Chapter 202 Dinner at Sirona's House (5k, 1110)
Roseredo carried six glasses filled with juice on vines and walked to the sofa with graceful steps without any panic.
"Leido~"
Putting down the juices one by one, Roseredo stood aside like a butler and continued to stand by.
After taking a sip of juice, Sirona introduced the itinerary for the next few days.
"We will have a day off tomorrow and buy some things to prepare for entering Tianguan Mountain. We will set off to Shenhe Town the day after tomorrow, and then from Shenhe Town to the newly discovered ruins in Tianguan Mountain. This ruins is not big. If everything goes well, ten I’ll be back in half a month.”
Xia Chen nodded obediently. This archaeological exploration activity was led by Sirona, and he would be done with the group.
Although he knew nothing about the ancient Sinnoh region called [Xicui] and had no idea what was in the ruins, Xia Chen did not worry too much.
If following Sirona is dangerous, then the world should be full of mythical beasts.
After talking about the not-so-long business, Sirona looked up at the time. It was almost past five o'clock.
She blinked her eyes and smiled narrowly: "I will take you to archaeological sites, how are you going to repay me?"
Xia Chen smiled knowingly and rolled up his sleeves, "Understood, today's dinner will be left to me. Is there anything you want to eat? I'm going to buy groceries now."
Sirona smiled slightly, "If I had known you were coming, I would have prepared everything. Do you need help from me or the elf in the kitchen?"
Xia Chen glanced at Roseredo, who was looking at him expectantly, and said, "Then let Roseredo help me cut the vegetables. You can just wait and feel at ease."
Sirona thought for a while and suddenly suggested: "It seems you haven't posted a video for a long time, and so have I. How about we collaborate on an issue?"
Xia Chen recalled that since he mastered superpowers, he had spent all his spare time meditating. He had not updated a video for more than three months.
It turns out that I am still an up owner.
Xia Chen thought about it and felt that he should be a person who never forgets his original intention.
After all, if he didn't have the salary from his uncle, his early career as a trainer would have been even more difficult. No matter what, he couldn't forget his fans.
So he readily agreed to Sirona's proposal.
However, why does this kind of collaborative video seem a bit weird?
Xia Chen touched his chin and felt that this video format seemed a bit familiar.
Could this be the legendary rice-grabbing challenge?
…………
In the kitchen, Xia Chen and Rose Leiduo put on their aprons and prepared to start cooking.
However, the most important thing before cooking is to understand the taste of the guests.
Although the owner of this manor is Sirona, as a chef, when Xia Chen steps into the kitchen, the owner of this kitchen is Xia Chen.
Xia Chen's temperament changed as he put on his apron. He turned around confidently and asked, "I wonder what flavor Miss Sirona prefers?"
Sirona, who was holding a camera to take pictures, emerged from behind the camera and said with a smile: "Don't be so polite, just call me Zhulan. This is my hometown dialect."
"As for the taste, I've always wanted to eat the Cantonese food you cooked in your video. I've tried it myself, but I've never cooked it well."
Sirona touched her chin and suddenly thought of something, "Ah, by the way, seasonings, you seem to have said that the soul of Donghuang cuisine lies in various seasonings! Oops. I seem to have forgotten to buy them. "
I don't know whether it was because they talked about food or because they became more familiar with each other, but Sirona's mood became much richer, and her occasional frustrated expression made Xia Chen feel that she was much more approachable.
Xia Chen smiled slightly, took out the storage ball, and said, "Don't worry, Sister Zhulan, I've brought all the seasonings, everything is available."
As he spoke, he took out all kinds of bottles and jars and placed them neatly on the stove.
Sirona looked at these condiments in amazement, as happy as a twenty-five-year-old child. Then, she deliberately zoomed in on the camera to give them a close-up.
Xia Chen ignored her and let the curious baby Sirona study there, while he studied the kitchen utensils in the kitchen.
After shaking the pan, Xia Chen shook his head and took out the iron pan that he had already prepared from the storage ball.
Hmm. This is the soul of cooking!
Then, he took out a pressure cooker, a soup pot and other kitchen utensils with their own uses.
This was specially prepared by Xia Chen before he heard that he was coming to Sirona's house. He was wondering if he could show off his skills. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy.
After getting the kitchen utensils ready, Xia Chen studied the dishes prepared by Sirona.
I found that she was quite prepared for this. Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the river, it was enough to cook a banquet.
After staring at the ingredients and thinking for a while, Xia Chen turned around and asked, "Let's eat something simple tonight, steamed pork ribs with black bean sauce, chicken with rose soy sauce, baked lobster with sweet and sour pork in huangli sauce, and squid tail with abalone sauce." ,how?"
Sirona: "."
You left this list of dishes for half a minute and then said you want to eat simply tonight?
Is there any misunderstanding about simplicity?
Xia Chen thought that Sirona was too little, so he suddenly said: "Oh, Liebite Land Shark and Menas' appetites are a bit large, how many more dishes should I add?"
Sirona quickly stopped: "No need for Master Pigeon, just keep it simple." Xia Chen gave up.
…………
Although there are many dishes to cook, there are also many people and elves to help.
A champion-level roselet uses a leaf blade to chop vegetables. It can't be called a butcher's knife for killing chickens. It's simply a sword for slaying dragons.
Glaceon also helped to wash the vegetables with pure water elements, and with Kirlia's superpower to move the raw materials, Senbu's magic flame replaced Yan Xiao's inefficient family stove, and other elves helped in various ways.
Before seven o'clock, two tables full of delicious food with fragrant aroma appeared in the living room.
The reason for two tables is that Garchomp and the two Milotic were too big and had too many appetites, so they were driven to another table to eat. The little angel Pokkis was afraid that they would be too lonely, so he ran over to accompany them.
The aroma of the dishes penetrated into the elves' noses with the rising hot air, and coupled with the dishes that looked very appetizing, they swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
Although they are all champion-level elves, appetite is an eternal desire of creatures. In this regard, the "defense" of Shirona's elves is not as good as those of Xia Chen's family.
So, the elves quickly sat upright, looking eagerly at the woman who implemented the "let the phone eat first" policy, waiting for the meal to start.
Finally, after almost all the dishes were featured, Sister Zhulan reluctantly put her phone aside and announced the start of the meal.
"Okay, let's eat~"
It can be seen that Sirona was in a very good mood at this time. When she said this, she was very proud and her ending tone was a little coquettish.
However, the elves had no time to pay attention to the mood of their trainers at this time, but began to enjoy the long-awaited food.
Xia Chen made a Cantonese dish today.
The biggest feature of Cantonese cuisine is not only fresh, fragrant and smooth, but also its innovative integration.
The method of baked lobster in soup that Xia Chen made today is a typical Western method, but in the development of cuisine culture, it has gradually become a representative dish of Cantonese cuisine.
Therefore, in the previous life, Cantonese cuisine was the representative cuisine of Donghuang in the world.
Coming to this world, Xia Chen certainly inherited this advantage of Cantonese cuisine and incorporated many ingredients and seasonings of this world into it.
Therefore, even in the Sinnoh region, Xia Chen's table of Cantonese cuisine from the spirit world was still loved and praised by Shirona and her spirits.
…………
"Well, it's no exaggeration to say that if there is an eight-master competition for cooking, you are definitely the undisputed champion!"
After eating for a long time, Shirona wiped her mouth elegantly and praised the creator of today's dinner without hesitation.
Her spirits also had the same opinion, but they didn't say it directly, but ate it with their mouths.
In just 20 minutes, there was basically nothing left on the full table.
This was when Kirlia and Zoroa hardly ate anything. They looked at the champion spirits who never stopped eating, and they really didn't feel embarrassed to compete with them.
Xia Chen also felt that his cooking skills had improved recently. He guessed that it might be the benefit of superpowers.
It's not that superpowers are omnipotent. The main thing about cooking is to control the heat. In this regard, strong mental strength can really help a lot.
He took two bites of rice and saw that the food on the table was almost finished, so he said, "How about I make some more?"
Shirona shook her head, "It's almost done, and the food in the refrigerator is all gone. Let those who are not full eat energy cubes."
Energy cube?
Lucario looked down at the bright and tempting black bean sauce spareribs, and the square energy cube that has not changed for thousands of years appeared in his mind again, and he fell into deep thought.
The energy cube that I thought tasted good originally turned from a little sweetie into a cow lady in an instant.
Don't eat energy cubes or anything like that!
Lucario secretly made up his mind, eating, I have to be the first!
She immediately increased the speed of eating.
Energy cubes should be left to other partners!
At the same time, similar ideas emerged in the minds of other elves.
In an instant, the speed of eating of all Shirona's elves increased, which made Xia Chen on the side stunned.
Is this a champion-level elf?
Even the rice is so curly.
…………
The meal started at 7 o'clock and ended at 7:30.
Shirona and her elves showed Xia Chen what champion speed is.
The plate was basically clean, and even the side dishes were eaten with soup.
The elves cleaned up the mess, and Shirona pulled Xia Chen to the living room to prepare to play two games of elf duel with him.
Xia Chen, a clumsy player, couldn't even play the elf league, so how could he play the more difficult fighting game elf duel?
He found a reason to edit tonight's video and instantly excused himself, and recommended the game expert Sylveon.
Shirona waved her hand indifferently. In this family, only Lucario would play games with her, and she was tired of it a long time ago.
Her best friend Cattleya was dismissive of such things, and Shirona was now eager for a worthy opponent.
Let Sylveon accompany Shirona to have fun, and Xia Chen ran upstairs alone and edited the video for the first time in a long time.
Although it was delayed for more than three months, because it was the food video that Xia Chen edited most often, he was very efficient.
Before nine o'clock, it was almost done.
So he immediately ran downstairs with his notebook to show the edited video to Shirona.
After all, it was a joint release, and the consent of the other party must be obtained before it was released.
However, when he went downstairs, he saw Shirona's elves gathered around the sofa and looked at the TV screen seriously.
Even Garchomp stood behind the sofa, staring at the game interface with an inexplicable expression on his face.
Xia Chen was surprised. What happened?
He also curiously went over to watch the fun. He saw that Garchomp controlled by Xianbu was beating Sylveon controlled by Shirona to the ground.
Well. Sylveon played with Shirona's elves, and Shirona played Garchomp.
They seemed to be playing something very new.
But this is not the point. The point is that Shirona was beaten by Garchomp.
…………
"Ah——"
This is not Garchomp's cry, but the sound effect from the TV.
In the game, Garchomp controlled by Xianbu jumped high and used a dragon god dive with gorgeous special effects, and immediately KOed Sylveon that was just unable to move due to the earthquake.
Fighting games do not pay attention to attribute restraint, so it is reasonable for the dragon god to dive and kill Xianbu, right?
Xia Chen, who was speechless, convinced himself in his heart.
"One more."
Hirona, who had lost countless games, spoke calmly, but Xia Chen could hear the unwillingness behind her.
Xia Chen thought for a moment. Judging from the situation just now, unless Xianbu let her win, it was basically impossible for Hirona to win.
But with Hirona's personality, she would definitely not accept that her opponent could only win by letting her win.
It's difficult.
Huh?
Wait, with Xianbu's EQ, why didn't she play a back-and-forth game and make the situation so awkward?
Xia Chen suddenly found the blind spot of the matter. He looked at Xianbu, but found that she was looking at him.
Xianbu blinked her big eyes, and Xia Chen suddenly understood something.
Good guy. You are really good, Xianbu!
Xia Chen coughed lightly, showing his presence, "Xianbu, it's nine o'clock, you should go to training."
"Buyi?"
Xianbu was stunned for a moment, then nodded with sudden realization, and ran off the sofa in a flash.
She acted out the whole play. Before leaving, she did not forget to use silk to take away the dragon Messiah on Xia Chen's head.
"Messi."
The little dragon who was forcibly taken away was full of question marks. Training at nine o'clock, is there still such a rule in our family?
Xia Chen was the only one left to play with. Feeling aggrieved, Shirona turned around and asked, "Play a few games with me?"
Xia Chen nodded in agreement.
Then
Shirona vented all the frustration she had just accumulated on Xianbu on Xia Chen.
The scene was so horrible.
In less than five minutes, Xia Chen had lost three games in a row.
…………
Ten minutes later.
"Hu——"
After venting, Shirona breathed a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the sofa as if she had entered the sage time, and she almost lit a cigarette for the aftermath.
Looking at Xia Chen who was ravaged and looked a little dazed beside her, she felt a little embarrassed.
Did I just... use too much force?
But this guy's skills have improved visibly as he played later. He is a talented player who can be played with for a long time.
This is a bit like Cattleya.
It seems that these two guys should get along well.
Shirona's mood improved inexplicably. She found that this netizen who had just met for a day was more pleasing to the eye.
She touched her chin and suddenly said, "Xia Chen, do you want my Mienshao training data?"
Xia Chen: "."
Is it really possible that a pie in the sky fell from the sky?
This is as outrageous as someone suddenly running up to ask "Do you want a wife?"
What is the concept of champion-level Mienshao training data?
This is as precious as the Doron Baruto training data that I finally got from the principal last time!
You can get this kind of reward for playing with me for ten minutes?
This may be the highest hourly paid job in the world, right?
Xianbu, is this also within your calculation?
Before Xia Chen could answer, Shirona asked again: "Well, you have a little dragon, and the cultivation information of the Liebite Land Shark, which is somewhat common among quasi-gods? How about this?"
Xia Chen: "."
Would you like to hear what you are talking about.
The cultivation information of the world champion ace spirit Liebite Land Shark!
At this moment, Xia Chen's heart was filled with gratitude.
Xianbu, my superman!
Zhulan, my goddess!
…………
Although Xiao Duolong already has the cultivation information of the specially customized Dandi brand Dragon Baruto, there is never too much top-level cultivation information.
Even if they are of the same race, individual elves are different, and there has never been any perfectly suitable cultivation information.
Taking the essence, integrating it, and then transforming it into your own things, this is the best way to use the top-level cultivation information.
And who can refuse Shirona's elf cultivation information?
Xia Chen certainly had no reason to refuse. On key matters, he was not the kind of hypocritical person.
Although he didn't feel guilty about it, after getting the benefit, Xia Chen still tried to do something like last time.
Shirona's answer was also very intriguing, "Cook for me when you have time, play games with me, if possible, grow up quickly, I want to retire after losing to you."
Xia Chen was silent, do these big guys think so highly of him?
It was the hope of Donghuang's future, and Dugu Qiubai was waiting for him to challenge.
Having too much debt is not a worry, Xia Chen accepted this illusory promise.
Anyway, my current goal also includes climbing to the highest peak. Whether it is Yu Chaohua's reliance or Shirona's waiting, they are all things that can be done on this road.
After talking about these, Xia Chen finally remembered the purpose of his trip this time and showed Shirona the video he had edited.
Projected on the TV screen, the two watched it together and made some adjustments.
Ten o'clock.
"So, I will publish it?"
Xia Chen finished the cover title introduction of the video, selected the joint submission option with [Sinnoh Champion Shirona], and made the final confirmation to Sister Zhulan.
Shirona nodded, "Well, post it."
Press the publish button, turn a few circles, and the computer shows "Your manuscript [Dong Shen co-photographed, Shirona's dinner!] has been uploaded~"
Food area, your cooing pigeons are back!
Another ten thousand fucks!
I have paid off the 10,000 words I owed to Fenda, and even paid 1k in interest~
Debt-free
Then I will recommend a book I owed to him for a long time
"Beast Tamer Patrol"
With more than 2 million words, it should be the most popular beast taming novel in series right now, right?
Just read it and you're done!
