Chapter 228: Elves' Eating Habits
"As far as I know, there seems to be some differences between the eating habits of elves and humans, but I don't know exactly what the difference is, if you can, can you help me explain it?"
When chatting with the Red Queen before, Li Yalin already had a general understanding of the other world, but it was only a general understanding, and the details were not what the foodie queen would pay attention to at all.
Especially this elf race, neither the family of the Red Queen, nor her disciples, of course, she can't say it clearly, just a brush.
Knowing that elves live in forests all year round and rarely interact with humans is already quite difficult.
Then, this time he met a real elf, and Li Yalin certainly wouldn't let go of this good opportunity to learn about intelligence.
"Is there a difference in diet between elves and humans......
Li Yalin suddenly asked this question, and the elf on the other side also showed a stunned expression, but she didn't hesitate for too long, just thought about it for a while, and quickly answered.
"It's not so much a difference, it's a complete difference, you savage humans...... I'm sorry, but you humans love to eat meat, which is exactly what we elves can't agree with. ”
Savage ...... Humans?
Well, the conceptual gap is indeed not small.
Although the elf on the other side quickly noticed his gaffe and said sorry, Li Yalin also heard it very clearly, and the eating habits of human beings were indeed unacceptable to the elves.
As with those legendary settings, the elves are vegetarians?
Are all humans savage in the presence of elegant elves?
I always feel ...... I'm really sorry to be a savage human.
In the descriptions of various or anime works,Elves are very simple races.,To put it bluntly, there's no flowery intestines.,What to say.,It's completely natural.。
So Li Yalin only complained a little in his heart at the moment, but he didn't show dissatisfaction.
"I see, meat is unacceptable?"
Nodding slightly, he had already figured out how to entertain the elven guest.
"No, not only meat, but also animal meat, fish, eggs, and milk, we can't accept all of them."
I don't know if I'm afraid of being misunderstood, but the elf on the other side hurriedly added.
The daring elf can't even eat eggs and milk, Li Yalin has the heart to ask when he hears this, you are such picky eaters, can your body's nutrition keep up?
Well, elves are not human beings, and their body structure must be different, looking at human beings from the perspective of human beings, I am afraid that it is also Shi Lezhi.
"I see, there's no meat, no milk, and no eggs, right, then...... What about the taste of the elves? Do you prefer something lighter, or are you okay with it? ”
If you want to talk about vegan food, this is not a problem for Li Yalin, Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, even if he is asked to cook a hundred vegetarian dishes, there will definitely be no duplicate.
It's just that there is no meat, milk, and eggs, so isn't that a piece of cake?
However, in addition to the ingredients, the taste of the food is also very important, but can the vegetarian elf eat some heavier dishes, such as spicy or greasy?
He also had to ask about this.
"Taste...... Of course, most elves still prefer lighter food, and in fact we don't seem to have much of an alternative to a light vegetarian diet. ”
Li Yalin's question made the elf on the other side think for a moment, after all, she had never considered the question of taste or distaste before this.
Isn't that all there is to vegetarian cuisine?
What else could be innovative?
At least in the eyes of this elf girl, even if this is a restaurant from another world, it is absolutely impossible to make vegetarian dishes beyond her knowledge.
"If any taste is acceptable, we really have two vegan signature dishes in the store."
The level of cooking in another world is quite scarce, and it is nothing more than boiling or grilling.
So according to the elves' dislike of vegetarian food, barbecue and other cooking methods must be something they rarely try.
In this case, their diet is probably boiled soup or cold vegetables, or ...... Is it eating directly on fruits?
It seems that there are a lot of elves, and it is true that they only eat fruits.
But if you want to satisfy an elf, it's clear that you can't solve it by sending a fruit platter, so ...... Let's see if Chinese cuisine can conquer this spirit from another world.
"Coiled dragon eggplant...... Mapo tofu? ”
Looking at the menu handed by Li Yalin, the elf girl's expression was a little hesitant, she knew the text on it, and she could also see the picture of the dish, but the problem was that whether it was eggplant or tofu, it was a cooking ingredient that she had never heard of.
This...... Isn't it really meat?
The most important thing is......
"It's so expensive......"
Yes, even a vegetarian dish of fifty silver coins made the elf subconsciously frown slightly, how could she, who had no contact with humans on weekdays, have the habit of bringing money.
Not to mention fifty silver coins for a dish, even if it was five copper coins for a dish, she didn't seem to be able to afford it.
It seems really rude to run to someone's restaurant and look at the menu but can't order.
Thinking of this, a flush immediately appeared on the elf's cheeks.
"By the way, I heard that the elves are very good at magic, I wonder if this rumor is true?"
Although Li Yalin is not particularly good at observing words and feelings, he can also detect one or two from the expression of the elf girl.
Don't have enough money?
Or didn't bring any money at all?
In any case, if we continue at this pace, today's guests will probably not want to be entertained.
What to do?
Li Yalin didn't plan to change the pricing on the menu, after all, in his heart, Chinese cuisine was worth the price.
But this shop is his, whether to sell food or deliver food is not all up to him, if he wants, it is not unavoidable to entertain customers for free.
It's just that you need a reason to be free.
What's more, at this moment, Li Yalin did think of an important thing.
This elf girl from another world seems to be a good communication partner, in terms of magic.
"Of course that's true, when it comes to magic, we elves are the strongest!"
Hearing Li Yalin mention the magic, the elf girl's face immediately showed a proud look, and the embarrassment and blush just now were completely thrown aside.
Her pride was not unfounded, in the early years, the elves were indeed quite powerful in the other world, and even the dragons at that time could not compete with them.
Of course, those so-called dragons are not the six-pillar dragon gods, just the most ordinary dragons, and with the passage of time, the glory of the elves gradually ceases to exist.
Boom and bust is the current situation of the elves.
