Otherworldly recipes

Lin Huaimeng led the way, and she took Ai Wen into an alley, which was surrounded by residential buildings on both sides, and the tall plane trees made the road more quiet.

The two turned left and right and arrived at a secluded bookstore. The iron door plate was hanging on one side, and the characters on it were like blooming bouquets. Ai Wen couldn't recognize any of them. The feeling of suddenly becoming illiterate made the whole world less comfortable generally.

Ivan pushed open the transparent glass door, and the cold air from the air conditioner greeted him. Compared with the heat outside, the temperature here is cool and pleasant.

She looked curiously at the densely packed books neatly placed on the curved white bookshelf, and the large transparent glass made the whole space look spacious and bright.

Green plants surround the store entrance, wooden benches create a warm feeling, and the hanging lights are light yellow. The duplex structure allows this small store to have as many books as possible.

The atmosphere here is really good, without the hustle and bustle of the commercial street, the sun is shining on the window, warm and cozy.

There is a food bowl and water basin at the door, and occasionally stray cats on the roadside will come to beg for saliva. It skillfully takes out cat food from the food bowl with its paws. The crispy cat food is crunchy and its big tail hangs down On the ground, lazily licking the pads.

Most of the guests inside are immersed in their work and study, and some even order a light meal and coffee in the bookstore. Ivan saw them tasting different drinks, the melted ice cream is dotted with shaved chocolate, The strong sweet smell can even be smelled, and there are signs with the word quiet everywhere in the bookstore.

Aiwen was led to an empty seat by the shopkeeper. Lin Huaimeng made a gesture of waiting. Facing the shopkeeper's crappy gestures, Aiwen could always easily understand the meaning of the other party. She nodded comprehendingly, quietly Sitting in his seat, he watched the other party leave.

The warmth of the golden fur that comforted her still remained in the palm of her hand. Its tongue was moist and hot, and the touch on the palm of her hand was slightly numb. This reminded Ai Wen of the big dog again, with wet black eyes, focused and surprised. To greet such a stranger as myself.

In fact, when facing it for the first time, Ai Wen felt her back go numb for a moment, and she was subconsciously in a state of alert. It can be said that a little force on her wrist can crush the opponent's neck, and she seemed to allow the animal to Touching yourself is a very rare thing.

The concept of pets does not exist on Yunxing. Humans already occupy resources when they are alive, let alone raising a useless life?

Moreover, there were indeed very few animals living at that time. With the death of plants, the consequence it brought was the extinction of most species. This chain reaction seemed to want to wipe out all species on this planet.

This may be a huge blow to the species, but not to the planet.

After hundreds of millions of years of precipitation on the planet, the first new life will appear on the land, and then these new lives will open a brand new world.

Human beings are just a speck of dust in the world. The struggle is not for the so-called other things, but for the belief that they want to live. Nature and everything have to survive with difficulty.

All kinds of seemingly cruel policies/policies on Yunxing are for the continuation of the word. When resources are sufficient, the word human/right can be used. When resources are scarce and survival becomes a problem, high-level technological development will begin automatically. Weeding out useless existence is inevitable.

Human beings are insignificant in the face of nature, but absurd in the face of the technology created by themselves.

The waiter in the bookstore brought two plates of simple food and put them in front of Ai Wen. She smiled and said, "Use slowly."

Faced with such a friendly smile, Aiwen also learned to smile. When she raised her head, she could see the faint purple in her eyes. The other party was obviously stunned for a moment because of these strange pupils. Later, she thought of the color contact lenses. Only then did I suddenly realize.

The fried golden onion rings are placed on the white plate, and the surface of the chicken wings is burnt with oil and golden, exuding a cumin aroma.

The bread on another plate is baked crispy, with bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiched between three layers of bread, cut along the diagonal, and there is a semi-solidified egg yolk in the distinct layers, and the center can flow faintly, being A little yellow egg wash flowed on the bacon when it was cut.

There is a complimentary lemonade at every table, a sliced ​​lemon floating in a glass, and the soda soaked in the ice-carrying glass.

Lin Huaimeng was on the second floor, picking out books about Chinese learning. She flipped through all the most basic introductory books, and when she came to her senses, she had already stayed there for 10 to [-] minutes.

Her time would always be eaten up by intangible things, and she ran downstairs in a hurry to see the unique Ivan among all the guests.

Her back is always the straightest, her eyes are clear and always focused.

"Why didn't you eat? Eat first."

Lin Huaimeng sat down in a hurry. She lowered her head and collided with Ai Wen's eyes. There seemed to be a trace of joy in the eyes of the other party. This emotion quickly spread to the whole face. Ai Wen quickly smiled. The shopkeeper who came back late was only full of happiness, and there was no complaint at all.

Ai Wen shook his head. She had been quietly waiting for the other party to return. Lin Huaimeng poked a fried golden onion ring with a fork. The onion ring was dipped in white Thousand Island Sauce and touched Ai Wen's lips.

She froze for a moment, subconsciously opened her mouth obediently, and took small bites of the fried onion rings.

The crispy bread crumbs are fried golden, and the soft and juicy inner core is soft and juicy. The onion is very sweet in the mouth, and the black pepper on the surface spreads in the mouth. The thousand island sauce is rich and smooth, with the unique sour taste of pickled cucumbers. The combination of the mellow egg yolk and the sour pickled cucumber is very refreshing for the greasy feeling of fried food.

This taste is completely released in the mouth, the combination of crispy and fragrant, and the onion is very soft after high temperature, which makes it difficult for Aiwen to describe his mood. The heart is constantly beating, and there is a strange emotion. cling to it.

It turns out that the taste of food can really give people a sense of happiness.

Lin Huaimeng saw the change in the other party's expression, she was completely immersed in the joy of food, and she couldn't help showing a gratified smile. The meaning of food is not only to fill the stomach, but to cook during the cooking process. fun, and the taster feels bliss.

"Isn't it delicious? Try this."

She handed over a baked chicken wing. The wing was full and juicy, and the surface was coated with a layer of honey. Don't mind the fact that the wings are twice the size of the onion rings.

The chicken skin is grilled out of fat, covering the marinated chicken. It is easy to bite the skin and pull out the bones of the chicken wings. The meat is marinated very tasty, and every bite is the taste of pepper and cumin , the two spices dance on the tip of the tongue, and the just right salty sweetness makes the taste of the chicken wings richer.

The lemons in lemonade are sliced ​​lemons marinated in sugar. The sweet and sour taste makes the soda water easier to drink. There are small bubbles rolling in the sweet and sour taste. The foam rolls on the tip of the tongue, which is very novel experience.

Ai Wen swallowed the cold soda water, only to feel that the heat in his whole body was reduced to disappear, and the hot summer day was so easily ended by the drink.

Lin Huaimeng had been on an empty stomach all morning, and now it was lunch time. He came to this store not only to buy books, but also to simply solve the lunch problem.

The simple meals of this restaurant taste very good, and they have a good reputation in various reviews. For example, the taste of their grilled wings is not simply brushed with barbecue sauce, but specially marinated with pepper and cumin.

The sweetness of honey enhances the umami taste, the meat is tender and juicy, and the fat from the roasted skin oozes out, the chicken wings are not greasy in the mouth, and the aftertaste is fragrant.

Lin Huaimeng picked up the special sandwich. The bread used in this sandwich is quite special. It is slightly hard bread, full of wheat fragrance, and the melted butter spread on the inside is crispy, fragrant and pliable.

The semi-runny egg liquid flows on the bacon. The bacon is simply fried. The fat is salty and delicious. Tomato lettuce is the most classic match. This crisp and refreshing feeling makes the bacon that should be too salty become delicious. It is not so salty, but with the flexible bread core, this sandwich has a different taste.

This bread looks ordinary at first glance, and it even feels a bit hard to eat, but you can feel the strong aroma of wheat in it when you chew it carefully. This taste becomes more addictive as you eat it. Sweet.

Only half of this sandwich can fill your stomach. Its weight is very solid, and the bacon is also fried in thick slices. If you taste it carefully, there is a little bit of garlic.

I'm afraid that the garlic slices are fried with butter, and the bacon fried in this oil brings another flavor to it.

Aiwen tasted every dish carefully. She tasted the taste of every food, and each food has a different taste. They are far from each other, but they can be matched together strangely. It's amazing.

The lettuce doesn't have much flavor, the tomato is moist and sour, and the egg has only the strong flavor of the yolk. The three are not outstanding by themselves, but when they are paired with a salty bacon, they suddenly show a different posture.

It's as if the shortcomings of each other are complemented by each other and become perfect. The flexibility and whiteness of the bread allows each bite to taste the heart of the maker.

"Eat more, there are other delicious things to cook for you at night."

Lin Huaimeng knew that the other party couldn't understand a word he said, but she would tell Ai Wen one by one, and smiled in her confused eyes.

Every time he sees the shopkeeper smiling, Aiwen will laugh along with him. This is like a curse. As long as Lin Huaimeng smiles, he can't help being happy. This kind of emotion can't explain the reason, maybe the emotion can infecting relationships with others.

"I bought a lot of books for you, and I will learn slowly in the future. You still have a lot to learn. We will go home after eating."

After saying this, Lin Huaimeng couldn't help but stroked Ai Wen's head. She was wearing a peaked cap but she still had a cute attitude, and this sense of déjà vu became more and more obvious.

Aiwen really looks like a big dog, just like the golden retriever I met today. He will look at himself with focused and serious eyes, quietly waiting for him to come back, and he will show a happy expression when he comes back.

The cuteness engraved in her soul makes people feel that she will really obey all orders unconditionally. Of course, this may just be because all these environments are unfamiliar to the other party.

But as a human being, it’s better to live with more thoughts of your own.

As the old saying goes, fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and Aiwen unfortunately fell into the space-time gap and came to this strange planet, so does it mean that she can start a brand new life?

As for what will happen in life, no one can give an accurate answer.

If three years ago, I couldn't imagine my life today, but it is because of the unpredictability of life that I can become what I am today.

Lin Huaimeng looked up and saw the dim lights in the room, the passers-by on the street, and Ai Wen who was sitting opposite her was full of food residue, and traces of Qiandao sauce remained at the corner of her mouth. In the end, she still laughed because of this joyful scene With the voice out, this kind of life is really good now.
