[Through] Delicious Journey

Chapter 12

Judging by the posture, it is clearly not good.

The two looked at each other.

Yi Nie picked out her ears and looked at Ying Cui pretending to be puzzled, "It's strange, why are there still flies flying around in this weather?" His expression was so serious that people couldn't help but sigh the vitality of the flies when they heard this. Really tenacious.

Ying Cui finally couldn't hold back her laughter, and collapsed on the sofa, overjoyed.

At the door, the woman's face turned pale.

The big man beside her stepped forward, stood in front of Yi Nie with a sullen face, and said in a cold voice, "Apologize!" Behind him were two other strong men standing upright, with stern eyes, trying to overwhelm others .

"Another one?" Yi Nie said impatiently without raising her eyelids.

"Boom."

With a muffled sound and a strong wind, the big man flew out bowed like a kicked sandbag, and rolled twice in the snow at the door before stopping, looking up in disbelief.

"Who have you ever seen apologize to a fly?" Yi Nie easily withdrew her kicked leg, her face was as calm as water, and there was a hint of disdainful smile at the corner of her mouth.

And the terrifying kick that kicked the big man away caused the rest of the people to swallow their saliva.

The woman's face turned green with fright. Just now the big man wiped her body and went out. She knew the strength of the strong man very well, but the person in front of him kicked him out lightly. Looking at the other party, he still couldn't The appearance of effortless effort, how strong is this?

"You, what do you want?" The woman took a few steps back in fright, hiding behind the remaining two men.

"Could it be that you broke into the house without permission?" Yi Nie leaned on the load-bearing pillar in the hall, and said rather annoyedly, "Let all the heat inside out,"

Seeing Yi Nie approaching, the woman backed away again and again, fearing that if she was not careful, she would follow in the footsteps of the strong man at the door.

Yi Nie raised her eyebrows and said with a playful smile, "Don't worry, I rarely hit women."

The woman's hands kept shaking, rarely hitting does not mean not knowing, there is always an exception, "You, you waited for me."

She raised her chin and insisted, "Tell Kenly that we will come to collect the house in three days, and if he doesn't know how to move out by then, don't blame us for being rude."

After saying this, the three hurriedly exited the hut, picked up the big man who was kicked away earlier, and disappeared into the snowstorm without looking back.

Yi Nie closed the door, and there was no gap in the room. Under the action of firewood, the temperature began to rise gradually.

"What's going on?" Ying Cui held hot tea in both hands, and covered her head with the quilt, "They don't know Kenli's identity?"

"Probably." Yi Nie shrugged, indicating that she didn't know.

But the other party probably didn't know about it, otherwise, as the managers of the Northern Snow Mountain and one of the top ten gourmet hunters, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant with a little courage.

"Just like I said I don't like this job like being in prison. Many of the ten managers are unwilling, but they are assigned tasks by the association and have to stay in the station. They will not be as dedicated as Kenley. , will only appear after any major changes occur in the collection area."

"That's why many people only know the names of the top ten gourmet hunters, and seldom know their jobs. Moreover, Kenli is not a high-profile person." Yinie thought, "These people should be from the town not far away. Let’s talk about the details when Kenley comes back.”

The wind and snow showed no signs of stopping.

Ying Cui had nothing to do and pondered on the map on the wall for a while, but couldn't find the ingredients she wanted - the ice cream sand and precious fruit cubes needed for the first dream cooking, and she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

But soon, he was attracted by the glass funnel in the corner of the kitchen.

The inside is full of snow, one end of the bucket has a triangular spire, and the other side breaks through the roof to the outside, like a different kind of chimney.

Ying Cui looked down from where it met the tightly covered roof, and the melted snow fell drop by drop from the narrow opening at the end of the glass funnel, pattering into the small tank below.

If you look closely, you can see something like a sieve is covering the small tank. It is difficult for water to pass through. The more it accumulates, the more it becomes a water sieve.

"Click, click." The sound did not come from the melting snow, but from the edge of the sieve, drops of filtered liquid became clear and transparent, and fell into the small tank to become daily drinking water.

Ying Cui dipped her finger a little and licked it, and said to herself, "Why isn't it sweet?"

He remembered that the snow here is called cotton candy snow, and it stands to reason that it should have a sweet taste after melting.

"Is it the function of this sieve?" Ying Cui was pondering to herself.

With a "crash", the sieve on the vat was lifted up.

Yi Nie replaced the gauze with a new layer, and then put the replaced layer on the chopping board.

It was only then that Ying Cui discovered that the sieve had two layers of net pockets. A little gray dust was stuck to one layer, which was thrown into the trash can by Yi Nie. Unexpectedly, there is a thick layer of transparent solid, paste-like.

"these are?"

"Cotton candy." Yi Nie uncovered the second layer of gauze, and the crystal jelly-like cotton candy kept the size of a sieve, laying on the chopping board with a candy sheen.

"You come." Yi Nie gave up her seat, and handed the string in her hand to Ying Cui, "Cut it according to the size you like."

Ying Cui pulled the rope on her hand, "It's a little slippery."

"Well, it's covered with sesame oil."

The rope is tightened and cut downwards. The cotton candy is not as hard as expected, but unexpectedly soft. After molding, the cotton candy is more like fruit candy, and the color is also very beautiful.

Ying Cui picked up a piece and smacked her lips, "It's so sweet."

After filtering and compressing the cotton candy snow, the sugar is tight, not like sugar but like honey.

Suddenly remembering something, Ying Cui rushed to the backpack in the hall to get a glass bottle, her eyes lit up and said, "Can I take some back?"

"Yes." Yi Nie made a request, "I want to eat a cake made of cotton candy."

"Deal." Thinking that she also used cotton candy to study the recipes when she went back, and there was one more taster, Ying Cui agreed.

The night gradually darkened.

During the period, Yi Nie went out for a trip and came back after hunting two Cuckoo chickens.

While Ying Cui was making dinner in the kitchen, Kenli came back with his boss and a wild boar.

Seeing Ying Cui tasting the soup and Ye Nie laying his hands down, Kenli was taken aback, touched his head and smiled, "Look at my memory, with such a master who is afraid of starving to death, how could you have nothing to eat?"

Yi Nie was not surprised to be teased like this, and took the wild boar calmly, "Shut up if you have something to eat, and try my craft today."

"What's yours?" Ying Cui kicked Yi Nie, "We're just an employment relationship." Looking at Kenli with a little embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I used your kitchen without permission."

"Don't be polite to him." It was Yi Nie who handled the ingredients neatly, "As for his poor craftsmanship, he wishes someone could cook for him every day, and he can only serve desserts."

"Yi Nie, Yi Nie, you are not kind." Kenli smiled wryly. Although what the other party said was the truth, but a big man can only make sweets, it would be a bit shocking to say it.

"Isn't it good to make sweets?" Ying Cui glanced at Yi Nie speculatively, and said quietly, "It's better than someone who can't even make sweets and prefers to eat sweets."

"..."

It drew a burst of hearty laughter from Kenley, which was full of teasing.

Dinner was a big pot of ragout.

The meat is all freshly ordered.

The vegetables are kept in the cupboard by Kenli. There are vegetables bought in the town a few days ago, and some are usually collected and dried in the mountains, all of which are authentic.

The three sat in a circle, with a large basin in the center.

The chicken nuggets and pork are overcooked, soaked in the tumbling soup until golden, and a layer of vegetable fungus surrounds the big pot, which is mixed with the meat flavor and overflows with fragrance.

"The taste of miso and spicy fruit?" Kenly's eyes lit up.

The ingredients are not new, but there is miso and spicy fruit to enhance the flavor. In addition, the cook has a good grasp of the heat and the timing of the tenderness of the ingredients, which makes every bite of this dish quite delicious. The stew also has a tongue-in-cheek taste.

Yi Nie ignored him and ate quickly, eating three big pieces of meat in a short while.

The thick soup has a spicy aroma that stimulates the appetite, warming the whole body in the winter snow.

The magic of food made the three of them speechless for a moment.

When he came back to his senses, the dishes had been swept away by the remnants of clouds.

It was completely dark outside the window.

The two sat on the sofa to digest food, while Ying Cui lay down in the room and fell asleep soundly.

"I understand why you are so happy outside." Kenli looked at Yi Nie, "Two months ago, I heard that you lost your sense of taste because of the grass plain. Are you okay?"

Yi Nie leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling, silent for a moment, "I don't know if it's okay, I can only taste the dishes he cooks, luckily he is still a top chef."

Kenli knew that the "he" naturally referred to Ying Cui, so he thought of the weird movements of the two of them when they ate glutinous rice cakes in the morning, "Skill?"

There was another silence, and Yi Nie frowned, "Probably." After finishing speaking, she stood up from the sofa, stretched her waist, and walked to the room, "I'm going to bed, I warn you first, if you dare to vent to Lin Yuan Brothers don’t even have to report the letter.”

Kenley smiled, "I'm really scared." After a pause, "Speaking of which, the preparations for the Harvest Festival in Karil City are coming up soon. Is it really okay if you don't go back to host?"

"Of course it won't be all right!" Yi Nie gritted her teeth, "You thought that violent woman Lin Yuan would let it go so easily. I'm on vacation for two months. If I don't go back, I guess she will issue a warrant."

"I've thought about the headline for tomorrow's morning paper." Yi Nie said sadly, "City Lord Karel is looking for a new love, and the beautiful adjutant hates because of love."

"Pfft, haha." Kenley laughed loudly, then realized that someone was asleep in the back room, and lowered his voice to muffle a laugh, "This is really Lin Yuan's style."

"Alright, don't talk about me." Yi Nie waved his hand, "It's you, why did someone come this afternoon and tell you to move out of here?"

"Afternoon?" Kenley's eyes turned cold, "It's just a piece of trash. Keshen Cotton Candy Company has changed its management, and a group of even more stupid ones have come."
