Chapter 25 Noble Phantasm for Children - Ice Cream

The simple yet full of fun research life continued for a few more days. After harvesting an ice ball and three foster ice fireflies during his trip to the snowy mountains, the number of monsters around Xia Yu finally stabilized for a short time. Posture.

In the past few days, Xia Yu also fully realized how strong Noelle's professional ability was as a maid: house maid, living room maid, laundry maid, kitchen maid... Any job related to the maid career Noelle They are all working hard to complete:

When you get up in the morning, the hot water for washing has been brought to the room. When you come to the kitchen, every ingredient that can be prepared in advance has been neatly cut and matched. There will definitely be no shortage of daily necessities that you want to use.After observing himself cooking several times, Noelle was always able to place the required side dishes or condiments at the most convenient place for him at the most appropriate time.

After returning to the room after a busy day, warm bath water and clean clothes for a change of clothes were all ready... Xia Yu was sure that if he hadn't insisted that the cooking process must be done by himself, the meals at the time of each day would be Noelle will definitely do a good job with due diligence.

Since Noelle is still a trainee knight of the Knights of the West Wind, she can also do bodyguard and combat work that is not something that ordinary maids can do.An almighty maid, this is Xia Yu's evaluation of Noelle through his observations over the past few days.

The most favorite thing for such a perfect little maid, apart from working and helping, is to poke the slimes rolling around on the ground with her fingers in her spare time, and then observe the feeding ice fireflies and thunder fireflies. And holding flower pots and taking flowers out to bask in the sun.This made the small group of monsters raised by Xia Yu gradually adapt to this little maid who often met them.

Xia Yu was extremely surprised when she heard Noelle mention that she had failed the selection of the Knights seven times.Even if there was no God's Eye at that time, could such a perfect knight maid not even be selected as the most entry-level city patrol officer of the Knights of the West Wind?Strong curiosity prompted Xia Yu to ask Kaia, the cavalry captain, and finally got a very reasonable explanation.

That is because Noelle is too simple and does not understand the world, self-love and reasonable rejection.After listening to Kaiya's description of Noel's "glorious deeds", Xia Yu felt his scalp numb.

The sinister businessman who wanted to monopolize the alcohol industry in Mondstadt felt that he was being manipulated because he observed the habits of the people he took care of so carefully, so he fled Mondstadt overnight. As a result, Noelle mistakenly thought that it was because of his work. Not being in place caused me to feel depressed for several days.

According to the regulations of the Knights, as long as there is no great crisis, shout "Noah! 'Three words have become an absolutely forbidden item for the Knights.

There is also the interaction with Kelly. Once chatting with the naughty and mischievous Kelly, Noelle mistakenly believed that explosions were part of the training. As a result, Noelle and Kelly were arrested by the angry Captain Qin. Went to confinement...

There are many more things like this. After becoming a trainee knight, Noelle not only failed to grow in terms of sophistication and self-love, but instead became even more uncontrollable.

For example, he rushed into the snowy mountain alone, carried the missing person back in the snow-covered area, and then fell down himself. Fortunately, due to timely treatment and being lucky, Noelle just caught a cold and did not show up. The series of severe cases of frostbite were the reason why the captains of the Knights and the acting captain Qin did not dare to let her become an official member.

"So, little brother Xia Yu, sending Noelle as your bodyguard is actually the way the knights thought of it after weighing it to control the danger she encounters within a controllable range. If you can help us enlighten this stubborn The younger generation would be better."

Although Kaia usually looks unreliable and smiling, when talking about Noel's problem, Xia Yu can feel the care and helplessness behind Kaia's words for the stubborn junior.But in this case, in this technologically backward environment, wouldn’t I be raised as a useless person who knows nothing but cooking?

Somewhat Xia Yu expected was that the construction period of his small courtyard, which originally took about three weeks to repair, was greatly shortened after the magician and the few idle members of the Fools joined. According to Noel's morning report Judging from the news when I left, the courtyard will be completed at noon today.

'Dong-dong-dong! 'The rapid and brisk knock on the door made Xia Yu, who was heating the milk, cream, and egg yolk mixture over water, quickly move the small container aside, and ran to open the door. A familiar fiery red figure appeared in Xia Yu's eyes. .

Oh yes... today is the time for Keli to be released from the confinement room.

"Dang Dang Dang! Keli appears! Brother Xia Yu, we made an appointment before, let's go catch the fish in the Cider Lake together!" It seemed that he finally got a chance to come out after being bored in the confinement room for a long time, his eyes were shining with dazzling light. The little guy looked extremely happy.

Immediately, Keli's face changed slightly, as if she had discovered something. The little guy turned from happy to curious, gently wagging his delicate little nose and sniffing, after discovering Xia Yu's food placed on the operating table. After the container, Keli happily trotted ahead of Xia Yu and came to the container. After she stretched out her fingers and dipped some viscous milky white liquid into her mouth, Keli's face became a little weird.

"It's hot, so sweet! But it's a bit boring." Keli clicked her tongue and didn't look like she liked it very much.

Hey, isn't this just right?Xia Yu's eyes lit up when Keli arrived.

If you want to ask which age group likes ice cream, then children will definitely occupy this throne.What's more, what I'm making today is a simple ice cream. Even a little guy like Keli can participate in the making process.

"Of course it doesn't taste good now because it's not finished yet. Wait a minute. Once this is done, it will definitely be more interesting than going to Cider Lake to catch fish." After gently patting the head of Keli who was wearing a peaked cap, Xia Yu once again heated the container through the water and stirred it.

What is brother Xia Yu doing?Are you boiling milk with sugar... Hmm, it doesn't seem to be the case?Keli, who was standing aside and watching, was filled with doubts. Then, the little guy whose vision circled around the house was shocked.

So many monsters!Liar flowers, slimes, flying fireflies...Keli has only been in confinement for about a week, and the number and types of monsters around Brother Xia Yu have increased several times! ?Keli, whose attention was diverted by the monster, first looked at the ice-type slime that was freezing a small basin of water by the water table. With the continuous efforts of the small blue-white ball, the water in the basin was removed from the cylindrical mold that was buckled into it. The outside of the location has been frozen into solid ice.

???

A series of operations full of confusion made Keli even more confused. Although due to her parents, Keli is very talented in taking risks, but if the little guy was placed in another place, the situation would be like this. .

Keli grabbed the corner of Xia Yu's clothes and shook her gently. When she saw Xia Yu's eyes turning to her, Keli started to act coquettishly.

"Brother Xia Yu, please don't embarrass Keli~ How on earth can this become delicious?" The little guy's sweet voice and his big flashing eyes made Xia Yu couldn't help but laugh.

Because the ice slime is frozen using salt water solution, the temperature of the ice cubes is far below zero. After a while, he continued to let the little guy spit the frost breath towards the outer wall of the mold. Xia Yu felt that this ice cream production was extremely successful. Rate.

Just as the mixed solution was almost heated, Xia Yu first placed the mixed solution in a container filled with ice water, then took out a small egg beater customized by Wagner from the cabinet on the side and handed it to the little guy's hand. inside.

"Keli, the next most important job will be left to you." Xia Yu, who deliberately looked extremely serious, pointed to the hollow mold. "I will pour the mixed solution into this mold in a while. All you have to do is keep stirring with the ice wind of the slime. When it succeeds, you will get something quite delicious~ "

"Huh?" She didn't expect to get such an answer. Although Keli felt that what she was about to do would not be as adventurous and interesting, it would be nice to at least be able to participate in the production process.Keli, who planned to give it a try, nodded.

As the milky white mixed solution slowly flowed into the mold container, Keli, who was holding an egg beater, began to stir quickly. The little guy who was observing carefully became more convinced of one thing.

As expected, this white liquid is not just milk. How can milk be so viscous?But...what exactly is this?

As time went by, the solution that was originally only semi-fluid began to gradually become viscous, and the strength consumed during stirring also began to increase.The slime spilled on the wall of the mold also began to stick to the wall and solidified. Keli, who was stirring for the first time, began to look a little panicked.

Ugh... The ones stuck to it were starting to become unmovable... Just when Kelly didn't know what to do, a large handful of berry bits were added to the mold.Then, Xia Yu on the side took the eggbeater from Keli's hand.

"You did a pretty good job, leave the rest to me."

Phew~ It’s finally over!After gently shaking her sore little arms, Keli looked at Xia Yu who was performing the operation skillfully with curious eyes.

Amazing!The white mucus splashed on the wall of the mold will be scraped up and sent back to the bottom immediately, and the newly added berry particles are evenly mixed into this food that I don’t know what to call.Moreover, the mucus just now has begun to turn into tiny ice and snow particles, just like the snow in Longji Snow Mountain!

The resistance coming from his hand and the observed change in the state of the mixture made Xia Yu stop his exerting right arm, and gently touched the top of the small white ball on the side to indicate that it was doing well. He took out a small bowl, then scooped out a round milk berry ice cream ball with a spoon and put it into the bowl.

"It's done, try it. Be careful not to eat too much in one bite, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable with ice in your mouth and have a headache~"

Such beautiful food, just like a little snowball!Keli, who took the bowl and spoon handed by Xia Yu, was not in a hurry to taste it. Instead, she first observed this kind of food that she had never eaten before.

The cold ice is exactly like the snow. I didn't expect that you can make food by imitating the snow.Hmm... Since it is made from the sweet but greasy viscous liquid just now, there shouldn't be much change in taste.Then Brother Xia Yu also added Luoluo berries to it, wouldn't it make it even sweeter?

No matter how Keli guessed, the little guy couldn't figure out why Xia Yu would say that this kind of greasy food would become delicious.Sure enough, let’s try it.After scooping up a small spoonful of milk ice cubes mixed with berries and putting it into her mouth, the cool feeling lifted Keli's spirits.

It’s so cold, but it tastes so delicious!I originally thought that the frozen food would be as hard as ice cubes, but I didn't expect that the texture would be soft.

Moreover, the greasy feeling is gone, and all that is left is the sweet taste of milk and sugar spreading on the tongue, with a few sweet raspberries... The little guy with shining eyes quickly took the small bowl The ice cream in his mouth was completely destroyed, and then he looked at Xia Yu again with his big shining eyes.

"Brother Xia Yu, Keli still wants it! Give some more to Keli~"

Chapter 26 Noelle: This dessert is top notch!

What kind of maid does it take to be called a professional and competent maid?On this issue, Noelle has her own unique insights: as long as she does her job to perfection so that the people who serve her can’t find any problems, and considers everything one step at a time, she is a competent maid.

For example, for example, Mr. Xia Yu is now responsible for guarding. Captain Qin’s request is that Mr. Xia Yu must not be provoked and the monsters around him have the opportunity to hurt people. The people who need to be guarded are mainly the old nobles who want to stir up trouble. The remaining people are the remaining people, followed by the fools and the members of the treasure stealing group who work for money.

Then, as long as I work as Mr. Xia Yu's full-time maid before Captain Qin announces the cancellation of this mission, all problems can be solved perfectly.

Xia Yu's work and rest time are quite regular, so it is much more convenient to wait on guests than the guests that the knights once received.The only thing that was a little depressing was that he was quite stubborn in cooking. After tasting Mond's cuisine, Xia Yu returned to cooking all his dishes by himself.

However, is this the cooking level of a professional chef... Although I am very reluctant to do so, I always feel that there is a big gap between my own cooking and Mr. Xia Yu's.

Today, the construction of a new residential courtyard has been completed. In order to prevent passing residents from seeing the various monsters raised within the walls, the entire courtyard is surrounded by high stone walls. After finishing the garden and cleaning the room, Nuo Al looked extremely happy.

Next, after helping Mr. Xia Yu complete the move, he can play with his three ice fireflies without restraint. By the way, he can also rub the chubby slimes and soft liar flowers.

Um!Take action now!

————————————————————————

Following the road to the door of Xia Yu's room, the little girl's voice coming from inside the house caught Noelle's attention.

"Brother Xia Yu, does this kind of milk ice cream require ice-based magic to freeze it?"

"Of course, because it can only freeze into ice at low temperatures, you have to eat it quickly, otherwise it will melt."

"It would be nice if Keli's God's Eye was also of the ice attribute... No! If it were of the ice attribute, wouldn't it be able to ignite the bomb? Hmm... So Keli's God's Eye must be of the fire attribute. OK!"

Speaking of which, today was indeed the day that Keli came out of the solitary room. No wonder she could not be found near the cider lake at the side entrance.Listening to the conversation in the room, Noelle had a smile on his face.

And the ice cream they mentioned just now should be something similar to ice cubes, right?

Since Chenxi Winery was once slandered by a hostile businessman for using ice-based slime to control the temperature of the wine cellar, and because he had conquered ice-based slimes, Noelle could roughly guess that the milk should be frozen. What is the approximate shape.

If you want such a hard food to be eaten easily, you have to use a hammer to break it into crumbs, but if that's the case, Keli shouldn't be obsessed enough to doubt the properties of the God's Eye.Therefore, there should be other mysteries here.

After gently knocking and pushing open the door, it was completely different from what Noel had imagined: Kelly sitting on the chair was looking longingly at the small mold cup in the ice slime insulation. , there are still some white marks left by milk on the corners of the mouth.

"Huh? Sister Noelle is finally back!" Kelly, whose eyes were shining, picked up the small cup of ice slime that was kept warm and quickly ran to Noelle. She raised her hand and handed the small cup to Xiang Huan. While Noelle didn't understand what happened, Kelly showed off to Noelle with a smug expression on her face.

"Sister Noelle, try this quickly. This is the milk ice cream made by Keli and brother Xia Yu together!"

After receiving the small cup from some cold hands, Noelle was not busy tasting it immediately. The girl who observed carefully found that the items in the cup were very similar to her guess, but there were some differences in details. .

Compared to pure milk ice cubes, the surface of the dessert mixed with small berry particles in my hand is extremely rough, with no trace of the beautiful reflective layer that should belong to the plane of the ice cubes.At the same time, the ice in the entire cup still kept it in one piece... In this case, could the wooden spoon Keli handed to herself be able to scoop it out?

No... Since I could get Kelly's praise, this milk berry ice cube should be different from what I imagined in some places. With the mentality of giving it a try, Noelle put the spoon into the cup. The white ice cube in the middle doesn’t look very reliable.

"So soft..." It was completely unimaginable that the wooden spoon could be inserted into the slightly yellowish ice cream as easily as a sharp sword. Noelle, who felt a little suspicious, quickly confirmed the force he used.

That's right... I didn't subconsciously use huge force to break the ice layer, and the wooden spoon was just an ordinary household item.I didn’t expect that ice cubes could be made so soft. What exactly was added to it?Strong curiosity drove Noelle to put the scooped up ice cream into her mouth.

tasty!The comfortable feeling made Noelle close her eyes and savor it carefully.

The smooth and jade-like texture makes it impossible to imagine that this is food made from ice cubes. The thicker taste than normal milk should be due to the addition of cream, and then adding sugar in a certain proportion to match the taste.

Then there is the sweet scent of raspberry that melts on the tongue when the lips and teeth are pressed lightly. The refreshing fruity fragrance well neutralizes the slightly greasy feeling on the tongue when tasting slowly.Of course, this does not mean that milk ice cream alone is not delicious. If you simply take a sip and taste the sweet taste before swallowing it, this rich milky aroma and sweetness are just right.

This cup of milk ice cream will definitely be judged as a high-end dessert even by the old nobles!With excellent professionalism, Noelle quickly completed the quality positioning of the cup of raspberry milk ice cream he tasted.

Do you want to learn how to make this dessert from Mr. Xia Yu?No, the specific proportions of such a high-quality dessert must be hard to find... Thinking of this, Noelle looked at Xia Yu with even more admiration.

"How's it going? Doesn't it taste good?" Noelle's satisfied look made Kelly, who held her head high and put her hands on her hips, look even more proud. Looking at Noelle who nodded with certainty, Kelly smiled. She turned back and proudly gestured to Xia Yu with scissors, looking satisfied as if she had completed all the production processes alone.

"Mr. Xia Yu, thank you for leaving me the dessert. Do you have any schedule for this afternoon? Also, the construction of the small courtyard outside the city has been completed. Do you need to move there now?" The happy mood brought by the delicious ice cream When Noelle asked Xia Yu, she smiled much brighter than before.

"Are you ready?" Xia Yu, who was already familiar with Noelle's work character, knew that when Noelle meant that the construction was completed, the house and garden must have been sorted out and ready for move-in.Considering that it could provide a better environment for the monsters at home, Xia Yu nodded.

"Okay, I don't have too many things anyway, so let's finish the move first and then go to Qingquan Town."

Chapter 27 A sudden change occurred and the outing was forced to stop

Qingquan Town is a small town where most of the residents are hunters. The residents in the town not only possess strong hunting skills, but also have very smart minds.They understand that fishing in the lake is dangerous, so they strictly control the amount of hunting each year.

But even so, the meat supplied by Qingquan Town to Mondstadt City still accounts for more than half of the annual consumption of Mondstadt City. Under the leadership of the hunter leader Dulav, the residents of Qingquan Town are in the small towns around Mondstadt. It's the best life I've had.

It only takes more than half an hour to walk from Mondstadt to Qingquan Town. The reason why Xia Yu wants to go to Qingquan Town is actually very simple.

Since we have decided to open a small stall at the side entrance of Mondstadt, it is best to ensure the supply of goods. The purpose of going to Qingquan Town is naturally to negotiate a direct supply agreement with the hunters, which can greatly reduce the cost of supply. The cost of your own raw materials.

In addition, this short trip can be regarded as taking Kelly out for fun.Taking into account Keli's backpack full of bombs and her fire-attribute God's Eye, Xia Yu was afraid that this little guy who had just walked out of the solitary room would be locked into the solitary room again before he could run for a while.

But Keli didn't seem satisfied with this arrangement...

After sorting out the moved furniture, Xia Yu took Keli to the commercial plaza and felt the corner of his clothes being pulled. He lowered his head and saw that Keli's face was full of hesitation as he pulled the hem of his clothes. look. "Brother Xia Yu, Keli has been to Qingquan Town several times. Can you go to another place for adventure?" Keli said in a low voice, her big orange-red eyes full of expectation.

It was completely unexpected that Keli would lose interest from the beginning. The embarrassing situation made Xia Yu feel that the only way to solve this problem was to bring out the ultimate killer weapon.

Don't throw away the rest. Coat it with egg liquid and bread crumbs and fry it in a pan until golden brown. The kids next door are crying with envy.Although it is just a joke, it fully illustrates how much children like fried food.

It is meat, with a golden coating, crispy texture, flavor and very delicious. This is the main reason why fried food attracts children.What's more, what I want to prepare is not 'leftover ingredients', but wild boar meat that will be carefully selected and pickled. The bread crumbs have also been upgraded to a mixture of bread crumbs and chopped pine cones.

Just as Xia Yu was about to throw the Nut Bread Crumb Fried Pork Chop, a killer weapon against the children, a blond woman standing next to the fountain not far away and put away the wings of wind after landing from the sky caught the attention of the two.

Isn't it... that the use of Wings of Wind is prohibited in this city?The black-haired girl giving a thumbs up, the blond girl with a happy face, and the humanoid creature with wings less than one meter in size that followed the two of them. The strange combination made Xia Yu look at it a few more times. Eye.

Unlike Xia Yu who was confused, when she saw another black-haired girl dressed as a red ranger next to the blond girl, Keli, who was originally listless, was instantly full of energy. "Ah! It's Sister Amber!" Keli pointed at the black-haired girl and looked extremely happy.

"Are you an acquaintance of Keli?" Xia Yu, who was asking, smiled when he saw the little guy nodding his head. After gently patting Keli's little shoulder, Xia Yu said with a smile: "In this case, go say hello to her..."

However, before Xia Yu could finish his words, the sudden change in the sky made everyone in the fountain square alert.The city of Mondstadt, which originally had clear skies and a gentle breeze, was instantly shrouded in dark clouds, and a violent hurricane poured into the city like a flood.

what happened? ? ?The sky changed faster than his face, causing Xia Yu's brain to stop thinking. His instinct drove him to quickly pick up Keli beside him and run to the warehouse door of Mondstadt Department Store. "Keli, hold on to my arm!" While shouting to Keli who was also stunned, the huge sound in the sky made Xia Yu raise his head.

dragon!It's actually a dragon!The six-winged dragon, which was more than ten meters long, flew past the roof of the building in Mondstadt. The terrifying situation made Xia Yu freeze on the spot.

His body felt as cold as being frozen, his legs and feet were completely out of control as if they were petrified, and his brain, which was already overloaded, now completely went into a state of emptying.How could Xia Yu, who was originally in a peaceful technological world, have the opportunity to face the dragon like now?Although I have come into contact with many small monsters since I came to this world, how can they compare with the giant dragon that is the dominant monster among monsters?

Several dark red tentacles extended from the dragon that quickly passed through the sky and pierced Xia Yu's limbs. The swelling and unbearable pain immediately caused Xia Yu to fall to the ground.

'Why?I just want to take a look at Mondstadt a thousand years later..." Just like Dulin, he is also a dragon, so he is feared? ''The protection of the Four Winds has been forgotten... destroyed!destroy! ''wrong!This is not what I expected, Dulin's Corruption... Barbatos...'

"It hurts...it hurts so much!!!" Even if you shout out, you won't get any relief. It's like you are forcibly witnessing someone's heart. The complex emotions entangled with countless resentments and regrets are almost overwhelming. Xia Yu, who endured the physical pain, had his head explode. Fortunately, the body's personal protection mechanism saved Xia Yu who was in danger. Within five seconds, Xia Yu, who vented his pain loudly, fainted.

What seems a bit ominous is that the connections between the black lines and Xia Yu have become more numerous. The black lines that have gradually become thicker have expanded to the point where they are close to tentacles, bulging and shrinking towards Xia Yu's body that is injected with black liquid. The tentacle brought Keli to her senses.

"Brother Xia Yu!!" Keli, who finally came back to her senses, was frightened by the fainted Xia Yu. Compared to falling to the ground unconscious, Keli was even more frightened by the dozens of black tentacles stuck on Xia Yu's body that seemed to be instilling something. Feel worried.Keli, who wanted to reach out and grab these tentacles and pull them out, found that her behavior was like touching the reflection in the lake, unable to touch these tentacles that were getting stronger.

"Sister Amber! Come and help Keli!" In desperation, Keli had no choice but to ask Amber for help in the center of the fountain square. The little guy who shouted immediately attracted the attention of Amber and the blond hair beside her. The girl and the unknown humanoid creature paid attention. Just as they were about to rush here, the returning dragon crossed the sky again.

Dozens of violent small wind tornadoes wreaked havoc in the city of Mondstadt, causing residents to flee with screams of terror, the Knights of the West Wind who tried their best to help the people evacuate, and others who were killed by the dragon because they were running a beat slower in the direction of Keli. The blond girl was swept up high in the sky, and the chaos caused by the dragon plunged the entire Mondstadt into a huge crisis.

"Ying!" Amber, who turned around and shouted after dodging the wind tornado, looked at the blond girl who was swept up in the air. When she saw the girl successfully opened the wings of wind, Amber breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes turned to the more serious problem - Keli, who had started to cry, and Xia Yu, who fell into a coma after passing out.

"Sister Amber! Brother Xia Yu...what's wrong with him?" Keli, who was crying, used her young body to support Xia Yu, who was almost wrapped in black tentacles, with tears flowing down her cheeks. , perhaps because of the good luck brought by the four-leaf clover, even in such a chaotic situation, there is still a trace of pure land around Keli's location, whether it is the phoenix dragon scroll or the blown up building debris, it has been avoided This lucky little guy.

Xia Yu, who had been enveloped in darkness and glowed with a dark red light like an abyss, made Amber feel frightened. Is this the black blood of Warcraft?The black blood of Warcraft actually actively erodes humans through Tevarin... How is that possible?

"Keli, be careful, this person has been eroded by black blood!" Amber, who felt that the situation was not good, reminded her and pulled Keli up to take her away from Xia Yu. However, the man who hugged Xia Yu's waist Keli didn't do what Amber said. When she found Amber pulling her, Keli hugged her tighter.

"No! Keli must not leave brother Xia Yu here!" Keli shook her head crazily and broke away from Amber's hands. The little guy, whose eyes were completely red from crying, shouted to Amber loudly: "Yes, Keli Li caused brother Xia Yu to come to Mondstadt City. If it weren't for Keli, brother Xia Yu would never have encountered such danger, so Keli must do her best to help brother Xia Yu!"

But... creatures contaminated by black blood... Thinking of the monsters he saw during the investigation that were contaminated by black blood and completely lost their minds, Amber felt extremely headache.
