Octopus Online Feeding Guide

Chapter 58

Richel was skeptical of Adrian's words, no matter how bad a child is, how bad it can be.

After noon the next day, they saw Gabi and the others obediently taking over for Hu Fu to wash the dishes in the yard, which further confirmed his idea.

"Look, they already knew they were wrong." Richel poked Adrian's waist.

It's just that the smile Gabi gave him last night always felt weird.

Richer thought about it for a while, but he still felt a little nervous. Even if he saw them working with injuries, he couldn't feel sorry for them at all.

Now that they were all gone, he didn't think much, and went into the house to prepare the ingredients.

Gabi and the others squatted neatly in the basin to wash the dishes. After they returned to their room last night, they were beaten again by Gnar.

The second time was not like acting, all the greetings were on the face, it was the real thing, the wounds were all in places that could not be seen, the feet were numb and moved a little, the whole person seemed to be falling apart.

He glanced at the back of Lichel who was leaving not far away, and a trace of resentment flashed across his gloomy eyes.

The younger child slowly moved over and reminded: "Don't drag me in what you want to do in the future. There are food, shelter, and warm clothes here. They are all given to us by Master Richer. Go back, I will listen to him and not make him angry. You should also be careful, otherwise you will be kicked out by Master Richer."

Gabi curled her lips in disdain, and her voice, which was still in the voice-changing period, had an ugly hoarseness after being lowered: "If he really dares, I will give him a high look. Do you really treat him as a master? You didn't know what he was like before." Forget? He is a beggar like us."

The child scratched his head, how could he remember things from so long ago.

"Have you forgotten what mother said? This is also our home. This beggar can have a big house and a spacious carriage because we helped him back then, otherwise he would have died of illness."

The child nodded, he did not forget this.

"So, why should he control us. We can do whatever we like, these are our things."

"Then can we not wash the dishes?" the child asked, "I want to play a game of knights and monsters."

The two were paddling in the basin with their hands, muttering head to head, and suddenly felt a dangerous sight.

Adrian lay lazily on the rocking chair, tilted his head, and looked at them coldly.

The two children trembled a lot, and quickly lowered their heads.

"Wash, I still need to wash, for my mother's sake, do him a little favor." Gabi rubbed his nose, with a face of disobedience, and said stiffly, the water of plant ashes got into his nose, and he couldn't help but slapped a sneeze.

The surrounding air suddenly felt like solid cold needles, piercing into the skin inch by inch.

An invisible fear weighed heavily on their hearts.

The smaller child cried out with a "wow".

"It's noisy."

He didn't even dare to cry at once, he bit his lip, trembling into a ball.

The tentacles rolled up the plate in Gabi's hand, "It was polluted by your sneeze, wash it again."

"Yes, yes, yes." Gabi responded with a wink, refilled the water and cleaned it according to the standard procedure.

Gnar's beatings were not the most terrible. With such a large size, which beggar has not snatched food from other people's whips, punches and kicks.

The harder the beating, the more fierce the scolding, and they can even laugh facelessly in the anger of others, without oil or salt.

But last night, it wasn't just their bodies that suffered.

The five heads were much more honest, and when Adrian entered the room, their hands holding the plates were still shaking.

Adrian felt Richel leave the kitchen, followed him, and saw Judge Haruk sitting at the table.

And his niece, Grace.

It's a rare sunny day outside, the winter sun is more dazzling in the refraction of the snow, and through the hazy window paper, a gentle light gold is sprinkled.

Richer opened all the doors to let the air into the room, saw someone standing by the kitchen, and beckoned him to sit down together.

The small stove is burning charcoal, warming the wine in the jug, and the aroma of the grapes is evaporating.Before boiling, Richer carried the jug to the table and poured wine for everyone.

Seeing that the other party didn't prepare any spices, Haruk hesitated for a moment, but still lowered his head and took a sip.

"This visit is still because of Elise's illness." He cut to the point, seeing that Richel wanted to refuse, his tone was a little eager, "I can give you my wholehearted support, and I guarantee that you will not be sick during your treatment." will be interrupted."

Richer was a little surprised, and subconsciously looked at Grace who was aside.

The eldest lady was dissatisfied immediately, she pulled her face long, and said: "No one will blame you if it can't be cured."

"Why did your attitude change?" Richel asked curiously.

"Probably, it's because I don't want to be the murderer who murders my relatives." Haruk said.

"Yesterday, I said that out of the spur of the moment, it was so offensive."

"Instead, this prompted me to think about whether I was too stubborn to accept the latest treatment method." Haruk said seriously, "I didn't stop it before, but it doesn't mean I won't be confused. It's just that I haven't encountered other solutions , to save my sister’s life.”

"Have you ever heard of dietary therapy?" Richel said cautiously, "It takes a long time for the treatment to take effect, and it is impossible to see the effect in a short period of time."

Haruk thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about it. Medicines are eaten, and so are food. If the boundary between medicines and food is not so clear, then food can also act as medicines."

"It's almost the same reason." Richel told him about diet therapy, his judgment on Mrs. Elise's condition, and how the warm and cool properties of food work in the body to maintain health.

Grice watched him talking in surprise, feeling something strange in this commoner for the first time.

Erudite, talkative, and gentle, aside from the childish and ridiculous prejudices before, this man is more attractive than many nobles in the city she has met.

And handsome.

Grice lowered his head and took a sip of the wine in the wooden glass. When he heard him talking about the fruit, he immediately grabbed the conversation: "Only you untouchables would eat it raw. We all know that fruit is moist and needs to be cooked. , the fish is the same, it needs to be grilled before it can be eaten.”

"You eat it raw, and you sell a lot of it dried or preserved." Richel said coolly.

Grice always felt that the more he talked, the more he exposed his shallowness, so he just became an audience.

Haruk admired this young man even more, and wanted to invite him to live in the mansion directly to treat Elise.

Richel refused, "It's not necessary, my lord, I will prepare Madam Elise's three meals on time, and you can send a waiter to pick up the dishes when the time comes."

He still has restaurant business to do.

To be on the safe side, he signed a waiver of liability with Haruk, and made a purchase list, and Haruk's family will provide food raw materials.

Everything is ready, now that Haruk has come, Richel will prepare dinner for Madam Elise today.

When he took out the food box, the two of them saw that Haruk's expression was not very good.

It was a porridge of millet and rye, and he had to feed the poor with what was on their table.

"Our family can afford it," he reminded.

"What does Madam Elise usually eat?" Richel asked himself and answered, "It must be all kinds of smoked barbecue and bread wine, which are no different from what you eat."

Haruk didn't speak.

"Millet nourishes yin and blood, rye nourishes the body, and the porridge is soft and delicious, suitable for people who are ill to recuperate the body and restore vitality. I also added date palms and some walnuts.

Jujube palm has a tonic effect on people with weak speech, low voice, and long-term weakness, and walnuts can cure Qi and blood deficiency. These are carefully selected ingredients. "

Haruk and Grace looked at each other, which was completely different from their usual cognition.

In their view, the food eaten by the poor is devoid of nutrition at all, even green vegetables are the same, and even the poor themselves may think so.

"Try it, there is a small piece of maltose in it." Richer emphasized this point, and handed the food box in front of him. This food box is still the same as he recalled from the costume drama in his previous life, and let the people here build it. of.

"Richer, do you know how much determination and risk I took to hire you to treat Alice's illness?"

Haruk said expressionlessly, "It's definitely not putting pig food in front of me, packaging it with a few sweet words, boasting that it is something comparable to medicine."

"I know, but you have no other choice, don't you? How many times did the pharmacist put blood? Which time did the lady heal? Is it getting worse?"

Haruk hesitated for a while, but finally took it and let Grice hold it.

"I hope that my money, and my expectations, will not be in vain."

"That's what I hope too." Richel said, he was actually taking a risk.

But compared to bloodletting, diet therapy is still more reliable.

Richel didn't know whether his judgment of the illness was correct, and he was worried all night. Even when the Nars and his wife happily said that the private rooms were packed, he only smiled pretendingly, which made the couple even more worried. Fear of being driven away.

When selling breakfast the next morning, Adrian observed that Richel had looked outside no less than ten times.

"Honey, they don't have the habit of eating breakfast." Octopus pointed out his uneasiness, "It won't come so soon."

"I've already told them the time." Richel said, "Patients are different from ordinary people, they need to supplement more nutrients, so what if they don't eat breakfast."

The sky was blowing snow again, and almost no pedestrians were seen on the road.Today's breakfast is less than before, and there are still some left over.

When Richel moved the steamer into the kitchen and came out to move the stove, the butler of Haruk's house was standing by the door, patting the snowflakes off his body.

A heart suddenly fell to the ground.

"Is Lady Elise all right?"

"It's not bad. I seem to be in better spirits. After eating your porridge last night, I sat up and chatted with Miss Grace for a while." The butler approached the counter with a smile and put the food box on the table.

"It's really gratifying news." Richel breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You can eat some snacks to fill your stomach first." He said that he wanted to go into the house to get it.

The butler refused, he was not in the habit of eating breakfast.

Richer had no choice but to put the breakfast in the food box and pass it to him.

The butler took it, took his leave respectfully and left.

Mrs. Elise was surprised to find that the supper served to her was food she had never eaten before.

The porridge is warm and palatable. When you drink it in your mouth, it is soft and sweet, and there is a graininess brought by chopped walnuts. The cooked nuts can be chewed lightly for a few times. The unique slightly burnt after the nuts are roasted The fragrance stays between the lips and teeth, and the aftertaste is endless.

It doesn't have the throat-cutting feeling like bread and meat, which makes it hard to swallow. In the cold winter, after drinking, her body is warm and has a little strength.

At this moment, her head was still dizzy and weak, and when she saw that breakfast was coming, she still struggled to sit up.

The housekeeper opened the food box and introduced: "This morning is porridge with green vegetables and pork liver, and baked pumpkin with egg yolk."

The scent that hits the face has already increased the appetite.

Bright yellow millet porridge with pork liver in it. Alice doesn't like this kind of food. Besides the stench, the taste is dry and bitter.

She drank a few sips of porridge first, which greatly soothed her restless stomach. Remembering her brother's instructions and expectations, she scooped a small piece and put it in her mouth.

Surprisingly, the taste of this pork liver is much better than expected.

With some ginger and wine flavors, the stench of the pig's internal organs can't be tasted at all. The pig's liver is soft and tender, and it tastes quite tender.

This kind of thing is actually so delicious?No wonder commoners love it.

She scooped up a pumpkin stick with difficulty with a spoon.

The skin is slightly crispy. After taking a bite, the inside of the pumpkin is sweet and soft. What makes people feel strange is the powdery paste wrapped on the outside. The housekeeper said it was egg yolk powder.

But with a salty aroma, it just neutralized the sweetness of the pumpkin, and it was not at all the egg yolk flavor she had tasted before.

"How is this made?" Elise scooped up another one.

"Only Chef Richel can answer this question." The butler sniffled, lowered his head, and swallowed silently.

He is also hungry.
