317. Plague and Food
What Brother Zhang didn't expect was that Grey quickly brought a group of people to the store for the second round of tasting, and this time the level visible to the naked eye dropped a big circle, those were royal groups before, and this time they were civilian groups.
These people are all dressed in civilian clothes and do not have a very luxurious temperament, and their appearance will be very different from that of the noble group, and there are ordinary magicians and mid-level officers here, and even some wandering swordsmen.
These people are Grey's friends, and they get along very well, but their visit is more like a dinner party than to a dinner party.
As for novelties such as televisions and fans, they are not as restrained as the nobles, and the exclamations come and go, but this atmosphere is close to the temperament of a small restaurant, and there is no sense of disobedience of those elegant aristocrats here.
"Hahahaha, they just know that I am a ronin, but they don't know that I am actually a sword master, those bandits surrounded me in the middle and asked me to hand over valuable things, so I told them to ask me if the blade of Rogendras agreed."
"I don't really know how to complete this magic, every time I release it, it will summon something that is not what I need, and it is very weak, I heard that there is a magician in the magic tower of the Iron Curtain City who can summon it completely, and after a while I decided to go to him to see."
Some people are frantically showing off themselves, and some people are discussing knowledge with their friends.
And when Xu Wei put the food in front of them, they began to eat, no matter what their ability was, but it could be seen that their background was very ordinary, because most people's eating appearance was actually ugly, when they encountered something that could surprise them, they would scream at the first time, and loudly introduce their feelings to their friends.
There are almost 20 people here, and Brother Zhang gave different set menus, including fried pork ribs, fried pork cutlets, fried pork ribs, fried chicken nuggets, small crispy meat, pistol legs, French fries, hash browns, potato balls, croquettes, etc., as well as some simple side dishes, such as mustard duck feet, raw and diced octopus, etc., and drinks are randomly matched between beer, sake, rice wine, cola, 7-up, etc.
Different combinations will have a completely different experience, and all of these packages are worth one silver coin.
Grey's friends ate very happily, although they had different standards for food, they all expressed satisfaction and appreciation for Xiao Zhang's food without exception, and after hearing the price, they all expressed their due surprise, because these people have all walked the rivers and lakes, and it is hard to imagine that such a rich food can only need a silver coin in such a considerable amount.
In most places in the Western Continent, a silver coin can only be exchanged for one-third of the amount here, and the taste is only worthy of feeding pigs.
In the end, they gave their own comprehensive evaluation, and the highest score turned out to be beer, which Xiao Zhang didn't expect, he personally thought that it might be chicken cutlets, chicken legs, or even potato chips, but he never expected it to be beer.
But without exception, all the people who drank beer gave very satisfactory advice, because in the Western Continent, the brewing itself is not privately licensed, only the official breweries are qualified to brew, and not everyone is qualified to drink, if you want to drink in the restaurant, you must have a local resident registration, and everyone will limit the amount, plus because of the scarcity of alcohol, most of the breweries will add a lot of water to the finished wine, which makes them very unaccustomed to high alcohol.
And this situation also made Xiao Brother Zhang figure out why their royal winery would choose to use dog tail grass to make wine, because winemaking requires food, although they are indeed a mid-to-high-level military world, but the productivity is like that, although they will not starve, but they will definitely open up drinking like here. The reason for this is that food can only be maintained between "a little hungry" and "it is almost enough", and because sake brewing consumes a lot of food, and alcohol cannot fill the stomach, it can even be classified as a luxury there.
The reason why the beer is so highly rated is because it can not only meet the drinking needs of these people, but also ensure a certain degree of deliciousness, and moonshine there is not only illegal, but also because the technology is not up to standard, a large number of alcohol will have a sour taste, and with the special taste brought by fusel and herbs added to maintain the taste during blending, the requirements for alcohol in this world are extremely low.
The second place in praise is the pork cutlet, because of the scarcity of oil in the mainland, it is difficult for them to eat very oily food, fish oil and horse oil are their most common fats, but how can those fats be compared with the fats embedded in the food, so they think that the higher the fat content, the better the taste of the food. And in all the foods, the spicy, fragrant and greasy pork chops that are covered with breadcrumbs and contain about 15% of the fat and are smeared with a layer of paprika naturally become their first choice.
Heavy sip with beer, the choice of working people is often surprisingly consistent.
Healthy...... Is that the time to talk about health? Not to mention the older ones, even if you go back to the sixties and seventies and ask the people who will come over, how many of them will worry about their health because they eat too well.
So after setting this tone, Brother Zhang's restaurant in another world was finalized and officially opened.
And just when Brother Zhang was thinking about opening a store, a worldwide cold wave suddenly came, and the entire northern hemisphere seemed to be frozen, and the minimum temperature near the equator was close to zero, which was almost equivalent to 38 degrees in the Arctic Circle in summer, which was catastrophic.
Grain production began to be reduced on a large scale or even cut out of harvest, and Europe was cut into four parts, namely those lacking food, oil, money, and medicine. Some can even stack several buffs at the same time, 29 of the 44 countries in Europe have begun to ask for humanitarian aid from the world, and the situation in several old empires is even more collapsed, the energy crisis brought about by extreme cold, the energy crisis is also accompanied by a pandemic of infectious diseases, as soon as there are many infectious diseases, medical resources will be run, medical resources will be run, and the mortality rate will skyrocket.
The mortality rate went up, and then the panic began to spread, once the panic hit, the order was inevitably threatened, all types of crime have reached the highest point since the First World War, and superpower crimes have directly exceeded 70%, which means that seven out of ten superpower people are involved in crime.
The whole of Europe is in a mess, but now no one has the time to care about them, all countries are taking care of themselves, the extremely cold weather is a life and death test for farming, aquaculture, breeding, animal husbandry, etc., many people open their eyes every day is how much new debt, the proportion of suicides per 100,000 people in the world has risen directly to 27, that is to say, 27 out of 100,000 people choose to end their own lives, which is more than three times more than 9 per 100,000 normal.
But even so, the catastrophe was still spreading, under the shadow of plague and famine, the clouds of war hung over the heads of the whole old Europe, and the European continent, which had only been extinguished for many years, saw that a new war was coming, and this matter was already a certainty, and there was no other way to solve the current crisis.
"Oh...... It's snowing. ”
Kurokannon stood on the balcony and reached out to pick up the snow drifting outside. She had been at home for more than a month, and the effects of the Great Depression encompassed every industry, and no one was immune, not even their shady business.
"It's been cold this year." After stretching out his tongue and licking the snow in the palm of his hand, Hei Guanyin turned back to Sai Dongfeng and said, "We are all close to Southeast Asia, and the north doesn't know what will happen." ”
Sai Dongfeng sat in a barrel surrounded by wood, there was a metal fence under the bucket, and under the fence was a pot of charcoal basin that burned red, and Sai Dongfeng also wore a blanket on it, which looked really cold, and his body was weak, and he really couldn't bear it.
"yes, it's cold. I just went to look around the vegetable market, and there was a shortage everywhere, and I knew for the first time that luncheon meat could become hard currency on the black market. ”
This extreme cold has swept not only across the high latitudes, but also many islands with oceanic climates, and TB, which has never snowed except in the mountains, has long since snowed to the ankles. The panic caused by the unusual weather caused a panic wave in TB City a few days earlier, and just like the rest of the world, a can of luncheon meat on the underground black market has been sold for ten times the recommended retail price and can be used as hard currency to buy other supplies.
"Well......" Hei Guanyin propped his hands on the windowsill: "I don't know when it's a head, it's said on TV that more than 100 of us have frozen to death, it's really miserable." But don't laugh at them. ”
"Because they don't have the habit of resisting the harsh winter, in fact, the north is okay for this matter, because they are used to facing the cold, but the south is easy to be carried away by this sudden cold wave."
When Sai Dongfeng said this, he sighed for no reason, because he knew that no matter how much he complained, it would be useless, and the unpredictable truth of Tianwei was here.
