Chapter 438: Waves

"How about the paella I treat you? no worse than your bread. ”

March looked at Jiayi and them, who were eating lunch, and said with some smugness.

They were now having lunch at the largest restaurant in Wave City, and early in the morning, March took them out to visit the capital of the Suthern Kingdom.

But as they visited, they went inside the restaurant and visited the restaurant.

Not far from Kaichi and them, there was a team of March's guards, and as a princess, even if she didn't feel the need for it, she still had to have the necessary guards.

March did not dispatch the princess's honor guard, it was considered a micro-service trip, and since becoming an official mage, this has been the norm.

Langtao City is close to the sea, so there is a lot of seafood here, with a variety of fish soups, charcoal-grilled squid, octopus, steamed crabs, and the best of them is paella.

Heat the oil in the pot, put in the onion, minced garlic and fry until fragrant, then add the processed fish, prawns, cuttlefish, crabs and clams to stir-fry together, after half-cooked, pick up and set aside, then wash the rice and fry until it is half-cooked, add safflower to the pot and boil, boil, at this time the rice drains the rice soup, seasons and stir-fry in the pot, add carrots, pineapple pieces, lemon juice, and then add the fried seafood, add wine, stir-fry evenly, then add water and simmer for ten minutes, a paella is made.

Each grain of rice is full of seafood soup and is very delicious.

"It's really good, and there's a lot of seafood here, and it's so cheap. Kaichi couldn't help but admire while eating.

In addition to elf rice, this is the first time Jiayi has eaten rice, and the transportation is not convenient at this time, plus the place where Jiayi used to live is not warm enough, and it is inconvenient to grow rice, so I have always eaten wheat, and it is the first time to eat rice - elf rice is not counted.

The wheat in this world has been improved and has an astonishing yield, but rice has not produced half of wheat, and rice needs paddy fields to grow, so even in the southern coastal areas, there are not many rice growers.

This makes rice a food that ordinary people can't afford to eat.

"If only I could make a paella with elf rice. Chesteryu was not satisfied with the paella and began to think about it.

Jia Yi immediately shook his head: "Impossible, at least not now, it's good to be able to have elf rice porridge to drink every day, don't think about it." ”

After lunch, they began to wander down the street again.

As the capital of a country, and connected to the sea by a fjord, there are many business travelers, and sometimes there are some very rare objects, and even some unknown magical materials may appear.

At the end of each quarter, there is a big auction of everything from rare magic items, famous paintings, weapons and equipment, and even slave girls.

It is said that a long time ago, there was even an auction of elf slave girls, but after the king was almost smashed by a meteorite falling from the sky, the kingdom paid a huge price to make the elves barely extinguish their anger, and a duke family disappeared like this. The kingdom also took the opportunity to reclaim a large territory.

And Wave City is also after this incident, almost no one calls her real name Oslo anymore, it can almost be regarded as a name change, but there is never an official document, but even in the official documents of the kingdom, the city is called Wave City by default.

Even so, the relationship between the Suthern Kingdom and the Elven Race is still not very good, and it is rare for elves to come to the territory of the Suthern Kingdom.

The elves have a long lifespan, and the degree of grudges that come with them has also become particularly long, others have only a few decades in a lifetime, and elves have a lifetime of hundreds or thousands of years.

However, Jiayi and their timing is not right now, the last auction has only been a few days away, and the next one will be three months later.

In addition to the large auctions, there are many smaller auctions, but most of them are special auctions, and most of them are between large quantities.

March took them down the street, where the weather was hot, everyone was dressed very coolly, and many women loved to wear a layer of light veil, and their forearms and thighs were looming under the light veil, which had a different style.

Especially almost every one of them is in very good shape, and their eyes are a little dizzy when they see Jiayi, and they almost wonder if they are ugly women who are not qualified to go on the street.

It's Jia Yi and them, the clothes they wear are too thick in comparison, everyone else is summer clothes, they are still spring and autumn clothes, and they feel that they are not in the same season as the rest of them.

It's just that they also like to wear wide-brimmed hats and headscarves to protect themselves from the sun, and their appearance is a little unclear, which makes people feel a little regretful.

"What are so many people doing there? What are you selling? It's so popular. Chester suddenly tapped March on the shoulder and gestured to the crowd in front of him.

Marche looked through the crowd and saw the front gathering to block the door of a shop, and he looked up at the sign: "It seems to be Presio, they always have something good in the store, let's go check it out." ”

As she spoke, she took the lead and squeezed over, and March's guards were very discerning, and when they saw their movements, they immediately stepped forward and lined up the people in front of them.

"What's the squeeze, haven't you seen so many people in front of you?"

The movements of several guards were very rough, and some of them felt very dissatisfied, turned their heads and shouted loudly.

It's just that he just shouted two sentences, and at a glance he caught a glimpse of the royal badges on several guards, and immediately stopped silent, leaving in a gray manner, and took away a companion beside him.

He didn't know who it was, but it was obvious that he couldn't afford to provoke the palace guards.

March led them to the front row with ease and into the store.

I saw that in front of the display case, a row of shelves was erected, and a row of cloth was hung on it, and the color of each batch of cloth was very elegant, showing a faint green, and it looked very light and smooth.

March's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly stepped forward, pushed away the clerk who was about to stop her, and lifted the lower corner of the cloth with her hand.

"It's Elven Cloth, where did you come from?"

March carefully touched her hand and asked the clerk who was about to speak.

The clerk on one side wanted to come over to stop it, but was stopped by the store manager behind him, who had just spotted the guards lining up in a crowd, and although their shop was also very well-established, it had not yet reached the point of ignoring the royal family.

"Good day. The store manager came over and saluted, "This is indeed the elf cloth from the elf island, the texture is soft and uniform and delicate, it is very rare, we only have so many horses, and they are sold out." ”

Jia Yi also came forward to take a look, the elf cloth also looks like a silk fabric, but it is a little different from the spider silk cloth, it is smoother, it is like running water in the hand, compared to the spider silk cloth, it is also more translucent and light, he gently pulled it, and it feels that the strength is not as strong as the spider silk.

Kaichi has a limited understanding of fabrics, but March, who is on the side, can say that the head is the way.

She whispered to Jiayi and the others: "It is said that the elf cloth is woven from the silk spit out by the elf insects of the elf clan, and I didn't expect this shop to have the ability to get it." ”

Elf insects are actually not what kind of insects, but a general term for several kinds of insects, people don't know what kind of silk is spit by insects that weave elf cloth, so they are all called elf insects, and the silk fabrics from the elf family are all called elf cloth.

Although Langtao City was once taught a miserable lesson by the elves, it was very sought after by the elves, otherwise they would not have the courage to auction off the elven slaves at that time, even if they almost destroyed the city, this kind of plot has not weakened.

Not only has it not weakened, but it has also strengthened, and it feels like being abused out of feelings.

Marche bowed his head to the shopkeeper and said, "I have all these pieces of cloth, and when the time comes, they will be sent to the palace, and someone will settle the bill with you." ”

"This..."The store manager looked embarrassed, "Miss, here, you bought it all at once, isn't it not good, and we are going to display it for a few days before selling, can you wait a few more days." ”

Hearing that March said that it would be sent to the palace, the store manager was also a little panicked, but he still reluctantly discussed with March and wanted to fight for it.

The reason why they are exhibiting here is more to seek an advertising effect, hoping to advertise for a few more days, and even the auction will be the best when the time comes.

March frowned, her expression was a little displeased, and she returned to Wave City, her princess temperament slowly returned, and the other party was not qualified to bargain, and it was not that she did not give money.

Kaichi stopped March and said, "Be considerate of them, buy half of them, and let them show the rest, we will leave the day after tomorrow." ”

Then he said to the store manager: "Your elf cloth was bought by the palace, and the publicity effect is not better." ”

"Okay, then I'll listen to you. March nodded in agreement, not giving the store manager a chance to refuse.

She also bought fabrics on a whim, and when she saw good things, she wanted to buy them, but she didn't necessarily want to make them into clothes.
