Chapter 54: Lunch Time

The meal has already been served, four dishes and one soup plus three bowls of hot rice, although the appearance is ordinary, but the aroma is full of flavor and charming, so that people as long as they smell it next to it, there is an urge to sit down and eat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As Rose said, they are all home-cooked dishes, the knife work is casual and the containers are ordinary, and the ingredients used are all seemingly ordinary, but the taste is slightly different from the home-cooked dishes eaten elsewhere, and it is these subtle differences that make people can't help but linger.

In fact, the subtle difference comes from the raw materials.

The owner of the restaurant is obviously a smart man, or rather, their family has been smart in business for generations, and they know very well what is the cheapest ingredient in this mercenary city, but it is the most familiar and loved by the guests.

There is no doubt that for the mercenaries who were born in the wilderness and buried in the wilderness, the time spent wandering around the wilderness and fighting is even far more than the time spent repairing in the city, of course, they will carry food supplies with them in case of emergency, but a trip may take a month or two, and it is simply unrealistic to rely only on urban supplies, so more often, the mercenaries' food still comes from the wilderness.

Fortunately, there is never loneliness in the wilderness, and when humans retreat into the city and give up large swaths of the wilderness outside, the wilderness becomes a paradise for wildlife. Plants and beasts can be found everywhere, even in the most arid and barren land, and if you look underground, you will find insects, snakes, rats and ants everywhere, and you can harvest a delicious meal by digging casually. I'm afraid that food can be found everywhere except in the desert, where no grass grows.

Of course, it's hard to say who the food is, living in the wilderness is nothing more than the relationship between eating and being eaten, and the identities between food and hunters can be reversed at any time. The alien beasts did not write their identities on their faces, and there are indeed some alien beasts with abnormal body shapes, which can be distinguished at a glance, but most of the dangerous alien beasts are no different from their close relatives of the same kind, and even the vast majority of herbivores, alien beasts and beasts live together and cannot be distinguished at all, so that there are still a large number of mercenaries who kick the iron plate during the wild hunting process and die in the wilderness because of carelessness.

But in any case, the most common food for mercenaries is the wild animals in the wilderness, especially the social carnivorous alien beasts that want to treat them as food, but are turned into food by them, they have long been accustomed to the taste of these strange beasts, and if they really let them go back to eat domestic livestock, they will feel that they lack some wild taste.

At the same time, the meat of alien beasts is extremely cheap in the chaotic city, and many teams will harvest a large number of alien beast corpses on the way back from the end of the mission, such as the half-human-tall gold-eating rat that feeds on metal, and the apical antelope that comes and goes like the wind in groups, and the apical antelope whose forehead can break the giant tree, and the hard-armored wild boar that wears heavy armor and even armor-piercing rifle bullets cannot leave traces, the mercenaries simply packaged and sold it directly in the market.

A long time ago, the second-generation owners of the small door face restaurant seized the business opportunity, they took advantage of the opportunity of this business that no one had noticed, and began to buy the flesh and blood of alien beasts from various mercenary groups, regardless of the type, and then developed new recipes for these special ingredients, and the final result was that the restaurant was full of people and the scale continued to expand. By the time other restaurants noticed the market, they had already gained a firm foothold, and no one could influence their position.

Now in front of the three of them, it is these ingredients that are not particularly cheap, but the taste is still loved by the mercenaries.

The hot pig heart material is taken from the bloodthirsty and carnivorous sharp-toothed boar, which can single-handedly take on two or three low-level mercenaries, and although their meat is rough, their hearts are exceptionally delicious.

When the food is served, small pieces of pork hearts that have been fried to a golden brown are piled up in the center of the plate, exuding a scorching aroma, and a few leaves are dotted around, looking green and lovely. Pick up a piece and put it in front of you, the transparent grease seeps out from the inside along the traces of the chopsticks, and at the same time, there is a faint aroma of wine. Stuffed into the mouth and bitten down, under the burnt skin, the tender muscles are full of elasticity, chew hard, the full juice breaks through the skin and bursts in the mouth, so that the indescribable taste instantly fills every taste bud on the tongue. As soon as you start eating the first piece, no one can resist its charm, and no one can stop diners from eating the whole plate of pork heart.

However, although the hot pork heart is good, how can it compare to the sauce rat legs.

The legs of the sauce rat must be selected to live in groups, and the best at jumping out from under the ground and attaching to the prey to eat flesh and blood of the jerboa, their hind legs can make them jump thirty or forty meters, thick and powerful, full of elasticity. The meat of the hind legs of the jerboa is shaken in a special machine for four hours to make the muscle fibers break up without breaking, and then it is cooked in a 70-year-old soup for 24 hours before it can be cooked. The soy rat leg made in this way is torn by hand, the muscle fibers are distinct, put into the mouth, the meat is soft but chewy, and the rich salty flavor of the old soup is integrated into every muscle fiber, which only captures the soul of the diners, and makes people can't help but want to lick their fingers and plates.

If you eat too much meat, of course, you have to have a bowl of hot and sour soup. In the soup pot, the brown soup exudes the smell of balsamic vinegar and pepper, white tofu, yellow egg flowers, and black fungus are loaded and floated in the soup, put a bowl under the nose and smell it, the acidity of balsamic vinegar and the spicy pepper go straight to the top of the head along the nasal cavity, making people can't help but cry, and relieve the greasy feeling brought by meat.

When the food was put on the table, the female leopard and rose, who were originally negotiating with the crow, immediately closed their mouths, and the female leopard picked up the chopsticks on the table, glanced at the crow vigilantly, muttered that the hand is fast and the hand is slow, so she quickly picked up a sauce rat leg and stuffed it into her mouth, as if she was afraid that the crow would grab food from her. Rose didn't move her chopsticks, holding her chin and tilting her head to look at the female leopard who was gobbling up, with a smile on her face.

"Is it really that delicious?" the crow sniffed suspiciously, nodding his head, "It smells good, but I don't know how it tastes." ”

"You can try. Rose raised her chin at the female leopard with a smile, "Xiaohuo hasn't eaten so happily for several years, heh, what the little milk cat likes most is to huddle together with his companions to grab food." ”

"Whew. The female leopard didn't know what to say in her vague protests, and she didn't care about arguing with Rose about the title, so she stuffed food into her mouth.
