Chapter 971: Telling Stories in the Wine Stall
When Charles and Mothra were released from the headquarters, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the headquarters was a mess all afternoon, and the bigwigs only interrogated them once and left them alone.
The group of fish-man soldiers of the Osme Kingdom has been forming a formation in the shallow sea to protect themselves, not listening to anyone, and there is a posture to fight.
If Charles hadn't heard the discussion outside the door and ran out to tell the bigwigs that Karen, the former general of the Kingdom of Othme, was working as a tutor in the Knowledge City and could let her communicate with his old subordinates, the bigwigs would have forgotten to tell him that he could leave.
In the past, Karen was a character, but now she is just a small person, and the bigwigs who know her still think that she is dead a long time ago, and they didn't expect her to be in the knowledge city.
Far away from the headquarters is the space gate, where a group of necromancy has been spawned every few days lately, and the devil knows if they think that the situation here is good and continue to increase troops, or take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.
Mothra was indifferent to the space gate and the matter of the necromantic world, and said that when the sky fell, there were these big guys on top, and it would be a big deal to take his sister to settle in the animal world.
Charles was speechless, and she was right.
There were more and more garrisons from all over the continent near the Space Gate, and they were camping outside their respective defense zones on the defensive line.
On the defensive line, there is even a defense area that is specially divided for adventurers from all over the world, and another is for senior students in the knowledge city.
Charles was speechless about this, he really took this place as a copy.
At the same time, he also noticed that there had been a lot of changes around him in the days since he was away.
Many buildings on the periphery of the garrison were demolished to facilitate the mobility of the troops, but many people who were willing to take risks for the sake of money came here and set up sheds, tables and chairs, wine barrels, stoves and pots on the open space and opened wine stalls.
The owners of these wine stalls come from all over the world, and almost all of them bring good wine from all over the world, specializing in the business of the villagers.
The island's farmers' market has reopened, and there is no shortage of ingredients.
The cafeterias of the colleges had long since reopened, and the focus of the steamed bun bureau had shifted to the garrisons and the stalls.
Most of the people who came to the wine stalls to eat and drink were officers and soldiers who had just been replaced, officers who were not on duty, and adventurers who had come to fight for the future.
These people have a few more coins in their pockets than before, so there are big, white, and soft steamed buns and buns in the steamed bun bureau, and who is going to eat the black bread that can be used as a weapon.
Coupled with the fact that the steaming bureau was already equipped with magic-driven mills and sieves, and all the flour that came back from the stock was processed again, plus there was also an insulated fermentation box, the quality of the pasta was better than that of ordinary knights and poor barons, and there was no reason for diners not to pay.
There are also people who come from the south to eat rice, and the steaming bun bureau also provides steamed rice in batches packed in wooden rice trays, although the rice is already cold when pulled to the stall, but it is still very good to eat with a spoonful of boiling fish soup poured into the bowl.
The facilities of these wine stalls are simple, and it is very troublesome to make staple food, and the steamed bun bureau is not as good as the steamed bun bureau, so the bosses all go to the steamed bun bureau to buy goods, and prepare their own dishes and wine.
Charles and Mothra didn't have to eat dinner, and Ru originally wanted to take Sister Fox back to Nanhai Farm to eat, but he saw that the owner of a stall was an acquaintance on the way, so he went over to help him.
"Brother, come two grilled fish, don't need money if it's not delicious!!"
Charles's shouts aroused the displeasure of several young knights with a strong sense of justice, who regarded him as a gentleman who had come to make trouble.
"Hey, you're back?" The old man who opened the wine stall laughed happily when he saw Charles, "What's the matter, I only brought one beautiful woman back after going out?"
The young knight saw that Charles was joking with the boss as acquaintances, and ignored it.
Orcs often appear in the Knowledge City, and the old brother is not surprised, and he jokes with Charles.
"Her name is Mothra, and she is an expert I invited back, brother, you have to take care of her more. Charles hurriedly explained to the old brother he knew from fishing, otherwise some rumors would spread among the fishing brothers tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow everyone knew that the "vegetative man" of Dunqiao Academy was going to wrestle with the ninety-nine-eighty-one orc elder sister in the bedroom at night.
The old brother just smiled and started to help Charles grill the fish.
He lifted the cloth that covered the wooden basin, and inside was a large basin of fish marinated in a spice based on cheap honey.
The Mage's Hand picked up the two largest fish from under the tub and floated them in front of him, and they floated in the air and were roasted to crispy flesh by the magical flames in the palm of his hand.
It was the first time Mothra had seen this method of grilling fish, and she didn't come to her senses when the grilled fish drizzled with tomato sauce was placed in front of her.
The proprietress is an aunt who has begun to make a fortune in middle age, and she brings steamed buns and fish soup to the table.
"Huh?" said Charles when he forked the fish into the flesh, "This fish has no bones?"
The old brother was very satisfied with Charles's surprise, and he said proudly: "The little girl of the demon clan who came to my house to spend the night last time got it, and she came over to help me get rid of the fish bones when she was free." ”
Charles nodded, seeing how well everyone was getting along.
At this time, the number of people who came to the wine stall began to increase, and after a while, a group of old men with fishing gear and wooden barrels came over, they had been fishing until now, and they were going to come and drink a few glasses before going home.
As soon as the local tyrant saw that they were acquaintances, he beckoned everyone to share the table, and he invited him.
Everyone gave the fish caught today to the old brother who opened the stall, and then moved the table and carried the chairs, how could someone miss it.
At this time, someone came and shouted: "Boss, prepare a cup, I have wine!"
"Yo, you're here too, girl!"
The old buddies knew Diana, and she sent a late-night snack when Charles was fishing at night.
A group of people sat around the table in a row, and Charles took the opportunity to introduce Diana to Mothra.
When Mothra saw the proprietress and was so cautious that she didn't even dare to continue eating dinner.
Then Charles was saying to those old buddies: "Didn't the Earl of Maccaden just buy a few pieces of land a while ago, so I rented a piece with him, and I was going to use it to raise chickens, and when the time comes, I will sell chickens and eggs to make some money, and Mothra is what I invited to help raise chickens." ”
"That's good!" said an old man with a mustache, "and when the time comes, we'll get you fish for eggs." ”
At this time, the proprietress brought the wine glass and put it away, and Diana took out a barrel of good wine and poured it for everyone, including Mothra, and her action startled Mothra.
"Blue Sea?!" There are people in the old brother who know wine, and they recognize the name of the wine when they see the blue wine, "This is a specialty of the Chuanton Kingdom!"
Diana smiled and said, "I have a girlfriend who is a fishman, and she just came back a few days ago and brought me a few buckets as gifts. ”
Charles was confused, it was the first time he had heard that Fishman also made wine.
Seeing his doubts, the old brother who knew wine said: "You don't know this, the kind of sea grapes in the sea can be used to make wine, and the wine made from purple sea grapes is blue." ”
Charles could only marvel at how wonderful the world was.
Diana talked about the fish-man, and the bald fisherman asked her: "Sister, the fish-man prince was killed today, and I heard that a fish-man girl named Rachel went to turn herself in in the evening, do you know what happened?"
"Rachel?!" Charles exclaimed when he heard the name, "how is she ?!!"
He had thought about who had killed Jenny, but he had never thought it was Rachel who did it.
The bald man asked him, "Do you know that girl?"
Charles sighed deeply, took a sip of wine, and said, "I heard the Earl of McCaden tell her story before, and I met her once later, but I didn't expect it to be her." ”
Brother Bazi Hu asked, "Can you tell her story?"
Charles took another sip of wine and said in a deep voice, "Her story isn't that good." ”
"I heard from the Earl of Maccaden that day he was on a mission when he encountered a group of demons who drove several girls up the hill ......"
