"I'm so sorry. Because there have already been victims, in order to take care of the emotions of the families of the deceased, it is not possible to hold a large banquet for the whole village to welcome you. This is how Uncle Jike, the head of Blakenell Village, replied to the three men with the troll's claws.

"yes, I understand." Harold nodded in reply.

"But the three young ladies must have dinner at my house tonight and stay overnight. This is my gratitude to you on behalf of the villagers of this village. "This forty-year-old rural uncle spoke very sincerely.

Lilina still had a ladylike smile on her board.

Harold's expression stiffened a little.

"Poof! Ha ha. Edith covered her mouth and snickered.

"What's wrong?" The village chief was a little confused. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Nope! No! We'll stay tonight. Edith waved her hand.

"Oh." The village chief left his seat and went out with a confused expression.

Harold sat back in his seat, his palms over his forehead in annoyance.

At this time, the village chief's shout came from outside the door: "Wife, now make a few side dishes, I'll kill a pig!" Now, Noelle, stop playing with a twig as a sword, and call your brother's boy back. Let him and a few of his fox friends and dog friends quickly disperse, and they all dispersed. Don't get together all day thinking about crusading against the trolls, the adventurers from the city have already killed the trolls, shout this news in the village by the way, and have a meeting tomorrow. ”

After listening to the village chief's shout, Lilina turned her head and asked Harold, "Senior, senior sister." What do we do now? Staying in this village tonight? ”

Harold was about to answer, but was preempted by Edith.

"We don't know what to do." As she spoke, a pair of eyes turned to Harold. "Miss Harold, you're more experienced, what shall we do now?"

Edith asked with a sincere face, or a sincere face.

"Mr. Edith! I don't see any sincerity in your face. Harold glared at Edith in response. He thought to himself, "If you are honest with this little girl, you will really lose." ”

"I think I should stay in the village. If you rush to the city now, you won't find a hotel until at least the early hours of the morning, otherwise you'll have to sleep in the wilderness. And the village is relatively close to the next mission point. ”

With that, Harold poured himself a glass of boiling water, warmed his hands, and took a sip.

"Well, I've been to the countryside here a lot of times. The country food in this place is good and the amount is quite sufficient. I guess you haven't tasted it, so you can try it. ”

Edith and Lilina glanced at each other, and they both realized that although Harold had a cold face most of the time, he was very good at some times, but they didn't know what was affecting him.

"For example, in the rural areas of this area, we will make just the right vegetable soup, beat the tomatoes into a puree and pour water into the water to wash them away, and add shiitake mushrooms, corn, mushrooms, broccoli, potatoes, and onions and cut them into cubes and stew them in cubes. At the end, I will add some homemade seasonings. Oh, and people here put some dried fish in it, and further inland they put dried breadsticks. ”

Lilina, the snack merchant, immediately came to her senses, and she put her arms on the table with some excitement and asked, "Anything else?" Anything else? Seniors, what else will they do! ”

"Charcoal-grilled pig's trotters, served with wheat cake and grilled seaweed, this is the main dish of the people here to receive guests, and you will definitely see it later."

"Uh-huh!!" Lilina kept nodding, and she didn't interrupt Harold's science in the slightest.

Edith listened quietly.

"Well, fried tenderloin, stewed pork ribs, crispy pork chops, pork bone broth, these are estimated to be available. It's just that I can't guess for sure, because it's one of three desserts after a meal, if it's simpler, it will be a small apple pie or cheese, and if it's more complicated, it's a filling of shrimp or shell meat, and the outside is mixed with sugar and mayonnaise. ”

Lilina listened, and leaned on the table, her hands clutching her stomach under the table.

Harold noticed the change in Lilina's movements: "Lilina? What happened to you? ”

"It's okay, senior, you go on!" Lilina said resolutely and resolutely, and then she added in her heart: "Lilina, you can bear this little thing!" ”

Harold took a sip of water and continued his science, talking, I don't know how long, the bottom of the sunset outside the window had begun to touch the horizon.

"The dish is ready!! Keeping the guests waiting. ”

Before the door of the room opened, the deep shouts of the village chief outside the house came into the house.

With a "hula", the door opened, and the village chief and a sturdy-looking half-sized man carried a cauldron into the house.

The two were followed by a middle-aged woman and a girl who looked a bit tomboy and had short linen hair in her mid-teens.

It is estimated that it is the wife, son and daughter of the village chief.

The cauldron turned on, and all the dishes that Harold had just mentioned won the bid. And the dessert, sure enough, is also the seafood gnocchi in the dessert selection that Harold mentioned.
