The fact that Lola was a member of the Food Association didn't bother Xu Milu for long.
She and Lola were just strangers who met by chance. If Lola hadn't been so unlucky, she might not have bumped into Xu Milu.
Besides, only the Aoki and Aomori brothers knew that Xu Milu had used the "dark cuisine package" to save people, so they shouldn't be so foolish as to expose her.
...
...
After a night's rest, Xu Milu finally met the legendary master swordsmith, King Sanette.
Sanette had a beard just like William's, a messy tuft tied up with a gold ring. He wore a red robe, had thick, dark eyebrows, and eyes that were almost invisible, making him look just like the dwarfs in Hans Christian Andersen's stories.
When Xu Milu saw Princess Sunny sitting opposite Sanette, she instantly understood Sanette's worries.
Even among the dwarf race, Sunny is extremely petite. Her long, golden hair is naturally curly, her azure eyes are clear and bright, her tutu is cute and adorable, and with the crown on her head inlaid with jewels and flowers, she looks like a giant SD doll.
Her pale face and purplish-red lips were heartbreaking.
The elf Lola was also sitting at the long table. When she saw Xu Milu, she couldn't help but wink playfully in her direction.
In the center of the hall was a long table, with countless exquisite dishes neatly arranged, but none of them showed any signs of having been touched.
In front of Sunny was a plate of delicately grilled fish, which looked like it had only been slightly touched, but even that slight touch made her frown with sadness.
"Outsider".
Sanette's voice was deep and sounded somewhat tired.
"I heard you solved the princess's riddle?"
A row of oil paintings hung on the wall, and it was clear that the main characters in them were King Sanette and Queen Sanette. In the largest painting, the human queen was already white-haired and wrinkled, holding a little princess in her arms, with the dwarf king standing beside her. The family was smiling very happily.
Having gained some confidence, Xu Milu regained her composure and replied calmly, "Yes."
"Elder Lola recommended you to me, and I hope you can cure the princess's illness."
Sanette leaned forward slightly, her expression serious.
"If you can cure the princess's illness and get her to eat, I can grant you one request—tell me what ingredients you need now, and someone will bring them."
Made here on the spot?
Xu Milu's heart stirred, and she whispered something to the maid beside her. Soon after, a group of maids pushed a cart in one after another, and the cart was filled with all kinds of fresh ingredients.
Common ingredients like ginger, scallions, Sichuan peppercorns, and star anise are all available, along with fried dandelion, chocolate puree, cheese puree, pork chops, rabbit meat, ping-pong grapes, giant delicious strawberries, fluorescent berries, and even local specialties from Phuket, such as black needle grass and flame glass leaf powdered sugar.
There were also some strangely shaped fruits and ingredients that Xu Milu had never seen before. She ignored them and went straight to one of the ingredients.
It was a strange-looking plant with slender, spiral-shaped fruits. The upper part was a pale green, while the lower part was a bright and vivid red, clearly distinct.
【The bicolor datura: The fruit is non-toxic, has a spicy and pungent taste, and is edible. The green part has a numbing sensation, while the red part is spicy. It is a rare and precious condiment.】
This is it!
Xu Milu broke open one of the two-colored mandalas and immediately smelled an extremely pungent and spicy aroma. The unique spiciness of green peppers made her even more certain that this thing was a chili pepper from another world.
When they saw that she had chosen the two-colored mandolin, everyone in the hall couldn't help but widen their eyes slightly, and even Sunny, who hadn't reacted much, tilted her head slightly.
"You want my daughter to eat the fruit of the mandrake—everyone knows that the fruit of the mandrake is highly poisonous."
Sanette's voice was low and deep, hinting at the impending anger.
"If it's highly poisonous, why would it be found in the castle kitchen?"
Xu Milu carefully selected other ingredients, and took a moment to reply:
"I've solved the princess's riddle: no frying, no stir-frying, no boiling, no deep-frying, no eating new or old food, no sour or sweet food, no salty or bitter food, that's spicy."
"Spicy?"
Lola stroked her chin, seemingly quite interested, and spoke up before Sanette could:
"So what do you plan to do?"
Xu Milu grabbed a red-feathered pheasant and swiftly chopped it down without even blinking: "Chicken giblets spicy hot pot."
...
...
Plucking and cleaning the pheasant, removing its internal organs, heart, gizzard, and intestines, then putting the chicken meat into a pot of cold water with scallions and ginger slices to boil and remove the blood foam.
Heat oil in a wok, then stir-fry chopped scallions, ginger, garlic, star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, and Sichuan peppercorns until fragrant.
Cut a piece of pork fat into half and render the fat in a pot until it is fragrant. Cut the cleaned chicken hearts and gizzards in half, add them to the pot and cut them into sections, then stir-fry them together. Cut the two-colored mandalas into sections, with the green ones for Sichuan peppercorns and the red ones for dried chilies. Add them to the pot and stir-fry them together with the stir-fried spices over high heat.
The spicy aroma, intertwined with the wonderful fragrance of oil, immediately filled the entire hall.
"Plop—"
"Gulp... What's that smell?"
"Gurgle... It smells so good."
It's unclear who started swallowing first, but the sound of swallowing echoed loudly throughout the hall.
Sunny's eyes finally changed; she was no longer dazed, but turned to the large pot in front of Xu Milu.
"But this is still stir-frying, isn't it? It looks no different from the usual cooking method. Do you mean you'll do some additional processing?"
