Chapter 1129 Wonderful Breakfast
……
After calming down, Mavica felt relieved when she heard this.
It was just a confession of feelings, not too outrageous, at least I didn't do anything more embarrassing.
But she still didn't dare to let her guard down. After all, she was hungover and had no idea what else she had said. So she asked again:
"Then... then have I said anything else weird? Like... like something even more outrageous, or something that made you feel uncomfortable?"
She stared at Ying nervously, afraid that she would hear something from Ying that would make her collapse.
When Ying heard Mavica ask "other weird things", her heart skipped a beat.
Does it count if he hugs me and calls me "Mom"?
Last night, Mavica was drunk and unconscious. She buried her head in her arms and called out "Mom" again and again in a soft and aggrieved voice. Thinking back on it now, I still find it funny and outrageous.
However, Ying thought again and felt that this matter was too embarrassing. If she told it, Mavica might crawl into the quilt again and refuse to come out.
Besides, I have already teased her once. To be honest, she probably won’t believe it now. She might even think that I am teasing her again.
After thinking it over, Ying decided to keep the matter secret and keep it to herself for the time being.
"Well, there shouldn't be any more... I guess so." Ying pinched her chin deliberately and tilted her head, pretending to be thinking seriously.
When Mavica heard Ying say this, she hugged her knees with both hands, rested her head on them, and said embarrassedly:
"I'm sorry, Ying... I confessed all that to you last night. I really didn't mean to destroy your family or cause you any trouble."
"I'm sorry that my love for Mr. Shao Yun has caused you trouble."
Seeing how cautious and apologetic Mavica suddenly became, Ying quickly waved her hand, leaned over, patted her shoulder gently, and said soothingly:
"Okay, stop apologizing! I don't blame you. On the contrary, I really like your honesty!"
"I'd only feel uncomfortable if you were hiding something. And you've already made it clear you won't interfere, so why should I be angry?"
When Mavica heard the words "You're not angry," she looked at Ying fiercely and said in disbelief:
"Are you really not angry? Strictly speaking, I'm your 'rival in love'. I've fallen in love with your husband, and you don't mind at all?"
Seeing Mavica's shocked look, Ying couldn't help but stick out her tongue, looking very calm.
"What's there to be angry about? It's not wrong to like someone, and you haven't really done anything to offend me. You haven't pestered Shao Yun, nor have you played tricks on me. Why should I be angry?"
As she spoke, Ying suddenly rolled her eyes and secretly made a little calculation in her mind.
If I can take Mavica with me on my future adventures in Nata, I will not only have a companion, but also have her as a "free guide".
After all, she is the God of Fire of Nata, and she must be more familiar with the terrain here than himself.
Thinking of this, Ying changed the subject, cleared her throat pretentiously, and said, "However, Miss Mavica, if you really feel bad and guilty and want to compensate me...
"If you have time in the future, how about joining me on an adventure in Nata? I heard there are many ruins in Nata and I've always wanted to see them!"
When Mavica heard the word "adventure," confusion was evident in her eyes, and she subconsciously repeated, "Adventure?"
She was so focused on feeling guilty and apologizing, how could Ying suddenly think of taking this risk? And even invited her specifically?
Seeing that Mavica didn't understand, Ying nodded vigorously and said expectantly:
"Yes, yes! I heard from Kinich that although you, Miss Mavica, are the God of Fire and usually have to deal with the affairs of the Office, you will occasionally take time to visit the ancient ruins of Nata and explore those places that no one has ever been to."
As she spoke, she shook her body unconsciously, and said with a look of longing on her face:
"I'm a professional adventurer. I love going to places full of unknowns like ruins and secret realms!"
"I've visited many interesting ruins in other countries before, but I haven't had the chance to explore them properly since arriving in Nata. It just so happens that we both like this, so it would be fun to go together!"
Mavica listened to Ying's explanation, looked at the expectation in her eyes, and began to ponder in her heart.
Could it be that Ying took the initiative to invite me because she was afraid that I would feel embarrassed about "confessing my feelings" and deliberately found a way out for herself, hoping to ease the atmosphere by taking an adventure together?
After figuring this out, Mavica smiled sincerely, nodded, and said happily:
"If Miss Ying doesn't mind that I occasionally get delayed due to work, I will definitely accept your invitation!"
"Of course, I'll have to wait until I finish the urgent matters at hand, when I'm not busy."
After all, you need to do your job well!
Seeing Mavica's straightforward agreement, Ying immediately smiled and clapped her hands, as happy as a child who had received candy.
"Then it's settled! Let's explore Nata's most mysterious ruins together. It's bound to be very interesting!"
As she spoke, Ying turned around, picked up the neatly folded black one-piece motorcycle suit from the chair next to her, and handed it to Mavica.
"Don't even think about taking risks now. Get dressed, get up, and go eat!"
"Okay, I'll get up right away. Please wait for me." After saying that, Mavica started to put on her clothes in front of Ying. After all, they were all girls, so there was no need to worry about anything.
Ying sat by the bed, humming a little tune and waiting patiently.
……
In the kitchen on the first floor, Shao Yun tried to make some food for breakfast today in order to reduce Shen He's burden. He only let Shen He be responsible for the staple food of breakfast, "white flour pancakes", and the "dumpling soup" specially prepared for Xitlalli.
Shen He stood in front of the chopping board, turning the rolling pin flexibly with her wrist. The snow-white dough gradually turned into a round cake of even thickness under her hands, and was then gently placed into the heated frying pan.
With a slight "sizzling" sound, the aroma of the pancake quickly spread. The golden crust had a faint burnt aroma, which made people's appetite increase just by looking at it.
However, Shao Yun also had some small regrets. Shen He was from Liyue. Although he was good at making pastries, especially noodles, he was not very good at making bread.
He thought to himself that he could teach her how to make bread when he had time in the future.
With Shen He's pastry-making skills, as long as he masters the fermentation and baking techniques, he will definitely be able to make fragrant, soft and delicious bread, which will provide more choices for breakfast.
The breakfast made by Shao Yun is called breakfast, but it is actually a "hodgepodge" stew.
First, throw the cut venison pieces directly into the pot without blanching.
Then pour the washed and diced carrots, potatoes, and onions into the pot and add enough water to cover all the ingredients.
Finally, sprinkle a handful of wild mint, oregano, and creeping thyme to cover the fishy smell with the aroma of the spices, then cover the pot and simmer.
The cooking method is not exquisite, and even a bit rough like "flying bricks with great force", but the advantage is that the ingredients are fresh and the method is practical.
(Still better than Pearson!)
As the soup in the pot gradually boiled, the fresh aroma of venison, the sweetness of vegetables and the unique aroma of spices intertwined together. The rich fragrance continued to overflow from the gaps in the pot lid, filling the entire kitchen.
Shao Yun lifted the lid of the pot from time to time and stirred it to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom. His eyes fell on the potatoes in the pot.
Potatoes are the "soul ingredient" of this soup.
The potatoes are cooked until they are soft and turn into sand, fully absorbing the delicious broth and spices of the venison. One bite of it has a smooth texture with a full meaty aroma, which is both filling and stomach-warming.
Although the method is simple, drinking a bowl of warm stew in the morning, paired with the crispy and tender white flour pancakes made by Shenhe, will definitely make you full of energy for the whole day.
……
While waiting for the soup to stew, Paimon flew over and said the baby was awake.
So, Shao Yun took out his daughter Xi, who was still rubbing her eyes, from the baby room.
The baby was wearing a soft pink onesie, with his little head resting on Shao Yun's arm, and his little hands unconsciously grabbing his clothes. He looked well-behaved and cute.
Shao Yun carefully held Xi and sat down on a chair beside the dining table. He patted her back gently from time to time and hummed a tuneless lullaby.
In front of the fuel stove, Shen He folded the freshly baked white flour pancakes one by one and put them on a clean plate.
At this time, Paimeng had nothing to do and walked around Shao Yun twice, looking forward to breakfast.
Shao Yun looked at Paimeng floating beside him, and remembered that he had driven her to the nursery last night. He couldn't help but ask with interest:
"Paimon, how was your rest in the baby's room yesterday? Did Xi's crying disturb you?"
Yesterday was his and Ying’s wedding night, so he naturally couldn’t let Paimeng, the “big light bulb”, stay in the bedroom, so he simply arranged for her to stay in the baby room.
When Paimeng heard Shao Yun's question, he tilted his head and recalled it, and gently poked Xi's little face with his fingers.
"Hmm... It's okay! At first I was worried Xi would cry in the middle of the night, but she turned out to be very well behaved and slept through the night."
"But last night, apart from helping Shen He change Xi's diaper, I seemed to have slept soundly most of the time!"
As he spoke, Paimeng suddenly changed the subject, looked at Shao Yun with sparkling eyes, and said:
"But then again, I seemed to have heard some noise next door last night..."
"Shao Yun, I have a suspicion that with all the trouble you and Ying have been going on, within ten months, Xi will have another brother or sister!"
When Shao Yun heard what Paimeng said, his expression froze instantly. He quickly reached out and covered Paimeng's mouth, lowering his voice and saying anxiously:
"Don't be such a pessimist! If Ying is really pregnant again, with her temper, she will definitely kill me! I'm already busy enough taking care of Xi, I don't want another one."
