"What kind of monster is this, I've never seen it before. "As a mage, Sauron could sense the faint elemental fluctuations on Chikhu's body, and certainly wouldn't mistake him for a flying squirrel like Anne.

However, this fluctuation is too weak, the rank is definitely not high, don't think about the lethality, as a gimmick for pets is not bad.

"It's not Warcraft, it's the Titan Relic. Richard said with a serious face, "Don't look small, but you can inherit the purest Titan essentia." ”

"Haha. Sauron patted his leg and laughed.

Richard spread his hands as if innocent, "You think I'm joking?"

"It's not that I thought you were joking. Sauron snapped his finger at Chichu and gave up when he saw that it didn't respond. As a mage, I'm a little curious about new species I've never seen before, but it's limited to a bit.

"Wise. Richard gave a thumbs up, and he knew that the more secretive he was in these years, the more people inquired, and the more he told the truth, the more no one would believe him.

What a world!

"Little, go and call a halfling cook. As if by magic, Richard took out a few hazelnuts from his pocket and put them in front of Chiqiu.

Chiqiu stuffed the nuts into his mouth and stored them, his cheeks bulging on both sides, and he fell on all fours and turned into a black whirlwind on the grass again.

"Is it really that smart?" Sauron waited, wondering if he could call the halfling.

"Wait and see. Richard seemed confident.

Sure enough, it didn't take long, and the halfling cook with a white top hat on his head slowly approached step by step. brought soy sauce and spices, and also took over Richard's work.

They were far more skilled than the lord, and soon finished processing the squid and began to grill it on the iron plate.

The knife pressed the ingredients and the hot oil on the iron plate in close contact, and the sound of "zilazila" suddenly ended.

The final finished dish of the halfling lies on a porcelain plate that looks like curly ears of wheat, with a snow-white background and some amber sauce hanging from it. The edges are slightly burnt, but the inside is still very tender, and when the two rows of teeth are squeezed, the little juice locked in them will spill out slightly.

Hot, slightly smoky, but very sweet.

"It's delicious, the craftsmanship is great, and you've got a good sauce. "Sauron is a knowledgeable person, and he found the key when he tasted it. Take a deep breath of the smell of soy sauce being scorched on the iron plate, and nod his head in praise.

"Prizes have been awarded. Richard was immediately overjoyed.

"I don't boast, good is good, there is no need to be modest. Sauron ate another piece, grinning from the heat, but he swallowed it anyway.

"I'm going to open a high-end restaurant, specifically for the aristocracy. Richard said what he was thinking.

Sauron's evaluation gave him a lot of confidence, but after all, the basic territory of Alpine Fort was difficult to deal with in the wilderness, so he was ready to simply pull a Koren land snake into the gang.

"Sir, are you going to join in the shares?"

Sauron's brows furrowed, and he picked up a handkerchief to wipe his mouth while chewing, but finally shook his head, "Richard, I'm serious, this line of work is not so easy to earn. ”

Before the lord could speak, the cook, who was busy frying squid, stopped talking, "My lord, the dishes we have mastered are beyond imagination. ”

The halflings have a lot of pride - their new employer, Lord Richard, Lord of Alpine Castle, is not very skilled, but he is full of theories that he doesn't know where to go, and has a very new and systematic knowledge of food.

Even if they are as proud as halflings, they have to admit that this knowledge is very valuable to them. Since receiving the guidance of the lord, the halflings have been like rats falling into a rice tank, ushering in the whole world to the sky.

They are indeed too talented in cooking, and it didn't take them a few days to complete the process. Now the entire mountain fort, from the lord to the slave, is full of praise for their craftsmanship, and even the halflings themselves feel that they have made great progress.

"Dear Mr. Chef, I fully believe in your craft, but it's never about the taste. Sauron put down his fork and said very seriously, "Is it just because of the taste that the wilderness chieftain likes Pompeii's food, and we Pompeii nobles admire the southern San Jose style?"

San Jose is a slightly smaller but more powerful country located south of Pompeii, with which it has had many border conflicts until a brief peace in recent years.

But even so, it is an indisputable fact that the flamboyant and enthusiastic culture of San Jose became increasingly popular among the young nobles of Pompeii. Whether it is food, clothing, housing or transportation, they are happy to imitate the rich country with a more temperate climate.

Richard was vaguely aware of the problem, but he wouldn't be Richard if he didn't harden his mouth, "Isn't it?"

"Your understanding of business is too simple. Sauron shifted his butt closer to Richard on the cushion, "For the common people in the market, affordability and taste are the most important, but the upper level is not so simple. ”

"Doesn't the upper echelons pay attention to taste?" Richard let him say a little confused.

"My favorite thing is to eat the beef cut into thin slices, marinated and fried, mixed with pepper, salt and garlic. Sauron gave him an example, "It's easy to make and cheap, and who's to say it's not delicious? ”

Richard saw that he didn't seem to have any intention of continuing the meal, and took a fork one by one as he listened.

"Rich people eat not only for the sake of appetite, but also for fashion, fashion is the most important thing. Sauron took a cup of tea and moistened his throat, "Because the prosperity of San Jose is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the people of Pompeii worship the style of San Jose, so the San Jose restaurant can be popular." To be honest, I don't have much interest in San Jose flavors, but I have to visit occasionally for the sake of decency. ”

Richard couldn't help but guess that Sauron must have suffered a big loss in this regard, and when he heard it, he was a person who came over, otherwise why did he say it so reasonably and profoundly, maybe he lost all his pants back then.

"And the craftsmanship of the chef of Alpine Fort is good, after all, it is not so good that it does not eat the dead. Sauron summed it up earnestly: "The flavors of the wilderness are unlikely to catch on in Pompeii, let alone become an instant hit, unless you have the patience to take it slowly." ”

"Baron Richard, do you have the patience?" Sauron cross-examined.

Of course the lord didn't, his purpose was to make quick money, not to contribute to Pompeii's spiritual civilization. The time and cost required to operate slowly are too great, and these two things are what he lacks the most.

"Actually, there is a possibility. Richard held his chin thoughtfully.

"Haha, yes. "Sauron couldn't bear to blow a young man's dreams, even if they were a little too ambitious.

"If Alpine Fort could become as prosperous as San Jose in the future, this business could be done. But when that day comes, you're afraid you won't be able to look down on a few small amounts of money again. ”

After he finished speaking, he looked down and saw that the food was gone.
