Little Lord

Arriving at the spacious and bright dining room, Jiang Zhuozhuo sat down properly.

The bird’s stomach can’t fit in a few bites of delicious food, not even its round size can!
Of course, it needs to be replaced with a human stomach.

Anna led the other maids to bring up today's dinner.

There are also various kinds of wine here. Jiang Zhuozhuo studied various raw materials for winemaking and picked out crops that are suitable for making yeast and vinegar.

During this time, she has prepared many bottles and jars and put various ingredients into them in different categories, trying to wait for time magic to make them taste more palatable.

It is hard to imagine that in an era when people could even make glass, there was not even vinegar suitable for dipping dumplings, and no one could turn wheat into steamed buns, dumplings or bread!
Not to mention the soft and delicious cake.

The fruit that Jiang Zhuozhuo used to make natural yeast is called campanula.

It is a vine fruit used by locals to make wine. From a distance, it looks like a bunch of wind chimes, and a single fruit looks like a bell. When ripe, the skin is a very beautiful blue. This thing is plump and juicy, and the only drawback is... it is very sour.

Even the brewed wine is very sour and unpopular. Only sailors would take it with them on long voyages. It is said that drinking a few sips can enhance eyesight and help sailors observe the direction.

However, drinking too much may accelerate aging. In the past, there was a ship that was lost on the sea. The crew frequently drank sour wine to find the correct course. As a result, when they returned to the port safely, many people's faces were covered with wrinkles, and their lips were so dry that no blood could be seen.

There is a saying among sailors that "you can't drink more than three sips of sour wine a day", and they will only take it out and drink it when it is a critical moment when they need to enhance their eyesight.

When Jiang Zhuozhuo was about to use wind chime fruit to make yeast, Maine and the others looked worried, fearing that eating this thing would harm the body.

Only after realizing that the amount of yeast used to make dough would never exceed three mouthfuls did Maine stop Jiang Zhuozhuo from eating the wind chime fruit.

Today is the day when the first batch of successful natural yeast are unveiled. Jiang Zhuozhuo, who had been talking about steamed buns, bread and cakes, suddenly changed his mind and said he wanted to eat roujiamo.

Cook Helana learned how to make roujiamo pancakes under Jiang Zhuozhuo's guidance.

The process is still very complicated: knead the dough, let it rest, knead the dough again, let it rest again, then roll the dough into long strips, roll up the long strips, and finally use a rolling pin to roll it into small round cakes half a centimeter thick before it can finally be put on the pancake grid to bake.

The amounts of flour, yeast, animal fat and water must also be considered.

It can be said that the two small round cakes filled with meat filling that were now served to them were very laborious to make!

Maine, as the adjutant, also sat down to eat with Jiang Zhuozhuo. She was not as particular as Lao Lu, so she followed Jiang Zhuozhuo's example and picked up the bread and took a bite. She found the bread to be soft and delicious, and the salty and fragrant filling in the middle was very tasty, the most delicious thing she had ever tasted.

Old Lu saw that Jiang Zhuozhuo and the other man had started eating. Maine, the maid who originally looked like a puppet, now looked like she was about to cry because of the delicious food. She took her own roujiamo with doubt and took a bite.

After just one bite, he couldn't help but speed up his eating. His taste buds, which had tasted countless aristocratic delicacies, woke up and urged him to finish the roujiamo in his hand in an ungentlemanly manner.

Why only so much?
Their little lord is really too stingy!
But Old Lu was a man who cared a lot about his reputation, and it was not easy for him to say that he was not full when others were treating him, so he could only pick up the hot soup next to him and take a sip to cover it up.

The soup tastes good too. It seems to be cooked with some kind of seaweed. It has a light and sweet taste, which is very suitable for moistening the throat without being too overwhelming.

Jiang Zhuozhuo also held a bowl of soup.

This is the edible seaweed she carefully selected at the dock, which is a perfect substitute for the universal free soup - seaweed soup!

Jiang Zhuozhuo is really not picky about food. She can be fed with ordinary food. In her eyes, the cooking skills of the cafeteria chefs are very good.

It’s a pity that the food here is hard to describe and can’t really be considered “ordinary”, so she has to fend for herself.

Life is not easy, the little bird sighs!
Before Jiang Zhuozhuo could finish expressing his feelings about how difficult it was, the braised bones were served.

This is also the ingredient that Jiang Zhuozhuo personally chose, and it comes from an animal similar to a wild boar.

This kind of animal usually likes to stay in its nest and can lie down for three days after eating one meal, so its meat is plump and delicious. Unfortunately, it tastes a bit fishy and many people cannot eat it. It is usually made into jerky for famine prevention. Locals call it "Snoring Beast".

The hand-pulled braised bones in front of me are different, they smell delicious.

The presentation is also very good, the exposed leg bone is cleaned and very suitable for holding. The meat on top has already absorbed the sauce, the bright color is very tempting, and the tangy sauce aroma is even more unbridled to entice everyone to taste it.

It's nothing like the unpopular snoring beast meat that everyone imagines.

Our famous architect Mr. Luery, who is known for his pickiness and sharp tongue, once again acted very ungentlemanly... grabbed the braised bones in front of him with his hands and enjoyed this delicacy that he had never heard of or seen before.

In the presence of delicious food, face and grace mean nothing!
The meat on the hand-grabbed braised bones was tender and juicy, and melted in the mouth. Lao Lu finished all the meat that was easy to eat, but his stomach was still empty and he was not satisfied at all. It was just that the meat was so delicious that he ate it too fast and could not savor its taste carefully.

Old Lu learned how to suck the meat from the bones without any instruction. Only after he was done did he realize what he had done.

...How rude!
But why does the meat between the bones taste better than large chunks of meat?!
Old Lu quietly raised his head, only to see that Jiang Zhuozhuo, a small round bird, had also finished eating the meat on the whole bone and started...to eat the bone marrow?!

Old Lu didn't understand and was greatly shocked.

He looked at the bone in front of him that had been sucked clean, and experienced a fierce struggle in his heart: I am a master architect known throughout the empire, how could I do such a shameful thing? If my former enemies saw it, wouldn't they laugh at me for the rest of my life? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I, Lueri, have eaten all kinds of delicious food, so how could I not even let go of bone marrow!
But if the meat between the bones is so delicious, wouldn’t the bone marrow hidden deep in the bones be even more delicious?
Old Lu finally couldn't resist the temptation and picked up the braised bones and tried to take a bite.

The moment the bone marrow entered his mouth, Lao Lu felt that every one of his taste buds was conquered by the unique taste of fat and protein.

And it has a soft and smooth texture that is completely different from meat, as if it can slide straight into the stomach.

Old Lu couldn't help but take a few more bites and soon finished the whole braised bone.

Still feel unsatisfied.

Seeing that Jiang Zhuozhuo had no intention of asking for a second helping of food, Old Lu could only throw aside his reserve and ask, "Anything else? I want another helping."

Whether it's roujiamo or pork ribs with sauce, he can have another one!
Jiang Zhuozhuo said: "No more, can't eat anymore."

She glanced at the white hair on Old Lu's head, and thinking that he was a centuries-old old man, she immediately gave him some health advice: No matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat so much in one go!

Then she reminded Lao Lu that there was too much fat in the bone marrow, and next time he ate the braised bones, he should not suck the bone marrow.

Although not eating will at least take away half of the happiness in your bone marrow, people are more prone to high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high blood lipids as they age, so how can they double the fat intake in their diet?
Old Lu refused to admit that he had fallen in love with the ungentlemanly act of sucking bone marrow, and he was as stubborn as a dead duck: "I just tried it because I saw you eating it that way, it's not like I wanted to eat it myself. Don't do such a disrespectful thing when you return to the imperial capital, otherwise you will definitely become a laughing stock."

Jiang Zhuozhuo seemed to be thinking about something.

Ding!
Capture the key words and become a laughing stock!
It seems that Lao Lu cares a lot about his image.

Especially the image in the imperial capital!
Jiang Zhuozhuo's eyes suddenly lit up.

For some reason, Lao Lu suddenly had a bad feeling.

I always feel that this guy with those sparkling eyes is up to something.

Old Lu trusted his instincts very much and stood up to say goodbye on the spot: "Since dinner is over, I will go back first."

Jiang Zhuozhuo did not try to keep him.

Anyway, Lao Lu doesn't go anywhere. He is almost like a fixed NPC in the castle map and can always be found when needed.

What's more, she has already thought of a way to control Old Lu.

Guaranteed to work!

After Old Lu walked away, Jiang Zhuozhuo came to Maine and said excitedly, "I have a brilliant idea!"

Maine smiled and asked, "What's the idea?"

Jiang Zhuozhuo turned into a small round bird, flew excitedly to Maine's shoulder, and actively shared his new ideas: "I'll get some paint and paint a picture of 'Old Lu Sucking Bone Marrow'. Old Lu must obey me! Otherwise, I'll take the painting to the imperial capital for auction!"

She is an art student, and her major is just right for her!

It is absolutely possible to draw Old Lu vividly and lifelike, so that everyone who has seen him can recognize that it is him who is sucking on a bone!
As a great architect, he even eats the bone marrow when eating the braised bones with his hands!

As he spoke, the little round bird showed the arrogant smile he learned from Old Lu.

The whole bird looks extremely proud.

Maine: “…”

What a vicious little bird, it kills people without even using a knife!

If she could really draw such a picture, Mr. Luery would probably want to wipe himself out of the world.

Maine smiled and suggested, "Then your Highness must not let Mr. Luery know your plan until the painting is finished."

"Also, Your Highness needs to practice flying more, at least to be able to fly faster than Mr. Lueri."

——Otherwise you will get beaten for doing this!
Jiang Zhuozhuo:.

Maine is indeed a top student who graduated from the Royal Maid Academy with excellent grades (first place by a wide margin), and her suggestions are always so practical.

She must fly more often starting tomorrow!

As the saying goes, the only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed!
As long as I fly fast enough, no one can hit me!
Wow!
