Chapter 19 19 Cooking Makes Me Happy

Chapter 19 19. Cooking makes me happy

The "creaking" sound of the carriage wheels rolling over the uneven ground gradually faded away.

Lu Yu and Sigrid looked up at the mansion in front of them.

The three-story brick-and-wood structure house facing north and south, with a triangular roof and a bell tower about five stories high,

The blue-gray exterior walls of the two buildings have traces of vines entangled. As time goes by, the original color of the wall can no longer be recognized, and only the thick blue-brown color can be seen.

The key to the basement has been handed over to Sigrid, but the kind noble housekeeper reminded them before leaving.

"The ventilation in the basement is not very good, please pay attention to safety."

Sigrid said that the reason why the rent of this mansion is cheap is because several unlucky magicians developed potions in the basement and suffered from collective gas poisoning.

Two of the seven magicians eventually died.

The surviving magician screamed in fear after waking up, saying many absurd and weird words.

Wrapped and entangled by a thousand tentacles

The face of another companion cracked, and hidden behind it were densely packed fangs.

The yellow-brown pus flooded them...

Although the doctor identified that it was the remnants of the medicine that affected their thoughts, such bizarre words always had a market among the lower-class people.

For a time, this small house used by the Turner family for rent became a gathering place for urban legends.

If the Turner family was not a viscount, someone would definitely want to break in and find out.

Because of this, the house here has been abandoned for a long time, and the price has been reduced again and again, and finally Sigrid bought it at a low price.

This is the first time Sigrid has played a role since she became Lu Yu's servant, and her performance is satisfactory enough.

Lu Yu's play also unfolded very smoothly.

The servants who helped the nobles rent houses all knew that a noble from a distant country came to the royal city with servants.

He was poor and liked to show off.

He clearly didn't have much money, but he just picked and chose with a few silver coins.

After a long time of picking and choosing, she finally moved in with the excuse that "I like the style of Turner's house very much".

This is pure nonsense. Isn't Turner's house cheap? How can she pretend!

The master is not very good, but his servants are very good-looking. It's just a pity that they are covered in robes all day long, so you can't appreciate their figures more carefully.

Sigrid can naturally see the filthiness in the hearts of these servants, but after entering the identity, her every word and action must be aligned with Lu Yu's script.

Her character is the most capable servant of Lu Yu, the "arrogant" and "pretentious" noble master.

When Lu Yu is a bad guy and sneers, she has to stand up as a good person to make up for Lu Yu.

She has just returned to freedom and is still in the adaptation period of her identity. It is really challenging to take on such a role suddenly.

For example, when she was verbally teased by the rental agent before, her eyes were looking at the other party's fingers.

If Lu Yu didn't cough, she might have chosen between breaking her fingers and biting them off.

After closing the slightly musty door and checking the whole house to make sure there were no outsiders, Lu Yu let Lulutis out and asked her to check again with her rich experience as a seventh-level magician.

After Lu Yu called Sigrid to his side, he gently pressed his hand on her shoulder.

Perhaps some memories of the slave period were too deep, Sigrid suddenly grabbed Lu Yu's hand and wanted to break it. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and stopped this action, otherwise Lu Yu's arm would be dislocated.

"Sorry..." Sigrid lowered her head in panic.

Lu Yu didn't think so, and didn't intend to care.

He twisted his aching shoulder and reminded: "If you really don't know how to get into the role, go find a mirror, look at yourself in the mirror, and think about the expressions you want to show in various situations."

"Also, I'll give you a word."

"Your ability determines your height, but your acting skills may determine your life and death."

Lu Yu didn't intend to criticize Sigrid's impulsiveness too much. It takes time for people to change. You can't be one way today and another way tomorrow.

Unless you are adding points to the character, there is generally no instant growth.

Lulutis floated to Lu Yu with a bunch of keys dangling from her tentacles.

"I have checked and found nothing abnormal, but the Turner family is really mean. The mirrors in the two empty rooms on the second floor are broken, and they are unwilling to replace them with new ones. They are really stingy."

Lu Yu went up to the third floor and looked into the distance through the huge window.

Because it is located in the eastern suburbs of the royal city, there are relatively few residents here. There are only six or seven families within the visible range, and they are basically rented by noble families to powerful adventurers and foreign merchants.

It is said that there are two earl's manors not far away, and many serfs nearby belong to them.

It happened to be the time when the sun was setting. In the distant mountains and forests, many serfs were urging back to the farm under the whip of the guards.

Looking from a high place, they looked like busy ants carrying all kinds of goods and tools on their shoulders.

Lu Yu looked carefully for a while and then pulled up the curtains.

When they returned to the first floor, Sigrid had just moved all the things she had bought into the house.

Seeing Sigrid busy sorting things, Lu Yu said to Lulutis: "Tentacle monster, help, you have a lot of hands anyway."

"Oh...wait, what about you?"

Lu Yu found the seasonings, ripe tomatoes, and a large piece of beef brisket in the package.

"What did you ask just now?"

Lu Yu waved the beef brisket in front of Lulutis, and Lulutis immediately fell silent.

This was Lu Yu's best area, and Lulutis had no room to interrupt.

In the days of the tree hole, Lu Yu relied on limited materials to prepare delicious meals every day. Now that he had so many tools, he didn't know what good food he would eat tonight.

Sigrid, who was busy unpacking and sorting items, saw Lu Yu humming a little tune and walked into the kitchen, and subconsciously wanted to follow him.

Sigrid, who had already recognized her position as a servant, simply believed that cooking should be her own business.

Although her cooking experience was basically limited to barbecue, frying, and stewing.

Just as she was about to get up, her hand sank.

"Lulutis... Lord?"

Lulutis's tentacles swung back and forth.

"Are you asking me to leave it alone?"

The tentacles rolled into a small circle.

According to Lu Yu's previous assistance and conversation, this was the right meaning.

Could it be that her master was really good at cooking?

I dare not say I am good at it. Lu Yu just simply feels that the food cooked by the other two people is hard to describe.

Maybe the word hard to describe seems euphemistic. I need to be careful to prevent their dishes from leaving a deep impression on me, so that I can summon the ancient gods after becoming a summoner.

Lulutis is just a person who has eaten court banquets, lived a life of luxury, was ignorant of worldly affairs, and had little experience...

I'm getting off topic. Anyway, Lulutis must not be able to cook.

In the tree hole, Lulutis treated him to a meal of slime magic potion soup.

She didn't know how to control the heat at all, and she made the soup into a magic green paste.

Lulutis insisted that it was edible and asked Lu Yu to try it.

Lu Yu scooped out a spoonful of magic green paste and asked Lulutis to eat it first.

Lulutis immediately shrank into a corner.

At that moment, a classic movie clip emerged in Lu Yu's mind.

And Sigrid… According to her description, she is sixteen years old and has lived with a group of elves since she can remember. Her name was given by this group of elves.

Although she learned some knowledge of cooking from the elves, it was only enough for a beginner to fill his stomach.

Lu Yu was picky, so for the sake of his stomach, he always had to cook by himself.

Take a pot and heat the water to blanch the tomatoes, peel them and cut them into dices.

Put the beef brisket in a pot and blanch it once, then start stewing it until it is soft.

Lu Yu, who felt that the taste might not be enough, broke a head of garlic and stir-fried it with butter, then poured in the diced tomatoes.

After the chopped tomatoes were stir-fried over high heat, add sugar to make it a little sweet.

The beef brisket on the other side was also soft at this time, and it was just right to be taken out and put into the pot of tomato juice.

Lulutis and Sigrid, who had sorted out their things, came behind Lu Yu at some point.

They watched Lu Yu work on two lines in an orderly manner, preparing dinner with great concentration, and then smelled the aroma of food and rice that gradually filled the entire kitchen...

Sigrid's saliva flowed out, and her eyes kept staring at Lu Yu's movements, intending to learn this set of procedures so that she could use them in the future.

Soon, a large plate of tomato beef brisket, a can of beef brisket stewed soup, and a dish of stir-fried vegetable sprouts were placed on the table.

Seeing Lu Yu pick up the food, Lulutis picked up the spoon and started eating, and Sigrid also scooped a piece of beef brisket with a spoon and put it into her mouth.

This bite made Lulutis and Sigrid couldn't help but exclaim, what a wonderful taste this is.

The sticky tomato soup wrapped around the stewed soft beef brisket. Once it entered the mouth, it first had the slight sourness and sweetness of the tomatoes, followed by the strong meaty aroma of the beef brisket melted into the juice.

The beef brisket melted in the mouth with a light sip, and the juice absorbed in it flowed out...

Seeing Sigrid and Lulutis shoveling faster and faster, Lu Yu was also glad that he made a lot, enough for three people to eat.

"Try mixing the soup with rice, it's more delicious."

After the two tried it, they instantly felt that the rice was almost not enough.

This was the first time that the three-person team settled down to eat after the formation of the team, and everyone ate this meal particularly sweetly.

After Lulutis finished eating, the speed of the black mist dissipating became faster. When talking to Lu Yu, she burped, obviously full.

Sigrid also ate until her stomach was bulging, and her eyes were blurred and she said: "I haven't eaten so comfortably for a long time."

Lu Yu liked this atmosphere very much. Seeing everyone eating so happily, he also felt happy.

Originally, it should be enough for five people to eat, and there would be some soup left for the tomato beef brisket with noodles tomorrow morning.

Everyone ate the original soup and original food and lay on the chair to rest for a long time, and then the first meeting of the trio in the Kingdom of Yas began.

In order to facilitate recollection and association, Lu Yu gave this meeting a name.

Tomato and Beef Brisket Meeting.

Although Lulutis said that he would get hungry every time he recalled it, Lu Yu did not intend to change it.
