Chapter 7: Celebration
Wei Jun, who was sitting at the dining table with Hestia, pointed to the table full of beautiful things and asked in disbelief.
"You mean, so much food was bought on credit by Aunt Mia. The price is that she wants you to work in the store to pay off your debts until you pay off your debts!? ”
Although he knew the irreparable fact in front of him, Wei Jun was still a little difficult to accept.
You must know that Wei Jun and Hestia are poor now, and when will they have to pay back this table full of food.
"Joon, don't say that about Aunt Mia, in fact, it's all my own volition. After all, today is the day you join our family, and I want to celebrate with you. Aunt Mia was generous enough to let me pay on credit, and I really appreciate her. ”
Hestia hurriedly waved his hand and explained to Wei Jun.
Looking at Hestia, who was sold by others but still counted the money for others, Wei Jun rubbed his temples with a headache.
"Okay, okay, anyway, with Aunt Mia's door-picking personality, she will definitely not let us return it.
In that case, I can't waste some of your thoughts in vain, so we'll be willful tonight. ”
Wei Jun also knew that it was impossible to return the goods now, so it was better to enjoy it than to complain here.
Such an opportunity to eat a large table full of delicacies was something Wei Jun had never had on earth, and he felt that it was quite good to have such a luxury once in a while.
Thinking that Wei Jun's depressed mood finally dissipated, he picked up the ale on the table and toasted to Hestia, Wei Jun smiled.
"I salute you Hestia, thank you for giving me this opportunity to join your family.
To be able to meet legendary gods, to be able to become an adventurer, and even to have fantastic skills.
If all of this had been done before, I don't think I would have been able to achieve it in my dreams.
However, what was impossible for me in the past has now been achieved for me, and all this is thanks to you. I salute you for this cup, you are free, I will do it first. ”
"Nope! No! No! It should be me Xie Juncai, it's great that Jun can join my family. ”
Hestia also hurriedly raised her glass and smiled happily at Wei Jun.
The two of them touched their glasses with a smile and drank all the ale in their hands.
The world's ale wine is cheap and tastes good, so it's one of the most popular liquors for adventurers.
Of course, it may also be because there are not many varieties of alcohol in the world.
With a glass of ale in his stomach, Wei Jun felt that the taste of the thing was similar to that of beer, but the degree was slightly higher than that of beer.
However, for Wei Jun, this thing is still no different from boiled water, and Wei Jun will not fall down even if he drinks dozens of cups.
As a member of the single dog brigade, Wei Jun often goes to roadside stalls with his buddies and roommates on weekdays.
When they drink together, the beer is on the piece, the liquor is on the bottle, and this is the amount that each person gets and not a group of people sharing it evenly.
Therefore, Wei Jun's alcohol consumption has long been exercised by that group of animals to the point that he is suffocated with half a bottle of liquor in one breath and does not have a pant.
Wei Jun was a strong drinker, but Hestia was not.
Hestia, who had only drunk half a glass of ale, immediately had a faint flush on his face.
Seeing this, Wei Jun also knew that Hestia couldn't drink, and Wei Jun would never force others to drink alcohol.
"Okay, just drink the wine and drink it happily, until you order it. Let's try a taste of the tavern chef's craft. ”
Signaling Hestia, Wei Jun himself picked up the chopsticks.
By the way, the tools for eating in this otherworld are knives and forks, and the chopsticks were simply made by Wei Jun himself before.
“......”
However, Wei Jungang wanted to move the chopsticks, but he was stunned for a moment. Looking at the table full of food, Wei Jun looked at Hestia speechlessly.
"Are you sure we can eat so much with our little belly?"
"This ......"
Hestia also looked at Wei Jun with some embarrassment, she also knew that she and Wei Jun alone would definitely not be able to finish this big table of dishes.
But Aunt Mia was too enthusiastic when selling food, so enthusiastic that she didn't know how to refuse the other party.
Seeing this, the corners of Wei Jun's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't need to guess that he knew what happened.
"That's why you've been cheated by that profiteer! So much stuff...... Why don't we eat slowly, and then invite them over for a late night snack when they get off work.
Aren't you going to work here after today, so you should get to know them in advance and get closer to them. ”
"Okay, let's do as Joon says!"
Hestia also felt that Joon's words made sense.
"Then let's start first, you're welcome."
As he spoke, Wei Jun smiled and stretched out his chopsticks towards the otherworldly food in front of him without hesitation.
To be honest, Wei Jun really didn't know what the taste of otherworldly food was.
The bowl of fried noodles in the morning Wei Jun swallowed the dates in his stomach, and the food at noon was some simple sandwiches, not to mention any food.
Now Wei Jun can truly taste the food of this world.
Stretching out his chopsticks, Wei Jun picked up a piece of roasted golden meat in front of him and put it in his mouth.
After tasting the delicious taste in his mouth, Wei Jun's eyes lit up.
It seems that it is not unreasonable that the business of Aunt Mia's Tavern is so good, and the taste of this dish is really good!
After tasting the taste of several dishes in a row, Wei Jun admits that he was conquered by the taste of these dishes.
You must know that this pure natural green food is a completely rare product on the earth, and many times it is impossible to buy it even if you have money.
Not to mention that the taste of these dishes is completely based on the taste of the ingredients themselves, and has little to do with the seasonings.
Seasonings in this world are really scarce, and Wei Jun, the kitchen of the tavern, has also entered, and there are only a few tools and seasonings in it.
This situation made Wei Jun think of several ways to make money, but whether it can succeed still needs to be verified by Wei Jun.
Although the nightlife of Olari is not as rich as that of the earth, it is not far behind, especially in the taverns.
Adventurers returning from the dungeons come to the tavern to brag about their achievements and achievements with diners they know and don't know.
For the adventurers around him, no matter how much they brag and talk nonsense, Wei Jun listens to them with a hot and yearning face.
None else, because the events they are talking about are of great appeal to a teenager living in the peaceful years of the twenty-first century.
Wei Jun yearns for everything in this world, magic, battles, adventures, etc., all of them!
Wei Jun firmly believes that it won't be long before he will be part of the adventure in the dungeon, and that day will never be too late!
For Wei Jun's fiery and yearning eyes, both Hestia and Aunt Mia saw it in their eyes, but their expressions were different.
Aunt Mia gave Wei Jun a faint appreciation for this look, and Hestia glanced at Wei Jun, then turned her head to look at the adventurers who were boasting loudly, and puffed out her cheeks in dissatisfaction.
As time went on, the tavern's business also reached its peak, and more and more adventurers entered the tavern to drink, and the girls in the tavern became busier.
For the girls who were working in full swing, Wei Jun wanted to come forward to help several times, but they refused with a smile.
However, for Wei Jun and Hestia's invitation, they agreed to go over after work.
Whether it's someone for a big dinner or meeting a new colleague, the girls don't go back and say no.
During this period, Wei Jun also invited Aunt Mia by the way, but she refused simply.
The adventurer's energy is always too high, and it wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the tavern sent the last guest away.
With the departure of the last guest, it is the official end of the day's work.
After heating up the cold dishes, the girls warmly welcomed their new colleague (Hestia) at the table.
Faced with the girls' hospitality, Hestia quickly became one with them.
As for Wei Jun, I don't know if it's a gender relationship, he always feels like he can't fit in.
In the process of chatting, everyone also got to know Hestia to a certain extent.
Regarding the identity of the god Hestia, except for Wei Jun, everyone present chose to ignore it.
Because in this world, unless it is a special occasion, everyone will only treat the gods as ordinary people.
Hestia, who had been in Hephaestus' house for hundreds of years, faced so many enthusiastic friends for the first time.
This made her both excited and shy, and many times when faced with the girls' questions, she looked like she was hesitant and didn't know how to answer each other.
Fortunately, the girls here are very careful and sensible, and they understand her character very well, which makes Hestia feel a touch of warmth and touching.
When Hestias integrated into this big family, Wei Jun also took this opportunity to ask Xi'er beside him about the doubts in his heart.
"Ciel, there's something I'd like to ask you about. Aren't the people of the Loki clan coming here to dine often, why didn't they see them tonight? ”
"What! Joon, did you mention Loki just now!!! ”
Hestia, who was talking and laughing with the girls, instantly slapped the table and exploded when she heard the word Loki.
"Uh...... Did Hestia know Loki too? ”
Ciel asked with some curiosity when she saw Hestia's excitement.
The other girls also looked like they were gossiping.
"Know, how can you not know! Not only do I know that nasty fellow, but I also have a bitter hatred for that bastard! ”
Hestia clenched her fists drunkenly and said with an indignant expression.
"Huh."
Wei Jun looked at Hestia speechlessly and smiled helplessly.
In Wei Jun's opinion, Hestia and Loki simply love and kill each other, and the hatred between the two is just a family-level fight.
"Really......"
Xi'er saw Wei Jun and Hestia's expressions, and she shrewdly guessed a rough idea.
Regarding Wei Jun's previous question, Hill's slender fingers pointed at his delicate little face, and his eyes slanted slightly to the side and said thoughtfully.
"If Loki Clan is concerned, they're a regular in our tavern. But even if they were regular diners of the tavern, they wouldn't be able to dine with us every day.
If they have a lot of times, they will come once or twice a week, and if they have a small number of times, they will not come once a month or two.
If they hadn't come to our tavern for a long time, they would have gone on an expedition into the dungeon. But after each expedition, they come to our tavern to celebrate.
And every time they come over, they let us know in advance so that we can be ready to meet them. Joon looks like he's looking forward to them coming. ”
Looking at the smile and gossip on Xi'er's face, Wei Jun scratched his head a little embarrassed and explained.
"It's more nervous and scared than anticipation, after all, I don't know how to repay Miss Ace for saving her life."
Ciel shook his head, "Joon thinks so, but he will misunderstand Miss Ace." I think Miss Ace saved Joon, and she definitely didn't mean to let Joon repay her. ”
"Wait! Wait a minute! You two pause. ”
Hestia saw Wei Jun and Ci'er talking there on their own, and quickly interrupted.
"What did you say just now that Loki Clan is Wei Jun's lifesaver, and they are still frequent visitors here?!
Why hasn't anyone talked to me about this before?! What the hell is going on, and who's going to explain it to me!!!! ”
Hestia clutched her head in collapse and shouted.
