Chapter 31: The First Shock of Earth's Cuisine
"It happened suddenly, so everyone has been waiting for a long time, don't talk much, let's start dinner now!"
Anduin wasn't prepared to make a "touching" and generous statement before eating, because in the face of hunger, that thing is bullshit!
Then, in the expectant eyes, many attendants walked out of the corridors on both sides with trays, and everyone was curious to observe what was on the tray, but they showed a strange look, just because the vegetables and meat on the tray were all uncooked, which made Jones and others, who had long been mentally prepared, directly dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Anduin didn't do it, so he let people bring it up!
That's too deceptive, isn't it?
Even if you're different, we're all normal!
The hall was quiet, the pin drop could be heard, Anduin couldn't stop laughing, this is what he wanted, the surprise after the disappointment was often the most impressive.
Van Cleef snorted, only to feel a chill in his heart, and the expectation that had been going on for many days suddenly came to an end, so he couldn't help but ask: "Lord Earl, let's eat this?" ”
Anduin nodded and admitted as a matter of course, and the building leader moved his mouth, a little glad that he never gave up exercising, and ate a little lettuce to satisfy his hunger, and he could always survive tonight, but the ordinary townspeople were not so lucky.
The old man, who had advocated that the townspeople should wait, was now sitting beside Anduin, quite old, with good teeth, and six soldiers still at their posts, and he saw a table full of dishes, and pondered what he should eat in order to avoid losing his army.
The other townspeople also began to frown, but they could only choose to accept it, because they gave so much, they couldn't leave without giving face.
At this time, the most angry person was none other than Kidd, the head of the referee, who endured not arranging a private room, and also endured eating at the same table with the townspeople, but it was a meal without sincerity...... Ahh
Seeing that he was about to have a seizure, Jones immediately smiled and said: "Don't worry, archbishop, don't you see that you don't even have tableware, Earl Anduin must still be selling guanzi, wait, there must be a surprise." ”
Although Jones did not believe what he said, he did tell the truth, and the others found out about it, and they all comforted themselves that the situation would be reversed, and everyone waited until the attendants came out again with the trays, and this time there was not only something that might be called cutlery, but also a lot of dishes and two kinds of fragrant sauces.
The old man was well-informed and immediately smelled the smell: "This is made of sesame seeds?" ”
"Old man Kane, you have such a nice nose!"
Anduin smiled slightly and prepared two sauces for him, but old Kane was puzzled again: "Lord Earl, even if you dip this thing, it will not become mature...... And these two thin sticks, what do they do? ”
Syllable!
"What do I care what it does?"
Kidd got up angrily and walked away, but Jones hurriedly stopped: "Archbishop Kidd, if you have something to say!" ”
"Humph! What else is there to say? ”
Kidd glared at Anduin with great annoyance: "I heard that you have found an unprecedented lost cookbook from the New World, so you are planning to open this tavern inn, if the food you are talking about is this, I admit that what you said is true, because in my impression, only primitive humans would choose this kind of life of hairy and blood, and it is not surprising, after all, even if there are aborigines in the New World, they are just a bunch of barbarians." ”
Hearing this, Anduin frowned, he originally wanted to explain, but now he didn't even have the mood to explain, and the mud bodhisattva also had three points of anger, not to mention him, Anduin got up slowly and said lightly: "You are not my ideal customer, you can't send it if you go slowly." ”
Archbishop Kidd snorted angrily and shook his hand away, Jones saw that the two broke up instantly, and there was no chance to stop it, and he couldn't say anything now, so he could only chase out and explain to Anduin, Jones could really get in touch with the top of the fortress, and he knew how cruel this class was, even if Anduin was a nobleman and far away in Stormwind Town, Kidd had a lot of means to make Anduin's business unable to continue.
Seeing Jones leaving, several explorers who had long wanted to escape also got up, but they couldn't help but think that they were all gone, so they forcibly pressed the only bearded dwarf to stay, and the dwarf strong man could only shake his head and sigh without tears when he saw his companions disappear quickly.
And the townspeople also have the same expressions, but no matter what, they have no reason to leave today's dinner, and Kidd doesn't show mercy to Anduin, so they must behave to make the lord have face!
Old Kane had already decided to let go of it, and even if he lost all his teeth, he would have to eat a lot to make Anduin happy.
If they don't give face to their lords, what will happen?
There was such a farce, Anduin's mood was not affected much, anyway, it was not him who lost the most, as for Jones leaving, it was a pity, but there was still this dwarf alone, then everything was not a problem!
After putting the dishes full of sauces and several kinds of tableware in front of everyone, Anduin asked people to invite today's main owner - hot pot, to be precise, it is a magic version of hot pot, after all, the time is too rushed, there is no way to make suitable utensils, so you can only collect pots and utensils from the townspeople, and then modify them to ensure that there is enough fire source below.
"Huh! Isn't this my family's pot? ”
"yes, the one over there is my family! When Officer Ed asked me to borrow a pot, I wondered what the Earl was going to do, it turned out to be used here! ”
"Look, there's still soup in the pot, tsk, there's a lot of chili peppers floating there, it is estimated that the earl is afraid that we won't be able to digest it, so he specially prepared it!"
"Hey, I can't see it, didn't you notice that there's still a fire under the pot? If you want me to say, it's definitely not for drinking, Lord Earl is so good, how can you let us eat raw? ”
"You don't mean to say that the Earl is going to let us cook and eat it, do you? These things are all raw, and when they are cooked, it will be time for the Winter Veil Festival! ”
"It's good to have something to eat, don't be so demanding!"
The townsfolk whispered and argued about the role of the hot pot, and Anduin laughed at the scene, but he was also not idle, standing up and demonstrating how to use chopsticks, although he also prepared regular cutlery, but after all, it was not as convenient as chopsticks.
Suddenly, all the townspeople began to try chopsticks, and Anduin couldn't help but smile when he looked at their clumsy appearance: "You have to study hard, although I have prepared enough ingredients, but eat more and eat less, it all depends on your ability." ”
The strong Van Cleef learned quickly, and his excellent muscle control allowed him to immediately master the essence of using chopsticks, and a piece of mutton was picked up and put down by him again and again, which was very easy and freehand, but the bearded dwarf next to him was not so lucky, and the thick short fingers became the biggest obstacle in front of him, and after a challenge, he could only rely on friction to pick up a piece of mutton, and finally threw it directly into the hot pot because of hand tremors.
The bearded dwarf felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stretched out his chopsticks to clamp it, but the meat slices were churning up and down in the red soup, and he could always dodge his unfamiliar chopsticks just right, and finally Van Cleef couldn't stand it, so he picked it up casually, looked at the meat slices that were no longer red and tender in color, and wondered: "Is this cooked?" ”
Anduin laughed and said nothing, the diet of the Holy Empire cannot be said to be unpalatable, but it is extremely monotonous, Anduin's food these days, in addition to bread and cheese, is grilled fish and grilled meat, there are very few tricks, no wonder Van Cleef is so surprised.
Looking at Anduin's eyes, Van Cleef ate it in disbelief, and everyone looked at him nervously, but the building chief was expressionless, and his brows even frowned slightly, and then in the gaze of Daodao, he picked up a piece of mutton and scalded it in the pot, and then said: "I'll try the dipping sauce!" ”
Immediately afterwards, Van Cleef wrapped the mutton with a tahini sauce and began to taste it for the second time, but before he could swallow it in his mouth, he hurriedly put down the chopsticks for the third time.
For a while, the hall was filled with the sound of chopsticks colliding, old Kane heard it itching in his heart, so he picked up the colander specially prepared by Anduin, and made a slice for himself, and then put it into his mouth with a fork, chewing it carefully but expectantly, his eyes couldn't help but show a surprise light, he only felt that the taste of fresh mutton was unexpected, and all taste buds were suddenly covered by a rich but not stimulating aroma, and the mouth full of raw fragrance made his index finger move, and he couldn't help but speed up his chewing, but suddenly his face changed, and he screamed bitterly.
Everyone at the main table couldn't help but wonder, they ate so much that they didn't even want to say a word, why did old Kane have such an expression?
Then the next scene made him cry and laugh, it turned out that the old man ate too quickly, and accidentally let a little brother rush too violently and died heroically!
Old Kane held the broken tooth and sighed: "Old man, it's not that Old Kane doesn't take care of you, it's that Lord Earl's meal is so delicious that he loses his teeth!" ”
Hearing this, everyone around them burst into laughter, and then remembered that they had patronized and eaten, but no one commented.
Van Cleef stretched out his chopsticks and said to Anduin without twisting his head: "Count Anduin, what is this thing called?" ”
Anduin saw that his eyes were always wandering in the pot, and said with a slight smile: "Hot pot." ”
"There is a fire, there is a pot, the words are concise, and the subtlety is extreme!"
Old Kane nodded repeatedly, only to suddenly find the bearded dwarf staring at him, no, to be exact, at the colander in his hand.
Anduin saw that the dish sauce in front of the dwarf did not move at all, holding chopsticks in his right hand and a fork in his left hand, his face turned red with anxiety, and suddenly realized that he had ignored a serious problem despite all his calculations, and immediately found another colander spoon, which allowed the bearded dwarf to taste the delicious taste of hot pot.
Compared with the use of a colander, he is more imposing than old Kane, and he brings up a large number of ingredients and condiments with a single fish, regardless of whether it is cooked or not, and he is not ready to dip the sauce, he directly stuffs it into his mouth and chews it, even if he is hot, he is stunned to give Anduin a thumbs up.
He was glad to think of his companions who had left him here, otherwise how could he have eaten such a delicious thing?
If he was asked to describe how delicious the hot pot was in words, he thought that he couldn't find the right words, and he didn't have time to tell Anduin what he wanted, so he could only turn his thoughts into action, and join the battle for delicious food with everyone in the hall with a harder fighting attitude!
