The specific time was one hour, which was more than enough to cook one dish. Yang Ming just wanted to find a topic to talk about. She did not stop what she was doing and replied with a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't go over time. I guarantee that I can make it just right."
The word "just right" was used deliberately. It seems that she belongs to the type of work style that likes to complete the task just before the deadline, while Yang Ming likes to complete it as quickly as possible and then rest in his spare time.
Without saying anything more, the two of them were doing their own thing silently. After Yang Ming finished steaming the fish early, he put all the meals he had just made on the table. This time, the location was in another part of the kitchen.
It is also considered to be in line with space utilization.
After Yang Ming finished all the work before dinner, he sat on the dining table and chairs and observed the blue dragon who was still sitting on the stove. Although he had already completed the competition, the subsequent food serving activities still made time pass until the game was about to end.
A few minutes ago.
"Hehe, I knew it."
Lan Long brought over the large pot of stew she had made and announced that she had completed the task. After approaching Yang Ming, he said with a smile,
"You will finish the other work at the same time. In fact, we don't have much time to rest."
It seems that Yang Ming's lifestyle is not really conducive to reducing labor hours, but this is indeed the case. Yang Ming is not a person who can really take time off, and will continue to exceed his future needs.
Everything is done in advance.
"Hey, this is something that must be done. There is no need to care too much about who comes."
Yang Ming sighed and said,
"Anyway, let's eat first."
"Hmm~"
She smiled happily and seemed to be in a good mood. She didn't know why she suddenly became more excited.
The next step, of course, was to test the taste of the dishes they made. There was basically no suspense in the process. Both of them spoke highly of each other's cooking skills, and they were equally delicious.
"I have changed my view on you. I thought you were just a very capable teacher, but I didn't expect you to be such an accomplished chef."
Blue Dragon picked up a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks, spit it out in one bite, and then exclaimed that this rough way of eating was very characteristic of dragons.
Yang Ming also poured the stewed meat and broth into the rice bowl and started eating with the rice. After chewing and swallowing, he commented:
"This pot of meat goes well with rice, and the taste is just right. I'm afraid you have tried it countless times before you can master it to this extent."
Speaking of this, there was no need to continue the competition. The two looked at each other and smiled. Yang Ming took the lead and said:
"I think we'll have a draw this time."
"Okay, but we'll talk about that later."
She is still interested in continuing the competition, which is not a big deal. They are all things that have to be eaten in the end anyway. It is definitely not a bad thing to maintain a high level.
Then the two of them immersed themselves in eating. When they were almost finished, and only the finishing touches were left, Yang Ming started talking about another topic and said casually:
"Speaking of which, it seems that I still don't know your name. Since we plan to get along with you for a long time in the future, I still need to have an explanation, okay?"
"In fact, none of us have names. We rely on our eyes to identify each other."
Lanlong put down his job and explained,
"Since being ruled by humans, each dragon clan has been asked to come up with a code name as a means of identification. However, there is actually no deadline, so I didn't think about it."
Regarding this point, Yang Ming estimated that he was right. The defeated dragon clan was actually a clan led by the three ancestral dragons exiled in the southern region of the Magic Continent. It is not surprising that they would have such a rule.
As for the dragons in Astra, the home planet of the dragons, they were probably not defeated. During the past wars, humans only cooperated with them, but they were all killed by the Dragon King later.
As for why the Dragon King has a name, it was actually given by another strong human being who merged with her. Currently, they are collectively called Zhao Lin. There is no need to specifically distinguish the two identities, just treat them as separate individuals.
"So, can you think of one now?"
Yang Ming tried to ask, this kind of thing is still relatively important. After all, she will not only need to contact herself in the future, but also need to face other people. There must be a way to identify them.
"Hmm... let me think about it then."
Lan Long was lost in thought. Now they had just finished their dinner. Yang Ming started to clear away the dishes, chopsticks and pans, and she also started to help. However, she was still in a thinking state, as if the work at hand had been automated, and she would not know how to do it.
Influences information processed by the brain.
On the way to and from carrying the tableware, she suddenly stopped as if she had a flash of inspiration and shouted:
"Yes! I thought of it, I thought of it."
After saying that, she ran to Yang Ming, who was in charge of washing the dishes. Although she ran very quickly, her body was still very balanced. She put the tableware into the pool with an excited look on her face.
"What did you think of?"
Yang Ming raised his head and looked at her. Lanlong answered word by word:
"How about it's called 'Eps'..."
She then deliberately explained the specific way of writing each word so that Yang Ming could fully understand the meaning.
"I can understand the glyphs. When I heard the name of your dragon clan before, it seemed to be mainly a transliteration."
That is to say, it has no specific meaning, it is just the simplest form of converting the native language into the other language. Yang Ming added,
"But your name seems to have a special meaning?"
Although some meanings can be guessed from the wording of the three words themselves, such as what she loves, maybe it refers to ordinary humans? She does always maintain a good impression of so-called normal people. This broad connotation that radiates to the entire ethnic group is indeed
There is evidence to follow.
But the superficial content is not worthy of Lan Long’s hard thinking. Maybe she has a deeper foreshadowing that can be detailed in more accurate terms.
"Hmph, of course."
She mysteriously approached Yang Ming and replied,
"apus, this is the original word I used. I won't rely on phonetic intuition to translate my identification signals among the dragons. It's boring."
This kind of clearly recorded vocabulary can be easily queried in the knowledge base. Specifically, it can mean swift and the genus Swift. Yang Ming guessed that this is what she wanted to express.
Why would a dragon compare himself to a swift? Yang Ming continued to search for information, and he might be able to find out the answer from the animals recorded in reality.
