Chapter 55: Strange Men and Strangers
Mingcang Mansion is a well-known grain production base in Xuzhou, and naturally, the most famous specialty snacks in Mingcang Mansion are also related to various types of grain.
Xia Yuan was a famous gluttony when he was on earth, and his favorite thing was to go to various places to find food. In order to search for food, he would search everywhere he went. The reason why he can find food in places where others can't find it is because he has a different nose and can smell different food. But his nose can only search for food, and other aspects are undoubtedly the same as normal people. Therefore, when Xia Yuan was on Earth, he was called a "delicious dog" by his friends.
After Xia Yuan came to the Yuantu Continent, the most regrettable thing was that the nose was not brought with him, which made Xia Yuan very regretful.
Although the function of that nose did not follow, Xia Yuan's delicious habit did not decrease, but increased day by day. According to his words, because of the failure of the nose, he has caused the loss of many delicacies, and now he can only make up for it with his mouth.
Xia Yuan walked in the capital city of Nakura Castle, and he specially walked on some remote paths, which was Xia Yuan's experience of finding food on earth. The main road is usually a common food, which has long been known. Only those hidden in the middle of nowhere, are rare delicacies that can only be found by locals.
Xia Yuan walked along the remote path, and sure enough, in less than a while, Xia Yuan found many different delicacies, which were much more delicious than the food on the street. Xia Yuan is very happy to eat, and the special snacks in Mingcang Mansion are also very local characteristics, such as some Mingcang rice noodles, Daming rice dumplings, Xu Wang noodles, Dazheng rice noodles, Qingyuan taro buns and so on. They are all made from all kinds of grains.
Xia Yuan walked for half an hour, ate all the way, and already felt that he was full of eight layers. Just as he was about to go back and come back in the future, an extremely wonderful fragrance wafted over, hooking Xia Yuan's soul. Xia Yuan suddenly forgot his intention to leave, and slowly searched for the source of the fragrance.
Xia Yuan walked through a street corner and a long path before discovering the source of the fragrance at a bend.
It's a very small shop, the size of a normal person's house, and it only has one pot outside. Xia Yuan looked at the size of the pot, which was enough for three or four ordinary people to eat. Xia Yuan was not surprised at all when he saw this, even on the earth, there is also this kind of shop, and Xia Yuan has also experienced it. This kind of chef does not open a restaurant for any money, but to find a real eater.
You know, a good chef is hard to find, but a good diner is even harder to find. The relationship between a good chef and a good eater is no less than that between Boya and Ziji, and the communication between them is pure and harmonious.
Xia Yuan looked at it and found that there was already a diner here, and it was the fragrance in his bowl that attracted Xia Yuan. In addition, there was an old man who was already a lot of years old sitting on the side, quietly watching the fire. Both of them found out about Xia Yuan's arrival, but no one paid attention to him.
Xia Yuan was not embarrassed, he had seen a lot of this situation. When a person is proud of a certain sample leader who surpasses the world too much and has no soulmate, it will slowly develop into this.
Xia Yuan bowed to the old man who was watching the fire, and said sincerely: "Old man, I have always liked food, and this time I passed by nearby and smelled such delicious, I am really very happy. I don't know if I can be blessed to ask the old gentleman for a bowl to taste. ”
Hearing Xia Yuan's words, the diner looked at Xia Yuan in surprise, as if he didn't expect Xia Yuan to say this. When Xia Yuan first came, he was originally going to watch a good show on the side. If necessary, he could even take matters into his own hands to gain the favor of the old man. You must know that with his martial arts and status in the world, he can eat a bowl of food here today, and that is also due to the occasional favor owed by the family elders. I don't have to have another chance in the future!
At this time, not only did the diners look at Xia Yuan unexpectedly, but even the old man withdrew his gaze from the fire and looked in the direction of Xia Yuan in surprise. In the old man's memory, it seems that no one had ever begged him for food so bluntly.
When the old man was young, he had a special experience. After he achieved something, he became very sensitive to food, and for this reason, he also went around asking people for advice on how to make various delicacies. Over time, the old man also incorporated martial arts into his cuisine, thus creating a unique cuisine. This also made the old man even more proud. Ordinary people don't even want to smell it, let alone eat it. Xia Yuan can smell such a fragrance today, or because of this diner's relationship.
For this kind of person who is extremely proud in some aspects, Xia Yuan has always been very experienced. You must not lie in front of them. Because, in what they are good at, no matter what you say, they can see through it at a glance. They have reached the realm of transformation in what they are good at, and whatever your intentions are, they can see through it at a glance.
When the old man heard Xia Yuan say this, he made a big salute, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. With his experience, he could naturally see whether Xia Yuan was sincere or false. The old man could see at a glance that Xia Yuan didn't know his true identity, and the reason why he made this great gift was entirely because of the food. For such a diner who really likes his own food and has no other factors, the old man has never met it, and he likes it from the bottom of his heart.
The old man showed a rare smile, and said with a soft smile: "What did the little brother say, since the little brother appreciates the food cooked by the old man, then, don't be polite, just say what you want to eat, the old man will definitely make the guests satisfied." ”
The diner was shocked by the old man's words, and was even more surprised to see the old man's smile.
Although this old man is famous in the rivers and lakes, because of his early experience, the old man's temper has always been extremely eccentric. Although it does not kill innocents indiscriminately, it is by no means a kind person. Because he has always been single, has no relatives and no reason, and there are few enemies in his martial arts, no one is willing to provoke him easily, whether it is right or evil, and everyone avoids him. Even if he invented a unique martial arts delicacy, not many people would want to approach him.
As time passed, the old man's temper became more and more bizarre. The diner had never seen him smile, let alone never seen him, and even listened, as if he was born not to laugh.
The diner secretly observed from the sidelines, and sure enough, the old man smiled very stiffly, obviously not smiling for a long time.
It's just that the diner didn't pay attention, and his movements seemed a little feminine to outsiders.
