her room to rest early.Although it was completely dark, Zou Kai knew that it was still early, about midnight, and he would never be able to sleep at this point, and he had nothing to do, so he had to get used to the routine in the village, lying on the bed and brewing slowly. drowsiness.

Mrs. Huo Sen's house has only two rooms, Zou Kai and Mrs. Huo Sen have always been one.That day, Su Ge was carried to Mrs. Huo Sen and put on Zou Kai's bed. Zou Kai had to find a few chairs in the living room and put them together to make a simple cot.

This small bed is very uncomfortable to sleep in. Zou Kai hasn't slept well in the past few days. Maybe it's because he's used to it, or maybe it's because he consumed too much mana in catching fish today.

Maybe I can sleep well today...

Sighing like this, Zou Kai slowly fell asleep——

"Squeak-"

"Kay, are you asleep?"

The sudden sound of opening the door and the deliberately lowered shout, these two voices were very small, it could be heard that the person who opened the door was very careful, but it still made Zou Kai, who was a little sleepy just now, very upset.

"You haven't slept yet." It was Su Ge's voice, and his footsteps were getting closer, "You don't seem to be from this village. I asked, and you are also from the outside. It seems that you are interested in food and food. The attitude of the facilities in the village, you should come from a bustling place, is it Plains or San Via? In places like that, even commoners don’t go to bed so early.”

These few words successfully dispelled Zou Kai's lack of drowsiness. He sat up unhappily, looked at Su Ge's inconspicuous shadow in the dark, and asked in a low voice, "What do you want to say?"
