Luo Lanxier patted the hard pumpkin and shook his head, wondering how he could finish it all by himself. Then he slid his fingers across the surface of the tomato, pausing for a moment before picking up one.

There is still bread in the cupboard. Hmm, if I cook again, it will probably be left over. I won’t make a separate staple food tonight.

The silver-haired girl then scanned the area and found some chestnuts in a small bamboo basket in the corner. She had picked these some time ago in the mountains, and these were all she had left.

In his previous life, Loran Hill loved eating chestnuts, especially sugar-roasted chestnuts. The sweet, sticky and soft taste is still fresh in his memory.

The only drawback is that chestnuts are easy to spoil, and if not done properly, peeling them will be very troublesome.

Holding chestnuts and tomatoes, Loran Hill first cut small holes in the chestnuts with a tiny wind blade, and then put them into the pot. Then he injected small streams of fire into the pot, like little fire snakes, which quickly roasted the chestnuts, but not too hot to burn them.

Our sage girl is always good at fine-tuning the control of magic power.

When the chestnuts are almost ripe, the cuts gradually crack open, revealing the light yellow part inside, emitting a faint white mist, and there is a light sweet smell in the kitchen.

After the fire was dispersed and the chestnuts were still in the pot, Loran Hill took out the meat slices from the refrigerated copper box on the side, washed them, and quickly removed the moisture on the surface with air flow, and then put them into another pot where the oil was just smoking. At this time, the temperature would be about 200-300 degrees, which was just right.

Watching the meat slices sizzling in the pot and starting to emit fragrance, Loran Hill took out two pieces of chopped garlic and put them in. A strange fragrance immediately spread out, greatly stimulating people's sense of smell.

Then, every ten seconds or so, the girl would use a spatula to flip the meat slices to allow both sides to be heated evenly, causing the wonderful Maillard reaction, which is the key to the meat's tempting taste.

The surface of the meat gradually turned golden and charred, and a rich aroma began to spread. Then, seeing that the meat slices were almost cooked, Loran Hill sprinkled coarse salt on them. Before the salt grains were completely melted, he took out the meat slices and placed them on a white porcelain plate.

The tempting color and aroma immediately spread. Delicious steak does not need too much seasoning, its own flavor is tempting enough.

By the way, the girl learned this cooking method online. At that time, she was working outside and didn't have much money. Occasionally, she wanted to eat delicious food, so she would try to cook it herself.

This is originally a method for frying steak, but it seems to work well when used on other meats occasionally, as long as the thickness of the steak is appropriate.

The reason for using large-grain salt is that it will give you a roller coaster-like taste with ups and downs, while fine salt will be bland, either too salty or too bland.

After leaving her hometown, she, who originally could not cook, became a skilled chef in just a few years. However, the food made by this self-taught girl did not taste like the food from her hometown.

It is more complex and diverse, and even our parents' generation has never been exposed to all kinds of new things.

After frying the steak, the girl sat at the dining table and ate it with bread and tomato slices. After finishing her meal, Loran Hill placed some peeled light yellow chestnuts in front of the dark crow and watched the little guy peck at them. Then she took the remaining sweet chestnuts and sat back by the fireplace.

It was already dark outside and night was gradually falling.

Sitting by the warm fireplace, Loran Hill turned the yellowed pages in the firelight. When he paused occasionally, he would pick up a chestnut beside him, peel it, and eat it in small bites, just like a hamster living in its own small cave in winter, spending a comfortable and quiet night.

I'll write something relaxing to ease the mood a bit, but I don't know if you guys will like it.

In fact, Qingkong has been feeling a little anxious lately and can’t hold on any longer.
