Chapter 781 Carrot and Lisa(1/2)
Bai Qiyun ignored the pile of black things on the sofa that should not be seen, and walked into the kitchen expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Lisa became unusually embarrassed and quickly put the clothes piled on top into the basket.
Life without roommates is indeed a bit too unrestricted.
"Are there any taboos?"
"I don't eat pumpkin, the rest is free."
Quick answer.
Lisa's hatred for pumpkins can be called 'revenge for killing her father', and she once thought about genocide against all pumpkins in Mondstadt.
But I gave up after thinking that this would interfere too much with people's livelihood.
"No pumpkin..."
There are not many ingredients that can be used in early spring. After all, the cold winter has just passed and the vegetables have not yet fully grown. Even many spring-specific ingredients will not be available for more than a month.
Bai Qiyun stood in front of the stage and couldn't help thinking for a moment.
Lisa likes to eat vegetable soup, but that doesn't mean she only likes to eat vegetables.
For example, he also likes to drink the soup of beef stew with white radish, and also likes to eat white radish, but the soup here is made from beef and radish stewed together.
Thinking of this, Bai Qiyun took out the home-cooked recipe book he had purchased in Mondstadt before, which included various styles of vegetable soup.
But without exception, they are all completely vegetables, with no meat present.
The most well-known one is the 'Carrot and Vegetable Soup', which he had tried to make when he first met Ying and Paimon, and there was nothing too strange about it.
The raw materials can be found in his warehouse, because Liyue people like to stock up on seasonal ingredients during the winter, such as radishes and cabbage.
Bai Qiyun took out a few fat, white radishes from his side and cut them into different shapes.
His overly skilled knife skills made him subconsciously cut it into a few white radish flowers. When he realized that this was a dish he was going to eat, the pile of white flowers on the table was already waving to him.
.
Forget it, radish will always taste the same no matter how you cook it, so the shape can be arbitrary.
Bai Qiyun didn't care about their appearance and ignored the fat white radish flowers showing off their figures on the cutting board. He put them into the boiling pot one after another and gave them a hot bath.
The radishes were bubbling in the pot, as if in protest.
Bai Qiyun cut their distant relatives into pieces in front of them. He cut the slender carrots into cubes and then patted them into mashed radish.
Perhaps the scene was too violent, and the white radish that was originally floating on the water sank to the bottom one after another.
It's coming out of sight.
"Hmph..."
Bai Qiyun didn't know what a terrible thing he had just done, so he put the crushed radish puree into the pot.
These radish purees will make the water soup thicker, and the same is true for pumpkin soup.
Oh, by the way, Lisa said that she doesn't eat pumpkin, and she doesn't know if she won't like the similar taste.
Judging from Bai Qiyun's experience, soup-based dishes generally won't taste very good if they don't add more fat.
Although vegetables have their own aromas, if these are the only things in people's mouth, they will be somewhat dull.
But Mondstadt is not very good at using fats and oils to supplement vegetables. They are more willing to use cream, milk and other ingredients to fill the dishes with corresponding aromas.
Bai Qiyun imitated the local customs and added some milk to it as appropriate.
The soup that was originally dyed orange-red by carrots was mixed with a hint of milky white, and the two mixed together to create a strange appearance.
"This thing...uh..."
Bai Qiyun felt a little strange, but he had seen such orange-brown soup in many Mondstadt dishes, so he thought it was not a big problem.
In his impression, the radish and vegetable soup was spicy and sour, so he added some rice vinegar and chili pepper, but it only involved seasoning.
Not long after, a pot of delicious radish and vegetable soup was completed in front of the boy's eyes.
"Taste this."
Bai Qiyun brought the bowl to Lisa.
After returning home and taking a shower, Lisa seemed to be in much better spirits than when she went out in the morning.
She leaned down and smelled the bowl of Mondstadt food brought from a stranger.
The tangy aroma immediately whetted her appetite.
Without any hesitation, Lisa took the soup bowl, scooped a mouthful of it with the matching spoon and swallowed it.
The crisp and tender radish wrapped in the thick soup swirled and danced on her taste buds.
The overly refreshing aroma of radish filled her nostrils, and an earthy aroma from Mondstadt lingered in her mouth.
A warmth continued to spread on her body, allowing Lisa's body to feel a little warm even in the slightly cold season of early spring.
"Um..."
The feeling was so comfortable that she couldn't help but hum.
"This is elemental power. I didn't expect a dish to be able to reach this level... This is already at the level of an alchemical product."
Half of the vegetable soup in front of her was gone, and Lisa could clearly feel that the elemental power contained in the vegetable soup was spreading throughout her body.
It was the first time she had seen someone who could cook to this extent.
"It's just a little thing that I tinkered with occasionally, and it can't be put on the stage."
Hearing this, Bai Qiyun quickly shook his head.
The person in front of him was a top student from the Xumi Order. Although she only served in the Knights, her alchemy skills were definitely not low. It was just that Abedo had to overpower her in front of her to appear so unknown.
But Bai Qiyun had heard from Rosalind that Lisa was very good at mixing potions, which was also a type of alchemy.
The magic potion she prepared can even exterminate a species. The extermination of pumpkins mentioned before was not groundless.
In front of people of this level, he felt that it was better not to show off his three-legged cat skills.
Lisa swallowed all the vegetable soup in front of her, and a spontaneous feeling of satisfaction filled her heart.
The aroma of milk faded away at the end of the soup, leaving her with a sweet taste in her mouth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In fact, if someone else offers her a bowl of food, given her vigilance, she will most likely not accept it.
Of course, if it was this kind of person, she would not invite such a person to her home from the beginning.
Her home seems to be very messy, but not everyone can come to it.
Except for a very few members of the Knights who she can trust and her own master, no one else can have this honor.
But obviously, the boy in front of him is an exception.
For future treatment, Lisa felt that she had to get to know this person first.
Although her master emphasized that this was just a common treatment, and theoretically there was no need for the two of them to meet.
But both she and the boy in front of her knew very well that when this matter came between them, it was not a simple medical act.
"What else are we going to do next, write letters for the children?"
Seeing that Lisa was satisfied with the cooking he made, Bai Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.
It's like a student facing an exam finally passes.
Although he didn't feel that he needed to be nervous, this feeling seemed to be innate and could not be controlled by him.
"Of course not. Instructing children to write letters is what the nuns in the church have to do. What we have to do is to confirm whether there is any obstruction in the process here."
I don't know if it was because she had lunch, but Lisa's face looked even more charming at this time.
It's like a peony that has grown so luxuriantly is finally about to bloom, making people afraid to look directly at it.
Bai Qiyun stabilized his mentality and sent the tableware to the kitchen without changing his expression, waiting for the two of them to go out next.
————
"Huh? Didn't Lisa go to the library today?"
Qin finished her work in the morning and planned to enjoy lunch with her best friends, but when she came to the library, she found that there was no one at the counter.
"Acting Head, Miss Lisa went out with a gentleman from Liyue just now."
Upon hearing her question, the Knight of the West Wind, who had been standing guard in front of the library to maintain order, immediately answered.
"Liyue?"
Hearing this, the figure of a young man appeared in Qin's mind.
"It's him?"
She has been busy with official duties in recent days and has not received information on time.
Otherwise, the news that Bai Qiyun and others arrived in Mondstadt City would be on her desk immediately.
However, even Kaia, who has been working on intelligence for many years, did not mention this matter to her, so maybe the purpose of this group of people coming has nothing to do with Mondstadt.
