Chapter 4112: When Pumpkins Mature (5)

Greed walked into the house and looked at the furnishings here again. He put down the box and took off his coat. He wore a camel cashmere sweater with a high collar and a pair of casual trousers, wearing black-framed glasses.

"You look like you're going to a vineyard for a vacation." Pride said while moving the box containing ingredients into the house, "You came just right. There is no firewood in the house, we might have to go to the forest to cut some."

"You're not kidding, are you? It's blowing such a strong wind outside, and you plan to go out to cut trees with an axe?"

"Not me, but us. Unless you don't go near the fireplace next, otherwise we have to go together."

Greed sighed helplessly: "It's not easy for us to get along in reality, I originally had high expectations for this. But the first activity you arranged is to go to the forest to cut wood together on a windy day? Even in Cat Getan, this is a bit slightly crazy, right?"

Pride had already brought the tools over, he handed one of the axes to Greed, and then said: "Believe me. Precisely because Cat Getan's situation has improved, we can go out to cut wood in such weather, and won't meet any strange people on the way, or monsters crawling out of the lake."

Greed put on his coat helplessly, took the axe, and then said: "If you are arrested for illegal logging of natural woodland, I will never pay your bail."

The two walked out of the door one after another. Sparsely populated also has the benefits of sparsely populated, at least no one is surprised that two people who look exactly the same appear at the same time. They walked past the lake and came to the forest opposite.

Pride began to choose trees, while Greed looked around and said: "Why did you choose to buy a house in such a remote place? I feel like there are wolves here."

"Not yet." Pride knocked on the tree next to him, and then said, "But there seem to be wolf packs on the mountain range connected to this forest, maybe it won't be long before they migrate over. Just this one."

Greed faced the wind and walked toward the tree he had chosen, and cut down the small tree in two or three strokes. And Pride also went to cut another one, probably cutting four or five small trees of similar thickness. Pride muttered to himself: "These should be enough for the Halloween holiday. Let's go."

Greed carried the axe and walked toward the outside of the forest, but saw a light flash at the other end of the forest.

He stopped immediately and looked toward that side vigilantly. Pride also stopped. Greed made a mouth shape to him: "Flashlight."

The light that just flashed should be emitted by a flashlight. Pride narrowed his eyes, but still said: "Firewood is very scarce now, it should be someone who came to the woodland to cut wood. Let's go back."

They dragged the firewood back to the house, and then transported the wood to the backyard to split wood. Greed stood in the center of the living room and looked at the window on one side of the living room. The wind was blowing outside, and water stains began to appear on the glass. The chirping of birds came from the wind.

"I'll split the wood, you cook?" Pride asked.

Greed nodded, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the boxes he moved in. He checked the ingredients inside, and then said: "In such weather, you should eat hot stew. We can hang a pot on the fireplace, and then have a pan of seafood risotto, and heat the bread to eat with the soup."

"There are pumpkins in the backyard." Pride said, "You can cut a piece and put it in the pot."

Greed walked out from the back door, and then saw the three pumpkins that looked very standard. He couldn't help but sigh, and then turned back to get the kitchen knife without hesitation. He has very rich experience in cooking. Don't look at this pumpkin growing big, but from the color and hardness, it is just right for stew.

He picked the smallest one, cut a piece, cut it into small pieces and put it aside for later use. Then he took out red shrimp from the box, cut off the shrimp head and put it in the pot to fry out the shrimp oil. Roast the tomato on the fire to peel, and cut into small pieces. Then take out some vegetables and cut them well.

Pour the shrimp oil into the stew pot, pour the small pieces of tomato into the pot, take it to the fireplace and stew it until the tomato is boiled out of juice. Add a small piece of butter and a whole box of milk, then put pumpkin, lettuce, zucchini, lettuce, mushrooms and shrimp meat into it and stew.

The pumpkin will soon be boiled very soft and rotten, and then it will be completely melted into the soup as if it were crushed. In this way, even if there is no light cream and no stirring, it can present a thick soup state. Then the vegetables will also be stewed very soft, until the fibers are decomposed, turning into a pot of somewhat rotten vegetable soup. Although the appearance is not very good, it is very delicious.

Then it is to juice all kinds of seafood and fry rice on an iron plate. When out of the pot, put octopus legs and mussels on it. Cut the bread and put it on the wire mesh, and put it into the fireplace to heat.

The cold wind was blowing outside the window, and the two were eating by the fireplace. The wood was too wet, so there was always a crackling sound when burning, and the flame gradually became smaller and smaller.

But Pride's tools were very complete. He put down the tableware in his hand, went to the toolbox in the backyard and took a flamethrower. As long as the flame is big enough, there is no wood that cannot be burned.

The flame in the fireplace soon became vigorous again. The fragrance of the stew soup became stronger and stronger. Both of them were busy eating, and no one spoke.

The stew soup has a very rich umami taste. The essence in the red shrimp body was all fried out, and a layer of bright red shrimp oil floated on the milky white thick soup. The fibers of pumpkins and vegetables kept tumbling up. The fibers that would taste a bit rough when eaten are just right in the soup, and the zucchini, mushrooms, and shrimp meat that are difficult to stew rotten have a completely different flavor.

Cat Getan is by the sea, and the seafood that can be eaten is still fresh. Only real locals know that some small miscellaneous fish, shellfish, and small oysters with not-so-good appearance knocked down from the reefs by people rushing to the sea are the most delicious, used to prepare soup heads, make sauces, and boil soup, which is a deliciousness that any chemical seasoning cannot reach. If you use this sauce to replace water to steam rice or fry rice, every grain of rice will become a treasure of the ocean, and the umami taste of eating is like stewing Atlantis in a pot.

Europeans prefer mussels, and many seafood rice or seafood dishes have its figure. This thing will be particularly hard whether it grows too big or is cooked too long, so it must be small and tender. Fry it slightly, and it will burst out juice when bitten in the mouth, served with tomato sauce, dried dill or Mexican hot sauce, even the most picky diners cannot refuse.

Bread is very ordinary dry bread, which is hard enough to be used as a brick on weekdays. It will be softer after a little roasting, but the most correct way to eat it is to soak in soup. In this way, all the shortcomings will become advantages, the original dryness will become fragrant and crispy, and the solid mechanism can absorb the soup, and there is no taste just to support the umami taste of the dishes.

The two had a beautiful meal and ate almost all the dishes. Then Pride roasted a pumpkin pie like before. They leaned by the fireplace, chatting while cutting pumpkin pie.

"Speaking of which, how is Batman?" Greed asked.

Pride's hand paused, and he said that he seemed to have forgotten something, then shook his head and said: "I don't know. But he is an adult, he should be able to find a hotel to stay in by himself. Now he is mostly fighting wits and courage with Brainiac."

And the Main Universe Batman in his mouth is currently facing the strong wind, moving his suitcase down from the bus. He took a deep breath and was choked into coughing twice. Looking at the "Wei En Hotel" in front of him, he was really angry.

It's not that he didn't want to land in Cat Getan, but every universe's Battleworld entrance is selected by locals, and the landing point of this universe where Schiller is located has been changed to Metropolis, so he can only rush over from Metropolis.

And what is even more outrageous is that the Earth in this universe seems to have been invaded by Brainiac. It is not very accurate to say invasion, it is more like Brainiac ruled the Earth and lived in harmony with humans.

Main Universe Batman, who knew about this, finally understood why Bruce was dodging before, looking very guilty. He thought this was already shocking enough, what else could be more unacceptable than Brainiac ruling the Earth?

Don't say, there really is. That is, after Brainiac ruled the Earth, Bruce Wei En couldn't even enter the Wei En Hotel.

Main Universe Batman couldn't book the Wei En Hotel at all. Although he successfully registered an account and obtained a legal identity, his identity was classified as an "alien" and could only go to a limited number of hotels, which did not include the Wei En Hotel, even if there were points, he couldn't book it.

Main Universe Batman could already feel that Brainiac in this universe had a peculiar sense of righteousness. He didn't treat himself as an outsider at all, and didn't even treat himself as a ruler, full of the spirit of being the master.

Although he didn't want to accept it emotionally, he had to admit rationally that Brainiac seemed to care more about the survival of the Earth than humans. As an alien Main Universe Batman, he didn't have a carbon emission quota, and he couldn't even call a car, so he could only take public transportation.

Fortunately, he used a series of technical means to fight wits and courage with Brainiac, and still booked the Wei En Hotel. Unfortunately, the Wei En Hotel in this universe has no presidential suite, so naturally there is no full-service, and Main Universe Batman has to carry his luggage himself.

Entering the lobby, doing registration, Main Universe Batman went upstairs to find his room, which is a standard room that is not bad, with a large floor-to-ceiling window, where you can see the city scenery.

Standing in front of the window, Main Universe Batman suddenly felt emotional. I really don't know what kind of displacement can match this good scenery at this moment. This city he should be very familiar with, but at this moment, it shows a completely different beauty.

Fallen leaves blown up by the wind are floating over the whole city, and Cat Getan is raining gold. Fine mist rises from the ground, high-rise buildings are hidden in the mist, leaving only the outlines of the pointed roofs of those low houses, as if returning to that autumn in the fourteenth century overnight, with layers of green and gold, and life is like grass.

Main Universe Batman rested for a while, looked for it in the room, and found that there was no service bell, so he knew that he had to have room service through that green bald software. He was instinctively a bit disgusted, so he took his coat and prepared to find the laundry room to dry it.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw another figure in a long trench coat, putting his hat on his head, looking like he was ready to go out.

This person turned around after closing the door. As soon as he looked up, he also saw Main Universe Batman who was ready to go out. The moment they saw each other's faces, they were all stunned. ===== CHAPTER 4113 =====
