The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 76 Magic Poison Soup
Moran planned to treat the little witches to local delicacies from their home planet, Blue Star. Hot pot was the perfect choice for such a gathering.

A piece of beef, a piece of lamb, and some venison too. This fish is also good; it can be made into fillets for hot pot. It's a pity they don't have duck blood, duck intestines, or beef tripe... Get a beef bone to make a clear broth, and don't forget the spicy broth, red chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and garlic. Also, a slightly spicy tomato broth. If the broth is good, you won't even need dipping sauce... And some vegetables too: winter melon, mushrooms, and cabbage...

Luckily, she brought two baskets, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to fit them all.

Driven by an intense desire to levitate, I walked and stopped intermittently, finally managing to move my things to the dormitory.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and rolled up his sleeves to get to work.

She's listless when carrying a shopping basket, but full of energy when cooking to entertain friends—that's her.

The experience of being invited last time was so profound that Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph all chose to arrive early this time.

Moran was still washing the vegetables when they arrived.

The first thing to do when you enter is to look at the kitchen.

"Don't worry! I didn't use any magic today!" Moran said helplessly, "I'll make sure you all get a proper meal!"

"Haha! That's good, that's good!" Lilith laughed awkwardly. "Is there anything we can do to help?"

Moran didn't mince words: "Wash the vegetables, chop the vegetables, peel the garlic... which one do you want to do?"

"I can chop vegetables, I'm a master with a knife!" Lilith boasted that her cooking skills were better than her two junior classmates, so she chose the most difficult task.

“I’ll wash the vegetables!” Sylph said.

Vasita wrinkled her nose: "Then let's peel the garlic!"

"Alright!" Moran took a small bag of garlic and a large bowl: "Vashida, these are yours, peel them all."

"All...all of it?" Vasita almost thought she had misheard. "What kind of dish is this? You want so much garlic?!"

With so much garlic, the smell must be incredibly strong!
"This is only a small amount of garlic?" Moran said. "If you're making garlic dishes, you'll need much more garlic!"

Three faces were shocked: "In your previous life's world, was eating garlic a common practice? There were even dishes made specifically with garlic!"

"Don't worry! It's absolutely delicious. It wouldn't taste right without this!" Moran said.

The little witches were skeptical.

"Senior, make sure to slice the meat thinly!" Moran reminded Lilith again.

"Is this okay?"

"Make it thinner."

"Is it okay?"

"Thinner still. The thinner the better!"

"now what?"

"That's it, that's it! Perfect!"

The senior's knife skills are indeed quite good.

Although Lilith didn't understand, she expressed her respect.

With their help, Moran began preparing the broth for the hot pot.

First, prepare the beef bone broth base and the slightly spicy tomato broth base. Also, peel the garlic on Vasida's side. Now you can start frying the red oil spicy broth base.

With nothing more to do, Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph huddled around the two prepared pots, muttering, "Is this bone broth and tomato soup?"

"should be!"

"Is today a soup feast?"

"Are you sure we don't need to add some mushrooms or potatoes?" "Moran said no... cough cough!"

A super pungent smell burst out of the kitchen, assaulting their eyes and noses, both spicy and numbing.

Lilith covered her mouth and nose, coughing as she said, "Moran... cough cough, what kind of magic are you using now?"

Amidst the fumes and smoke, a figure calmly flipped a spatula: "Bear with it, this is how the red chilies and Sichuan peppercorns look when they first go into the pan. They'll be fine in a little while."

"Phew~ So it wasn't a magic attack!" Vasita, who had been hiding under the table, stood up.

"Moran, did you put that whole basket of red peppers into the oil?" Sylph saw a familiar empty basket on the stove.

Previously, it was filled with red chili peppers, the spiciest kind.

"What?!" Vasita and Lilith, startled, rushed to the stove amidst the fumes. Looking into the pot, they saw a vibrant red liquid and their vision went black: "My witch! What is this?"

“The soup base!” Moran said, adding garlic as she did so.

Vasita took a step back, the lethal amount of chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and garlic mixed together: "Is this really food, or some deadly potion?"

“Of course!” Moran was very confident about this: “If you really can’t handle spicy food, there are two other soup bases to choose from, but this spicy soup base is the essence.”

After a while, Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph sat at the dining table, staring at the dishes on the table in disbelief.

There was a huge variety of vegetables: sliced ​​beef, sliced ​​lamb, sliced ​​venison, sliced ​​fish, mushrooms, winter melon, chrysanthemum greens... but unfortunately, they were all raw.

The only three things steaming were three pots: one with bubbling red oil, one with a light white broth, and one somewhere in between.

That bright red, greasy one looks even scarier than the potions in the Poison Witch's cauldron.

The aroma during cooking is so strong it can bring tears to your eyes and make it hard to breathe; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Moran's magical poison soup.

But the hostess of the dinner, Miss Moran, said that dinner was ready and we could begin.

"No, it's really safe to eat?" Lilith still couldn't believe it. "How can we eat it if it's all raw?"

Vasida's understanding of Moran has become distorted.

Is this the specialty food of Moran's previous life? What kind of food was in that world, or was it a desert?
But the fried rice Moran made before was really delicious!
Could this be Moran's prank?
Sylph lowered her head, frantically searching for an excuse to slip away.

Moran, however, made a move. She picked up two sticks, grabbed a slice of beef, dipped it in the horrifying hot pot of chili oil, and then placed it on Lilith's plate: "It's cooked now! Try it!"

Lilith:!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

Has she offended Moran recently?

I couldn't even get a discount on her cards!

Seeing her senior's tense expression, Moran reluctantly picked up a slice of beef, put it in her mouth, and her eyes immediately narrowed: "Awesome! It's been so long since I've had a proper hot pot!"

This is a classic hot pot base recipe that she found in her memories of Blue Star. Although some of the seasonings were not available in the academy and some parts were removed, the flavor was still quite delicious.

She hadn't eaten it since the world underwent a major upheaval in her previous life.

"It's really delicious, spicy and flavorful, you have to try it!" Moran recommended again.

She didn't show favoritism; she also cooked a piece of meat for Vasita and Sylph, urging them to try it.

Seeing that she had eaten it all herself, Lilith gritted her teeth, picked up the meat with her fork, and fed it to her.

Vasita and Sylph gasped and stared intently at her.

As expected of a senior student, you really have courage!

Today's update will be a little late, expected to be by 9 PM at the latest.
