Chapter 617 Revolving Lantern
[Where is this place...where am I...]
The confused Harper Ramsay tried to open his eyes, but found that he had no Unable to feel his own body, he tried hard to sense everything around him, but everything around him did not give him any feedback. Whether it was his mental power or his unknown vision, all he could sense was silence and darkness. .
No smell, no temperature, no gravity, nothing.
This kind of feeling like a lost ghost has never happened to Harper Ramsay, who has lived for nearly a thousand years.
Apart from being able to force himself to think, he could do nothing...
[Is this the world after death? 】
But the old man, who had already given up his heart, was not afraid. He just sighed silently in his heart, calmly and indifferently.
However, at this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared in the distance, surprising Harper who was about to stop thinking.
At the same time, there was a faint noise in the distance, as if many people were talking loudly. Harper tried to hear what those people were saying, but to no avail. But he was also unable to stop those intermittent noises from reaching his ears.
Wait...in the ears?
When he suddenly discovered that he could feel his hearing organs, the light in the distance suddenly zoomed in, filling his entire field of vision in an instant, and then...
" Hey, Ramsay, it’s a boy!”
Harper saw a woman with a vague face shout happily into the distance, then gently picked herself up, while using a warm and pleasant He wiped his body with hot water and smiled at another person outside his field of vision: "Ada, thank you for your hard work. The little guy is very healthy."
[Ada? 】
Harper was stunned for a moment, shocked.
The next second...
"Thank you, Bai Shuang, quickly... let me see him."
The voice that I thought I had forgotten long ago was there. There was a sound very close, and Harper's thoughts suddenly froze completely.
The blurry world in the field of vision shook twice, and an outline that seemed to be covered with a layer of mist appeared.
Harper struggled to open his eyes wide. Finally, the person in front of him gradually became clearer. It was...
[Mother...]
He just felt like he was struck by lightning. Shi Shi had mixed feelings in his heart, and had an extremely strong urge to cry loudly.
"Wow wow wow wow!!!"
So he really burst into tears.
"Haha, this kid is really energetic~"
"Hey, Bai Shuang, let his father come in. He definitely wants to see his son with his own eyes."
"Hey! Idiot! Muzzi, you can come in!"
"Ah! Ada! It's great that you are okay!"
"Hehe, because Bai Shuang is here... ”
"So this wrinkled, monkey-like little guy is our little Ramsay?"
"White Frost..."
"Huh?"
< br>“Kick him out.”
“Okay!!”
Amidst the lively and familiar noise, the world before Harper Ramsay's eyes became blurry.
......
"Sneaking into the kitchen to cause trouble again!"
The mother, who was exactly the same as in the memory, blocked herself in the corner, squatted down and stared, feigning anger. : "Little Harper, what are you going to do!"
Needless to say, of course...
"I want to cook!"
Yes, there can be no other answer but this!
"No, you are not cooking, you are cooking the kitchen, my dear."
The mother held her forehead and sighed, holding her hand and walking towards the thick smoke again. In the rolling kitchen: "Let me teach you..."
...
A cold light flashed in the air, and the wild birds that were late two seconds ago had fallen evenly into the porcelain bowls in front of them, with wings, legs, breasts, necks, heads, claws, and internal organs scattered neatly. On the cooking table, blood oozed out after a while.
“Eight swords flash!!”
The flower elf woman sitting not far away exclaimed, looking at her mother standing beside her with her hands behind her back in shock. Full of disbelief: "How old is little Harper!"
"He is still far away."
The mother smiled reservedly, but she could guess it even if she didn't look back. , her eyes were full of relief and pride.
...
"What? You want to travel away from home? A cooking trip?!"
My father, who had always had no idea, widened his eyes and waved his arms helplessly: "But... ...But aren't you already outstanding? And your mother still has many skills to teach..."
"I'm still far away, father."
Harper held up the salute that he had secretly prepared, smiled faintly, and then glanced at his mother standing next to his father, He muttered in a low voice: "Mom is far behind, her cooking is too rustic."
"What are you talking about..."
"Okay, I think little Harper is quite ambitious."
The mother patted her father on the shoulder, with a touch of herself on her face Lonely, who didn't notice it at the time, smiled and waved his fist at himself: "You have to work harder."
...
"Wow! Your skills are great!"
The human girl with short blond hair held the piece of barbecue in her hand as if she had found a treasure, and wiped her saliva with her sleeve in a very unladylike way: "Isn't Nikachu super delicious?!"
Sitting there Beside the fire, I glanced at the man with disdain: "There are no bad ingredients, just There are terrible cooks.”
“Tch! You can make a meal with this stone!”
“…”
“Hey, there’s nothing more to say. Well, let’s talk about it. I’ll catch another Nikachu and you can make it for me.”
"You should have eaten enough."
"But I'm greedy!"
"Not interested."
"Then I won't protect you, you can walk out on your own This wilderness."
"..."
"Haha, wait until I come back!"
......
Although her appearance was not outstanding, she was extraordinarily beautiful in my eyes that day.
"Stay with me all the time."
He gently stroked her cheek and whispered in her ear in what he thought was the most magnetic voice: "What do you want to eat? I’ll cook something for you to eat.”
However...
"Kissing you does not mean that I am willing to stay with you all the time."
Curling up in her arms, she blinked slyly.
"What..."
"Just because I like you doesn't mean that I am willing to stay with you all the time." "Jiajia, you..."
"Even what happened just now doesn't mean that I am willing to stay with you forever."
"But I..."
"Shh, don't talk. ”
She tapped her index finger on her lips, and her eyes with faint tears flashing were getting closer and closer...
...
In the fifth year of her departure, and the third year in which she rushed into the permanently frozen ice field to search for [Cold Weather Steel] in order to strengthen her kitchen utensils, a letter that was a year and a half late finally finally arrived after many twists and turns. was delivered into his own hands.
‘Go home when you have time. Your mother wants to see you for the last time. ’
The short sentence above, which seemed not very beautiful, made my heart, which I thought had been numb for a long time, feel again.
Tearing pain...
...
The Moon of Song is cold, the piece of [Celestial Cold Meteor Steel] in my arms is cold, my mother’s flower monument is cold, but my father’s eyes are colder than the first three. .
From that day until the day before Ramsay Sr. died, the father and son never had a good word with each other again.
……
My father left in the early morning of my mother’s 329th death anniversary.
In the previous half day, he had a long chat with his already famous son.
He didn’t mention anything related to the kitchen, he just casually talked about interesting things about his childhood, talked about his encounter with his mother, boasted a lot of things that could be seen through at a glance, and finally asked himself Feelings, ask yourself if there are any romantic stories during the hundreds of years.
I told him that more than three hundred years ago, I fell in love with a girl.
The father asked, what next?
Then?
Then that girl disappeared without a trace one day, but he still couldn't forget her and still loved her.
My father asked, what happens next?
Of course there is no more trouble. After all, the other party is just a human being with a life span of only a hundred years.
"Is that so..."
My father was stunned for a long time, suddenly laughed, and said: "It turns out that everyone we love is no longer alive."
He nodded silently, his heart filled with a heavy feeling of guilt.
But...
"I am much luckier than you, at least I can always be with her."
The father lying on the bed smiled, his expression still the same As dull as ever, he gently held the hand that was on the bedside and whispered: "I'm sorry, I'm too naive. I have been angry with you for so many years."
I am the naive person. right.
Just when I was about to say this, I found that my father had slowly closed his eyes.
“Let me rest for a while.”
He said.
Then he never woke up again.
……
Many years later, his name has resounded throughout the continent, at least in the chef world of the entire continent. Except for a few old opponents who are not talented enough but work hard enough, no one can compare with him in the field of cooking. , but...
When I had just reached middle age, my physical condition and mental state were indeed deteriorating. In the end, even the feast I made with my own hands became tasteless.
No, that is the only value of my existence.
I don’t know how many times I reminded him in the mirror.
But miracles will not come to a person who has given up deep down in his heart.
......
Game time PM19:45
"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"
In the girl's desperate call, Harper Ram Qi slowly opened his eyes.
Ji Xiaoge, who was so regretful that he wanted to chop himself in two, was immediately overjoyed. He hurriedly helped the old tree elf in front of him to a chair, and held his hands tightly. Apologizing incoherently...
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
"I overestimate my skills!"
"Are you still uncomfortable in any way? Do you want me to find a pharmacist or a priest? Come here?"
"I, I, I know I was wrong, you can punish me however you want, or you can give me a beating. Even my father has never beaten me."
< br>"You...if you don't have the strength, I can just beat myself up!"
Ji Xiaoge's intestines are almost turning green, because in the past few months in Tianzhu Mountain, whether it was Femiguel, Lujiang or Cordoba, they could eat the food she cooked without changing their expressions, and he had [Self-produced and sold] Beside me, and the fact that I just made a very ordinary stir-fry, Old Harper also said that no matter how hard it is to swallow, it can be done, the stronger the taste, the better, so this girl just made I didn’t think too much about it.
As a result, Harper, who had just eaten half of the shredded meat, fell straight in front of her and twitched on the floor for twenty minutes.
"Well, you little girl..."
Harper shook his head vigorously, raised his hand and scraped his two big ears before regaining consciousness, and looked at Ji Xiaoge with a twitching corner of his mouth. : "What did you add to the dish!"
"Small...small peppers, ground grass, snow onions, shishen tendons, white fish fillets..."
Ji Xiaoge lowered his head and reported more than a dozen materials.
Harper's eyes widened, and he reacted for a long time before angrily saying, "Who are you lying to! How could these ingredients make something so unpalatable... unpalatable... uh... hmm!?"
As his speech became slower and slower, he was stunned for a moment, then yanked the plate of strange substance in front of him, picked up the spoon and stuffed a mouthful into his mouth.
……
Game time PM20:05
"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"
Under the girl's trembling call, Harper Ramsay opened his eyes again, with an excited smile on his face, and said loudly: "Ouch!!!"
"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"
Ji Xiaoge immediately poured a drink into the hands of the other party who was retching, and said in a panic: "Drink some water first."
"Ugh!!!"
"Hurry up and drink water!"
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! What the hell is this?!"
Harper's face turned purple after he drank half a glass of water. , waving the cup and said angrily to Ji Xiaoge: "Is this for people to drink! Although it's a little stronger than the plate of substance just now, it's just ..."
Ji Xiaoge shrank his neck and timidly pointed to the teapot on the table: "Well...this is the drink you made yourself. I watched you drink this when I first came here. Yeah."
"Well, okay, it tastes damn bad."
The old man's expression suddenly became very exciting, and then he threw the cup in his hand out of the window along with the teapot on the table. He lowered his head and looked at the plate of cold dishes in front of him again. After a while, he hesitated and asked Said: "This thing really only contains the ingredients you mentioned?"
"Yes, yes! Please advise!!"
Ji Xiaoge nodded immediately. She noticed it when she saw the two legendary... well, legendary quality kitchen utensils in the kitchen. , this old man who has lost his sense of taste is definitely not an ordinary person, and is most likely even a hidden chef!
This kind of thing may not be discovered by ordinary NPCs at all, but for players, two items named [Harper Ramsay’s Old Frying Spoon] and [Harper Ramsay’s Burnt Spoon] The legendary kitchen utensil "Black Spatula" already contains enough information.
"Advice is out of the question. I have to confirm first whether this thing really only contains the things you just mentioned."
Harper glanced at Ji Xiaoge indifferently and said in a deep voice: "If I find out that you are lying, hum..."
He did not finish his words, but carefully leaned down and lifted his nose. He leaned over to the plate of food in front of him and took a deep breath...
Clang! !
"Grandpa Harper! Grandpa Harper!!"
