Chapter 852: You Don’t Need to Inherit My Family’s Golden Finger (18)
When Qu Shichu went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, he was aware of someone in the kitchen! He was walking around boldly, his footsteps were not quiet at all, and he was very arrogant.
Qu Shichu, who was still feeling sleepy, suddenly perked up, took out an axe for chopping wood from the toolbox under the stairs, and walked quietly to the kitchen.
She looked inside warily, and saw a boy with green hair, thin build, about 1.80 meters tall, with a slightly childish face. He picked up an egg and studied it with curiosity, his eyes almost glued to the egg.
Green hair, childish boy, curious? Qu Shichu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if a ray of light split her confused thoughts - this was not a thief who broke into the house, it was clearly the little tree man Pia!
It could actually transform into a human form. Qu Shichu realized this and immediately relaxed. He put down the axe in his hand, walked into the kitchen, and said to the boy who was staring at the eggs stupidly: "You are the little tree man Pia, right? You can transform into a human form? But how did you get into my house? I remember I clearly locked the door last night..."
When the young man saw that it was her, his alertness and nervousness immediately disappeared, and he said cheerfully: "I climbed in through your window, and you left a gap and didn't close it tightly..."
Qu Shichu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Then when did you become a human?"
"About an hour and a half ago." The little tree man was still reluctant to put down the egg in his hand and said absentmindedly.
"Why are you staring at that egg? Is there no egg in your world?" Qu Shichu couldn't help but be curious.
"This thing is called an egg? Why do I feel that it looks quite similar to the egg of a kind of orcs in our world? The only difference is the size." The little tree man replied.
Qu Shichu: ...
Well, now she knew that there must be a kind of orc whose original form was a chicken.
"In my world, eggs cannot turn into orcs. They are just ordinary eggs laid by poultry. They are very nutritious and we usually cook them and eat them." Qu Shichu clarified helplessly.
"What? You actually eat orc eggs?" The little tree man Pia was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out, as if this egg was not an egg, but a human being to be eaten.
Qu Shichu stroked his forehead, sighed and said, "Didn't you say that animals and plants without intelligence in your world can be eaten without worrying about cannibalism or ethical issues? Chickens are ordinary animals without intelligence and cannot transform into human form. Of course, we can eat the eggs they lay."
"You're right..." The little tree man Pia seemed to finally understand what Qu Shichu meant.
Qu Shichu finally managed to drive the curious boy out of the kitchen and let him study other things in the house.
More than 20 minutes later, Qu Shichu cooked two servings of beef brisket and tomato noodles. As he served them out, he called out to Pia, who looked like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden: "Come and have breakfast."
As expected, the little tree man Pia looked at the steaming bowl of noodles with shining eyes, and came over immediately with great interest. Then he stared at the bowl of noodles without blinking, as if he wanted to stare at something.
"Have you never eaten noodles? Didn't you say that people in your world eat animals and plants?" Qu Shichu was a little confused. Could it be that its world was another food desert?
Pia the Treeman immediately replied: "I have never eaten noodles... Although we also eat animals and plants, the types and appearance of those foods are very different from yours, so I can't recognize them at all."
Qu Shichu understood, but it was not a big problem, so he said to him: "Then you can try the food in our world yourself now."
"My name is Qingzhi." The little tree man Pia was finally dissatisfied with Qu Shichu always calling him "little tree man" and "little tree man", so he said his own name.
"Qingzhi? That's a good name." Qu Shichu praised, and then introduced himself, "You can call me Qu Shichu, Sister Qu, or Boss Qu."
"Then I'll just call you by your name." Qingzhi said quickly, and then asked her impatiently, "Can I eat now?"
"Sure, go ahead." Qu Shichu nodded.
Qingzhi carefully imitated Qu Shichu's way of holding chopsticks and tried clumsily to pick up the noodles with chopsticks. However, for a novice to use chopsticks to pick up such a difficult thing right from the start, there was a high probability that he would fail.
Qingzhi was no exception. He had no way of picking up the noodles with chopsticks, so he became a little anxious. However, Qu Shichu's cooking skills were very good. The aroma of the beef brisket noodles kept coming into his nose, making him want to eat it immediately. If the noodles didn't come with soup, he would have wanted to take it directly.
Seeing this, Qu Shichu had no choice but to go to the kitchen to get him a knife and fork, and said, "You can still use these two tools. Use whichever one works better."
Qingzhi went through great pains and sweat before finally taking his first bite of noodles. As soon as he tasted it, his eyes widened in shock, and then he continued to eat it in big mouthfuls without hesitation.
"This noodle is so delicious!" Qingzhi ate more than half of it and raised his head to sigh, "And these pieces of meat, I wonder what kind of animal it is from, it's so fragrant, chewy and delicious."
Qingzhi seemed to have never eaten anything delicious before. He finished the bowl of noodles quickly, even drinking up all the soup, and couldn't help licking the bottom of the bowl.
Qu Shichu looked at him speechlessly like a greedy cat. Could it be that his world was really a food desert?
Qingzhi looked at Qu Shichu expectantly: "Can you show me what kind of animal the meat is made of? And how to make these noodles?"
"Of course." Qu Shichu was easy to talk to. He searched for a picture of a beef cattle on his phone, handed it to Qingzhi, and said, "The beef brisket you like to eat is cut from this kind of animal. I wonder if there are animals similar to this kind of beef cattle in your world?"
Qingzhi stared at the picture carefully, and finally said in confusion: "This, I can't really recognize it. It seems that there are several animals that do look similar to this beef cattle, but they don't seem to be very similar..."
"It doesn't matter, why don't you catch them all and try again when you go back?" Qu Shichu said.
"As for the method of making beef brisket noodles, there are videos on the Internet. I'll find it for you." Qu Shichu always uses whichever method is convenient and saves trouble. She doesn't act like a kind and amiable teacher who does everything herself and goes to great lengths to accommodate others.
