Food, drink and merrymaking in another world

For several days, people in the city were talking about the slums.According to the investigation by the city guard, the fire in the slum area was caused by someone accidentally lighting a pile of firewood on the side while cooking. Three people died and seven people were slightly injured. extinguished, causing no greater damage.It is said that the three people who died were the family of three who caused the fire. Later investigations found that it was a mother with two children, a boy and a girl. Because the fire was too big, their bodies had been charred.Amid the sighs of the crowd, they were buried in a cemetery outside the city.

Because of the fire incident in the slums, fire prevention knowledge was publicized everywhere in the city, and night patrols were strengthened.The city lord Gal took the opportunity to ask nobles and merchants to "raise donations" to build a shelter, put the injured seven people and homeless wanderers in, and rectified the slums, and arrested some thieves and thieves .For a while, the law and order in the city improved like never before.

Linda didn't have time to pay attention to these things. When he heard that the family of three died, he felt a "thump" in his heart. Thinking of the plots that were often seen in previous novels, he was not in a hurry.

A few days after the fire, Quez finally appeared.Seeing Linda's indifferent expression, he smiled in admiration.Pulling Linda to the study room, ignoring Nazgray who was the same as the spirit behind him, he briefly told the story.

Sure enough, this was all planned by Quez. Somehow, he persuaded the mother and son, and then found three dummies to hide. After finding the trace of the killer, he would lure him to do it again. When he was not paying attention, he quietly set a fire, causing the illusion that the three people were burned to death.Seeing that the three died, the killer was afraid of fraud, so he stayed in the city for a few more days to observe secretly. Seeing that the bodies were buried and there was no trace of the three on the street, he believed it to be true.Coupled with the increase in patrols in the city, he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he finally returned to Wangcheng to report to his employer. Quez didn't go home until he was sure that he had really left Torway City.

Quez did not explain in detail, and Linda also knew his usual character, knew that he was unwilling to speak, and did not force him, but asked, "Where are the mother and child now?" Quez said, "I have already Put it in a safe place, in case the nobleman and his wife are not willing to give up and send someone to look at it, let them hide for a while until the news passes. Don’t worry, I have left enough money for them.” According to his arrangement Sure enough, Linda was relieved, and asked again: "Where are the residents of the burned houses in the slums? Are they okay? I heard that there are still seven injured people. Don't hurt others just because you saved these three people." Quez nodded: "Don't worry, there were no people living in the house next to them. When I set fire to it, I deliberately knocked out all the neighbors and put them in other places. As for the seven injured people, it was time to fight the fire. It was accidentally bumped into, and now it has been put into the shelter by Gal, so it’s not a big problem. And it’s a good thing that the slums can be rectified this time.” He giggled, and Linda glared at him: “Fortunately, there is nothing else. Accident, otherwise you and I are both sinners. Well, you have worked hard this time, Aunt Annie has made a lot of new desserts, and I just brought some in the kitchen today, go and try them." Quez nodded and opened the door out.

Linda sat down and rubbed his eyes. Fortunately, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. When the nobleman and his wife in the royal city believed that they were dead and would not send anyone, the mother and son would be completely safe.If it wasn't for Quez, the matter this time might not be resolved so quickly, and I still have to correct my meddling in the future.He sighed, and said to Nazgray: "Am I too soft-hearted? If Quez hadn't reminded me, I would have almost threatened you too." Nazgray knelt down, stroked his hair, shook his head and said, " It's not your fault, I don't care about other people, as long as you are fine." Linda buried her face in her palm, rubbed her face vigorously, regained her spirits, stood up and pulled Nazgray: "Go Let's try Aunt Annie's handicraft too, don't let them steal it all." Nazgray smiled and was dragged away together.He prefers such an energetic Linda, and as for the person who hurt him, he will definitely not let it go!

Under Linda's suggestion, Annie really made a more delicious dessert. Every time she made a new pattern, she showed it to Linda for a taste, and asked him to give his opinion, and then improve it by herself.Linda didn't particularly like desserts, but the girls in the store liked them very much. As soon as Annie appeared, they would immediately pay attention to the food she brought.However, because they were at work, they couldn't sneak away easily, so they had to endure it, and as soon as Linda appeared, they immediately stared at him with sad eyes.Linda was startled at first, thinking that something was wrong, but after learning about the situation, they announced in a funny way that they would leave the dessert Anne brought for them, and then they praised Linda for being a good boss with smiles on their faces.

After tasting Anne's test product, Linda gave some simple suggestions, and left the rest to the girls in the store, anyway, their tongues are better adapted to desserts than themselves.

On this day, Annie brought the croissants and five-flavored fruit cakes she tried. Linda picked up one to have a look, and saw that the croissants imitated the horn shape of a horned cow, which was more curved and larger than the croissants on the earth. one chip.After taking a sip, it tasted quite good, but he always felt that there was a lack of flavor.

After thinking about it for a day, Linda finally remembered what was missing.The next day, I took some milk out of the ring, put it in a closed jar and let Nazgray help me shake it vigorously, then opened the jar and kept stirring, and when there was coagulation in the milk, I rinsed it with cold water Remove impurities, then use a filter and a clean cloth to absorb excess water, and leave it for half an hour.After some water comes out, filter it out, then continue to stir, repeat until the water is basically filtered, add some salt, stir well, and dry it, it is butter.

Since it needs to be stirred constantly, and there is not much butter that can be extracted from a catty of milk, it is very difficult for Linda to do this, and only one piece can be extracted with the help of Nazgray.He brought the butter to Annie and taught her how to make it. Then he cut a small piece and heated it to soften it. He added egg whites, sugar and water and spread it on the bread. After tasting it, Annie's eyes lit up.With Linda's help, she made butter bread, and after tasting it, she exclaimed that it was delicious.Then she asked Linda with some embarrassment if she could teach this method to people in her hometown. Linda nodded. Anyway, he also had this intention. Now that Annie is willing to help him spread it, it is naturally very good.

After adding butter, the desserts were even more delicious, and Anne's craftsmanship became more and more exquisite. Linda suggested that she simply open a dessert shop.It was just a joke at first, but Annie was very tempted. After going home and discussing with Jayne, she decided to change the tailor shop.Linda admired their courage very much, but the female shop assistants in the store were so happy that they were eager to help with suggestions.

So people found that the tailor shop next to Shiweixian was closed, and after a few days it was changed into a dessert shop called "Sweetheart", the owner of which was the former tailor shop owner.The store has been simply decorated, selling all kinds of beautiful and fragrant bread cakes and biscuits.Someone curiously bought a piece of strawberry cake that looked very beautiful and delicious, and was immediately overwhelmed by the rich taste, so he immediately paid for a whole piece and took it home.Everyone who passes by this store can smell the sweet and greasy fragrance wafting from the store, and even one or two wild cats are attracted to wander in front of the store.Because it is close to the food, people who eat snacks are often attracted by the smell to buy a piece of cake or biscuit to taste. Suddenly, the reputation and business are very good.

Annie is happy every day now, the dessert shop is really open.Now I am making much more money than when I opened a tailor shop, and my family's life is better than before.With Linda's consent, she taught the method of preserving milk and making butter that Linda taught her to the whole village, which immediately improved the quality of life in the village. Even the sales of milk no longer worried about it, and it became a well-known milk village.

She is very grateful to Linda, so every time the store closes, she will bring a specially reserved dessert for her to eat, and the milk provided by her family to Linda is much cheaper than the market price.However, because they often eat sweets, Annie's family can't help but gain weight. It doesn't matter to Annie and Jayne. Anyway, they are middle-aged, and being fat is a blessing.Only Lu Jie was a little unhappy. The little girl didn't care about these things at first. Once when she was quarreling with other friends, she was ridiculed for being fat. Only then did she realize that she was almost unable to wear beautiful skirts.She immediately decided to go on a diet to lose weight, but Annie and Jayne were so anxious that they couldn't get the little girl to eat more food in various ways, so they had to come to Linda. They felt that Linda was so capable, there must be someone Method.

Linda was taken aback when he heard the news. He didn't expect to have this side effect of opening a dessert shop.He asked Lu Jie about the situation in a funny way, and only then did he know the whole story.In fact, Lu Jie is not too fat now, but because of eating too many desserts, her chin and waist are a bit fleshy.

Linda thought for a while, and called Ruibi aside: "Would you like to do something for my brother?" Ruibi nodded, "Brother, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you." "Okay, I will teach you and Lu Jie a set of gymnastics, and I will do it every morning before eating, and once around two o'clock in the afternoon, and I will persist for a long time, can it be done?"

Ruby looked at him: "Brother, what is gymnastics?" Linda slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot, you don't know this word." Doing exercises can strengthen your body and lose weight. Lu Jie has been complaining about being fat recently and wants to lose weight by dieting, which is not good for your body. So my brother plans to teach you this exercise and help Lu Jie exercise. To achieve the effect of losing weight, do you think it can be done?" Ruby patted her chest and said, "I'm a man, I can definitely do it! Brother, don't worry, I will definitely supervise Lu Jie to do gymnastics well."

Linda patted his head, then went to pull Lu Jie and said: "Lu Jie, you are still growing, you have to eat, if you get sick, you will be fine. Brother has a way to make you lose weight , but you have to promise me to eat on time." Lu Jie nodded hesitantly: "Okay, but brother, what can you do to make me thin? I promise you will eat on time, but you can't lie to me." Linda said: "Brother You always keep your word, now my brother will teach you and Ruby a set of gymnastics, just do it twice a day." Then he patiently explained again, and finally persuaded Lu Jie.

Taking the two children to the open space in the yard, Linda slowly taught them to do the radio gymnastics he did in school.Although the movement was simple, he also took a lot of effort to make the two children remember it.The movement of the three people was very loud, which naturally alarmed the others.Bikong and Aigurea, as well as Andy and Penny, who were taking turns off, watched them make various movements curiously. Andy found it amusing, and followed suit.

After teaching the two children and instructing them on the essentials, Linda wiped his sweat with a towel, only then did he realize that there were several people around him.Andy jumped over and asked: "What kind of dance is this? It's so interesting to watch." Linda smiled: "It's not a dance, it's gymnastics. It's a kind of exercise that can strengthen the body. Doing it often is very good for the body." Good." Andy grabbed his sleeve with great interest and said: "Can you teach me? When I came over just now, I only saw the back." Linda nodded: "No problem, wait for me to rest I'll teach you, if you have free time, you can do it together in the morning and once in the afternoon, it's very good for your health." Andy rolled his head happily.Bi Kong also came over and asked, "Can I learn it too?" Linda thought about it, and said, "Father, this exercise may be a bit difficult for you, why don't I teach you Tai Chi, which is more difficult for old people?" Appropriate." Bi Kong rubbed his hands and said, "What is Taijiquan? Boxing method? I can really learn it? Is it like a warrior?"

Linda shook her head: "It's not the kind of fighters. This is just for physical exercise, and it can't hit people. Get up early tomorrow morning, and I'll teach you, that's suitable for morning practice." Bi Kong agreed with satisfaction.Aigurea was unhappy, and leaned over and said, "I want to learn that boxing too!" Linda laughed and said, "No problem, let's practice in the yard tomorrow morning."

After resting for a while, Linda taught Andy and Penny to do gymnastics. Fortunately, the two of them understood well, especially Penny, probably because of her race, she learned it very quickly, and she really looked like she was dancing when she did these movements , very nice.

What Linda planned to teach Bikong and the others was a simple set of Taijiquan, which was still taught in physical education class when he was in college.Fortunately, this kind of simple Taijiquan can also achieve the effect of exercising the body, and the movements are relatively gentle, which is very suitable for teaching old people like Bi Kong.
