Chapter 123 Dark Cuisine
"My classmate comes from a family that grows potions and domesticates magical creatures. What she is best at is dietary therapy, and she is also very good at cooking. So, do you want to try it, Greengrass? Miss?"
After Shen Meng showed an expression of sudden realization, she said again:
"In order to replenish your health this time, the Mystic Arts Association has approved a lot of rare materials, and we plan to benefit from you this time."
Shen Meng seemed to notice Astoria's embarrassment, so she smiled and said to her.
Astoria also looked at the girl in front of her, her image was so similar to her own.
They all have white hair and red eyes...
"Ah, don't be so surprised. You and I are both victims of the blood curse. It's just that I'm luckier than you."
Shen Meng saw that Astoria seemed to be very interested in her appearance, so she flipped her hair generously.
"and you"……
Astoria thought about the words for a moment, but in the end she didn't ask.
She was well aware of her despair during that period, and Astoria now didn't want others to recall it, nor did she want herself to recall that tragic and dark time.
"For patients suffering from the blood curse, women's symptoms are more severe, while men's symptoms are basically unaffected due to their souls. They must have suffered over the years"...
Shen Meng sighed, walked over and hugged Astoria gently.
"Let's go! Sister, I will take you to eat delicious food"!
Shen Meng said to Astoria with a smile.
…………
"Wow, it smells so good"!
Astoria, who had changed into home clothes, slowly walked down from the second floor. Smelling the strong fragrance in the living room, her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
"Xiao Mu! Are you okay over there?"
Shen Meng patted the wooden door of the kitchen hard, letting her voice drown out the sound of the spatula inside, and shouted loudly inside.
"Wait a minute, there is still one frozen bamboo shoot left, I will come out after cutting it"!
A clear female voice came from inside, and at the same time it was the sound of a spatula scraping a pot.
"After cutting it, come here and help me serve the food"!
After a while, the kitchen became completely quiet, and Shen Meng quickly opened the kitchen door.
"It's done, but the pot of soup is a bit heavy. Why don't we wait for your brother and the others to come back before we eat?"
Another girl came out. She stretched out her hand to wipe the sweat on her forehead and said to Shen Meng.
She is very beautiful.
This was Astoria's first impression of that girl.
Whether it is face shape, body shape or skin, it can almost be described as flawless.
but……
Astoria shrank back, this girl seemed to give her a sense of danger.
Astoria didn't know why she thought so, it seemed to be her instinct.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mu Qianhong, the daughter of the Mu family in the southern border of China. She is my senior sister."
Shen Meng saw Astoria's expression, so she continued to raise her finger and pointed at the long, straight black girl, and then introduced:
"This is Huang Lan, the daughter of the Huang family in northern China. She is my classmate. She is usually quite out-of-touch. If anything happens, please bear with me."
Shen Meng looked at her schoolmate and couldn't help but shake her head.
"Hey! What are you talking about? Are you chewing your tongue behind my back again?"
Huang Lan seemed to see something and asked Shen Meng with a questioning look on her face.
"Really? Then what did I just say to Miss Greengrass"?
Shen Meng turned around and asked with a smile.
"I...I don't understand"...
Huang Lan froze there, then shook her head dejectedly.
"So you should study more in normal times. You are a girl, don't always dance with guns and sticks. You are the only one in our Lao Huang family. If something happens to you, will you be worthy of your father?"
The weasel that was lying on the window sill watching the snow and basking in the sun also slipped along the floor, jumped on the dining table, and scolded Huang Lan.
"Uh, this, this is Ms. Huang, she is Huang Lan's grandmother. I can't remember how many generations ago she was"...
Shen Meng looked at the weasel and thought about it for a long time, and then forcefully squeezed out this sentence from between her teeth.
"ha"?
Astoria tilted her head in confusion. She seriously doubted that she heard correctly.
A weasel?grandmother?
? ? ? ? ?
What's happening here?
"That is, you can understand that many magical animals in China can speak human language, and they also have human forms. They can marry and have children with normal humans and reproduce."
Shen Meng scratched his head in great distress, and finally explained to Astoria.
"My ancestor was a formed white snake. She was still living here two days ago, but she didn't have the patience to wait for the heating to come, so she went back to West Lake in Suzhou and Hangzhou when it started to snow."
"what"?
Astoria still didn't react.
"Forget it, this kid is quite weak, why don't we eat first."
The white weasel wagged its tail on the dining table, and then said to everyone.
"Xiaomeng, remember to leave a portion for your brother and the Zhang family boys. I heard that they experienced a fierce battle last night, so they should eat something good to replenish themselves."
"But, I'm not sure my brother dares to eat these things"...
Shen Meng lowered his head and muttered.
"They are all good things, but some people don't know the goods. However, I think Miss Greengrass won't mind these, right"?
Mu Qianhong, who was on the side, took off her apron at this time, came over and patted Astoria on the shoulder with a smile.
"Come on, try my craftsmanship. Anyway, I think I'm pretty good at it."
Mu Qianhong pointed to the four dishes and one soup on the table and continued.
"How about fried scorpions, grilled lamb eyes, jelly of bamboo shoots, stewed sawtooth carp, and a duck soup? Isn't it very rich?"
Astoria looked at the food on the table and nodded in confusion.
There was a thick layer of egg liquid hanging on the outside of the fried scorpions, so Astoria didn't know what they were. Astoria didn't recognize the bamboo shoot jelly and piranha either. She knew the grilled lamb eyes. I know, but her aristocratic cultivation does not allow her to comment on this dish.
Besides, the weird food in Britain is almost as good as the things on the table. Astoria, who has long been accustomed to eating potatoes for three meals a day, said that no matter how unpalatable and bizarre these things are, they can still compare. Looking up at the stars?
As for the duck shelf soup…
Before taking it out of the pot, Mu Qianhong had already fished out the stewed blue centipedes to avoid causing trouble for Astoria.
So in general, the dishes on this table are indeed expensive and very filling...
