Chapter 239 Aphrodite (5)

In the past week, Hephaestus brought the kitchen utensils and weapons he had made to Ximen's residence.

After entering the forest, Hephaestus was attracted by a large tree house in front of him.

"It's so beautiful here too." He was surprised.

Hephaestus felt that the tree house in front of him was more beautiful than the cold palace on the mountain.

Ningfu, who was planning to go to the salt fields by the sea, saw the male god appearing at the station, but she didn't know the origin of Hephaestus for the time being.

The goddess of sea salt, Ssotho, came to Hephaestus:
"Dear god, hello, I don't know your name, are you here to find the goddess of love and beauty?"

Hephaestus, who heard Ssoto's voice, reacted and smiled naively:
"Yes, I am the god of fire and craftsmen, Hephaestus."

"I made an agreement with the Goddess of Love and Beauty to bring her the kitchen utensils and weapons she needs. Can you please guide me?"

"I see, please follow me."

Ssoto decided to take Hephaestus to meet Xining first, and then go to deal with the sea salt in Yantian.

When Hephaestus saw Xi Ning, Xi Ning was busy spinning clothes.

During this week, Xi Ning has gained a new godhead, 【Textile】.

Hephaestus was curious about the loom in Lime's hand, and the spinning machine that was set aside.

He sighed from the bottom of his heart for the delicate craftsmanship of Xi Ning.

"Goddess, His Royal Highness Hephaestus is here to look for you." Si Suoto came to Xi Ning's side and told her.

Xi Ning stopped what she was doing, quickly stood up from her chair, and walked towards Hephaestus:
"Sorry to keep you waiting, my friend."

She was busy with work just now and didn't notice Hephaestus' arrival for the time being.

Si Suoto, who was on the side, nodded slightly at Xi Ning, and backed away, not disturbing Xi Ning.

Does the goddess have friends at the level of the main god? This is a good thing.

Making good friends with a powerful god means that His Royal Highness Aphrodite will get a powerful helper in the future.

Xi Ning led Hephaestus into the tree house, and he immediately put the kitchen utensils and weapons he had made on the ground.

A large pile of exquisite kitchen utensils and weapons on the ground made Xiing amazed.

And the decoration inside the house surprised Hephaestus even more:
"Aphrodite, your hands are really dexterous. In an ordinary forest, there are many exquisite tree houses and exquisite items."

In the past, Hephaestus confidently believed that no god could match his craft.

Unexpectedly, his friend was so outstanding, and his dexterous hands were not inferior to him.

"Thank you for your compliment, Hephaestus, I am even more surprised by your forging skills."

Among the many gods, Hephaestus's forging technology is unique in the god world.

In order to thank Hephaestus for bringing him exquisite kitchen utensils and weapons, Xi Le decided to make a meal and let him taste food that he had never eaten before:
"Hephaestus, I recently developed some unique food, and the taste is pretty good. I want to share it with you as my friend."

"Very happy."

Hephaestus was a little curious about the food made from lemons.

The tables of the gods' banquets are often filled with sweet fruits, nectar, wine and other foods, and he is tired of eating them.

It would be nice if there was a chance for a change of taste.

Xi Ning asked nymphs to go fishing and shellfish at the beach, and arranged some nymphs to pick wild vegetables.

On the land, Demeter, the goddess of agriculture, is performing her duties, and many fruits and vegetables have appeared.

"It would be even more perfect if I could obtain the plant-oriented life-side godhead." Xi Ning began to daydream.

Hephaestus originally wanted to help Xi Ning, but Xi Ning refused him.

Cilem is still in front of Hephaestus, performing a fire by drilling wood.

She has no godhead related to fire, and cannot make fire out of thin air.

Xi Ning made fire by drilling wood with one hand, and Hephaestus thought he was wrong:
"Aphrodite, how did you do it?"

He was surprised by the flames that appeared in front of his eyes. Xi Le's operation was completely beyond his understanding.

"This method is called drilling wood to make fire. At the beginning, I wanted to warm myself."

"It's a pity that I haven't been recognized by the laws of the world, and I can't get the priesthood related to fire or heat."

"By coincidence, I came up with the idea of ​​drilling wood to make fire, which greatly improved my life."

Xi Ning explained casually. She couldn't say that she learned it from books.

While the two were talking, the nymphs came back with sea fish, shellfish, vegetables and fruits.

The only seasoning that can be used for lemons is salt for the time being, which cannot perfectly demonstrate their cooking skills.

She stir-fries in a wok that Hephaestus built for herself, then steams sea fish and shellfish, and grills the fish over a flame.

When Lime brought the finished dishes in front of him, Hephaestus felt that the food in front of him tasted very fragrant.

It was the first time he saw food made in an iron pan.

When Hephaestus bit a piece of grilled fish, the smell of grilled fish exploded in his mouth, arousing his appetite.

Steamed sea fish and shellfish, Hephaestus is also very fond of.

"The taste of the food is delicious. Thank you for your hospitality, my friend."

Hephaestus picked up the grilled fish in the bowl with a spoon and put it into his mouth one by one. He didn't forget to use the shovel to put the steamed sea fish and shellfish into the bowl.

After being a god for such a long time, he felt respected for the first time.

That was the respect that Father God Mother God never gave him.

Xi Ning herself ate with chopsticks: "Thank you for your compliment."

Lime itself feels that the taste is ordinary and cannot be compared with the food of the 21st century.

Chili, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vegetable oil, various spices, etc. It takes a lot of time to get these things.

It is basically impossible for the current Lemon to make all kinds of seasonings, because she does not have a plant-oriented life-side godhead.

At present, most of the godheads related to plant growth are held in the hands of Demeter, the goddess of agriculture.

Without her permission, it is unlikely that Xi Ning would acquire the plant-oriented life godhead.

Eating ordinary-tasting food every day, I almost vomited lemons.

When the lemon and Hephaestus were almost full, a goddess who happened to pass by the forest walked in following the smell.

The two gods who heard the voice turned their heads and looked over.

Xi Ning's eyes widened: "Why is Demeter here? This is too coincidental."

I was still thinking about how to get in touch with the other party, no, the opportunity came.

"Hello, beautiful goddess." Xi Ning put down the bowl and chopsticks and greeted softly.

Hephaestus put down the ceramic bowl in his hand, met Demeter's sight, and stood up.

"Sorry to disturb your party. I was attracted by the smell of food, so I take the liberty to disturb you."

"Please forgive my impoliteness, I am the goddess of agriculture, Demeter."

Demeter's gaze fell on the food on the table.

There were also two whole grilled fish on the table, which had not been eaten.

Xi Ning felt a little embarrassed, since they were all leftovers, Xi Ning couldn't invite Demeter over to eat.

Mommy, someone help me!
"I am the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite." Xi Ning introduced herself.

Even though Xi Ning had already introduced herself at the banquet of the gods, Xi Ning had no private communication with Demeter at that time.

Demeter smiled slightly:
"Can I taste the food on the table? I'm curious about its taste. There must be something different about the food that Hephaestus likes to eat."

Hephaestus saw Xi Ning's embarrassment, and spoke first:
"I'm already full. The food made by Aphrodite tastes great. It's the best food I've ever eaten."

Now, Xi Ning couldn't keep pretending to be dead: "I hope you like it, goddess of agriculture."

Demeter sat on the wooden chair, and Xi Le brought her a clean ceramic bowl and a spoon.

"Please take it slowly." Xi Ning smiled.

Demeter was also polite, put one of the grilled fish into a bowl, picked off the fish with a spoon, and put it into his mouth mouthful like Hephaestus.

After eating one after another, Demeter didn't have any airs of a goddess.

"It's really delicious, thank you for your generous hospitality, beautiful Aphrodite." Demeter thanked.

Demeter is not a goddess who is greedy for petty gains. In order to thank Xining for her hospitality, she gave Xining an olive tree and young rosemary.

Looking at the plants Demeter gave her, Xi Ning's eyes were full of surprises.

The olive tree and the spice rosemary, with these two things, the lemon will be more delicious in the future.

Lime has already begun to imagine the scene of making olive oil.

"Thank you for your gift, Goddess of Agriculture, I like it very much." Xi Ning was really happy.

After Hephaestus and Demeter tasted the food made by the lemon, they said goodbye to the lemon.

Xi Ning arranged for Ningfu to clean up the dishes, and she planted two plants herself:
"You have to grow up quickly."

After planting two plants, Xi Ning went to the beach to fish again, and she planned to make small dried fish and fish sauce.

It was another week, and Ximen successfully produced dried fish and fish sauce.

Ningfu beside her was attracted by the smell of dried fish, and fell in love with the taste of dried fish one after another.

When Ximen came to watch the growth of olive trees and rosemary while eating small dried fish, he was shocked by the scene in front of him:

"What's going on here? The olive tree and rosemary are fully grown and mature in a week? Have the two plants been blessed by Demeter?"

Apart from being blessed by the Goddess of Agriculture, Xi Ning couldn't think of any other possibility.

[Don't think about it, these two plants were indeed blessed by Demeter. ] Pudding answered in the affirmative.

"That's too sweet. As expected of a goddess known for her motherhood, she's too careful." Xi Ning gave Demeter a higher rating.

Lime asked Nymph to pick ripe olives and prepare to make olive oil.
