The room was spotless, even in the light, there was no dust flying.

The newly purchased fully automatic water dispenser reflects dazzling light.

Hannah almost thought she had entered the wrong house.

If she hadn't seen Locke and Xiao Ai in the house, she would probably have chosen to turn around and leave.

"what happened?"

Hannah took off her coat, hung it on the coat rack, and asked the beautiful boy with black hair and brown eyes in surprise.

She even reached out and touched her brother's forehead, fearing whether he had a fever.

"Hannah."

Locke took his sister's hand off his forehead and said seriously,

"Getting out of debt is just the first step. The second step is to live seriously, including cleaning."

"Well, Locke, thank you very much."

Hannah sat on the sofa.

The black cat Erin immediately gave a warning meow.

Locke immediately grabbed Hannah and sat on the wooden chair next to the dining table.

Miss Witch will probably be angry all day today. In order to prevent her from controlling Hannah's body and starting to do endless housework, Locke decided to keep her sister Hannah away from her.

"Xiao Ai isn't feeling well, so let's not disturb her."

"Ah? You feel uncomfortable. Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Hannah asked.

Locke whispered something into Hannah's ear, and Hannah showed her original expression.

Erin squinted her eyes, and her keen hearing allowed her to hear Locke's rumor.

The next second, Locke's body hugged Hannah uncontrollably and stretched his hands towards Hannah's flat chest.

Hannah opened her mouth wide in surprise, subconsciously pushed Locke away, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Hannah, it's not what you think."

Locke also had ten thousand draft horses galloping in his heart, but he didn't expect that Miss Witch's mind was only the size of a pinhead.

Before any human tragedy happened, he immediately raised his hands and surrendered.

"I'm going to make Burgundy beef stew today!!! It's known as the ultimate in beef delicacy!"

Sure enough, after saying this delicious food spell, Miss Witch stopped her pranks, lay down on the sofa, and let out a lazy meow.

Hannah broke free from her panic, regained her majesty as a sister of the family, twisted Locke's ears,

"Locke, have you followed Para's example? You actually attacked the important parts of a lady, and this lady is your respected sister. If you don't tell the reason today, there is no way you can enter the kitchen."

"Hannah."

Locke wanted to stop Hannah from saying the second half of the sentence, but it was too late.

Hannah suddenly hugged Locke's face uncontrollably and kissed him hard on the forehead.

"Loke is getting more and more handsome, and my sister can't help but want to kiss you."

Hannah immediately covered her mouth, Oops! Why did you say what was on your mind?

Locke was also stunned for a moment.

Hannah blushed and felt ashamed.

Although the two siblings were very close when they were young, since they grew up, they rarely even hold hands, let alone kiss their younger brother on the cheek.

She turned around and rushed into her room. With the slamming of the door, Locke knew that her sister was going to be autistic all day.

He touched his cheek, turned and entered the kitchen.

So, even my sister thinks she is handsome.

Locke sighed and started preparing beef stew.

Burgundy beef stew, also known as red wine beef stew, is the most famous of all beef stews in Western food. As a food blogger, Locke has naturally tried it many times.

This is my first time in this world.

The preparation process of this dish is very tedious.

Choose good cuts of beef, put them into a deep enough pot, add onions, celery, bay leaves, carrots, thyme, orange peel and other ingredients, then pour in fruity red wine, seal well, and put Marinate in refrigerator for 24 hours.

There is no refrigerator in this world, so the night before, Locke put the ingredients into sealed containers and placed them in a large vat filled with ice water to cool down, achieving the effect of a refrigerator.

I took it out today, although it was less than 24 hours, but it was enough.

After marinating, separate the wine juice, meat and side dishes, fry the beef over low heat until the surface is slightly charred, then add the side dishes and stir-fry together. After the meat changes color, pour in the previously separated wine juice and stew over high heat. Cook until the alcohol is completely evaporated and the flavors of beef and fruit wine are completely blended.

In fact, the complete process also requires the addition of bacon and fresh mushrooms, but Locke simplified these processes, leaving only the main body, and used nimmon grass, which is equivalent to chicken essence, instead of the stock for the final flavoring. After cooking for three hours, he served it Locke’s version of Burgundy beef stew is out.

After a pot of fragrant and crispy beef stew was served, Hannah and Eileen secreted saliva called desire at the same time.

Hannah opened the door and put the embarrassment behind her.

Irene also sat at the dining table, sitting upright and staring at the pot of beef with piercing eyes.

Chapter 14, Polishing of Lies

In a small apartment near the corridor on the third floor of Old Tom's Apartment,

At the unusually clean dining table, two people and a cat were staring attentively at the steaming Burgundy beef stew.

Locke swallowed, picked up the plate, and served the soft and delicious beef to Hannah and Irene respectively.

After traveling to this world for so long, this was the first time he made Burgundy beef stew, and he was inevitably a little nervous, afraid of messing up the dish.

Of course, besides being nervous, he was more excited. Thanks to Miss Irene, he could finally taste the luxurious Burgundy beef stew again.

He was willing to eat this beef, not to mention that Irene only asked him to clean the apartment that originally belonged to him. Even if he was asked to clean Pet Street for a week, he would be willing.

Hannah picked up the knife and fork, bit her lips, and looked at the handsome boy with a tormented heart.

"Locke, is this really okay? We haven't found a job yet."

"It doesn't matter. This month's living expenses are sufficient. I believe we can find a job in a month."

Locke encouraged.

While the siblings were chatting, the black cat Irene had already put the beef into her small mouth with her claws.

A pair of blue eyes exuded a star-like light.

The mouth was completely surrounded by the taste of beef and fruit wine, and it seemed that there were elves dancing on the taste buds.

She was conquered by Locke's cooking skills again.

[Ding! Feeding the witch successfully! 】

[Witch Favorability +1]

[Witch Irene Mostia Current Favorability 8/100]

Seeing the black cat finish a plate of beef and stretching her claws directly to the pot, Locke could only serve her another plate to prevent her from licking the pot directly.

Hannah could no longer suppress the gluttony in her stomach and put the beef into her mouth with a knife and fork.

The beef melted immediately in her mouth, filling her entire mouth with the fragrance of fruit wine.

Hannah couldn't stop eating directly. She went from chewing slowly at the beginning to wolfing it down, completely ignoring her image as a lady.

"Delicious, so delicious! This is the most delicious beef I have ever eaten! Locke, you are a natural gourmet."

Hannah hesitantly praised.

Locke also tasted the simplified version of Burgundy beef stew,

"The only drawback is that Nimon grass is used instead of broth, which is still a bit forced, but the taste is also about 70% of it. I will definitely make authentic Burgundy beef stew for you in the future."

Gourmet Locke commented.

Irene raised her furry cat head and looked at Locke expectantly.

Hannah also showed a surprised look,

"It's so delicious, but it's still not authentic?"

"Yes, authentic Burgundy beef stew should use Burgundy beef stew, a whole bottle of Burgundy red wine should be used, and broth should be used at the end."

Locke explained.

"I have never heard of Burgundy red wine. Where is this red wine produced?"

Hannah's beautiful eyes were full of curiosity. As a senior reporter, she actually knew less than her brother, a "witch lover", which made her a little frustrated.

"Burgundy, France."

Locke said it, and then he realized that he had overlooked a fact. Where is France in this world now?

"France?"

Hannah and Irene showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Locke explained,

"In the Age of the Gods, there was a country called Farmansmianich on the Western Continent, abbreviated as France. Burgundy is a wine-producing region in Farmansmianich. When France and the Kingdom of Matic were fighting for border territory, Louis X personally went to war. During the war, he attacked a ranch. The chef used local ingredients and combined local beef with Burgundy red wine from his hometown to create this delicious dish, which was passed down to later generations."

When it comes to making up stories, Locke is good at it. He has read many miscellaneous books in this world.

Among them, there is a book of unofficial history of the Age of the Gods that is not recognized by the public. It records that there were countless kingdoms on the Western Continent, and each kingdom was built by a god. Farmansmianich is one of them.

Hannah once again sighed at her brother's knowledge, "Locke, is it taught in a secondary vocational school?"

"No, I studied mechanical manufacturing, and my grade is C."

Locke reminded.

"Then how do you know about the Kingdom of Farmansmianich?"

Hannah looked at Locke suspiciously, suspecting that her brother was making up lies to fool her, but the dish he made was indeed very delicious.

"Thanks to Hannah, I have read a lot of books about history."

Locke explained.

Hannah completely believed her brother's words this time.

Irene narrowed her eyes, and from Locke's rising soul, she could see that this guy was definitely lying.

It's just that this dish, after being polished by his inexplicable lies, seems to have become more delicious.

"Wait, Locke."

Smart Hannah found the loophole in Locke's language.

"Hundreds of years ago, why do you seem to have eaten authentic Burgundy beef stew? Just now, you gave a comment that the taste is only 70% to 80% similar?"

"Because I have experienced the War of the Gods and have lived to this day."

Locke said seriously.

Hannah covered her mouth and burst out laughing.

She knew that Locke was telling a cold joke again. Sure enough, the previous history was all made up by him.

Locke looked at his sister's bright smile and laughed along.

Irene was eating all the time, eating three plates of beef with the physique of a cat.

If Locke hadn't stopped her, she would have continued to eat.

In the end, the two of them and the cat finished the whole pot of beef.

The life bar above Hannah's head also changed quietly, from one month to 60 years, and Locke got feedback from the system again.

[Life Insight: 3/1000]

That means he has successfully changed Hannah's fate.

Is it really a water source problem?
