Zog stretched and woke up in his warm dragon's nest.
He'd personally tested it: Feathered Serpent fur was much fluffier than Chimera fur.
Assistant Zor delivered breakfast on time. Even though it was noon, Zog willfully declared that the first meal of the day was always breakfast.
The meal was a steamer basket of lamb shumai.
The Druids had developed a type of flower whose petals could be used as a spice. It had a numbing taste.
Though it wasn't a true peppercorn, at Zog's strong suggestion, it was now called the "flower pepper."
Lamb filling, scallions and ginger, flower pepper water, salt, and home-brewed soy sauce were mixed evenly with bone broth. Then, a bit of cooking oil was added to seal in the moisture. Finally, the mixture was wrapped in dough skins rolled into the shape of lotus leaves and steamed to perfection.
Too bad it was missing a little MSG.
