Food, drink and merrymaking in another world

After that day, Linda noticed some changes in Nazgray. He was no longer lazily doing nothing every day. In the first few days, he followed Linda honestly. Later, he often disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.Bikong and the others were very surprised. One day they woke up and were exercising in the yard, and they saw Nazgray greet them proactively. You must know that he had never paid attention to anyone other than Linda before.

Although he didn't know where he went, but he still appeared regularly at meal time, so Linda didn't bother to care about him.In the past few days, he took turns to cook all the snacks listed in the previous two days, and finally decided on the menu for the opening of the store during everyone's discussion: the seasonal snacks in summer are cold noodles, Roujiamo, fruit soup and ice cream; the seasonal snacks in winter are Malatang, spring rolls, meatloaf and mushroom bird broth.As for the grilled meat skewers, it is the main item, which is available all year round.

Satisfied with looking at the list, Linda suddenly thought that the bamboo sticks he and Naz Grequez had peeled together last time were no longer enough to open a store. If they were to open a store, at least enough sticks should be prepared.He looked at the menu, wrote down the required materials and raw materials one by one, and then went to the storage room to check the stock.

The bamboo sticks need to be cut at least a thousand more. If iron sticks are used, they can be recycled, but obviously there is no blacksmith now, so only bamboo sticks can be used.Also, when it comes to making ice cream, the source of milk is a problem. Although the two sheep raised at home can produce milk, the amount of milk is too small. I don’t know if the city owner knows. Go back and ask.

Thinking of this, he took Durotan and Ruby, went to the vegetable market to buy enough vegetables and meat, and put them in the storage room by category.While he still had time, he decided to go to the grocery store. There were always novel things there. The rice that was given to him when he went there for the first time was planted in the yard after he returned, because he did not control the moisture well and died in the sun. Yes, Linda was still sad for a while.

The shopkeeper was still the only one in the grocery store. When Linda entered, a mercenary bought an ax and went out happily.Seeing him coming in, the shopkeeper greeted him and went about his own business.Linda looked around in the store and found two bags of beans in the corner. The difference from cheek beans was that one of these two kinds of beans was very similar to the broad bean of the earth, but smaller than the broad bean, and the color was blue. The species are flaming soybean-sized beans.

Linda pointed to the bag of beans and asked the shopkeeper, "What are these two bags? Beans? Why have you never seen them before?"

The shopkeeper glanced at his fingers and said, "Oh, that was left by a businessman from the south who passed by and said it was a specialty there. The blue ones are called kidney beans, and the red ones are called red beans. I heard that they are delicious when boiled." , I asked my mother-in-law to cook it. It’s quite noodle, rusty, and quite fragrant, but it’s tasteless. If you’re interested, I’ll give you 5 silver coins per bag.” Linda did the math and thought it was acceptable, so she bought it down.He said to the shopkeeper: "If you still have these two kinds of beans in the future, remember to keep them for me, the more the better." The shopkeeper agreed, anyway, the businessman will come next time, so let him bring some more at that time.

"By the way, shopkeeper, do you know if there is any milk you can drink, other than goat's milk, it's better to be a domesticated animal." Lin Da casually asked.

"Milk? Well, let me think about it." The shopkeeper scratched his scalp, and suddenly remembered: "Is it the kind of white milk that can be added to bread, very fragrant?" Linda was taken aback, and nodded quickly.The shopkeeper said with a smile: "The kind you mentioned is in Miwick Village, which is two days away from our Tuowei City. The amount of milk is huge, people over there drink this kind of milk as water and put it in bread, it tastes great, and it is very famous in the neighborhood.” “Then why haven’t I heard people mention it? " Linda asked curiously, if it was really so famous, he had never seen anyone mention it in the hotel before.

The shopkeeper laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Hahaha, silly boy, people who come to our city are usually people from other countries. After all, we are near the border of the Lion Kingdom, and that village is hidden after all, so it is not on the way to the king city." On the road that must be passed, no one deliberately ran, I didn’t hear that it was normal, and I also ate it because I accidentally found it when I was lost.”

"That's it..." Linda thought for a while and asked, "If I want to buy some kind of corner milk, will they sell it?" "Sell it, why not sell it, the people over there rely on this to trade with beef , but because the milk will go bad after two days, it is not sold well, and they basically eat it by themselves." The shopkeeper rubbed his chin and said.

"Then how can I go to this village?" Linda asked. The shelf life of the milk here is short, and it seems that the sterilization method has not been invented yet.

"Go out along the east gate of Torway City for a day, and then go north at a fork in the road for another day. But why do you want that, come back to make bread? Wouldn't it stink when you bring it back?" the shopkeeper asked curiously.

Linda smiled: "I'm just curious, because I haven't tasted it, I want to buy it and drink it."

"That's it, it's not necessary. Although the bread with that is delicious, it's not much better, and sometimes it smells fishy. It's a waste of time and money to travel so far just to taste it." The shop owner kindly Seeing that Linda didn't care, he knew that he didn't listen, so he shrugged his shoulders and ignored it.

The two bags of beans were quite heavy, and Linda couldn't carry them by himself, and he couldn't show off his interspatial ring in front of others, so he had to ask the shopkeeper if he could deliver the goods.Linda thought for a while, and said to the shopkeeper, "Well, I'll give you the money first, and I'll get someone to move it when I go back." Seeing that the shopkeeper agreed, she hurried home to call for someone.

The two adults in the family were not there, and Quez was still with the castellan and hadn't come back. The two children were making bread for lunch. Nazgray went somewhere, and Linda was a little anxious.He wandered around the house for a long time, and finally decided to borrow someone from the City Lord's Mansion.As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Nazgray came back from nowhere and was about to enter the house.Linda was overjoyed to see him, and hurriedly dragged him to the grocery store.

After moving the two bags of beans home, Linda wiped the sweat from his brow, and asked Nazgray who had put the beans out of the storage room, "What are you up to lately? Why can't you see your people?"

Nazgray hesitated to say anything, Linda was not angry when he saw this, he poured a glass of water and took a sip, then poured another glass and handed it to him: "I don't care where you go, but when you go out It's best to say hello, otherwise you won't be able to find anyone if you have something to do at home." Nazgray held the cup and nodded with a complicated expression.

Linda thought about the milk, and hurriedly said to him: "By the way, I found out that there is milk today, but it is far away from here, and I need you to fly me there, and it is best to bring our refrigerator and some containers " Nazgray was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Milk? What is that? Is it similar to goat's milk?" Linda nodded: "It is said that it is a kind of milk called crooked-horned cow. In that village, apart from this They grow milk and sell beef, haven’t you eaten it yet? By the way, I bought it and made beef stew for you.”

Stewed beef?Hearing the name sounds delicious, Nazgray was a little excited about agreeing, but suddenly remembered something, shook his head in frustration and said, "I'll go in a few days, I don't have time for these two days."

Huh?Does Nazgray, who has always been lazy and idle, have time?Linda's curiosity was completely aroused at this time. He put down the water glass, pulled Nazgray's arm, turned his face to himself, stared at him and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you so busy all of a sudden?" ?”

Nazgray turned his eyes away, a little at a loss. Linda pressed him several times but got no answer, so he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.Let go of Nazgray, Linda waved his hand: "Forget it, don't say it if you don't want to, just don't do bad things." Nazgray heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Linda looked a little tired, he put down his glass to help him After kneading his shoulders, Linda immediately felt much more comfortable. He said curiously, "Did you learn how to do shoulder kneading these days? Your level is not bad." Nazgray still didn't say a word, but there was no pause in his hands. Keep pinching.

Enjoying Nazgray's massage, Linda felt a lot more relaxed. Gradually, he felt drowsy. He yawned and fell asleep on the recliner.

After waking up in the afternoon, Linda sat up, stretched, and realized that she had returned to the bed in the bedroom at some point.Maybe it was Nazgray who brought him up, Linda thought, opened the door and went downstairs, came to the kitchen, and saw two breads on a plate on the stove, and barbecue and some vegetables in a bowl next to it.Durotan was tidying up the kitchen. Seeing him coming, he hurriedly pointed to the bread and barbecue and said, "Eros, you must be hungry. I didn't call you because you slept so soundly. This is for you. It's still warm. Hurry up." Eat." Linda nodded, took the plates and bowls to the dining room and sat down to eat.

Now that Durotan's craftsmanship is getting better and better, Linda gnawed on the barbecue and bread, and ate it with satisfaction. It may not take long for Durotan to surpass himself.

After filling his stomach, Linda packed up the dishes. Ever since Linda made chopsticks and taught everyone how to use them, this kind of tableware has gradually been accepted by the family. Linda thought it was a nice change to let the fork sit low in the house.

Since I can’t buy milk yet, let’s put it aside. Linda moved a stool in the yard, took out the bamboo he cut before, and started to make a lounge chair. He still owes one to Papa Bikong and one to Uncle Egurea. , I have been so busy recently that I don’t have time to do it. Now that the opening of the store is postponed and the materials are not ready, I just use this time to do it.

Because I have the experience of making it for the first time, I will be more proficient in doing it again. This time I only took three and a half days to make one. Of course, the design and color are not as complicated as the one for Nazgray, but the one made is stronger and more durable than the one for Nazgray. The previous one was a bit bigger, after all, Papa Bikong is a tauren, and his appearance and weight are heavier than that of a human.As for Uncle Aigurea, because he is an elf and is relatively light, he is one size smaller than the standard one.It took another two days to weave the one for Aigurea, and then it was soaked in water in the later stage. The two deck chairs were placed under the tree in the yard. Linda pointed to Bikong and the others. Bikong and Aigurea were lying on their own. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds on the recliner, the breeze is blowing, not to mention how pleasant it is.

Seeing that they all liked the reclining chairs, Linda took out a large slate and placed it on top of other stones. Bikong and Aigurea came to look curiously, and found that the same square was drawn on it. There is running water drawn on a long strip in the middle, and there are small fish and shrimps in the water.Linda took out two more sets of wood in different colors. The wood was shaped like a round cake, painted with different colors of paint, and written with large Chinese characters on it.They looked at the novelty, and Bikong pointed to the words on the wood and asked: "What kind of picture is this? It's pretty nice. Why is it different?"

Linda put two different kinds of wood on the grids on both sides according to the characters and colors, and began to explain: "This is called chess. It is not a pattern, but a kind of character, which represents a kind of chess piece. The stone board is a chessboard. Each grid represents a move." Linda introduced the chess pieces and the chessboard in detail, then explained the rules in detail, and also told them the formulas they had heard before: "A horse walks in the sun, and a chessboard Feitian. The chariot goes straight, the cannon over the mountain. The soldier goes on an inclined road to protect the general's side, and the pawn never returns." He explained the meaning of the mantra in detail.

As he was talking, he saw that the two were a little confused but also somewhat understanding, so he asked them to try it first, and he watched from the side, and asked him if there was anything he didn't understand.The two eagerly moved the deck chair over, sat down and carefully moved the chess pieces.Linda watched from the side, her thoughts had already flown away.

When he was reciting the formula just now, he remembered how his grandfather taught him how to play chess when he was a child. At that time, he was learning with his cousin who was one year older than him. After that, her interest turned to other areas, leaving him alone to think, and finally defeated her cousin. When she won for the first time, she still remembered the happy mood.At that time, grandpa looked at them lovingly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.Later, his chess skills gradually improved, all under the guidance of his grandfather, but after his grandfather passed away suddenly due to a stroke, he never touched the chessboard again.

Now that I have made the chessboard for Bikong and the others, I actually still have a feeling of nostalgia in my heart.In this world, there are no parents, no grandparents who dote on him, but Bikong and the others have given him the care of his relatives, filling this void in his heart.So, make them happier, and you will be happier too.

Linda moved a stool and sat on the side, answering the two foolish questions from time to time. Gradually, they became more and more involved, and they didn't even notice the leaves falling on their heads.

After eating one of the opponent's "cars", Bikong smiled triumphantly, and Aigurea hurriedly stopped him and said, "This step doesn't count, I won't go from here." Bikong quit, and the two began to argue, Linda smiled and said : "No regrets, uncle, you are breaking the rules." Aigurea was a little frustrated, and couldn't help snorting: "Okay, forget it if you eat it, let's see how I beat you!" Bikong was proud He snorted with his nose and continued to join the battle.

From Linda's point of view, the chess skills of these two people are worse than that of beginners, and all kinds of things are horrible, but they are also considered to be of the same level.

Seeing that the two of them didn't have any questions to ask, he gave instructions to go to the bedroom to rest. It took him a lot of effort to make recliners and chess pieces recently, so he had to lie down and recover.

Just as I was about to go upstairs, I heard a knock on the door, accompanied by a voice: "Excuse me, is Mr. Eros here?"
