Chapter 124 Butter
"Chicken soup is here!"
Kevin blew hot air and trotted to put a large pot of chicken soup on the table.
"Ah! Chicken soup, chicken soup!"
"Hey! Master Qian! Where's the bread!"
Qianjie, wearing a white apron, tapped the boy's head with an iron spoon:
"You little brat! You insist on eating everything in one meal! Save the bread for tomorrow!"
"No no no, Master Qian! We want it today!"
"Boss Kevin, sneak into Master Qian's kitchen and make bread during the nap!"
"Idiot! How can you just say such a conspiracy out loud!"
Mikael supported his chin with his hands, boredly watching the children quarreling around Qianjie and Kevin. He turned around and looked at Hua, who was sitting at the table in an orderly manner, and saw relief in each other's eyes--
"Dealing with children is too troublesome!"
"Taking care of children is really a headache..."
Qianjie is naturally not the kind of person who spoils children. He raised the iron spoon high and slammed it heavily on the long table:
"Shut up!"
This threat has no deterrent effect on the children. They are just young, not stupid. At first, there were still children who would be scared away by Master Qian’s roar...
But he never really hit the children, and he always scolded them with the same few words. In the eyes of the children, Master Qian’s “terribleness” was far less than that of Mother Abonya, who could talk about a trivial matter for more than an hour.
However, most of the children in the orphanage were malnourished and weak, and they were a little overwhelmed after just a short period of fussing.
They soon calmed down and looked at Qianjie eagerly.
“Why are you all looking at me! Eat your own food! Uh...Okay, I’ll make bread for you tonight!”
“Oh, ho, ho! Long live Master Qian!”
“Now I declare that Boss Kevin is not our boss! Long live Master Qian!”
The children imitated Qianjie and knocked on the bowls and tables with wooden spoons. The scene was once very noisy, as if they were going to overturn the roof of the entire orphanage.
Fortunately, at this time, a cold cough sounded, saving Mikael’s ears.
"Ahem!"
With this light cough, everyone fell silent.
But silence does not mean silence. In places where they thought others could not see them, the children winked at each other and played rock-paper-scissors.
"Then... let's start lunch today. Don't talk while eating, hehe."
"Ah, Mikael, Qianjie, Kevin, come to my place after dinner."
Mikael drank a sip of the chicken soup with a little oil floating on it. He had to say that Master Qian's cooking skills were not bad. It tasted much better than... than that time...
He rubbed his chubby cheeks, his mind was a little erratic: "According to the world's plum, the fourth Herrscher appeared in southern Europe, and the fifth Herrscher appeared in eastern Europe as expected. The fourth collapse will take nearly half a year, but... my variable should also affect the progress of the collapse, right?"
When he thought of this, the chicken soup was no longer fragrant. The potatoes were not peeled by Ellie, and he didn't want to eat them, so he jumped off his seat, Kevin understood instantly, and with Qianjie who had nothing to do, the three of them stood in front of Aponia.
Very good, the world where only antiques are forgotten has been achieved.
"Uh..." Abonya was a little stunned at first, then she showed a helpless smile: "You really can't wait..."
She walked into her room and opened the drawer. In the drawer, there was only a small cloth bag besides a few pens and a book.
"I have some money saved here. You guys can go to the town to exchange for some butter."
"Butter? Didn't Master Qian bring back a big piece of butter this morning?"
Kevin scratched his head. Due to some unknown reasons, he knew a little about cooking. The big piece that Qianjie brought back this morning was definitely enough to make bread tonight.
"Don't call me Master Qian!"
"Qianjie, stop being angry."
"Abonya! I..."
"Qianjie, Master is clearly a respectful title given to you by others. Others are showing you goodwill."
"But I don't like it!"
"Qianjie, even if you don't like it, you can't use this attitude to face other people's goodwill, because..."
"Abonya!"
Qianjie suddenly punched the wall, and Mikael felt that the whole orphanage was shaking, which forced him to divert his attention from eating melons and wondered whether he should use the power of space to reinforce the room.
"Qianjie..."
"Don't say it! I... I like the name of Master Qian now! That's enough! Are you happy?"
"...Hey, Qianjie, don't you think the problem is solved? So, when you are angry, you must pay attention to communicating with others..."
"Ahem," Mikael glanced at Qianjie's flushed face and couldn't help but interrupt Abonya's words - if he didn't interrupt, Mikael felt that Qianjie would explode...
"So, Abonya's mother, you haven't told me why you want to buy more butter."
"Ah! Yes! In fact, Qianjie will leave here tomorrow, and he wants to make you a good butter bread for the last meal. But you have seen the situation just now, and I don't know how to tell the children... Of course, this is not a big problem, just buy some more butter."
The two of them looked at Qianjie in unison, and Qianjie shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what the situation was.
Although he arrived in this world earlier than Mikael and the others, he had no idea what had happened before.
But... he doesn't reject it, he doesn't reject this... atmosphere.
"Then why do I let the two of them follow me?"
"Ah...this. I think both Mikael and Kevin are a little absent-minded today. Let's just go out with you to relax."
"..." Qianjie took a deep breath, turned to Mikael and raised his fingers:
"Hmph! Boy, get out of here!"
"Qianjie, you should say... [Please] come with me, Mikael."
"Apponia! It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!"
"I'm not trying to teach you a lesson, I'm just explaining to you..."
Qianjie interrupted Aponya's love education with his actions:
"Mikael, [please] come with me!"
"Qianjie, your tone should be gentler."
"Uh-huh! Aponya!"
Amidst Qianjie's cursing and shouting, several people stepped into the wind and snow.
…………
Qianjie walked aggressively at the front alone, and Kevin and Mikael naturally gathered together.
"Speaking of which, Mikael, who is this... Master Qian?"
Kevin's question seemed to be purely out of curiosity, but his overly exaggerated tone made him appear to have ulterior motives.
In response, Mikael only uttered a few words:
"He's a man."
"..." Kevin tightened his coat, feeling chilled by the joke.
"Okay, Kevin. We're not too unfamiliar with each other, so if you have any questions, you can ask straight to the point... You... are too upright... not suitable for tricking people by insinuating words."
"..." Kevin didn't know for a moment whether Mikael was praising him or hurting him.
But now that Mikael has said so, he is no longer polite:
"I heard from Hua that this man fought with you all night?"
"..." This time it was Mikael's turn to be silent. I don't know if there was something wrong with his thinking, or if Kevin didn't use his words carefully. He always felt that there was some ambiguity in what he just said.
Seeing his silence, Kevin felt that he was too careful and didn't ask directly enough, so he asked again: "So, this man can really compete with the Herrscher?"
Mikael did not answer his question directly, but asked first: "So, the fact that I am still alive and that I am the Herrscher is no longer a secret in Fire Chaser Moth?"
"Well?"
Kevin twisted his head and shrugged under the influence of a mysterious force:
"Why doesn't it count?"
"..."
"Okay, Erwin, Cangxuan, and Danzhu have been grouped into solitary confinement."
"..."
Well, although it is unclear how these three big mouths knew about this matter, it seems that they played a vital role in the spread, and they can actually make a 'message' become more important than Mikael's tomb. real……
Talent!
"So...Mikael..."
He knew what Kevin was going to say and shook his head decisively: "You'd better put away that idea. Not to mention how dangerous this man is, nor that I have already taken a liking to him... Think about it carefully, before you He Mei simply didn’t have the strength to ensure his safety or conceal his identity, so he took him back to the Fire Chaser..."
"Haha, think about my fate..."
