MTL - My Summons Are Weird-Chapter 19 cooking makes me happy
The crunch of the wagon wheels running over the uneven ground gradually faded away.
Lu Yu and Sigrid looked up at the mansion in front of them.
The three-story brick and wood structure house facing north and south, with a triangular roof, is equipped with a bell tower about five stories high.
The blue-gray exterior walls of the two buildings have traces of vines entwining. As time goes by, the color of the original walls can no longer be recognized, and only the thick blue-brown can be seen.
The key to the basement had been handed over to Sigrid, but the kind noble housekeeper reminded them before leaving.
"The ventilation in the basement is not very good, please pay attention to safety."
Sigrid said that the reason why the rent of this mansion is cheap is because there are several unlucky magicians in the basement who are developing potions and poisoning them with collective gas.
Two of the seven sorcerers eventually died.
After the surviving magician woke up, he shouted in horror and said many absurd and bizarre words.
Wrapped and entangled by a thousand tentacles.
The other companion's face was split open, and behind it were dense fangs.
The tawny pus drowned them...
Although it has been identified by the doctor that this is the remnant of the medicine affecting their thoughts, such bizarre words are always very popular among the people at the bottom.
For a time, this small house that the Turner family used to rent became a gathering place for urban legends.
If it wasn't for the Turner family being a viscount, someone would definitely want to break into it and find out.
Because of this, the house here has been abandoned for a long time, and the price has dropped again and again, and finally Sigrid won it at a low price.
This is the first time Sigrid has played a role since she became Lu Yu's servant, and her performance is satisfactory enough.
Lu Yu's play also unfolded very smoothly.
The servants who helped the nobles rent out their houses all know that there was a nobleman from a distant country who came to the royal city with his servants.
He is poor and loves to show off.
Clearly he had no money, but he was just picking and choosing with a few silver coins.
After picking and choosing for a long time, I finally moved in on the grounds of "I like the style of the Turner's house".
Pure nonsense, isn't it just cheap from Turner's house? It can really pretend!
The master is not very good, but his servants are very good-looking, but it is a pity that he is covered in robes all day and cannot appreciate his body more carefully.
Sigrid can naturally see the filth in the hearts of these servants, but when she enters her identity, her words and deeds must be aligned with Lu Yu's script.
Her character is Lu Yu, the most capable servant of the "arrogant" and "loving to show off" aristocratic master.
When Lu Yu was a bad person, she was sneering and sarcastic, so she would stand up as a good person and speak to Lu Yu.
She has just returned to freedom and is still in the adaptation period of her identity. It is really challenging and difficult to suddenly take on such a role.
For example, when she was verbally molested by the rental agency, she looked at the other person's fingers.
Instead of Lu Yu coughing, she might choose between breaking her finger and biting her finger for stimulation.
After closing the door that smelled a little musty, he checked the whole house, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, Lu Yu released Lulutis and asked her to check again with her rich experience as a seventh-order magician.
And after Lu Yu called Sigrid to his side, he gently put his hand on her shoulder.
Perhaps some memories of the slave period were too deep. Sigrid grabbed Lu Yu's hand and wanted to break it. Fortunately, she responded quickly and stopped this move, otherwise Lu Yu's arm would have been dislocated.
"Sorry..." Sigrid lowered her head in panic.
Lu Yu didn't take it seriously, and didn't plan to care about it.
He twisted his aching shoulders and reminded: "If you really don't know how to get into the play, go to a mirror, look at yourself in the mirror, and think about the expression you want to show in various situations."
"Also, I have a word for you."
"What determines your height is your ability, but what determines your life and death may be your acting skills."
Lu Yu also doesn't intend to criticize Sigrid's impulse too much. It takes time for people to change. It can't be the same today and the same tomorrow.
Unless you are adding points to characters, there is generally no instant growth.
Lulutis floated to Lu Yu's side with a large set of keys with her tentacles.
"After the inspection, no abnormality was found, but the Turner family is really unkind. The mirrors in the two vacant rooms on the second floor are broken, and they don't want to replace them with new ones. It's really stingy."
Lu Yu walked up to the third floor and looked into the distance through the huge window.
Because it is located in the eastern suburbs of Wangcheng, there are relatively few households here. There are only six or seven households within the visible range. Basically, they are rented by noble families to powerful adventurers and foreign businessmen.
It is said that there are two earl's manor not far away, and many of the serfs in the vicinity belong to them.
Just as the sun went down, in the distant mountains, many serfs were urged by the guards' whips to return to the farm.
Looking from a height, they are shouldering all kinds of goods, and their tools are like toiling ants.
Lu Yu looked at it carefully for a while, then pulled the curtains up.
When they returned to the first floor, Sigrid happened to have moved all the things that she had bought in the large and small bags into the house.
Seeing Sigrid busy sorting, Lu Yu said to Lulutis, "Tentacle monster, help me, anyway, you have a lot of hands."
"Oh... Wait, what about you?"
Lu Yu found seasonings from the package, ripe tomatoes, and a large piece of beef brisket.
"What did you just ask?"
Lu Yu shook the beef brisket in front of Lulutis' eyes, and Lulutis immediately stopped talking.
This is Lu Yu's best field, and Lulutis has no room to intervene.
In the days of Shudong, Lu Yu was able to make delicious meals every day with limited materials. Now that he has so many tools, he doesn't know what good food he can eat tonight.
Sigrid, who was busy unpacking and sorting things, saw Lu Yu walking into the kitchen humming a little song, and subconsciously wanted to follow him.
Sigrid, who has recognized her position as a servant, simply believes that cooking should be her own business.
Although her cooking experience is basically limited to grilling, frying, and simmering.
Just as she was about to get up, her hand sank.
"Lulutis...sir?"
Lulutis' tentacles swayed back and forth.
"Are you telling me to leave it alone?"
The tentacles form a small circle.
According to Lu Yu's assisted conversation before, this is the right meaning.
Could it be that the owner of the house is really good at cooking?
Good at not dare to say, Lu Yu simply felt that the meals cooked by the other two would only be indescribable.
Maybe the word inexhaustible is a euphemism, and you need to be careful that their finished dishes may impress you so much that they summon the ancient gods after becoming a summoner.
Lulutis is just a person who has eaten palace banquets, is pampered, has no knowledge of world affairs, and has little experience...
Going further, Lulutis must not know how to cook anyway.
While in the tree hole, Lulutis invited him to a meal of slime potion soup.
She, who didn't know how to control the heat at all, let the soup boil into a magic green paste.
Lulutis insisted that she could eat it and asked Lu Yu to try it.
Lu Yu spooned out a spoonful of magic energy green paste, and asked Lulutis to eat it first.
Lulutis immediately shrank into the corner.
At that moment, a classic clip of a movie appeared in Lu Yu's mind.
And Sigrid... According to her description, at the age of sixteen, she has been living with a group of elves since she can remember, and her name was taken from these elves.
Although she learned some cooking knowledge from the elves, she was only enough for a beginner to satisfy her stomach.
Lu Yu's mouth was stubborn, for the sake of his stomach, he had to cook the food himself to be at ease.
Take a pot and heat water to blanch the tomatoes, peel them and cut them into cubes.
Put the beef brisket in a pot and blanch it once, then start to simmer until it is soft.
Thinking that the taste might not be enough, Lu Yu broke off a clove of garlic, sautéed it with butter, and then poured in diced tomatoes.
After the diced tomatoes are all simmered in high heat, add sugar to make it a little sweeter.
The brisket on the other side was also soft and rotten, just enough to be taken out and put into a pot with tomato juice.
Lulutis and Sigrid, who had sorted out their belongings, came behind Lu Yu at some point.
They watched Lu Yu work on two lines in an orderly manner, concentrated on preparing dinner, and then smelled the fragrance of vegetables and rice that gradually filled the kitchen...
Sigrid's saliva flowed out, her eyes kept on Lu Yu's movements, she planned to learn this set of procedures so that she could use it later.
After a while, a large plate of beef brisket with tomatoes, a pot of stewed beef brisket soup, and a plate of stir-fried vegetable seedlings were placed on the table.
Seeing that Lu Yu took the vegetables, after Lulutis picked up the spoon and started eating, Sigrid also used the spoon to spoon a piece of beef brisket into her mouth.
This mouthful made Lulutis and Sigrid exclaim, what a wonderful taste.
The viscous tomato soup is wrapped around the softly stewed beef brisket. When you enter it, the slightly sour and sweetness of the tomatoes comes first, followed by the thick meaty aroma of the beef brisket melted into the juice.
The beef brisket rotted in the mouth with a sip, and the juice absorbed in it flowed out...
Seeing that Sigrid and Lulutis poured their spoons faster and faster, Lu Yu was also glad that he made a lot, enough for three people to eat.
"Try it with bibimbap, it's even more delicious."
After the two of them tried this, they instantly felt that they were about to run out of rice.
This is the first time that the three-person team has settled down for a meal, and this meal was extraordinarily sweet.
After Lulutis finished eating, the speed of the black mist drifted faster. When talking with Lu Yu, she was full of burps, obviously she was overwhelmed.
Sigrid also had a bulging stomach, and said with blurry eyes, "I haven't eaten so well in a long time."
Lu Yu liked this atmosphere very much. Seeing everyone eating so happily, he also felt happy.
Originally, it should be enough for five people, and there is still some soup left for the tomato brisket next morning.
Everyone ate the raw food and lay down on the chairs and rested for a long time. Only then did the trio's first meeting in the Kingdom of Yas begin.
In order to facilitate memories and associations, Lu Yu named the meeting.
Tomato brisket meeting.
Although Lulutis said that every time I think about it, I will be hungry, but Lu Yu doesn't plan to change.
