Kitchen (repair)
Leonard left without any worries, while Elena had to continue to face the next situation and worry alone.
Elena, who was not in a good mood, felt even worse after seeing the imperfect dinner.
It’s really not that she is picky about food, but she only makes the same few things every day: white bread, barbecue, sausage, and vegetable soup. Anyone would get tired of eating them every day. How perfunctory is this kitchen?
Elena stood up directly: “Take me to the kitchen.”
The butler bent down and bowed: "Miss, are you dissatisfied with the dishes?"
"yes."
"Miss, what would you like to eat? I'll ask the kitchen to make it right away."
Let the kitchen do it?
What else can a kitchen do?
Apart from these four items, she had only eaten grilled fish, smoked meat, and clam soup in the past few days.
Simply put, the kitchen of the Viscount's Mansion can only make simple roasting, smoking and soup.
No matter what the ingredients are, there are only three ways to cook them.
Elena began to miss the dazzling array of delicious food before she traveled through time.
"Take me to the kitchen." Elena said again.
The butler bowed and led the way.
After turning one corner after another, the corridor became narrower and the stone slabs became slippery from clean, and Elena finally arrived at the kitchen.
Elena was deeply shocked: "...Oh my god! The food I eat every day is made in this dark, dirty, damp kitchen???"
Out of the corner of her eye, Elena also saw two little cockroaches crawling across the long table where the seasonings and ingredients were placed.
Elena felt unwell.
A strong feeling of rejection and nausea surged into her heart, and the skill box popped up in Elena's mind again.
The first option is water cleaning. This means using water to clean dirt, and is suitable for washing pots, dishes, and rags.
The second option is soil cleaning. This involves shoveling the entire surface of the soil. It is suitable for removing mold stains on walls and soil contaminants.
The third option: polishing. This means using ultraviolet light to disinfect.
Which option?
Only children make choices, adults of course want them all.
For such a dirty kitchen, just one cleaning technique is not enough.
Elena was about to select all when her reason came to her rescue.
Wait, be quiet, think about it first, has the original owner learned these cleaning techniques?
Elena searched through her memories.
That’s great. The original owner had studied magic courses in school. Although it was just an elective, he also took a serious exam and passed it.
Then she felt relieved.
Seeing Miss Elena, the only owner of the Viscount's Mansion, standing motionless at the kitchen door, neither scolding nor asking questions, everyone in the kitchen, from the chef to the cook to the handyman, all bent over nervously waiting, their hearts were in turmoil, and they were panicked and didn't know what to do.
Just as they were becoming more and more panicked, an order sounded.
"Everyone, exit the kitchen now."
Everyone in the kitchen looked at the chef, who looked at the butler. The butler glared at him and turned his chin towards the door.
The chef quickly led his men out of the kitchen.
After everyone left, Elena selected all three cleaning spells in the option box. Three magical powers emerged out of thin air, creating three small whirlwinds in the kitchen, cleaning inch by inch.
Everyone outside the door opened their mouths in surprise, each one wider than the other.
In a few minutes, the dirty kitchen was completely clean.
Elena looked at the kitchen. Well, it was barely acceptable, although there were still many things that were not so good. The main reason was that the functional areas of the kitchen were divided too messily. Many things were piled together in a very unreasonable and unhygienic way, which greatly reduced the cleaning effect.
"Miss, you are truly a genius." The butler couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. "You can actually cast three spells simultaneously?"
"It's not difficult, just three small spells." Elena didn't feel there was anything to be proud of, and was still looking at the kitchen carefully.
Elena looked and evaluated, and as she evaluated, she could no longer bear it.
No, we still have to redivide the functional areas.
"You." Elena turned and pointed at the chef, "Ask a few people to tidy up here, separate the raw and cooked food, separate the fish and vegetables, move that table here, and here, here, here..."
Following Elena's instructions, the entire kitchen quickly became busy.
By the time Elena finally stopped gesturing with satisfaction, the kitchen had become extremely clean.
"Okay, next, you, chef." Elena pointed at the chef, who immediately bowed and obeyed.
"Now, I say, you do it, you follow the process I tell you to make a few dishes." Elena ordered.
"Your will is followed," the chef said humbly.
"First, cut the white radish into strips, add salt, mix well, and marinate for an hour..." Elena first instructed the chef to make sour radish, which is a side dish she likes very much.
In the kitchen, Elena was directing the chef, and outside the kitchen, the old housekeeper signaled everyone to leave the kitchen.
The master is teaching the chef how to cook, how dare these lowly servants eavesdrop? This is the behavior of thieves, stay outside honestly.
The cook and the handymen left the kitchen quietly with their heads hung.
I'm so envious! Miss Elena actually teaches the chef how to cook personally. What an honor! And after learning these new dishes, the chef's sons will have another way out. They can go to other territories to compete for the chef position in the future.
Alas, they were not so lucky.
In the kitchen, Elena continued to direct the chef to make several simple sauces using the existing ingredients in the kitchen. Some sauces required time to ferment, so Elena also taught a few tips to facilitate fermentation.
Elena didn't learn all this food knowledge by herself. She was neither a chef nor a cooking enthusiast, and she didn't have much interest in cooking. The reason she knew so much was because this knowledge jumped out of the auxiliary books and appeared in front of her.
This is a new idea of the game Heavenly Palace Realm, the auxiliary book. The auxiliary book can be regarded as an encyclopedia. As long as the auxiliary books are collected, the player will know what he needs to know as soon as he thinks about it, and the border will automatically display relevant knowledge bars. As long as enough auxiliary books are collected, theoretically the player can be omniscient and omnipotent.
Elena couldn't help but thank herself at that time. She had a collecting habit in the game and collected dozens of auxiliary books. The impulse at that time actually helped herself now.
It turns out that all the hardships I suffered in the past were for my current happiness.
Elena couldn't help but have a greedy thought. She should be lucky in this world, right?
She had experienced so much unfair and unreasonable misfortune in the past. Now that her chosen koi sister is gone, she should finally have some luck, right?
While Elena was in a trance, the chef had already prepared and sealed several cans of seasonings and sauces. Elena came to her senses and instructed the chef to make noodles.
Press the noodles, boil them, pick them up, drain them slightly, add the peanut butter, mushroom sauce and salt already in the kitchen, mix them, and the simple version of mixed noodles is ready.
Take another plate of pickled radish and a plate of smashed cucumber, and you have the side dishes.
In the restaurant, Elena rolled up the noodles with a silver fork and put them into her mouth. Hmm, it tasted okay.
I took another bite of the pickled radish. Hmm, it wasn’t pickled long enough and the flavor hadn’t been fully absorbed, but it was still edible.
Take another bite of cucumber, well, the vinegar still needs to be improved, it would be best if we could make aged vinegar.
Elena listed dozens of commonly used seasonings in her mind: aged vinegar, white vinegar, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, rice wine, soybean paste, sesame paste, broad bean paste, chili sauce, seafood sauce, shacha sauce...
Alas, the seasoning is lacking.
After dinner, when her stomach was full, her mind began to clear up, and Elena's thoughts, which had been led astray by her appetite, finally returned to the right track.
Now is not the time to enjoy herself. She still has to think carefully about how to deal with the incident of Eli being murdered in the Viscount's Mansion.
Tsk, this is so annoying. It’s really annoying that something like this happened at this time.
If the timing was better, she would have inherited the title of Viscount and wouldn't have to worry about this matter. It was Eli who was committing insubordination.
If she had come of age, even if she had not yet received the title, her situation would be much better than it is now. There is a big difference between adults and children, and between adults and minors.
But now, she is a girl, not yet an adult, and has not inherited the title of viscount. She only has the identity of an heir, so there is still room for maneuver.
For example, what if the superior earl wants to intervene and replace the heir?
For example, what if someone wants to kill her?
As long as the title is not inherited, you cannot let your guard down.
Elena came to the study in the Viscount's Mansion and looked through legal documents. Her primary goal now was to inherit the title. As long as the title was inherited, Eli's matter would not be a big deal.
What are the conditions for inheriting a title?
Whose help is needed?
What should you do if someone raises questions?
As dusk gradually fell, Elena turned on the magic lamp in the study, and the bright light filled the entire study.
The magic lamps in this world consume monster cores. The higher the level of the monster core, the longer the energy supply time and the brighter the light. The monster core used by the Viscount's Mansion is a level five monster core. The light is bright enough and stable enough.
Elena buried her head in the book.
Legal information is not part of the regular information in the game. The skill books that need to be obtained and can be obtained in the game are either attack or defense types, and there are also auxiliary books, but never legal types. Therefore, the system in Elena's mind has no archives and is completely blank. She can only rely on flipping through the books herself.
She kept looking at it for half the night, and Elena's eyes were almost dizzy.
Elena rubbed her eyes, put down the book, walked to the small balcony in the study, breathed in the cool night air, looked up at the starry sky, and relaxed her eyes.
After watching for a while, Elena began to move her neck again, turning it up and down and left and right.
Hey, what is that black shadow?
Elena turned around quickly, and a spell option popped up in the option box in her mind. Elena immediately chose the defense type.
When the defensive shield was turned on, with the help of the faint light from the shield, Elena could see clearly what the black shadow was above the eaves of the small balcony in the study.
It turned out to be Leonard who had left long ago!
"Why are you here? Didn't you leave?" Elena asked.
Leonard lay on the tiles with one foot raised. "Oh, I thought about it and decided that I should attend Joyce's funeral. After all, we knew each other, so I came back."
"Then why are you lying here? If you come back openly to attend the funeral, our Viscount's Mansion will naturally provide you with a room." Elena asked again.
"It was already late when we came back and the castle gates were closed. Sorry to bother you." Leonard said lightly.
So you have the nerve to come here uninvited and act like a thief?
