Otherworldly recipes

The sky outside the restaurant has turned from white to dark, and the hands of the clock hanging on the wall point to 09:30 in the evening.

Bella Lambert was the last guest in the restaurant today. She was wrapped in a pitch-black robe, with a hood on, and a silver mask covering her chin. Only her pale face could be seen. Skin color, and a pair of deep green pupils.

Bella seldom spoke, and Lin Huaimeng seldom heard it a few times. Her voice was extremely hoarse, hoarse like a crow.

Bella came at the time before the door closed, and ordered a bowl of wonton in silence. It was the same dish every time and never changed.

As for why wontons, it was because when she came for the first time, Lin Huaimeng just ordered wontons when she was hungry. She didn't expect that other people would come. When she saw someone coming, she was still a new face, so she had to bite the bullet and give it to her. Bella also served a bowl of ravioli that the two of them ate together at night.

When I served Bella for the first time, I made a bowl of ordinary small wontons, seaweed sesame oil soup base, and shrimp skin and egg shreds. The wontons inside were the kind with very small meat fillings.

In Lin Huaimeng's hometown, there are such small wontons all over the place. Ordinary people think that the meat filling of small wontons is too little to eat.

When Bella appeared today, there was a strong smell of blood on her body. Her hands were white and not stained with a trace of blood, but the smell on her body was too strong, which was a bit eye-catching. Lin Huaimeng never took the initiative to ask about the guests. The origin, this is a different world, their identities are always irrelevant to the owner, the most important thing in opening a restaurant is the food itself.

Ordinary people want to eat, and the nobles of the palace also want to eat, as long as the people who come to this restaurant are Lin Huaimeng's guests.

The chicken soup I cooked today, the wontons also use chicken soup as the base soup. I put a poached egg in the wontons. Lin Huaimeng always cooks a lot of wontons for Bella. At first glance, there are many small wontons, but they are actually not very filling. Stomach, in order to make Bella full, a bowl may cook thirty small wontons.

Cooked small wontons floated in the golden chicken soup. The small green vegetables were scalded in the pot until they softened, and they were placed together in this bowl of rich wontons. Bella ate silently. Only from the speed at which she ate, she could Feel that she is satisfied.

Lin Huaimeng was washing the dishes, chopsticks and plates in the kitchen. When there was only one person busy in a restaurant, the whole person would be unable to stop like a spinning top. The dishes had to be washed, the pots and pans had to be washed, and even the dishes had to be prepared by himself. After a day of work, it is no exaggeration to say that my back is sore.

Woke up earlier than chickens, slept later than cats, worked hard from morning to night, Lin Huaimeng was thinking and giggling.

"The owner."

Lin Huaimeng heard this, and quickly shouted: "Come on, come on."

She was wiping her wet hands while walking, and the bowl in front of Bella was emptied, not even the bottom of the soup left.

Bella raised her head, her green eyes fixed on Lin Huaimeng in front of her and said very intently, "The special product you mentioned last time is mine."

Pa, a cloth bag was thrown on the table, and blood was faintly oozing from the cloth bag.

"This is a cave beast. The meat is delicious, but it's a bit difficult to catch."

Lin Huaimeng looked at Bella in surprise, "Did you remember it all the time?"

Bella nodded. What she didn't tell Lin Huaimeng was that this cave beast was not only difficult to catch, it also lived in the same cave as another very dangerous giant beast. Just to catch this cave beast consumed more than half of her energy. magic.

It is delicious and dangerous at the same time, but the taste of cave beasts is worth the risk for many people. There are also many human beings who die in caves every year. Bella has always thought this kind of behavior is ridiculous, and no one expected it. Such a kind of self, will one day take the risk to hunt and kill such a cave beast.

Bella's eyes dimmed a little. She left the currency of her own world on the table, and the expression on her face never showed sadness or joy, and she was about to leave. The door to the other world in the small restaurant was closed again.

"Welcome to come again next time~"

Lin Huaimeng behind the door watched the other party leave with a smile. After there were no more customers in the restaurant, she slumped on the chair tiredly. Lin Huaimeng turned the small funnel hanging around her neck upside down, announcing that the small restaurant was officially closed today.

There are many dirty dishes and chopsticks left in the kitchen that need to be washed and cleaned up later. Before going to bed, I have to check the warehouse to see what vegetables I need to buy tomorrow, and write down the grocery shopping list in advance.

Thinking of these things, Lin Huaimeng felt that her head was getting big. She covered her eyes with the back of her hand, and slumped on the chair with her head up. This decadent state didn't last long, so she mobilized herself, stood up again and started to clean up.

The cave beast was taken out of the cloth bag. It was a strange-looking animal. I couldn’t find where the head was and where the feet were. The stomach seemed to have been cut open. The blood that flowed out was a kind of transparent mucus, and the surface was also transparent. , looks soft.

To be honest, it may look like any animal that grows randomly in the sea.

Lin Huaimeng took out a thick cookbook from the table on the top of the kitchen. In this cookbook, the movable pages were detachable. The front was filled with densely packed words, and there were many white papers at the back. As I sat on the paper, a ghostly shadow slowly formed from the recipe.

It condenses into the shape of a strawberry cake, but this cake is talking.

Lin Huaimeng handed the remaining sour fruit experiment made today to this wonderful cake, only to hear a girl's voice: "Ah, is this a new dish?"

"Yes, can it be made into a recipe?"

Cake said sweetly and softly: "Okay...wait a minute, Xiao Ai is working hard to load and upload the recipe~"

With the loading of Xiao Ai, detailed steps began to appear on the blank paper, together with the ingredients, and a small heart appeared out of thin air on Xiao Ai's head, expressing Xiao Ai's joy.

"This dish is very interesting. It uses ingredients from two worlds. Has the owner thought about its name?"

Lin Huaimeng thought carefully, "Call it... the sour fruit of the elves."

Xiao Ai's voice paused suspiciously, and she continued softly, "It's called first love."

The poor shop owner's opinion was completely ignored, and Xiao Ai decided on the name of this dish without authorization, but Lin Huaimeng just agreed with a smile, without any unhappiness.

After the recipe was made, Lin Huaimeng put it back into this thick cookbook. Each page represents a dish, and each dish is the painstaking effort of the creator. This cookbook contains thousands of years of Come, traces left by countless people.

And Lin Huaimeng is the current owner of this wonderful cookbook. Its previous owner was her grandmother. In her memory, her grandmother was an old woman with delicious magic in her hands. Every dish she made was from her childhood. Unforgettable fond memories.

Grandma's favorite thing to cook is fried chicken drumsticks. Chicken drumsticks are wrapped in batter and deep-fried in a frying pan until golden. , can be quickly resolved by Lin Huaimeng.

At that time, grandma would always pat her belly and call her a greedy cat.

In addition to chicken legs, there are many delicious things, such as preserved egg and lean meat porridge when you are sick, served with pickled side dishes, fried dough sticks and soy milk for breakfast, plus a cage of delicious soup dumplings, poked with chopsticks The gravy flows out of the skin, and a little balsamic vinegar is poured in every time, and then wrapped in one bite.

Small wontons are added with chili oil to make a thick tofu soup.

It can be said that the years with grandma are the time that Lin Huaimeng misses the most. There are no quarrels, no pressure, some just enjoy endless food, and the leisure time of being dragged around every day. She once secretly told her grandma that she would Be a chef too.

Yes, my grandma is a chef. She used to be a cook for the flowing water table in the village, and later opened a store herself. Every dish she cooks is delicious that cannot be eaten outside, like a classic that cannot be reproduced.

But as she grew up, her mother took Lin Huaimeng back to the city, and she was studying in a boarding school all the way, busy with her studies. Only during the Chinese New Year could she have a New Year's Eve dinner with her grandmother. I have a lot of regrets.

She didn't see her favorite grandma for the last time, and she also felt that the person who loved her the most in the world had left forever. Before her grandma passed away, she left a will and left all the house to Lin Huaimeng.

Lin Huaimeng has always liked to cook food, but he has never considered it in his future employment. He studied software engineering at university and became a programmer after graduation. He stayed in Chengdu for five years. The salary of a programmer is considerable. Grandpa, the work pressure of being a grandson caused Lin Huaimeng to have some physical problems.

If you continue to do this, you will die suddenly!

When this idea came to her mind, she was on an IV drip in the hospital late at night, watching the nurse in the duty room squatting on the table for a while, and she was just waiting for the bottle of medicine to be finished, all over her body. The fatigue made Lin Huaimeng lose the idea of ​​continuing to fight.

I don't love this job, I just want to live, typing codes, consuming life, in the end, I feel that there is nothing left, this huge sense of emptiness emerges suddenly, Lin Huaimeng decides to resign.

Her orderly life was disrupted by this sudden thought, and all her colleagues were surprised that she would leave, because for so long, Lin Huaimeng belonged to the kind of serious work attitude, never late for work, never leaving early, even busy Will not shout a tired character.

Such a person suddenly said that he wanted to resign, which surprised many people. The boss also proposed a salary increase to retain him, but Lin Huaimeng refused, and his attitude was extremely firm.

Lin Huaimeng left as soon as she said she wanted to. When she wrote her resignation letter in advance and finished the work she was in charge of, she drove away from Chengdu. She was thinking about her remaining savings. For the first time, she didn't have any plans in her heart. Following my own mind, I returned to the county where my grandmother lived.

This county used to be a rural area, but it has developed in recent years and turned into a small-scale county. Grandma's house has not changed much. Lin Huaimeng drove one after another for a day before finally arriving at the destination.
