Chapter 50: Friends with Food

The dinner starts at seven o'clock.

However, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the Wharton family's carriage appeared outside the inn 'Turnip'.

Or the well-dressed squire.

The other party walked upstairs under the gaze of old Hank, who had just sobered up.

204 is Qin Ran's room number.

The attendant raised his hand and knocked rhythmically on the door.

Knock, knock.

"Lord Colin?"

"I'm coming to pick you up."

The attendant said respectfully.

"Okay, wait a minute."

Qin Ran's voice came through the door, and the attendant of the Wharton family immediately stood with his hands down, waiting quietly, without any impatience on his face, maintaining a smile and peace.

The temperament and cultivation of the big family are vividly reflected at this time.

About three minutes later, Qin Ran pushed the door and walked out.

"Good afternoon, Lord Colin."

The attendant greeted him respectfully.

"Hello."

Qin Ran responded with his head bowed.

And in his mind, he was still thinking about the information that Hollaika had just transmitted.

The 'instigator' was really out of his mind.

However, he doesn't mind 'cooperating' the other party a little.

The 'Silent Night Secret Order' has been in Etaninburg for too long, and its influence is too deep, if he doesn't mess up, he won't have any chance at all, let alone find the key point of the 'broker''s layout.

"Your Excellency, can we go?"

The squire asked.

"Of course."

Qin Ran nodded, and the attendant immediately walked in front and led the way.

As he walked to the first floor, Old Hank waved at the bar.

"I won't close the door here at night, little Hank will stay here."

Old Hank said with a smile.

I have to say that Pol's previous meal made the relationship between the two sides familiar.

Qin Ran nodded and responded.

Continuing to follow the squire, he walked out of the 'Turnip' inn and saw a black carriage.

Black is painted, not the color of wood.

The windows are glass, and at the moment there are white silk curtains.

The carriage was a large four-wheeled carriage, with the coachman sitting in front and kerosene lamps hanging on either side, and it was at the moment in the afternoon, and it was not lit.

Qin Ran's gaze swept over the coachman, the other party was strong and burly, with two slender strokes, and there were thick calluses on the tiger's mouth on the hand holding the reins, obviously a good hand with a sword.

Looking down further, the box-like chair sitting under the other party undoubtedly contained a weapon.

Then, Qin Ran's gaze looked at the carriage.

Although the silk curtains were hung, the people inside did not mean to hide them, and the next moment, the curtains were lifted.

Chur. Walton!

After changing his uniform, the young man in a knight's uniform did not wait for the attendants, he directly pushed open the car door and made an inviting gesture towards Qin Ran.

"Welcome, my most distinguished guest of the evening."

As Qin Ran boarded the carriage, the young nobleman said this.

Then the attendant sat down beside the coachman, and with a flick of the reins, the carriage started slowly again.

At the same time, the young nobleman took out another bag of sweets.

"It's still produced by 'Snowy Owl Candy House'."

"Made with cocoa beans, it was a little bitter at first, but it tasted great afterwards."

The young nobleman handed the candy to Qin Ran.

"Thank you."

Qin Ran didn't refuse, took it easily, and thanked him.

Looking at Qin Ran's face, which had changed from indifference to slightly soft, Kur. Wharton breathed a sigh of relief and a smile on his face.

Qin Ran's kind reminder before made this young nobleman discover the difference between Qin Ran.

Because of this, he invited each other to tonight's banquet.

Of course, it is also to repay the other party for saving their lives.

A 'thank you' alone is not enough to repay the other person.

However, looking at Qin Ran's expression at this moment, after he once again confirmed Qin Ran's love for food, the young nobleman was in a good mood.

After seeing Qin Ran open the package and eat a piece of the new product of 'Snow Owl Candy House', he couldn't wait to ask.

"How's it taste?"

"The bitterness is moderate, the sweetness is just right, it's good."

Qin Ran gave a fair evaluation.

Same evaluation as myself!

Such an answer made the young nobleman's eyes light up, and then, he began to take all kinds of candy and snacks from the food box in the carriage and share them with Qin Ran.

There are both filled gummies and hard candies.

There is milk pudding, as well as chiffon cakes.

Among them, the cheesecake made Qin Ran express its deliciousness.

In addition to being asked about his feelings after eating from time to time, Qin Ran really felt that it was a good afternoon.

In the same way, Kuhl. Wharton thinks so, too.

He never imagined that there would be a person who loved food as much as he did.

In the past, when he recommended it to his colleagues, his friends always refused.

'As a knight, you shouldn't be blinded by appetite!' ’

'A hardened heart needs restraint!' ’

'Sweetness, far less bitter! ’

A similar reason to make the want to share the Kull. Wharton was distressed.

Penance.

He didn't mind.

War.

He didn't mind either.

Actual combat.

He's happy too.

So why not be able to eat a little better in life?

Life is already so bitter, can't you have a little sweetness?

With such questioning, the young nobleman was subjected to the maximum load of training every day.

And then......

Quietly eating food.

Especially sweets.

After training, it was really fun to have a few bites.

Therefore, when he met Qin Ran, who was powerful and liked food, this young aristocrat was happy from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Ran's appearance is enough to prove that if you love food, you can also become a strong person, and it will not drag it down, otherwise, Qin Ran is so young, why is he so strong?

As if to find the best excuse to refute his colleagues, Kuhl. Wharton couldn't help but celebrate.

How to celebrate?

Eat an extra slice of creamy strawberry cake

Pick up a piece of strawberry cake covered in cream, Kuhl. Wharton first took a small bite at the tip of the point, and when the tip of his tongue touched the delicacy, the young nobleman opened his mouth to the maximum, and threw the rest of the cake into his mouth completely, his eyes couldn't help but narrow under the delicious taste of the cake, and he leaned back in the cushion of the chair and hummed pleasantly with his nose.

But then, he thought that this was not in line with his identity, and it was even more rude.

Immediately, your young nobleman sat up straight.

He glanced at Qin Ran and found that Qin Ran was completely immersed in the food and didn't notice him at all, the young nobleman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, he was attracted by Qin Ran's posture of focusing on food, and saliva secreted involuntarily.

When saliva filled his mouth, the young nobleman couldn't hold back any longer.

Today is a day to celebrate!

I'll eat another piece!

No, two pieces!

Two strawberry cream cakes are enough to show the celebratory nature!

Chur. Wharton stretched out his hands, picked up two strawberry cream cakes on the left and right, opened his mouth and bit them, and between the left and the right, the exponential satisfaction began to permeate his face.

Suddenly, the hard lines became, soft, soft.

In particular, the eyes that were as sharp as a falcon became like a pool of autumn water at this time.

And the hooked nose, which was originally comparable to his temperament, became extremely abrupt.

However, the two people present, no one paid attention to this.

Chur. Wharton was completely immersed in the food.

Qin Ran?

His eyes were on Kuhl. Wharton brought out a hidden food crate...... Barbecue!

It's not a cooled barbecue.

It was the steaming barbecue, as if it had just been taken off the charcoal fire, and there was no charcoal fire in the hidden food box.

Secret arts?

Qin Ran thought.

"That's a witchcraft I asked a wizard to set up."

"In that food box, you can maintain the freshness and temperature of the food to the maximum."

"Even if you leave it for a week, it's the same as if it had just been baked."

After seeing Qin Ran's speculative eyes looking at the food box, Kur. Wharton took the initiative to explain, and while explaining, the nobleman took out condiments such as black pepper and knives and forks from a food box.

Turning the seasoning jar, the black pepper was evenly sprinkled on the roast.

Chur. Wharton couldn't wait to insert a piece with a fork, and after learning from Qin Ran's appearance, he didn't cut it, and put it in his mouth.

I was a little unaccustomed at first.

However, when the barbecue meat was completely stuffed in his mouth, the strange refreshing sensation brought by the chewing made the young nobleman's eyes light up, and he couldn't help it, and he took out another barbecue from another hidden food box.

Unlike the previous large slices cut from the corbel.

This roast is a whole leg of lamb.

Thankfully, there are two roast leg of lamb.

Qin Ran raised his hand and grabbed one.

Chur. Wharton still learned from Qin Ran's appearance and reached out to grab it.

Although this does not correspond to the aristocratic dining etiquette to which he was subjected.

But at this time, Kuhl. Wharton didn't care so much.

From sweets, pastries, cakes, to barbecue, that is, more than half an hour, Kur. Wharton felt a sense of rebirth.

It's a pity that when the last bone was chewed and swallowed into Qin Ran's stomach, the young nobleman came back to his senses.

Iβ€”What did I do?

How did you eat up all my stock for a week?

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and the days after, what should I do?

Am I going to live a week of ascetic life?

An aura called despair appeared in the young nobleman.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Ran took the initiative to ask.

For Kuhl, who was able to share food with him in front of him. Wharton, Qin Ran's impression is a little better.

If it's not a big deal, he's happy to help.

"These are my stocks for a week."

"The barracks I am in, the food I make, is very nutritious, but ...... Bad. ”

"To make matters worse, the barracks I was in were semi-enclosed."

"I can't leave except for my weekly vacation."

Chur. Wharton explained.

"So, you need to fill those dark compartments with food now?"

"It's seven o'clock, it's only five o'clock, and we have more time to place our orders in advance, and then, when you send me off from the dinner, go to these restaurants and pick up the food."

"Although you have invited the chefs of the 'Snow Owl Candy House', 'Elk Snack Room' and 'Grizzly Bear Restaurant', but such a large Etaninburgh, I think there must be a chef of a similar level, right?"

Qin Ran said the solution.

"Do this...... May I? ”

"Don't you mind, Colin?"

Chur. Wharton hesitated.

Because, in the eyes of the young nobleman, it was once again contrary to his aristocratic etiquette.

Take the invited guests to buy food.

If someone else knows about it, it's really a shame.

"Of course I don't mind."

"I wish I knew more about the restaurants that Etandine is recognized by you."

Qin Ran smiled kindly.

With a smile on his face, there was a hint of anticipation.

Although the strength of the young aristocrat in front of him is very average, the tongue of the other party is very good, and the restaurant recognized by him is naturally good.

He had already decided that after the other party led the way, he would deliberately pick out a period of time every day to taste these foods for the rest of his life.

looked at Qin Ran's sincere smile.

Chur. Wharton immediately tapped the window and told the driver who was circling to change the route.

"Colin, you know what?"

"The food gathering area of Etantoinburgh is in the commercial area of the Central Third Ring Road, of course, I don't mean to belittle the civilian area of the Lower Seventh Ring Road, there is also great food there."

"It's a pity that we don't have enough time today."

Chur. Wharton began to explain to Qin Ran where the business district was worth going.

And at this time, because of the sweat of eating, Kull. Wharton had already opened the silk curtains, and the windows had also opened a small slit, with a hint of cool wind, blowing in at this time, with a sense of comfort, and also dispelled the smell of food in the carriage.

Qin Ran listened to Kuhl. Wharton's explanation, while looking at the business district.

It's different from ordinary people's attention to scenery and liveliness.

Qin Ran subconsciously looked towards all corners and shadows.

And then......

He saw Edson.

After a rather sophisticated disguise, Edson, who was squatting in the corner, as if he was a lazy business buddy, was instantly alert after Qin Ran watched, he did not turn his head directly, but used the residual light of his eyes to scan.

When he saw the carriage passing by the main road, Edson was stunned.

Why is that snake faction here?

And also......

What's going on with the smell of candy, snacks, cakes, and barbecue wafting from the train?

Goo, goo.

Smelling this, the former mad demon hunter couldn't help but curl up again.

He was really hungry.

After decades in prison, he didn't even eat a single bite of normal food.

Most of them are in a state of starvation.

At this moment, he came to his senses, and in order to take revenge, he returned to the vicinity of the 'prison' without slackening.

The attraction of food to Edson can be imagined.

But he had to endure.

There can be no relaxation.

Can......

Hunger can affect physical strength.

Why don't I go to the back market and buy a cake?

The idea crossed Edson's mind.

Then, I couldn't hold it back anymore.

Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly noticed a figure approaching him, in a cautious, cautious manner.

Edson immediately grasped the dagger in alarm.

But, the next moment, his nose couldn't help but stir a few times.

There is a smell of fried chicken on the other side.
