Erin is also thinking about whether to help Locke overcome this difficulty?
Without risking exposing herself, she would definitely lend a helping hand. After all, this was the servant she had chosen.
But this involves the Abnormality Bureau and C13.
If the investigator really enters Locke's dream world, the fact that he is still alive will be exposed.
Irene can use special silk threads to control Locke's body movements, but she cannot control Locke's mind, let alone protect him in his dreams.
She now faces two choices.
First, kill Locke so he doesn't reveal his secret.
Second, help Locke, but you need to pay some price.
Do you want to help this rebellious servant who just used himself to block mosquito attacks?
Locke, who calmed down, quickly figured this out.
As far as secrets are concerned, Miss Witch is the same person who hides secrets as herself, but her secret can be easily kept by killing herself, but her own secret must rely on her help.
It's like weights standing at both ends of a scale. If there is complete imbalance, the scale will naturally tilt to one side.
Locke must increase the weight on his side, improve his status in the heart of Miss Witch, and prevent Miss Witch from thinking about killing people and silencing them.
"Xiao Ai, I was wrong."
The first is a sincere apology. I must apologize very sincerely for using a black cat to ward off mosquitoes.
"To make it up to you, I'll give you extra food tonight."
The second is to throw out snacks that are very attractive to foodies.
The black cat's blue vertical pupils indeed became brighter.
"What to eat?"
"Eat BBQ."
"barbecue?"
"Charcoal grill."
Erin swallowed and decided to finish the barbecue cooked by the servant before deciding whether to kill him or not.
As long as you do it before he goes to sleep, you'll be fine.
In short, killing Locke was like squeezing an ant to death for Irene.
Locke shook his scarf and coat to make sure there were no insects on him, and then walked towards Old Tom's apartment.
Nowadays, the only thing Locke can do is his cooking skills.
No, he also has handsome appearance.
But seducing a cat is a very weird thing to do.
After returning to the apartment, Hannah had already walked out of the room and looked at Locke with several bags on his face in surprise.
"Locke, where have you been?"
"I went for a run and exercise. Look, my sweat was like a waterfall. You should exercise more after meals."
Locke said with a smile.
"your face."
"Meeted a few enthusiastic bees."
Hannah covered her forehead with one hand. She didn't expect that her brother was so old and liked to do such childish things as poking hornet's nests. She turned around and walked into the room and took out a bottle of ointment from the drawer.
At this time, Locke had already gotten into the kitchen.
I had planned to make soup stock in the evening, but now I can prepare it.
Wash the beef bones and part of the beef offal and put them in a pot. First, blanch the beef offal and beef bones in boiling water, and then rinse them with cold water.
Thanks to Bedem's generosity, there was enough leftover beef offal to make bamboo skewers.
Cut them and skewer them with homemade bamboo skewers.
These bamboo sticks were made by Locke in his first year in this world. Once, Hannah gave out a bonus, and the siblings cooked a barbecue with bamboo sticks.
Afterwards, due to financial constraints, I never used it again.
Now, in order to please Miss Witch, they will start to shine again.
Erin watched in confusion as Locke used bamboo skewers to string the beef offal piece by piece.
"Why not wrap it in honey and sauce and put it in the oven? What are the bones on the side used for? Why do you have to throw away the stew?"
"Sorry, dear lady, we don't have an oven at home. We can only use charcoal grilling. This primitive method can be called barbecue. In addition, the bones are used to make stock, which can only be drunk tomorrow. A good pot of stock, It needs to be simmered for at least 4 to 6 hours, and if you spend it overnight, the effect will be better.”
Locke explained in detail that he is very patient with Eileen now, and it can even be said that he does not dare to slack off at all.
Hannah also walked into the kitchen and happened to hear her brother talking to the cat Xiao Ai, with a strange expression on his face.
She walked to Locke and said, "Here, put the medicine on. Don't you feel any pain?"
It hurts, but as soon as I think about my life being lost, it doesn't hurt that much anymore. Saving my life is more important.
Locke answered his sister's question in his mind, lowering his head so that Hannah could easily apply the medicine to herself.
After applying some cold ointment, the pain on my face was slightly relieved.
Locke said,
"Hannah, help put these bamboo stick meats on the charcoal brazier."
"Ah, do you want to have barbecue today? But we are very full for dinner."
Hannah pouted and realized that her brother Locke was becoming more and more greedy.
Although she will soon be able to work as a reporter again, Locke is not able to save money by eating like this every day. How can he marry a wife in the future?
"I didn't eat enough, I'm sorry, Hannah, and you will have income soon, so you won't be stingy with this late night snack, right?"
Locke raised his eyebrows.
Hannah suddenly felt guilty, suspecting that she had eaten too much and that her brother had not eaten enough.
So, she took the meat on bamboo sticks and walked out of the kitchen.
Suddenly, she looked back at Locke and reminded, "Don't discuss cooking with Xiao Ai anymore. If others hear it, they will think there is something wrong with your mind, my dear brother."
"Okay, I know."
Locke nodded and said perfunctorily.
Locke put onions, cloves, carrots, celery, bay leaves, green garlic, stems and other materials into the pot together with the selected beef offal and beef bones, poured in water, then turned the heat to maximum and watched. The gas meter kept ticking, and his brows jumped rhythmically.
Making soup stock takes not only time but also money.
The charcoal basin on the table is already covered with skewers.
Because Hannah had seen Locke bake once, her actions looked quite professional.
"Give it to me, Hannah."
Locke held out his hand.
Hannah handed the skewers to the chef at home, "Is the kitchen making soup? Do you need my help?"
"If necessary, go and see if the water in the pot is boiling. When it does, ask me to come in."
Hannah nodded, she could still do such a simple thing.
Rock begins the barbecue operation.
Erin was watching from the side, her black cat tail swaying from time to time.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the aroma of roasted beef offal filled the entire room.
Coated with Rock Honey sauce, the roasted beef offal has a golden color and a strong meaty aroma.
Hannah, who originally felt very full, was also aroused by the glutton in her stomach.
Erin couldn't wait to taste the first bite of grilled beef offal with bamboo skewers.
Locke handed the roasted beef offal to Irene.
Erin stuck out her tongue and licked the taste, her eyes shining.
"How about it?"
Locke asked.
"In general, it barely ranks 136th among the delicious food I have eaten."
The arrogant Erin dug out most of the bamboo sticks and offal with her cat's paw, leaving only a few scattered strings.
Locke took the remaining skewers to the kitchen and rewarded Hannah, who had been staring at the fire.
And lied that he had eaten the others.
After Hannah finished eating, she gave a thumbs up,
"It's more delicious than simple barbecue, and it's also very cheap. Locke, you are really a genius."
Locke was accustomed to his sister's praise. When he returned to the living room, he found that Miss Witch had finished all the bamboo skewers.
She touched her bulging belly, wagged her tail, and decided to wait until Locke's broth was ready, take a taste, and then decide whether to kill him or not.
