Chapter 50: The Birthday Party
The next day, before she went to Lijia's birthday, there was a knock on the door. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Luo Lan opened the door, only to see a dark short-haired boy, wearing an ordinary cloth shirt and trousers, and there was still some beauty between his eyebrows, the little boy stood at the door and saw the person who opened the door stunned, obviously did not expect to be an undead.
"Excuse me...... Is Lucia at home?" the short-haired boy seemed a little cramped when he first came over, apparently forgetting that the skeleton on the other side couldn't speak.
Luo Lan stayed in school for a few days, and had an impression of this deep-haired boy, and the first time he saw him was on the first day of school, the junior apprentice who came up bravely after the aristocratic eldest lady Jiuhua was called Blair. He usually has a good relationship with Lucia Lijia, but he didn't expect to find home directly today, and I don't know what happened.
Lucia was still upstairs preparing things to go out, and Luo Lan beckoned the deep-haired boy Blair to sit in the living room for a while, only to see the little girl coming downstairs with a birthday present. The two greeted each other and whispered for a moment, Lucia smiled and patted him on the shoulder, signaling reassurance, and the three closed the room and walked towards Lijia's house.
Along the way, the deep-haired boy Blair looked quite nervous, and the little girl was constantly cheering and encouraging in the gang.
Luo Lan listened for a long time before finally understanding the reason, it turned out that this Blair has always had a crush on the aristocratic lady Jiuhua in the same class, but because of his civilian status and the fact that he usually does not have much intersection with Jiuhua in school, he has never had the courage to pursue confession, and as a result, Lucia and Lijia, who have a good relationship, know about it, so they took the opportunity of this birthday to invite Jiuhua to the same class and create an opportunity for him to confess.
Luo Lan, who knew what had happened, couldn't cry or laugh, this group of half-grown children was simply more precocious than the other, and they were about to fall in love at a young age, and there were also assists. If you put it in the school of your previous life, you must invite the parents one by one. But now this is not a world at all, and it seems that there is no prohibition of love in the academy, but there are many incidents such as marriage and doll kissing in the city family, and as far as he knows, there is a pair of apprentices in the academy who are engaged to be in their teens.
And strictly speaking, Luo Lan's age is not much older than them, and he was struck by lightning just after his nineteenth birthday in his previous life. The real emotional experience alone may not be as rich as this group of primary school students, so he just sighed beside him that the world is declining.
After walking for a long time to the banquet restaurant opened by Lijia's house, I saw a tall building made of stone bricks made of Serissa, with a pair of sculptures of six stout stone pillars lined up in front of the door, and there are steps below and neat flowers and plants planted on both sides, which is quite a bit of grandeur and luxury, and one of the signboards has the names of three golden hotels in Sykes, which adds to the sense of gorgeousness.
He thought Lucia was talking about a restaurant or something, but he didn't expect it to be a richly decorated hotel, which was probably not comparable to many in the whole city.
The three of them walked into the Sykes Grand Ballroom, where several private rooms were full of banquets, with large red carpets and crowds of people dressed in various costumes. They followed the waiter's guidance and soon found Lijia, the protagonist of her birthday, and a group of apprentice friends from the Academy.
Lijia looks very beautiful in a well-dressed dress, and the abundance on her chest that does not match her age is about to come out, which is very different from the low-key image in the college. Lucia first congratulated each other, and then a celebrant led Lijia to the stage to congratulate her. If the wealthy nobles of Ayalan hold birthday banquets, the ceremony has always been more cumbersome, but fortunately, with Lijia's request in advance, the process is much simplified.
Soon it was time for the guests to eat on their own, and the birthday party was all buffet-style, and Lucia found Blair after a simple two-bite meal. At this time, the aristocratic lady Jiuhua was on the balcony on the second floor, so she urged Blair to hurry up and confess, looking more expectant than the person concerned.
"Well, let's hope Blair succeeds. ”
After watching the boy walk towards the noble lady on the balcony, Lucia exhaled softly, as if she had accomplished some important task. Then he pulled up Luo Lan and said, "My gift hasn't been given to Lijia yet, Mr. Suzumu, let's go find her together." ”
Luo Lan nodded, no objections. Anyway, as a dead spirit, he didn't have to eat any food, and there were no people to entertain at the banquet, so he just followed the little girl around, just to see this kind of medieval-like architecture and birthday party.
But when she found Lijia, she and her father, the owner of the banquet restaurant, were standing in front of the kitchen in the back and listening to something. Walking over, I saw a fat man in a chef's costume report with an embarrassed face: "Boss, it's not that a few dishes on this menu are not served, but there is really no way to make them." ”
"Well, why can't you do it, is it because the raw materials are not enough? Didn't I say in advance that I would connect with the supplier early?" Lijia's father, with his medium-long hair curled up, was tall and quite majestic, and when he asked at this time, the fat chef's head lowered even more in fright.
"It's not that we don't contact the food suppliers, that damn old Jesse, when he came in the last few times, explained that he couldn't find the hunters who offered antelope meat and chalyx in the northern town of Zekalinya, and it seemed to be gone. The fat chef was resigned.
"Since this supplier is gone, why don't you hurry up and contact other ingredient stores and suppliers?I remember that the food list provided by the Bright Church people also needs these two things the day before yesterday!
"Sorry, sorry boss. The fat chef said with trepidation: "Although other ingredient suppliers have goods, antelope ostrich meat and zhenhong calyx are specialties near the town of Zekalinya, and it will take at least a month and a half to wait for other ingredient suppliers to import goods from other places...... Although the Holy See of Light placed the order in advance, it will take about two months in total until the next goods come, plus the pickling time of the chefs. ”
"What?!The Holy See of Brightness is going to entertain a big person, and something happened at this juncture!" Lijia's father was about to be furious, but his daughter next to him endured it.
For the forces in the city, in addition to the city lord, it is the Holy See of Light that is the most important. If they push away their order this time, although it will not offend, it is certain that a big customer will be lost, and it may be detrimental to the future development of the store. But the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to criticize his subordinates, only to push off the order after the banquet.
Lucia, who was next to her, rolled her eyes when she saw this scene, and quietly pulled Luo Lan's sleeve.
"Mr. Suzumo, why don't we go to Zekalinya Town this time, because it's on the edge of the Twilight Forest, it's a supply gathering place for many adventurers in the city. You're going to devour the souls, there are plenty of beasts in the Twilight Forest, and we can also look for antelopes, and if we can catch them, we can get extra income. ”
