The sesame shortbread baked by Luther is very crispy. When you take a bite, the crispy skin and fragrant sesame seeds fall down together, highlighting the crispiness.
The sesame shortbread originally made by Luther looked ugly. It was either over-baked and had a burnt taste, or the dough was not chewy enough to make hard lumps when eaten.
But everything requires practice. The more you practice, the better you will naturally become.
In order to have more fun in life during his stay on Qidao, Luther picked up the skill of making pastries again.
The benefit of having a Mariluli by your side becomes apparent at this time. No matter how many defective products Luther makes, at least if you throw them away, Mariluli will be able to help you digest them completely.
Mariluli, on the other hand, wished that Luther would make a bunch of defective products every day. Anyway, there was no possibility of a furnace of charcoal being roasted here at Luther. It was much safer than giving Sirona trial and error.
The freshly baked sesame shortcakes were all distributed, and those who didn't eat had to wait for the next batch.
Elves that are good at using mental power, such as Tiburim, Miaomiao, and Gardevoir, eat much more elegantly. It doesn't matter if the crispy and sesame seeds on the surface fall off, use your mental power to catch them, and then put them into your mouth little by little.
Luther often cooked for them on Qidao, but since coming to Galar, Luther hadn't cooked for a long time, so they enjoyed the meal very much.
Mali Luli and A'du's Kuailong was much bolder. Considering how they ate their jujubes wholeheartedly, Luther specially gave them an extra shortbread. As a result, these two guys threw it into their mouths and probably didn't even taste the taste.
He stretched out his hand to Luther and asked for the next portion.
"I put red bean paste in it today, have you eaten it?"
Maliluli and A'du's dragon shook their heads.
When meeting these two guys who didn't appreciate the exquisite food, Luther could only helplessly shake his head.
When Acerola brought Oonio to the orphanage, she happened to catch the freshly baked sesame shortbread, and while eating it, Acerola said.
"Master, Shijana has already surpassed your ranking."
Luther's hands kneading the dough paused for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at Acerola.
"Just now, Shijana's game just finished in Water Boat Town, and she should be on her way back now."
During the entire Galar Championship, Luther was in a state of carefree attitude toward Shijana, and he only had one requirement for Shijana: to win every battle.
The pressure accumulated during long-term training was released on the championship stage, and Shijana, who had never won many games, exploded.
After she lost several games one after another due to poor adjustment, she quickly discovered the shortcomings of her team from the failure, and once again launched a wave of winning streak, with great momentum.
And her Thorn Dragon King has become the most popular water elf in this tournament.
"That's great." Luther sighed and kneaded the dough even more vigorously.
The child who was turned back from Meteor Falls was already able to stand alone without even realizing it. This growth rate even surprised Luther himself.
He never felt that it was embarrassing for him to be surpassed by his disciples. Rather, Luther hoped that everyone who walked out of Qidao would be better than him.
If they are worse than me, a person who is lazy all day long, what does that mean?
In the future, the name Shijana will leave more traces in various regions, not just in Sinnoh and Qidao. She should be discussed more and more until her strength reaches the point where she can compete with them.
Luther is looking forward to Sijana reaching that point, and then he can, as a master, help Sijana reach a higher level.
After feeding Tiburim another mouthful of cake, the evil-minded Luther saw the moment she bit the cake and pulled her back, pulling the unsuspecting Tiburim into his arms.
With a confused look on his face, Tibrim chewed the shortbread and stretched out his hand to hook the other half in Luther's hand.
Seeing Tiburim's expression, Luther couldn't bear to continue playing pranks anymore, but the hand holding the cake suddenly became light.
Kuailong took advantage of his height and took the pie, patting his butt and walking away.
Did A'Du not feed Kuailong properly? Why was he so greedy when he came to me?
Lu Lina finally managed to deal with a bunch of sponsors, leaving only two or three companies that were more troublesome and had been stuck in contracts and wouldn't let go. She came to Luther to tell him that she still had money and could settle things on her own.
Lu Lina was a little frightened by Luther's way of throwing away money. She thought that the money in those few boxes was all, but later she found out that it was not.
Luther meant it when he said, "Ask me if you don't have enough."
When he heard that he was being harassed by sponsors, Luther kept sending money, even if he refused unilaterally, it didn't work.
In desperation, Lulina decided to visit the house in person, hoping to make Luther stop.
"Want to eat pie?"
Before Luther could speak, Darkrai took the plate and asked if he wanted to eat the cake.
Originally he wanted to refuse, but Darkrai said with some dissatisfaction: "Luther made it with his own hands and it will be gone later. Do you really not want to eat it?"
"...Then I will do one, come one..."
Lurina hurriedly took one away and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
It is unexpectedly delicious, the crust is crispy, and it makes a crunching sound when you bite into it. This is an auditory enjoyment that can only be enjoyed when eating shortbread freshly baked from the oven.
In order to maintain her figure, Lulina is very strict about her diet. Food is far away from her life, and sweets are even more of a luxury.
The red bean filling that Luther used to make shortbread contained a lot of sugar, which made Lurina, who had not eaten high sugar for a long time, couldn't help but think about it for a while.
Lurina had to apologize. She really had no idea about Luther's cooking skills. She was afraid that it was dark cuisine, so she didn't plan to eat it in the first place.
"It's a coincidence that you came here, just in time to eat something freshly baked." Luther patted away the hand that Mali Luli stretched out and divided the cakes among the elves around him.
Lu Lina sighed: "I didn't expect senior to be so good at making pastries."
"I just do it when I have nothing to do. I get good at it as I do it. In fact, it's very ordinary. I heard that great pastry chefs can do the 'three brights' when mixing noodles. I have been doing it for so long and I can't do it. I can only
He said he couldn't get home."
"Would you like another piece?"
Looking at the shortbread handed over by Luther, Lurina swallowed.
She really wanted to refuse, but her hand reached out unconsciously.
"Done?" Luther asked again.
Still feeling the sweetness of the dense bean paste in her mouth, Lu Lina quickly answered when Luther asked herself.
"There are only two or three companies left that are clinging to it, saying they want at least three times more liquidated damages, but I'm already solving the problem myself."
Luther said "Oh" and called Acerola to his side.
"Take Lurina to our hotel later and let her get it by herself."
Lu Lina waved her hands repeatedly: "That's not the case. When I came here this time, I hoped to use my own money to solve the remaining problems. Please don't send me any more money."
"Although you have left Galar, your family still lives here. It is inevitable that there will be times when you are in urgent need of money." Luther said, "Anyway, the money I brought was blown by the wind. I will not spend it until it is in vain. If you need it, you can use it first."
Just take it."
"By the way, since you are here, I just want to ask you something."
Lu Lina said seriously: "What's the matter?"
"How much do you know about the alliance's agreement to block Caidou?"
