I opened a clinic in the Abyss World

Chapter 28 The First Soup Dumpling in Another World

Steam bubbled and gurgled as it rose from the wooden pot lid. Charlotte, keeping track of the time, carried the pot upstairs.

It was already dark, and Vivian, who was hungry, had no heart to continue working. She followed Charlotte upstairs, smelling the rich aroma of meat in the air.

Even Anna, who was lazily sprawled on the cabinet, jumped down with a puzzled look on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she still jumped up the stairs.

Charlotte placed the pot on the table and waited a while before lifting the lid.

"Wow! Boss, you've gotten bigger!"

Vivian stood on tiptoe by the table, gazing at the plump, white buns in the pot. They had grown even larger than when they were first put in the pot, their full size and rich, meaty aroma making her swallow hard.

What kind of pastry is this? She's never seen it before!

Moreover, she hadn't eaten meat in so long, and the rich aroma of meat made her feel completely overwhelmed.

Glug glug…

My stomach started growling uncontrollably.

Charlotte smiled slightly. Not to mention Vivian, even he, who had been eating black bread for three days, couldn't help but swallow his saliva several times when he smelled the aroma of meat.

Compared to domestic pork, the wild boar hunted in the wilderness has a richer aroma.

Charlotte took a plate and placed one on Vivian's plate first, saying, "This is called a soup dumpling. It has a thin skin and is filled with soup. Be careful when eating it, first..."

"Ouch—Ugh! It's so hot!"

Before Charlotte could finish speaking, Vivian, who had just taken a bite of her bun, covered her mouth and took two steps back, tears glistening in her eyes.

Look how hungry the child is!

"You can't rush eating soup dumplings. You have to take it one step at a time. These freshly cooked dumplings are still piping hot inside their thin skins. If you take a bite, you might burn your mouth." Charlotte smiled and picked up a dumpling for herself. After a short while, she gently opened a small hole in the top side of the dumpling with her teeth, and steam immediately rushed out.

Charlotte gently blew on the cool air and tried to sip a small mouthful of soup.

Ouch... It's not hot!

I can't lose face in front of a young girl.

Once your taste buds regain their senses, the rich aroma of meat in the broth immediately bursts forth on your tongue, fresh and delicious, giving your taste buds, which have been dull for a long time, a joyful experience.

Mmm! That's the taste!

  

Charlotte's eyes lit up, and ignoring the still slightly hot soup, she couldn't resist taking another sip.

With improved food, life in the other world seemed less unbearable.

Watching Charlotte engrossed in eating her steamed buns, Vivian swallowed hard and silently cast a healing spell on herself, instantly restoring her scalded mouth.

She subconsciously licked her lips, the delicious taste of the remaining soup startling her, and she couldn't help but lower her head and take another bite of the bun.

The soup had cooled down a bit, and with one bite, the thin, chewy noodles filled with broth flooded her mouth.

The rich aroma of meat assaulted her senses, the deliciousness was so direct, it exploded on her taste buds, like a wild boar savagely charging into her mouth, leaving her feeling overwhelmed.

The heat of the soup was completely masked by the delicious taste, and the slight pain was completely ignored.

The soup slid down my throat and I slurped it down in no time.

At this moment, she forgot all the aristocratic etiquette she had been taught since childhood; all she could think about was the soup dumpling in front of her.

I finished most of the soup, then took a bite of the bun.

The chewy noodles wrap around a meatball soaked in juicy goodness. It's fresh, fragrant, tender, and smooth to the taste. It's not greasy at all—it's absolutely wonderful!

Vivian quickly finished a steamed bun, then subconsciously licked the remaining soup off the plate.

When she looked up again, her gaze towards Charlotte had completely changed—shock, confusion, and admiration!

How come he's a doctor and such a good cook?!

It's worth noting that studying medicine consumed almost all of her time.

The man in front of them was once considered a god by medical students.

"Eat a couple more if you like. I need to use this pot later, so I probably won't be able to eat here tomorrow." Charlotte noticed Vivian's confusion. He really didn't know how to answer that question. He could only say...it's just a hobby, I guess?

Upon hearing this, Vivian quickly handed over the plate, took a steamed bun, and began to eat it with relish.

"Meow……"

The white cat arrived at some point, squatted at the doorway watching the two of them, meowed once, and then arrogantly looked away when Charlotte cast her gaze upon it.

"Come here and let me pat your head, and I'll give you a steamed bun," Charlotte said with a smile, gesturing towards the meat bun on her plate.

This cat is a complete waste of his time; it's been three days and he hasn't even been able to touch it once.

Even though Charlotte is lame, even if she had another leg, she probably still wouldn't be able to catch it.

"Anna, come here quickly, the steamed buns are super delicious!" Vivian said to the white cat with her mouth full.

Anna glanced at the buns on Charlotte's plate, then at Charlotte herself, and unconsciously sniffed the air. Then, she casually strolled over to the edge of the table and came to Charlotte's feet.

Charlotte looked at the cat, which was looking around and deliberately ignoring him, and couldn't help but find it a little funny. This cat was quite the drama queen.

After waiting a while, seeing that Charlotte wasn't petting its head and was still slurping her bun, Anna finally couldn't stand it anymore and looked up at him, barking.

"Oh, you're here. Why didn't you say so earlier?" Charlotte reached out and stroked its head; the pure white fur felt extremely smooth.

This cat was raised in a poor family like Charlotte's, where people often went hungry, yet it still has such beautiful fur, which shows that it has a very good lineage.

Petting a cat is indeed very therapeutic. Charlotte petted it for a while before taking an empty plate, putting a soup dumpling in Anna's mouth, cutting it into pieces with a knife, and placing it in front of her.

The rich aroma of meat made Anna's eyes light up. She lowered her head and licked the broth, making smacking sounds.

When eating meat, they couldn't help but make gurgling noises.

They were completely absorbed in eating.

This was the most satisfying meal Charlotte had since she transmigrated to the other world.

It was probably the most delicious meal Vivian and Anna had ever eaten while they were trapped in the abyss.

"I'll take care of washing the dishes." After dinner, Vivian volunteered to do the washing.

Charlotte was more than happy to oblige.

Who could resist a maid who would willingly wash the dishes?

Anna squatted on the chair, licked her lips, and looked Charlotte up and down as if she were seeing him for the first time.

"Little guy, be good from now on, and I'll make you other delicious food." Charlotte stepped forward, rubbed its head, and scratched its chin.

Anna instinctively wanted to escape, but she held back when she heard about the delicious food.

She looked just like a kidnapped young wife.

Charlotte smiled and carried the new pot downstairs.

Although it was already dark, it was still early for a night owl like him, and he planned to study the formula for the moisturizing essence some more.

While going downstairs, Charlotte opened her attribute panel and took a look:
