Chapter 152: The Tavern
There is only one tavern in Stardew Valley, and in addition to wine, it also sells all kinds of ordinary meals, which is considered all-round, but it is usually not sold out, after all, all the people who come here are people from this town, except for the kind of craftsmanship that is particularly bad, few people will choose to come out to eat. For this reason, the main products here are all kinds of alcoholic beverages.
Today, though, the tavern has an offbeat guest.
Li Mu pushed open the door of the tavern, and then went straight to the front of the bar and sat down, "If you have anything to eat, come up with a beer." ”
Geth put down the glass that had been wiped to reflect the figure, turned around and poured a glass of beer and put it on the table, "This glass is for you, young man, I haven't seen you before, you are ......"
"The new farmer of Red Maple Leaf Farm is the one west of town." Li Mu drank a glass of beer, fished for an afternoon, forgot to bring water, he was really thirsty.
"Oh, it's the original Sun Farm, I know." Geth poured another beer, then turned and walked to the back kitchen, "Something else has to be slow, you wait a little while, I'll heat up two cherry pies for you to eat first." ”
"Okay, sure enough, do you have to say these words again, I'll have to ask Robin to make a big sign for me to hang at the door tomorrow." Li Mu secretly made up his mind in his heart. "No, that's not very conspicuous, why don't you put a notice on the bulletin board?" Li Mu put his head on the bar in distress, looking at the cup of beer in front of him, the bubbles at the bottom of the cup kept bubbling upward.
"Hey, you're stupid, how many times have you said it, you must avoid people when you encounter them, don't rush up, you see that the monsters have been attracted by you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have died so many times in the first level." A voice reached Li Mu's ears.
Li Mu turned his head and saw a purple-haired girl teaching a little boy with a chubby face. In front of them was a game console, and the word "failure" appeared on the screen.
In a bored state of mind, Li Mu walked over, "What's the matter, isn't it just a game, come, I'll help you play." Li Mu said as he changed a few coins from the machine next to him and threw one in casually.
"Oh, it's a bullet hell shooter." Li Mu moved the villain on the screen, shooting back while dodging the bullets fired by the enemy. The game is a bit like Isaac, except that the difficulty is not as high. Li Mu relied on his bronze-level reaction speed all the way to the tenth level.
"Hey, your cherry pie is ready, if you don't eat it, it'll be cold." Boss Gaisce walked out with a plate, and then went back to the back kitchen.
"Oh, got it." Li Mu said and threw the remaining game coins on the machine, "You guys play, playing games is fun, clearing customs is a kind of fun, killing yourself in various ways is also a kind of fun, it's not interesting to make the game a competition." Okay, these coins should be a gift for you, I am the new farmer of the Red Maple Leaf Farm, Li Mu, I will live here in the future, please take care of me in the future. After speaking, Li Mu got up and returned to the bar, picked up the cherry pie and put it in his mouth and took a bite.
"Well, the jam is a bit too much, the taste is a little sour, and the noodles are average, not enough to reach the average level." Then, Li Mu ate the cherry pie in two bites, and then drank a big sip of beer to wash the taste down his mouth.
He's not a picky eater, there are a lot of game dungeons where you can't find normal food, he's eaten a lot of food beyond imagination, and if he wants, he can eat anything unpalatable. However, I will still taste it when I eat it, which is also a problem. This has caused many chefs to look at him angrily, but he doesn't want to change.
"Hey, you're very good at playing games, I'm going to compete with you." The purple-haired girl walked over and sat down next to Li Mu.
"Well, I'm sorry, although rejecting a girl would be called ungentlemanly, but I don't want to compete in the game." Li Mu took a sip of beer comfortably.
"Scared? If you're afraid, just say it. The purple-haired girl pouted.
"It's okay if you have to understand it that way, it's just that my understanding of the game is relaxation, and there is no need to divide the high and low, so I can't obey the competition, which will make me lose the fun of playing the game. I'd rather interact with AI in my own game by myself than compete with people. Well, it's getting late, and the little ones have to go home early to go to bed. Li Mu glanced at the wall clock on the wall and said.
"Hmph, I want you to care, my name is Abigail, and one day I will beat you in the game." Abigail walked out of the bar with the game currency in his hand.
"Hey, you seem to be in trouble, she's a stubborn girl, and she won't give up if she can't beat you." Boss Ghes poked his head out of the back kitchen and said.
Li Mu shrugged innocently and continued to drink the beer in the cup, "When is the steak good, my stomach is already protesting to me." ”
"Just come. Real food takes time to settle down. Boss Gaisce retracted his head.
"Come on, I know a chef who doesn't take that long to make something amazing." Li Mu said and thought of Miss Mei Yi again.
"Oh yes, I'd really like to meet the chef if I get the chance." Boss Gais's voice came from the back kitchen.
"Maybe, it's difficult." Li Mu turned the wine in the glass, as if he was looking at some exquisite work of art.
"Oh, she must live far away, is this your hometown?" Boss Gaisce continued to ask.
"It's not my hometown, but it's far, far away." Li Mu silently added in his mind, "I have broken through the dimension." ”
"Oh." Boss Gaisce didn't answer, and the sound of steaks sizzling on butter could be heard in the back kitchen.
"Maybe I can hear your story, maybe you can trade your story for a few beers." Boss Gaisce handed the grilled steak to Li Mu. The steak inside the plate is medium-rare and topped with a milky sauce. Next to the plate is a sliced lemon. "It's a new way I've invented, and you're the first diner to try it."
"There are too many stories to tell and there is nothing new, and I still count on playing a middle-aged uncle with vicissitudes and stories, and then use these stories to deceive young girls." Li Mu skillfully cut the steak with a knife, and then put a small piece in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"How?" Boss Gais's attention was really diverted, and the story or something had long been left behind.
"Well, the taste is quite novel, it feels very fresh, and the lady should like it, but I personally prefer the one with a stronger flavor and a stronger sauce. But I have a suggestion, if you really want to make the most of the freshness, try adding a little fresh fruit as a side dish. Or ......" Li Mu gave his opinion while eating.
Boss Gaiss nodded again and again, and then wrote it down in his notebook seriously.
"By the way, is there anyone else eating here besides me?" Li Mu looked around at the sparse guests, each of whom seemed to be holding a beer. "And what girl are you trying to please with this steak?"
"Well, this, ah, haha, I'm still simmering soup on the stove, I'll take a look." Boss Ghes packed up his notebook and fled into the kitchen.
