Chapter195: Does the owner enjoy night raids?
"They seem really in love."
Vivian stood at the door, watching the two of them get on the carriage, and murmured.
"Yeah." Charlotte's lips also showed a hint of a smile.
Just yesterday, they were still a pair of ill-fated lovers living under the same roof, but they hadn't seen each other for a year.
But next, Leo's series of adventures with his servant and mermaid maid, Arbin and the Mermaid Maid, should be coming to an end, right?
After all...
An excellent hareman novel author must be a single dog who hasn't experienced the torment of a tigress, only then can their imagination of love be adorable and innocent.
Likewise, a competent hentai manga artist must be the same, right?
Charlotte turned to Kasha and asked, "Kasha, do you currently experience severe difficulty in breathing? Does the condition worsen at night?"
"During the day, there are hardly any noticeable symptoms. Occasionally, I have difficulty breathing while sleeping at night, and sometimes it wakes me up from my sleep," Kasha said.
"In that case, take a bottle of this potion and try it today to see if there's any improvement tonight." Charlotte handed her a bottle of potion.
"Mumm."
Kasha nodded obediently and hesitated for a moment before asking softly with a hint of curiosity, "Master, is Linda Leo's maid?"
"Well... it's possible."
Charlotte wasn't sure how to define their relationship, but Linda kept the cabin tidy and, in practice, acted like a maid, or rather, like what a mistress would do.
"Why do you suddenly ask?"
"I'm just a little curious. Is Leo called Arbin his nickname? Besides being a doctor, is he also a manga artist?" Kasha tilted her head and looked at him with curiosity in her eyes.
"Does he record their daily lives? The interaction between the master and the maid, is it like that?"
Charlotte: ??
Wait a minute!
Something doesn't seem right.
"You... read that picture book?" Charlotte asked cautiously.
"If you're talking about the story of the mermaid maid, then yes." Kasha nodded, her big watery eyes looked at him innocently.
"You told me to read more books and learn about the world on land, so I picked some books from the bookshelf. This one was especially interesting."
"Um..."
Charlotte was at a loss for words. This kind of adult manga is interesting.
But, would Kasha think of it as a documentary work?
And try to use it as a learning template?
No, no...
This doesn't seem right.
"Leo is a full-time doctor. He didn't draw that, as you just saw. He's a very skilled healer." Charlotte clarified Leo's occupation first.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
If someone familiar found out about drawing explicit manga, wouldn't that be too socially awkward?
Charlotte thought he would have to wait for a while, but the butcher promptly demonstrated his exceptional skill in butchering the buffalo.
Wasn't there a legend about Butcher Ding?
Where the hand touches, the shoulder leans, the footsteps, the knee bends, with a "huh" the blade moves with precision, hitting the right notes!
In just ten short minutes, the buffalo, the size of a small mountain, was dismembered into a massive skeleton, and not a single strip of meat clung to the white bones.
"Doctor, this is the meat you wanted, a total of thirty kilograms, for 1500 copper coins," the butcher handed three pieces of meat to Charlotte, all of them cut from the best parts.
Charlotte took them in his hand and could tell instantly that the butcher had given him an extra one to two kilograms of meat.
But with so many people crowded around, he didn't want to say anything. He quickly paid the money, thanked the butcher, and left with the meat.
1500 copper coins for the meat, he rarely spent so generously.
When he paid, it felt like his heart was bleeding.
But this beef was indeed top-notch. The steak was cut from the tenderloin at the rib bones, without a trace of fat, and would surely be delicious when fried.
Especially the beef brain, with its delicate and beautiful marbling, was the best for hot pot and grilled beef skewers.
As for the beef belly, it was a must for braised beef, with its firm and chewy texture, which was the essence of braised beef.
At 50 copper coins per kilogram, it was not expensive at all.
Yesterday, he had lost a lot of blood, and although he had replenished it with potent potions, he still felt that he should treat himself to something good.
This fresh, red meat was the best tonic.
"Wow, so much beef! Boss, did you strike it rich today?" Vivian looked at the meat in Charlotte's hands, her eyes widening.
As a genuine foodie, she already had a good understanding of the price level in Baka Street, and beef was a luxury item that would not usually end up in Charlotte's shopping cart.
But today, he brought back three large pieces of beef!
"Everyone has been working hard lately, so I bought some beef to treat you all," Charlotte said as he carried the meat upstairs.
"Is beef tasty?" Kasha had never seen beef before.
"Of course! The beef is super delicious. You can stew it in a pot with some seasonings, and it's incredibly flavorful," Vivian said with certainty.
"In our place, if we hunt down a water buffalo, we usually eat it sliced raw," Kasha said after thinking for a moment.
"What does it taste like..."
Vivian felt a little uncomfortable, but quickly looked forward to it and said, "The boss should bring some new cooking methods, right? After all, his cooking skills are much better than those of the chefs outside."
Upstairs, Charlotte first cooked the rice in a pot and then started to prepare the beef.
The steak was set aside, it could be fried and served as breakfast tomorrow.
The beef brain was diced and lightly marinated with seasonings for later use. It would be skewered on bamboo sticks and grilled directly as beef skewers.
The beef belly was cut into chunks, boiled in cold water to remove impurities, and then used for braising.
With over thirty kilograms of beef, he had planned it all out clearly.
The beef belly was simmering in the pot, and Charlotte found a few thin iron rods to DIY a grill himself.
Then he took out some charcoal from the bottom of the pot to make a fire.
The meat skewers with snowflake-like patterns were placed on the hot grill and immediately began sizzling and oozing oil, without the need for extra oil brushing.
The aroma of the grilled meat spread out, teasing the appetites of those nearby.
