I have become a god with hot pot

When he comes to the kitchen, Guo Guo is always in an orderly manner. Even if he has to prepare several ingredients at the same time and prepare food for several people, he can still be busy and not chaotic.

Guo Guo first added a small pot of water, and added the ingredients of "Ma Xing Shi Gan Soup" according to the dosage, and prepared to provide the priestess with a bowl of "black oriental herbal juice" that she proposed first. Let her know a lot.

After the small pot was stewed with medicine, Guo Guo began to think about today's dinner.In this season, the berries on the island are not yet ripe, but people have sent some dried fruits picked and dried last year, which just come in handy.

He also chose some freshly dug wild vegetables, which taste sweet and bitter, have the effect of clearing heat and dispelling fire, and are beneficial to the priest's body, which can be used for today's dinner.

When he was grabbing and decocting the medicine, Lan White was watching from the side, but the smell of the pot was full before it boiled, reminding me of the bowl of bitter and unpalatable herbal soup I drank yesterday.

He looked skeptical, "What is this?"

"Bitter medicine, let's stew it on a low fire first, let me think about what we will have for dinner."

There are only a few kinds of wild vegetables and nuts that are urgently needed on this island. People mainly eat freshly killed beef and mutton and fish caught in the sea.

But when Guo Guo passed by those freshly caught fish, he almost didn't even look at them, and just went over the few pieces of fresh beef and mutton.

Lan Huaite, who paid close attention to Guo Guo's every move, was sure almost instantly that Guo Guo didn't have any affection for these fish at all.

Lan White smiled slightly, eating fish on the pirate ship for several days, he thought that Guo Guo was probably tired of it.

But... Even he has to admit that the fish served by Guo Guo is quite different from the fish he has eaten in his life.

What's more, he grew up wandering on the sea since he was a child, and he never hated fish.Because of the good childhood memories in his heart, he even loves fish very much.If Guo Guo only cooks fish for him, he is willing to keep eating it.

However, I have eaten fish for a long time, so it would be nice if I could eat something else.

Lan White followed Guo Guo with expectant eyes, no matter what he thought about this person, he was really hungry at this moment.

The seasoning on the pirates is very simple. It is impossible to grow such a good thing as pepper here. It is already the limit to find sea salt for seasoning.

Fortunately, the meat is very fresh, and the cattle and sheep raised in winter can be slaughtered at any time. Someone specially sent a fresh and tender lamb that was slaughtered.

Guo Guo quickly scanned the things in the kitchen and nodded, "Let's eat mutton skewers tonight. I will grill them for you. The taste is definitely very different. Since the three of us eat by ourselves, we don't have to make hot pot."

"How can I help?" Lan White asked softly.

At this time, Lan White, who was standing under the kitchen lights, had a lot of warm human atmosphere on his body. After most of Guo Guo's vigilance towards him dissipated, he could appreciate this person's beauty from a pure angle.

"You can help me cut the mutton into small pieces." Guo Guo looked at him and asked, "You said you were a sailor before, what did you do on the boat? Did you cook?"

Hearing Guo Guo's instruction to cut the mutton, Lan Huaite didn't have any objection, and immediately went to wash his hands and get the kitchen knife, and replied at the same time: "I can cook, but it's limited to simply cooking the food. When I was a sailor on the ship, What a sailor should do is what a sailor should do. To put it simply, it is... operating the sailing ropes on the ship, loading and unloading cargo, maintaining the wooden deck and on-board facilities. Of course, I also steer the helm and watch the weather. A little bit, if the ship is equipped with artillery, I can probably operate it, I have been with the merchant ships of the Holy See before, watched them load and unload ammunition, and I can do it myself. "

"But I am an ordinary sailor. If possible, I hope that I will never meet pirates at sea in my life."

What he said was very serious, and he was so beautiful that there was a little bit of lingering fear on his public face, but this not only did not destroy the overall beauty, but on the contrary made it a little bit more fragile.

As if recalling some terrible memory, he stopped the knife in his hand and drew a symbol of the church's peace and blessing on his chest. After the whole set of movements, he looked like a kind and pious citizen.

He took the cutting board, raised the knife in his hand, and neatly chopped off a piece of meat from the whole piece of lamb, and showed it to Guo Guo to see the size, "Is it okay to cut this piece into small cubes?"

"Let's make it smaller, it tastes delicious when roasted." Guo Guo only glanced at the mutton, but his eyes stayed on the movements of his hands.

Unexpectedly, he is extremely proficient in cutting meat. Even when he splits the boned mutton, he seems to lift the weight with ease. It is obvious that the arm under the sleeve is very powerful, and he is very good at using a bone cutter.

He said that he had helped the cook before and could only cook the simplest food. From Guo Guo's point of view, this is really too modest. Looking at his proficiency and proper force in cutting meat, it can be seen that this person often goes in and out kitchen.

... But in this case, of course, there is another explanation.

That is to say, the proficiency in chopping meat does not come from the experience of the kitchen helper, but from his own experience in using knives.

But having said that, if he is a kind little sailor who is devout and religious, and even draws a safe amulet to pray before going to Shanghai, then why is he so good at playing bone chopping knife?

"Are you surprised?"

Under the light, Lan White seemed to feel something, and looked at Guo Guo with the warmth of the fire in his eyes.

This man was so beautiful that he looked like an angel, but the movement of cutting meat with a kitchen knife in his hand pulled him back to the mundane world.

Guo Guo shook his head, lowered his head to wash the wild vegetables in his hands, and chopped them on the cutting board.

Lan White continued to quickly and accurately decompose a large piece of mutton, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and said naturally: "I'm actually an orphan. I need to make a living by myself since I was very young. When I was around 12 years old, I once found I took a job as a butcher cutting meat and setting up a stall, and I worked for about three months."

These words just rightly dispelled Guo Guo's doubts. Lan White is so tall, he must have been stronger and stronger than his peers when he was a teenager, and cutting meat is indeed a job that requires a man's strength. If you pass the work, then it all makes sense.

It’s just that Guo Guo is a little puzzled. Looking at Lan White’s current appearance, he definitely looked good when he was a child. When he was young, he might look like a doll with pink make-up and jade. How cruel parents are, they can’t bear to have such a beautiful and healthy one. children?

Guo Guo didn't rashly poke people's scars, he just said with a smile: "No wonder you are so versatile."

Standing beside Lan White, Guo Guo was a whole head shorter than him, and was smashing nuts with the back of a knife on the chopping board next to him, rhythmically.

After crushing the nuts, Guoguo put them into the wild vegetables together, then added the dried sweet and sour berries, and kneaded them into small vegetable balls.

He scooped some water from the water tank and put it into another clean pot, ready to boil a pot of water.

While Guo Guo was preparing these, the small pieces of meat in Lan White's hand quickly piled up into a hill. He cut the mutton very quickly, and he had almost finished processing it at this time.

Guo Guo looked at the bright red mutton pieces with even distribution of fat and thinness, and couldn't help feeling very sorry, "People here don't use sticks, so the meat can only be roasted on iron plates. If you eat roast mutton, you still use sticks to wear them, so that they are evenly heated." It's delicious."

As he sighed, he boiled the last remaining flower petals and almond flour in the kitchen, and took out some uneaten gypsum tofu.

But this time, he didn't add unpalatable herbs to the tofu. After a while, the soup will be ready and poured on it. It will definitely be a very pleasing little dessert.

Lan White looked expectantly at the almond soup, which was boiled in a small pot until it became pearly luster, and then he came back to his senses and said, "What is the stick you mentioned just now?"

Guo Guo described it to him, and Lan White was thoughtful after listening.He went outside the kitchen and took a piece of clean wood from the gift from the villagers, "I'll cut one for you, and you can see if it's right."

The two started a harmonious and friendly dialogue.

"...No, yours is too thick, if you pierce it directly, the meat will be torn."

"I didn't know you wanted something thinner, but this one really won't work." There was a friction sound from inside, "How about this?"

The dazed Jiang Si got up from the outside and heard such a conversation as soon as he walked to the kitchen door. He was stunned for a moment, opened the door and looked into the room inside.

I saw Guo Guo and the handsome guy squatting on the ground full of research spirit. Lan White was holding a small knife in his hand, cutting a slender wooden stick to a point, and then sharpened the whole stick, and then As he danced into an afterimage of the knife light, more sawdust appeared on the ground.

Guo Guo was a little startled, "Aren't you too good at this? I just say it casually, and you can really make it! And...the stick doesn't even have a single wooden thorn on it. It doesn't prick your hands and is smooth. You can cut wood How did you cut it so smoothly?"

"When I was a sailor, I followed the carpenter and worked overtime to repair the ship's boards, so I knew a little bit of carpentry work."

Guo Guo was eager to try, "Then let me tell you something, and you make it for me."

Ten minutes later, a wooden steaming rack was formed in the hands of Lan Huaite. Guo Guo joyfully washed the steaming rack with water and put it into the pot of boiled water, "I just don't want to cook any more. It would be boring to cook it again in the same way, but with this, I can steam it."

He thought about Lan White for a while, but in the end he couldn't control the temptation, and asked tentatively, "How long have you been a sailor? Have you considered changing careers?"

"Changing jobs? For example...?"

"For example, on land, find a more stable job." Guo Guo took the lottery handed over by Lan White, checked it and praised: "You are really skillful, very good, just do it like this."

The wooden sticks took shape at the speed of light in Lan White's hands, and the knife in his hand was almost danced into a ball of light and shadow magic by him.

Lan White didn't immediately answer the question about changing careers, but first glanced at the almost boiled almond soup in the small pot next to him, his eyes full of hints.So Guo Guo also noticed that the almond soup was cooked, so he turned off the fire and filled the bowl, and it was done in one go.

The warm and sweet fragrance was already spreading in the air. Lan Huaite looked forward to the source of the deliciousness—almond tofu soup. Two small bowls were served. Guo Guo poured the almond soup with tofu and put it on the tray. Xiang Lan White's direction came over.

... Then, he passed by Lan White without looking sideways, handed the tray to Jiang Si, and solemnly said: "Little Jiang Si'er, you came at the right time, the medicine in the pot can be filled, you When I was going to deliver medicine and dinner to the priest, I happened to deliver two bowls of small desserts to the twins, so I would save you the trouble of going back and forth."

Lan White: "..................."

Guo Guo: "This is different from the tofu hot pot in the morning. Tell the twins not to worry, and eat it after it cools down. It will have a special flavor."

No one noticed Lan White's expression at this time. He actually lost his composure for a brief moment. His eyes were full of sick obsession as he stared at the bowl of almond tofu soup - but whatever he stared at, Whether it is a person or a thing, he would rather destroy it than give it up to others.

Guo Guo sent Jiang Si out of the house, and when he stood at the door, he said to him: "By the way, when you see the priest, take a message for me by the way. I want to ask her to come forward and ask for help. Would she like it?"

After explaining, Guo Guo returned to the kitchen with an excited look on his face, "I've saved our share of the vegetable dumplings. We'll build a small oven in the yard and roast the mutton skewers, and we can have dinner."

The kebabs skewered with skewers are really delicious. Guo Guo roasted them himself, and the heat is not bad at all. The mutton is roasted with a sizzling sound, and when biting into the mouth, it still has a plump and juicy taste.

Guo Guo sprinkled some sea salt, and also stirred a kind of leaf fragments that he picked up from the mountains, and used them as spices to sprinkle evenly on the mutton, so that the mutton tasted special.

Although Guoguo's vegetable dumplings have the bitterness of wild vegetables, they can supplement the nutrients needed by the human body. At this time, eating them with fat mutton skewers is very relieved.

After eating, they went back to rest after a brief tidying up.

It's just that Lan White disappeared for a while before it was completely dark. When he came back, he had a satisfied expression on his face and a very nice smile. In the palm of his open hand to Guo Guo, there were still a few flowers that were emitting flowers. Fragrant little flowers.

Before Guo Guo opened his mouth, Lan Huaite confessed: "Don't worry, no one saw me, I just picked a flower at the door and came back... The flower is very fragrant. Put it in your room, and it can accompany you to sleep .”

Guo Guo was surprised by his exquisite thoughts recently. Looking at the pure expectation on his face and smelling the coolness of the sweet flowers on his body at night, Guo Guo felt that he actually knew it well, so he told him "don't go out easily" All swallowed back into the stomach.

Not wanting to spoil the good atmosphere after eating mutton skewers at night, Guo Guo thanked him for his thoughtfulness, and Lan White took advantage of the opportunity to put this small handful of chilly flowers into his bedroom.

But seeing the waterproof paper bag he put beside the bed, Lan White asked, "What is this?"

This is the only "souvenir" that Guo Guo brought down from the pirate ship, but Guo Guo just smiled and said, "It's nothing, go to bed early. If the priest is willing to help, we will have to be busy these two days."

After a night of no dreams, Jiang Si brought back good news when he woke up the next day, "Brother Guo! The priest agreed to your request. She said that the time will be set tomorrow, but if this is the case, we only have one day to prepare ,is there time?"

Guo Guo, who just got up, was still a little confused, and it took a while to react, "It's too late, but I need you and Lan White to help me."

"No problem, Brother Guo, I will do whatever you ask me to do!" Jiang Si pressed down a pinch of ginger-red hair on his forehead after getting up early, and then said, "The twins thank you for the sweet almond soup you made for them yesterday Tofu, just..."

This unusual pause caught Guo Guo's attention, "Just what?"

"It's just that the two twins fought so hard last night that they almost overturned the yurt. They each accused the other of secretly drinking one of the bowls of tofu sweet soup while they were not paying attention, in order to compete for the last bowl. Belonging, the two of them drew their swords to a duel."

Guo Guo smiled: "You're a little ghost, what happened later?"

"I didn't find out in the end who stole the bowl of almond sweet tofu soup, so the two twins were punished with [-] boards each, and their mother... in front of the two daughters... I drank a bowl by myself."
