Otherworldly Pastry Chef

When Hei Xiao went to pick flowers and tidy up wild boars, Bai Guo was kneading dough seriously in the kitchen.The white dough in the large black pottery pot was kneaded very smooth by Ginkgo, and the fermentation powder Qing Chenzi gave him had a plant-specific aroma, so the surface of the pot also exuded this faint fragrance, which made Ginkgo hungry. My stomach felt more uncomfortable.

At this time, Hei Xiao came in from the outside, not only had two baskets of Sophora japonica flowers in his hand, but also an oiled paper bag.

"I'm sure you'll be starving until you finish cooking the buns. I bought rice cakes for you. There are orange fillings today. I don't know if you like them or not."

Bai Guo was really hungry, smelling the smell of rice cakes, she immediately stretched out her little hand to take the paper bag.There was still white flour left on his hand, but he didn't bother to wash it, and took out a walnut-sized oval rice cake from the paper bag, put it under his nose and smelled it.

"The taste is very fragrant, but it seems to have a little oily taste." Swallowing his saliva and taking a bite of the rice cake, a sweet taste spread directly in his mouth. There is not much orange filling in the middle, but it is enough to taste the orange. The taste is just that the sour taste that the orange should have is gone, and the rice cake outside is oiled, which makes the ginkgo fruit feel sweet and greasy after only one bite.

Seeing that Bai Guo frowned after taking a bite, Hei Xiao also frowned involuntarily: "Don't like it?"

Ginkgo put the remaining half of the rice cake into her mouth, but this time she didn't taste it carefully, but chewed it almost enough and swallowed it directly.

"I don't like it. It's too sweet, and it's filled with animal oil. It's a bit greasy. The orange taste is not sour. It's weird. It seems to have a lot of sugar. But it can still make you hungry."

Hei Xiao saw that Bai Guo wanted to take the second-best rice cake again, so he quickly reached out to stop it: "If you don't like it, don't eat it. You will lose your appetite."

Ginkgo smiled: "It doesn't matter. If the food is not delicious, just block its subtle taste. It's the same as anything if you eat it. And although this rice cake is sweet and greasy, it tastes very good. It feels soft and glutinous to me. I like it. It’s a big deal to make a pot of Sophora japonica tea. Not to mention it can relieve tiredness, but it can also clear away heat and cool blood. Do you have a teapot? Boil a pot of water and put the flowers directly into the cup, pour hot water and simmer for a while. "

In this orc world, there is no such thing as tea.At that time, people would brew sugar water and honey water to drink.But there is no special teapot for brewing. Fortunately, there are cups or bowls for making tea, and pots for boiling water.The two of them searched for a while, and the water and the big bowls for making tea were ready.

Water is boiling on the stove, so the dough should not be too close to the stove.Gingko ate two more pieces of rice cake, it was really too sweet and greasy, but luckily at this time, he had a little stomach, and he was also interested in dealing with Sophora japonica.

"Hey, don't do this, your fingers are so thick, such delicate work is not suitable for you at all. You should chop the pork leg into meat stuffing." Looking at the sophora japonica in the basket being disturbed by Hei Xiao When the petals are broken, they are directly crushed into mud. He loves these flowers very much.But I still feel emotional in my heart, it's hard for Hei Xiao to get so many complete flowers with his hands.If the old locust tree grandfather on Lieshen Mountain saw this scene, he would be so angry that he would drop his leaves!

This is the first time for Hei Xiao to drink water soaked in flowers. There is no honey or sugar. The little sweet nectar in the Sophora japonica flower does not have much impact on the taste in the water. On the contrary, the Sophora japonica flower itself has A slight bitter taste, combined with the special fragrance of flowers, has a unique flavor after a sip. Although it is slightly bitter, it is not annoying.

"I didn't expect that the water soaked in locust tree flowers would taste good. It's much better than plain water."

Ginkgo put down the big bowl, and the aroma of Sophora japonica tea filled his nose. The two mouthfuls just now diluted the sweetness of the rice cake in his mouth, which made his taste buds much more comfortable.

"These Sophora japonica flowers are just blooming but not yet in full bloom. The fragrance of the flowers at this time is not the strongest, but they can be used to make scented tea and eat, so that the fragrance can be retained in food or water. They can be picked and dried in the sun. Dried flowers, so that you can have delicious scented tea in winter. Many flowers are fine. My favorites are Sophora jasmine, Jasmine and Magnolia.” Unknowingly, he said a lot about himself, seeing Hei Xiao Staring at herself all the time, showing a helpless expression, Bai Guo realized that she was nagging again.He immediately covered his mouth, then pouted.

"I don't seem to be able to get rid of this problem for a while, what should I do?"

Hei Xiao sighed, and reached out to touch the top of Bai Guo's head: "Then don't go out for now, and I will accompany you to get used to it at home for a few days. You tell me everything you want to say, and then you will never go out again." I feel suffocated."

Bai Guo thought for a while, then nodded: "You are right. I will listen to you."

Hei Xiao smiled: "Are you so relieved of me? Are you not worried that I will be bad for you?"

Bai Guo picked up the tea bowl again: "With your ability, it's easy to kill me. You don't look stupid, how could you use such a stupid way to harm me. You also bought me rice cakes and returned them to me. I pick fruit and flowers. You're the first to get me anything I want. How can you be a bad man?"

"..." Hei Xiao felt that he had absolutely no way to communicate with this little idiot on such profound topics as "the world is dangerous".However, he really envied the world that Bai Guo lived in before. He was able to raise Bai Guo to such an innocent appearance. Although it was a bit silly, it was enough to prove that people in that world had a much cleaner heart, right?

"Well, it's still at home anyway, it doesn't matter what you tell me."

Bai Guo took another sip of herbal tea, and then narrowed her eyes: "Fortunately, I don't have any worries in the original world. The master will probably find out that I'm missing? I don't know if he will look for me. But to him, I'm just his caretaker." One of the many little demons, at most, the snacks I make make him like it more. It shouldn't be too sad. Hei Xiao, I have one thing to ask you."

Hei Xiao nodded: "You say."

"I have one hour of practice time every day, at least half an hour. During this time, I can't ask people to disturb, at least try not to be disturbed. Even when I am practicing, you can't talk to me, and you can't talk to me. Don't let other people get close to me. Is that okay?" Bai Guo blinked.

Hei Xiao replied: "Okay. It looks similar to absorbing mana. If you need mana potion, I can buy it for you."

Bai Guo didn't understand: "Ah? What is the magic potion?"

"It is a potion used to absorb and replenish the energy needed. Females rely on them to absorb mana, and males rely on them to absorb mana and use mana. Mana potions are very expensive, and they are extracted from mana plants and high-level monsters. But don't worry , I have the ability to earn enough money."

Bai Guo shook her head: "No need. I only need to absorb the aura between heaven and earth for cultivation. And I can feel that you all have aura, which is probably the magic power you mentioned. Yours is much richer than others. You still need to use external medicine to cultivate. This is not cost-effective and ruins natural communication. The book says that this is an act of seeking far away, which is not conducive to stabilizing the foundation. Wait a minute. I have here a method to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth , you can take it..."

Hei Xiao immediately stopped Bai Guo's movement to grab something.

"Gingguo. I'm very happy that you trust me, but I can't take something so important to you just because you trust me. Although I don't know what it is, it may not be very important to your world, but in our place, I Just hearing you say this makes me feel surprised and extremely precious. So you don’t need to give it to me. When we really understand and trust each other thoroughly, I may be able to accept such a frank gift from you.”

Bai Guo's idea is very simple, this method of absorbing spiritual energy is known to every monster in Lie Shen Shan.This is also the most basic skill for demon cultivation.But he was willing to show Hei Xiao not because it was not precious, but because he wanted to share it with Hei Xiao because of an inexplicable desire.He didn't know why, maybe he really said it.Hei Xiao is the first person who will pick whatever he wants for him, saying that if he wants the one in the east, he will never give her the one in the west.Or maybe he didn't like how those people isolated Hei Xiao, so he wanted to get closer to him.After all, a little demon who hasn't had much contact with people doesn't quite understand these strange emotions.

"All right. I'll listen to you."

It was the first time to eat meat buns made of locust tree flowers and pork. Hei Xiao ate a big pot in one go. Fortunately, Ginkgo made two whole big pots, so they still had more buns.

Ginkgo, who had eaten three big buns, leaned on the back of the chair and patted her bulging stomach contentedly. After belching a few times, she sighed, "This locust tree flower is really wonderful. Lost to the flowers that the pagoda tree blooms every year. Tomorrow, I will use sugarcane juice to make pagoda flower sauce by myself, and I will take advantage of the time to pick off the flowers on the tree and dry them into dried flowers to make scented tea. Fortunately, I came The season is just right, otherwise the flowering period of Sophora japonica would not be so long."

Hei Xiao hasn't eaten so comfortably and happily for a long time. The last time, it should be the stewed barbecue meat when he was celebrating at home alone when he won the first place in the 20-year-old coming-of-age competition.Come to think of it, five years have passed now.Today's Sophora japonica bun, although the fragrance of the flower is mostly covered by the smell of meat, you can still find the smell of Sophora japonica in the nose and taste buds.After the meat is fragrant, it is salty and the aftertaste is a umami taste that is difficult to describe in words.Unlike Sophora japonica soaked in water, although the weight of Sophora japonica in the buns is much larger, there is no bitterness at all.

"If you like, I'll pick all the flowers in a while. You can also go to the wild to collect more."

Bai Guo is not that greedy.

"You don't need to pick them all. They also have to bear fruit and seed, and then float to other places with the wind to take root and sprout. Even if you don't say these things, the flowers blooming on the trees can also make the air smell good. As long as you choose the right one It’s fine. And dried flowers can’t be steamed stuffed buns. The food made of this kind of flowers should be in season. But you still need to prepare more Sophora japonica sauce. You should also like it.”

I don't know if I like Hei Xiao or not, and I don't care.But when he saw that Bai Guo said that the eyes of these food were shining, and the whole person was full of vitality, he felt very happy.

"You have a good rest at home these few days. I'll see what you need and I'll prepare it for you. Your clothes are almost the same as ours, but when I look closely, the cloth is very different. Your clothes are still the same as ours. Don't wear it anymore. I'll buy some sets for you in a while."

Bai Guo looked at Hei Xiao gratefully: "Hei Xiao, you are so kind to me."

The movements of Hei Xiao's hands paused for a moment, and then he replied: "I will let you work hard for me after I settle you down!"

Such obvious duplicity, even a fool can understand it!Bai Guo snickered inwardly, the guy with no intentions showed it on his face.But he still didn't talk about it.

"Anyway, I promise you that I will do my housework well."

Hei Xiao stood up, and cleared away the bowls, chopsticks, plates...basins on the table.While stacking bowls, he said: "In a few days, the household will definitely arrange you to join the female collection team. When you go out to collect with those people, please remember not to say too much. But if they bully you because of me You, you have to tell me too."

Bai Guo nodded: "I only know you here. If someone bullies me, I will definitely tell you. But I won't care about women."

Hei Xiao looked at him: "What is a woman?"

Bai Guo looked surprised: "Isn't that right? The master said that the males of human beings are called men, and the females are called women? Oh, yes, you are called orcs here. The woman... the female is called a female orc?"

Hei Xiao realized that this was a problem that had to be resolved quickly.If there is miscommunication even in gender distinction, it would be embarrassing and easy to make people suspicious.

"You'd better tell me first what a woman is."

On the issue of men, women, females and males, the two once again talked about rabbits and leopards for a while, but because of the prerequisite that they are not from the same world, it is much easier to talk about these things than before.

In the end, both parties understood the meaning.There are no "women" in this world and the child is conceived by a female with the same body structure as a "man". Bai Guo didn't expect this, but she didn't think it was weird.Instead, he used the female demon as an example of appearance to tell Hei Xiao what a woman is, which surprised Hei Xiao.

"Why aren't you surprised?" After fully understanding, Hei Xiao was very curious about this.

Bai Guo rested her cheeks: "Why are you surprised? Fifty percent of the demons over there, whether female or male, can give birth to offspring. This mainly depends on the skills and the innate conditions of the ethnic group."

Hei Xiao frowned: "Then can you?"

Bai Guo nodded without thinking: "Yes. Why do you have this expression?"

Hei Xiao really couldn't control the smile on his face now.

"I said, why do you smell like a woman?"

Bai Guo looked at him: "What do you mean?"

Hei Xiao shook his head: "It's not interesting. I just think it's good. You don't need to clean up the dishes and I'll come. You go and see how the Westinghouse is going to be done, and I'll arrange it for you when you think about it."

Bai Guo didn't know how to be polite. In fact, he was frightened first, howled for a while while traveling through time and space, and used the wrong spell. He was really tired.Hear what Hei Xiao said.He offered a request: "Well... Hei Xiao, can I live with you today? I don't have the energy to clean up, and I'm so sleepy now."

Hei Xiao's hands shook slightly at that time, and then quickly put the plates and bowls into the sink.

"No problem. Then you go to bed first. I washed the dishes and went to buy clothes for you!"
