Chapter 54 The inescapable fragrance
"coming!"
Half an hour later, Lorne, who was busy in the kitchen, took out a tray and placed several steaming pottery bowls in front of the long-awaited diners.
As soon as it is served, the golden soup made from big bones in the bowl is filled with a rich aroma; a few pieces of juicy sauced beef are spread on top, which makes people can't help but increase their appetite; it is as thin as cicada wings. White radish slices and a few green tender leaf vegetables float up and down, responsible for relieving greasiness; chopped parsley as a seasoning is sprinkled on top instead of chopped green onion to further enhance the aroma; and the crystal clear noodles like ribbons dance in the bowl, adsorbing the Thick beef soup base…
The all-round stimulation of color and aroma made the waiting diners full of anticipation. They couldn't wait to take out the noodles and take a bite. The tenacity of the noodles and the deliciousness of the soup intertwined in the mouth, making people almost unable to stop.
Little Medusa and Hestia have experienced this novelty. Fortunately, Athena and Niki tried this new type of food for the first time. Their eyes lit up and their taste buds were conquered by it.
The fork in his hand that almost never stops is the best proof.
Soon, the two bowls of beef noodles with full color, flavor and flavor were eaten up by the two gods.
As her eldest niece put down her fork and sat up straight, Hestia couldn't wait to step forward and ask how she felt.
“How was it? Not bad, right?”
"good…"
Athena gave this a neither salty nor indifferent comment, then turned her head slightly and her eyes fell on someone behind her.
Lorne, who has evolved into a human spirit, noticed the slight expression of the goddess of wisdom, and immediately understood it. He diligently took the bowl away, with a very doggy smile on his face.
“The sample must be insufficient. I will serve another bowl for you to taste carefully. I will also ask you to give more detailed suggestions for improvement later.”
"Um."
Having reached such a step, Athena maintained her elegance and nodded calmly, but the admiration and satisfaction in her eyes could not be concealed.
"I also want!"
Nikki next to her also handed over the pottery bowl that she had emptied out, with a look on her face that she was still unsatisfied.
“It's all there, it's all there!”
Lorne promised again and again, turned around and walked into the kitchen, filling a full bowl for each of the two gods with explosive fighting power. At the same time, he also filled the bowls for Hestia and Little Medusa, who were also about to bottom out. , to complement the soup base and noodles.
In this situation, the emphasis is on treating everyone equally.
At least, on the surface, there needs to be no room for fault.
In order to prevent the meal from being too monotonous, Lorne went into the kitchen to cook some dishes that he and Hestia had either improved or tinkered with, and presented them to the table one after another.
Under his attentive service, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and both parties at the table enjoyed their meals to the fullest.
Looking at the joyous scene in the living room, Lorne, who was tense in his heart, finally relaxed and took a moment to serve himself a bowl of noodles to fill his somewhat empty stomach.
The origin of European noodle culture can be traced back to Italy and Greece. At that time, noodles had become a popular food, used not only for breakfast and lunch, but also for dinner.
But now, this kind of thing is probably still in its infancy at best.
As Lorne from the future, although he is not very knowledgeable in cooking, at least he has relatively complete cooking knowledge and food experience because of his long-term solitary life.
Fermentation, seasoning, cooking, and frying are cooking techniques and dietary reforms that have taken thousands of years to gradually take shape. Each of them is the crystallization of knowledge gained from countless human trials and errors.
Taking these to the age of gods, when human civilization has just started, is simply a dimensionality reduction attack.
Even if the gods are used to eating cherished delicacies from the mountains and seas, they are not immune to delicacies they have never experienced before.
In front of me, the goddess of wisdom, who was still uninterested at first, but now is completely "really fragrant", is the best proof.
Three quarters of an hour later, the four of them were full and lazily leaning on their chairs. Lorne cleared the table with great discernment and presented the after-dinner snacks and fruit juice. The main focus was five-star service.
Following Hestia's strong recommendation, Athena scooped up a spoonful of homemade yogurt with raisins and sweet almonds, put it into her mouth to taste, her face showed satisfaction, and her faint eyes fell on the "chef" in the kitchen. On the body, thoughtfully.
Now, she probably understood why her aunt suddenly turned against her and wanted to keep this little bastard.
Although the goddess of the stove does not care about worldly affairs, she is not without desires and desires.
Her biggest hobby is to find some fun related to the home and kitchen to pass the time.
Cooking, planting, housework, and brewing are all her areas of interest.
And it is simply harder than climbing to the sky to find similar like-minded people among demigods and gods who generally pursue power and authority.
But coincidentally, a guy who met the requirements almost perfectly broke into her home. Not only did he show excellent cooking skills and always refreshing food insights, he even managed the house and served guests in a way that made people feel at home. high.
With such a follower, at least the quality of life can be greatly improved visible to the naked eye.
Let alone the goddess of the stove who is in charge of the house, even Athena herself can't help but feel a little moved.
“Honestly, I feel a little regretful now. I should have brought you to Olympus earlier if I had known better...”
The goddess of wisdom put down the empty bowl and looked faintly at the demigod candidate she had carefully trained.
Hestia, who was selling hard next to her, couldn't help but froze the smile on her face, and began to worry about gains and losses.
“Compared with Olympus, it seems that the city of Knossos should be called your private territory. Now, won't I serve in your palace?”
Facing Athena's scrutiny, Lorne smiled calmly.
“You can come anytime you want.”
"Too."
Athena nodded, seemingly satisfied with this statement.
Seeing that her eldest niece seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter any further, Hestia let out a long sigh of relief.
After eating and drinking, Athena stood up from her seat, stretched her waist lazily, turned her head and looked at Lorne who was following Hestia to clean up the house, her eyebrows were raised, and a subtle smile appeared on her face.
“After dinner, why not... practice?”
“It is not advisable to exercise strenuously after a full meal!”
Hearing this, Lorne immediately and sternly refused, with a "thinking about you" expression, while the danger bell in his heart kept ringing crazily.
Fight with you? joke!
Looking at the unscrupulous expression on your face, you have clearly dug a hole and are waiting for me to jump out, so that you can take the opportunity to beat me up openly.
Last time, just because I stole a few pieces of your tribute and made up a few words behind your back, you made me lie on the ground for seven or eight days, and my buttocks still hurt.
Do you dare to say that you invited me to sparring this time, not because you were rejected, you lost face, and you wanted to take revenge?
Hehe, I have already seen through your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, you narrow-minded woman!
Lorne thought about the dozen rose thorns that were stuck in his **** that night, and couldn't help but secretly curse.
