Chapter 056: Gourmet
The Xuanwu Continent is vast, and in addition to the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom, there are dozens of countries, large and small.
The Great Moon Country is a small country located in the west, separated from the Tenryu Kingdom by a strait, and its citizens have iconic blue pupils that are easily recognizable.
A month ago, the old lord of the Great Moon Kingdom felt old and wanted to pass on the throne to Prince Lynch, but on the day of the ceremony, a sudden rainstorm fell, and after the ceremony was briefly suspended, the prince disappeared.
"Report to the lord of the kingdom, and the prince left a letter. "The guards searched the palace like crazy, and found only one clue like this.
The old lord hurriedly unfolded the letter paper, his brows furrowed.
The minister next to him was worried: "Lord, what did the prince say?"
The old lord sighed: "The handwriting is so wet by the rain that I can't recognize a single word." ”
The minister took it and looked at it, and the ink was stained, and he really didn't know what was written.
......
In the afternoon, the wharf of Yunjiang County is the busiest time of the day, unloading, taking boats, selling small things, crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder.
Not long after, an ocean-going cargo ship with a deep draft docked, and the dock workers rushed up, reporting the price of labor, and the cargo owner ordered a few people and began to move and unload the goods.
Unexpectedly, in the corner of the warehouse, there was a young man with famous blue eyes, and while people were not paying attention, the young man secretly overturned the boat, looked around curiously, and breathed in the fresh air of the Yunjiang River.
This person is none other than Lynch, the crown prince of the Great Moon Kingdom, who has finally arrived at his destination after a journey of more than half a month.
Some people may ask why a dignified crown prince crossed the ocean and came to such a remote town as Yunjiang County.
The main thing is that Lynch has had a hobby since he was a child, a love of food.
And he is in the royal family and has a rich family, so he ate Dayue Country at a young age, and he also won the title of a gourmet.
I heard that there are countless delicacies in the Dragon Country, and Lynch began to learn the language of the Dragon Country very early, just to be able to go to the Dragon Country to taste the food in person one day.
But I didn't expect the old lord to pass on to himself so soon, and once he became the lord of the country, he couldn't leave the palace, just like going to prison.
In order to have no regrets in his life, Lynch left a letter and asked the old lord to hold on for a few months, and then go back to accept the position of lord after he finished traveling to the Dragon Kingdom.
Lynch retracted his thoughts, unfolded a map in his hand, and said to himself: "Well, let's start eating from Yunjiang County, and strive to eat the Tianlong Kingdom in three months." ”
......
Lin Qixing hurriedly entered the county seat, looking for different food, but he looked around and was disappointed more than expected.
Because most of the chefs of the Heavenly Dragon Kingdom in the East and West Royal Palaces have done it, it is not unusual, and the most important thing is that some snacks don't look very clean.
For example, he saw an aunt who made ramen with his own eyes, spit and rubbed her hands before starting to knead the noodles.
But Lynch was so hungry that he was going to buy a scone.
The scones in Yunjiang County are baked golden brown, and the appearance is brushed with a layer of honey, which looks very good.
"Boss, how much does it cost to get me a scone?" Lynch said, ready to pay for it.
The stall owner looked at Lynch: "Twenty wen." ”
Lynch was stunned, he was rich, but it didn't mean that he was a fool, obviously everyone else was five cents a piece of cake, why did he have to ask for twenty cents when he came here?
But Lynch reacted instantly, because his eyes were blue and he spoke with an accent, he looked like a foreigner and was easy to be cheated on.
Lynch hesitated for a moment, but finally took out twenty cents, for the sake of food, he could put up with this slight unfairness.
Picking up a hot scone, the aroma was so fragrant that Lynch immediately took a bite of it.
Click, the scones smelled good, but they were as hard as stone, and Lynch's front teeth were about to break.
Tearing hard and chewing a few bites, Lynch's cheeks were sore, and he was almost desperate.
If I knew that this was the result, I shouldn't have come all the way.
He was hesitating whether to continue north or return to the Great Moon Country when Lynch suddenly smelled a foul smell.
At the same time, passers-by on the street seemed to be crazy: "Ah, Boss Qin has started selling stinky tofu, brother rush!"
"I didn't make it yesterday, so I have to eat it today. ”
Lynch thought it was incredible, something that smelled stinky, why would so many people seek it out?
Out of curiosity, Lynch followed the crowd to the outside of the otherworldly snack bar.
At this time, there were already twenty or thirty people queuing up at the entrance of the snack bar, and the shopkeeper did not look very old, and he was frying a black object in the oil pan, from which the stench came from.
Lynch covered his nose and asked a queuer: "Dare to ask Brother Tai, can this thing really be eaten?"
"It smells bad and it smells good. The passerby looked at Lynch for a moment, "Well, I don't understand you as a foreigner." ”
Lynch was speechless for a while, but this also completely aroused his curiosity, anyway, they all came, but to see what smelled and tasted, so they lined up at the back of the crowd.
The shopkeeper can fry more than 20 pieces of stinky tofu at a time, eight pieces per serving, and each person is limited to one piece, and the team moves forward slowly.
Every diner who bought stinky tofu was so fascinated that it made Lynch look forward to it more and more.
There were ten more people, and it was his turn, Lynch counted several times, but at this moment, someone behind him pulled him: "Exotic Fanbang? Lean back!"
Lynch was not angry, and was about to theorize, but saw that the other party was tall and tall, and considering that he was in a foreign land, the hero did not suffer the loss in front of him, so he had to give up his position.
Fortunately, there was no one behind to bully Lynch, and the team kept shortening, and after a stick of incense, only one person was left to take Lynch's turn.
However, at this moment, the shopkeeper suddenly said: "I'm sorry everyone, the stinky tofu is sold out, thank you for the same time tomorrow." ”
The diners let out a long sigh and were unwilling to disperse.
Lynch was stunned, somehow, a grievance permeated his heart, he came across the ocean, was slaughtered, cut in line, and finally lined himself up, and the stinky tofu was sold out again.
The prince, who had been pampered since childhood, squatted aside, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
"If you can't eat stinky tofu, do you need to cry?" a gentle male voice sounded, and Lynch looked up, it was the shopkeeper who had just fried stinky tofu.
"I'll keep this for you as a snack. The shopkeeper gave him a piece of stinky tofu wrapped in brown paper.
Lynch was stunned, picked up a piece of stinky tofu and put it in his mouth, and the delicacy was like a lightning bolt, running through his body.
All the grievances became insignificant, and Lynch burst into tears and laughed: "Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, rich in seasoning, really delicious." ”
"Men don't flick if they have tears, don't cry in the future. The shopkeeper shook his head and smiled, and was about to go back to the store.
Lynch hurriedly took out his purse: "By the way, I haven't paid yet." ”
"These stinky tofu are damaged, and they are not for sale, so please treat you. The shopkeeper said.
Lynch's eyes suddenly turned red again: "Why are you so good to a foreigner?"
"Because our ancestors said that if a friend comes from afar, he ...... far away," the shopkeeper coughed, "Aren't you happy?"
