Chapter 5: Delicious Food
Andy and Eric are already hungry, but they won't even be able to get the leftovers from the guests until the work is over. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info heard the old man's inquiry, Eric hurriedly explained: "Sir, it's just half a glass of warm water, you don't need to be so polite. ”
The old man said, "I had a very uncomfortable throat just now, and it was you who helped me solve this problem, and you should be rewarded." The surrounding Bunier friends clenched their fists and anxiously waited for Eric's decision, Eric seemed hesitant, although he was also hungry, but he did not intend to get any payment from the old man opposite.
Andy looked at the old man and asked, "Is there a bag of copper plates hidden under your cloak, or can you beg Rebecca to give us the leftovers from the back of the tavern in advance?" ”
When the old man heard Andy ask, he immediately laughed and said, "Haha...... Who, Rebecca...... It's funny, you know? It's a perfect match for her black teeth, haha....... The old man laughed, much to Andy's bewilderment.
As soon as the name of Rebecca is heard in the whole muddy alley, whether it is a toddler or an old man with gray temples, it will shudder. As for Andy, they rarely heard anyone call the proprietress by her name, and now he told the old man opposite the name of the proprietress of Alex's Tavern to make him vigilant, so as not to get into trouble.
Who knew that the old man who heard Rebecca's name felt like someone was tickling for him, and Andy was overwhelmed. The old man looked at Andy, who was puzzled, and knew that he might have lost his temper, so he quickly wiped his face from top to bottom with his calloused hands, and then said righteously: "I'm sorry, I just thought the name Rebecca was too interesting." ”
Andy looked at the old man, his shoulders were still shaking, and it seemed that he was struggling to hold back his laughter. "Hahahahaha......" The old man finally couldn't hold back his laughter again. This time, Eric also expressed confusion about the old man's behavior, and even began to wonder if the old man was crazy.
Andy didn't want to waste time with the old man, his parents were still waiting for him, Rebecca hadn't given him food all day, he really didn't have any interest in this unknown old guy, and he didn't pay attention to the unrealistic promise.
Andy turned to leave, and Eric looked at the disappointed Andy and immediately said to the old man, "I would appreciate it if you could really give us food." ”
Andy slowly moved his steps with his back to Eric, hoping that the old man's promise would come true, so that he could give his parents a decent meal instead of bringing home the food discarded by others behind the tavern. "Wow, wow, ....... ”
As he was hesitating, Andy suddenly heard an exclamation behind him, he quickly turned around, and was surprised to find that the originally bare table was full of all kinds of delicacies, and Bunier's friends screamed excitedly around the table.
Andy saw at a glance that there were all kinds of bread on the edge of the table, which seemed to have just been baked. It is sprinkled with white desiccated coconut and has an enticing aroma. A whole turkey sits next to the bread, the turkey leg thicker than Andy's arm, and the charming aroma of meat wafts through the sauce-red chicken skin. Opposite the turkey is a large plate with a roast leg of lamb on top, and the delicate knife work makes the roasted lamb take on a regular petal shape, and each petal-shaped piece of lamb seems to be a work of art. There is also a variety of fresh fruit on the table, and the dew drops on the fruit are mouth-watering.
Andy was completely stunned, rubbing his eyes vigorously with his hands, and he saw that except for Eric, the three friends had already rushed up. Some eat bread in large gulps, and some lie directly on the turkey and tear the turkey meat outward, which is definitely a deadly way to eat.
The old man looked at Andy, and Andy looked at the food. Eric bowed deeply and said, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, but is it really okay? Is the food Rebecca's?"
Andy had the same question, and the old man replied when he heard Eric's inquiry, "These foods have nothing to do with that Rebecca, and please don't mention this name in front of me, I can't stand it...... Hahaha. Eric walked over to the table and picked up a loaf of bread and took a big bite on it, knowing that even if it wasn't true, he would have to eat enough of the food before it was gone.
Andy was a little embarrassed, he thought to himself: "What I just said may have gone too far, but those doubts are not completely unreasonable, after all, the old man in front of him doesn't look like a rich man at all." The old man looked at Andy, and he knew that Andy was a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to speak, "Come on, my child, please enjoy the food here." Andy didn't step forward, the old man reached out and dragged Andy over and said kindly: "Don't worry about what happened just now, do you think self-respect or food is more important now?"
