Chapter 357: The Devil's Stomach (2) (Ask for Subscription!Ask for Recommendation Ticket!Ask for Monthly Pass!)
Walking to the street where the "True Fragrance Tavern" is located, Quis saw from a distance the elite bone demon guards standing in front of its door, like welcoming the doorman.
The tavern's sign is prominently hung in the middle of the street, but it is no longer a "real sake shop", but a "devil's stomach".
Looking at the purgatory text on the shop sign, Quisi couldn't help but pout, "In the devil's territory, I chose a name related to the devil, which is really heart-......"
Of course, when he saw the Bone Demon Guards guarding the door of the tavern, the young blue dragon was relieved - his companion, the ogre gourmet, didn't seem to have any thorny problems.
"It's okay, otherwise there will be a big fight, and it will be troublesome for this tavern to be demolished and rebuilt. β
There's an iron rule on the fantasy side: the tavern is the best place to get information. According to Quisi's plan, if he wants to firmly control this abyss city, logistics distribution and intelligence coordination must be grasped with both hands, and both hands must be hard.
Therefore, the original "True Fragrance Wine Shop" and the current "Devil's Stomach" are actually a relatively key intelligence collection point. It's best to be able to use it to your advantage right away without making drastic changes.
Knowing that his companion had no accident, Quest was not so anxious. He lifted the hazy effect on his body, signaled the bone demons who wanted to salute him not to be noisy and continue to stand guard, and stepped into the "demon's stomach".
With the dragon's excellent sense of smell, the young blue dragon smelled blood at the door of the tavern.
However, in addition to the smell of blood, the "demon's stomach" is also mixed with the smell of many spices, indicating that most of this place is a combination of slaughter and cooking, and it is not an anomaly in the plane of the evil camp.
Stepping onto the floor of the tavern, the dΓ©cor inside is very different from the last time we saw it in a hurry, and the ring that was originally used for "tasting competitions" has long since been removed and replaced with more tables and seats.
Of course, these new additions have nothing to do with fine comfort, but they are sturdy and sturdy - nothing more than unpolished rock, tall for tables, low for chairs - and even if there is a fight, it is difficult for the average person to cause damage to the tavern.
There were no waiters in the tavern, just a human dressed as a chef busy in the open kitchen behind the bar, and there was only one guest in the tavern, and that was Blue sitting near the bar.
Quiss's steps were light, and he didn't alarm the two who were busy:
The chef was concentrating on the strange ingredients in his hands, trying to remove the glands from a decapitated acid mist worm, the oil pan next to him was already boiling, and the ogre gourmand sat at the bar, head down, as if in ......
Write at the desk!
Seeing this scene, Quith couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and he walked directly to the bar. At this point, he no longer restrained his steps, and Ogre Blue heard the movement behind him, and turned back vigilantly, while reaching out to grasp the whaling fork resting on the bar.
"Quis, you've come just in time," Blue immediately showed a surprised expression when he saw the young blue dragon, "I'm going to introduce you to this Master Gris, he is definitely a top chef, we have found a treasure this time!"
Hearing Blue's words, the chef who was fiddling with the acid mist worm just turned his head, looked at Quis who walked in, and continued to get busy with the work at hand with a slight bow, using the tip of the knife to remove the glands from this particular ingredient.
Seeing that the other party was like this, Quis was not annoyed, and while chatting with Blue, he watched the content of the ogre that he had just worked hard to write.
In his Ogre Gourmet Guide, Blue devotes a separate chapter, "The Essence of Gris's Cooking," to which he carefully records some of the things he has just learned from Gris, in neat handwriting:
"Everything can be steamed, everything can be cooked. β
"Ingredients you don't know, even if they are anti-toxic, you have to remove the head first, and then roast them before eating. β
"Ruminants have special stomachs that can store a certain amount of water, which can be drunk directly under extreme conditions. β
"Frying is cheating, and almost no one can say no to the food that is cooked this way, crunchy. β
......
"Gris......
Looking at the words of the tiger and wolf that Blue wrote on the food guide, and then thinking of the surname of a person who stood at the top of the food chain in his previous life, the young blue dragon was silent for a moment, and made up his mind that he would not eat in the "devil's stomach" in the future.
"Bang dang", Quis and Blue only exchanged for a short time, and Gris finished processing the ingredients and inserted the kitchen knife into the cutting board.
He then picked up the processed acid mist worm and put it into the boiling oil pan with his hands, without any other tools.
The sound of frying sounded, and the white and tender pieces of meat tumbled up and down with the boiling oil, and were soon coated with a layer of golden brown.
When the acid mist worm was fried to a browned skin, Gris saw the opportunity to turn it over to the surface of the boiling oil, and quickly reached out his palm to pinch the already cooked food and scoop it out of the oil pan.
With the oil broth, he put the scorched yellow acid mist worms into a pot of clay, and when he rubbed and rolled them, an extra layer of clay shell coating appeared on the skin of the food.
With a "swish", Gris picked up his kitchen knife again, and cut a crack in the clay shell coat along the body of the acid mist worm, clamped the ends and squeezed it slightly, and the clay shell coat was peeled off with the hard skin of the acid mist worm.
With a hint of yellow grease and sprinkled with spices, the milky white fried mist worms are loaded onto the bar and pushed to Bru, who is already eager to try something new.
"It looks, it smells...... It seems like it's all pretty good. β
Just as Quest hesitated whether to break the vow he had just made in his heart and order a portion of this food to taste, Gris wiped the oil star off his hand with a rag that was no longer recognizable in its original color, and stretched his palm in front of him.
"Presumably, you are the commander that Mr. Blue refers to, and I welcome Your Excellency to come and guide," after shaking Queth's hand, Gris bowed humbly and said, "I have discussed with Mr. Blue before, as long as you can keep me working in this shop and provide stable supplies for this shop, you can take the ownership of this place at any time." β
To tell the truth, this chef with a name that impressed the young blue dragon is actually quite good. Coupled with the fact that the other party's request is easy to meet, Quest does not intend to care about the difference between the so-called "return of ownership" or "taking away ownership".
Of course, good habits can't just be discarded.
After negotiating with Gris, Quest immediately took out a copy of the "Labor Employment Contract" and pushed it in front of the other party with a smile.
"You're welcome to join, but please sign this contract first. β
To Quest's surprise, when Gris's face suddenly turned blue and white when he saw the contract in front of him, his hands began to clench.
