Chapter 70 It is recommended to drink more to help growth (please subscribe)
I bought a lot of ingredients this time.
On the carriage.
Lux looked at the vegetables, meat, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments in the bag, and asked seriously: "Are you sure these ice creams will be delicious?"
Lu Qi replied seriously: "Don't worry, it will be delicious."
But even Lux could see it.
This guy must have taken the opportunity to buy his food for the next few days.
And she’s the one footing the bill!
Lux was already regretting her impulsiveness.
In Lu Qi's heart, he was very proud of the few days of food he had obtained for free.
Returned home soon.
The time at this time should be around five o'clock in the afternoon, it was not yet evening, and at first glance the road was still wide and bright.
When I got off the car, I happened to meet Fiona walking this way.
Wearing a minimalist black and white outfit, she looked extremely cool, and her delicate face was as cold as a flower on a snow-capped mountain.
"Good afternoon, Miss Laurent."
Lu Qi saw this and said hello.
These past few days, I have been going to the library at noon, and my relationship with Fiona is no longer as irritating as before.
"Hello Miss Laurent!"
Lux also greeted warmly.
Fiona knew from the looks of the two of them that they had just come back from outside, so she nodded lightly and said, "Good afternoon."
Immediately, Lu Qi asked: "Looking for me?"
He felt that the possibility of meeting Fiona by chance at his door was low, as she seemed to have come specially for her.
Sure enough, Fiona nodded again after hearing this: "Yeah."
Lu Qi said: "Then go in and sit down first."
He opened the door and welcomed the person in.
Lu Qi asked Urna to serve him first, because making ice cream requires several steps to prepare, and it also needs to be frozen afterwards, so it is best not to waste time.
He first came to the basement of the big villa. According to Yourna, there was a small icehouse here, but he had never seen it before.
There was a coolness in the basement. After walking a few steps, I saw a small door that was half a person tall. The material of the small door was different from the surrounding walls.
An ice room like this is a common means for nobles to escape the heat. It can make ice cubes and refrigerate food. It is considered a good refrigerator.
In ancient times, people used saltpeter to make ice.
The efficiency is slow, so ice cubes are a luxury item in summer.
But this is Runeterra, and the method of making ice is very different.
Lu Qi opened the small door, and a chill immediately hit his face. There was an icy frost inside, and this refrigerator was made of another material.
It is said that it is made from the characteristics of a material in Freljord called "ice stone". This stone freezes when exposed to water and maintains a low temperature all year round, which is very magical.
It is not common in Freljord, but the weather there is cold all year round, and some tribes will specifically look for ice stones.
Every summer, they would go to the border of Demacia to trade with them.
Usually you get a decent reward.
"Not bad, no problem."
Lu Qi put his hand in and checked the temperature. The closer he got inside, the lower the temperature became.
It's cold outside.
Lux, who was following behind, couldn't help but ask: "Is this enough?"
"Of course, the first requirement for ice cream is ice."
Lu Qi nodded and answered.
"oh."
Lux didn't ask any more questions.
Back upstairs, Lu Qi waved and called Yourna over.
Looking at the maid in front of him who was waiting for his order, Lu Qi said: "I will only demonstrate the next operation once, you must remember it well."
Hearing this, Yourna nodded seriously.
Finally, with Lux's expectation, Lu Qi started the process of making ice cream.
There are many things to relieve the summer heat in Demacia, such as Sushan, which is similar to ancient times, but the workmanship is very simple.
There are also ice cubes that are ground into smoothies and topped with a layer of juice.
Or you can puree the fruit into juice, freeze it and enjoy it later.
These are common ways to relieve the heat, but it is precisely because of this that the ice cream is quite extraordinary.
Ordinary ice cream making is actually very simple. Just complete a few steps in sequence. First, heat the milk, milk powder, corn starch, white sugar and a little salt, mix and stir until it becomes thick.
Then it's boiled over fire and finally frozen.
But Lu Qi, who has LV6 cooking skills, naturally has many new tricks. In order to increase the taste of ice cream, he specially bought a variety of ingredients.
Fiona sat on the sofa and looked at the three people who were very busy in front and back, with some confusion in her eyes.
Don't know what they are doing.
He also looked at it with some curiosity.
After working for a while, Lux gave up first. There were too many steps and she couldn't remember them clearly.
So prepare to enjoy the final result directly.
He walked to the living room and sat across from Fiona.
At this time, the temperature of the tea You Erna brewed was just right.
Fiona picked up the tea cup, blew it gently, and then took a sip. Her blue eyes suddenly lit up.
"This tea is very good."
She took another sip, savoring it carefully this time.
This tea no longer seemed to be very good. It was no exaggeration to say that she suddenly felt that the tea she had drunk before was completely incomparable to it.
Her heart couldn't help but gradually calm down, and a thin warm current seemed to surround her whole body. The fatigue of these days was gradually dissipating, and she suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.
"Does it taste good?"
Seeing that Fiona seemed to have a high opinion of the tea, Lux picked up the cup and took a sip out of curiosity.
After tasting it, he nodded: "Well, it should taste good."
She can't tell whether tea tastes good or not. In her opinion, most tea leaves seem to taste the same.
She doesn't particularly like it, so Lux doesn't see the value of this cup of tea.
If possible, she would like to exchange this cup of tea for a cup of juice.
Seeing this, Fiona's eyes flashed with a smile and she said, "I suggest drinking more to help with growth."
As she spoke, she inadvertently glanced over Miss Crown Guard's flat chest.
And just as she was speaking, Lux's eyes fell on her chest.
Suddenly, Miss Crown Guard felt offended.
The next second, he directly picked up the tea cup, raised his head and drank it all in a few sips.
Lu Qi, who was passing by, was stunned.
Is this how he drinks camellia today?
Holding back the complaints in his heart, he turned around and continued working.
The process of making ice cream is actually not much, but it took nearly an hour. It wasn't until a sweet smell wafted out of the kitchen that it really attracted the attention of the two people in the living room.
Fiona was curious and looked towards the kitchen.
Lux was looking forward to it again.
The taste doesn’t lie, it’s already so fragrant, it definitely won’t taste bad!
Lu Qi carried the finished ice cream and put it in the basement icehouse to freeze before returning upstairs.
"I kept you waiting for a long time."
Sitting on the sofa, Lu Qi took a couple of sips of the already cold tea and said, "I'll probably wait another hour."
Hearing this, Fiona asked: "What are you doing?"
"Ice cream." Lu Qi smiled, "It's delicious. You'll know when you try it later."
Regarding this, Fiona was not polite at all, and took a sip of the hot tea she served: "Then I will be disrespectful."
"I didn't have time to ask just now, why did you come to see me?"
Only then did Lu Qi ask Fiona why she came.
There is nothing we can do about leaving people hanging here for nearly an hour.
"Actually, it's not that important." Fiona smiled lightly, "I just want to ask you, have you been practicing swordsmanship recently?"
Faced with this question, Lu Qi thought for a while and replied: "Maybe."
"There should be, right?"
Fiona repeated slightly confused.
"I occasionally practice in outdoor classes every day, and I also teach Lux a few tricks."
Lu Qi explained.
Lux nodded cooperatively.
"." After a second of silence, Fiona frowned slightly, "Just practice that little time every day. Will there be any progress?"
In her opinion, Lu Qi was just wasting his talent.
The reason why I couldn't help but come here today was because I saw Lu Qi running around with the blonde girl like a slut all day long in the academy.
If the swordsmanship he learned were applied to any swordsman, that person would probably practice it day and night, hoping to one day become a top swordsman.
But after several days of observation, Fiona almost never saw Lu Qi practicing sword skills.
So, she came directly to the door.
If Lu Qi's swordsmanship did not improve, it would be a loss for her.
Like in the previous training camp, there was basically no one who was Fiona's opponent. If she couldn't fight with the strong, her strength would no longer improve.
Later, only Lu Qi's swordsmanship could make her shine.
And on that day, an idea came to Fiona's mind.
Letting Lu Qi grow to a level where he can truly compete with her might allow her to achieve new breakthroughs.
But until now, the Lu Qi that Fiona saw was either fishing or paddling, and he didn't look like he was practicing seriously.
Of course, there are many swordsmen in the royal capital who are stronger than her, but those swordsmen, with Fiona's current status, cannot openly challenge them.
Lu Qi saw those cold eyes falling on him.
For some reason, he always felt like a teacher came to check his homework.
After thinking about it, Lu Qi sighed: "Actually, I also work hard silently in places that others can't see."
Yourna listened quietly and said nothing.
By trying hard, do you mean trying to sleep?
Fiona didn't really believe it either. She stood up and said, "Come to the courtyard to discuss."
Lu Qi didn't refuse. They had nothing to do, so they got up together and went to the front yard.
Keep protective gear and weapons at home.
Not long after, the two men stood facing each other with weapons in hand.
Lacus, on the other hand, sat on the stairs at the door with her hands on her chin and began to watch the battle.
"Still the same."
Fiona said, raising the sharp blade in her hand, her whole body looking extremely cold and arrogant.
Lu Qi drew out his long blade, gathered all the wind energy in his body, and attacked directly.
The speed was a bit faster than usual, and in just a blink of an eye, the long blade had already slashed out.
Bang!
The weapons collided with a crisp sound, and Fiona's expression changed just after the first attack.
She raised her eyes to look at Lu Qi, who was attacking. She suppressed her strength and resisted Lu Qi's attack. At this time, she actually felt a lot of pressure.
This offensive is not even a bit stronger than last time.
Fiona could clearly feel from these sword moves that this sword technique had reached the stage of transformation, as if this was the real beginning of this sword technique.
Is it possible that this guy is really secretly working hard behind the scenes?
Otherwise the current situation cannot be explained.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Qi slashed out with his sword a few more times. After blocking, Fiona slowly suppressed the surprise in her heart and began to counterattack.
The result of the final discussion was that Lu Qi naturally lost.
After all, Fiona suppressed her strength and would not lose no matter what.
Fiona looked at Lu Qi at this time and said, "You have made great progress. Your swordsmanship has taken shape."
There were no big flaws in each move, which made her look forward to the battle when Lu Qi grew up to be the same strength as her.
In a few days, the strength gap between Lu Qi and her had shrunk by another big step.
I have to admit that his talent is extremely rare.
"Looks like I didn't disappoint you."
Lu Qi smiled and sighed that Sword Girl was still very powerful.
I just don’t know where her strength is now.
If we calculate the timeline, Fiona should still be in the growth stage at this time.
Her own strength was obtained through cheating, but Fiona really developed it step by step.
He admired such strong-willed people.
After that, they sparred for a few more times, and then returned to the living room when it was almost dark.
"It should just wait another twenty minutes."
Lu Qi didn't pay attention to the specific time, but he could estimate it based on his feeling.
He picked up the newly added hot tea and took a sip.
Suddenly, two system prompts popped up.
[Congratulations on increasing the host qualification by 1]
[Congratulations to the host for his breakthrough in qualifications and outstanding talent]
Lu Qi raised his eyes and glanced, and his qualifications broke through again.
Now he seems to have some talent. I remember that he only had a mediocre talent at the beginning.
As before, nothing special.
However, today's mountain tea is really effective. After just drinking a few cups, it has improved a lot. It is more precious than some rare treasures. It is indeed the best treasure tea.
Watching Lux drink another drink, Lu Qi smiled helplessly.
This is called wasting natural resources.
But he didn't care. Tea itself is for people to drink, so it doesn't matter how you drink it.
Fiona, on the other hand, was quietly sipping tea, looking dignified and elegant, but her heart was not at all peaceful.
It wasn't until this moment that she truly realized how extraordinary this tea was.
When a person's strength reaches a certain level, there will be an obvious sense of bottleneck.
Fiona has had this bottleneck feeling for a long time, but now, after drinking two cups of tea, she felt a little loose.
She couldn't help but look up at Lu Qi opposite.
Lu Qi noticed Fiona who was hesitant to speak, smiled and said: "I know what you want to say, is this tea good?"
Fiona nodded slightly.
What she cares more about is that this precious tea is just given to her to drink. Is it really okay?
