Chapter 65: Food Month, a New Beginning
[PS: 2-in-1 chapter.] 】
After sending away the employees, Rowan handed the rest of the money to Qin Ying: "There are still seventy-five thousand left, you can take it and put it away." By the way, you can also go shopping tomorrow and buy whatever you want, without worrying about money. You've been here for a few days now, and it's time to get a taste of the otherworldly. ”
Speaking of which, Qin Ying is equivalent to summoning beasts and demon pets to Luo Wen, and there is no problem with trust.
After she put the money away, she was a little worried: "My understanding of this world is really limited, and I don't know what magic and monsters are...... Where do I go? Is there a bag in this world? ”
The corners of Luo Wen's eyes suddenly pulled out three black lines: "There are bags, but our street is a civilian street, and there is no bag you want." ”
Qin Ying asked again: "Can the boss accompany me to go shopping?" ”
Luo Wen rolled his eyes: "No, I have something to do tomorrow." ”
"Oh." Qin Ying nodded, "Then I won't go out." ”
With that, she found a small bag and put away the magic tickets, ready to take all the money back to the small hut and store it.
……
Tonight's misty world is still sparsely moonlit, perfect for a late-night outing.
After Luo Wen used the Miracle of Time and the Demon Transformation one after another, he successfully summoned a Demon Transformation summon, this time summoning a pair of bamboo chopsticks, Luo Wen couldn't tell its purpose for the time being, so he put it up, ready to try it out during the day.
After that, he took Doudou with him and set out on his night journey again.
As for the other demon pet toad......
Let's let it continue to be a bonsai!
Soon, Rowan was in the place where he had left last night.
After last night's adventure, Rowan had completely changed his mind, and instead of rushing forward, he was ready to explore sideways, first exploring all the maps on the mountain.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools!
Now that you have determined that the monsters on this mountain are not strong, let's hunt slowly, accumulate experience, and wait until the level is higher and the strength is stronger before exploring further!
"The monsters I've encountered so far are mainly clusters of slimes, mushroom heads, and toads, and other than them, there are some monsters like monkeys, snakes, and insects. Among them, the level of the toad and the mushroom head is too low to provide experience at all, while the level of the slime is higher, and it should be around level three. Doudou and I are both level 3, but slimes are so weak that we can only gain 1-2 experience points when we hunt slimes. But as long as you can gain experience, you can add up a lot. There are more than a dozen or twenty slimes in a slime group, and you can also gain dozens of experience points after hunting them all! As long as you come a dozen times, you can also upgrade. ”
With this in mind, Rowan very simply put away his benevolence, and once he encountered the group of slimes sleeping peacefully around the tree, he commanded Doudou to rush forward, and he himself ...... Of course, it's to sit next to you and relive "Journey to the West"!
Doudou, who has a five-point physique, will no longer be in danger when hunting slimes, and both the hunting speed and the devouring speed are very fast, even if the physical strength is exhausted, it can be replenished by gluttony!
By three o'clock in the morning, Doudou had eliminated a full eight slime packs and gained more than two hundred experience points.
Seeing that it was getting late, Rowan closed the book, called Doudou, and went home to rest.
……
As the sun rises, Fernandi ushers in a new month.
The month is June, and legend has it that the original gastronomic association was founded between June and July, so the gastronomic association designated June and July as gastronomic month in order to commemorate the founding day of the association!
Every year during Food Month, the gastronomic association organizes a large number of events, the biggest of which is the food congress in each city!
Fernandi is divided into nine districts, each of which has the right to operate autonomously, and they hold their own gastronomic congresses in their respective districts.
The gastronomic congress is divided into two parts, one part is the July gastronomic festival that can only be attended by groups or individuals who have obtained an invitation!
The other part is the June Food Fair, which calls on the general public to participate together!
From the beginning of the month to the beginning of the month, to the middle of the month, and then at the end of the month to decide the winner, this is the June Food Conference, every food and beverage store...... No, it's everyone's carnival!
Every two months, it is also the peak tourist season for Fernandi, with princes and nobles from all over the world, college students on long vacations, people who want to experience adventure and food, and people from all walks of life will come to Fernandi to bring more popularity and income.
But perhaps the people of Fernandi are used to Food Month, so Rowan hadn't heard much about Food Month before.
He really learned about it because of a flyer afterward!
……
On the day the tavern was closed, Rowan didn't wake up naturally, nor did he stay in the foggy world.
He got up early, cleaned the tavern with Qin Ying, and then opened the main door and moved the two deck chairs to the door.
Of course, he wasn't going to open his doors, so he closed the door after removing his chair and hung up a "Closed" sign.
After everything was ready, he and Qin Ying walked into the Ice Goddess Tavern opposite.
The interior and exterior of the tavern have been renovated, and the overall model is a reference to the KFC store, but the basic style is still biased towards the old otherworldly style.
When Rowan walked into the tavern, Barr and the princess were already inside, standing outside the new counter that surrounded the kitchen door, seemingly chatting about something.
Inside that counter, there are also the two waiters and chef Xiaolong of the Ice Goddess Tavern, as well as the legendary five-star chef Wu Le!
The two waiters at the Ice Goddess Tavern, a man and a woman, have trained with Chef Xiaolong for a day at the Flame Girl Tavern, and have both learned how to make burgers and fries.
It's that Wu Le, Rowan has only met once or twice before, and he is still not familiar with it.
He approached the counter and looked inside, "...... you guys"
There were several cups on the counter, and the cups were orange liquid.
He suddenly understood: "This is juice?" ”
The princess gave him a blank look: "This is a fruit-flavored drink!" ”
Rowan was surprised: "It's only been a day and two nights, right?" How did you develop a fruit-flavored drink? ”
"It's thanks to our Chef Wu." Bal Le pointed at Wu Le, "I haven't had a chance to introduce you to the past two days, this Wu Le is the newly hired chef of our tavern. He is a certified five-star chef by the Gastronomy Association! ”
Rowan couldn't help but touch his chin: "Five-star chef? Sounds amazing. ”
But Wu Le looked very humble in front of him: "Don't don't, boss, don't call me chef!" In front of you, I really can't be called a chef. I can't think of a fruit-flavored drink idea like yours! I could almost immediately imagine that when our drink became popular, there would be countless businesses copying us! In my opinion, this is sure to revolutionize the beverage industry! I am truly honored to be one of the initiators of this revolution! ”
Are people in this world born with curly tongues? This blows people up one by one more comfortably!
Rowan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, he had already remembered who this Wu Le was, John had indeed mentioned such a person to him at the beginning.
"I heard that you used to be a celebrity chef in the South Crane Tower, and you left there because of a woman?"
Wu Le suddenly smiled awkwardly: "Boss, can you not mention this?" ”
Rowan smiled, picked up a drink from the plate, and asked, "What kind of drink is this?" ”
Wu Le hurriedly said: "It's orange-flavored!" There is a plant that has the same flavor as the leaves, so I picked the leaves, ground them into powder, and seasoned them with spices, and I made this flavor first. ”
"Really?" Rowan raised his glass and took a sip, his eyes couldn't help but light up, "This taste is restored very well, I can't tell the difference between it and orange juice!" ”
The princess next to her also said: "Indeed, I also like this orange juice flavored drink." ”
Rowan said again: "There shouldn't be any harmful substances in this drink, right?" ”
Wu Le said very confidently: "Of course not! Even if we as chefs can't make delicious dishes, we must not use toxic substances to enhance the flavor. ”
"That's good." Rowan nodded with satisfaction, "So, is the sign for the new restaurant ready?" ”
Barr took over: "Of course it's ready, just wait for you to come, and we'll hang up the sign!" ”
The light of the rising sun shines on the earth, the air is filled with a warm atmosphere, and the East Street is already full of people in the early morning, and the people here are always busy, and it is rare to have free time.
Together, they brought two ladders and set them up on either side of the main entrance to the tavern.
Then, they removed from the tavern the sign that had been prepared long ago, and the sign was covered with silk cloth, and the style inside was not visible for the time being.
Rowan and Barr lifted the signboard together, and then began to climb up the ladder on both sides, but they were ready to hang the signboard on the door beam together.
The others were all gathered below, all smiling at them.
Obi, who is used to getting up early, also appeared on the opposite street at some point, and is now looking at this side kindly.
Occasionally, passers-by here also looked curiously, most of them noticed that something had happened to the Ice Goddess Tavern in the past two days, but they didn't know the inside story.
A group of adventurers seem to have just returned from the labyrinth and happen to appear at the intersection of the streets. Some of them were wounded, and they held each other up. Some people seem to be jubilant when they get a lot of benefits, but on the whole, they are quite harmonious.
In this way, they did not go back to the guild to hand over the task as soon as possible, but were ready to find a restaurant to treat themselves first.
Among them, the adventurer who led the way was the most familiar, it was Tie Shi, the vice president of the "Iron Wall" guild, a regular customer of the Ice Goddess Tavern!
"Let's go to the Ice Goddess! I had heard before I left on my mission that a good batch of wine had been brought in there. Damn, staying in the maze these days, I've almost forgotten the taste of wine! ”
Without hesitation, Iron Stone walked towards the Ice Goddess Tavern, and the adventurers behind him, although a little helpless, still followed.
When they reached the vicinity of the Ice Goddess's Tavern, they saw Rowan and Barr climb to the top of the ladder, then hold the new sign high and hang it on the shelves that had already been installed!
What's going on?
Ironstone walked up briskly and looked up at Baal; "Lao Ba, have you changed your signboard?"
Ballo lowered his head, and when he found that the person asking was Tieshi, he couldn't help but smile and responded: "It's Lao Tie!" You've come back from the labyrinth? I'm not just changing the sign! From today onwards, this is not a tavern! ”
Then he turned to Rowan and said, "Boss Luo, let's lift the silk cloth together!" ”
Rowan also smiled: "Let's count together, one, two, three!" ”
"Whew!"
The black silk cloth was lifted by the two of them, and the new sign was finally exposed to the air, and the orange sunlight slanted down, illuminating the new store name on the sign.
"From today, the Adventure Restaurant is open!"
"Oh!"
As Rowan and Barr announced together, the two young and vigorous waiters and the chef Xiaolong also coaxed together, and the surrounding area suddenly swayed with joy.
……
"Lao Tie, do you want to come to my new store?" Baal said to Ironstone as he descended from the ladder.
Tie Shi stared at the four words on the signboard for a long time, and then came back to his senses and said, "Of course I am going, it seems that I am going to be the first customer of your new store!" ”
As he spoke, he waved back, and a total of a dozen adventurers poured into the "Adventure Restaurant"!
The walls and floors of the Adventure Restaurant are paved with smooth porcelain stone, giving it a high-end feel that shouldn't be on a civilian street.
Iron Stone was well-informed and not uncomfortable, but many of the adventurers he brought with him had never even entered the aristocratic quarter, and those who were a little hesitant when they entered the store, as if they were worried that they would hide the ground.
Sensing the discomfort of his adventurers, Tie Shi asked, "It's only been a few days, how did the Ice Goddess become such a noble restaurant?" ”
Barr smiled and said, "Where? I'm a cheap shop, but it's just a little newer. What do you want? I told them to bring the menu. ”
In place of the menu board, there is a parchment menu that has been carefully crafted at Rowan's suggestion.
But after taking the menu, Tie Shi glanced at it a few times, but couldn't help frowning: "Why is there all the things on your menu that I can't understand?" Burgers, fries, juice-flavored drinks, what's that? ”
Iron Stone is basically a hardcore customer of the Ice Goddess, he has never been to Flame Girl, and he is old-fashioned and doesn't keep up with trends, so he doesn't know about burgers and fries.
Barr patiently explains: "These are all new dishes in our store. Starting today, our Adventure Restaurant specializes in burgers and fries. But there are other things too, such as fried chicken, pork cutlets, sauced meat, bread and vegetable salad......"
Tieshi waved his hand and said, "Then bring me a plate of fried chicken, a plate of pork chops, a plate of sauce meat, and then a jar of your latest good wine!" ”
"This ......," Barr hesitated, "I don't sell alcohol in this new shop anymore." ”
Tie Shi suddenly frowned: "Don't sell alcohol?" Aren't you a tavern? Oh yes, you've moved to a new shop, and now it's not a tavern. ”
At this, he couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then stood up in front of Barr: "Since there is no alcohol here, it seems that I can't be your first customer." ”
Then, ignoring Barrna's stunned expression, he turned around very decisively and said to the other adventurers, "Brothers, let's go, change to a store with liquor!" ”
"Huh?"
Unexpectedly, the voices of doubt kept ringing.
"Big brother, why don't you sit down and eat? These burgers and fries are delicious! ”
"Wow, what's going on with this drink? Isn't this orange juice? When did juice become so cheap? ”
"It's delicious! I can't stop! ”
All Iron Stone saw was a bulging face stuffed with hamburgers and fries.
