[Through] Delicious Journey

"You really treat me like a fool?" Yi Nie rolled her eyes at Ying Cui, "I eat a lot because the energy I usually take in can't keep up with my consumption, so naturally I eat less when I'm free these two days, but speaking of it." He rubbed his chin and stared at the gemstone seashell thoughtfully, "The seashell I ate today seems to have a lot of energy. Could it be because it's so fresh?"

Ying Cui snapped the shell shut, "Leave that aside, don't you think there are too many people around?"

Many people were attracted by the smell of gemstone seashells, and finally found the source of the fragrance, and soon surrounded the corner of the open-air dining area that Yi Nie specially picked.

Yi Nie took a belated look at the crowd staring at the shells of the Gemstone Sea, and sighed, "This is the power of food." The next moment, he grabbed the shells that were empty from the clay and threw them towards the shore.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the crowded crowd rushed towards the direction where the shell was thrown.

Gem seashells are also named for their handicraft-like shells. Even without the delicious meat inside, they can be sold for a high price of 200 Nan, which is twice as much as that of complete golden seashells. The labor produced can be equal to the usual day's harvest.

Taking advantage of the time when the crowd dispersed, Yi Nie pulled Ying Cui, picked up the bucket with several seashells on the ground, and exited the open-air dining area.

"Hey, don't go too far, this way." Ying Cui reminded him that he was not overwhelmed by the delicious food and forgot the purpose of coming here today.

Yi Nie glanced at Ying Cui in bewilderment, not knowing what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd, but she still turned to go to the delicatessen, "You don't mean you want to work in these stores, do you?"

Ying Cui glanced at a row of delicatessen shop signboards, forgot to take back the hands they held together, and was led forward by someone, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's up to you."

Yi Nie smiled, "With your cooking skills, I'm not worried that these shops won't hire you, but the mayor's daughter's birthday party, do you think he will go to these places to invite chefs?"

The delicatessen in Haibei Beach is a small street shop at best, but it is not popular at all.

Sometimes the ingredients will limit the enjoyment of the taste. The cost of ingredients in these small shops is low, and the chefs are not skilled enough, so the dishes they make are naturally inferior. Otherwise, with the circulation of Haibei Beach every rest day, these shops should have Some reputation.

But the fact is that their business is tepid, and one can imagine what level they are in.

"Well." Ying Cui stared at the smallest and most inconspicuous house number, and said in a good mood, "You also said that I don't have a chef certificate, and those big restaurants won't hire me."

"Then there's no need to make it up like this, right?" Yi Nie looked at the store that Ying Cui was interested in.

Dipping Ice Shell House, quite a strange name, the storefront is the smallest in the passing by, built of brown wood, so old that it has suffered from the vicissitudes of time, the only thing I have seen is that it is probably clean, and the wooden plaque hanging on the house is also Yes, it can be seen that the owner has put his heart into it.

Yi Nie looked up and down, but for a long time she couldn't see what Ying Cui liked about it, "Are you joking?" Turning her head, she looked at the opposite person solemnly, and said solemnly, "Money fan, why don't I take care of you?" "Hey, why are you kicking me?"

Ying Cui looked at his seriousness, and thought that there would be some advice to help him find a job, but in the end...

It took a breath of effort, this guy really can't be counted on.

"Warning you, be honest with me, if there is any trick that makes me lose my job, I will eat for these two days, hum."

Yi Nirvana shrinks her head, with a bitter face.

"Wow."

The door opened from the outside, Ying Cui probed.

There was no one inside, there were three tables and a counter on the right hand side, empty.

"Someone is here..." Before Ying Cui finished speaking, she was startled by the sudden extra head in front of her eyes, and she unconsciously leaned back.

"Hmm." Yi Nie clutched her chin that was hurt by the bump, put one hand on Ying Cui's shoulder, and said sullenly, "What's the matter?"

Ying Cui shook her head, looked at the young man who seemed to come out of the ground suddenly, "When was he here?"

Yi Nie didn't understand, so she rubbed her chin and said strangely, "I've been standing here since we came in, didn't you see?"

"Are you sure?" Ying Cui asked in a low voice, "Why do I feel like he popped out of nowhere?"

"I was cleaning the vase just now, and I heard the sound. I'm sorry, I may have scared you." The boy, wearing a short shirt and an apron in front of him, came out from behind the flower stand and said with a smile.

It was only then that Ying Cui noticed that the boy in front of him was not tall, almost as tall as the flower stand. When he stood behind, his head was blocked by the flower pot, so he was easily overlooked.

"Ah." Ying Cui sneered, "I'm sorry, I made a fuss..."

But I heard a low laugh coming from my ear, "Puchi, haha, it turns out that you are not only a money fanatic, but also so timid...Ah, you hit me again."

Ying Cui cast a bitter glance at the man, gritted her teeth, "Dinner..."

Yi Nie immediately stopped speaking.

The young man was curious and wandered between the two of them, his black eyes rolled around, matched with the watermelon hairstyle, he was cute all of a sudden, "Are you here for lunch? Sorry, my grandpa has been ill recently and won't open for the time being. "

"Sick?" Ying Cui was taken aback, thinking carefully about the game clearance requirements, a little surprised.

According to the normal plot, he will eat the salted ice consumption made by the owner, and then he will naturally get the task of helping to find octopus garlic and snow line salt. Then, at the invitation of the owner, he will stay as a helper to hone his skills until the mayor It's my daughter's birthday.

But right now?

Ying Cui looked at the boy with the watermelon head, a little lost in thought.

The plot has changed, so is this the game world he is familiar with?If not, can he return to the original world after collecting five fantasy dishes?

Thinking about it now, even if he has been deliberately ignoring it, it seems that since he met Yi Nie on Keli Island, the direction of things has been biased, and it is no longer within the scope of his familiarity and control.

"What's wrong?" Yi Nie keenly noticed the change in Ying Cui's mood.

"Oh." Ying Cui's heart was in a mess, but all emotions were put away on his face, "Sorry." He said to the young man, "Let's visit again next time." Now he really wants to go back to that small pavilion , I want to be alone.

Ying Cui turned around, but didn't notice the slightly confused look on Yi Nie's side. The next moment, she was caught by the hem of the clothes by the young man in a trance.

"Well, if you don't mind, I can make some for you to eat." The young man said anxiously, "Although the taste may be worse, it only costs half the price."

The young man's soft and cautious voice brought Ying Cui back to his senses.

"What's your name?" Ying Cui patted the boy's head.

"Me?" The boy raised his round face and showed a bright smile, "My name is Chabei. Grandpa said that our family has lived in Gumula Town for a long time, and generations of people have made a living by cooking seashells and running this shop. Don't forget your roots."

As he said that, his face gradually dimmed, "Grandpa has been ill for two months, and I am not good at handicrafts. There are fewer and fewer people coming to the store, and grandpa's medicine can no longer be bought. In a few days, this store will be closed. I'm going to sell it to the ramen shop next door..."

Chabe's voice was almost a whisper at the end, until a teardrop exploded gently on the ground, he hurriedly rubbed the corners of his eyes, smiled brightly again, and asked, "Do you still want to eat?" What do you think, with a smile All with sadness.

"Eat!" Yi Nie choked out a word full of anger, found a chair and sat down, and said richly, "All you can eat, sir, I'm hungry!"

"..." Ying Cui was annoyed and funny, she also came over and sat down, and said softly to the young man, "Well, this guy is very rich, you just need to serve the food."

Chabei stared wide-eyed, blinked, and took a while to react, and quickly bowed heavily, "Thank you, I will prepare right away, it won't be too long."

The boy jumped into the back room.

There were only two people left in the hall.

"Master?" Ying Cui's voice sounded Wei Yang, "It seems that someone can't even pay the entrance fee."

Yi Nirvana looked at the sky, and answered the wrong question, "Ah, the environment here is good."

Ying Cui smiled and continued to move forward, "A certain person just finished eating gemstone seashells and said that he has been free for the past two days and does not need to consume too much energy, so he is hungry in a blink of an eye?"

Yi Nie stared at her toes, "The furniture is also good."

Ying Cui was happy, and didn't bother with him, just casually glanced at Yi Nie's childish smile, and irritable side face when he didn't eat, and his thoughts returned to the problem that fascinated him just now.

Suppose this is not a game, but a real continent.

It’s not that he has never heard of the theory of parallel planes. If he was really struck by lightning and passed through the barrier of time and space, and fell into this gourmet world, then, apart from experiencing the inhuman force majeure of being struck by lightning again Natural force, how else can he go back?Can you really rely on making a wish to the dragon?

And assuming that this is indeed a game, but the plot change is irreversible, maybe it was the butterfly effect after he first started exploring Koli Island, or maybe other factors caused the current change, no matter what the situation is, it can’t be changed The fact that it was no longer the game he remembered.

Then, how can you guarantee that after collecting five dreamy dishes, there will be a result like a dragon making a wish?

If he can't go back, what's the point of his painstaking efforts now?

Ying Cui knew that she had fallen into a strange circle.

It's good to be able to go back, but if he can't go back, what kind of mentality will he use to face a strong gap where there is no such thing as making a wish after going through all kinds of things to collect five dishes?

"The food is here." Chabe's voice came from the back room, and he returned his distracted thoughts.

"Come and see what kind of food you have." Yi Nie's knife and fork were ready, and the man seemed very active when he saw something to eat.

Ying Cui raised her forehead and looked at Yi Nie with a faint smile. She was really envious of the other party's nerve, how could she be like him and her IQ would drop to 0 when she saw food?

It seems that the current self needs this skill very much!
