Steam gushed out of the wooden stear, and Charlotte calculated the ti as he carried the pot upstairs.
It was already dark outside, and Vivian, who was hungry, had no motivation to continue working. She followed behind Charlotte, slling the rich aroma of at in the air as they went upstairs.
Even Anna, who lazily lay on the cabinet, jumped down with a puzzled expression. After hesitating for a mont, she also climbed up the stairs.
Charlotte placed the pot on the table and waited for a while before uncovering it.
"Wow! Boss, they've gotten bigger!"
Vivian stood on tiptoes at the table, looking at the plump white dumplings in the pot. They had grown even larger than when they were first cooked. They looked full and emitted a fragrant aroma of at that made her unable to resist swallowing her saliva.
What kind of pastry was this? She had never seen it before!
And it had been so long since she had eaten at. The strong aroma of the at made her feel like she was about to lose control.
Rumble...
Her stomach grumbled uncontrollably.
Charlotte smiled faintly. Not to ntion Vivian, even he, who had been eating black bread for three days, couldn't help but salivate several tis when he slled the aty fragrance.
Compared to dostically raised pork, the wild boar hunted in the wilderness had an even stronger aroma.
Charlotte took a plate and first served Vivian a dumpling, saying, "This is a soup dumpling. It has soup inside the thin skin, so you have to be careful when eating. First..."
"SsssMmm! It's hot!"
Before Charlotte could finish his sentence, Vivian, who had taken a bite of the dumpling, covered her mouth and took two steps back, her eyes shimring with tears.
Look at how hungry the child was!
"You can't rush when eating soup dumplings. You have to take it step by step. These just ca out of the stear, and the soup inside the thin skin is still boiling. If you take a big bite like that, you'll burn your mouth." Charlotte chuckled and picked up a dumpling for himself. After waiting for a mont, he used his teeth to gently open a small hole on the side of the dumpling, and hot steam imdiately rushed out.
He blew on it gently to cool it down and took a small sip of the soup.
Hiss... Not hot!
He couldn't lose face in front of the little girl.
When his taste buds regained their senses, the rich aty aroma of the soup burst on his tongue, delicious and refreshing. His taste buds, which had been lacking stimulation for a long ti, suddenly rejoiced.
Mmm! This is the taste!
Charlotte's eyes lit up. Ignoring the still slightly hot soup, he couldn't resist taking another sip.
With an improved al, life in this other world seed less difficult to endure.
Watching Charlotte imrsed in eating dumplings, Vivian's throat rolled, and she quietly cast a healing spell on herself. The burnt sensation in her mouth imdiately disappeared.
She instinctively licked her lips and was amazed by the lingering delicious taste of the soup. Unable to resist, she lowered her head and took another bite of the dumpling.
The temperature of the soup had already dropped, so when she bit into it, the thin and elastic dough released a mouthful of juicy soup into her mouth.
The rich aroma of the at rushed to her head. The deliciousness was so direct that her taste buds exploded as if a wild boar was rampaging in her mouth, making it impossible for her to resist.
The temperature of the soup was completely masked by the taste, and the slight sensation of pain was completely ignored.
The soup slid down her throat, and she slurped it up in no ti.
At that mont, all the etiquette she had learned as a noble since childhood was thrown out of her mind. The only thing on her mind was the soup dumpling in front of her.
After drinking most of the soup, she took another bite of the dumpling.
The chewy dough wrapped around the juicy atball, tender and flavorful, slid smoothly into her mouth. It wasn't greasy or heavyit was simply wonderful!
Vivian quickly finished one dumpling and then subconsciously licked the remaining soup on the plate.
When she looked up again, her gaze at Charlotte had completely changedshocked, puzzled, and filled with admiration!
Why was he, a doctor, so skilled in cooking?!
After all, she had spent almost all her ti studying dicine.
But this man in front of her used to be a legend in the eyes of dical students.
"If you like it, have a few more. I need this pot in a mont, and I don't think there will be any left for tomorrow." Charlotte noticed Vivian's confusion. It was difficult to answer that question, so he could only say... it was an interest?
Upon hearing this, Vivian quickly handed over her plate and took another dumpling, savoring it with relish.
"ow..."
The white cat appeared without them noticing and crouched at the door, watching the two of them. It let out a ow, then, as Charlotte looked its way, it turned its head away haughtily.
"Co here and let pat your head, and I'll give you a bun," Charlotte gestured to the at bun on the plate, smiling enticingly.
This cat was quite elusive. It had been three days, and he hadn't been able to touch it even once.
Even though it had a la leg, even if Charlotte had another leg, he probably wouldn't be able to catch it.
"Anna, co over quickly, the buns are delicious!" Vivian, her mouth stuffed, called out to the white cat.
Anna glanced at the buns on Charlotte's plate, then at Charlotte himself. Unconsciously, she sniffed the air, then nonchalantly wandered toward the table, ending up beside Charlotte's feet.
Charlotte watched as the cat deliberately ignored him, looking left and right, and couldn't help but find it amusing. Was this cat playing gas?
After waiting for a while and seeing that Charlotte wasn't patting its head but instead slurping up the bun, Anna couldn't bear it any longer and tilted her head back, calling out to him.
"Oh, so you ca over. You should have said so earlier." Charlotte reached out and patted its head. The pure white fur was incredibly smooth to the touch.
Even in a poor household like Charlotte's, where they had als only when they could afford to, the fact that this cat had such luxurious fur indicated that it ca from a good lineage.
Indeed, petting a cat was extrely therapeutic. Charlotte patted it for quite a while before taking an empty plate and filling it with a soup dumpling, using a small knife to cut it open a little and placing it in front of Anna.
The rich aty aroma made Anna's eyes light up. She lowered her head and licked the soup, making a smacking sound.
While eating at, she couldn't help but emit a purring sound.
She was completely enthralled by the al.
This was the most satisfying al Charlotte had eaten since he transmigrated to this other world.
It was probably the most delicious al Vivian and Anna had eaten in their ti of despair as well.
"I'll take care of washing the dishes." After dinner, Vivian volunteered to do the cleaning.
Charlotte was more than happy to agree.
Who could refuse a maid who willingly washed the dishes?
Anna sat on the chair, licked her lips, and observed Charlotte as if she was seeing him for the first ti.
"Little one, be good from now on, and I'll make you other delicious things." Charlotte reached out and rubbed its head, then scratched its chin.
Anna instinctively wanted to escape, but upon hearing the promise of sothing tasty, she held back.
She was like a little kidnapped wife.
Charlotte smiled, lifted the new pot, and went downstairs.
Although it was already dark outside, for soone like him, who was a night owl, it was still early. He planned to continue researching the formula for the hydrating essence.
