I weave fate in parallel time and space

Xia Ya very skillfully started to handle the fish on the chopping board with a knife.

The whitefish has a very beautiful appearance, with a wide and plump body, a small head, and a shiny body. At first glance, it looks like a wild fish.

The breeding range of white salmon is very limited, especially in places like Sailimu Lake, which is a very scarce resource. Its latitude, altitude, and especially the purity of the water are basically unique to Beichen. The growth environment of fish is natural and wild, clean and pollution-free.

With such a good fish, it doesn’t matter how you prepare it, because it tastes delicious no matter how you prepare it.

Chara and Alicia come here regularly every year.

One is to enjoy the scenery here, and the other is to eat the fish here.

He removed the fish scales, opened the fish's belly, and then raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He took out a bowl from the sideboard of the stove, then took out a lot of fish roe from his stomach and put it into the bowl.

"It looks like there's an unexpected surprise." Calcifer teased.

Char grabbed a handful of fish roe and threw it into Calcifer's mouth.

Calcifer chewed it carefully, then nodded, "Fresh, salty, not bad."

Xia Ya thought for a moment, "It looks like there is another dish."

Then he cut the white salmon into two pieces along the middle bone, then cut it into finger-width fish strips with a knife, put it in a container, added soy sauce, black pepper, cooking wine, and sugar and put it on one side to marinate.

Then I cut the ginger into cubes, the onions into cubes, and the green onions into sections for later use.

Then he picked up a large pot hanging on the wall and placed it on Kasifa. Pour an appropriate amount of peanut oil into the pot. After the oil is hot, stir-fry the garlic cloves until golden, then add the ginger and green onions. , onions and dried chilies stir-fry until fragrant.

Then he changed to another casserole, placed the marinated fish strips evenly in the casserole, poured the fried ingredients on top, and covered the pot.

"The fire is bigger." Xia Ya said.

"Then don't be optimistic!" Calcifer tried his best to increase the flames a little.

A few minutes later, Xia Ya opened the lid of the pot and sprinkled with chopped green onion. The baked white salmon was actually ready.

But then he covered the pot again and poured a circle of rice wine along the edge of the lid to seal it.

Calcifer tried hard to breathe in the aroma of wine in the air, and said intoxicatedly, "This rice wine is so fragrant."

"You can't drink it." Char said, "The alcohol content is not enough."

Calcifer curled his lips and retracted into the furnace.

Xia Ya looked at the caviar on the table behind him, and then at the remaining salmon. He thought for a while and said, "Then let's make another crispy potato with smoked salmon caviar. The family must be neat and tidy." .”

By the time Alicia and Sissi came back, the sun was already high in the sky.

At this moment, on the table in the courtyard, the stove used by Xia Ya to make tea was placed on the table, but at this moment there was a pan on it, and on the plate was a plate of grilled fish soaked in red oil, sprinkled with Lots of side dishes.

There are potato slices, tofu cubes, enoki mushrooms, bean sprouts, vermicelli, cauliflower, lotus root, cucumber and so on.

The charcoal in the stove is constantly heating the grilled fish, and the red oil is bubbling, making people salivate.

There are many dishes on the side, all made from whitefish.

"These are all made by me." Xia Ya took off her apron and said happily to Sissi, "These are your favorite fish."

As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks placed on the table.

The outer layer of fish skin is grilled to a crispy texture, and Xia Ya uses chopsticks to gently cut it open, revealing the soft fish meat.

He picked up a piece of fish with fish skin, dipped it in the soup, and brought it to Sissi's mouth.

"Try it."

Sissi raised her eyes to look at him, but she still opened her mouth and ate in. The outside was crispy on the outside and the inside was smooth and tender, with a kind of freshness that only comes from grilled live fish.

Spicy and spicy are blended together, and the meat is also delicate and firm with a hint of charcoal aroma.

Whitefish has a high fat content (up to 36% unsaturated fat), short muscle fibers, and extremely smooth meat. The cooking time should not be too long, so it is not suitable for grilled fish that needs to be grilled all the time. It is most suitable to use black fish. The most important thing is that black fish has no spines.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Xia Ya said expectantly.

Sissi looked at Xia Ya again. To be honest, when she saw Char before, her initial impression of him was that he was an unfathomable wise man and very calm.

instead of like now
  Alicia chuckled upon seeing this, "You scared her."

Char raised his eyebrows.

"It's delicious," Sissi said.

Xia Ya smiled, seemed very happy, and sat opposite Sissi.

In front of you is the delicious and tempting grilled fish, with its own BGM, boiling soup, and strong aroma. Coupled with the Sailimu Lake reflecting the blue sky and white clouds on the side, there is a strong sense of comfort and happiness.

The man in front of me was right, he really liked eating fish.

Sissi couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and try to pick up a piece of baked white salmon in the casserole.

White salmon is a low-temperature fish and will die immediately when it comes out of the water, so it is best to eat it by the lake, and only here can you eat the freshest one.

The fish meat tastes delicate, tender, and smooth. The meat is firmer and has a deeper flavor. Especially the freshness of this fish is very durable. No freshness-enhancing condiments such as chicken essence, MSG, etc. are added during the cooking process, so it has a natural umami taste.

This kind of freshness can only be felt by truly tasting it, and any description in any language can express it.

"I will set up a door in the future to allow you to go back and forth between here and your villa at any time. You can live here at any time." Xia Ya said softly.

"She'll sleep with me tonight," Alicia said.

Xia Ya nodded and laughed at himself, "It looks like I've become a loner."

"I've been sleeping with you for hundreds of years, aren't you used to it now?" Alicia teased.

Xia smiled and said, "I will most likely go with Tony to work on the colonization of Mars tonight."

Hearing this, Sissi couldn't help but raise her head and look at him.

“Mars colonization?”

Seeing Sissi's curious eyes, Xia looked at Alicia and said proudly, "It seems like this child is more willing to follow me."

Sissi picked up the crispy potatoes with smoked salmon caviar on the table. The moment the caviar came into contact with her lips and tongue, she could feel a coolness. The plump fish roe rolled between the tip of her tongue and the roof of her mouth. With a slight exertion, the cracked The aroma of fish roe instantly fills your mouth, full of freshness, and when you taste it carefully, you can also taste the slightest sweetness, and the deliciousness blooms on the tip of your tongue.

Then you can taste the smoked salmon under the caviar. Salmon itself is a type of salmon, so the taste of the slightly smoked white salmon is very similar to that of salmon. It is rich in flavor and tastes like jelly. It just melts away. The crispy potatoes are the finishing touch.

Alicia hummed unconvinced and looked at Sissi, "There will be a beautiful starry sky here at night."

Sissi thought of the Starry Night painted by Van Gogh that she had just seen in the living room. The painting was so beautiful, it was hard to imagine how beautiful the real starry sky would be.

"The starry sky here is indeed beautiful." Xia Ya whispered.

After a pause, he said, "The Martian city is just a concept now. Later, I will show you with your own eyes a huge Martian city where dragons and humans live together."

"Dragon?" Sissi's eyes lit up, "Are there any dragons in this world?"

"Not only are there dragons, but there are also quite a few." Xia Ya's eyes glowed with a faint light.

He looked at Sissi and said, "Do you want to see it? I can catch one for you. Of course, if you want to raise it, that's no problem."

Sissi shook her head, "I'm just asking."

Although she knew in her heart that the two people in front of her were her biological parents, her memory had not yet recovered, and she felt both familiar and strange to them, and she was still not used to this sudden concern.

"You have actually read a book about dragons before." Alicia said softly, "There is another book in the library below that contains a lot of your annotations, but your memory has not been unlocked yet. In other words, it has been solved by you. The long memory has obscured it.”

Sissi nodded. Just now when they were walking along the edge of Selim Lake, Alicia had actually answered all her questions.

"wait."

Xia seemed to have thought of something and walked into the castle. When he came out again, he had a big egg in his hand.

The egg is so big that it takes two hands to hold it. Of course, one hand is enough for Char.

The eggshell is very hard and glows like a gem.

This was what Xia Ya took when he went to the Dragon Realm before.

There is an old saying in China that a thief will never leave. Ahem, it should be "come and come". Since you have gone once and finally returned to another place, you naturally have to bring back some local products.

"This should be a dragon egg." Xia Ya put the egg at Sissi's feet. "You can play with it and see if it can hatch. I heard that dragons will recognize the first person they see after birth. Be your own mother.”

Sissi looked at Alicia at a loss for a moment.

"Take it." Alicia held her chin and said lazily, "If you don't accept this, your father will probably use it to make poached eggs. He is capable of such a thing."

"Look at what you said, you treated me like a loser." Xia Ya curled her lips and said, "How could I possibly finish eating such a big egg?"

He looked at the egg, touched his chin and thought for a while. "One third should be made into scrambled eggs, one third into fried rice, and the last third into tomato and egg soup. Speaking of which, I haven't eaten dragon eggs yet."

"You gave it away," Alicia said.

Char raised his eyebrows.

Alicia looked at Sissi with soft eyes, "Are you full?"

Sissy nodded.

"Want to take a shower?"

Since the demon invasion last night, Sissi has been following Sherlock and others on various trips, and she is indeed not too clean along the way.

She nodded.

Alicia stood up slowly and enthusiastically pulled her towards the living room. while shouting to Calcifer.

"Calcifer, get us some hot water."

"First floor or second floor?" Calcifer asked.

"My room on the first floor."

"Ok, leave it to me!" Calcifer took a deep breath, his chest bulged, he raised his hands and made a bodybuilder's movement, and his two slender arms bulged out two small flame bags like muscles. .

The chimney at the top of the castle began to emit thick black smoke and gush out steam.

"Crash~"

When Sissi and Alicia entered the living room, she heard the sound of water flowing from one side.

Alicia took Sissi and pushed open the door on one side.

Inside is a bathroom, a separate bathroom with only a large bathtub.

The dark wooden floors and wooden cabinets are very stylish.

Hot water continuously flows into the bathtub through the pipes on one side, steaming out. There is a screen next to the bathtub.

Alicia stepped forward quickly and pulled open the screen next to the bathtub, revealing the window behind it.

Through this window, they could see the beautiful scenery of Sailimu Lake and the snow-capped mountains in the distance under the sun.

Sailimu Lake itself is sparsely populated, and the windows themselves are one-way windows. People inside can see outside, but people outside cannot see inside, and there is no need for a screen.

The screen just adds a sense of security.

"Take off your clothes and put them in the dirty clothes basket over there." Alicia pointed to the dirty clothes basket on one side.

Sissi nodded, but after waiting for a while, she looked at Alicia who was still here and couldn't help but said.

"Aren't you leaving?"

"Don't you like taking a shower with me?" Alicia asked softly.

A trace of sadness quickly appeared on her face, "You used to like taking baths with me."

Of course Sissi couldn't refuse at this time, she had to shake her head, "No, I can do either."

Alicia suddenly smiled, and then slowly took off her clothes.

When the morning sunlight shone on her body, even though Sissi was a woman, her breathing stagnated for a moment.

Her skin was as white as gelatin and as transparent as snow. When the sunlight shone on her body, it reminded Sissi of the golden mountains she had just seen illuminated by the sun, blooming with a brilliance that made people look up to her.

"You are so beautiful." Sissi sighed from the bottom of her heart.

Alicia smiled happily.

They walked into the bathtub together. The water temperature is very comfortable, just at a hot but not too hot stage. Paired with the scenery of snow-capped mountains in the distance, it makes people feel happy.

"Try turning this." Alicia pointed to a knob next to the tub.

This knob matched the decoration style of the room very well, so when Sissi saw it, she thought it was a button to release water.

But after hearing Alicia's words, Sissi turned the button.

"Ding bell~"

With a crisp sound, the scenery outside the window suddenly began to change.

The starry sky is dotted with stars, the soft full moon illuminates the endless sea of ​​clouds, and the waves crash on the shore like a soft nocturne.

"What's here, illusion?" Sissi asked doubtfully.

"Not exactly," Alicia said. "This is a private peninsula in Britannia that belongs to us, and it is also where this house is located."

Sissi immediately remembered the place she came to when she came here, and she murmured softly, "I seemed to have entered from here when I entered this house."

"So we actually never left? Was it the mechanical creation that left?"

Alicia smiled, "You can understand that this house can lead to many places."

Sissi nodded thoughtfully.

"Turn again." Alicia said softly.

With curiosity, Sissi turned the knob again.

"Ding bell~"

The scene outside the window becomes a garden.

The air is pleasant and the flowers are fragrant. There are thousands of flowers here, and the fragrance is intoxicating and beautiful.

There are pink three-petal flowers, large pansies, oleanders, lupines of various colors, orange lilies, tall white lilies, countless, tall vines, and some strange-shaped plants, as well as some Strangely colored leaves.

There is also a very large peach forest in the distance. Pink peach blossoms are blooming all over the mountains and fields, and a fragrant warm wind flies by. Countless peach blossoms are flying all over the sky.

"This is Cecily in Britannia." Alicia said, "This yard was there when we bought this house. The owner of the house is a person who likes flowers very much and is a friend of your father. It was a gift, but he is no longer here.”

"I've been here before." Sissi murmured in a low voice, "But I never thought that this house would be yours."

"Destiny can be so dramatic sometimes." Alicia's eyes glowed with a faint glimmer.

Sissi continued to turn the knob, and a familiar ringing sound came.

The view from the window is a hillside, with a city below.

At first glance, both the eaves and pillars adopt an architecturally integrated design, which is very similar to Beichen, but also mixed with some Western-style neoclassical buildings, churches, bell towers, and some Western-style palaces.

It seems to be a festival now, the whole city is hung with orange lanterns, and the whole city seems to have turned into a golden city exuding golden light, shining with scorching brilliance.

The huge building complex with different styles brings a sense of prosperity to people from all over the world, and a feeling of being a world cultural exchange center. There is a different kind of beauty.

Sissi opened her eyes, with a hint of absent-mindedness in her eyes, and some memories from the past appeared in her mind.

"here is"

"The place where you have been since childhood." Alicia lazily leaned on the edge of the bathtub and watched everything.

Asia raised her hand gently, water drops dripping outside the bathtub. She pointed to a house in the distance, "Look, you can see the house you lived in in the past at a glance."

Sissi looked at this perspective, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity gradually came to her heart.

Suddenly, she turned her head sharply, opened her eyes slightly, and looked at Alicia in disbelief.

"He's Uncle Ian?"

In her childhood memories, she had an uncle who stayed with her until adulthood.

In my memory, he was like his own father who was very kind to me. No matter what he wanted, he would satisfy him.

He takes himself to many fun places, eats a lot of delicious food, and buys her a lot of books and beautiful dresses.

But after moving, she never saw him again, and she was still sad for a long time.

"In fact, we have never been absent from your life." Alicia whispered softly, "It's just that you can't notice it. Your house in Sashili was actually chosen by him, and you can just see the garden."

At some point, it started to rain outside, and it gradually became heavier and made a splashing sound.

The heavy rain played music on the earth, and the cool and bitter smell of vegetation mixed with soil filled the city.

The city lit up by orange lanterns is even more beautiful like an oil painting under the hazy fog.

Sissi's eyes also had ripples like puddles dripping with water. (End of chapter)
