"That's right! Barrett, you're back, and I don't have to stand in front of me alone. The cat boy scratched his forehead in realization.

Barrett touched his nose: "If I am wrong, Lalu's fist and foot kung fu should have a foundation in reality!" Haven't you ever learned a short-handled routine before? ”

"Short handle? Do you mean weapons? What's the use of learning that kind of thing? The cat boy who heard this was at a loss!

"None? That's right! In reality, what good can weapons be? Barrett, who said this, suddenly stopped, "Wait! Then why do you practice fist and foot kung fu! ”

"Isn't this a way to make you agile? And it is more convenient to teach those disciples a lesson. The cat boy tilted his head and said as a matter of course.

"Teach the disciples?" Barrett subconsciously glanced back at Elly, and then patted Lalu's head: "If you don't make any adjustments, it's really hard for you." ”

Hearing this, Rielie was immediately unhappy, and when she looked at her now, she almost pointed at Barrett's nose and scolded: "Barrett, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Slip of the tongue! Tongue! Barrett knew that a woman in this state couldn't be messed with, so he naturally had to retreat again and again. Then he confessed to the catboy: "Tomorrow we will start practicing in the courtyard of the merchant house, and we have spent so much money on the 'scorpion sickle', we can't throw it there and eat ashes!" ”

"Really? Then I'll go to bed as soon as I go back, and I'll have to wake up early tomorrow! As he said this, the catboy's eyes seemed to glow.

Even though his mouth is hard, his reaction is still very honest! Since I like fists and feet. How can you not be interested in instruments! Barrett, who touched his chin, immediately sent a 'Don't say anything'. I know the look.

But at this moment, Rielly roared in a terrible manner, "Lalu, do you look at yourself like this? Go practice early tomorrow morning. Aren't you finding sin for yourself again? ”

"Tomorrow! Tomorrow morning, doesn't Clematis have a new magic? Lalu defended weakly.

Rielly grabbed the cat to her side: "Anyway, you'll have to wait until you're fully recovered." Nothing to talk about until then. ”

With such 'restraint', Barrett finally avoided being knocked on the door early the next morning. He slept comfortably in the game, and didn't get up from the soft couch until the sun was on his buttocks. Pushing the door into the courtyard, he found that the doors of the rooms where his companions lived did not seem to have been opened.

"Looks like everyone was very tired from last night's mission! I'm not alone in sleeping lazy today. Speaking of this, Barrett suddenly heard "Grunt!" Grunt! Voice. Apparently his stomach was protesting to itself.

There is a cafeteria in the storehouse, but it is obviously not yet time to eat. And Barrett, who is an outsider, is embarrassed to take the initiative to trouble the cook who has already left work to cook for himself. As a last resort, he had no choice but to leave the merchant house and begin his first foraging journey in the city of 'Ulrique'.

Although there are also places to eat and drink in the commercial area where the merchant hall is located, you should know that it is a place where some big people who have a lot of money go back. It's like a big 5 star hotel. The food and taste may not be much better than ordinary boutique restaurants, but the price will go up.

Of course, Barrett wouldn't go to that kind of place when he was eating alone! Of course, if it is to have some high-grade meetings or something, Barrett will naturally not be stingy with the cost of this. But now Barrett is not sorry for the gold coins, but the unnecessary expenditure is always unpleasant - the nature of a miser.

Fortunately, the previous task has been completed, and the time to collect the commission fee is not too rushed. Taking advantage of this leisure, Barrett began to wander around in 'Ulrike'. Soon he turned into the civilian quarters and began to look at the taverns and food stalls one by one. That's right, the storefront isn't beautifully decorated, and the greasy tables look like they haven't been washed in years. But as long as you have a sensitive nose, you may be able to find a good place for good money.

It's like some of the things in Sichuan that weren't beautifully renovated in the classical period. At the same time, the general health conditions are not very good, but there is a good taste of the restaurant. Many people refer to these low-priced and narrow restaurants as "fly restaurants" to describe their small and cheap.

For many people, the "Fly House" may not be the best food, but it must have a mysterious attraction and a special taste that makes people want to stop. For those who don't understand, they come up with a variety of reasons. For example, "there was the most welcoming owner and the homely homeness." "Or what" has a heart-warming cheap and intimate price, a good chef's cooking skills and a lot of effort to create dishes. Or even "a hearty family atmosphere where you can eat without any scruples." ”

But they all forgot a little. It is the energy I spent in the process of finding those "fly restaurants". The search and selection itself contains endless fun, and it is especially sweet when you find the desired goal - just like a child who is cooking for the first time, and usually makes his own 'food'. As long as it is a passable result, it often makes them smile. Because in this they can condense their own sweat.

And for Barrett at this time, everything in front of him naturally seemed even more novel. After all, most of the people who walk the streets and alleys in Shudi to find "fly restaurants" are still locals. As for Barrett, 'Ulrike' was his first time here. Because until the end of the closed beta, the new city of 'Ulrik' has not yet started construction! Even the sketches used for the planning, I don't know how many were drawn.

Although the construction of 'Ulrik' was at one time trying to get rid of the influence left by Karada. But the valuable experience left over from hundreds of years of practice is not something that can be thought of with a single brain. Therefore, after it was difficult to make any changes in the general direction, the royal family naturally invested more effort in the details. This makes it for Barrett to wander through it. Everything in the city of 'Ulrik' is new - the attention to detail. But it all got into his eyes.

The unique street signs and the bronze signs in front of the doors are borrowed from the experience of the 'City of Poitou'. Stone tethered stakes were visible from time to time in front of the door. Each one can be called round and smooth. Although it is not like the classical period, the stone carvings of horse-tied piles distributed in Chengcheng County on the Weibei Plateau in Shaanxi Province are full of unique folk art atmosphere. But in terms of practicality, it has come to the forefront.

On both sides of the cobblestone road, there are small ditches made of blue stone slabs, on which green moss grows luxuriantly. Along the way, Barrett even saw some bare-bottomed children slipping and falling to the ground while pulling the moss. But after those little guys got up like no one else, the smile on Barrett's face became even brighter: "This is life!" But I don't know how long I can stay with them on the carefree days! Maybe in a few years they will have to shoulder the burden of life. ”

That's right, whether it's on the Western Continent or the East Road. Work is not only an obligation for adults, but also a duty for young and young people. Although the minimum apprenticeship in the union is 8-9 years old, they have to start helping with household chores or other jobs at home much earlier. It's still in town. If they were in the countryside or on the estate, those children began their farming careers for as long as they could remember.

Of course, all of the above were the children of the poor, and the children of the nobles or the great merchants were busy with the teaching tasks of the governess at that age. Although it is also not easy, it is a complete two starting lines for the future.

It seems that it is not easy to find a professional among the poor! Think about us, the players, we really have to thank the system god for taking care of it. Thinking about it, Barrett didn't know why such an idea came to his head. Then, shaking his head, he continued, turning his attention to the taverns and restaurants on either side of the road.

Following the guidance of his own nose, Barrett came to the front of a small stall. He twitched his nose and pointed to the cauldron that was tumbling: "Boss, what are you doing here!" ”

"You can tell it's not a local! I didn't even know the famous 'breath of a petrified cow'. Before the fat cook, who was stirring the cauldron with a spoon, could speak, someone at the table next to him opened his mouth.

Barrett looked at the bubbling iron cauldron with some apprehension: "What's the strange name of 'Petrified Cow's Breath'?" ”

"Because the smoke that comes out of it when it boils is very similar to the 'smell of petrified cows.'" I don't know which bastard adventurer got the weird name. Unexpectedly, after a long time, the big guy had long forgotten the original name of this dish. On the contrary, this kind of ridiculous title has been retained. The fat cook stirred the spoon here, "Young man, you have to give it a try." Don't look at the name of this thing, but you can see the taste of those guys. ”

After saying this, the cook stretched out his hand and pointed to the two men in short shirts who were eating happily. Drinking hot soup on this hot day, they are sweating and shouting 'cool' - a bit like the Chongqing people in the classical period, who always like to eat hot pot in the summer.

Even if you don't look at the reactions of those diners. Just by smelling the scent, Barrett knew that the smell couldn't be wrong: "Well, let's have a 'petrified cow's breath' first." ”

"That's good! You can find a place to sit on your own. I'll serve you a copy of the 'Petrified Cow's Breath' right away. The fat cook, who said this, pointed to the table and chair behind him.

Barrett, who walked into the store, had only sat down for less than a minute, when two wooden bowls were brought to Barrett. The large bowl contained the 'smell of a petrified cow' boiling in a large cauldron in front of the door, while the small bowl contained a milky white liquid. Barrett looked down and sniffed it, feeling a special smell mixed with it: "Is this goat's milk?" ”

"That's right, the 'smell of petrified cows' in our store comes with goat's milk. Once you've eaten the main course, you'll know the benefits of goat's milk. The fat cook turned his head and replied.

Flipping the soup in front of him with a spoon, Barrett found a purple-colored meat in it, a piece of meat that could not be connected to the beef and mutton used every day. In addition to this, Barrett also found boiled peppers and onions in it. Although they have been widely cultivated for a long time, these two aromatic vegetables are among the most expensive crops in the western continent.

Onions are relatively cheap, but peppers have a relatively short history of cultivation. Therefore, due to the influence of production and other factors, it can even reach 3-5 silver coins per pound. In fact, if you are not in a metropolis like 'Ulrique', it is rare for a roadside stall like this to use this kind of food.

It was also a confirmation of what Barrett had seen before, and immediately after entering the thick soup, he felt a spicy taste fill his mouth. Then it went down the esophagus into the nasal cavity, making Barrett feel the wetness of his nasal mucosa under such stimulation. But then when the soup was swallowed, it was like a warm current of the floor slowly moving into the stomach. And Barrett's mouth seemed to return to normal immediately, leaving a little bit of the spicy daring between his lips and teeth.

"Good taste!" Barrett, who put down the spoon, couldn't help but praise. Compared to the fact that most of the dishes have a heavy taste, after eating, they will have an "endless aftertaste" in the mouth. This type of spicy that will no longer affect the taste after a while is a real rarity!

Then Barrett, who drank two sips, smoothed his throat with goat's milk on the side and said, "Is there anything else bosses can recommend?" ”

"If you're not in a hurry, I recommend you try our special barbecue. It is made by using black peppers and cloves to make the meat tender, then wrapping it in the leaves of the sheep's tooth plant and roasting it in an earthen oven. It takes a lot of time, but the taste is definitely not enough! The fat chef in front of him immediately recommended the restaurant's signature dishes. Of course, from another point of view, this dish is also one of the more expensive dishes in the store. (To be continued......)

Some time ago, it was really busy, so the revision time was also delayed. From tomorrow onwards, I will try to make as much time as possible to revise the article as early as possible.
