93. Trip to Kaiji Island 【6】
General Thunder and Lightning raised his jade hand slightly, and a ball of light formed from thunder elements flew into the air to illuminate the cave. After seeing the situation of the cave clearly, she sat on the ground and said, "Do whatever you want."
"good."
Zhou Ze took out the existing ingredients from his luggage and started to light a fire to cook, while the smoke from the burning wood curled up.
"General, do you want to try spicy food this time?"
"spicy?"
General Thunderbolt was a little confused.
For a long time, most of Zhou Ze's dishes have been adjusted to suit the taste of General Thunder, so they are generally lighter, and some are even specially made into desserts.
Nowadays, it is rare to have the opportunity to play in the wild. Of course, General Thunder and Lightning should try something new.
Zhou Ze took out the Jueyun pepper that he had exchanged from Ying from his luggage, carefully cut off a bit and handed it to General Thunder.
"This is spicy, you can try it."
General Thunder and Lightning looked down, his eyes full of doubts.
Picking up the Jueyun pepper in his hand, Zhou Ze gently licked it with his tongue.
"General, you can try it like this. If you don't like it, I won't add it."
General Thunder and Lightning followed suit, a slightly spicy feeling spread from the tip of his tongue towards his mouth, and General Thunder and Lightning's eyes lit up.
"General, how are you doing?"
General Thunder put the Jueyun pepper into his mouth and chewed it several times.
"Compared with sweets, it has a completely different feeling."
Looking sideways at Zhou Ze, General Thunder and Lightning's smoke was flowing, as if she was looking for an adjective. After a long time, she said, "I feel like something is dancing on the tip of my tongue."
“What an amazing feeling.”
"If the general likes it, I will add it to the dish."
General Thunder and Lightning moved, she approached Zhou Ze and said, "I want to give it a try."
"You do it."
With General Thunder's permission, Zhou Ze began to cook seriously.
It is really convenient to have a luggage, but this luggage is still a bit small. If the luggage was half as big as Ying's luggage, Zhou Ze would definitely bring all the spices.
It's a pity that the luggage doesn't have the function of keeping fresh like the one in Ying. Otherwise, you can eat whatever you want in the wild.
General Thunder and Lightning quietly watched Zhou Ze cooking seriously. Zhou Ze was very attentive when cooking. There seemed to be light shining in his black eyes. Coupled with his handsome face, he looked very good.
"General, here are some snacks I bought at the market. You can try them."
On the plate were some dried fruits as an appetizer before meals. Although General Thunder and Lightning did not need these, it was also a novel experience. No matter what it was, Zhou Ze wanted General Thunder and Lightning to try it.
After all, General Raiden has been guarding Inazuma City for five hundred years without sleeping or eating. Now that he has self-awareness, Zhou Ze wants her to know what he wants to do.
Rather than just to complete those eternal pursuits set by the shadow.
If it is just to complete the mission, then what should the general do when Inazuma truly becomes an eternal kingdom?
General Thunder held a sour plum and she carefully put it into her mouth. It was a little sour at first but gradually turned into sweet.
"What's this?"
“It tastes so weird.”
Zhou Ze was cutting shredded potatoes. He looked back at the sour plum held in General Thunder's hand and his slightly bulging cheeks and smiled.
"General, this is candied sour plum."
"I have removed the core inside in advance, so all can be eaten."
General Thunder closed her eyes and chewed carefully. She felt that the candied sour plums could be compared with the three-color dumplings. They were soft and glutinous and both were delicious.
Picking one up again and putting it in his mouth, General Thunder and Lightning showed a hint of joy on his always cold face. In addition, his fair cheeks were slightly bulging, making him inexplicably cute.
If other people see General Raiden showing such an expression, they will definitely think that they are dazzled or that they are dreaming. No one would believe that General Raiden, who has always shown himself cold and cool to others, would show the attitude of his little daughter.
. But in Zhou Ze's opinion, all this is an ordinary thing, because apart from his identity as a general, General Thunder and Lightning is just an ordinary human girl in appearance.
Soon, Zhou Ze prepared two dishes, one was the spicy and sour potato shreds that Zhou Ze preferred, and the other was Mond's barbecue steak.
The latter is naturally learned from He Ying.
Placing the two dishes on the low wooden table, Zhou Ze said to General Thunder with an expectant look on his face: "General, try it quickly and see how it tastes."
General Thunder looked at the spicy and sour potato shreds, and she took a chopstick and put it in her mouth.
"how?"
"Besides spicy, there seems to be other flavors..."
"The taste is also strange, but not unpleasant."
"tasty."
Listening to General Thunder's comments, Zhou Ze felt extremely happy. As a chef, the most satisfying thing is when his dishes are well received and eaten up.
"General, this barbecue steak is a specialty of Mondstadt. Try it and see if you like it."
Because the barbecue steak was a bit big, Zhou Ze cut it into small pieces after grilling.
Zhou Ze didn't want to see General Thunder holding a piece of meat and eating it. That was really unsightly. No matter what General Thunder did, it should be in line with her noble status.
Of course, except for the cute expressions shown when eating three-color dumplings...
"Is this a barbecue steak?"
"It tastes a little strange..."
Zhou Ze thought he didn't bake it well, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. There was nothing wrong with the taste, just the way Ying made it at that time.
"General, what's wrong?"
After thinking about it for a while, General Thunder said, "It tastes completely different from what I had before."
After receiving General Thunder's explanation, Zhou Ze suddenly understood. He instantly understood why General Thunder felt that the taste of barbecue steak was a bit strange.
Because Zhou Ze has always cooked vegetarian food for General Thunder.
This was actually the first time General Raiden tried meat dishes.
"General, do you think the barbecue steak is delicious?"
General Thunder took another piece. After tasting it carefully, General Thunder said: "Although the taste is very strange, it is also delicious."
"That's good."
"If you don't hate it, General, I will make some other dishes using the same ingredients next time."
"good."
Although this was his first time trying it, Zhou Ze had gradually figured out General Thunder's preference for the dishes.
Sweets are still General Thunder's favorite food, but as far as Zhou Ze knows of various cuisines, beets are basically not a staple food but a dessert.
However, this does not affect Zhou Ze's determination to cook various dishes for General Thunder and Lightning. Since General Thunder and Lightning likes to eat sweets, he can just cook them every time.
As long as General Thunder and Lightning likes it, Zhou Ze will be happy to make it even if he eats three-color dumplings for every meal.
"General, let's go for a walk on Haizhi Island after eating."
"I think the scenery will be beautiful after the rain."
"good."
As General Leiden and Zhou Ze finished their meal, the rain gradually became less intense.
He took out an umbrella from his bag to protect General Thunder from the drizzle.
The scenery takes on a new look after the rain, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of plants.
"General, look."
"The sky over the shogunate is still clear."
