The King's Beautiful Chef
Grilled Rabbits

As a war king whose name had been widely known since the beginning, Tianlong Heyu rarely mentioned names to the other party who asked. He was worried they would get to know him then have a bad thought. Not to mention he hated the woman who took the opportunity to approach him.

Chen Sisi did not insist on asking about the name. Yet as a citizen whose soul of curiosity was so great, Chen Sisi still asked him a few things. Although Tianlong Heyu was stingy to speak, Chen Sisi did not feel that there was anything wrong with him. After all, this ancient time, men and women had strict rules against the promiscuity of the opposite sex.

The white Persian cat who was eating grilled fish caught the attention of Tianlong Heyu. People who keep cats in this country are considered noble daughters. If there was an ordinary person who nurtured it could be said to be a god's blessing.

Who would have thought if the ordinary-looking girl had a long-haired cat.

“Is that your cat?” tanyakanya.

“Ya, her name is Baiyue.” Chen Sisi did not take it seriously.

Then Baiyue who had just finished eating fish looked at Chen Sisi while explaining that in this era, cats are still revered and considered as lucky givers, in Japan, it is known as Maneki Neko (Cats that signal). Japan and China believe this.

Chen Sisi had not thought before that cats in this era would be considered as pets that brought good luck.

“Your cat is beautiful.” Tianlong Heyu said honestly.

“...” Are cats prettier than me? Chen Sisi was a little unhappy. Women love to be praised but fortunately Chen Sisi is not an itchy girl whose hobbies are praised.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The next morning, it was still snowing but not too heavy. Chen Sisi had a habit of waking up early and he immediately went to collect snow to make drinking water. Due to Tianlong Heyu's existence, he couldn't carelessly bring out water or food from within the white jade room.

When he returned to the cave, the man had already kept the bonfire from extinguishing.

“Is your body better?” ask Chen Sisi.

“Ya, no problem,” answer,

“Where is your horse?” Chen Sisi did not see the existence of the black horse that had previously been relaxing inside the cave.

“Maybe go find people. His leg was hurt and I couldn't ride him. Someone will come later.” Tianlong Heyu answered his question, at least don't let the girl get suspicious.

“Oh.” Chen Sisi seemed to understand.

In ancient times there were no cell phones or radios. People communicate with each other remotely by correspondence or some secret code.

“I only got two rabbits this morning, we can only eat roasted rabbits. I hope you don't mind.”

Tianlong Heyu looked at the two fat rabbits that had already been cleaned up. No wonder the girl was so long ago as she left the cave. She thinks something happened to her, apparently went to clean the rabbit. The weather is very cold at the moment and the river may also be almost frozen. Tianlong Heyu closed his eyes for a moment and leaned against the stone behind him.

“No problem.”

After all Tianlong Heyu had already eaten snake meat and dried rations before. Rabbit meat is considered a luxury in military barracks.

Chen Sisi prepared the seasoning that had been removed before returning to the cave to keep Tianlong Heyu from suspecting. He began to smear the rabbit meat with the feeling of lime, then add enough salt and let stand for about twenty minutes first.

“Why not burn it? Meat plus salt is delicious,” asked Tianlong Heyu while frowning. Why is it that just grilling rabbit meat requires so much processing?

Tianlong Heyu did not say anything more and only needed to wait a little longer.

Currently, Chen Sisi put garlic powder, turmeric powder, chicken broth, powdered onion and coriander powder into the bowl and then add water to taste. Then stir until flat. Unfortunately there was no hazelnut at the moment and Chen Sisi lazily took it out of the white jade room. Without candlenuts, he was sure it would taste good.

Once the seasoning is ready, the rabbit meat that has been left for twenty minutes is cleaned again. The container used to boil the noodles last night was quite large. He cleaned the pot first and started boiling the rabbit meat along with the previous seasoning. Do not forget to add bay leaves, as well as lemongrass stems that are pricked to add a distinctive spice aroma.

Tianlong Heyu helped guard the campfire earlier and made a simple furnace out of the rocks that were around the cave. Then the rabbit meat was boiled during the appointed time.

“You carry a lot of stuff on the go?” Tianlong Heyu suspected that Chen Sisi had deliberately brought a lot of cooking ingredients to seduce him.

“Of course. I fell off the top of the hill earlier and fainted. It's too late to go home so just stay in the cave. I brought stuff for emergency.” Chen Sisi could only make excuses.

Previously, he had taken out all of these things from the white jade room, it was impossible to bring them from home, too troublesome. But Tianlong Heyu didn't seem like a stupid man so he was also looking for the right reason.

“You stay around here?” Tianlong Heyu raised his eyebrows.

“Not far from here. I live with my grandfather. He was busy with concocting medicine and probably went looking for herbs. He won't worry if I don't come home a day.”

After all this was not the first time Chen Sisi had not come home after going looking for herbs or the like. And when he came back, his grandfather just snorted dislikefully as no one was cooking for him.

Hearing the girl's explanation, Tianlong Heyu thought that Chen Sisi's grandfather was a doctor or an old man who used to concoct medicine.

Chen Sisi immediately drained the previously boiled rabbit meat. The task of stabbing the meat was given to Tianlong Heyu. The man was so skillful while stabbing the rabbit meat and burning it carefully. Chen Sisi applied sweet soy sauce little by little on the surface of the meat until the fragrant aroma of roasted meat immediately smelled.

Before the roasted rabbit meat ripened, Chen Sisi also sliced the cayenne pepper as well as the onion, then added a sweet soy sauce and a hint of lime-like feeling. When the roasted rabbit meat is ready, both can have breakfast.

Chen Sisi was slightly disappointed when he saw the grilled rabbit meat.

“What's up? Do you not like the results?” Tianlong Heyu saw it displeased, whether he had burnt the meat wrong.

“No, not unhappy. Hey, it's a pity there's no warm rice. It must be delicious to eat together with rice, lettuce or cucumber ..”.

If possible, Chen Sisi wanted to make a good fried onion sambal.

Tianlong Heyu felt that women's minds were very complicated. Not to mention eating rice which is considered a luxury dish the people are in, this girl's family may be rich enough to be able to eat rice at home.

“It's okay, just eat.” Chen Sisi was hungry. Not to forget also the white Persian cat a piece of grilled rabbit meat.

From the smell of the food alone is very appetizing until the stomach of both sound silently. Tianlong Heyu had one part grilled rabbit whole and tried to taste a little. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be able to make his mouth change several times.

The savory and sweet taste of the meat is very suitable with the soy sauce sambal that the first man tried. This was the best grilled meat he had eaten so far. Inevitably, he stared at Chen Sisi for a while.

NB: The grilled rabbit meat seasoning mentioned in this chapter is grilled chicken seasoning. Unfortunately ginger slices were not added in meat stews before. And maybe everyone has their own recipe.
