"Holy, what's this?"

Marisa exclaimed as she chewed on the food in her mouth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"It's just a normal bowl of sashimi rice. The owner of the hotel, the crumpled old man, said with a smile.

"This can't be!" Marisa exclaimed as she scooped a large spoonful of meat and rice, stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it twice, "It's not like I haven't eaten sashimi rice, how can it taste like this!"

"Hehe, that's what my 'Ota Special Crystal Sashimi Rice' tastes like!"

"What? crystal sashimi rice?"

Marisa took a closer look at the bowl a few more times, and sure enough, underneath the thick fillet, between the plump grains of rice, she found some small red balls that were crystal clear.

"Crystal, what is this?" she picked up a handful of rice mixed with red balls with her chopsticks and gave the old man a puzzled look.

"Yes, that's it, that's the key to this bowl of rice!" the old man slapped the table and explained excitedly, "Don't underestimate it, this is the final battle caviar Mark-III that I have developed after 30 years of painstaking research!

When he said this, his eyes lit up, and he looked like a child who had scored a perfect score on an exam.

When Marisa heard this, she quickly picked up the soy sauce bottle she had at hand, sprinkled it in her rice bowl, and then sent a large spoonful of rice to her mouth. Unexpectedly, as soon as she ate this meal, her eyes became moist.

"Hey, how is it, little girl?" asked the old man with a smile.

"Delicious!"

Marisa wiped away a handful of tears and began to gobble it up. Although she has never been a person who pays attention to personal image, but at this moment, this picture of eating, in terms of ugliness, can be regarded as the peak.

"Cut, fuss guy ......"

Reimu glared disdainfully at the black-and-white witch beside her, who had been drained by the food and couldn't help herself, and then moved her gaze back to the soup bowl in front of her.

"There's no way I'm going to be as vulgar as Marisa. She was sure of it until the chopsticks of noodles melted into her taste buds.

Then her image collapsed.

"Hmm...... This...... What is this?"

In addition to the shock, her right hand was not idle for a moment. As if by magic, the pair of chopsticks kept pouring noodles and eel pieces into her mouth, and she couldn't stop trying to.

"Hmm...... As you can see, little girl, this is just a regular bowl of eel ramen. ”

"Liar!" Reimu exclaimed excitedly, swallowing a large mouthful of noodles, "This taste...... How can this taste be ordinary eel ramen, do you think I'll believe it?"

"Well, at least for me, this bowl of noodles is really ordinary. It's just a recipe that has been used since my master's generation, and the taste hasn't changed since its birth, so it's not special. ”

After finishing speaking, the old man's face suddenly changed, and he said mysteriously:

"A little reminder, if you eat this noodle with soup, there will be a surprise!"

"What? Why didn't you say something so important earlier!"

Reimu quickly picked up the bowl and gulped down the ramen as she gulped down the soup. When she put down the bowl, she was already in tears, and her virtue was no better than Marisa's.

"Delicious...... It's so delicious!hiss...... It's great to be born into this world. ”

So she ate ramen with a handful of snot and tears, crying while eating, wiping her tears while crying, and continuing to eat after wiping it off.

"Hehe, it's delicious, isn't it?" the old man looked at Reimu, who had eaten all his face, and said with a smile, "My master told me that soup is the soul of noodles. Of course, the charcoal-grilled eel and the dough rolling are also very important, but in the end, it is decided whether this bowl of noodles is excellent or not, and sure enough, it is still soup!"

"You two...... Hey......"

Alice squinted at Reimu and Marisa, who were sitting on her left, and shook her head - those two wild girls usually don't have a positive face, and it is convincing to be able to eat like this after a meal, and of course she will not be able to ......

"Why is it so delicious?"

According to later statistics, her beautiful image only lasted less than five seconds.

"Well...... old man pinched his chin and said, "it's just an ordinary golden hash brown." ”

"I read a lot, don't try to lie to me!" Alice yelled as she split the hash browns in half with her chopsticks, "Look, what is this?"

I saw that in the broken potato cake, a milky white thick soup slowly flowed out, and a rich milky flavor also spread.

"Well...... The outside layer is hash browns, yes, but the contents inside...... It's the old man's special ......."

"Okay, stop!" Alice hurriedly made a pause gesture, "please let me taste this wonderful soup for myself!"

"Hehe, then it's hard for you, little girl!"

The old man smiled and pestled on the bar, looking at the three girls feasting, and then turned his head to Eryan Yizang, who had been smiling but not saying a word, just sitting alone and drinking alone, and asked:

"I said, Lord Eryan, why don't you have some snacks?"

Yuzang raised the small flask and shook it from side to side twice, which was a sign of refusal, and then said:

"The old man is the host, and it would be too embarrassing to eat like them. ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately became happy, and nodded his head one after another:

"If it suits your appetite, my fifty-two years of cooking can be regarded as not in vain!"

"Haha, don't say that!" Yuzang pinched the wine glass in one hand, waved it a few times with the other, and said with a smile, "The old decay is just a while in the old times, where can I stand your kind of praise!"

"That's not possible, among the 1,200 families on Sado Island, which ancestor hasn't received your kindness? Even if we can't repay the favor, at least we have to express our gratitude in attitude, right?"

"Hey, you guys......"

He didn't know what to say, so he took another sip of wine. By this time, Marisa, who was the first to start, had already wiped out a large bowl of sashimi rice. I saw her wipe her mouth, pick up the empty bowl and smack it on the table, and said loudly:

"One more bowl!"

Immediately after, Reimu also drank the last sip of soup, wiped the oil stains and tears from his face with one sleeve, snorted his nose, and shouted:

"I'll have another bowl too!"

Then Alice, who had eaten the last bite and didn't understand the ingredients of the soup, pushed the plate forward, wiped her mouth with a napkin, and said:

"Please be sure to tell me how to make this hash brown!"

"Okay, okay!" the old man agreed, picked up the dishes, turned around and walked into the back room, "Don't be impatient, the second bowl will be here soon!"

(b)

Later, Marisa and Reimu each made a large bowl of ginseng rice and eel ramen, and they both ate them, and spread them out on their seats with their stomachs covered, not wanting to move again.

Alice, on the other hand, only ate the first two hash browns, and the biggest takeaway from her meal was the small note with the recipe for the soup in her hand.

Eryan Yizang made two more pots of wine, and after drinking it, his cheeks were red and he was slightly drunk.

"Hiccup, this meal, yes. Marisa burped and patted her bulging belly.

"No, it's quite possible. Reimu gave the old master a thumbs up and said, "Grandpa, you are amazing, I'm Boli Reimu...... Convinced. ”

"Uh-huh, it's really amazing!" Alice nodded in conviction, "Such a recipe, even in the magic ...... It is never recorded in our secret recipes. ”

"Haha, of course. The old man was not modest at all, and boasted with a smile, "The dishes here, except for those handed down by the ancestors, are all made up by myself." This is the only one that can make this taste, and after this village, there is no such shop!"

"Speaking of which, I happen to have a little doubt here, and I want to ask for advice like the three of you. He touched the stubble on his chin and began to look at the three girls carefully, "You three, you don't look like ordinary people." ”

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Marisa Kiriyu, an ordinary ...... Woo....... Woo......"

"I'm Hakurei Reimu, the thirteenth generation of Hakurei Shrine ......"

Alice covered her mouth with one hand and smiled awkwardly:

"Ahaha, the two of them have read too many novels, and they are a little stunned, please don't care. By the way, my name is Alice Margot Royd, and I'm a travel writer. ”

"Huh, is that so?"

The old man was suspicious of this, but Eryan Yizang, who was sitting in front of him, had no scruples, and directly told the truth:

"Don't listen to her nonsense, they are two witches and a witch, they are all genuine, or they will not be old and invite them all the way over. ”

"Hmm...... No wonder......"

When the old man heard this, he neither panicked nor looked particularly surprised, but nodded thoughtfully. Alice's eyes widened, and she looked at Yuzang with a shocked expression, and said:

"Asamizo, you are ......"

"The old decay is called Eryan Yizang, you octopus!"

A brain crash bounced on Alice's forehead, who quickly let go of his hands on both mouths and covered his forehead.

"Hah...... It's alive......"

"Alice, you're going to murder!"

The two of them were dissatisfied with Alice's brutal behavior, but they didn't dwell on it, but turned their heads to look at Eryan Yizang together, and said:

"I said, "Izang, you're not doing that, are you?"

"That's it, I heard Pache say that if she calls herself a witch in the outside world, she will be tied up and burned to death!"

"Stupid Marisa, how can that custom exist!"

"But Pache told me......"

Well, at least the first two sentences are really serious.

"Poof...... Hahahaha......" Eryan Yuzang couldn't help laughing when he saw the stupid looks of the two of them, and then slammed the wine glass on the table, and said loudly through the crisp sound:

"What's wrong with the witch? Is it strange? Do you have to hide it? At this point, the old decay will no longer hide it from you, let's open the skylight and say something. Yes, all of our aborigines on Sado Island are tanuki!"

"At least, they were all ......"

The last sentence added, the volume was so low that Reimu and his party didn't hear it at all. The sentence "all of them are raccoon cats" alone shocked them, and they were stunned with their big mouths open, not knowing what to say.
