After a quiet sigh of reflection,
Cui Ciyou took that homesickness born of another world
and quietly tucked it back into the depths of his heart.
Instead, with an almost sociologist-like eye,
he began analyzing the unique food culture before him with keen interest.
How fascinating.
We're all Humanfolk, yet the Dragon King Kingdom's eating habits are so different from those of Asura and Millis.
Cui Ciyou picked up a crisp green vegetable that had been stir-fried over high heat and put it in his mouth.
That familiar wok aroma, produced the instant oil met a scorching iron pan,
mingled with the toasted fragrance of minced garlic and brought Cui Ciyou's taste buds to life.
Asura and Millis favor stewing, roasting, and pan-frying.
They focus on the ingredients' natural flavors and layers of spices, much like Western cuisine in my previous life.
The Dragon King Kingdom, on the other hand, has clearly developed stir-frying, which relies much more on heat control and technique.
Their seasoning also places more emphasis on the complexity and balance of sauces...
And bread is the staple food in both Millis and Asura.
But the Dragon King Kingdom actually has rice and noodles.
And... chopsticks. How amazing.
If they also had stuffed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, and soy milk...
That would make it even better.
"Hey, Ciyou, why are you just looking instead of eating?"
Alice's mouth was stuffed with roast meat, her cheeks bulging.
She asked indistinctly,
"Try this! These things called 'Dragon-Beard Noodles' are so slippery and delicious!"
Cui Ciyou smiled and followed Alice's example.
He lifted a chopstickful from a large bowl of steaming noodle soup.
The noodles were as fine as hair, yet each strand remained distinct.
They gleamed invitingly under the light, springy and firm.
