Chapter 263: The Restaurant (Look at Three Points)
Although all eight dishes on the menu were green and gloomy, Rowan ordered each one.
As long as he does it deliberately, what he says will automatically translate into a language that everyone here can understand, so normal communication is not a problem.
Soon, all eight dishes were served.
Rowan looked at the eight-course dishes that were even more tragic than the ones on the menu, and casually said to the clerk, "Four more rice." ”
As a result, the clerk shook his head and said, "Sir, I'm sorry, we don't sell rice in our shop." ”
Rowan wondered, "Is it because rice is too expensive?" ”
The clerk shook his head helplessly: "This is also one of the reasons." But mainly because we are not aristocrats. Not a nobleman, not qualified to eat rare grains. ”
Luo Wen was stunned for a moment and said, "So you use these ubiquitous turquoise clouds instead of food?" By the way, are these really edible? ”
The clerk frowned, as if he couldn't understand why Rowan would ask such a question, but his professionalism was really high, and he still replied patiently: "Yes, Yuncai has the necessary nutrients needed by the human body, and it can be eaten as food." ”
Rowan nodded in thanks, and focused his attention on the eight dishes on the table.
And the clerk also shook his head and left, and said in his heart: "Is this person brain-hitting?" How come I don't even know this common sense! ”
Perhaps because there are so many dangerous sea beasts on the sea, the humans on this island never thought that anyone would come from the sea......
After the clerk left, Rowan picked up the chopsticks and inserted them into the bowl of "cloud soup".
The soup was green, with some dark green paste wafting in it, and a small green leaf floating on the noodle - it really seemed to be a green leaf plucked from the tree outside!
"It's not yet the point of gnawing on the bark."
While comforting himself in his heart, Rowan dipped some soup with chopsticks, and then carefully put it in his mouth and licked it slightly.
Qin Ying, Chopper, and Slime all stared at him without blinking, just waiting for him to get the result before considering whether to try it.
"At this time, I miss Doudou very much."
Rowan thought as he savored the taste of the soup in his mouth.
Surprisingly, this green soup is not unpleasant, and of course it is definitely not delicious.
In short, the soup is very light and has a slightly salty taste, which should be salted, and in addition to that, it has a bit of plastic-like taste......
Although Rowan has never drunk it, this may be the taste of the legendary "paper tea", right?
Then, he looked surprised as if he had tasted a peerless delicacy, and then exclaimed, "It's unexpectedly delicious!" ”
"Really?"
Seeing his reaction like this, Qin Ying and the two demon pets also picked up the tableware in disbelief, Qin Ying was very cautious and dipped some chopsticks to taste, but Chopper and Slime directly scooped a spoonful with a soup spoon to drink.
Of course, after drinking the soup, they are full of plastic......
Rowan ignored their glaring glances and continued to savor the other foods that followed.
As a result, whether it is cloud soup, cloud noodles, cloud paste, or fried clouds...... It's all the same taste!
Plastic, crunchy!
……
Rowan couldn't remember how long he hadn't left the food, but he really couldn't eat today's Yuncai feast!
So he quickly left the "Sea House" restaurant after paying the bill.
"If the diet in this world is at this level, then the human beings living here are really miserable!"
After leaving the "Sea House", Rowan entered the "bakery" next door, and found that this "bakery" sold cloud bread made from clouds!
What's even more terrifying is that this green and quiet bread is still salty!
Bread is not sweet and can be eaten?
At best, Rowan could only accept that the food contained in the bread was salty.
So he quickly quit and finally got a little idea of the island's restaurants.
"First of all, salt is a very readily available seasoning on this island, while sugar, on the other hand, is very hard to come by."
"Secondly, the food classification in this island is very serious, it is not that there are no foods such as rice, but all of them are monopolized by the aristocracy, making products such as rice almost equivalent to scarce luxuries! Under the rules set by the aristocracy, all the commoners could only eat unpalatable cloud vegetables. ”
"The class divide between nobles and commoners is even worse on this island than in Fernandi!"
"This status quo is not difficult to break, if you take raw materials from Fernandi to open a restaurant, then there is a 100% chance that the restaurant will be on fire, but then it will come into conflict with the nobles who do not allow commoners to eat or sell such things......"
"Of course, I'm not afraid of the nobility here. The question now is, what benefits will I get from this island if I open a restaurant here? ”
Businessmen seek profits, although Rowan is not a qualified businessman, but he also has the basic qualities of a businessman.
He could ignore the rules and open a restaurant for the general public, but since he paid the price, he would want to reap the benefits!
In general, direct benefits are not realistic.
Basically, they need to benefit indirectly through the local currency, that is, use the local currency to buy rare goods that Fernandine does not have, and then sell them at a high price.
That is, "smuggling" in the popular sense.
In order to maximize the profits, it is necessary to find out what exactly are the products suitable for "smuggling" on the island?
As a result, no matter what he thought, the substances that were in this island and that Fernandine did not have were only those turquoise clouds called "cloud vegetables"!
"But would anyone like to eat plastic?"
Apparently not!
Those cloud vegetables themselves do not have the effects of making people healthy, increasing longevity, increasing magic power, etc., they are just ordinary substances that can replace food.
This kind of food is so uncharacteristic that it can attract the curiosity of some people, and then it will gradually become something that no one cares about.
"Come to think of it, I really don't have a reason to open a restaurant on this island."
Rowan thought for a long time, but in the end he could only come to such a conclusion.
Then a group of guards with spears suddenly poured out of the alley and surrounded them!
"That's you, travelers from the other side of the sea!"
When they were surrounded, a middle-aged man who looked polite at first glance walked out from behind the guards, staring at Rowan and Qin Ying coldly.
……
After all, Rowan and Qin Ying's dress did not match the humans on this island, and there didn't seem to be any monsters like slimes and Choppers on this island, so when they walked in the castle, they were actually quite eye-catching.
And because there have been some kind of murders on this island in recent days, which makes the streets and alleys full of eyeliner, so they looked quite unusual and were discovered early.
And Luo Wen's Q&A with the clerk in the "Sea House" naturally entered the ears of those who cared.
So in the end, some people speculated that they should not be from this island!
Further, the reason for the inexplicable arrest of the "Strange Thief Shadow" was also pushed on them, so the owner of this island, the lord of the castle, brought the elite warriors of the island to all the islands and surrounded Rowan and his party!
It's just that the elegant middle-aged man who comes forward now is not the lord of the castle, but a general under the lord of the castle - "Tyrant Fox" Eddie!
As for the lord of the castle himself, he was watching from the top of the building not far away, along with the rest of the warriors.
For the fierce man who can capture the "Monster Thief Shadow", the lord of the castle is not stupid enough to come out and confront him head-on!
First send someone to test the other party, find out the details of the other party, and finally judge how to deal with the other party according to the strength of the other party - in short, the basic process of the enemy is the same.
Eddie, known as the "Violent Fox", is tasked with temptation.
Once the opponent's strength is even weaker than imagined, then what Eddie will do is to take down the opponent directly, mercilessly, and strictly torture in order to recapture the slate fragments on the body of the "Monster Thief Shadow"!
A "Shadow of the Thief" with no slate fragments will have no effect on the Lord of the Castle!
So when Eddie addressed Rowan and others, he first used a neutral word like "traveler".
Rowan was not so surprised that he and the others were discovered, but he chuckled and said, "What? Are you here to thank me for helping you catch the criminals? ”
Add's expression changed slightly, and his eyes flickered: "Sure enough, the Monster Thief Shadow is defeated in your hands!" It seems that you are also the holder of the magic stone shard? ”
"Magic stones? Is that what you call the Mystic Slate? Rowan felt that there was no need to deny it, so he nodded and said, "I have a lot of that thing, do you want it?" ”
Addison said coldly: "Then we have to see if Your Excellency is qualified to hold the magic stone!" ”
Then he waved his hand, and a pale red aura overflowed from his hand, wrapping around his hand like firelight.
And a guard behind him also suddenly stepped forward and took the initiative to wipe Eddie's hand on his body!
"Whew!"
The reddish aura spread up and down the guard's body like real firelight.
In the next moment, the guard's eyes suddenly widened, his eyes burst into red light as if they had been roasted, the strength of his limbs suddenly skyrocketed, and the clothes on his body were torn apart by layers of muscles!
"Whew!"
The guards howled like beasts and lunged at Rowan!
……
"Here we go!"
The lord of the castle, who was hiding in a nearby building, couldn't help but whisper.
The Shadow Stone that can sneak into the shadows is an extremely terrifying Assassination and Reconnaissance Magic Stone, and he is determined to get it!
A green-haired shawl beside him, a feminine man with a bit of a murderous demeanor, also sneered: "City Lord, how long do you say those two can last?" ”
The lord of the castle said, "The woman has no power to fight, and the one who catches the shadow should be the man." But there is a Shengke relationship between the magic stones, and it can't be said that he is stronger than the demon shadow because he caught the demon shadow. And Add's magic stone is a magic stone that manipulates people and stimulates their potential, and now with so many guards by his side, he will not lose. ”
……
So in his inexplicably confident gaze, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from behind Rowan, and just slapped the guard away.
"Bang!"
The slapping guard slammed into the low wall, and the entire low wall collapsed with him.
But the guards didn't stop there.
His reason has been manipulated, and now he only has to rush up and fight!
"Kill, kill, kill!"
There is no fear, no pain.
As his physical potential continues to be stimulated, his strength grows exponentially.
"Roar!"
There was another low roar, and as soon as the guard stepped on the ground, his entire body turned into a red shadow and burst out, pounced on Rowan again.
But halfway through, his body froze suddenly, and then flew upside down at a faster speed than before, slamming into "Violent Fox" Add.
Add's expression changed dramatically, and he hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, his fingers lit up red, and he touched the guard beside him twice.
The two guards beside him were controlled by his power, and the muscles of their bodies instantly swelled, and they had swelled to the point that they were even stronger than the first guard on the way forward!
At the same time, the potential is stimulated, and the power that each person is stimulated is different according to the physical fitness of the manipulated person and the amount of energy injected into their body.
But if you stimulate too much potential, you can even make people die suddenly after an outbreak!
Add's power is not as simple as it seems, it is actually an extremely dangerous power!
The two guards who had just been manipulated rushed forward, and each of them swung a palm, directly slapping the first guard who hit him into the air, and then howled and pounced on Rowan!
The first guard who was shot out of the way, although he was rolling on the ground covered in blood, got up again without fear, followed by the two guards, and pounced on Rowan again.
In the face of the fearless charge of the three guards, Rowan only stood in place and did not move, and this level of enemy was barely enough to move Chopper, which was not worth mentioning.
"Bang bang bang!"
With three loud bangs, three muscle bumps flew out upside down, knocking the surrounding onlookers into a back-to-back horse.
Eddie was suddenly a little anxious, and hurriedly grabbed a nearby guard, and the red light in his hand was wildly injected into the guard's body, causing the guard's body to change rapidly, and even the bones were rapidly elongated and thickened, completely turning into a terrifying muscular man nearly three meters tall!
Chopper's eyes lit up, and he used the [King Kong Body] at the moment, and his small body trembled slightly, and he quietly completed a layer of strengthening.
Then, his body flew out like a shuttle, kicking the three-meter muscular man into the sky, and then jumped up, receiving a palm, a kick, a palm, a kick......
Rowan seemed to be able to see "+1", "+2", "+3" in the head of the muscular man...... 's streak stats are constantly refreshed.
