Thus, the name of the Willow Leaf Turtle was decided to be San.
San is quite a temperamental creature; aside from circling around Lin, it does nothing else and does not allow outsiders to approach. Whenever someone gets too close, it raises its two snake-like necks to threaten them.
Through observation, Lin Ye realized that San's three heads do not truly represent three separate minds. Excluding the middle head, the other two seem to possess little intelligence and follow the commands of the main head.
This arrangement has its advantages; at least the three heads do not argue among themselves and do not fight for control of their body due to disagreements.
Since following Lin, this creature has been inseparable from him, following him wherever he goes.
Its communication skills are also lacking; it does not understand what Lin says and can only manage as it is for now. Perhaps when it grows a bit more, it can be trained further.
After dealing with San, it was already dinner time. Naturally, Lin went to the kitchen to prepare a simple meal.
Even so, Fatty and Dream Source praised the food endlessly, and Fatty even started a live stream to celebrate enjoying his brother's craftsmanship once again.
After dinner, Fatty left to go home and sleep, but an awkward moment awaited Lin and Mengyuan.
...
"I... I think we should sleep separately from now on..."
Dream Source lowered her head, her face flushed. This topic was always difficult for her to bring up.
If it were before, it would have been fine since Dream Source's memories were incomplete and she seemed like a child. But now that she has returned to normal, there is no way to revert to the previous state.
"Sure! That's good; it wasn't really suitable for us to sleep together anyway! Hahaha..."
Lin laughed stiffly, feeling extremely awkward. This issue had not arisen while they were in the hospital, but now that they were back home, various problems began to surface.
Dream Source was no longer the naive cat; she had many of her own thoughts now. The friction in their daily lives was just beginning.
Hearing Lin's response, Dream Source did not reply, her expression suddenly changing as she frowned and huffed before turning to go upstairs.
Lin scratched his head and murmured, "What did I do wrong?"
Straight male cancer is truly terrifying.
...
In the dead of night, with the bright moon hanging high, the old street was unusually quiet. It was a good time to fall asleep, but some people were troubled by their thoughts and couldn't sleep soundly.
"I wonder if he's sleeping well..."
Tossing and turning, Dream Source couldn't fall asleep, her mind filled with chaotic thoughts that made her increasingly restless. After several turns, she finally chose to cover herself with a blanket and not think about those messy thoughts.
Meanwhile, Lin was already sound asleep, snoring lightly; he was indeed a straight man who slept so peacefully.
Even Lin, who was as dense as a block of wood, occasionally turned over and would reach out for that familiar body. When he couldn't find it after a few attempts, he suddenly woke up and mumbled, "Oh right, the alien isn't sleeping with me anymore..."
Both of them were stubbornly holding on to their feelings while forcing themselves apart; it was uncertain how long they could maintain this.
If such emotions continued to build up, it would eventually explode. Perhaps that moment would be when their relationship took another step forward.
The deep night remained tranquil; tonight's dreams would surely be beautiful.
...
...
The next morning, Lin got up early. For the next two days, he would become a machine, spinning for the "Whole Deer Feast."
This morning, Lin finalized the Divine Menu for the Whole Deer Feast. He had little experience with such a large-scale feast, making it a challenge for him.
In his mind, he circled around the Silverhorn Antelope, deciding on the Cold Eight Dishes and Hot Eight Dishes.
The Whole Deer Feast is different from previous dishes; it not only tests the chef's culinary skills but also their understanding of ingredients, reflecting the chef's level of artistry.
First and foremost is the understanding of the ingredients themselves. Since it is a Whole Deer Feast, many parts of the deer must be used. To put it bluntly, Deer Antler, Deer Lips, Deer Tendon, Deer Tail, Deer Whip, as well as meat, heart, liver, and stomach are all prime cuts for cooking.
Various cooking techniques must be employed to fully showcase the texture of the ingredients. Methods such as frying, roasting, braising, steaming, and stir-frying all need to be utilized.
Thus, this will be very difficult. If it weren't for someone of Lin's Culinary God caliber, few could manage to balance everything and create a complete Whole Deer Feast.
Lin relied on his accumulated experience from his past life and researched information to interpret the Silverhorn Antelope before finalizing the content of the Divine Menu.
Cold Eight Dishes: Snow Country Platter, Deer Blood Elixir, Cold Roasted Venison, Braised Deer Liver, Peppery Deer Stomach, Deer Shredded Meat with Bean Sprouts, Sauced Deer Heart, Spicy Venison Tongue.
Two dishes deserve special mention. One is the Snow Country Platter, which serves as an appetizer and does not include any deer ingredients; instead, it uses purely vegetarian options.
However, these vegetables are not simple; they were wild vegetables that Lin had Yuming procure overnight from Snowy Mountain. These wild vegetables are food for the Silverhorn Antelope and meet human consumption standards—truly a thoughtful endeavor.
The other dish is the core of the Cold Eight Dishes: the Deer Blood Elixir.
Deer Blood is considered the essence of the deer and has significant restorative properties. When mixed with medicinal wine for drinking, it is an ancient Herbal Cuisine that has been passed down through generations.
Moreover, serving this dish as the conclusion of the cold dishes complements the hot dishes perfectly.
The medicinal wine served with the cold platter can invigorate blood circulation and stimulate appetite. The warm aroma of the wine swirls in the stomach, dispelling the chill from the cold dishes.
After finishing the Cold Eight Dishes, it's time for the Hot Eight Dishes.
Hot Eight Dishes: Orchid Deer Lip, Snow Deer Three Delicacies, Phoenix Antelope Tendon, Suyela Venison Steak, Sesame Venison, Deer Riding Dragon, Snowflake Braised Deer Brain, Three-Yuan Braised Deer Head Dish.
Among these Hot Eight Dishes, each dish is a masterpiece that deserves careful attention, with Deer Riding Dragon being the most nourishing and a favorite among men.
The main ingredient used is Deer Whip, which has its gamey taste removed by spices to enhance the flavor. It is said that after consuming it, one can see results that very night, revitalizing those who have long struggled with impotence.
On the other hand, the preparation of the Three-Yuan Braised Deer Head Dish is the most intricate and splendid, making it the perfect finale for the hot dishes.
This dish borrows its method from the Qing Dynasty Court’s “Three-Yuan Deer Head Dish”.
“Head Meat” refers to the dough skin, while deer Head Meat is the meat on top of the deer noodles, primarily made of skin, with thin and smooth meat.
The “Three Yuan” includes Golden Bamboo Shoot, red and White Radish Balls, and Mushroom Ball. The ingredients are simple, serving both as a side dish and a colorful accompaniment, achieving a perfect balance.
After the Cold Eight Dishes and Hot Eight Dishes, we move on to the main course, which is Lin Ding or “Braised Venison”. This allows for the use of leftover parts of the deer while also satisfying the quantity needed for the guests at the Feast.
There will be no shortage of people at this Feast. A single deer, still caught between being a fawn and an adult, cannot possibly satisfy everyone; a large quantity of main dishes is necessary to ensure guest satisfaction.
A Feast, beyond its lavish appearance, follows one principle: aside from tasting, the purpose of dining is to fill one’s stomach.
Flavor is important, but being Edible and filling is paramount!
