Witch Punk 2840

Chapter 16 One Thousand and One Nights

Soon after, the bread was baked too.

Compared with the fish soup, which looks a little scary, the appearance of the bread is obviously much more normal.

According to Lilian, the raw material of the bread is a plant called "dome wheat", which was originally called "dandelion wheat".

Wild dandelion wheat grows in the sky, blowing around with the air currents.Later, a witch discovered that the seeds of dandelion wheat were not only usable, but also delicious and could replenish a small amount of magic power, so she collected them and cultivated them artificially.

Later, with the improvement of various magics, dandelion wheat became the current dome wheat. They no longer float with the wind, but grow fixedly on the dome of the city. The seeds of dome wheat are not only fuller than those of dandelion wheat, The yield is also high, and it has become one of the staple foods of witches today.

When the weather is fine, as long as you look up, you can see small white squares at certain positions on the dome, which are the wheat fields of the dome.

Xia Ye tore off a small piece of dome wheat bread that is crispy and golden on the outside, white and soft on the inside, put it in a bowl, dipped it in the fragrant fish soup, and then threw it into the "mouth".

Chew Chew Chew...

Different from the wheat bread in the world before crossing, the bread made of dome wheat has a slightly bitter taste.But this kind of bitterness is not unpalatable at all, but like coffee, bitter and fragrant, after eating a few pieces, it will bring a refreshing feeling.

According to Lilian, this is because the magic power content of dome wheat is higher than that of other foods. When its magic power is released in the body, the witch will feel the pleasure brought by the replenishment of magic power.

"Tired of me... mud makes Chu Yi poke with needle cloth..."

Only when you eat delicious food will you find yourself really hungry.Summer night, who was feasting, ignored the table manners, stuffed his "mouth" with bread and thick soup, and praised vaguely.

"Hehe, as long as sister Xia Ye likes it." Seeing Xia Ye eating so vigorously, Lilian was also very happy, "Although I am quite confident in my cooking skills, when it's time for you to taste it, in fact, my heart Still pretty nervous."

"Why?" Xia Ye asked after swallowing another mouthful of bread.

"Because sister Xia Ye is a traveling witch! You must have been to many cities and tasted various delicacies, right? Even if the memory is lost, the body must still have the impression of those delicacies. Maybe I myself Compared with the delicacies you have eaten in the past, the special dishes that you think are delicious can only be regarded as mediocre?"

"Um……"

Xia Ye has indeed eaten food from many places in the past, but not in this world, but in the world before she traveled. Because of work, she often needs to fly to various places. I can't go home for a month.

"I have indeed been to many places and tasted the food of those places." Xia Ye said while slowly stirring the soup in the bowl with a spoon.

"The food in some places is really delicious, and it's also very unique... However, even so, the feelings they bring to me don't exceed the deliciousness of this bowl of fish soup. So, Lilian, your cooking skills Really good - affirmation from a traveling witch."

"This, is that so... I'm a little embarrassed for sister Xia Ye's high evaluation." Although Lilian said so, the expression on her face did not show a trace of embarrassment at all. Instead, it seemed to say "" Come and praise me more!" The big characters are the same.

"Ah, that's right." The girl clapped her hands again, and said with a smile on her face: "Since sister Xia Ye likes my cooking so much, I will make it for you every day from now on! Also..."

Xia Ye didn't wait for her to say the words after "other", and interrupted: "Okay, maybe I will be completely inseparable from your cooking in the future, and by then, even if the deal between me and you is completed , I am also reluctant to eat you."

"what……?"

The girl's smile froze all of a sudden, "So that... still counts?"

"Of course it counts. I promise not to hurt you until your wish is fulfilled, but after the wish is fulfilled, how to deal with you depends on the mood of this witch..."

Xia Ye's gaze was locked on the girl, and she moved slowly as if she had substance, "But you don't have to be too nervous, have you heard a story called 'One Thousand and One Nights'?"

Lilian shook her head.

"Well—that's a story I once heard in another city. The story says that once there was a king..."

"What is a 'king'?" Lilian couldn't help asking.

"It's the ruler of a place, similar to a city lord."

"Oh……"

Seeing Lilian nodded obediently, Xia Ye continued: "The king was betrayed by the queen, and after the queen was executed, he still blamed other people. He announced to the whole country that he would choose a woman to be his queen—that is, his wife. On the first day, of course, many women went to apply for the conscript. After the king selected one of them, he married the woman during the day, and executed her on the second morning. Then he announced that he needed to marry another..."

"That... what is a wife?" Lilian asked another question.

"Uh……"

Xia Ye suddenly remembered that witches are oviparous creatures that reproduce asexually, so they have no concept of "mate" at all.

"That's a unique custom in that place..." Xia Ye began to add settings to "Arabian Nights", "The custom stipulates that after everyone grows up to a certain age, he must find a companion he likes, uh, But you may not like it... In short, you must find someone to live with yourself day and night. That person is called a 'wife'."

"Oh..." Lilian nodded with a vague understanding.

"Hey, let's continue the story. After the king married his second wife, he executed her again on the third morning... After repeating this for a while, no one in the whole country dared to apply for the conscript. Although it is said to be the queen It means innumerable glory and wealth, but no matter how much wealth there is, there must be life flowers. Seeing that no one dared to come again, the king announced that from the next day, if the woman he chose did not voluntarily Come to his palace, he will let the guards arrest the other party, and immediately execute him. In this way, every morning, there will still be a woman—whether she agrees to be his wife or not—will be executed by him..."

"Wow! This king is so cruel, isn't he a big villain?" Lilian couldn't help sighing.

"That's right." Xia Ye replied, "But he is the king and has great power. Even if he does this, no one else can resist."

"Just when the whole country was panicking, the prime minister's daughter, a woman named Shan Ruzod, stood up—the prime minister is the person who assists the king. She voluntarily went to the palace and expressed her willingness to become the king's wife.

"Of course the king was very happy and married her immediately. Unlike other women, Shan Ruzod told the king a very attractive story that night. When the story was at its most exciting, it was just dawn, and Shan Ruzod De asked: "Do you want to continue listening to the story tonight, or do you want to execute me now?" The king was naturally reluctant to kill her, so he spared her not to die that day and let her continue telling stories at night.

"The next night, Shan Ruzod continued to tell the story until the next morning, and it just stopped at the most exciting place. The king had to forgive her for not dying... In this way, her story has been told In One Thousand and One Nights, the king was finally moved and promised not to kill her again in the future, and the two lived together forever."

"The story is over." Xia Ye said to Lilian.

"Ah...so, this story actually has a happy ending." Lilian looked at Xia Ye in surprise.

"Yes."

"But, that king is good or bad, I thought he would be killed in the end..."

"Well, it is true that many people think that the king is bad, and many people think that Shan Ruzod is smart and kind, why marry such a bad king and be his wife..."

"Yeah!" Lilian nodded her head vigorously in agreement.

"However, I like to look at this story from another angle." Xia Ye said while playing with the miscellaneous fish in the bowl with a spoon.
