Chapter 48
Catherine's personality is colder, and most of the time, it is Gustav who leads the conversation.
Just as the atmosphere was getting more and more awkward, the waiter's voice came: "Is Miss Catherine Trive here? There's a table here, you can take a seat." ”
Catherine Trive Gustav thought about it for a moment, and it dawned on her: she was a sensitive person here, after all, and there were two opinions in the Arcane Plane about the affairs of the Demon Dynasty.
Cooperation with the Demon Dynasty of Gustan is considered necessary by the High Council of the Arcane Empire, but there is no agreement among the common people. Fortunately, Nata herself is more optimistic about this union, and there is no conflict. In the second administrative region of the original plane, there is also the cult of Arlet, where the Gustan dynasty is listed as one of the potential enemies. Although the Demon Dynasty is not as strictly opposed to the Night Children Council as it is to the Night Children Council, it also pursues a policy of 'no discussion, no involvement, and no attention'.
Catherine stood up, ready to pass. But she took two steps, and then thought about it. With a slight hesitation, Catherine turned back and asked, "Do you need to share a table together?" ”
This period of her study at Igbray gave Catherine, a descendant of the great nobles from Gustan, some new experiences, and gradually learned to take care of some of the emotions of others.
Nata and Catherine weren't familiar with each other, so she looked at Gustav.
"If you don't find it inconvenient Catherine, I think you can. Gustav looked at the crowd around him who were still waiting, and before him and Nata, there were at least a dozen people waiting.
According to the normal waiting time, there is at least half an hour of waiting time.
However, both Gustav and Nata were already a little hungry, the former had only come out of the portal of the Witcher's Guild more than an hour earlier, and the latter had been passive and anxious about his sister.
"I have two more ...... here Companion, can you count at the same table?" Catherine nodded, asking the waiter.
"That's okay, in fact, in order to alleviate the supply of tables during peak periods, we strongly encourage customers to use table pooling. The waiter smiled, picked up three menus from the side, and led the three people inside.
The table where Catherine was waiting was right after entering the dining room, next to the wine rack.
There was a soothing sound of organ music, and the occasional crisp sound of knives, forks and plates clattering.
"Good evening, I'm Gina, the waiter in charge of this area, what do the next three need?" The waiter in charge of this table walked over, a young girl, who could be seen to be a hybrid of human and elf, and had the physical advantages of both.
"I need a classic set meal for mastodon steak," said Gustav, who doesn't want to try too many new suits, and is very hungry right now, so it's important to fill his stomach first. "What about you, Nata and Catherine?"
"Me too, a classic meal of mastodon steak. Also, I have an additional request, can you help me exchange the wine for a glass of flaming agave?" Nata asked as she handed the menu back to the waiter.
Dragons are very tolerant of alcohol, and agave, which is considered a strong drink by ordinary people, will be considered able to be eaten by dragonmen. This is a common denominator to almost all of Redfarr's dragon customers, and the waiter is not surprised. As long as it is in the plane of dragonman's existence, if you need to describe a person who can drink in particular, it is said that he is like a dragonman, a wine barrel, which is a high praise for drunkards.
"Of course, in fact, I was tempted to ask before you even spoke. Gina smiled and jotted down Nata's request in the menu book in her hand, "What about you, Miss Catherine?
Catherine was a regular visitor to the place, and there were not many customers with such good looks and manners as her, and Gina was very impressed with her.
"Yes, of course. Catherine nodded, hesitated, and added, "Besides, an extra infernal soup?" I would like to get these two companions to try the flavor of Gustan as well." ”
"Okay. Gina finally confirmed: "So, the order of the three of them is a classic meal of mastodon steak, a regular table wine, and another classic meal uses igneous agave instead of the table wine, as well as a hell of soup and a Gustan III meal, if it is confirmed, I will go to the back kitchen." ”
............
The restaurant brought some pre-dinner bread and everyone's refreshing salad.
Rolling some salad with a fork and putting it in his mouth, feeling the sourness of the salad dressing, Gustav felt that it was good to be alive.
"How should Gustav's flavor be described?, Catherine, can you elaborate specifically?"
"Gustan's food?" Catherine thought for a moment before describing: "It's as cruel as the environment in the abyss, and the flavor of the dish is strong." In addition, since I got out of the abyss, many of the original ingredients can no longer be used, and now they are only very different from other dishes in terms of taste. ”
That is, Gustan's cuisine has a strong taste...... Gustav summed it up and wrote it down.
"Hell Soup, why is it called Hell Soup?" Nata suddenly seemed to be a blind student who had discovered Hua Dian, "Isn't the main combat power of the Gustan Dynasty all from the Abyss? According to this logic, it should be called Abyss Bisque, or maybe it is more appropriate to call it Gustan's special soup." ”
Catherine tore a slice of bread with her hands.
"This is a food created during the previous bloody battle between the Abyss and Hell, and it is a very special color, it is a bright red color made of beetroot root, and at that time, in order to encourage the demons to unite as much as possible, this soup was called Hell Soup. There is a saying that drinking this thick soup is like drinking the blood of the devil. ”
Gustav was dumbfounded: Isn't this 'ambition to eat devil's meat, laughing and thirsting for Styx blood'?
"It's really ......straightforward," Nata sighed, but then said, "There are similar foods in the dragon's recipes, like when all dragons are called 'dragons' in the belief of the gods, and when we dragons eat pies, we dragons will say 'Dragon Quest'." ”
Gustav asked curiously, "Why? Why is the pie called 'Dragon Quest'?"
Nata smiled and said, "At that time, the pie would be sprinkled with a layer of white sesame seeds when baked, and from a distance, it looked like a dense mass of things attached to the pie, and from the image of sesame seeds fighting against the pie itself." The Dragon Gate hates the people who come to slay the dragon with a steady stream of 'oracles', but there is no place to vent, so they call this pie 'Dragon Quest'."
