Nanako and Akai's home is located on this shallow beach. It is decorated in the style of Pearl City, a low castle in light gray, with a gate made of two white seashells. The walls are painted with blue paint, and colorful coral trees of different heights grow in front of the gate. Clumps of brightly colored small fruits grow in the low bushes, and seagulls will occasionally land to peck at them.
Xu Milu pondered for a moment: Didn't they say that land in Zhucheng is incredibly valuable, and people can afford to live in castles? Is raising pigs really that profitable?
At the castle gate, maids and servants were already waiting in neat rows. Nanako said gently:
"This is Miss Milu, an important guest of mine and the Baron's. You must treat her with the utmost hospitality. It's getting late, Miss Milu. You must have never seen the sunset in Pearl City before, right? I suggest you take a look."
As she spoke, she winked playfully at Xu Milu:
“Ah Hai and I usually live by the sea, but the sunsets here are beautiful, so we come back occasionally. Miss Mi Lu, please make yourself at home.”
Ahai smiled slightly and pulled Nanako aside, saying:
"Yes, please make yourself at home, Miss Milu. Nanako and I have to go see our children, so we can't entertain you in person. I'll take you around Pearl City tomorrow as an apology."
Xu Milu never expected that the seemingly shy Ahai was actually a minor nobleman. Although a baron was only a fifth-rank nobleman, it was indeed a legitimate title.
Vera, from the Wolf Head Mercenary Group in the Snowy Valley, lost her life trying to win over the Baron by capturing the Bear Hound.
A baron, running off to work as a culinary apprentice at Granny Purple Tail's restaurant?
Xu Milu never expected that Nanako, who looked so young, already had a child.
One can only sigh at how fast time flies.
"Dear guest, please follow me. Your room is on the side closest to the beach, with a very beautiful view."
The maid nodded slightly, and as she walked, what was revealed under her skirt was not human legs, but wriggling, enormous octopus legs.
"Gagagagagag!!!"
Ah Chou suddenly became excited, raised its head and opened its mouth to bite, but fortunately Xu Milu was quick-witted and pulled it back, whispering a warning:
"You can't eat this! Do you hear me? You're not allowed to eat anything that looks like me, or I'll never take you out with me again!"
"Huh?"
With tears welling up in his eyes, Ah Chou poked at the ground with his forelimbs, looking utterly aggrieved. He couldn't understand why he could eat octopus noodles but not the octopus maid who looked similar.
...
...
Xu Milu was assigned to a room near the beach. The room was very tall and had two floors. The upper floor had a huge floor-to-ceiling window. When opened, the sea breeze would blow, and you could see a beautiful sunset, seagulls soaring high, and dense jungle.
The underground rooms are built in the water, with huge transparent glass walls keeping the seawater out. Through the windows, you can clearly see the swaying seaweed and colorful corals, and schools of fish swimming around in the shallow water, occasionally leaving a watermark with their tails.
Xu Milu touched the transparent glass wall, and a group of jellyfish swimming freely outside the wall came closer, glowing slightly, just like little elves in the deep sea.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a white figure approaching. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was a plump, white pig.
This was Xu Milu's first time observing the Luo Luo pig up close. From the outside, the Luo Luo pig is not much different from pigs on Earth, but the Luo Luo pig's limbs are more slender, and its hooves have a layer of shallow webbed feet, like duck webbed feet. When swimming, the Luo Luo pig's tail hanging behind its buttocks will rotate like a propeller, pushing the water forward.
Upon closer inspection, she noticed that the Luo Luo pig has a faint gill for breathing on the side of its head, which is why it doesn't drown.
Xu Milu: Science... never mind, the food dimension is not under the jurisdiction of science.
...
...
As expected, Nanako and Ahai did not show up for dinner that day. Xu Milu's dinner was delivered to her room by the octopus leg maid.
"Braised sea snails with sea salt, boiled purple lobster with jellyfish sauce, octopus seafood rice, pan-fried snow clam meat, air-dried pork ham, rock ginger shredded salad, dry-fried pork chops, spicy stir-fried pork chunks, dessert is seaweed volcanic mud egg tart, and drink is starfish cold drink."
As dish after dish was served, Ah Chou was also very excited, as it had an identical dinner in front of it.
"Please enjoy your dinner. If you need anything, please feel free to call me. My name is Tata, and I'm always at your service."
The octopus-leg maid noticed that Xu Milu didn't like being disturbed, so she gently made a gesture, and the chef and maid immediately tiptoed out of the room.
"Wait a moment."
Xu Milu called out to Tata:
"Baron and Nanako, I mean Baroness, it seems they've missed dinner because they're taking care of the children. Is that alright?"
Tata paused for a moment, then whispered:
"Lady Milu is unaware that the way we siren raise our offspring is quite different from that of humans. Siren, both male and female, can lay eggs, but the couple must incubate them together. It is currently sunset, and the Baroness next door to the Baron is using the remaining warmth of the setting sun to incubate her offspring."
This truly broadened Xu Milu's understanding once again.
Both males and females can lay eggs and incubate them together?
This new technology must be brought to Earth if there's an opportunity!
...
...
Regardless of the taste of the dinner, the dining environment alone was a major draw. The light from the deep blue sea shone through the glass into the room, and the ceiling was inlaid with glowing seashells. Sitting there, Xu Milu had the illusion of traveling through a galaxy.
The first dish is braised conch meat with sea salt. Fresh conch is buried in a pile of salt and heated. The aroma of sea salt seeps into the meat as the temperature rises. When this dish is served, you can use a silver fork to poke out large pieces of conch meat and take a bite to experience the most original freshness.
The lobster, as long as an adult's arm, is a pale purple color. The chef thoughtfully cuts open the lobster's hard shell to reveal the snow-white lobster meat inside. The lobster's internal organs and jellyfish are mashed into a paste, and a few basil leaves are added to make a side sauce. Dip the lobster in the sauce and eat it in one bite. The firm lobster meat is chewy, tender, and incredibly fresh.
The main ingredient in seafood paella is not rice, but octopus roe, which is similar to rice. Octopus legs are diced and stir-fried with scallions, pumpkin, tomatoes, purple cabbage and octopus roe. Finally, it is topped with a layer of mayonnaise. With one bite, the freshness of the ocean and the multiple textures of the vegetables are layered, making it extremely delicious.
I've seen Xuebei Xu Milu before. It looks like a scallop, but it's huge. It produces a full ten pounds of scallop meat every month. It's delicious just by pan-frying it with butter, and it has a sweet aftertaste.
Slices of dried pork ham paired with cantaloupe offer a delightful combination of salty and sweet flavors. Shredded ginger adds a spicy and juicy touch. The pork chops are grilled to perfection, neither too oily nor too dry, making them an excellent complement to the delicious stir-fried pork chunks.
The five-pointed starfish ice cream tasted somewhat like lemon juice, but Xu Milu refused to think about what the ingredients were.
