Chapter 202 Raymond's Past
In Raymond's bare skeleton's eye socket, the green flame suddenly fluctuated violently.
He didn't seem to have thought of getting such an answer.
"So that's the case, is it absolutely neutral? It's really rare."
Raymond muttered in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
“I said I wanted to order bacon potato soup.”
Qian Chen thought for a moment and nodded.
"This is easy, wait."
At this time, Raymond seemed to remember something again and specifically reminded him.
"By the way, don't add bacon to the soup."
“…”
Qian Chen's first reaction was that this guy was teasing him.
However, when Qian Chen subconsciously looked at Raymond, he found that his eyes were very serious.
Well, although this requirement is strange, since it is the request of the diner, Qian Chen decided to try his best to satisfy him.
"Hold on."
Qian Chen turned around and walked into the kitchen.
Potato soup is a very common Western soup dish. It can be seen on high-end French restaurants or on the dining table at home. The only difference lies in the fineness of the ingredients and methods.
Since it is a bacon potato soup without bacon, it is probably the easiest family-style recipe that Raymond wants to taste.
Qian Chen took out the ingredients first and prepared them.
They are potatoes with the main ingredients and onions with the auxiliary ingredients.
The seasoning requires salt, pepper, minced herbs, light cream and butter.
You can choose large granules for pepper, which will have a stronger taste, while butter can replace bacon to add a meaty aroma to the soup. If you think the butter is too greasy, you can also choose vegetarian oils such as soybean oil, corn oil, etc.
Peel and diced potatoes and onions, then heat the butter in the pan, stir-fry the diced potatoes and onions until fragrant, soften, then add water and start cooking.
After Qian Chen felt that the heat had enough, he beat the potatoes into mashed potatoes, then added light cream to continue boiling. At the same time, water can be used to adjust the viscosity of the soup.
When cooking, you need to stir constantly to prevent the soup from being too thick and the bottom will make the pot stick.
Finally add salt and black pepper to taste, and serve as sprinkle a little minced vanilla in a bowl. This will not only enhance the aroma, but will not make the soup in the bowl too monotonous.
So, a bowl of fragrant potato soup was done.
Qian Chen brought the potato soup to Raymond.
Raymond picked up the spoon and took a sip, with a hint of stunning in his eyes.
Soon, a bowl of potato soup came to the bottom.
Raymond put down the spoon and began to become dazed, his eyes full of memories. After a while, he slowly spoke.
"Boss, you made good soup. But Nina still makes the best."
Qian Chen glanced at the empty soup bowl and smiled without saying anything.
Just like when you ask someone, "Where is the best barbecue?", most of the answers you get will always be "The best one at the bottom of my house."
The upper limit of emotional points is always equal to infinity.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
After a while, Raymond suddenly spoke.
"Boss, would you like to hear my story?"
Then, without waiting for Qian Chen to answer, he started talking on his own.
Looking at his reminiscence, a trace of enlightenment flashed in Qian Chen's eyes. Raymond just needed a listener. As for who the listener was, it didn't seem important.
Accompanied by a hoarse voice, the past hidden in Raymond's heart slowly appeared in front of Qian Chen...
“My sister Nina and I were born in a small village and our parents died when we were very young.
This is also the norm in our world. Gods frequently launch holy wars in order to compete for faith. If there is no war in the whole world in that year, we may wonder if the end of the world has come.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in Raymond's plain eyes.
Since he realized the true face of the gods, he has never believed in any gods again.
The gods are just a group of thieves who ascend to the throne of the Supreme God in order to compete for faith and regard all living beings on the continent as props.
"Since I was a child, I swear to make a name for myself and then take Nina to live a good life.
Aren't you curious why I didn't add bacon? It's simple, because we can't afford meat.
We both grew up and everything seemed to be getting better. It seemed that luck began to favor me. I was attracted by a mage and accepted as an apprentice.
A mage is a noble profession, but it corresponds to a high tuition fee.
Although my tutor waived the vast majority of me, with the environment of our family, we can’t even afford the most basic tuition fee.
Just when I was at a loss, Nina suddenly handed me two gold coins. She said that this was the legacy left by her parents and she had hidden it before.
I actually believed it.
With this money, the teacher and I returned to the mage tower and started the mage's studies.
Nina always sends a letter every once in a while and sends a sum of money with the letter.
This money plus I work for the teacher can barely maintain the mage's academic performance.
Three years have passed in a flash and I have successfully completed my studies.
But Nina broke off contact with me a few months ago.
After successfully becoming a formal mage, I hurried back to the hut we used to live in, but the person who opened the door was a stranger.
Under my urge to ask, the man told me the truth.
It turns out that there is no inheritance left by parents at all.
Nina has been lying to me. For the past three years, she has been working as a Nu Chang Nu Branch in a tavern, and the money she earned with her body.
Just two months before I graduated, two groups of mercenaries got drunk and fought in the tavern. Nina was dragged in. When the tavern owner dragged her out of the ruins, she was no longer angry.
The Pastor of the God of Light, who is responsible for managing the public offering, refused to bury Nina in the public offering, on the grounds that a filthy soul would defile the glory of the God of Light.
They had no choice but to bury her by the lake.
When I found the cemetery, the tomb had been opened by animals, and in the end I only found this one."
Raymond said as he took out a necklace from his arms, and the one hanging on it was actually a human finger bone.
"Next, I killed the man who seized our family and the priest who killed the God of Light.
For revenge and to resurrect Nina, I gave up my faith in the magic goddess and began to learn necromancers while searching for the whereabouts of my enemies.
Then I found them and killed everyone in the two mercenary groups with the cruelest necromancers, and then imprisoned the souls of the two commanders and made them into hordes, so that their souls would be subjected to endless torture forever.
In order to resurrect Nina, I sacrificed a person from the Principality as a sacrifice.
And I'm going to do it a few more times.
Because, I seem to have found a way to resurrect Nina."
Raymond looked at Qian Chen with his eyes curled up.
From beginning to end, Raymond's emotional fluctuations seemed not very obvious, just as if he was telling someone else's story.
