Chapter 26: Fame Rises
King's Landing, Mercenary Guild. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Tibbit, Titan, you promised us that if it didn't taste good, you would lose money. A mercenary patted the instant noodle bowl in his hand and said.
"Of course, I promise. Tibbit gave a thumbs up.
As for the Mercenary Guild, the Mercenary Guild here is not as depicted in fantasy novels, with a huge quest sign and a scantily clad bunny girl as a Kanban girl, in fact, the Mercenary Guild in King's Landing is just a building that has the functions of publishing and accepting quests, lodging, and taverns.
This building is built next to the square near the business district of King's Landing, although it is not the most lively place in the city, but it is also very popular, after all, the mercenary association can do any job, anyone who loses a puppy at home, or who wants to buy a special product from a distant place, or send a letter or other work, can be posted here, there is always a mercenary of the corresponding level will do it for you.
Of course, this is not the main service of the Mercenary Association, after all, the word "mercenary" does not come for nothing, if it is just to do these daily tasks, it is better to call it the Nanny Association.
Although the kingdom of West is still quite stable now, but, just like the general medieval background fantasy world, in this kind of inconvenient communication and sparsely populated world, killing people and stealing goods in the wild is a common thing, even if you don't meet robbers, that person wants to go out and travel, but you don't want to take the official road, or there is no road connection where you want to go, then it is inevitable to pass through the uninhabited wilderness or jungle.
Without the protection of mercenaries, an ordinary person who wants to cross the jungle far from King's Landing will be killed in the mouth of a beast that will not care if you are human and dislike your flesh.
In addition to being bodyguards, mercenaries also take on more dangerous tasks, such as going deep into a swamp or rainforest to collect certain items, and the nobles like to decorate their houses with these strange things.
Sitting around the big wooden table in the association, the seven people opened the instant noodle box in their hands, as for the hot water, it is naturally always available in the association, a group of people under the guidance of Tibit and Titan, soaked the instant noodles, as for the ham sausage and braised eggs, what Su Fei told them was that they could throw these two things directly into the instant noodle bowl.
You know, the mercenary association has the function of a bar, and there are special discounts for mercenaries here, and there are almost no mercenaries in the world who don't drink, so the mercenary association is usually even more lively than the tulip restaurant, after all, the tulip restaurant is not something that ordinary people can afford.
At first, the members of this Table Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group did not attract the attention of others, after all, they were only an inconspicuous one among the countless mercenary groups, until ......
"Hmm? Do you smell it, there's a smell in the association. ”
"Of course, I'm not blind on my nose!"
"Boss, there's something new coming out of the bar?" said a mercenary as he walked up to the counter and said to the equally stout old man inside, with one eye covered by a black cloth.
"No, it's still the same thing, ale, brown bread, roast. The boss sharpened his knife and said, "Recently, the salt has been tight, and the barbecue has not been sprinkled with salt, do you want it?"
......
After the people in the association confirmed that it was not the bar that came out with a new dish, their eyes gathered on the table of the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group.
The people at the table looked at the source of the aroma in front of them almost reverently, the instant noodle bowl.
“192!193!194...... 198!199!”
“200!”
A table of people, led by Tibit and Titan, counted loudly, and when the number 200 was finished, they tore off the lid of the instant noodle bowl as if they suddenly saw a large box of gold in front of them, and greedily sniffed the steaming steam.
"Oh my God, how did you two meet that boss!"
"Oh my God, that's ...... I've never had such delicious noodles!"
"Recently, the taverns and restaurants in the city have lacked salt, and only the dishes in heaven and earth are still a little salty, but I promise that this taste is so high that I don't know where it is higher than the signature dishes of heaven and earth restaurants!"
They were all strong men with three or five thick pounds, with ham sausages and braised eggs, and the table of the mountain wolf mercenary group quickly swept away the instant noodles, and at this time, they found that a large circle of people had gathered around their table, and even the one-eyed bar owner was standing in the crowd.
If there is anyone in the world who likes to brag and talk nonsense the most, except for the nasty politicians who are full of mouths and third-rate authors who are full of ideas, it is the mercenary.
Mercenaries generally don't have too high a culture, their world fist is the truth, in fact, this truth is much more effective than those words written on dogma, and they don't need to spend their precious lives learning those philosophies that they can't use in their lifetime, if they fight with people and don't convince each other, then fight, there is nothing that can't be solved by a fight, if there is, then cut a fight, until one of them has no chance to be unconvinced.
However, seeing blood at every turn is too rough, even if it is a mercenary, the most used is not the biceps, but the mouth muscles.
The smell of instant noodles filled the entire association first, and the men of the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group praised the shop to the sky, coupled with the mercenary people's temperament of liking to join in the fun, in just ten minutes, the mercenary group made up a large team of people to visit the shop.
Together with the seven members of the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Group, a team of more than 20 people walked out of the Mercenary Association and walked into the business district, and in the panicked eyes of the traders and passers-by, they rushed into Tongjiao Street, which was located in the most remote location of the business district.
At the same time, at Tulip Restaurant, there is also a surge of people.
"Boss, boss, do you still have the barbecue you sold just now?"
"Yes, salt has been tight recently, and other restaurants have begun to change their dishes to varieties that don't need salt, and your barbecue can still make this taste. ”
"Bring me one!"
"I want it too! I'm your old guest!"
The butler of Tulip Restaurant is now anxiously facing the diners gathered in front of the counter.
Just now, after Lida and Cook came to the restaurant with Lao Gan Ma, they tried to add a little to the general barbecue, according to the original production method, but the traditional soybean sauce was replaced by Lao Gan Ma, and after serving a few plates in small amounts, it immediately caused a discussion in the store.
After all, even Kuker, who has studied food all his life, is full of praise for this kind of thing, how can these ordinary diners not be surprised? After tasting the taste of the barbecue, the few customers who were lucky enough to eat it immediately asked for another one, and one of them even gave the barbecue to many people in the store to taste.
You know, Lida and Cooker just wanted to do experiments and see what the old godmother was saying in other people's mouths, but they didn't expect the reaction to be so violent.
However, no matter how much the diners asked, Lida was reluctant to entertain them with the old godmother, so the housekeeper of the restaurant could only repeat the explanation that the barbecue had been discontinued.
As for some people who want to ask what the fluffy bean-like condiment used for barbecue is, and how it is prepared.
Hmph, no comment.
