At night, Nagini was busy in the kitchen.
Dinner was roast beef. He liked to pair it with some tomatoes and roast potatoes. It was a more western way of cooking. However, compared to beef, Little Tang Qing's favorite dish was the potatoes.
The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. When they were dipped in Nagini's secret garlic sauce, the taste was amazing. It was Little Tang Qing's favorite.
On the other hand, even though Najini's beef was tender and juicy, Little Tang Qing always seemed to be in low spirits every time.
A good child should not be picky about food. Only with a perfect diet could she grow up better.
His daughter liked to eat potatoes but did not like to eat meat. This made Nagini very worried, so he set a rule. She wanted to eat roast potatoes?
No problem. However, before this dish was finished, Nagini would not make a new dish because it would cause food waste.
Therefore, many times, after Little Tang Qing finished eating roast potatoes, she would have to eat roast beef with a bitter face the next day.
Regarding this, Little Tang Qing expressed her great dissatisfaction. She even protested that this was a blatant dictatorship.
Unfortunately, as the adjudicator and defendant, Nagini said that all of Little Tang Qing's protests were invalid. He even took away her right to complain.
This also led to a result. Although Little Tang Qing really wanted to eat roast potatoes, she rarely took the initiative to ask Nagini to make this family roast beef because she did not want to eat meat.
As for today, why did Little Tang Qing say that she wanted to eat family roast beef tonight?
How should he put it?
The reason was complicated …
At this moment, outside the kitchen, in the living room on the second floor of the coffee shop that outsiders were not allowed to enter, Little Tang Qing leaned in front of the television in Carol's arms and said excitedly,
"Auntie Carol, you don't know, but my dad's roast meat is really delicious. You must eat more later."
On the sofa, Carol looked surprised.
"Your dad can cook?"
Carol knew that Nagini could cook.
But was it delicious?
Carol really didn't know, but since Nagini dared to say that he would cook tonight, it shouldn't be too bad. At least from Carol's point of view, Nagini's culinary skills should be at least at the level of edible since he had a child.
Why was she surprised and even pretended not to know?
Heh heh, anyone who had such thoughts must have never seen a child before. Otherwise, he would be a straight man without a girlfriend.
Looking at the surprised look on Carol's face, Little Tang Qing revealed a proud expression.
"Of course. My dad said that the food outside is unhealthy, so I always eat his cooking."
Looking at little Tang Qing's cute expression, Carol ignored the third-rate TV drama that was playing on the TV. Instead, she pinched little Tang Qing's little face.
"Then how do you know that your father's cooking is good?
Maybe the other uncles and aunties can cook better? "
Little Tang Qing was stunned. In the face of Carol's question, she subconsciously said,
"Because I've eaten it before. The food in the surrounding shops isn't as good as the food my dad makes."
Careful analysis, detailed comparison, and through personal verification, she finally came to a conclusion.
This answer was reasonable and convincing.
In general, little Tang Qing's explanation could be given full marks.
But here came the problem. Little Tang Qing, who didn't realize that Carol was digging a hole for herself, was still proud at this moment.
A sly look flashed in Carol's eyes. "Didn't your dad not allow you to eat outside food?"
Suddenly, little Tang Qing was dumbfounded. "Uh …"
But a moment later?
Little Tang Qing pitifully acted coquettishly in Carol's arms.
"Auntie, please let me go."
On the other hand, Carol's face showed a smug look of strategizing. She raised her eyebrows lightly. "Little Tang Qing, what did you call me just now?"
How should she put it?
Little Tang Qing was indeed Nagini's daughter. She had experienced the teachings of the two old foxes of Asgard. Little Tang Qing instantly understood what Carol meant.
Her cute eyes flashed with hesitation. She said in a childish voice,
"Sister?"
A smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Carol, who was in a good mood, happily rubbed little Tang Qing's head. "Good girl. Then I won't tell your dad."
This was the charm of language.
Imagine if little Tang Qing said that Nagini's cooking was very good, and Carol directly said, "Yes, I know. Your dad's cooking is very good."
Then what?
The two of them awkwardly praised Nagini's cooking skills, or stared blankly at the third-rate TV dramas on TV?
It was not without reason that a man of steel had no girlfriend.
Language was a kind of art. In addition to expressing one's own art, one also needed to let others display their art.
But was it really so simple?
Half an hour later, dinner was ready. The place to eat was on the second floor.
Generally speaking, except for breakfast, Nagini and Tang Qing would eat at the dining table on the second floor because the second floor had a good environment, and there were entertainment areas such as TV, toys, and so on.
In addition to eating, it was also very suitable for father and daughter to have a heart-to-heart talk.
The main dish was naturally the family roast beef requested by little Tang Qing. It was accompanied by roasted potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables. There were also lettuce for eating raw, and a dozen or so pieces of Shandar's specialty staples that were similar to multi-layer pancakes.
Because the texture was soft, light, and not greasy, this kind of pancake had always been Nagini's favorite.
Looking at the extremely sumptuous dinner on the table, Carol's eyes flashed with surprise.
Roast beef seemed simple, but in fact, it was a technical job. Just like stir-fried shredded potatoes, anyone could make this dish, but who could really make it well?
Most chefs in restaurants did not dare to say that their stir-fried shredded potatoes were the best.
But the roast beef in front of her?
To be honest, from the appearance, the beef was brown on the outside and had an attractive pink on the inside. One could clearly feel that there was a lot of meat juice in the beef.
Carol felt that this plate of roast beef was more beautiful than many top chefs'. And the moment the tender and juicy beef entered her mouth?
Perhaps she had been too conservative about Nagini's cooking skills. Anyway, at this moment, the only thought in Carol's mind was that it was amazing.
Just as Carol was about to say something, little Tang Qing looked at Carol proudly.
"Sister, I'm right, right?
My dad's roast beef is really good. "
Touching little Tang Qing's head, Carol looked at Nagini with a hint of surprise.
"Your cooking skills are actually that good?"
Raising his eyebrows, Nagini's mouth could not help but curl up slightly. There was a hint of pride in his eyes.
"Maybe this is talent?"
Carol could not help but roll her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she saw little Tang Qing pick up a large piece of roast beef with a fork and put it on her plate. She said in a childish voice,
"Sister Carol, if it's delicious, eat more."
Touching little Tang Qing's little head, Carol's eyes flashed with a hint of a smile. "Little Tang Qing is so obedient."
To be honest, in the face of such an obedient little Tang Qing.
For a moment, Carol even wondered if she should give birth to a daughter. After all, little Tang Qing was too obedient and so cute.
However, as soon as this thought appeared, Carol violently strangled it to death.
If she wanted to have a baby, she first had to have a boyfriend. However, the problem was that she had been single for more than ten years. This was a very sad topic.
Moreover, it was easy to have a baby, but not easy to raise a baby. This was because it was a kind of responsibility. Carol was not sure if she was ready to accept this responsibility.
Moreover, even if she really found her other half and was prepared, she might not give birth to a little angel like little Tang Qing.
Therefore, children were more fun to have other people's children.
As for Nagini?
Looking at the little devil who had once again successfully stolen Carol's roast potato from the roasting pan, he wanted to remind Carol. However, looking at this harmonious scene in front of him, he decided not to.
In the end, Nagini gave up.
He could only glare fiercely at little Tang Qing.
However, it was obvious that Nagini had failed.
It could not be helped. In front of delicious food, especially food that he liked to eat, even if Nagini had his father's dignified talent, it was difficult to achieve results.
However, the most important thing was that all of this was the result of little Tang Qing's careful planning.
Although Nagini had failed, little Tang Qing's behavior had received high praise from his father.
After dinner, Carol touched her slightly bulging belly and a trace of embarrassment flashed in her eyes. She had only intended to eat a little, but she did not expect Nagini's roast meat to be so delicious that she accidentally ate too much.
Moreover, most of the roast beef she ate was given to her by little Tang Qing.
When she thought of her "threat" to little Tang Qing, Carol felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart.
On the other hand, under Nagini's threatening gaze, little Tang Qing finally managed to eat her first steak after eating the sixth potato.
Didn't they say that roast beef was not delicious? Didn't they see that Carol was amazed?
But there was no other way. The roast potato with garlic chili sauce was too fragrant.
After dinner, Carol held little Tang Qing and watched TV. As for Nagini?
Her father had become a tool. He cooked, washed the dishes, and wiped the floor and washed the clothes.
However, it seemed that except for cooking, everything in the house was automated?
Just like that, until the evening, before little Tang Qing went to bed, Carol finally decided what gift she would give her. It was an egg, an Easter egg.
Because when she chatted with little Tang Qing before, Carol knew that she also had a name called Qitong, which represented the Goddess of Spring in Asgard.
The original symbolic meaning of Easter eggs was spring — the beginning of all life.
The one Carol gave little Tang Qing was obviously different from the Easter eggs on the market. Her one should be exquisite. If Nagini was not mistaken?
It should be a Fabergé egg made by Peter Carl Fabergé.
It was about ten centimeters tall, and the overall shape was like an egg. There was a layer of green metal vines on the surface, and pink pearls were inlaid in the gaps of the vines.
It looked very delicate and beautiful, like a pink girl's dream wrapped in vines.
To be honest, Nagini did not know why Carol gave this Easter egg to little Tang Qing.
It was not a matter of whether it was valuable or not. Except for Earth, no one in the Milky Way celebrated Easter. In fact, even on Earth, more than half of the people did not celebrate Easter.
So this Easter egg, other than being beautiful, did not have much value.
The reason why Nagini did not understand was that this Easter egg had been with Carol for a long time and should have a special meaning to her.
But he did not know what was wrong with Carol, and she actually gave this egg to little Tang Qing.
Nagini felt that this scene was inexplicably familiar.
It seemed that back in Asgard, Queen Frigga had done something similar and had given Little Tang Qing a Valkyrie sword.
Speaking of which, were these women crazy?
Maternal instinct overflowing?
Nagini expressed that he could not understand.
