Chapter 50: Anduin who continues to be lazy
As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and it didn't take long for a lot of ingredients to be strung into iron skewers one by one and stacked next to them in different categories, but they were not brought into the kitchen by Anduin at all, so that everyone couldn't help but start to guess what kind of cooking method Anduin would use to make these simple ingredients into delicious food.
"I think even if you don't use hot pot for this way of eating, it's not too far off!"
The bearded dwarf still remembered the first delicacy in his mind: "You think, when you eat hot pot, you can cook it freshly and eat it now, but now there is still a period of time before the sun goes down, so if you cook it over a fierce fire, there is absolutely no problem with serving dinner!" β
"According to what you say, can't you just throw it in a cauldron and stew? Do you still need to waste effort on stringing iron sticks? I don't think we can ignore the big iron stove outside the door! Eh, when you architects built it, you didn't hear the slightest rumor? β
An architect thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Count Anduin didn't say anything, just instructed us how to do it, from the perspective of the structure, the iron furnace is divided into two layers, the upper layer is relatively large, the top is hollowed out, and a special hook is also designed, it is estimated that it is for hanging something, the lower layer is slightly more complicated, but you can also see the design of the vent and the like, to sum up, even if the Earl of Anduin wants to bake things in the iron oven, he will not use it tonight, these ingredients are too small, and it is inconvenient to operate!" β
When everyone heard this, most of them agreed, and Nilasek suddenly interjected: "You mean, these things may be baked and eaten?" β
The architect nodded slightly, but it attracted a disappointed response, barbecue this primitive cooking method, in the Holy Empire is not unusual, explorers from time to time to go to the wild to eat and sleep, the most common food is barbecue, peeling skin and blood, roasting and cooking, almost everyone must be proficient in ability, at most at the end of the barbecue to add some salty salt condiments, so there is no novelty, and the disappointment is spontaneous.
Anduin smiled at this, he knew that the explorers would change their faces when they heard about the barbecue, and today he was going to make these people understand that the simple processing of primitive barbecue could not be compared to tonight's party!
However, not all explorers are disappointed, such as the bearded dwarf with a strange painting style.
"Why do you all have such expressions?"
Hera Tieli stroked his thick beard, puzzled: "I remember telling you, on the night of the Winter Veil, Archbishop Kidd saw that Count Anduin only showed a bunch of lettuce, and he was so angry that he left, and the three guys over there also left with the leader, but what was the result?" I ate it with relish anyway, and I couldn't eat the lettuce and raw meat, so I cooked it in the soup, it seemed to have more magic, and people couldn't help but eat it! β
Sensing that everyone looked over, Jones coughed dryly, glanced at the bearded dwarf, and then said: "There was a reason for the incident that night, so I missed the opportunity to taste the hot pot for the first time, but afterwards I also thought about why the hot pot is so delicious, the first reason is the novelty of the eating method, but the main reason is the flavor of the clear soup and the red soup!" β
Jones said to everyone in an old-fashioned manner: "We have eaten the so-called home-cooked food in the Hearthstone Hotel for a few days, even if you don't say the evaluation, I can see that although those dishes are fresh, it is not as good as hot pot, but you are still scrambling to grab it every day for fear of eating less, what is the biggest reason?" It's not because of other people's dishes, it tastes delicious! β
Seeing that everyone showed their approving eyes, Jones also took the opportunity to make a concluding statement: "So, don't be sick to your stomach when you hear about the barbecue, may the Earl of Anduin disappoint us?" Next, you will wait in peace, if Count Anduin has any other requirements, you must actively participate, this is not an ordinary dinner, but a welcome party to celebrate the settlement of our branch in Stormwind Town, and Count Anduin must not be left alone! β
Hearing this, the explorers nodded one after another, but Anduin was a little embarrassed, in fact, he didn't do anything, the sauce was prepared by the food No. 1 in charge of the whole process, and several processes to kill time were also undertaken by everyone, and the rest was only to wait until the meal was officially baked, but the problem was that the time was urgent, and it was impossible to make modern stoves, so the only way to put the original utensils of the smoke and fire outside the gate, but remembering the cold night of the cold weather, and the barbecue food that was hungry, Anduin, who had just had a good conscience, solemnly decided, Just be lazy and steal to the end......
Subsequently, Anduin began to instruct the explorers, set up the grill to arrange the charcoal, and by the way, used heavy yellow mud to pile up around the iron furnace.
Every move in the hall fell into the eyes of the merchants, who often ran up and down to deliver news to the three merchants.
Gradually, they also heard a little meaning, Anduin's Hearthstone inn, in addition to the good decoration, the taste of the food is also acceptable, especially near the evening, many townspeople came together, although they did not buy too expensive meals, but seeing them eat attentively and relish, it made the follower feel that Anduin's business experience did not seem to be so unbearable.
The shrewd businessman looked at the sky, the sunset had already fallen to the top of the mountain, and thought that the party downstairs was about to begin, so he asked his attendant to buy a few dinners first, and smiled at the other two: "Regardless of whether he Anduin is really capable, or is he ready to consume us, we must be prepared for a protracted battle, although the things I ordered are simpler, at least they will not be slaughtered in vain, looking at their posture, they are really ready to eat barbecue, and I don't know what those explorers think, they don't eat enough on weekdays, and they are ready to be used as a party meal?" β
The irritable merchant suddenly stood up, tried the tightness of the window door, and then nodded and said: "Anyway, the infrastructure of this shop is still commendable, the window does not leak, and it can block most of the smoky smells. β
The third merchant shook his head and smiled, but found smoke and dust floating outside the window, and knew that the party had officially begun, so he quietly looked downstairs and found that Anduin was demonstrating the barbecue process one by one, how to control the temperature of charcoal, how to bake different ingredients, the order of brushing different sauces during the grilling period, and the best ratio of dishes and dipping sauces.
Seeing a handful of iron skewer mutton, smoked by charcoal fire until bright and charred, and the falling oil droplets rattled, so that this merchant, who was going to see the joke, couldn't help but stir his throat, and wondered what this mutton skewer that had been brushed with various sauces several times was like.
In the end, it was the bearded dwarf who had a talent for commenting, and this guy was not polite, obviously noticing Jones's eyes, but he grabbed a handful regardless of it, and bit it directly at the pile of meat, and then it was a long and incomparably long up and down chewing, making everyone wait in a hurry.
Jones asked angrily, "Aren't you very good at talking?" Why don't you want to talk about it now? β
However, Hera Tieli was immersed in his own world, and it was not until Jones showed his casserole-sized fist that he swallowed all the food, and replied with great satisfaction: "Boss, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I want to keep them for a while, can you understand my current mood?" It's not that the barbecue is not delicious, but we can't do it well! I won't say much gossip, you'll know after you've eaten! β
Since the bearded dwarves have said so, what questions do Jones and the others have? When they saw that there was an empty grill next to it, they immediately flocked to it, learning from Anduin and baking all kinds of food.
The third merchant who watched the whole process was a little puzzled, this barbecue is really so delicious? Although he felt that there must be a mystery in all kinds of sauces, there was a voice in his heart that these explorers were building a faΓ§ade for Anduin, and as long as they pretended to enjoy it, they could add a little confidence to Anduin, so that when they agreed to ship, they would definitely open their mouths!
The grumpy businessman was also attracted by the lively scene downstairs, glanced at it, and said with a light smile: "It's no wonder that these explorers haven't eaten anything good, they run around all day long, where is this time?" Eh, when I arrived at the fortress, I invited the two of you to the Silver Hotel, and I heard that the new chef had good skills, and when I went back to deliver goods to Boss Gerald, I tasted it by the way. β
"I've also heard that this chef was dug by Gerald from the imperial capital, and he knows a few new dishes, and recently the nobles of the Silver Fortress like to run there, and I heard that the orders have been scheduled for the next week!" The shrewd businessman glanced at the other party, and smiled without smiling, "Listen to your tone, do you think you have won the majority of the order?" β
The irascible merchant did not deny it: "Of the three of us, I should have the most financial resources, so isn't Anduin just trying to raise the price?" As long as it's not too outrageous, I can eat them all! β
The shrewd merchant smiled slightly: "You and I don't want to fight here, even if you can get all the orders, you must pry Anduin's mouth first, what if he is really ready to digest it himself?" β
"What else can I do?" The grumpy merchant snorted coldly, "Of course, when he drags Stormwind Town down by himself, he will directly do it once and for all!" β
At this moment, several attendants brought food, and the third merchant no longer stood by the window, but took the initiative to sit down and play a round game: "No matter how long the two want to fight, this dinner is always to be eaten, but I am too tired to die, so I will start first." β
The irascible merchant glanced at it and found that in addition to bread and milk, it was completely unsatisfactory, and he snorted coldly: "The gas is full, these things, whoever likes to eat them!" β
Looking at his appearance, the shrewd merchant smiled secretly, he just wanted to provoke this guy's temper, and finally broke out of conflict with Anduin, and kicked him out of the deal, without this biggest opponent, it was easy for him to win the third merchant, but ...... Is this guy really that hungry?
The shrewd merchant's eyes lit up in surprise, because he saw that the third merchant instantly destroyed his own food, and quietly took the irascible merchant's portion, and it seemed that a dinner could not satisfy the other party's appetite at all.
At this time, the irascible merchant also noticed something abnormal, and couldn't help but glance at the shrewd merchant, and couldn't help asking, "You haven't eaten for a few days?" β
The third merchant ate his bread without saying a word, and had no intention of answering, but strangely enough, his expression was very entangled, obviously enjoying it but full of disbelief, which made the other two involuntarily look at the only one dinner left.
The shrewd businessman was not stingy, he gave the irascible businessman a piece of sweet bread, and the two of them put it in their mouths at the same time, and frowned at the same time, and the shrewd businessman looked puzzled: "I obviously want an ordinary meal, how can it taste so ......?"
"Delicious!"
The gobbling third merchant suddenly said, "I can guarantee that even the delicate bread of the Silver Palace will be slightly inferior!" β
The other two couldn't help but be silent, because they had also tasted the palace food, but as this commented, the daily food of the Stormstorm townspeople was actually more delicious than the fortress palace, what was the reason?
The grumpy merchant couldn't help but ask, "How much is this dinner?" β
The shrewd merchant was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "Don't ask, you should know." β
The third merchant saw the faces of the two, and also began to think about Anduin's decision, whether he was going to drag Stormwind Town to the funeral together? Or take the opportunity to extort a sum of money? Or does he really have the strength to guarantee sales?
The answer is actually quite simple......
The three merchants all looked at the closed window, and all they had to do was open it, and everything would be revealed!
But at this time, the three of them were afraid to find out the truth, so they could only watch the smoke and dust rise outside the window and freeze in place.
