Chapter 174: The Harvest Before the Return
'Cat's China House'.
Thomas, the lord of the Elfield Chamber of Commerce, and his grandson Sillius each collapsed on a chair at the dining table.
On the table, the boiler was still steaming.
It's just that the plates and plates around it, the plates of ingredients, whether green or red, have all disappeared.
You don't have to think about it too much, you know that these ingredients were eaten by the grandparents and grandchildren, and then the reason why the abdomen was swollen and round was nothing more than eating too much.
"Grandpa, why, it seems to be a messy stew, and then it is also a very ordinary ingredient, but it can be so delicious?" It took Celius a long time to let out a breath.
Thomas is also a 'cooking inventor' in another world, and he has a good cooking foundation.
When he heard his grandson's doubts, he smiled and pointed to the steaming pot:
"Ingredients are very secondary."
"Soul!"
"In the pot!"
Explaining this way, Thomas was thinking faster inside.
The name of the dish is ......
'Red oil hot pot'?
The spicy flavor is undoubtedly derived from chili peppers.
It's just that the stamina is very strong, a spice that makes the tongue numb, what is it?
In addition, even if it is an ordinary vegetable ingredient, soaking it in the 'red oil pot' for a few seconds has a thick beef juice flavor, but there is no shadow of beef in the pot......
Well?!
Is it something like 'cow fat'?
In fact, the so-called daily recommended dishes written on the blackboard have not been changed for a week, anyway, since Xia Yan repeatedly postponed the research and development of the cat house menu, immersed in the special exam questions of "noodles are not noodles" and "national warriors", he couldn't extricate himself, so he simply launched a dish that is not troublesome, but will be popular with all guests.
Chafing dish.
So even Ms. Honglong was refreshing and not bored, and ate it repeatedly for several days.
But Xia Yan said that the hot pot ingredient list he prepared for these guests from another world was only at the elementary level, and meat and vegetables were very common.
More advanced hot pot soul ingredients, such as hairy belly, duck intestines and duck blood, Xia Yan is not in a hurry to write them on the ingredient list, as a reserved means to deal with those gluttons.
He felt that the 'Cat's China House' would become the 'Cat's Hot Pot House' for a while.
In the world, there is nothing that a hot pot cannot solve.
If there is, then two! Three meals!
"Lord Thomas."
The lord of the Alfield Chamber of Commerce, who had eaten and had a full stomach and was slumped in his chair and didn't want to move, squinted slightly when he heard the new store manager walking to the side.
"There are a few things I want to ask you about ingredients."
Thomas sat up slightly straighter and said with a smile: "The meeting gift I prepared for you is the most common batch of ingredients that the manager of the cat house used to exchange with me with the turnover of one day on Saturday in the past. ”
"You don't seem to be very satisfied with it now."
"It's too ordinary."
Unexpectedly, the young new store manager replied so quickly, Thomas was stunned: "Ordinary? ”
I saw the new store manager ask in a serious tone:
"Are there any 'monsters' or the like? Or, with the words 'pollution' or 'distortion'? ”
Thomas was stunned for a long time.
His grandson Celius couldn't help but say, "Mr. Storekeeper, do you mean the flesh of monsters, or those things that are contaminated with a terrible alien aura?" ”
The boy was much more surprised than his grandfather.
"Those things, compared to the bag of vegetables that Grandpa handed you, are not worth anything at all!"
"In our world, no one will spend a copper coin to buy something that is impossible to eat!"
"On the contrary, the more ordinary, the more impurities, clean and pure things are, the more precious and valuable they are!"
Xia Yan didn't know how to explain it, after all, it was a crab-like challenge to cut through obstacles and find delicious food from "impossible" cooking things in the barren food field.
In the world of the Halberd Spirit.
There were groups of elites who walked ahead of him, going one after another to study the 'alienated ingredients', so Xia Yan didn't think there was anything.
Now he is alone, in an unknown world, and has become a lonely explorer.
Xia Yan suddenly felt that the pressure was great, and the smile on his face was slightly stiff.
Seeing the store manager standing there just smiling and not saying a word, Thomas frowned slightly: "If you need it......"
Meanwhile.
Kenghao Chengoro, who hasn't left yet.
and Sarah Gerdo, a female treasure hunter.
I was keenly aware of such an opportunity to establish a "deep friendship" with the store manager.
Tatsugoro wanders from the Western Continent to the Eastern Continent and has a wealth of mercenary experience, while Sarah is a treasure hunter who thinks he has a good experience with some "pollution" and "monsters".
"We can help too!"
Xia Yan looked at the two, "A mercenary and a treasure hunter?" ”
"You can choose the normal gold coin errand fee, and of course, as the store manager, I offer another special 'salary', and I will provide you with items that are not on the cathouse's public menu, nor are they 'daily recommendations'...... Very, very special dishes! ”
Hearing this, Sarah and Tatsugoro's expressions became even more eager to try.
"Leave it to us!"
"We'll be back soon!"
……
This is the afternoon of a business day.
Jingle bells!
The door was opened, and Kenhao Chengoro was the first to return, and his harvest was a huge demon wolf, except for the size that was different from ordinary wild wolves, the biggest strangeness was that there were dinosaur spines on his back.
Tatsugoro is worthy of being a famous swordsman in both the Eastern and Western Continents, the "Demon Wolf" was sealed by his sword, and the wound was extremely deep, and it was a fatal penetrating wound, but the blood did not seep, and the whole corpse was clean.
Soon.
Female treasure hunter Sarah Geldo is also back, but her prey, compared to Tatsugoro's "demon wolf", is not of the same magnitude in terms of size alone.
She looked at the wolf corpse that was surrounded by everyone in the storefront and discussed, and blushed slightly: "My prey is 'chicken, snake, and beast'." ”
So Xia Yan has one more item in today's abnormal ingredient research catalog.
A small monster with the head and body of a rooster, but instead of a beautiful feather, the tail is a creepy, long snake tail.
……
Night, the wee hours of the morning approached.
In the utility room specially vacated to house employees, the little maid Aretta was woken up by a faint sound outside the door, yawned, listened attentively, and found that the sound came from the back kitchen, she pushed open the door in a daze, and went out, and saw a figure with his back to her under the light, wielding a knife to dismember the wolf corpse.
"Store manager, didn't you say you should go to bed early today?"
Xia Yan, who found the little maid getting up at night, was suddenly stunned, only to realize that Saturday was coming.
Clang!
At this time, the midnight bell rang in the storefront.
I don't know why.
In the empty and distant bells, there is a cold and gloomy atmosphere spreading.
Wearing a nightdress, Aretta seemed to be sensitive to this kind of aura, and her face, which was originally full of confusion, instantly sobered up.
Bang!
Bang bang!
There is a knock on the door, instead of the painting style of opening the door and ringing the bell when ordinary guests come to the door.
The shopkeeper, the little maid, looked at each other against the backdrop of this knocking on the door.
Neither of them had any intention of moving to open the door.
Xia Yan was warned by the Red Dragon Lady, and Arletta, possibly a dangerous instinct, she shrank behind Xia Yan in fear.
This knock didn't last long, it disappeared, but before half a minute had passed, another knock came, it seemed that someone had changed outside the door, the knock was very powerful, the frequency was extremely fast, and the sound was like a rapid drum beat hitting the heart.
"Whew-"
Xia Yan let out a breath, that's it?
His eyes were strange, and this alone didn't frighten him, and it seemed that the "door", or the golden bell, had isolated most of the anomalies on the other side.
It's just that Xia Yan can't help but be more curious.
The store managers of the cat house in the past generations, to be precise, are the blue stars under this plane of time and space, what happened?
What kind of disaster has befallen you?
So much so that ......
Personalities, like the Red Dragon Lady, are considered taboo and unwilling to talk in depth.
