Greetings, Mister Principal: New dishes
The restaurant decoration is very simple, with a decorative wine cabinet and a transparent window on the other side. A rectangular table is covered with a lace tablecloth, surrounded by four mahogany chairs, and three sets of tableware are neatly placed. At the table, waiting for the meal.
In the center of the table, toasted bread sprinkled with garlic powder, a small bowl of butter, a large pot of steaming beef stew with potatoes, and a colorful vegetable salad were placed.
Reiner washed his hands and sat on a chair.
While still thinking about Percival's wife Lysa's weird cooking method just now, Reiner felt a pair of eyes staring at him.
"Are you Mr. Thief?"
A child with a milky voice was lying against the wall, looking at him.
She has chestnut-colored curly hair and looks quite similar to her mother. The child is wearing a small skirt with a bear pattern. She is holding a cloth toy in her hand and staring at Reiner warily.
"Yes, I am a heart-stealing thief who specializes in stealing the evil in people's hearts."
Reiner felt a little amused, so he joked with the other party.
"Stealing, heart-stealing monster thief! I always feel so powerful!"
The child's face was full of shock. It seemed that this was a setting she had never heard of before.
"Can I also become a heart-stealing thief? How can I become a heart-stealing thief!!?"
She asked again. Just as Reiner was thinking about how to fool this little guy, he saw Percival walking in with a set of tableware in his hand.
"Yakko, don't scare the guests."
Percival put down the tableware, then picked up his daughter Akko and put her on the chair opposite Reiner.
"Dad, I already have six taxes and am an adult. Don't always treat me like a child."
Yako was quite unconvinced and said with his chest raised.
"Yes, yes, you are already six years old, so you need to be polite like an adult, do you understand."
The tone of Percival's speech at this time was completely like a different person, gentle and gentle, as if he was carefully protecting some treasure.
"It's time to enjoy dinner."
Lesa also walked into the restaurant carrying the pot of food she had just stewed, and placed it on the table mat in the center.
Reiner saw that it was a pot of red soup, in which some vegetable branches and leaves could be seen. There was a faint white liquid floating on the surface of the soup. Judging from the smell, it should be some kind of sweet and sour taste. soup, but thinking of Lysa's weird cooking method just now, he frowned and felt that things were not that simple.
“This is Stanley red cabbage soup. Chop the red cabbage, onions and carrots from Stanlia, add several kinds of peppers, add it to the stewed beef soup, and finally add some ham. Just mix the granules and cream evenly."
Lesa smiled and explained for Reiner.
"At the last exchange meeting, Mrs. Parmar brought back some local specialty red vegetables from her trip to Stanlia. I made them according to the recipe. I don’t know how they taste."
Stanlia is exposed to the cold north wind all year round, and the people there have also developed a tough folk custom. It is said that every Stanlian will be thrown into the cold forest when they reach adulthood, until they hunt with bare hands. It takes a brown bear to go home. It is also said that due to the low temperature in Stanlia, people can only rely on drinking to keep warm. The common drink for people there is hot wine, and even a seven-year-old child can drink a large glass of it. .
In short, Stanlia’s dishes should be the type that use spicy and exciting flavors to ease the harsh cold of winter.
This is indeed cooked in strict accordance with the recipe, which can be seen by stirring the soup with a timer pocket watch.
Reiner thought to himself when he saw Lesa filling four bowls of beetroot soup with a wooden spoon and distributing it in front of everyone.
Looking at the deep red soup like blood, the mixture of boiled red cabbage and onions, the clear-textured beef and minced ham in the bowl, Reiner swallowed and glanced secretly at himself. Next to Parcival.
I saw the director sitting up straight, picking up a silver spoon and taking a sip of beetroot soup.
Percival's expression did not change at all. He scooped another spoonful of beef, put it into his mouth, chewed it, and then swallowed it.
Still without any expression.
"Well, since this is my first time making it, I'm still worried about whether the seasoning is correct."
Lisa looked at her husband expectantly, as if there was a light shining in her eyes.
"Well, it tastes good, full of exotic flavor."
Percival said firmly, showing a smile.
"Really or fake?"
Reiner thought to himself, picked up the spoon and put a mouthful of soup into his mouth.
For a moment, Reiner felt countless fireworks exploding on the tip of his tongue.
According to Lesa, several kinds of chili peppers combine to create an extremely spicy taste, which penetrates into the soup and brings an extremely exciting experience. Among them, the addition of cream makes this soup that is enough to instantly transform people from cold winter to summer. The spicy soup of the day went even further. Just a few seconds after the soup was in his mouth, Reiner's face turned red and he felt a wave of heat rising from his stomach, making him sweat on his back. His whole body felt like he was in a scorching desert.
To put it simply, this pot of soup is not unpalatable, but the simple spiciness has covered up all other flavors. This is not a red cabbage soup, but a pepper soup, a party of peppers!
"How was it?"
Lesa looked at Reiner expectantly.
"Well, the taste is a bit, a bit exciting to me."
Reiner silently put down the spoon and quietly pushed the soup bowl away from him.
"What a shame."
Lesa was still smiling. She picked up the spoon and gave her daughter Akko a mouthful of red cabbage soup.
"This is so awesome!"
Yako drank the red cabbage soup with a smile on his face, showing no signs of discomfort.
No.
Reiner glanced at Percival again and saw that he had finished the beetroot soup in the bowl one mouthful after another, leaving not even a trace of residue.
And her wife Lysa immediately served him another bowl of beetroot soup with a smile on her face.
Are all this family monsters?
Reiner couldn't help but sigh~IndoMTL.com~ He looked at each other and saw the slight helplessness in the mage's eyes, and immediately understood the reason.
Being the head of a family is really tough.
Reiner felt some sympathy for Percival. After that, he gingerly took a piece of garlic powder bread, spread some butter on it, and put it into his mouth with a somewhat heroic aura.
"..."
Unexpectedly, the bread tastes pretty good.
Reiner cut another small piece of beef stew with potatoes. The taste of this dish was quite normal.
As for the vegetable salad, there is nothing to say about the taste, it just tastes like an ordinary salad.
Such a comparison highlights the weirdness of the Stanlian cabbage soup at the beginning.
So, how is this pot of red cabbage soup made?
Reiner doesn't understand again.
