Chapter 10, Woe to the Evil
Trade promotes prosperity, and the floating population in Greene Town at a time is one or two times more than the local residents, and it is precisely because of this that the streets in the center of the town are not only lined with hotels, but also many taverns, among which Papa's Tavern is the most popular, and the unique cooking methods and high prices attract wealthy merchants to come and taste it.
Kos. Ma Duo is a resident merchant of the Violet Chamber of Commerce in Merlin Province, perennial shuttle in the interior to buy products from various places, and then put them in prosperous towns to make a lot of money, this month he used his little power to open up a spice road, after a few twists and turns, he got a batch of low-priced spices, as long as this batch of goods is exchanged for the royal capital, the gold coins in his hand will at least multiply several times, provided that those damn lords deduct tax money.
"They're just a bunch of vampires, who are as righteous as angels by day, but at night they open their fangs and bite you while you're asleep, sometimes devouring you whole," he cursed with a big grin.
The merchant walked leisurely down the tiled streets, and on his right stood his most trusted knight, Pad, a tall and loyal knight with a smile on his face, walking firmly beside him.
As he walked, the merchant's eyes were as small as mung beans, and it seemed that there was a long queue of people in front of him, as if waiting for something, and Kos could not hold back his curiosity, and said to his knight:
"What are the people up front doing, Pad, look at it"
The knight's tall body combined with his elite gaze, looking from afar, replied with some uncertainty:
"It's like... It was like a tavern, and those people were queuing. ”
When the merchant heard this, he looked disdainful and said mockingly:
"Can there be any good things in such a place, do you think they are those high-end restaurants in the imperial capital?"
"Just the hard, dry bread we ate this morning? ,,No, no,,, it's insulting compared to the two words of white and soft bread in the capital."
"In my opinion, they are just employing people, and I don't know what is going on in there. I've seen a lot of the next three indiscriminate methods.. Hum! After a burst of mockery, the merchant snorted.
Until they walked forward to the crowd, they saw that the people waiting in line did not have that impatient look, most of them were full of anticipation, and there were curious faces. The sharp-eyed eyes of a businessman made him observe brightly, these people were looking forward to something from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were longing for something, even in the heat of the middle of the day.
Kos stopped in a daze, a hint of uncertainty flashed in his hesitant eyes, and at this moment, some dilapidated wooden doors opened gently, and a middle-aged man with a strange facial expression, contented, peaceful, and even some thanks, all gathered on one face, and the merchant couldn't help but shake his head and smile:
"Hey, fuck it, whatever" smiled at the somewhat confused warrior next to him:
"Let's go, Pad, let's go eat and see.
Entering the door, it was not a gorgeous venue, there was no expensive leather carpet, no noble glasses, and no beautiful maids, only the little girl in front of her who had not yet developed. The spacious wooden floor was covered with wooden tables, but the merchants counted, plus two of them, just six guests, and they could have filled the house one by one, and I really didn't know how the tavern owner did business, Kos thought.
Sitting on a hard wooden chair, Kos was about to ask for a menu when he was ruthlessly interrupted by the maid,
"I'm sorry, but we only offer a full menu today, so please wait."
The merchant looked angry, you are an overlord treaty, how can there be a restaurant that forces customers, just wanted to get up and argue, and looked at a few other guests not far away quietly, and found that they didn't talk too much, quietly a little scary, only the metal sound of the knife and fork colliding, and the constant sound of surprise, the merchant's anger suddenly couldn't work, and he had no choice but to give up, and at the same time his heart became more and more longing..
The maid's soft voice came, "It's an appetizer"
"Black Moore Roll with White Jade Radish"
Two delicate dishes are presented in Kos. A small black short roll is interspersed with a slender brown stick and a triangular white object, lying diagonally on a wooden plate, and there is some black and white juice on the side, so that it looks quite artistic, and I don't know the taste...
Kos picked up the knife and fork, cut a little color and put it in his mouth, the taste melted instantly, the sour gas unique to black moore slowly spread in the mouth, the sweet and crisp radish diluted this sourness, with the slightly sweet and sweet sugar silk, so that the merchant's somewhat tired body instantly returned to the best state, the mouth was constantly secreting saliva, hunger swept over his somewhat bald head at the moment, Pader Knight was not so sven, directly grabbed the string of sugar sticks, swallowed it in one gulp, closed his eyes and chewed it in a big gulp, The same expression of enjoyment.
"White mushroom cream soup with grape peach kernel toast slices" followed by the soup, the bottom of the flat spy is slightly concave, a pool of milky white, the center of the floating white mushroom grains of thick soup, the wooden spoon gently shakes, the mirror surface slightly thicker than milk stirs up ripples.
Soft, grainy bread, fragrant and creamy with a little spicy white fungus blended together, bite after sip, as if Kos was wandering in the milky white stream, enjoying the incomparable taste, while the thirsty Pad had already picked up the wooden plate, searching for the remaining taste.
"Main course with herbs and pan-fried lamb ribs"
Again, the two shiny eyes stared closely at the wooden dish from the girl's hand, two pieces of bone-in lamb chops delicately and elegantly overlapped together, and the middle was as pink as a little. The brown skin is drizzled with a layer of dark green juice, and the cuts and forks are cut without a hint of obstruction, like a lump of softened butter.
Seeing the pink mutton stained with a touch of blue, Kos swallowed his saliva, the rich smell of mutton erupted with the chewing of his teeth and the amazing gravy, coupled with the incense of the vanilla juice, fresh, with a little tempting sourness, after a while, the two cutlets were left with two bare white bones.
"And the final dessert, with a single puff pastry tart"
"Huh? What is this" The self-professed and well-informed Kos could not but be impressed by the skill of the tavern's cooking, compared to the royal capital's self-proclaimed sumptuous delicacies, which were tasteless and tasteless, and the so-called bread was only softer than hard cakes.
"It's... What is it about the bright yellow and the brown spots interspersed with the clearly visible layering, and the charming buttery smell? ”
Koss, who took a closer look at the pastry, said. As the crisp puff pastry is bitten, the first thing you feel is the silky egg fragrance, and then the layers of burnt puff pastry beat on the tip of the tongue with the tender jelly, sweet, egg, and butter are like moving notes, each with its own distinctive characteristics.
Kos closed his eyes and quietly felt the greatness of the food, and after a while, just like the strange middle-aged man who had just come out, the same expression appeared on his face, but with a different face, with gratitude for the food, the food wisdom of the other world slowly revealed its own brilliance in this wider world.
After Mebis tidied up the inside and outside of the tavern, he was about to return to the attic to rest. At this moment, several mysterious people dressed in black and wearing sackcloth slowly walked out of the darkness.
Mebis felt their substantial murderous intent, and slowly retreated in horror, and said in a trembling voice
"You... Be. Who is I.. I won't offend you," and without waiting for the man in black to react,
Mebis 'stumbled' to the west of Greentown, and in that direction was the dense forest where no one led or inhabited except the caravans.
Seeing Mebis's sudden escape, it seemed that the leading man in black made a gesture, and the group followed closely behind him, gradually disappearing into the darkness.
