Chapter 9 Cooking
Along the way they came, the group walked out of the Lost Forest safely. At this time, it was already dark outside. Caroline remembered that they went in for at most half a day. Why did it get dark? Could it be that the time in the Lost Forest is shorter than Is it fast outside?But why no one pays attention to this?Looking at the appearance of the knights around, I didn't notice this at all. What is the reason?Or is it because you are special?Questions lingered in Caroline's mind, but there was no solution, so she had to give up in the end.

Sighing lightly, he found someone to share a horse with him, and the group returned to the castle under the cover of night.

An An fell asleep soundly, woke up early in the morning and went downstairs, and saw that the earl was already sitting peacefully at the dining table eating breakfast, and the silver wine glass in front of him was filled with bright red dragon fruit juice.It seems that the subsequent trip to the Lost Forest should have gone smoothly, otherwise the Earl would not have returned so soon.Caroline was very curious about what the earl did afterwards, but she knew that there were some things that should not be asked, so she kept silent.It was her time to know, the count would tell her himself sooner or later.

Sitting in front of the long wooden dining table, Caroline couldn't help smiling when she saw that only herself and the earl had juice in front of her.This is really discriminatory treatment. In the previous life, even a concubine could live a happy life, but in this world, some people's status is really too low, let alone a weak woman.She knew that the Earl was kind to her. If it wasn't for her this time, the Earl wouldn't have entered the Lost Forest himself.Without [-]% safety, the earl would not take risks.

After cutting the greasy bear meat on the plate with a table knife, Caroline gently put it into her mouth with a fork.Despite the tall and burly bear man, the meat is very delicate, it melts in the mouth, and the meat is full of fragrance.The only downside is that there is no suitable seasoning, only salt, so that the taste can only be regarded as mediocre.

After taking a few mouthfuls, Caroline put down the tableware, picked up the cup and drank the juice in it, then picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, stood up and saluted the earl after lifting her skirt and said: " Father, I wonder if Caroline has the honor to invite Father to taste the food made by Caroline herself."

Speaking of which, in this relatively barren place in her previous life, Caroline really can't guarantee that the food she cooks is delicious.However, I also know from memory that ladies from aristocratic families disdain cooking, so even if the taste is bad, the Earl should not blame it.However, she still hopes that the food she makes can be recognized by the Earl, so that the Earl will also pay attention to the wild vegetables in the Lost Forest, and she may get the chance to explore the Lost Forest again.

The count looked at Caroline with interest, picked up the glass and took a sip of the juice.This juice was made by several maids under Caroline's behest.The method is to peel off the skin of the dragon fruit, put the whole thing in a silver plate, then mash the dragon fruit with a tool, put it into a silver cup with a spoon, add a little water and sugar, and it will become a rough fruit juice .In this place where technology has not developed at all, there is no need to think about juice machines.We can only use earthen methods to make some rough finished products.

Not long after Caroline fell asleep last night, the Earl came back smoothly. He drank a cup when he saw the finished fruit juice. Take it instead of milk.But because there are only so few dragon fruits, only he and Caroline can drink them.The butler was also lucky enough to taste it once. Compared to wine, the butler prefers this thing called juice.The Earl cared even more, he was wondering how many surprises his daughter would bring to him.

Seeing that the earl didn't answer, Caroline felt a little confused, did the earl doubt it?Looking at the sarcasm in the eyes of the other women at the table, Caroline bit her lips and said, "Father, are you all right?" There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, which frightened everyone at the table. dare not move.In order for the earl to have a balanced diet, and for her own delicious food, Caroline didn't care.Although she was only as young as a teenager in her previous life, she had never acted like a baby to anyone, nor had she had the opportunity to act like a baby to anyone.This is the first time acting like a baby, so I don't know how the effect will be.

Putting down the glass, the Earl smiled and said, "Okay then."

The earl was still very happy about Caroline acting like a baby to him. It had been a long time since anyone had acted like a baby to him.My other children are afraid of me and are not qualified enough, let alone those women with lower status. In front of me, they dare not even take a breath.

"Then Caroline will go down and get ready." Hearing the earl's promise, Caroline happily ran to the kitchen.The fruits and bear meat harvested yesterday were all stored in the cellar, and the wild vegetables were still placed in the corner without being picked and washed.When she came back, Caroline had ordered the servants in the kitchen not to touch the things she brought back, because she didn't know how many reliable people there were in the castle.

It's only morning, but Caroline always wants to experiment first, and she can't give the Earl something too unpalatable.However, Caroline is very assured of her cooking skills, and the only thing she is worried about is the condiments.Hey, the era of sister pit.Caroline thought inwardly.It would be great if I could find something to replace those prickly ash peppers in my previous life. If I have a chance, I will go hunting for treasure in the Lost Forest again.

Caroline is the type who doesn't like spicy food. If there is no chili appetizer for every meal, she probably won't be able to eat a small bowl of rice.Because of this, in her previous life, she had to go to the hospital every three days to see stomach problems.The doctor warned her many times, but for the killer, who knows if he can see the sun tomorrow, so he just wants to enjoy himself while he can, and she ignores the doctor's words every time.

With the help of the housekeeper, Caroline chose two maids who looked handy, and then drove out all the extra people and closed the kitchen door to prevent anyone from entering.The butler smiled connivingly, and ordered several knights to stand guard at the door of the kitchen and not allow anyone to disturb them, because he also knew that the existence of these things was inconvenient to leak out, and one bad thing would be fatal.

Looking at the rough flour in the silver basin, Caroline shook her head helplessly, poured some water into it resignedly, and kneaded it slowly. After a while, the flour turned into dough.Despite the bumpy surface, at least it can be used to craft things.

Putting the dough aside, Caroline turned around and saw that the hands of the two maids were fast. It wasn't long before half a sack of wild vegetables had been picked and washed.After receiving the wild vegetables, Caroline walked to the side of the pot and prepared to start. One maid cleverly went to light the fire, while the other followed Caroline and waited for orders.

Speaking of this pot table, it actually existed originally, because there are only barbecues and bread in the castle.And this pot table is a blueprint drawn by Caroline herself, and the housekeeper asked someone to build it.Even if she didn't find these wild vegetables, Caroline was going to stew some potatoes and beef or fry some shredded potatoes to eat.Of course, the reason is still seen in the book.Of course, the Earl would not refuse such a small request, so now Caroline only has a pot to use, otherwise she can only eat wild vegetables.

After receiving the butter, Caroline dug a piece into the pot to melt it, then poured the diced beef into the pot, and gently stir-fried it with a shovel until the beef changed color and stuck Rowling picked up a small piece of salt and put it in.Seeing that the beef is almost fried, put the wild vegetables into the pot and stir fry with the beef.Although there are no other seasonings, the taste smells very good.

After ordering the maid to put out the fire, another maid put the stir-fried vegetables on the plate. Caroline impatiently picked up a wild vegetable with a fork, blew on it, and put it in her mouth.Chewing slowly, savoring the mild bitterness of wild vegetables and the aroma of beef, Caroline smiled with satisfaction.The taste of this dish is really not much different from the previous life.Although it does not use soybean oil, and the condiment is only salt, it is much better than the daily barbecue milk bread.Caroline, who has been cooking for at least ten years, feels extraordinarily delicious when she eats the dishes she made this time.

Putting down the fork, Caroline walked aside, took out the noodles in the basin and put them on the chopping board.Of course, this chopping board was also made by Caroline asking the housekeeper to cut down a tree, and also made a rolling pin along the way.Knead the dough vigorously to make it feel more and more firm. When the whole dough was relatively smooth, Caroline picked up the rolling pin on the side, and rolled the dough into dough cakes, and then into dough sheets.

After ordering the maid to cut the dough into even thin strips, Caroline stood up and rubbed her arms.With my small and slender arms, I feel that I can't use my strength after kneading a little dough.Biting her lip, Caroline was thinking about whether she should mention it to the Earl and ask herself to train with the knight in the morning.But when she thought of Caroline, she overturned her own thoughts. If she told the earl, the earl would definitely doubt herself. It seemed that she would secretly ask the housekeeper for help.

After telling the maid to cut the noodles and put them there, she can leave, and then Caroline walked out of the kitchen.

"You two, don't let anyone in." Seeing the casual look of the two knights standing outside, Caroline reminded.The two knights are the earl's confidantes. They followed Caroline and the earl into the Lost Forest yesterday. Knowing that the earl's love for Caroline was more than what the outside rumors said, they nodded hastily.They didn't dare to neglect Caroline at all. If the earl found out, he would definitely deal with them.

After washing her hands, she asked the servant to bring a chair. Caroline sat in the shadow of the castle, reading a book, and slowly waited for the arrival of noon.

On the front of the castle, a knight hurried to the study with a letter in his hand.

 Hey, the male number one is about to appear, is anyone looking forward to it?
