Chapter 32: The Tavern
Pushing open the door of the tavern, a noisy smell came to my face. An old wooden door www.biquge.info seemed to separate the two worlds, in stark contrast to the deathly silence outside.
The tavern is not big, but it is almost packed. When Xue Yuan pushed the door in, everyone's eyes were focused on him, but after a moment, he withdrew his gaze and continued to talk, enjoying his wine with large glasses.
The smell of wine and sweat filled the air, and if you were a cleanliness person, you would probably be suffocated at this moment. Xue Yuan walked straight to the innermost, where there was a heavy oak curved bar, and a middle-aged man with a mustache was wiping his wine glass in front of the bar.
Xue Yuan sat on a high round stool in front of the bar and snapped a silver coin on the bar.
"What does this gentleman need?" The middle-aged man with a mustache stopped what he was doing, and his eyes were shining at the silver coin that Xue Yuan had placed in front of the bar. "If you're looking for something to drink, we've got ale, wine, sweet wine, and mead." He gestured to the shelves behind him that were full of bottles. "If you're hungry and want something to eat, we have a wide variety of reasonably priced food for sale. We have the finest hams imported from the Frankish kingdom, as well as the finest goat meat and white bread. Of course, if you like fish, we also have fresh herring and cod. It's a rarity, and no one can get it when the Greenland Sea freezes. ”
"If there's one specialty I'm proud of, it's the pickled herring that we make in our tavern......"
"Wait a minute." Xue Yuan stopped the mustache's sales pitch with his words, not that he wasn't hungry, in fact, he was so hungry that he just took a bite of black buckwheat bread. But when he heard this mustache mention pickled herring, Xue Yuan's whole person was not good, because he had enjoyed this "deliciousness" in his own world.
This pickled herring is characterized by "stinky", and it is difficult to describe the stench, and it is not the same level of stinky food as stinky tofu. If you have to describe it, it is that I ate roasted stinky tofu for a week, and as a result, my stool was dry + loose, and after holding it for a week, I finally excreted it, and I smelled it on the toilet. And this smell lasts for a long time, if you open it in the room and don't open the window for ventilation, this smell can be maintained for half a month! Xue Yuan is wearing a hood now, although this Kamen Rider hood has an opening in his mouth that allows him to eat freely, half of the breath he exhales goes into the hood, wouldn't he smoke himself to death if he eats this thing?
"You're not going to say you're all eating this pickled herring in this tavern." Xue Yuan asked in surprise, "Can you stand it?" ”
"Of course not, our pickled herring can only be taken out." The mustache shook his head regretfully, "After all, not everyone who comes here can appreciate the wonderful smell that lasts for a long time. ”
"Well, after all, everyone's preferences are different. Bring me a goat chop and a glass of mead. Xue Yuan took out another silver coin, "In addition, I want to inquire about some more things." ”
"That's all there is to it, of course." The mustache that was labeled as "heavy" by Xue Yuan smiled very brightly, and after quickly accepting the two silver coins and calling the maid who was serving other guests to go to the back kitchen to ask for food, he quickly poured Xue Yuan a glass of mead.
"I don't know what you want to ask, sir?"
"Guess what?"
The mustache smiled, "Sir, you're wearing a hood, I'm afraid you're a forced laborer who escaped, right?" Do you want to ask how to get out of Copenhagen? ”
