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. He was inevitably a little nervous, afraid of messing up the dish.
Of course, besides being nervous, I was more excited. Thanks to Miss Irene, I could finally taste the luxurious Burgundy beef stew again.
With this beef, he was willing to clean Pat Street for a week, not to mention that Irene only asked him to clean the apartment that originally belonged to him.
Hannah picked up the knife and fork, bit her lip, and looked at the handsome young man with great torment.
"Locke, is this really okay? We haven't found jobs yet."
"It doesn't matter. This month's living expenses are sufficient. I believe we can find it in one month."
Locke encouraged.
While the siblings were chatting, the black cat Irene had already put beef into Xiaoqiao's mouth with her paws.
A pair of blue eyes radiated as bright as stars.
The mouth is completely surrounded by the taste of beef and fruit wine, and it seems like elves are dancing on the taste buds.
She was once again conquered by Locke's cooking skills.
【Ding! Feeding the witch was successful! 】
[Witch favorability +1]
[The current favorability of Witch Irene Mostia is 8/100]
Seeing the black cat finishing a plate of beef and extending its claws directly towards the cauldron, Locke could only serve her another plate to prevent her from licking the pot directly.
Hannah could no longer suppress the greed in her stomach and put the beef into her mouth with a knife and fork.
The beef melts immediately in your mouth, filling your entire mouth with the aroma of fruit wine.
Hannah couldn't stop, and she went from chewing slowly at the beginning to devouring it, completely unable to care about the image of a lady.
"Delicious, so delicious! This is the most delicious beef I have ever tasted! Locke, you are a born gourmet."
Hannah hesitantly praised.
Locke also tasted a simple version of Burgundy beef stew,
"The only drawback is that using nimmon grass instead of stock is still a bit reluctant, but the taste is 70% or 80% better. I will definitely make authentic Burgundy beef stew for you in the future."
Foodie Locke commented.
Erin raised her furry cat head and looked at Locke expectantly.
Hannah also looked surprised,
“It’s already so delicious, isn’t it still unauthentic?”
"Yes, for authentic Burgundy beef stew, Burgundy beef stew should use a whole bottle of Burgundy red wine, and broth should be used at the end."
Locke explained.
"I have never heard of Burgundy red wine. Where does this red wine come from?"
Hannah's beautiful eyes were full of curiosity. As a senior reporter, she didn't know as much as her brother, a "witch lover", which made her a little frustrated.
“French Burgundy.”
When Locke said it, he realized that he had ignored the fact that in this world, where is France?
"France?"
Hannah and Erin looked surprised at the same time.
Locke explained,
“In the Age of the Gods, there was a country called Farmansmianich on the Western Continent, referred to as France. Burgundy was a wine-producing region in Farmansmianich. Between France and the Kingdom of Matic When fighting for the border territory, Louis X personally went on an expedition. During the expedition, he hit a ranch. The chef used local materials and combined them with local beef and Burgundy red wine from his hometown to create this delicious dish. passed down to future generations.”
Locke is very good at making up stories. He has read many miscellaneous books about this world.
Among them is an unofficial history of the Age of Gods that is not recognized by the public. There were once countless kingdoms on the Western Continent, and each kingdom was built by a god. Famansmianiqi was one of them.
Hannah once again lamented her brother's knowledge, "Locke, was he taught in a secondary vocational school?"
"No, I studied mechanical manufacturing and got a C grade."
Locke reminded.
"Then how do you know about the Kingdom of Farmansmiani?"
Hannah looked at Locke suspiciously, suspecting that her brother was making up lies to deceive her, but the dish he cooked was indeed very delicious.
"Thanks to Hannah, I read a lot of history books."
Locke explained.
This time Hannah completely believed her brother's words.
Erin narrowed her eyes, and it could be seen from Locke's rising soul that this guy was definitely lying.
It's just that this dish seems to have become more delicious after being embellished by his inexplicable lies.
"Wait, Locke."
Clever Hannah discovered the loopholes in Locke's language.
"How come you seem to have eaten authentic Burgundy beef stew hundreds of years ago? You just gave a review saying that only 70% to 80% of the taste is similar?"
"Because I am the one who experienced the war of the gods and have lived until now."
Locke said seriously.
Hannah covered her mouth and burst into laughter.
She knew that Locke was telling a bad joke again. Sure enough, he had made up all the previous history.
Locke looked at his sister's bright smile and laughed too.
Erin was busy cooking the whole time, eating three plates of beef with the body of a cat.
If Locke hadn't stopped her, she could have continued eating.
In the end, two people and one cat finished the whole pot of beef.
The life bar above Hannah also quietly changed, from one month to 60 years, and Locke also received feedback from the system again.
【Life Spying: 3/1000】
In other words, he has successfully changed Hannah's fate.
Is it really a water source problem?
In other words, there is a high probability that it is the problem of Compass Drinking Water Company.
Should we remind everyone to change their drinking water companies?
When Locke went to Mrs. Armor's house to pick up the mended vest in the evening, he specifically said,
"Mrs. Armor, have you noticed that the water quality provided by Compass Drinking Water Company is getting worse and worse, and Hannah got sick because of it. I changed to a drinking water company, and the situation improved."
"Ah? Such a thing can happen."
Mrs. Armor looked at Locke in surprise, thinking that her two daughters did have symptoms of diarrhea, so she asked, "Which family did you change?"
"Clarence Water Company."
Locke said with a smile.
Mrs. Armor paused, remembering the newspaper advertisement for the Clarence Water Company, an East End company whose water was intercepted from the upper reaches of the Cosol River.
She shook her head and changed the subject.
"Locke, go back and rest early."
Since her husband died, she has been raising her two daughters by herself, working almost from morning to night to prevent the family from falling into the abyss. If she switches to the drinking water company in the East District, she will have to spend more than half of her monthly living expenses. .
"Okay, thank you Mrs. Armor, your craftsmanship is as good as ever."
Locke took his vest and left Mrs. Armor's house with a heavy heart.
I hope it's not because of the drinking water company's problem, I hope it's because I'm overthinking it.
Otherwise, one-third of the people in the Western District will not escape misfortune.
