"Umm~ it's delicious, so there's actually such a way to eat it?" Meghan's eyes lit up as soon as she put it in her mouth.

"The meat is boiled in the hot soup, and it won't stay in it for a long time. Basically, it will come out in less than 1 minute. At that time, the nutrition of the ingredients is not damaged and the taste is very unique. This is the best thing to eat."

There were still some golden maple leaves left on the branches, which were stubbornly resisting the invasion of nature's changing seasons. Lisko reached out and caught a piece of maple leaf that was spinning, carefully put it away, and planned to go back and make it as a souvenir.

The rising sun rises from the distant hilltop, and casts a golden coat on the ancient city wall, making it more quaint and mysterious. Lisko stroked the wall tiles and sighed at the high-end skills and hard work of the ancients.
