Volume 10 Chapter 23: Fried Rice Two Ways
"Are you guys fine having your farms this close to the forest?" Getting close to the farmers, Keith realized something; the issue was inside the forest. Being so close made them a threat. They would definitely be the first people to get hit.
"Oh, it's fine."
"The barrier extends over to our farms. We are usually able to evacuate before the monster has the chance to attack."
"And they haven't attacked here at all."
"...I see." Keith nodded his head as he understood the situation better. While he thought about it,
"Big brother! Play!" That was when Keith was called out by the children. Seeing how hard he had played before, they wanted to play with him as well.
"Uh-"
"Go, child." The farmers understood they had taken up much of Keith's time. That made Keith head to the field and play with the kids all day.
"Please come again!"
"Mmhmm!" Long Hao waved his hand as the group left. The farmers were quite gracious and happy about what he did. Keith basically did 100-man work by himself!
"Let's head back to the mansion now."
"Mmhmm!" With those words, Keith quickly dashed off with Long Hao to his home. And that was when Long Lihua was waiting by the door.
"Huh? Why are the two of you covered in sweat?" Keith and Long Hao's shirts were drenched in sweat. It was something. Keith smiled, "We had a lot of fun today, right?"
"Mmhmm!" Long Hao grinned widely.
"I see," Long Lihua smiled, "The two of you should go to the baths first."
"Understood." The two quickly jumped into the showers and rinsed off. Afterward, they dipped themselves into the tub.
"Ahh, this is the best," A warm bath was always the way to go after working so hard. After they got out,
"Long Hao, do you want some honey milk?" Milking after doing something hot was perfect.
"Umm!" Long Hao nodded as he took the bottle. The two sipped on the milk as they headed to the living room.
"Hah, that was incredible, right?" Keith lay down on the mats, and they were soft enough for him to do so. Surprisingly, the mats were softer than the beds.
"What did you guys do outside?" Long Aotian questioned. The two looked like little fluffy balls.
That was when Long Hao explained, "Run around! Friends!"
"So you made friends?" This was a surprise.
"Mmmhmmm! Play again!"
"I see," Long Aotian patted the child's head. A warm smile plastered on his face as he patted.
"I should prepare dinner," Keith grinned as he got up.
"Are you fine?"
"Mmhmm, I'm burning with excitement with the new ingredients I obtained!" Keith was quite excited to use them. Inside the kitchen, he knew what to make today.
Fried rice!
That was something he had ready! Overnight leftover rice was the best thing to use for fried rice. Should I make two different types of fried rice?
It was simple since he had all of the different things today. The first thing was to fry up all the ingredients. Eggs were the first thing dumped in. Soon after that were the peas and carrots. Slowly, as those cooked, the meat was tossed back in. The mixture was stirred quickly, and a colorful mixture was formed.
Rice was added. Soon, the rice was quickly flicked up and down by the wok; Keith moved at a rapid pace. Last thing to toss in was the soy sauce!
Tasty. Keith grinned. The smoked meat had really enhanced the flavors to the fullest. Finishing this, it was time for the second one.
He cracked some of the eggs into a bowl. Afterward, he tossed some rice into it and started to mix. Once that was done, Keith poured some oil onto the wok. Green onions, garlic, and ginger were thrown to give the thing aromatics. The rice-egg mixture was then thrown into the wok. Slowly, the aroma became intense.
Meat was added, and it was done.
"Alright, let's work on the other things as well." Keith couldn't forget about the other dishes. Some dishes to supplement the rice were made.
After some time, Keith had come out of the kitchen. However, that was when he realized many people were standing in the hallway.
I see. Keith shook his head, "I need help bringing all this there."
"I will help!" Long Lihua grabbed a plate from his hands. The two girls followed her as well.
"Want!" Long Hao raised his hand.
Keith said, "This might be too heavy for you." It was quite difficult for a child to carry.
"Let's go to the dining room now!" Keith pumped, and that was how all of them were brought there. It was a good meal, but Ayaka asked, "Keith, the elders wish to speak with you tomorrow."
"To deal with the issue, right?"
"Mmhmm, they're asking you to go to the thing."
"Don't wanna."
