Desperate to meet a dog

Huang walked around the spacious kitchen, first picked out a few kitchen utensils that would be used, then avoided the freezer "specially prepared for monsters", opened the one "usable for humans", and picked some vegetables.Big Tengu saw that Huang only picked vegetables and fruits, immediately pulled Huang's hair in dissatisfaction, and pointed to the lower floor of the freezer, where the meat was placed.

Fortunately, he didn't let himself go to other freezers to pick ingredients.With a grunt of relief, Huang took out a box of quick-frozen fat beef slices and muttered to himself: "Let's make a potato stew, and serve it with miso soba noodles."

Hearing the menu reported by Huang, Ootengu raised his hands happily, and crisp laughter spread into Huang's ears. Huang sorted and washed the vegetables he took out, peeled the potatoes, cut them into pieces, and soaked them in water. Slices, onions, carrots, shiitake mushrooms and cabbage were all processed. While the potatoes were standing still, he first boiled the soba noodles, blanched the cabbage, and added seasoning and miso noodles. After a while, a large bowl The fragrant miso soba noodles are out of the pan.

Daitengu was not very interested in meatless soba noodles, so he pulled Arara by the ear and urged him to speed up, Arara rubbed his head with his backhand with a wry smile, cleaned the pot, restarted the stove, poured in the drained potatoes and stir-fried , When the color of the potatoes changed slightly, he poured in other vegetables and stir-fried together. When the heat was about the same, he poured broth and seasonings into the unfinished dishes, stirred them slowly, and then added the fatty beef that Otengu loved.

Cover the pot and carry out the final simmering. Ootengu couldn't wait, and kept struggling behind Araki. Taking advantage of the gap, Arara hugged him to him, pointed to the soba noodles and said, "If you are hungry, eat two bites first. How's the face?"

Ootengu shook its head like a rattle, and directly ignored Huang's suggestion.Huang sighed helplessly, and couldn't help nagging a few words: "How can you be so picky about food, and besides, the noodles I make taste good, are you sure you don't want to try it?"

Daitengu puffed out his cheeks and shook his head in a serious manner. Suddenly, he babbled and waved his hand with his round fan in the direction of the soba noodles.Huang turned his head and saw a strange child quietly appearing in front of his eyes.

The child has shoulder-length black hair parted in the middle, and a pointed "bun" slightly raised in the center of her forehead, which looks like a "horn" that can't penetrate the skin. Her height is not as high as the operating table in the kitchen, only half His face was exposed outside the desk, his eyes fixed on the freshly baked noodles.

Several inexplicable blue flames hung behind her head like a kite on a string, "Hiss—" Huang heard a sound of saliva, and the long-horned child who appeared inexplicably finally noticed her existence, and she let out a short cry of surprise With a sound, he hid under the desk, but those clusters of eye-catching blue-green flames had nowhere to hide.

Arara and Ootengu looked at each other, and couldn't stop walking towards the place where the strange child was hiding. The child was wearing a bright red kimono. She squatted for a while covering her face with her hands, let go of her hands quietly, and raised her face towards the look up...

"Hey!" The child was frightened again, and sat down on the ground with a plop.Huang didn't intend to scare her, so he backed away immediately, and asked gently, "Are you okay?"

The child's face turned pale with nervousness, she shook her head vigorously, then moved back by rubbing against the floor.Huang was a little at a loss, the cub in his arms was enough to give him a headache, and now there was another one... He scratched his head, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the buckwheat noodles quietly placed on the desk.

"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" Huang took another small bowl, divided some out, and put the bowl and chopsticks in front of the child.The child stared at his every move, her pale complexion improved a bit, and she blushed faintly. She looked at Huang, then at the crystal and delicious soba noodles in front of her, and finally stretched out her hands to hold the bowl and chopsticks .

"Thank you, thank you!" The child thanked her vigorously, and ran out of the kitchen with the bowl in her arms. Only then did Huang realize that the clusters of fireflies were hanging on the tip of her hair...

"Is he a monster kid again..." Huang muttered, suddenly the big tengu in his arms tugged at the hem of his clothes, directing him to turn to the stove.After the little episode just now, the stewed potato stew had already exuded a charming aroma, and Daitengu's movements slowed down, with his mouth slightly open and drooling.

"Don't move, saliva is about to drip onto my clothes!" Huang hastily held up his chin, turned off the fire with the other hand, opened the lid of the pot and poured the potato stew into a bowl.Then, he cleaned the pots and utensils, and then, under the urging of Daitengu, he walked into the Japanese room with potato stew and soba noodles.

"Shula——" opened the paper door, and there was a monster kid who had just appeared in the kitchen sitting by the low table in the Japanese room, and beside her was another kid who was smaller than her, with big eyes and short beige hair , a pair of long rabbit ears standing on the head energetically.Seeing Huang's appearance, the little rabbit made a gasping sound more frightened than a child, and ran away through the paper door that opened to the courtyard in a flash.

A few loud frog calls came from the courtyard, and then they were covered by the noisy crows.

Strange, it's already autumn, how come there are such energetic frogs?

Huang paused in confusion for a while, the big tengu in his arms didn't give him time to be dazed, and pinched his chin without a teacher, Huang lowered his head, met Shang Huang's dissatisfied gaze, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, Sitting cross-legged.Daitengu sat on the table, impatient to eat the delicious stew, Ara specially prepared a small dish for him, put potatoes, carrots and sliced ​​meat on it, stuck a toothpick on it, and delivered it to him.

Seeing that there were other ingredients in the small dish, Ootengu snorted a few times in dissatisfaction. He held up a toothpick and took a bite of the delicious potato. The dissatisfaction he had just dissipated immediately, and he began to eat happily.The child sitting on the other side of the low table did not leave, and his expression was still a little cramped.The bowl in front of her was empty.

Huang observed her for a while, and put some dishes into her bowl without discrimination. The child's eyes lit up, but without moving her chopsticks, she turned to Huang and saluted respectfully, and said slowly and clearly, "Thank you for your kindness." gift."

"You're welcome, eat it while it's hot." Aramae started to eat the soba noodles, and he asked while eating, "What's your name?"

"I am Zashiki-douji." The child asked in a straight voice, "Aren't you a monster?"

"I'm human, I'm sorry for scaring you just now." Huang apologized.

"No, that's not your fault, I overstepped." Zashiki boy sat upright, trying not to look at the full-colored delicacies in the bowl, and said sternly, "My aunt once said that children who are important in the kitchen are not allowed to enter at will. I didn't follow the rules today, everything is my fault." Saying that, Zashiki-douji bowed down again, "The dishes you cooked...are really delicious." She said with a blushing face.

"Thank you for your compliment." Huang also felt embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, who was that little rabbit just now?"

"Ah, are you asking Yamato? She is also a child in the monster mansion, and she usually stays with Mr. Frog." Zashiki Doji added, "The children in the monster mansion are more afraid of strangers, I hope you don't take offense. "

"It doesn't matter, coming here as a human is to cause you trouble, can you tell me, is there anyone else living in the mansion?"

Zashiki Doji thought for a while, and then answered solemnly: "In addition to Yamato and I, there are boys and girls, brothers and sisters, Komatsumaru, Butterfly, Firefly, and Tanuki living here. Carp and Kappa live in the pond in the courtyard. The black and white boys occasionally come back to visit their aunt, and they are currently studying in the underworld."

Hades?Ararat was a little hard to digest, Zashiki Doji's brief sentence made his mind gallop like a wild horse, he tried to outline the appearance of the remaining unmasked monsters, but he just made up a few black and white Huhu's shadow was interrupted by the big tengu.

"Pa——" Datengu slapped the table suddenly, glared at him angrily, turned his head to look, and couldn't help laughing.It turned out that the dish was empty, no wonder the kid was upset.He added vegetables and meat again, and rolled up a small ball of noodles and placed them on a plate. The big tengu who doesn't like noodles took a look at Huang, but he didn't protest, and obediently sucked up the noodles.

Seeing this scene, Zashiki Warji couldn't help showing envy.When Ara came back to look at her, she hastily lowered her head, picked up the bowl and started eating...it was a bit hot, but very delicious.
