The Valkyrie's table cannot be without Chef Ben

"Grace? You haven't had breakfast yet? Do you want to try it?"

"Is it fried dough sticks?" Gray Xiu tilted her head. "Sister Hua made it for me. It was delicious."

"Well, there will be fried sugar cakes later, so you can wait a little longer."

"Good~"

Gray Xiu nodded and took the plate from Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye smiled, turned around and went back to fry the sugar cakes. This thing should be very popular with children.

The sugar cakes taste best when they are freshly fried, but it is also the most dangerous time. People often get burned by the sugar cakes, and these burns are also very serious.

The sugar cakes were fried in ginger leaves and after a short while, the first batch was freshly baked.

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

"The door is unlocked."

Jiang Ye shouted again.

Soon, Alicia's voice was heard.

"Huh? Little Grayshu, I didn't expect you to be here."

"It's Sister Alicia, good morning."

Grace waved her greasy hand in greeting.

"Grace, what are you eating?"

"These are the dough sticks fried by Brother Jiang Ye."

Grace had already finished one and was hesitating whether to eat the second one because Jiang Ye said there would be sugar cakes later, but if she ate any more she would be full.

"Hmm? Youtiao? Did you want to eat it yourself?"

Grace thought about it for a moment, then nodded.

"Sister Alicia, do you want to try it?"

"Well~ I'll go find Jiang Ye and ask for it directly~"

"Good~"

Grayshu nodded.

Alicia walked to the kitchen door and leaned against the door frame.

"Jiang Ye! You are biased~"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Ye's hands trembled and he almost dropped the cake into the frying pan.

"I?"

Jiang Ye turned around curiously, "What's wrong with me?"

"I wanted to eat fried dough sticks before, but you rejected my request by saying they were unhealthy and you were too lazy to make them. But you actually made them for Gray Xiu!"

Ellie put her hands on her hips and puffed her lips, her little face full of unhappiness.

"Oh, because I want to eat today, and Gretchen is here to deliver a painting."

Jiang Ye continued to fry the sugar cakes.

"Eh? Is that so?"

Ellie came in and her little hand quickly touched a piece of crispy meat.

She took a light bite, and the rich aroma of meat and spices entered her mouth. Different from the traditional fried crispy meat, ginger leaves were added with a lot of spices. When she took a bite, she could smell the rich aroma of meat and spices, among which the taste of cumin was the most obvious, followed by chopped sesame seeds and a hint of spiciness.

As soon as you take a bite, the fragrance blooms on your taste buds, making you dizzy with the aroma.

"good to eat!"

Ellie's eyes lit up.

"If it tastes good, just eat more."

Jiang Ye took a piece of warm crispy meat and stuffed it into Ai Li's mouth in an unhappily manner.

"Take whatever you want to eat, and give Gray some millet porridge."

"Good~"

Ai Li nodded, then she stared at the sugar cake that Jiang Ye had just taken out of the pan, and was about to take it, but was gently patted by Jiang Ye.

"Take that side, do you want to get burned?"

Ai Li was patted and stuck out her tongue, "I saw you picked it up, and I thought it wasn't hot."

"I'm used to it being hot. Remember to cut it open when you eat it later, so you don't get burned by the sugar inside."

"Eh? There's sugar in this?"

"White sugar, a local snack in Shenzhou, fried sugar cake."

"Wow~ China is indeed a vast land with so many delicious foods that I have never tasted before."

Ai Li curled her eyes and said, "Then I'd really like to try it."

Fried sugar cakes are actually quite common, but due to the uneven quality of the stalls selling them outside, many of them don’t look good, and people who have never eaten them would find it difficult to try them.

In recent years, fried sugar cakes no longer only use white sugar, but due to the limitation of ingredients, only the most traditional ones can be made with ginger leaves.

When the ginger leaves were fried and carried out, Alicia was trying to fry the sugar cakes, and little Grace was sitting beside her, watching eagerly.

She obediently cut the cake, but the hot steam inside still made her blow it again and again.

Seeing that the heat was gone, her lips were burned as soon as they touched it.

Looking at the fairy lady's cute expression, Jiang Ye couldn't help but laugh.

Hearing the laughter, Ai Li looked over and held up the cake.

"Jiang Ye! Blow it for me~"

……

Chapter 46: I'm just gone, not dead

? ?

"Are you OK?"

Jiang Ye sat down.

"You were drinking porridge last night, and I blew it for you for a long time. Now you blow it for me. Isn't it reasonable?"

“…That makes sense.”

After Jiang Ye finished speaking, Alicia put a tissue under the cake and stuffed it into Jiang Ye's hand.

"So~ help me blow it~ make sure it's warm~"

He looked at the girl who was smiling happily, and then looked at the cake in his hand.

Jiang Ye sighed.

While helping Alicia blow up the candy cake, Jiang Ye looked at Grayshu.

"it is good

Do you want to eat, Gracie?

“Delicious~”

Grace nodded, then took half a piece of the cake and took a bite.

It wasn't very hot in the room, and it would cool down after being cut and left for a while. Jiang Ye didn't know why Alicia insisted that he blow on it.

"Jiang Ye, why don't you ask me if it tastes good?"

?

Jiang Ye slowly typed a question mark, "Grayxiu is eating this for the first time, so I have to ask if it tastes good."

"Eh?"

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes and said, "You've come here so many times, just decide for yourself whether it's delicious or not."

Ellie puffed out her lips.

Jiang Ye also picked up the chopsticks. To be honest, the fried dough sticks and sugar cakes were just side dishes. He preferred salty taste, and the fried crispy meat would be more to his liking. It was a pity that there were not enough dishes to relieve the greasiness.

I didn't eat much ginger leaves, but I was sick of the greasy feeling.

He frowned and said, "I should cook something to relieve the greasiness."

"I think it's great."

Ai Li has already started eating her second piece of cake. She really likes sweets.

Jiang Ye frowned and stood up.

"Wait."

Only five or six minutes later, Jiang Ye walked out of the kitchen.

He had a plate of cold-mixed cabbage hearts in his hand.

"Try it?"

Ai Li took a little bit out of curiosity.

It tastes sour when you first put it in your mouth, and then you can taste a little sweetness and spiciness. As for the cabbage itself, there is nothing special about it. They are all leaves, so they are very tender. Because it is served cold, it will be more crispy.

"A simple cold dish? But it tastes really good."

Ai Li took another bite with chopsticks and said, "It's delicious whether it goes with porridge or fried dough sticks."

It tastes sour, which is not only appetizing but also helps relieve greasiness.

"Little Grayshu should try it too..."

……

After finishing the meal, Grace went back early.

Ellie sat on the sofa, rubbing her belly. "Today's exercise was all in vain. If I don't control myself, I will really get fat."

"You ate too many candies."

Jiang Ye brought over a glass of water, but Ai Li waved her hands, indicating that she couldn't drink it.

"But it's really delicious? If possible, I want to have another meal at noon!"

"Calm down." Jiang Ye looked at her unhappily, "Don't consume so much sugar. It's fine to eat it once in a while."

Ai Li's mood instantly dropped, "But after you left, no one did it for me..."

"I just went home, I didn't die."

Jiang Ye sat on the sofa on the other side, "Can't you come over to eat whenever you want?"

"Eh? Jiang Ye, don't you think frying is troublesome?"

"I always find it troublesome."

Jiang Ye glanced at the girl, "When did you not get to eat it?"

"whee……"

The girl became happy again, "I knew you were the best~"

The two of them sat there and rested for a while, and Alicia asked, "Jiang Ye, when are you going to leave?"

"Just these few days?"

"Why don't you stay two more days?"

"Hasn't this already extended our stay by two days?" Jiang Ye took a sip of water. "It's not a good idea to stay here forever."

Ai Li quietly looked at Jiang Ye and said, "Everyone has a good impression of you. If you want to stay for a few more days, no one will object?"

"Because this is all for your sake." Jiang Ye smiled, "I am just an acquaintance with the others, so naturally there is no such thing as a good or bad relationship. If it weren't for you, we might have had no intersection in this life."
