Chapter 18: A Day in Senaia
"Little Maggie, you can recommend it. Standing in the central square, the only place in the city that is a little more spacious, Catherine asked, "What places do you recommend guests to visit in general?"
"Hmm, let me think about it. Maggie tilted her head, pointed her fingers at her lips, and her thin eyebrows furrowed: "If it were the guests I was usually in charge of, I would introduce them to the shopping street to buy souvenirs, such as the costumes of the wasteland, handicrafts, bone products of the underground monsters of the wasteland, strange tools excavated near the goblin ruins, medicines from the wasteland, There are ancient books in the wasteland ruins that can't read the text, and there are some ornaments with the characteristics of the western wasteland, of course, ninety-nine percent of these things are useless, and they are very expensive, anyway, those guests don't care about this expenditure, they don't care if it's useful or not. After buying the souvenirs, I recommend them to go to a few restaurants near the city center for lunch, generally I would recommend the style of Senaia, the paradise of water, the plant world of these three, they are indeed very distinctive, but the bigger feature is expensive, basically three or four people, a meal to eat a thousand gold coins is very saving. After eating, I will rent a carriage to go around the nearby foggy wilderness and singing hills, those two places are really interesting, the first time I go I will feel very satisfied, if there is still time, go to the headwind canyon to play for a while, the canyon is also very fun, no matter which way to enter, as long as you are in the canyon, you will feel that it is walking against the wind, even if you turn back in it, the way back is also a headwind. ”
"Hey, the Windwind Canyon is here?" Vivian whispered, "Scholars have been studying the cause of the Windwind Canyon, but there is still no definite conclusion, I have always wanted to see it with my own eyes, we must go to it in a while." ”
"Windward Canyon, Wall of Memories, Unquenchable Levitating Flame. Freya's profession as a mechanic is a branch of scholars, and although it focuses on mechanics, it is also very knowledgeable: "These are the three most intractable mysteries of nature, which can be seen and touched, but no one can figure out what the reason is, and it is highly recommended to go and see them." ”
"You two don't mess with it. Catherine glanced at the two girls who had never finished talking about theoretical knowledge: "Little Maggie, leave them alone, you go on, what else?"
"That's pretty much it. Maggie said: "When they come back from a round of play, those people are already very tired, and after going to those three restaurants for dinner, they usually go back to rest." ”
"From what you say, it's not like you're recommending them to visit. Pannis put his face in front of Maggie and said with a mocking smile: "You seem to recommend them to spend money, aren't you afraid that they will make trouble for you after they react?" ”
"Originally, I recommended them to spend money, and they were all merchants controlled by the Chamber of Commerce, and I had a commission. Maggie crossed her waist and said proudly: "I just recommended, and I didn't force them to spend money, both parties are willing, what am I afraid of, hum." ”
"Is it? it's okay to take a cut?" Pennis grinned and threatened, "I'm going to expose you to those people, unless...... When we get to the place, let's go on a date together, have a cup of tea, and ......"
"Maggie, hit him. ”
"Bang", Maggie punched Pannis's nose very obediently, although a light punch by an ordinary person is no different from touching it for a professional, but Pannis still jumped up with a snort, covered his nose and glared at Lina: "Why did you let her hit me?"
"The position of the face is so good. Lina pushed her glasses and said calmly, "It's going to be very uncomfortable if you don't hit it." ”
"Hey, what kind of reason is that. Pannis said to Catherine dissatisfied: "Catherine, as the head of the group, can you bear to watch one member bully another member like this? ”
"Hmph. Catherine sneered, flicked her long hair and turned to leave: "Little Maggie, let's go, don't pay attention to this idiot." ”
"Hmph. As soon as Pannis's pleading gaze turned to Vivian's face, Vivien snorted coldly, pursed her lips in disgust, and tilted her head to pass by Pannis.
"I have to admit that sometimes you are indeed duller than stupid, and I don't know if it's real or pretended. Freya patted Pannis on the shoulder and said comfortingly, but her eyes lit up and she embraced it with open arms: "But I just like such Mr. Pannis, and only such a Mr. Pannis can firmly occupy the girl's heart." ”
"Help. Pannis's face was panicked, and he escaped from Freya's embrace with his hands and feet, and turned his head and ran: "I suddenly feel that there is danger on the ship, I want to go back to the ship, help." ”
"Hush. The three girls let out a cold snort neatly, feeling the tacit understanding between each other, looked at each other, and sighed at the same time.
―――――――――――――――
"Those three stores are really distinctive, such as the style of Senaya, from the interior decoration to the taste of the food is pure western wilderness characteristics, Aqualand is to use expensive water to create a small artificial lake in the store, people eat in the pavilion on the lake, and Botanical World is to build an artificial botanical garden, people eat among the flowers. Especially the latter two, the outside is a piece of loess and gravel, but the inside is a lake and plants, this contrast is so beautiful that many people are willing to spend this gold coin. But actually as far as the food goes, I don't recommend it there. Like a travel expert, Maggie analyzed the girls who were going to eat in advance and then go out of the city to play: "Those three mainly rely on the environment to make money, and the taste of the food is no different from those ordinary restaurants outside." If you really want to enjoy the food, come with me, the real specialties are found in places that are hard to find in tourists and only locals. ”
"It's up to you. The four girls rarely do this kind of simple tourism in an unfamiliar city, and they are very interested in these things, and they say with great interest: "You must take us to eat the best special food." ”
"Then go to the one I go to regularly, and make sure it's delicious. Maggie and the five of them walked around the alleys of the city, and along the way, they could see tourists of all kinds of costumes and races pointing around the city. As we delved deeper, it became clear that fewer and fewer pedestrians were tourists, and more locals wrapped themselves in robes.
"Why are they all dressed like this in such a hot environment?" Lina asked curiously, holding her glasses, "Don't you feel hot?"
"The sun here is so strong that it prevents the skin from being burned by the sun. Maggie apparently frequents the area, explaining clearly: "And it's very hot during the day, so it doesn't run out of moisture." Of course these are just for the poor, and if the people are a little bit richer, they dress like this just because, hehe, it's cooler. ”
"Cool?" the girls looked at Maggie with wide eyes and asked in surprise, "You're not wrong, how can it be cool?"
Only Vivien realized and asked tentatively, "Could it be that you use a spar?"
"It's amazing, just guess it. Maggie praised: "Those tiny ice attribute spar fragments, fifty terres, several pieces of gold coins, use special tools every morning to make the energy in the spar begin to slowly escape, and then stuff it into the robe, basically it can be kept cool for a day." In this way, each person will have an extra expenditure of four or five gold coins a month, and the poor can't afford it, of course, but the rich don't care. Okay, here we are, it's the stone-roasted lizard. Morning, uncle, I'll bring my friends to dinner. ”
"Haha, little Maggie, long time no see. The gray-haired and robed shopkeeper was sitting lazily in the shadows of the house drinking water, when he heard Maggie's voice and quickly got up and said, "Six, come in and sit." ”
With curiosity, several girls walked into the old house made of loess, the door was relatively narrow, Freya encountered a little trouble when entering the door, but it was quickly resolved, and the solution was of course to enter sideways. Sure enough, as Pannis said, as soon as they entered the house, the girls felt a chill, as if the flame-like temperature of the outside world was completely cut off by the walls. Maggie ran to a corner, and stuck out her tongue at Pannis, before beckoning to the girls, "Sisters, come on, it's the coolest here, and it's the best ventilated, so it's not hot even when you're eating." ”
"Does it still get hot when you eat?" said Catherine, sitting down, "Is there anything special about it?"
"Hey, the first course will be. Listening to the tinkling in the kitchen for a while, Maggie smiled mysteriously: "Look, it's coming up, stone-roasted lizard." ”
"Well, it's this thing, it's really good. Pannis saw the shopkeeper come out of the kitchen with six plates and a basket with a large stone in the other, and nodded, "It is indeed a specialty of the Western Wastelands." ”
"Have you eaten it?" asked Catherine, "what is the matter with that stone?"
"It's a special local stone that is very heat-absorbent. Put the stone in the sun for two or three hours, and the temperature is enough for an omelette to roast meat. When the shopkeeper had placed the stone in the middle of the table and placed the plate beside him, Pannis pointed to the plate and said, "One serving per person, which is also a local specialty, a large lizard, choose the best meat on their hind legs and back, cut it into thin slices, put it on the stone and grill it, and eat it when both sides have changed color." The stone itself contains natural mineral salts, and when the meat is grilled, the saltiness naturally penetrates into the meat, and there is no need for seasoning, and the taste is exceptionally good. ”
"Well, Mr. Pennis is right. Although Pannis always teased her, Maggie knew very well that it was just a joke, and did not hold a grudge against Pannis, so she happily picked up a slice of lizard meat with a clip and stuck it flat on the stone: "I often order gopher meatballs, fried stone swallow breast, caryophyllum shoots, fried wild ants, and finally lichen mille-feuille, try them all, I believe you will not be disappointed." ”
"It tastes so good. Catherine placed a piece of lizard meat on the stone, and the slice immediately made a snorting sound and began to change color in a few seconds. Anyway, both sides were baked, and Catherine tentatively put it in her mouth, and a simple but rough taste filled Catherine's mouth. Catherine couldn't help but give Maggie a thumbs up: "You are indeed an expert who is familiar with this place, and I am now not only looking forward to the other dishes you recommend, but also the places you have not recommended and will go to in a while." ”
"Hey, let's go a little farther away. Maggie blinked and whispered, "How about we go to the hot springs in the afternoon, I haven't soaked in the hot springs in the summer, I guarantee you will love that feeling." (To be continued.) )
