Chapter 240: Awarding ceremony

8days ago Xuanhuan Novels 9
Roland is designing the medal pattern for tomorrow's medal ceremony. Logically speaking, this work that is not particularly important should have been completed long ago, but he has been a little restless since the afternoon.

To be precise, it was after the Nightingale kissed him.

Although he had a vague premonition before, the other party did not make it clear, and he couldn't take the initiative to speak out. Now it's certain that how should he respond to the other party's feelings?

The Nightingale's question also made him understand that he did not hate the Nightingale, and he was even a little complacent.

Who can hate a beautiful and charming woman who is calm and has a peaceful mind and still spends time with her day and night?

Roland cannot respond positively to the inherent concepts that have been formed over the past twenty years, the actual problems they face in the future, and... Anna's ideas.

Especially on the last point, he couldn't ignore Anna and acted only according to his own preferences.

Perhaps these answers can only be left to time to answer.

Suddenly, there was a knocking knock outside the door.

Come in, it's not locked.Roland shouted, and at the same time, some surprise, who would come to the office at this time?

Anna pushed the door open and saw her holding two plates of dining plates in one hand and a clay pot in the other.Before she could speak, Roland could smell the tempting fragrance.

Eat?

Well, Anna smiled and placed the plate on the table, then took off the bowl covered by the clay pot and poured out the milky white soup. This one was called honey roasted mushrooms. One dish was made by me and the other was made by nightingale. The jar was mushroom soup, which was made by common herb leaves.

It looks delicious, Roland licked his lips, and you can sit down and eat together.

Anna nodded and sat down opposite the table.

Where is Nightingale, why didn’t she come?

She said...I don't know what expression to use when I see you, she replied, I don't quite understand why she cares about this.

... So that's it, Roland sighed softly in his heart. Although he said it with confidence and no regrets, he was still arrogant and said it was not your fault. I just did what I wanted to do, but in fact it was not much better than the squirrel who mustered up the courage to poke out of the hole.

Really, is this bold or timid...

Since that's the case, let's eat first.

Pinch a piece of mushroom and put it in his mouth. The sweetness of honey instantly melted in his mouth, followed by the juice contained in the mushroom. In the era without MSG, this rich and delicious feeling was enough to make people shocked... and a little salt grains further enhance its freshness. Finally, the chewy taste of the mushroom itself is delicate and tough, and the taste is simply impeccable.

These... aren't ordinary mushrooms?After swallowing it, Roland immediately discovered its uniqueness. Generally, it is good to keep the mushrooms smooth and refreshing after grilling. How could it bring its own juice?

It's not made from soup.

Well, it is a specialty of the hide-and-see forest. People in the town call it the bird kiss mushroom. Anna smiled and told the origin of the mushroom. It is precisely because of this that I want you to try it too.

Roland tasted another mushroom used to make soup. It was also very delicious and the juice contained was much richer. It felt like eating a soup bun, and it felt crispy when chewed.

This long-lost sense of taste reminded him of a very common and universal seasoning MSG that was suitable for any dish in later generations.

Before sodium glutamate was discovered, chefs could only enhance the umami flavor of the dish indirect ways, such as making stock with whole chicken, bones, mushrooms and soy.

Although later generations prefer to use authentic flavor to reflect their superb cooking skills, it has to be said that even a poor novice, as long as MSG is added, the food taste can be enriched by more than one level.

If the bird-kiss mushroom is born plump and juicy, it is simply an ideal MSG extract.It grows on trees and is difficult to pick, so it is not promoted?This is not a problem for Roland.

Are there many such mushrooms?

I don't know...but it should be quite a lot. Anna bit off a piece, and Maisie said that she only flew around the edge of the forest and helped me pick up a large bag.

That was really good news. Roland cleanly eliminated the mushroom slices roasted by Anna and extended the chopsticks to another plate. I was worried that the meat chop would be either sprinkled with pepper or honey, and I was almost tired of eating them.

What's wrong?

No... nothing.He burst into tears, Oh my God, this piece is really salty enough. Did the Nightingale accidentally drop it into the salt jar?

Even though he thought so, he swallowed the mushrooms.

Later, Roland discovered that the other mushroom slices were either battered or not cooked thoroughly, and one side was browned and the other side was half-natural.

Fortunately, the bird kiss mushroom itself is very delicious, which largely conceals her poor cooking skills.

I... was full, and he put down his chopsticks, finally finished the second plate, and then drank the soup, and his stomach was already bloated.

Thank you.

Well, there is Nightingale. Anna looks so cute when she smiles. Roland couldn't help but reach out and pinch her nose.

The latter whined, leaned forward and kissed the prince on the cheek, then I'll go wash the dishes, remember to go to bed early.

Roland let out a light breath after the witch left.

Although I don't want to ignore Anna's ideas... there are some things that are not so easy to say.

He thought helplessly, maybe this is related to his identity as a mechanical dog. After all, he had little dealing with the opposite sex during his entire academic period.

Even after graduation, I successfully entered a large design institute and had a considerable salary, this has not changed.

Fortunately, there is still a long way to go before the complete defeat of the church, and he can slowly think about what to do next.As for now, it is better to concentrate on completing the work in front of you.

……

The next morning, when Roland climbed the temporary wooden platform in the square, there was already a crowd of people around him.

Today's border town has changed drastically compared to its former remote and poor appearance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has been completely renewed.

The sparse old houses in the town have been demolished, replaced by construction sites that broke ground and all brick houses. The latter are all built according to the overall planning of the community. At first glance, they look neat and neat. Although they only occupy one-third of the town's land, they are enough to accommodate the original two thousand indigenous people.

By the time the third and fourth floor residential buildings are put into construction and the subsequent development of the community, the same piece of land will only increase in the population.

As of now, the name Border Town is obviously not very consistent with the real situation. No small town can have a population of nearly 20,000 and a professional army of 600 people.

He plans to wait until the spring of next year to officially promote this place to a real city.

Under the influence of the echo, Roland's voice quickly calmed everyone down.

Today is the first award ceremony in Border Town to commend and inspire those who have made significant contributions to this place.It has been almost half a year since I arrived here. We defeated the evil beast, defeated the duke, and built the town to what it is today.Many people have made a lot of contributions to this, and there are several outstanding people. They are not nobles or wealthy businessmen. Before serving me, they are just an ordinary person, just like you!

He looked around and said loudly, but now, they will be rewarded with great rewards!These include a medal created by me, a hundred golden dragons, and five acres of land!

This news caused a stir among the crowd. Not to mention medals and land, the one hundred golden dragons alone are enviable huge sums.

Such a ceremony will not be followed once, and a medal ceremony will be held every year. No matter whether it is born or wealth, as long as you have outstanding achievements, you will be able to get this highest honor!

As Roland finished speaking, the sound of salutes simulated by the echo suddenly resounded throughout the audience. Amid the continuous roars, Iron Axe, Kemostrail and Nanava Pine climbed onto the wooden platform surrounded by the First Army.
