Chapter 136: Black pepper shaker

On Thanksgiving Day, after Hugo was woken up by Charlize in the morning, he staggered up to the fourth floor and called Karl, "Charlize said it will take at least seven hours to make a turkey'chicken' today. You have to start preparing.” So even if the two boys are kitchen coolies, Hugo called Karl while looking at the furnishings on the fourth floor.

The decoration of the fourth floor is simpler than that of the third floor. Not only because Joseph and Carl spend most of their time on the third floor, many of the furniture they bought are placed on the third floor; but also because there is Charlize on the third floor. This'female' student-although everyone is usually treated as a man, there is still a difference. However, there are a guitar, an electronic piano, and a set of drums in the corner of the fourth floor near the restaurant, but you can see a little difference.

"Your roommate is still not there. I strongly doubt whether you are filming'Human and Ghosts Are Coming'!" Hugo looked at the drum set and kept it clean. It can be seen that the owner always protects the drumhead. There are all kinds of graffiti painted on it, and Hugo can see skulls, totems and other styles, showing the owner's personality.

Not only drums, but many patterns are also painted on the guitar and electronic piano. The most conspicuous one is the whole red ‘colored’ western dragon on the side of the guitar, biting the piano pillow with its teeth and claws, which is very eye-catching. I just don't know if these patterns were painted by the owner himself or by professionals.

The sense of existence of the owner can be seen only from these instruments, at least indicating that this person is real, but this is becoming more and more strange. Hugo has moved here for more than half a year and has not seen this legendary roommate, nor has Charlize. I have seen it, only Alex has seen it a few times, which is really weird.

"His work and rest time are reversed from ours. You can't see it as normal." Carl is not surprised at all. "Even we don't see him at home. We can only judge from the increase and decrease of food in the refrigerator. I talked to him last time. He said that there are performances at night, and sometimes he has to go to other places to perform, so he doesn’t stay at home very often. Besides, those who study music and we are not in the same circle..."

It is because this roommate is learning music that Hugo is full of curiosity, otherwise he is just a man, even if he can’t see Hugo, he is not interested in exploring o

"Yesterday he disappeared again. It seems that he hasn't come back now. I don't know whether to spend the night outside or go home for Thanksgiving." Carl also doesn't know much about this roommate, and he can see that there is very little communication." Let's go, let's go down and help, otherwise Charlize will call downstairs again."

Hugo retracted his gaze from the instruments, turned around and went downstairs with Carl to help.

The roasted “chicken” enjoyed on Thanksgiving is very troublesome to make. It takes more than twelve hours from the defrosting to the marinating in the early stage. Charlize took out the turkey “chicken” before going to bed last night and thaw it this morning. After I got up, I started to make the sauce, and then it took a long time to spread and marinate the turkey'chicken'. By the time these processes were completed, it was already ten thirty, and this was just the beginning.

However, the three young people gathered together to make dinner while chatting. The atmosphere has always been very relaxed and warm. Compared with the embarrassing Thanksgiving day when the family gathers together, this holiday atmosphere is more enjoyable. Today, the three people agreed to each other to make a dish and then enjoy a big meal together.

This agreement was a very good idea, Hugo also agreed with both hands, but soon Hugo began to worry. In fact, if he is allowed to cook Chinese cuisine, he can still show his hands, at least he won’t be helpless, but for Western cuisine, he will have a headache. These are two completely different cooking systems.

What's even more depressing is that this is not the age of the Internet. If you don't understand, you can search for any menu. Although Hugo has gradually become accustomed to life without mobile phones and internet in the past six months, he still can't help but gritted his teeth at this moment.

In desperation, Hugo had no choice but to choose the simplest dessert. Cheese and mashed potatoes were baked. There were not too many processes. Just master the temperature and time of the oven. As long as it doesn’t burn, it’s hard to fail. . Although compared to Charlize’s roasted ‘chicken’ and Carl’s braised lamb chops with red wine, Hugo’s cooking is a bit simpler, but at least it saves Hugo a lot of trouble.

The sunset outside the window sank a little bit, and the aroma of the dishes in the restaurant began to linger under the nose. Hugo first cut a small portion of the cooked roasted chicken, and then took a portion of his own mashed potatoes. Put it on the plate and prepare to go downstairs. Charlize and Carl are standing behind with worried faces, "Hugo, are you sure you want to take it down to the old man? You know, he will never appreciate..."

"Why not?" Hugo didn't think so much, with a calm face, "Today is Thanksgiving, everyone gathers together to have a festive atmosphere. Although it is a bit impossible to invite Ernst to join us, and if he really joins I guess Uma is going to panic," Hugo also laughed self-deprecatingly, making Charlize and Carl very helpless, "but what's the problem with sharing our cooked dishes with Ernst? ?" Hugo added when he finished speaking and was about to turn around, "If your ghost roommate is here, I don't mind him joining us."

"He's not a ghost! He really exists!" Carl yelled depressedly, but Hugo didn't intend to respond, so he opened the door of the room and walked out. Carl only saw a back of Hugo and mumbled depressedly, "I must let them meet next time."

In Hugo's view, Ernst on the second floor is likely to be alone on Thanksgiving. That would be too lonely. No one would like to be alone, especially during festivals, especially old people like Ernst. So, as a neighbor, just sharing a little bit of a big meal and sharing the mood of the holidays together is nothing at all. As for Sister's bad temper, Hugo believes that a large part of it is probably due to Sister's loneliness living alone. There is nothing terrible about it.

Hugo carried the plate to the second floor and knocked on the big door of Ernst's house. The dull voice echoed in the aisle, but the answer was silence. After about thirty seconds, there was no one. In response, Hugo could only knock again, but this time before his hand left the'door' plate, he heard a nasty roar from inside, "Who!" It seems that Ernst is at home, and'Jing' 'God is very good, full of air, just don't want to care about others.

"Hugo on the third floor." Hugo said, but it was a pity that this time it fell to the ground. Obviously Ernst didn't intend to respond to him at all. Hugo could only continue to say to himself, "Today is Thanksgiving. , We made a fire "chicken". Although the craftsmanship is not very good, I am not sure whether it is delicious or not, but I still hope that we can share it together, so I brought you some..."

"Get out!" Ernst's temper was still irritable. He didn't even want to open the ‘door’, but screamed through a ‘door’, completely rejecting Hugo’s kindness from thousands of miles away.

Hugo can only sigh for the old man's bad temper, but he is obviously already mentally prepared, "I just show the kindness of being a neighbor..."

"I don't need it!" Ernst interrupted Hugo again and yelled roughly, as if saying a word to Hugo would make him miserable, "Go away! Get out of my house and get away from me." Go further!"

Hugo, who was regarded as a plague, was also helpless. This situation is not unexpected, so Hugo did not continue to insist, put the plate in the'door', and said, "Well, I know. Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving, sir!" After speaking, Hugo turned and went back to the third floor.

After waiting for the sound of the third floor'door' being closed in the aisle dissipated, it took a while before the second floor'door' opened, and Ernst's pale head came from the crack of the door. 'Lu' came out, looking at the hot scented turkey'chicken' and the roasted mashed potatoes on the ground at the entrance of the'door', after hesitating for a long time, finally opened the'door' and picked up the plate, and then slowly put it The room'door' closed.

Returning to Hugo on the third floor, he walked into the hall and greeted Charlize and Carl's questioning eyes. Hugo shrugged, "He didn't open the'door', I left the plate at the'door'."

Both Charlize and Karl showed the expressions of "I told you a long time ago", and Hugo smiled lightly, without saying anything, and changed the subject, "Next is us, Thanksgiving." Cooking a feast!" Hugo eagerly looked at the table full of dishes, eyes full of expectation, "I should really let Joseph and Alex take a look, they will definitely regret it." Hugo'dew' out A satisfied smile

Carl picked up the saw for the “door” and began to cut the “chicken”, then divided a large piece into the plate in front of Hugo, and filled Charlize and his own plate. .com Hugo can't wait to cut a small piece into his mouth, then chew it carefully. This is the first orthodox American family holiday after Hugo crossed over. Naturally, the expectation is abnormal.

Charlize looked at Hugo expectantly, and kept asking, "How, how? This is my first attempt. There should be no errors, right?"

Hugo gently coughed and coughed his throat, as if savoring whether the fire "chicken" was enough to be shortlisted, "Well..." Hugo dragged a long ending, "I think it's very good, you and Carl should also try it. Sure enough, it tastes different when you taste it yourself." There was an expression of enjoyment on his face, and he continued to chew.

Seeing the enjoyment of Hugo’s face, Carl and Charlize also hurriedly stuffed the turkey'chicken' into their mouths, but after only two bites, Charlize couldn't help being the first one and vomited directly. Carl next to him coughed violently afterwards.

After confirming that the victims had added two more, Hugo quickly picked up the water glass next to him, connected and poured a large glass of water to be relieved, and the handsome eyebrows and hairs were firmly entangled together. Charlize, did you knock over the black pepper bottle?"

"Fortunately, Ernst downstairs didn't eat..." Hugo sighed.
