10. Bitter store manager
Sure enough, after living with Lin for two years, did he begin to subtly deviate in the direction of jumping off?
After calming down, Aisha was also quite troubled by her behavior just now.
"Obviously, I didn't have such a sensitive hair before......"
"Poof, ahem, ahem—"
Liliye, who was sitting next to her and was pouring juice into her mouth, subconsciously squirted out a mouthful of pear juice after hearing a certain word in Aisha's words.
Quick...... Sensitive!?Just a handful of hair, can you really use such a modification?
"It's fine, it's just that I choked suddenly. When she saw Aisha's eyes coming because of her actions, Liliah hurriedly said that there was nothing unusual here.
"Alien food is ahead, Liliye, your excitement is not incomprehensible, but you have to eat slowly......"
Seemingly not aware of the real reason for Liliet's "choking", Aisha reluctantly took out a handkerchief and helped Liliet wipe the juice on her cheeks: "That's it, you and my Lin are really similar......"
It's all a hot look.
If a certain weak qi sacrifice saw that his successor was like this, I wonder how Lu Dao would feel?
Aisha suddenly remembered the appearance of Lilier's ancestor, although it was a memory from a long time ago, but there were really no people Aisha knew who were as weak as her - obviously as a human being, she was also the top powerhouse, but that character......
All right. Actually, it's not as big as I thought before...... Aisha sighed helplessly when she noticed that Lilia was blushing from the gesture of wiping her face for her.
"I can wipe it myself!" Lilier quickly snatched the handkerchief, turned her head and wiped the juice from her face.
It's just that it has changed from a total to a tsundere...... All in all, it's still acceptable.
Speaking of which. How the hell is this hellish lasae pie?"
Lilier looked at the pie on the table that she had bitten into in distress - it was really only a small bite, and now even though Liliet had poured half a glass of cold juice, although her mouth was almost fine, the hot burning sensation in her esophagus and stomach was still alive.
Liliel even suspected that this kind of thing wasn't meant to be used as food at all, but as a punishment game.
"Is it really that spicy?"
Aisha curiously cut off a piece. After a moment's scrutiny, he shoved it into his mouth as Liliet's frightened eyes watched.
......
Half an hour later.
“...... It's spicy. ”
I can't see it from the outside! The same two words, coming out of Aisha's mouth at this time, and Fang Cai's own self are completely different concepts!
Just when Liliet wondered if she was very spicy. Aisha cut off another piece and slowly stuffed it into her mouth......
“...... (Goo)"
Liliah swallowed subconsciously.
"Aisha, don't you think this is very spicy?"
"yes, it's spicy. But for me, it's not enough to eat~"
Aisha lifted her chin and tried to remember something from the past. However, as if remembering some very unpleasant memory, Aisha's face suddenly turned pale: "At least with those foods that can have complex chemical reactions in the stomach, this is not at all stressful for me." ”
"Hey, isn't it true that you won't die if you eat something like that...... No, rather, does that kind of food really exist!? It's scary to think about!"
"Well...... Forget it, you can ask your family's gods in the future. ”
In the impression. It seems that Sister Wei has been cheated the most times, right? I believe that even after such a long time, the taste of the food that can melt the power of the stomach. It should also be deep in the soul, and you can't forget it...... Well, but that kind of "special" cuisine is really not recommended for humans.
It's really going to die.
"Speaking of which, are the minotaurs all shaking M? Obviously, I flew him fifty meters, but in the end, he actually waived our meal. ”
That Minotaur would have cried when he heard it, right?
Although Liliye didn't know what kind of strength that kind of attack was for the strong Minotaur, but anyway, the two sides were basically even, but what she didn't expect was that the beaten Minotaur uncle happened to be the manager of this hotel (tavern), and he actually generously said that he had saved a meal in order to apologize.
"Isn't it possible to lose money in this business?"
In Lilier's mind, if the store manager is so "bold", it may have a big impact on the actual income of the business, right?
"No, that guy is shrewd. ”
Although the Minotaurs do seem to be honest and honest on the outside, and in fact they are not as calculating as humans, it would be a mistake to think that this race is a simple man who can be easily deceived. As a company that has been able to survive countless generations in a harsh environment, while still preserving its history and culture, this is not something that can be achieved by force alone.
It's true that the orcs are reckless, but the words of the minotaur ...... Although the population has always been small, they are proud of one thing - the illiteracy rate of this race is almost zero.
The reason why I say "almost" instead of "completely" is, after all, it is necessary to take into account some special circumstances, such as young children who have been separated and displaced since childhood. But as long as it is a minotaur who lives with his elders, it is absolutely impossible for him to be illiterate.
"Minotaurs, their history may not be described as 'glorious', but even elves don't dare to use 'wisdom' to claim their own race, but Minotaurs definitely can—even if they don't have this self-consciousness and refuse to do so. ”
Is it so exaggerated?
At least, Liliet didn't feel it at all. The Minotaur race is as smart as Aisha said. Although she knew that it was just a preconceived impression, Liliel really couldn't do anything about these minotaurs, who often laughed roughly. Associated with the calculating conspirators.
"Isn't it incredible?"
Aisha, who had completely seen through Liliet's thoughts, smiled and asked her a question.
"Do you know what the most difficult thing to do in this world, of course, it's just a personal opinion, and I don't evaluate right or wrong~"
This is really a difficult question to answer - because everyone's starting point and focus are different, and there are differences in consciousness between people. The difference in mobility is reflected in all aspects, and Lilia doesn't know how to answer Aisha for a while.
"Aisha, what do you think?"
"I, in my opinion, the most difficult thing. It's nothing else, it's not making mistakes – I just can't do it anyway. ”
“......”
It's a little subtle, but if you think about it, it's not incomprehensible - never make mistakes. There are only saints, right? But saints before they grow up to be saints. It's just an ordinary person who makes mistakes. It should be said that as long as you have a sensual life, you can't never make mistakes, right?
And if you think about it, people who have never made mistakes since they were sensible...... That's kind of scary.
"As far as the individual is concerned, I don't think anyone can do that—if there is, that individual is definitely an existential mistake!"
An individual who never makes a mistake is also an individual who will not grow or improve. As a life with subjective consciousness, sensibility and rationality. That's really the biggest disqualification.
"However, if we talk about the concept of 'group'...... In the history of the Minotaur for nearly 10,000 years, their decision-making circle has not made a single mistake~ Not a single ......"
“......”
Such a situation was really unimaginable for Liliet, so that she was speechless for a while.
In other words, from the past to the present, the decisions made by the decision-making level of the Minotaur have never made the situation worse......?
"That's amazing!"
Apart from such admiration, Liliah didn't know how to describe it.
"Let's put it this way, for example, if you want to calculate, when it comes to calculations, they basically revolve around 'interests', even if they are not despicable people, they can't think about the measurement of 'gains' and 'losses' - no way, humans are like this, and many other races are the same. And the minotaurs are a little different, should I say that they are lucky but unlucky...... On the one hand, they have extremely strong strength and tenacious vitality, so that many dangers and other things that are very worthy of concern compared to other races seem completely inconsequential to them, and relatively, they feel as if they are very honest...... Because they don't need to be as 'smart' as humans to live well. On the other hand, the first priority of the Minotaurs, who live in the barren land all year round, is often related to survival and continuity, and when it comes to these things, their brains are several times faster than usual......
"I have to say that smart people who always think about how to maximize their interests and smart people who think about how to survive are actually the same in a sense. It's just that the vast majority of people in this world don't have the ability to unify the two...... In this case, the Minotaur who chooses the latter wisely is not at all like an honest person who does not know how to choose, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. ”
Does that really seem like that?
The young minotaurs may still be immature, but the older minotaurs that Liliet met along the way, if you think about it, really seem to have a sense of wisdom.
"So the store manager ......"
"I'll just ask you a question, do you really think he needs to make money by opening a hotel?"
If it is a thing necessary for life, in fact, for these minotaurs, there is no need to obtain it through trading, it is enough to collect and hunt by themselves, and the general currency is mainly used to buy some things that are almost impossible to obtain near the minotaur village - that is, for the minotaur, the only time they really need money is to go to the outside world to buy items. And the minotaurs themselves. They basically live on their one-third of an acre of land, and rarely take the initiative to go out to communicate with other races.
In other words, in a village where there are very few foreign races to interact with the Minotaurs. The purpose of the inn is basically to give rest to the people of other villages, and the tavern is just a place for entertainment and recreation in the leisure time...... If you really want to say it, you can't make any money in the first place, right?
"It's because of interest, right?"
Come to think of it, Liliet can only think so.
What a strange race......
"Well, a race with a long life span like this, there must be a little bit of a gap between ideas and humans, just get used to it...... But. In the future, Lilier, you probably have to try to turn your mind around. ”
"Huh, what?"
"Because your ancestors lived for a long time, until the god you served 'died'. She just answered the call of death. As a sacrifice to the gods, the gods will not be willing to let your life span be so short - after all, the gods have a special way of calculating time, in case they doze off one day. When I woke up, I found that the sacrifice had changed from a young girl in her twenties to a dying old man. It's going to be sad, isn't it?"
Moreover, with the nature of that one, it is not impossible for Liliet to be given a life close to the concept of eternal life if she wished - but at that time, Liliet's ancestors were resolutely unwilling.
......
"Hey, store manager, your soul is about to come out of your mouth and escape~"
After Aisha finished processing the terrible pie, she was surprised to find that the "bold and generous" Minotaur store manager. The whole person fell into a state of burning ashes, as if it would be dissipated by the wind.
Is this a Shenma situation?
Poke –
"I really didn't respond...... Is it sitting? Do shamans still have such a mastery?"
Liliye hurriedly asked the helpless waiter next to her, "That...... It can't be our fault, right?"
I don't think Isha and I have eaten a lot, do you?
"How can I say it? Although there are customers in it, but in essence, it is purely the store manager who is to blame! Well, no one in the village will sympathize with him!"
"What's going on? I always feel inexplicable, we have a kind of illusion of sin......"
The store manager really doesn't look like he's cheating, and the feeling of getting into someone else's sports car when his girlfriend of nine years takes out her ring and proposes, even if you look at it, it's a kind of sadness.
"That's right, the store manager has a treasure house of some famous wines, but he has always been reluctant to drink them. And when we once mentioned the hunger of these wines, he said that if anyone could eat his special Hell Fire Lasagna pie whole, he would agree to take it out and share it with everyone. ”
As he said this, the waiter looked at the plate that had once contained the hellfire mille-feuille pie with a frightened face: "As for that pie, it can't really be considered a dish, because we all use it as a punishment prop - of course, no one has ever been able to eat it whole before today." ”
It turns out that this is really used as a punishment game!
When Liliel heard what the waiter said, she couldn't help but go a little crazy - she really didn't understand the strange race of minotaurs more and more!
"Just before the two guests, there was actually one guest who had managed to eat the whole piece of Hellfire mille-feuille...... It's just that at that time, the store manager insisted that the customer was not a minotaur, and he lost it...... It's just that under my publicity, everyone in the village also denounced his cheekiness, so he can only admit it in front of everyone, and he can't play word games on this promise. Then, you two customers came, and the manager was like that......"
In other words, is there really no problem for the waiter to treat the boss like this? He actually mobilized the people of the whole village to crusade against the store manager, and this bull-headed waiter ...... It seems that I have a lot of grudge against the store manager's treasure!
"No more...... My treasure, my treasure...... I'm going to be NTR......"
Intermittently, I can hear the store manager unconsciously saying some words.
I always felt that I would be entangled in the resentment of the store manager - Aisha and Lilier heard the waiter's explanation, and saw the current state of the store manager, glanced at each other, and the two of them took two steps back in unison, trying to stay away from the store manager. God knows, as a shaman, he will suddenly awaken some strange talent and learn to be a strawman.
As the saying goes, this world is a warrior and a mage, but in the final analysis, it is still a shaman......
"By the way, you just said that there was a guest before us who wasn't from your clan who ate that Hellfire...... Hellfire lasae pie?"
"yes, it's a little girl who looks younger than both of them......"
Liliel didn't react to the waiter's words, only a little surprised, but Aisha seemed to be frightened, and rushed to the waiter's front with an arrow.
"What does that little girl look like?"
Although Aisha's attitude suddenly became a little intimidating, the waiter answered her truthfully: "That girl, she ...... She...... She ......"
Suddenly, the waiter couldn't speak—if it was a normal situation, most of them thought that the waiter was messing around in front of him, so he couldn't answer, right? The waiter tried to tell the girl's appearance, but found that no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn't recall the girl's specific appearance.
What's more, she still remembers her actions and words, but her appearance is like seeing flowers in a fog, and she can't remember it.
"Sure enough, this habit of blurring her appearance in other people's memories is indeed her......"
Seeing that the waiter looked like she couldn't speak, Aisha already knew who the fierce man who ate the whole hellfire mille-feuille pie like herself—come to think of it, except for people who have been suffering from stomach destruction all year round like herself, normal people really don't have the ability to eat this pie that challenges the taste of mortals, right?
......
"Ahh
Xiao Yui, a girl in another village, suddenly sneezed.
"Could it be that someone is thinking about me?" Xiao Wei rubbed his nose, unable to think of anyone else who could remember himself in this era. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to give up on the search for answers, and instead focused on the full array of dishes on the table in front of her.
"It looks like it's all good!"
...... Hello foodie. (To be continued......)
