She Is Not a Witch Chapter 258: Roasted chestnuts and steak
In early winter, a thin layer of snow fell in the yard, and the windows were covered with frost and fog.
This is a house on the hillside of Yamazakura City. It is not far from the small town below the mountain and is relatively quiet. After the organization gradually got on the right track and the affairs were no longer heavy, Lorraine Hill moved here to live.
Because of its relatively high reputation, there will always be people visiting in the city, and even going out will attract a lot of attention. This once made Lorraine Hill a little distressed, and finally moved out altogether.
Of course she doesn't live alone. Vimiya also lives together, but they have different bedrooms.
This witch of the sea seldom participates in the affairs of the 'Fairywood' organization, and occasionally works part-time as a music teacher in the school.
"As a singer, participating in politics will become very strange. I want to make people feel a little more relaxed, and enjoying music also requires a relaxed state of mind." Vimiya and Lorraine Hill She explained that it was taught to her by a music teacher when she was in Emenas.
Although Lorraine Hill often suspects that the music teacher is Mrs. Filia, she can't deliberately ask.
Actually, Lorraine Hill himself was a little afraid of too cumbersome affairs, so he had even less motivation to involve Vimiya in it.
Now that the situation has stagnated and stabilized, this sage girl can finally sleep in. She doesn't have to worry about it like before. What if the armies from the west and north of the empire suddenly go south.
It was another afternoon, because it was a rest day, and Lorraine Hill was sitting by the fireplace reading a book in her nightgown. gold.
The armrest at hand was a little hot, and the teapot hanging in the fireplace was steaming, and the slight fragrance of tea slowly overflowed.
In the corner of the room, near the ceiling, a crow with blue and black feathers squatted on the black cushion the girl made for it, as if closing its eyes to rest.
As the tea gradually boiled, the sound of snoring water began to sound, and the sound of going downstairs came from the stairs beside it.
Vimiya, who was wearing a light blue and white dress, walked down the steps. She seemed to have just woken up. No need to guess, this lady witch must have been obsessed with composing music again last night. Finish.
"Good afternoon, Lorraine." Vimiya greeted, then came to the fireplace, lifted the teapot, poured tea for herself and Lorraine Hill, and then sat down by the warm fireplace.
Holding the teacup and taking a small sip, the witch lady seemed to have gradually gained some energy.
"Do you want something to eat, I think, there seems to be bread in the cupboard." Lorraine Hill put down the book, and warmed his cold fingers with a hot teacup.
"Don't be so troublesome. I'm going to the city later. A few music masters will come over today. They seem to want to ask me a lot of questions. It's inevitable that they will have dinner together."
Vimiya shook her head, the hair on the side of her bangs was still a little raised, it seemed that she didn't pay attention when she was sleeping.
"That's it, then I won't keep you." The girl nodded, then stood up, stretched her waist, and the silver hair fell on her shoulders.
Compared to the past, Lorraine Hill's long hair with double ponytails recently made her look younger, which always makes people associate with the goblins.
As for the 'Fairy Wood' organization, many people actually worship this girl as a 'mythical goblin'.
Although the so-called idol worship is clearly prohibited within the organization, many people can't help but think so, and there is no way around it.
Although Miss Cialando is beautiful, she often has a serious face on weekdays. Coupled with the complicated reputation of the Baska family in the past, many people in the organization are difficult to get close to.
The remaining high-level committee members, Geweier and Lorraine Hill, are more friendly.
Although Lu Bin seems to have a refined demeanor, internally, his sharp eyes and insights often make many subordinates walk on thin ice, fearing that something is not good enough and will be pointed out and criticized.
As for Gu Huasi, he looks very bold, but he never pays attention to administrative matters, and concentrates on military training within the organization, rarely appearing in the eyes of administrative personnel.
After being taught by Lorraine Hill, Ms. Geweier handles some organization affairs most of the time now, and only asks Lorraine Hill when encountering major events or difficult decisions.
She was originally intelligent and easy to get along with. She is the object of many people's admiration in today's administrative structure. You can often see people sending flowers to pursue her. Unfortunately, this young lady has never accepted her, and she always declines one by one. , which broke the hearts of many people.
Gu Yu
Ah, do you mean that someone will pursue Miss Jialan?
Maybe it was there at the beginning, but it gradually disappeared. That adult is so special and beautiful, like a mythical goblin far away from the world. Will be dismissed by the jokes of those around you.
After all, it is too far away, like an untouchable dream.
After tidying up her hair, Vimiya went out after re-doing it.
Lorraine Hill was the only one left in the house. She leaned on the sofa and pillows, flipping through the pages of legends and stories. In this way, it was time for dinner when the orange sunset slanted.
"Do something good." Lorraine Hill walked lightly to the clean kitchen, squatted down, and opened the wooden cabinet door.
Behind the grid-like cabinet doors are some recently picked vegetables, including green and yellow striped squash, plump potatoes, lush broccoli, tomatoes and more.
Lorraine Hill patted the hard pumpkin, shook his head, and thought about how he could eat it all by himself. Then his fingers slid across the surface of the tomato, pausing for a moment before picking up one.
There is still bread in the cupboard, well, if I cook again, there will be only leftovers, so I won't make another staple food tonight.
Afterwards, the silver-haired girl swept her eyes and found some chestnuts in a small bamboo basket in the corner. This was picked by her on the mountain some time ago, and this is all that is left now.
Lorland Hill liked to eat chestnuts in his previous life, especially chestnuts fried with sugar. The sweet, waxy and soft taste is still fresh in people's memory.
The only downside is that chestnuts are easy to break, and if they are not done well, it will be very troublesome to peel them.
Holding the chestnuts and tomatoes, Lorraine Hill first slashed the chestnuts with a small wind blade, and then put them into the pot, and then injected a small stream of fire to scurry in the pot, as if Like fire snakes, they roasted these chestnuts quickly, but not so hot that they burned them.
Our sage girls are always very good at fine-grained control of magic power.
When the chestnuts are almost ripe, the slits are gradually cracked, exposing the light yellow part, emitting a faint white gas, and there is a faint sweet smell in the kitchen.
Dissipate the fire, put the chestnuts still in the pot, Lorraine Hill took out the meat slices from the refrigerated copper box on the side, washed them first, quickly removed the moisture on the surface with the airflow, and then put them into another meat that had just smoked from the oil In a pot, it will be about 200-300 degrees at this time, which is just right.
Looking at the meat slices sizzling in the pot and starting to emit fragrance, Lorraine Hill took out two pieces of cut garlic and put them in, a burst of strange fragrance was released immediately, which greatly encouraged people's sense of smell.
Then, every ten seconds or so, the girl turns over the meat slices with a spatula, allowing both sides to be heated evenly, and a wonderful Maillard reaction occurs, which is also the key to the attractive taste of meat.
The surface of the meat gradually becomes golden and burnt, and the rich aroma begins to spread, and then watching the meat slices are almost cooked, Lorraine Hill sprinkles coarser large grains of salt, so that the salt grains have not completely melted evenly , presented the meat slices and placed them on a white porcelain plate.
Attractive color and aroma permeate immediately, delicious steak does not need too much seasoning, its own flavor is attractive enough.
Speaking of which, the girl learned this cooking method online before. At that time, she was working outside and didn't have much money. Occasionally, she would want to eat something good, so she would try to cook it by herself.
This is a method of frying steaks, but it is occasionally used on other meats, and it seems to work well, as long as the thickness of the steak is appropriate.
The reason for using large grains of salt~IndoMTL.com~ is because it tastes like a roller coaster, with ups and downs, and the taste is exciting, while fine salt will be very flat, either too salty or too bland.
After leaving her hometown, she, who didn't know how to cook, became a skilled little chef in just a few years. It's just that the food this self-taught girl cooks is not the taste of her hometown after all.
It is more complex and diverse, and all kinds of new things that even parents have never been exposed to.
After frying the steak, the girl sat at the dining table and served it with bread slices and tomato slices. After eating these, Lorraine Hill put some peeled light yellow chestnuts in front of the raven, and watched the little guy peck at them. After that, she took the remaining sweet chestnuts and sat back by the fireplace.
At this time, it was already dark outside, and the night was gradually falling.
Sitting by the warm fireplace, facing the firelight, Lorraine Hill flipped the yellowed pages. When he paused occasionally, he picked up a side of chestnuts and peeled them, eating them in small bites, just like living in winter Like a hamster in a small cave, spend a cozy and quiet night.
