Chapter 15 "Hometown Cuisine"

Crane stretched and quickly put on his clothes to end up this morning's catch up sleep. Last night, while guarding Chanis Gate, the puppet with a strange symbol scared Klein enough. As Klein became more awake, his senses sharpened again. He moved his ears, but he heard a lot of movement outside, and he heard his brother Benson seem to be chatting with a somewhat familiar-sounding male voice.

Benson's co-workers? Or a friend of Benson? Crane pushed open the door with some confusion, and saw Benson talking to the person opposite him with a smile on his face in the living room outside the door, and sitting opposite Benson was the Abraham family man named "Gao Wei" he had seen on the street before. Thinking of this gentleman's wealth, Klein wondered why the merchant had come to his house.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two turned their heads to look, and at a glance they saw Crane who was stunned at the door.

"Hello, you're Benson's brother Klein. Benson and I mentioned you and said you're a nice boy" Before Crane could speak, Gao Wei said to Crane with a smile in his eyes. He held the cane in his hand and tapped the ground gently. The cane rattled softly on the ground, and Gao Wei continued:

"I came here a little bit presumptuously today, but it just so happened that there was nothing going on, and I made a deal with Benson. I was going to go out with Benson to celebrate, but I didn't want to take up his rare day off too much - well, according to the custom in my hometown, a good deed is usually done with a meal to celebrate. ”

It turns out that there is such a custom in this world, which is a bit like the tradition of the big foodie empire to do things at the dinner table...... Wait, it won't be like Russell the Great, the ancestor of the Abrahamic family also has a time-traveler, right? Speaking of which, this surname seems to be those surnames in the Bible, which is too coincidental, it can't be that there really is a "time-traveler senior" in this family!

Crane was thinking wildly, completely oblivious to the strange look on Gao Wei's face.

"Gao Wei, you're joking, we're friends." Benson smiled, and had a great affection for this generous gentleman with whom he could talk, "Originally, it stands to reason that I should have gone out to dinner with you, and if it weren't for my own personal affairs, I wouldn't have waited so long hereβ€”Crane, go clean up and prepare for dinner when Melissa returns." ”

Crane answered and walked in the direction of the bathroom. Gao Wei showed a kind smile on his face, and said to Bensen: "It's okay, idle is idle, and being able to chat with a humorous man like you is just right to pass the time." I'm a painter and business is just a side hustle. I've got a lot of inspiration from your words today, and this trip is worth it. ”

With that, Gao Wei said in a joking tone, "You know, Benson. The atmosphere in Beckland was not suitable for art, and the arrogant officials there wished that all the painters would go to work. In fact, even curly-haired baboons know how to draw something to cultivate their sentiments when they are bored. ”

"That's right, those who are responsible for making the rules are like machines, and they will only function according to the functions designed by the king." A smile tugged at the corner of Benson's lips, "However, it is unreasonable that making rules has never been the job of machines, and these officials are often incompetent in some places. ”

"Maybe it's because the quality of the machine is not up to par." Gao Wei answered, shrugging his shoulders helplessly. He and Benson looked at each other for a moment, then smiled.

The two chatted with each other, waiting for Benson and Klein's sister to come home. About half an hour later, there was a knock at the door. Benson stood up and walked to the door to open it, only to see a man in a coat with two lunch boxes in his hands and his sister Melissa staring at each other at the door. Benson suddenly became cautious, looked at the man in front of him and asked, "May I ask ...... you are?"

"Deliver food." Mr. Z's face was expressionless, and he was patiently speaking to the man in front of him as he tried his best to concise his words. Benson subconsciously looked back at Gao Wei who was sitting on the sofa, Gao Wei stood up, nodded, and said to Mr. Z: "Excuse me, you can go back to Beckland first after today's matter is over." I'll go back on my own when I'm done with what I'm going to do. ”

Mr. Z nodded, turned around and walked away without any delay. Melissa, who had just finished praying at church, looked at her eldest brother and Gao Wei beside him, and was suddenly a little stunned.

"Benson, this is ......" Melissa said with some confusion, Benson smiled and said to his sister, "He's Mr. Gao Wei, and he came to our house today as a guest - I talked to Mr. Gao Wei about the previous list this morning." ”

"Oh, I see. Congratulations, Benson. Melissa turned her head to look at Gao Wei and said sincerely, "Of course, thank you, Mr. Gao Wei. ”

Gao Wei waved his hand and picked up the two lunch boxes sent by Mr. Z from the table. By the time Gao Wei put it on the table, Crane had packed up and walked out of his kingdom of God (bathroom). Melissa put her belongings down and sat down at the table with Benson. When she saw that Crane was still standing there, she urged him, "Come quickly, Crane, it's time to eat...... There are guests today, and you are still waking up so late! ”

Sister...... Why are you living like a mother at this age...... Klein complained secretly in his heart. As Klein approached, the tip of his nose moved, as if he had smelled a somewhat familiar scent from the food box that Mr. Z had just delivered. With anticipation, Klein sat down at the table.

What a rich and generous gentleman, I didn't expect him to "bring takeaways", it's really not like the nobles of this era I have seen...... Klein secretly thanked Gao Wei in his heart, sat upright, and waited for the meal to begin.

"Gao Wei, the dishes over there are really exciting. After all, many of these dishes were invented by the same Russell the Great. Hehe, not only the machine, but also the food he has made a lot of creations. Benson said in a joking tone, "Although there are some dishes in it...... Well, people dare not compliment. ”

"yes, some of the dishes are a little too outrageous." Crane said with a sudden and very approving nod. God knows how excited he was when he learned that there were some "handwritten recipes of the Emperor" on Intis's side, and after the excitement, he was disappointed when he found out that those dishes only left a few desserts similar to "swan crisp" and "bean cake" in Intis's court - it seems that Russell the Great is not good at cooking, and he has not carried forward the tradition of the Great Foodie Empire at all!

There are also some dishes that Klein can hear in the name that belong to the style of the big foodie empire, but Crane is also at a loss when he hears the description of these foods - after that, he decides that he will never touch the strange-tasting Intis food again. After these foods have been transformed across a world, just looking at the descriptions in the book makes Crane feel like he has lost his sanity.

However, when he saw the food in the lunch box, Klein was stunned.

He blurted out the Chinese with a round word: "Zongzi? ”

"I think it's the original Klein who is talking to us, and fortunately, he hasn't been assimilated by the Celestial Venerable in advance because of my arrival. If it was Tianzun standing here, then he would not have the current performance. Tianzun doesn't understand human nature, and no matter how real the fraud is, it won't be as flawless as true feelings. The high-dimensional over-the-top speaker said to himself on another timeline, and another human-looking high-dimensional sat on the body of his own body and touched his chin:

"Do you need to test again? If it was Tianzun, it was not impossible for him to disguise himself as an ordinary person without vigilance. ”

"I think I can confess some of it." Gao Wei, who was sitting opposite Klein, interjected: "Anyway, what we have to say is only a small part, even if the current Klein is really Tianzun, we can get out of the way." I think it's worth it to get what we want to see. ”

"Didn't we arrange for Audrey Hall to explain to Klein about the White Moon at the Tarot meeting? At that point, if it were Crane, his spirituality would have fluctuated, and he would have believed what we were saying to him now. ”

The ontology of the high-dimensional overlooking person decided this matter.

The corners of Gao Wei's mouth curled, and he said slowly to Klein: "That's right, this dish is called 'zongzi'." No, in my hometown, it's not a dish, it's actually a staple food, but very few people can 'recognize' it, and those who know about it basically call it a coined word from Rune...... Ah, I heard Benson say that you've studied history before, right? No wonder you 'would' use this language. ”

After eating this hearty meal, the Moretti family sent Gao Wei away. Benson has a smile on his face, and is delighted by both the food and the humorous conversation of Gao Wei; Melissa touched her bulging little belly, and found that she seemed to have eaten too many zongzi at noon, she quietly burped and said to her brother beside her:

"Delicious food! Being able to wrap the filling in the rice makes the flavors of the two blend so beautifully! Moreover, it seems that it is only boiled with water, and there is no complicated cooking like Dixie pie; And it's wrapped in rice! Rice isn't cheap nowadays...... Klein, you're right? ”

Melissa poked Klein, who was contemplating, with her hand, and Crane seemed taken aback and turned to look at his sister: "Huh? yes......"

"Ah, by the way, Melissa, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to do in the company this afternoon, and I have to go first!" Crane looked for an excuse in a bit of a panic and quickly walked outside. He decided that he must ask about the traverser and ask Gao Wei's identity!

"Oh, okay......" Melissa muttered as Crane picked up his top hat and cane and walked out of the room quickly, "Klein is really, even if it's a day off, I'm always thinking about work...... Alas, but that's why he was able to get such a good job, right? ”

She changed into a new dress and prepared to go to a lecture with Selena and Elizabeth. Looking at Benson, who was looking at the grammar book, Melissa pouted.

Crane walked quickly down the street. But as he walked, his steps grew larger, and he couldn't help but turn into a trot. He ran across two streets as he thought he would, and saw a familiar carriage parked beside the street. Klein hesitated, but the thought that Mr. "Gao Wei" might be the same "time-traveler" as himself, he couldn't help but be able to hold back the excitement in his heart; And, seeing that Mr. Gao Wei's current identity might be able to access more secrets about their bizarre crossing, he finally made up his mind to walk to the carriage.

"Come in."

Crane was considering how to speak, when he saw Gao Wei lift the curtain of the carriage and motioned for Crane to come and sit beside him. Klein was stunned for a moment, shook off what was in his head, and stepped on the carriage frame with his right foot to board Gao Wei's carriage.

"I've been waiting for you for a while, Crane."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Klein's subconscious apology made Gao Wei not know how to pick up for a while, and the air seemed to fall silent. After a long time, Gao Wei said in a smiling tone: "It's okay, don't be nervous - by the way, this matter is not safe here, Mr. Z, go home." Let's get acquainted again, Klein, and you should know why I'm waiting for you. ”

The horse pulling the carriage began to trot towards the front. And the amount of information in Gao Wei's sentence just now was huge, which made Klein's brain a little overloaded for a while. He didn't care about what he wanted to ask before, and extracted a key word from what Gao Wei wanted to say before:

Mr. Z!

The driver in front of me is Mr. Z from the Aurora Club, the Mr. Z mentioned in the Siris letter! Wait, if you can let the Aurora Divine Envoy drive, wouldn't this 'fellow' in front of you......

A terrible thought took shape in his mind, and Crane's pupils constricted, and he instinctively wanted to roll backwards and roll out of the carriage and escape. However, Gao Wei stretched out his left hand as if he had expected it, grabbed Klein's right hand holding the gun and pulled him back from the side of the curtain, and a spiritual wall was instantly erected in the carriage, cutting off the connection between the inside and outside, and also blocking the sound transmission between Mr. Z and the two of them. Seeing Klein looking at himself with a wary face, Gao Wei smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Let's get acquainted again, my surname is Gao, you can just call me Gaowei. Klein, you're a 'traverser', may I ask you before, what was your name? ”
