Did the tavern owner cook Chinese food today?

When queuing up, the sailors had the leisure to tease, and even made a secret bet on each other: for this new dish, which is red and yellow with some green, strange in appearance and good in smell, see if the taste will lose the chain in the end.

Even though there are many people who are not optimistic, the bowls for sharing meals are not missing.

Because Holly did enough, the cleaners who did the chores could also get the dishes.

For example, Aden, he couldn't understand those people who recognized the red object as a tomato and looked disgusted and heartbroken, as if they ripened the tomato, just like they ripened themselves.

"Why is such an unbelievable dish not directly poured into the sea, but served instead?!"

"Who is the cook today? If you dare to feed me pig food, I will fight him after getting off the boat!"

"Tomatoes are tainted and my life is incomplete."

——With words like this, I really feel that Aden feels that they become sailors, which is a kind of kindness to theatrical performers.

Although he also thinks that raw tomatoes are very delicious, but he should try it—the point is that he has no room to refuse.

It's only been three months since I've been on the Sienna, and Aden really likes it here.

As long as there is no special situation at sea, they have enough food reserves, and a part-time carpenter and cleaner like him can basically be full.

The team dragged and dragged like a rope, and presented their own lunches one by one in the order of their positions.

Aden probed his head, eagerly seeing the front of the line. The always serious helmsman just tasted it, then whispered a few words to the person presenting the dishes, and returned to his post.

Then the boatswain and sail master responded in the same way.But they just buried their heads in eating, and immediately parted ways in a gust of wind, for fear of what might happen to each other.

Everyone became more curious and impatient.After suffering and waiting, it was finally Aden's turn.When it was time to present the dishes to him, there was still some leftovers in the basin.

Can't wait to take a bite with a spoon, he chewed a few mouthfuls in a daze, then gobbled it up, ignoring the bread he held under his arm, wishing he could bury his head in the bowl.

Aden couldn't read a few words, so he couldn't do it like a sailor who had been a bard next to him. He had already started to compose poems for this dish and sang it loudly.

All he knew was that he had never eaten anything so wonderful and delicious.

Boiled tomatoes disperse their own taste into the eggs, and the fishy smell of the eggs disappears, and the rest is all its original taste.

I don't know what kind of magic is used to do it. This dish is not like a stew, much less like a soup, but it just has a lot of broth, and the taste is rich, and all the essence runs into this broth.

Among the sweet and sour, there is an indescribable oily aroma.

It is much more delicious than meat!

On the deck, all the people who got the tomato scrambled eggs were silent and buried in their hard work.

Some people who vowed to defend the dignity of Healthy Tomatoes were a little shaken.

"... Is it delicious?" Some of them couldn't help asking.

——But like a stone falling into the sea, there are few splashes, let alone any ups and downs in response.

Someone sneaked in and took the time to quickly answer: "It's not delicious!"

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

The harmony is one after another.

...It doesn't taste good, why are you still eating so vigorously? ! ! !

The man didn't believe in evil, so he decided to fight for the organization himself.

As a result, Three Seconds betrayed the Raw Tomato Organization and defended Ripe Tomatoes to the death.

Aden's ears "witnessed" this farce, and he could understand why the other people's answers were not good.

It is because it is too delicious, but there are rules on board.You must eat your own portion before you can add more food.

So you must be able to fool others, otherwise you may lose a mouthful of food.

At this time, a shadow passed over his head and sat beside him.

"Is it tasty?"

At first, Aden didn't pay much attention, and took two more bites. He didn't hear other people responding, and then realized that the voice was asking himself.

When he raised his head, he saw a pair of smiling green eyes.The boy looked about the same age as him, and his appearance was a little strange, but he was inexplicably handsome.

He quickly chewed the food in his mouth, swallowed it, and replied with some stuttering: "Ah, it's delicious... no, I mean, it's very delicious, very delicious!"

The boy grinned loudly, and Aden felt a little embarrassed, because his vocabulary was poor, and he really wanted to boast, but he didn't have the gorgeous words to describe it.

"Is it okay, are you used to it?" the boy asked again.

Aden nodded desperately and said, "Of course, I can eat this every day. It feels like this sweet and sour dish, I can eat it every day."

"Haha, no matter how delicious the food is, eating it all at once will make you tired. I don't think you have eaten a few bites of bread. You can try dipping the bread in some soup... Yes, it's like this."

Under the guidance of the black-haired boy in front of him, Aden once again experienced a different taste.

When the bread absorbs the soup and softens the dry and hard taste, the sweet and sour soup dissolves part of the richness and penetrates into the gaps; after another bite, there is an extra layer of wheat fragrance.

Soaking bread in soup is actually a very common practice, and it is a very common thing to do.

Especially in the difficult environment of living at sea, it is completely impossible to eat freshly baked, hot and soft bread.

What's more, depending on the position on the ship, the food distributed is also very different.For example, high positions such as captain, first mate, helmsman and bosun, etc., eat low-gluten bread almost every day one month before sailing at sea.

And they, living well the previous month, were able to share whole wheat bread.In special circumstances, only black bread can be distributed.

There's a saying on the Sienna called, "Why don't you eat the fresh-baked bread?"—which means wishful thinking.

Therefore, for the sake of their own teeth, most of them need to soak in bread soup before they can eat.

But the dish in front of him was different—it condensed all the essence. Although there was not much soup, Aden thought that he had to drink it directly to fully express his respect for this dish.

So he also shared this idea with the black-haired boy, who laughed directly this time.

"Food is classified as high or low, it's nothing more than the cost of cooking and the production process. As long as it tastes good, don't worry so much!" He heard the boy say.

Just between these few conversations, many people around had swept away the food on the plates like a whirlwind, and began to compete for the right to distribute the leftovers.

When Aden saw the person presenting the vegetables, he quickly scooped out some vegetables and sent people to the direction of the helmsman, boatswain and sailmaster respectively.

The others gradually changed from pushing and shoving to scolding each other.

"Do you have eyes? I came first!"

"You are not as tall as my legs, who can see you here?!"

"Hey, hey, don't stop me from taking the food if you are arguing...Which grandson snatched your grandpa and my spoon?"

"Damn it, you grab the spoon and put it back! What do you mean by taking it away? Are you eating the vegetables or the spoon?"

……

There was chaos on the deck, and the scene was uncontrollable. Everyone changed from grabbing food to grabbing spoons.It's like whoever gets the spoon will be able to "monopolize the power".

Aden was a little disappointed, because judging by the intensity, his participation was only a stepping stone, and there was not much food left in the bowl.

The black-haired boy next to him was rolling with laughter watching the spoon fight, took a break, then got up and walked away.Not long after, he came back with a red and green cooked tomato and egg, and a bowl of vegetable soup with a mushroom aroma.

"Where did you get it?" Aden was very surprised.

"The back kitchen." The young man put his index finger on his lips, implying that he should keep quiet, "This dish is called tomato scrambled eggs, promise, the soup is mushroom and cabbage soup, and there are some scrambled eggs in it."

Nodding with half understanding, Aden finally understood that the name of the original magic was "fry"... Wait, he suddenly realized something.

"Could it be that you are the one who makes tomato scrambled eggs, so you can work from the back kitchen...?"

The teenager answered easily and quickly: "Yes, my name is Holly."

"Aden, I'm Aden." He answered erratically because of a sense of unreality.Just looking at Hawley's appearance, almost everyone would think that he is a young man with outstanding talents, such as a magician or a swordsman apprentice.

But Hawley also has an inexplicable temperament that makes people believe that he is a chef.

Grabbing a bowl of shiitake mushroom and cabbage soup to suppress the shock, Aden took a sip. He... Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't mention it, there are too many surprises brought to him today, and each of them is touching.

He and Holly had dinner after watching the exciting battle, and Holly finished his own lunch and left him the other dishes and soup.

He was enjoying a rare moment of happiness, with a large shadow cast over his head, when Aden raised his eyes, he saw several big men surrounding him.

"Where did you get so much food?" One of them asked in a nasty voice.

Before Aden could speak, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched away the bowl containing tomato scrambled eggs.

He rushed forward, failed to take it back, and said angrily: "Give it back to me!"

Immediately afterwards, the mushroom and cabbage soup disappeared again. At the moment of snatching, the milky white soup was spilled on the deck, and part of the hot liquid smeared on Aden's pants.

"What are you doing? I gave these to Aden."

Aden felt a hand pull him back, and Hawley stood in front of him, questioning the men.

"Boy, I advise you not to meddle in your own business." The three big men knew that the black-haired boy was brought aboard by the captain, so they didn't do anything, they just warned.

"Since you gave it to him, it belongs to him. We didn't take anything from you, so let's get out of the way."

"Specially take leftovers from other people's mouths. Why, are you a group of hyenas or vultures? These are all eaten by humans, not rotting corpses."

Hawley's tone was calm, not like scolding, but as if explaining the facts.

The eyes of the burly man in the middle were stared straight at by the green pupils, and a chill ran down his back. The chill felt like he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, and the ferocious beast had already shown its fangs at him.

Faced with his unreasonable timidity, the strong man became angry from embarrassment, and mocked Aden: "You slept with him last night? It's really fast enough to favor you so much."

After all, he wanted to push the boy away and attack Aden.

It's a pity that he was stopped halfway, and Holly held his hand tightly, and another person beside him rushed up to Xiang Yu, who was tripped by Holly and fell to the ground.

But the last person took the first step, picked up Aden's collar, grabbed the latter's neck, and was about to punch him in the stomach.

Holly let go of his hand in an instant, pulled out the hilt, first slapped the hand off with the scabbard, and then hit the numb tendon behind the knee.

The strong man knelt down suddenly, and Aden was able to breathe, coughing with his face flushed.

There was a punch coming from behind, and Holly noticed it, but he didn't dodge it, and took the punch in the back of his waist.

At the same time, Alena's voice broke through the crowd: "Stop!"

She pushed aside a group of sailors and came to Holly's side.Without saying a word, he picked up the three strong men one by one.

"Self-fighting is prohibited on the ship. Have you fed this rule to the dogs? I advise you not to try to quibble, the bosun and so many companions present have seen it."

"Do you really think you are a pirate?!"

Alena's high-pitched voice was extremely oppressive, and the invisible coercion pervaded the entire deck, making many crew members dare not speak out, for fear of being implicated.

She was about to turn her head to look at Holly, one of the three, at this moment said in a low voice, "That kid is beating us."

The onlookers gasped and prayed for this guy in advance.

"Really?" Alena's voice became deeper, her tone was full of seriousness, and her eyes were full of disappointment and contempt.

"You take the initiative to provoke, and you can't scold a boy, so you do it; but you can't beat a boy, but you still feel wronged...Is it?"

There were titters all around.

"According to the rules, you must take off your underpants and tie yourself to the wooden mast to reflect for a day and a night.

"Death or survival depends on fate. If you survive, you must follow the rules on the ship; if you want to get out, get out!" Alaina said loudly, without any doubt.

Immediately, she clapped her hands and called the crew to strip the three of them clean and tie them to the bottom of the wooden mast.

It's really indecent in broad daylight.Holly blinked his hot eyes, and was surrounded by Bobby and Wilmer who rushed over.

The little skull hurriedly looked at his waist injury, but the master grabbed his shoulders, leaned over his ears, and said with a wicked smile: "You are smart enough to let Alena see you being beaten on purpose."

That's all, Hawley waved his hands, but the corners of his mouth reached to the ears.

Before leaving, Holly left a promise to Aden: "Wait, there will be better food tonight!"

The three people under the wooden mast obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.

They started swearing and kicking a few times, and then turned into whispers and bullying.

What kind of character does that kid come from, even the crew members are not counted, so they can be punished.

But slowly, as the sun goes down, things start to go wrong.

——They saw Chef Giovanni and the black-haired boy talking and laughing, and several pots of red things were brought out behind them.There are three wooden sticks on the deck, and there is firewood burning underneath. They put the pot on it and hang it, followed by a steady stream of sweet and sour aromas.

The three of them smelled a similar smell in the morning, it was the dish of ripe tomatoes.That said, today's dinner is...

Under the wooden mast, the deck was filled with joy and laughter. Everyone ate the food they cooked in the pot, with beer beside them, and occasionally sang in unison.

The smell of wine and tomatoes wafted across the sea, and one of the three finally broke down and couldn't help crying.

One infected the two, they sobbed softly, and were joked about by their sharp-eared companions.

I regret it, I really regret it.

It's fine to tie the mast, and you can kill them casually. Why should they be subjected to this kind of capital punishment?

Thinking that I can only eat bread once a day, and I don’t know what to eat tomorrow, but I can only look forward to it. I feel that life is worse than death, and I wish I could become the cow that was pulled to slaughter in the afternoon.

If they had learned earlier that the black-haired boy was a chef, how would they dare to provoke him!

Aden saw all this in his eyes and felt extremely comfortable.But he is still thanks to Holly today, and he has to study hard and become stronger, so that he can no longer be reduced to what he is today.

Thinking of this, he poured Holly a beer.

After thanking Aden with a smile, Holly turned his head and continued to chat with Giovanni, during which time he kept picking food for Wilmer.

"Your hot pot is really wonderful. Cook the bottom of the pot and prepare some dishes, so they can eat it by themselves. In the future, the celebration banquet will not have to be as troublesome as before. It is delicious and convenient, and everyone can enjoy it!" Giovanni's cheeks were flushed, and he kept praising Holly even though he was slightly drunk.

"Yeah, I can finally feel the joy of cooking by myself, and the food tastes a lot better."

Giovanni pushed away the sailor who poked his head away: "Go, go! What kind of cooking do you do? If you throw it in and scoop it up and cook it, what kind of cooking is it? If you can sprinkle some salt, you will be the chef? Brat!"

Everyone was so happy to see their teeth but not their eyes, the young man begged for mercy again and again, and finally he didn't forget to mutter: "I think this soup smells good on shoes."

Hawley was amused and speechless, because Giovanni followed suit and nodded.

However, the chef of the Sienna in front of him is indeed very capable.

At noon, because tomato scrambled eggs are a fresh dish, it attracted a lot of attention.But he had tasted the red wine stewed beef made by Giovanni, and he was really amazed.

The beef is soft and rotten, the sauce is mellow and thick, and it is paired with sticky potato cubes, which makes your index finger move.

He only has a little understanding of Western food, and learning is endless, so Hawley took advantage of Giovanni's slight drunkenness and asked, "Giovanni, how about I learn how to learn red wine stewed beef from you during this time? I have a high level of comprehension, and I guarantee that my learning will be stable and accurate."

On the opposite side with a big beard upturned, he turned his head and said to Bobby: "Your apprentice has a lot of mind and can become a master."

Then he wiped his forehead covered with sweat, and his hairline seemed to move back an inch, and he hummed, "Then teach me, what other sauces are delicious for putting shoes on."

Huo Lixin said that you uncle is also a ghost, you are indeed extremely smart.

The two sides happily concluded a deal, and Hawley was satisfied, and rewarded Wilmer with a few chopsticks of beef slices.

Wilmer: ?

Wilmer looked at the pile of food in front of him, and said helplessly, "Thank you, Holly, but I haven't finished eating yet."

He felt that he would never be able to finish eating, and he could not experience the joy of reaping after the food was served.

"Kids need to eat more, otherwise they won't grow strong, and they won't grow taller." Holly was persuasive, and when he said the last sentence, he even glanced at Bobby.

Bobby:?

Precisely catching his eyes, he slapped his apprentice on the back.After beating, give back a sweet date, pick up a lot of overcooked beef and put it in the Holly bowl: "Children should eat more, otherwise it will be easy to push their noses on their faces."

Holly: ...

The sun slowly slides down the sea level, and the dinner that was upgraded to a dinner is finally over.

Everyone didn't dare to drink too much, and didn't drink any more.Because the sea at night is the most dangerous.The heat and the smell of wine gradually disappeared in the air as they were cleaned up one after another.

Hawley and Wilmer stood on the observatory, blowing the sea breeze and listening to the sound of the waves.

The surface of the sea became unclear, but under the light of the bonfire and ship lights, the sea surface was golden.

"Sorry, actually I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, and I want you to follow me in uncertainty."

Hearing what Holly said suddenly, Wilmer pulled off his mask and breathed the salty smell of seawater freely.

Yes, he felt free.

It's been a long time since he had spoken so many words with others. These days, he dedicated the most words in the past few years to Holly.But he is still not very good at communication, so he has to express his inner thoughts as much as possible.

Wilmer moved closer to Holly, and their clothes were gently pressed together under the wind.

"Don't apologize, I don't feel bad. Now I am free, and you are very, very good to me.

"You make me feel very at ease. As long as I follow you, I feel very happy and happy."

"So, I hope you don't leave me easily." Wilmer swallowed the last sentence, but didn't say it out.

When he knows Xiaokulou's true feelings, he will express them very straightforwardly and clumsily.Holly laughed silently, because this way of expressing his feelings was too deep in his heart.

"It's only been a few days, and you've let go of your guard against me?" Holly rubbed his brain desperately, "But you have to remember, don't lose your vigilance to other people."

This was his spontaneous behavior, and he felt that although the child was a little bored, it was really fun to play with.Not only that, in fact, Holly himself felt that the little skull was very close for no reason, the kind that he couldn't help but want to get close to.

This time I went to the Lost Island, in fact, how cool I pretended to be at the beginning, the anxiety deep in my heart was so great.

He did know something about the current lord of the Lost Island, the Donovan dragon, and the evidence was conclusive.

But that's what I learned in my previous life.

If the situation remains the same, then he is [-]% sure to win this opportunity.But now he has quit the Knights of Light and boarded the Sienna.

The original trajectory has changed, and it is unclear to what extent the butterfly's wings flap.

Therefore, he is actually betting against the butterfly effect.

If he wins the bet, he will have a favorable wind, and everything will go well in the future; if he loses the bet, he will try his best to turn things around against the wind.

...By the way, I overheard the conversation between Master and Alena on the first night before. They said that the person who hunted down was called "Truman"

In fact, regardless of the prefix "light" or "dark", there are many elves named Truman, not to mention other races.

If it's really that "Truman"... Holly's eyes dimmed.

The source of everything, even his last death in the previous life, seems to be explainable.

The summer night sea breeze is pleasant, but at the same time, unexpected guests from the sea are blowing.

Because it is closer to the ship lights.Hawley vaguely saw a shadow coming in this direction in the distance.

He went to call the helmsman, only to see that the other party jumped onto the low mast of the observation deck, stared into the distance for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "The whole ship is on alert——!!!"

The author has something to say:

Sienna's First Spoon Cup Competition (?

-

The enthusiasm from the elders to pick up vegetables is really unbearable!

Every time I go back to my grandparents' house, the two old people always try their best to pick up vegetables for me during meals.

When it's over, it will say: "You eat the vegetables by yourself, you don't put them in any way!"

I:? ? ?

If you can’t finish the bowl, why add more food yourself!

I like to call it the Veggie Paradox.
