CHAPTER XXIV

The white-haired Horton is not famous in the city, and many locals may not know the name of the new city lord, but it is impossible that they have not heard the name of the white-haired Horton. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Horton's good noodles, from the age of sixteen to the age of seventy-six this year, have been cooking noodles for 60 years, and there is no one who has eaten his noodles that is not good. His heart became calmer. He found it difficult for him to go further in his Taoism, so at such an advanced age, he still got up early every day and went to the city to sell noodles, hoping to reach the last step in his lifetime.

And today, Horton's calm heart was disturbed, and a young man aroused his competitive spirit. Horton stopped talking, picked up the dough and rolled it out, a thin noodle has been made in minutes, the water in the pot has been boiled at this time, Horton has added some cold water to the pot to readjust the water temperature, put the noodles into the water and stir slightly, and then picked up an empty bowl to add various seasonings, to add the seasoning, the heat of the noodles is just right, immediately overheated water into the bowl, and spread a fine layer of meat foam on it, while decorating a few unknown leaves, a bowl of steaming noodles in front of Wu Wei, Wipe your hands on the white cloth, stretch out your right hand, and say please! After that, he put all his attention on Wu Wei's expression.

Wu Wei saw that the old man was called the king of noodles, and he made a bowl of noodles for himself so seriously, he didn't feel more and more cautious. Wu Wei brought the noodles on the table to his side with both hands, first used an empty bowl to fill some warm water and rinsed his mouth, and then picked up chopsticks to pick up a lock of noodles, only to see that it was covered with fine meat foam, and put it in his mouth with a green vegetable to taste it carefully.

Horton couldn't help but smile when he saw Wu Wei's reaction. It's been a long time since he's made a bowl of noodles with a competitive spirit, and when he made this bowl of noodles, it was as if he was back in his youth, and he was in the days of daily competition with his brothers and sisters. I faintly touched the line.

"The noodles are smooth, the meat foam is crispy and delicious, the noodle soup is salty, fresh and slightly sour and spicy, and the green vegetables inside are even more fragrant, which is really a unique product!" Wu Wei woke up and immediately praised.

Horton smiled and bent over, and said, "It's just for your few compliments, and it's worth making this bowl of noodles for you." ”

Wu Wei tasted it again and couldn't help nodding secretly, but saw Xiaobei on the side looking at herself with starry eyes, as well as the noodles in her hand, so she pushed the bowl to her, she didn't care that Wu Wei had just eaten, she took out a pair of chopsticks and tasted it like Wu Wei, and then continued to eat it with light in her eyes.

Wu Wei ignored him anymore, turned back to Horton and said, "Come and don't be rude, how about using the old gentleman's noodle stall to borrow flowers and offer Buddha, and make a bowl of wontons for you to return the gift." ”

"Of course it's good, you can take whatever you want." Horton, of course, wanted to taste the wonton in Wu Wei's mouth, and decided to fully cooperate.

"Is there any fresh meat here?" Wu Wei asked.

"There's just some good beef in the house, so I'll get it." Horton replied happily, and then ran into the house to get the beef.

Wu Wei tasted all the seasonings on the noodle stall, and the gap between them and the real world is not big, the difficult thing is the filling, what ingredients are used to match with beef? Wu Wei suddenly thought that the black mushrooms that were accompanying the Netherworld Mushroom still had a lot left, and he had super high recovery power, and this slow recovery potion did not have much effect on himself, so he might as well take out a few plants as ingredients. Thinking of this, he didn't hesitate, took out a few plants and cleaned them in clean water, cut them into fine foam, and waited for Horton to bring the beef Wu Wei had just cut it, Wu Wei smelled the meat that Horton took, which smelled similar to the beef in the real world, and selected a small piece of beef and chopped it finely, plus mushrooms, and carefully stirred all kinds of spices, rolled out the wonton skin, and wrapped it seriously.

Wu Wei has been helping in front of his wonton stall since he was a child, although the original craftsmanship is good, but it is still far from the level of the craftsman, and now Wu Wei's perception and agility attributes have increased significantly, making Wu Wei's skills to a new level, and using black mushrooms similar to Dibao as fillings, the wontons made are comparable to Horton's face.

When a bowl of wontons is cooked, Horton looks delicious, and he feels that he has benefited a lot from the different way of making wontons. Scooping up a wonton with a wooden spoon, Horton observed it for a while before putting it in his mouth and chewing it slowly, and when his taste buds touched the food, Horton was stunned and sat there quietly for a long time. Wu Wei didn't know what the wontons he made tasted, so he just silently stayed by Horton's side, and Xiaobei didn't know where to go to play.

It took a long time for Horton to return to his senses, and he found that he had shed two lines of tears, and after being silent for a long time, he suddenly stood up and bowed to Wu Wei. The incident happened suddenly, and when Wu Wei reacted, he had already been bowed by Horton, and hurriedly jumped up and helped Horton up. Busy said: "You are tormenting me, why is this?" ”

Horton got up and said, "The old man's name is Horton, may I ask the name of the little brother." ”

Wu Wei hesitated for a moment and said: "My name is Wu Wei, and I don't want others to know my identity, so I hope that the old gentleman will keep it secret." ”

"It's natural, you tell me your real name and you look up to me. Don't dare to reveal your name or surname. ”

Wu Wei asked again: "What was the old gentleman just now?" ”

Horton said slowly: "I have been pursuing the ultimate in noodles all my life and have forgotten that this is just food for people to eat, and I have always wanted to satisfy others, but I have forgotten that I am also a part of the food taste." The moment I ate the chaos you made, I realized that I hadn't tasted food for a long time, I hadn't eaten any other food except the noodles I made over the years, and I was about to fall into the devil's path, but fortunately, I met my little brother, it seems that I have some way to go again. ”

Wu Wei knew that Horton should have had another epiphany, and he took another step forward in his extreme face, and he was also happy for him. After Wu Wei and Horton have been discussing pasta, Horton made a few bowls of noodles for Wu Wei to taste, and recommended Wu Wei to a few ingredients in the unknown world, the two studied the proportion of fillings together, Wu Wei also told Horton all the skills of wontons, Horton only pursued noodles all his life, and knew that the practice of wontons can also play a role in some reference, the two of you come and go, and when you notice the time, it is already dawn, and you almost miss the time to set up a stall for breakfast.

Horton and Wu Wei decided to go into the city together to try to make the wonton noodles they had developed, and Wu Wei hurriedly helped Horton set up the stall, woke up Becky who was sleeping soundly on the tree, and hurried to the Federal City. Now that it was getting bright and the sun was rising, Horton was driving the carriage, and the horses pulling the carriage were not too big, like real-world ponies. It's not fast, but it's steady.

Approaching the door, Wu Weiyao saw that the huge suspension bridge had been lowered, and there were cars and people on the road, and many people were queuing up at the gate to wait for the inspection of the guards at the gate. Wu Wei covered his face with the mask, looked at Xiaobei again, and pointed to the mask. Becky nodded in understanding, and the white light flickered into the mask. Wu Wei glanced at Horton, obviously he had found out that Xiaobei was a soul but didn't care, or he was acting very ordinary, still rushing to grab time.

When he arrived at the city, Wu Wei really felt the enormity of the Federation City, and looked up at the high city walls, an unshakable momentum was shocking. I really don't know what kind of enemy can match such a city defense. Two rows of guards stood at the gates, dressed in fine armor and holding halberds that glittered in the sunlight.

Wu Wei had 11 points of perception at this moment, and tried to activate Xiaobei's detection skills. "Skill Detection is successfully activated, and the target attributes are: Level 12, Health 2500, Physical Strength 210, Energy 210, Defense 280, Attack Power 220-300, Strength 15, Intelligence 4, Agility 8, Perception 5, Endurance 10, Charisma 4. Skills: Impale (Ignores the opponent's defense), Shelter (Increases defense by 10% for nearby companions), Additional Status: Radiant Protector (Recovers 2% of life per second while in the Guardian Circle, increases Critical Strike Rate by 50%)"

The system prompt sounded, and related content appeared in Wu Wei's mind.

Wu Wei stuck out his tongue in fright, thinking that this ordinary city guard should have reached the level of an elite warrior, and his attribute value completely crushed Wu Wei, but under the protection of high-attribute armor, he should be able to slowly grind one to death with the weapon's poison attribute, dark attribute damage and high recovery power, if two or three come up together, if you hit a critical hit when you launch the skill, you can kill yourself in seconds, it seems that you still have to hurry up the rhythm of upgrading.

Wu Wei saw that Horton did not run towards the gate, but drove the car towards a side door next to him. At the side door, a red-cloaked captain of the guard was talking to a cyan cler. Seeing Horton coming over, he stopped talking and shouted at him, "Why is Mr. Horton here so late today?" ”

Horton pulled the carriage and said to the captain of the guard, "I'm old, and many things are not as good as before!" I just made a friend and forgot the time, so I hurried to the city, and I had to borrow from you, otherwise I would miss the hour, but I'm sorry for those old customers. ”

"Oh, it's rare to be your friend, this is it." The captain of the guard glanced at Wu Wei who was wearing a mask, and then looked at the priest, seeing that the priest nodded slightly to him, he continued: "It looks really young, sir, let's hurry in, it is estimated that my mother is queuing up there, if you know that I am delaying your time here, you have to clean me up when you go back." ”

With a wave of his hand, the side door opened from the inside. Horton didn't say much, and drove into the city with a nod. Wu Wei also smiled slightly, unimpressed.
