Chapter 2: Barbecue Fried Rice

Today, I still opened the door as usual, and by the way, I picked up the "Luolan Daily" placed at the door, and then returned to the store, made a pot of tea, and read the newspaper. This is Chen Mo's daily routine early in the morning.

When flipping through the newspaper, Chen Mo usually chooses to look at the headlines on the page first, which is the largest big-character headline in the newspaper. Because what can be used as a headline must be a major event that happened in the city, and the authenticity is also high.

And those small print headlines are purely for entertainment.

Huh?

Chen Mo suddenly found that the title on this page seemed to be different from his usual style.

It reads, "The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang died unexpectedly!! But it's red, and under normal circumstances, such a title means that what happens will have a greater impact on Loland City.

Wild Wolf Gang?What a familiar name?

Oh, by the way, didn't those gangsters who came to make trouble yesterday call themselves the Wolf Gang?

This made Chen Mo feel a little curious. This gang has also heard of it, and it is a giant in Xicheng District, but yesterday was the first time since Chen Mo finished "educating" the various forces in the city that someone came to the door to ask for "protection money".

Looking at the headline now, it seems that something happened to the gang. It stands to reason that the forces within the gang will also be reshuffled, right? It is no wonder that a few thugs dare to come to him to collect "fees."

It depends on whether those people can remember it for a long time after they go back.

And just when Chen Mo was going to continue to see what was going on.

"Jingle Bells"

The bell rang on the door.

Well?

To be honest, there are really not many people who come back to the store so early.

Putting down the newspaper, Chen Mo looked towards the door.

"Welcome.... ”

This is a strange and strange guest.

The boy in a gray linen coat and a hood had a slightly chaotic breath and a somewhat panicked expression.

However, Chen Mo was only slightly surprised by the state of the guest, and he was not surprised or curious.

Since you have come to your own store, you are all customers. He put away his surprise, showed a very natural smile, and looked at the little boy: "Hello, guest, do you need anything?"

The little boy raised his head, looked at Chen Mo, looked around again, and confirmed that this was an "ordinary tavern", so he took off his hood, calmed his breath, and then pointed to the menu on the wall, ordered a random one, and said, "A barbecue...... Fried rice? hmm...... No spicy, thanks. So he found a seat and sat down.

"Okay, wait a minute. Until then, though. Chen Mo poured a glass of water and handed it to the little boy, "Let's drink some water first." ”

"Well, thank you. ”

The voice was childish, and it seemed that he was still a child. This reminded Chen Mo of Linna, who should be the same age as this young man.

When Chen Mo saw that the little boy had drunk water, he turned around and turned on the stove and started frying rice.

Barbecue fried rice is actually relatively easy, almost no difficulty, the only point is that the fire must be big, and the fried rice will be fragrant on high heat.

And the ingredients are relatively simple, the stir-fried meat is a roast beef cut into thin slices, which has been processed before, and it is just taken out of the refrigerator, and the rice is also an ordinary overnight meal.

Pour oil over the pan, then add oil to heat and pour rice, at this time, you can add some more oil and stir-fry .......

"Do guests eat salty?"

After taking a sip of water, the little boy replied a little shyly, "No, a normal amount will do." ”

"Okay. ”

Then add salt, a small amount of soy sauce, and finally pour the barbecue into it, drizzle the barbecue gravy, and you're done.

"Please take your time. ”

"Well, thank you. ”

Looking at the unique style of fried rice in front of her, Natila was a little apprehensive in her heart, raised her head, and looked at Chen Mo with a little doubt in her eyes.

Looking at the little boy's puzzled eyes, Chen Mo smiled, "Don't worry, it's delicious." ”

Although he was wary of this strangely colored "fried rice" in his heart, the aroma that poured up from the fried rice was constantly tempting the gluttonous worms in his stomach.

Picking up the spoon on the table, Natila began to try this food that she had never seen before. On the first bite, Natila was overcome by the taste of this food called "fried rice", her eyes lit up, and she began to gobble it up.

Looking at Natila's appearance, Chen Mo hurriedly persuaded: "Slow down, slow down, don't choke." ”

This fried rice is actually a new food added to the menu by Chen Mo, mainly because the preparation of this ingredient is not simple.

However, seeing that someone can like the fried rice they make, Chen Mo is also very happy in his heart.

While eating, Natila asked, "Well, boss, are you ...... What's in it called "fried rice"?"

"Oh, this one, secret. Chen Mo smiled mysteriously.

It uses a seasoning that is not found in this world: soy sauce, which is Chen Mo's "hometown specialty".

Soon, Natila finished the bowl of fried rice and burped contentedly, completely losing the panic she had when she first entered the store.

Realizing that she seemed to be a little rude, Natila coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment. So he asked, "Boss, how much?"

On the other side, Chen Mo was looking at the newspaper. After hearing Natila's inquiry, he held out five fingers.

"Five silver coins?"

"No, five copper coins. ”

......

After giving the money, Natila hurried away again, just as he had come in a hurry. Maybe it's urgent, right?

At the figure of Natilla leaving in a hurry, Chen Mo shook his head.

"It's better not to exercise vigorously when you've just eaten a full meal. ”

......

Then I picked up the newspaper I had read again, continued to read the newspaper, drank tea and .......

Since then, there have been no guests in the tavern.

It wasn't until noon that the tavern door was pushed open. It was Grayles and Lena who came.

But the difference from yesterday is that today's Lina has put on the guard's costume (ladies'), which looks more heroic, but it suits her quite well.

And Grellers replaced the original big sword with a standard long sword, but it still has the temperament of that rough man, phew!

"Good afternoon, manager. ”

Lina is really full of energy.

Although I'm not Lolita, but having such a girl greet me so warmly will make my mood better.

He responded, "Well, good afternoon, do you want something to eat?"

Grelles found a place to sit, sat down naturally, and said, "Have a cup of wheat...... Belch. When he suddenly realized that he was about to spit out the word "ale" subconsciously, he instantly changed his words and said, "A glass of cereal, milk...... Oats, yes, milk oats! And an egg, well, thanks. ”

Hey, I didn't ask you!

Linna: "Give me a bizarre trip, a sandwich, thank you." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. ”

And just as Chen Mo was preparing the ingredients, Graylers and Lina also started chatting.

"How it feels, Guards live. Grelles asked.

"It's funny, it's a lot of fun to listen to, but it's still a little tiring. As he spoke, he was already lying on the table.

"Uh...... In fact, the work of the guards is quite easy. However, I don't know if it's your luck or what's wrong, it happened to run into a gang split, and the pressure on public security in Xicheng District instantly increased a lot, and the workload was greater. Greiles explained.

“?”

And Chen Mo also heard it, so he pointed to the newspaper on the table and said, "You mean that?"

Grellers looked in the direction Chen Mo pointed, picked up the newspaper, and saw the news in the newspaper at a glance that "the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang died unexpectedly!", and after a cursory reading, he nodded.

"Yes. However, there is one thing that is not mentioned above, although the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang was assassinated, but his son seems to have escaped, and his whereabouts are still unknown, and now both the Wild Wolf Gang and the Guards are looking for him. ”

"Oh? Why?"

If he dies, the heir of the Wolves will be re-elected from the Elders' Council, and if he doesn't, he will succeed his father as the leader." ”

Somehow, Chen Mo somehow suddenly thought of the little boy who ordered fried rice this morning....... Forget it, there is no such coincidence in the world.

So he asked, "Do you have any news now?"

Grelles shook his head: "No, this kid is hiding quite deeply, someone should be helping him." But exposure is a matter of time...... What's the matter? Are you interested?"

Chen Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "How could it be?" ”

Grereus nodded: "That's right, your character probably doesn't bother to care so much." But it's actually quite troublesome. The official dare not look for it on the bright side, but it can't let people with intentions take advantage of it. As for the reason...... You know. ”

Chen Mo nodded.

On the official side, they still hope that the situation will be stable, because the new family of people will become the gang leaders, which will inevitably cause turmoil, which the government does not want to see. However, if it is found on the surface, it will be attacked by various forces, and the government may even lose its "neutral" position .......

So, ah, a conflict of interest...... What a nuisance stuff.

"Here, you ask for milk, oats, eggs. And yours, juices and sandwiches. ”

"Thank you. ”

......

"Hiccup~ I'm full. ”

Greiles turned his head, looked at Linna, frowned, and said, "You're full so soon, there's still a lot of work to do in the afternoon, and it's hard to feel good if you don't eat enough." ”

After speaking, he also pointed to his large portion of oats and a table of eggshells.

(Greiles: It was supposed to be ale with roast...... )

Seeing this, Lina directly gave a roll of her eyes.

"I'm not you. ”

......

At this time, in a B&B in the West Block.

"Where have you been?"

An old man was looking at Natila, who had just returned from outside, with a slight anger on his face. It can be seen that the old man was very dissatisfied with Natila's behavior this time.

Natila, on the other hand, bowed her head and said, "I just wanted to go out for a walk and have a meal in a tavern...... ”

As he spoke, he raised his head again and argued for himself: "But I am walking in a remote alley, and the tavern is also a tavern with no name in the depths of the alley!"

"You ......! you underestimate Monta's methods!" the old man was even more angry at the hearing of Natila's argument.

Although going out this time did not attract pursuers, it does not mean that it will not be every time, in this situation, going out rashly will only do more harm than good!

"But I just want to go out for a walk, it's so boring to be in my room all the time! and...... And why do we have to be afraid of Monta? Isn't there anything else in the Senate that will do justice to me...... Right?"

"Heh, they're just a bunch of white-eyed wolves for profit! Forget it, tell me which tavern you've been to. ”

"I don't know, that shop doesn't have a name, but the fried rice is still delicious! The manager is a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes, and then ....... Natila replied honestly.

"Oh, really?"

"Yes. Natila nodded.

"Hmm. The old man couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Then he said, "Okay, just pay attention next time." Okay, you go down and have a good rest. ”

After watching Natilla walk out of the room, the old man turned to look out the window, and a glimmer of light gradually rose in his originally cloudy eyes.

"Xicheng District, a remote geographical location, a middle-aged man with black hair and black eyes. Oh, that's funny. ”
