After a while, a whole plate of steaming pork and green onion dumplings was placed steadily in front of the girl.
She looked closely and saw that the dumplings were white and plump, shaped like exquisite ingots. The dumpling skin was crystal clear, and she could vaguely see the plump filling inside, exuding an enticing aroma.
At this time, the nimble goblin came up with a tray with soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, sesame oil, and small dishes of mashed garlic, and considerately picked up a pair of disposable chopsticks and handed them over.
The girl looked at the rows of small plates and the chopsticks in her hands curiously, her eyes full of confusion, and asked softly, "What are these?"
The goblin had a warm smile on his face and patiently introduced: "This is the dipping sauce for dumplings. You can mix it according to your preferences and it will have a different flavor. And these are chopsticks, a new type of tableware, which is very convenient for eating dumplings."
As he said that, the goblin picked up the chopsticks and began to teach the girl how to use them step by step.
Fortunately, magicians have a high learning ability, especially those who are as dexterous as girls. They mastered the use of chopsticks in just a few tries.
The girl took a deep breath, plucked up her courage, picked up the chopsticks and gently picked up a dumpling. After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to dip it in any sauce and put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly.
In an instant, the soft and glutinous dumpling skin and the fresh fragrance of the filling bloomed in her mouth. The mellowness of pork and the sweetness of green onions blended perfectly. The rich aroma made her intoxicated.
"Wow, these dumplings are so delicious!" The girl couldn't help but exclaimed, her eyes shining like the stars in the night sky, "This texture, this taste, I have never eaten such wonderful food!"
The girl said excitedly while picking up another dumpling. This time she tried to dip it in soy sauce and vinegar. After putting it in her mouth, her eyes narrowed again. "After adding the dipping sauce, it has an extra layer of mellow sour and fragrant taste. It's absolutely amazing! Everyone, don't just stare at the egg fried rice, come and try these dumplings!"
The girl's vivid description seemed to have magic. Some students around her who had originally firmly chosen fried rice could not help but be moved and began to turn their attention to dumplings.
The girl was eating with great joy, and was full of curiosity about the delicious dumplings she had never tasted before. She couldn't help but pull the busy goblin waiter and asked with blinking eyes, "What's the meat in these dumplings? It's so delicious. I've never tasted anything like it before."
The goblin waiter had a mysterious smile on his face and answered slowly, "It's pork."
"Impossible! How can pork taste like this?" The girl blurted out in shock, her voice unconsciously rising a few notches.
In her opinion, pork is the most disliked meat in the continent of Aze, no doubt about it.
On ordinary days, whenever pork is mentioned, the disgusting fishy smell seems to linger at the tip of the nose for a long time.
This was all due to the fact that the people of Aize Continent did not know how to process pork, which resulted in pork having an almost impossible-to-remove odor. No one was willing to serve it on the table, and the nobles even sneered at it. Their daily diet consisted of beef, mutton, or precious monster meat.
The goblin seemed to have expected her reaction. He still smiled and patiently explained, "This is not ordinary pork. It is local pork carefully cultivated by the School of Warcraft of the Arcane Academy. After a special cultivation method, this local pork has completely removed the original fishy smell, leaving only the pure and rich pork aroma. Try it. Isn't it particularly mellow?"
The girl was skeptical, her eyes full of confusion, and asked, "What is this special way of cultivation?"
The goblin cleared his throat and began to describe vividly: "The pigs raised by the Arcane Academy and the School of Warcraft have a very comfortable life. Every morning, before the dew has dispersed, they leisurely stroll in the mountains and forests, sipping the pure dew. When they are thirsty, they go to the clear streams in the mountains to drink water. Their daily food is also carefully selected. They eat ripe and juicy berries all over the mountains, as well as magic potions specially grown for them. These are the key to improving the flavor of the meat!"
The goblin spoke with great excitement and gestures, as if he had witnessed the growth process of the wild boar with his own eyes.
The girl listened attentively and could not help but nod slightly. If that was the case, it would make sense why the pork was so delicious.
In fact, this so-called "special breeding" is just an official statement. Merlin is well aware of the potential of pork itself, but the fishy smell is really annoying, so he asked the students of the Warcraft Academy to secretly sterilize the native pigs to remove the source of the odor caused by male hormones.
Moreover, the people of Aize Continent have a fatal misunderstanding when slaughtering pigs. They have no idea of the importance of bleeding, which causes blood to remain, further increasing the fishy smell of pork.
Merlin's improved method of slaughtering pigs cleverly solved this problem, resulting in the delicious local pork we have today.
When these students have eaten and drunk their fill and returned to the dormitory contentedly, or lie on their beds savoring the delicious food, or share with their roommates the novel feelings of having just arrived, in the distance, Merlin is leading a group of students' parents towards the Zhongtu Public School.
These noble parents were dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore dazzling jewelry, and their every move showed their wealth.
But at this moment, they had completely lost their usual grace and leisure, and their faces were filled with anxiety and concern.
Their children have never lived away from home alone, and the place they have come to is the World of Warcraft Mountains where a large number of monsters live. This civil service exam training is crucial, and they are worried about whether their children can live comfortably here.
What is the learning environment like? What if I don’t eat well or sleep well and my studies are affected?
Merlin saw through their thoughts and personally acted as a guide, leading this group of parents into the gate of Zhongtu Public School.
Along the way, he introduced with great emotion: "Dear parents, please look at the layout of this campus. It is spacious and open. The teaching buildings are well-arranged. The lighting is excellent. The classrooms are equipped with the most advanced magic teaching equipment. Whether it is theoretical explanation or interview simulation, it can provide the children with the best experience."
The parents nodded one after another with satisfaction in their eyes, and whispered to each other from time to time. Their doubts about the teaching environment gradually dissipated.
Then, Merlin took them to the dormitory area, gently pushed open a dormitory door, and said with a smile: "Everyone, take a look at the accommodation conditions. It is clean, tidy, spacious and bright. The four-person room is warm and comfortable, and it is equipped with an independent bathroom, ensuring that the children can have a quiet and comfortable resting space."
When the parents walked into the dormitory, touched the beds, and looked at the bathroom facilities, the smiles on their faces became brighter and they felt relieved.
