Chapter 236 Luxury Food(1/2)

 After digging through the trash can, the little girl found not only the beef that had just been dumped, but also many uneaten bones. There was also a whole apple inside, which had been thrown away for no apparent reason.

On closer inspection later, I discovered that it turned out to be a hole the size of gravel.

 Other people's waste is one's own joy. The little girl is not to mention overjoyed, just take it all.

"What a great harvest! This food is enough for me and the Sun King to eat for several days!" The little girl happily patted her bulging pockets. She turned to look at Solandel, and was suddenly startled, "Hey, what are you doing?

Well???"

Solandel was seen biting her lower lip gently, the tip of her nose and eyes were red, and tears fell down her cheeks to her chin, pattering down.

 “Why are you crying???” the little girl asked in shock.

"Ah" Solandel turned around and wiped her face randomly, "No, I didn't cry, my eyes were just a little dry due to the wind."

The little girl looked at Solandel with disgust: "You sneeze and shed tears. How many problems do you have with you?"

Solandel wiped away her tears and smiled again: "Okay, let's go to eat quickly."

 Solandel took the little girl to search around, and finally selected an exotic restaurant.

The owner of this shop is a foreigner from the Far Eastern Dynasty. He specializes in making exotic dishes with different tastes for the nobles of Twilight City. The price is very high, but the craftsmanship is really good.

 Many nobles came here because of its reputation and returned satisfied. The tips alone amounted to dozens of silver moons every day.

Solandel was very polite and opened a hotel suite before eating. She asked the little girl to wash herself clean, put the food she picked up in a food box, and then bought her a new set of clothes.

She goes into the restaurant.

However, the restaurant owner was well-informed and judged from her behavior and expression that the little girl was a poor person. He did not want to receive her, but Solandel deliberately showed her wallet.

The boss suddenly changed his face when he saw the golden moon inside, and he knelt and respectfully invited the two people in.

Since she didn’t want to attract attention, Solandel opened a VIP box to avoid the eyes and ears of outsiders.

 After the menu was brought up, the little girl opened it and looked through it.

The little girl had never read a book and could not read. She could not understand what was written on the menu, but she could still recognize the pictures and numbers on the price tags. She was immediately frightened when she saw it: "Oh! What kind of dishes are these?"

Why does one dish cost 20 copper moons?! And the next dish costs 888 silver moons??? Is this wrong??!!"

Solandel took the menu and took a look at it, and said: "The label is correct, the dish of 888 Silver Moon is called Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, and it contains top-quality abalone fin, sea cucumber, Hericium erinaceus, and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum. These natural and earthly treasures are from the Far East."

One of the dishes at the royal banquet of the imperial dynasty is priced at this price."

The little girl looked unhappy: "888 silver moons are equivalent to 88800880000 iron moons. This is so scary! When I usually go shopping, I always buy a bowl of cereals for 3 iron months, not to mention eating. I haven't seen any of them.

Such expensive food”

Solandel looked at her with her little face in her hands, and smiled softly: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to worry about the price, you can eat whatever you want, just order whatever you want. If you don't know the name of the dish, point it out to me, and I'll tell you this is

What kind of food?"

“You paid for that, right?” The little girl was worried and even confirmed it again.

 Solandel was amused and reached out to pat her head: "Don't worry, I paid for it, I won't lie to you."

The little girl breathed a sigh of relief. She flipped through the menu and muttered with erratic eyes: "I really can't understand why you spend so much money on a meal? What kind of life do you rich people live?

Ah, I thought rich people ate five pieces of bread a meal."

 The little girl opened the menu and kept communicating with Solandel:

“What is this dish? Why is it so expensive? One portion costs 66 silver moons.”

“This is fire ox trotters. It can be steamed or braised.”

“I know what fire, ox, and hoof mean when they are taken apart, but why can’t I understand them when they are put together?”

"The fire cow is a monster. It is different from ordinary cows. It lives in extremely hot places and is red all over. When it is angry, it will ignite fire. Its strength is more than ten times that of an adult bull. It is used in this dish.

Made of hooves.”

“How do you cut off the hooves of such a terrifying monster?”

"To deal with the fire bull, it usually requires the cooperation of 40 skilled hunters, who visit the site half a month in advance, search for tracks, and set traps. If you are lucky, you can return without any injuries, but most of the time there will be casualties, usually 2 to 3 people will die.

Individually, 7 to 8 people were seriously injured. This is why the price of fire ox hoof is so expensive."

“What about this one? 32 Silver Moons.”

“This is a rock ear, similar to a mushroom, and the price is 32 silver moons per pound.”

“I’ve eaten mushrooms before, but they aren’t that expensive! You can buy a lot for just a dozen iron moons!”

“Rock ear is not an ordinary mushroom. Its growth conditions are very harsh. It only grows on cliffs that are not exposed to direct sunlight and have a humid climate. It requires specialized rock climbers to hang ropes to pick it.”

 “Is this job very dangerous?”

“Yes, every year nearly a hundred rock climbers fall off the cliff and die in order to pick rock ear. Therefore, the output of rock ear is very low, and the price is naturally high.”

 The ingredients on the menu have many origins. Because Solandel showed the golden moon in her wallet and was judged as a distinguished guest by the boss, there is also an exclusive menu.

 There are all kinds of natural and earthly treasures inside, such as the Eye of the Wolf from the jungle of the Far East.

 The wolf is a creature whose fur has evolved into a protective color that blends into the jungle. It is as fast as lightning and often appears in groups.

According to scriptures written by royal physicians, the eyes of the forest wolf have the functions of clearing the liver and purging fire, detoxifying and improving eyesight. It is often presented as a tribute to high-ranking officials.

 In order to hunt wolves, the price is that more than a hundred elite hunters die or become disabled every year.

There is also an ingredient called snow lotus, which grows in the far north. Warriors from the Far East can absorb its essence to suppress the restless Qi after practicing. Ordinary people can also strengthen their bodies and prolong their lives after eating it.

However, the growth conditions of snow lotus are extremely harsh. Its flower buds will only bloom at minus 93 degrees, no more than 1 degree or less. If they are not picked in time after blooming, the temperature will change slightly, and they will wither quickly.

In order to harvest this natural treasure in time, in winter, the Far East will send a large number of picking teams to station in the extreme north. They will be exposed to the ice and snow in batches, staring at the snow lotus buds 24 hours a day, and immediately pick up the snow lotus buds as soon as the temperature reaches minus 93 degrees.

Pick it off, preserve it in nectar and pure water, and transport it back.

 The dangers of keeping an eye on the extremely cold Far North all winter can be imagined. Hundreds of people freeze to death every year just from picking snow lotuses, and ten times that number suffer from frostbite and frostbite.

As for the picked snow lotus, part of it is used to help top warriors practice, part of it is offered to princes and ministers, and a small part will also flow into the market.

The rarity and powerful effects of snow lotus naturally lead to its extremely exaggerated price. One flower costs 3 gold moons, and it is still very expensive. If you want to order snow lotus in this restaurant, you need to make a reservation one year in advance.

 The little girl listened to the origins of these ingredients. She was amazed at the beginning, but gradually became silent, as if she was numb.

 Finally, the little girl silently pushed the menu to Solandel: "It's better for you to order. After all, it's you who pays. I'll eat whatever you order."

 “Okay, I’ll do it.” Solandel took the menu.

"That" at this time, the little girl called her softly, lowered her head and murmured, "Let's eat something that doesn't require death."

 Solandel pursed her lips, nodded slightly, picked up the ordinary menu and flipped through it.

Although Solandel hasn’t eaten too many Far Eastern dishes, she can roughly tell what they are by looking at the names and condiments of the dishes. She quickly checked off each dish and handed it to the boss.

Not long after, the kitchen was on full fire, and plates of hot dishes were served. Mapo tofu, fish head with chopped pepper, braised pork, beef with sauerkraut, steamed pork with spring bamboo shoots, lobster risotto, and all kinds of sumptuous food.

A table.

Compared with those treasures of heaven and earth, these are just home-cooked dishes from the Far East, but the chefs here are really good at cooking and use the highest quality ingredients. In addition, the little girl is poor, so she usually eats

Poor quality food. To her, the dishes on this table were no different than royal tribute.

The smell was so fragrant that the little girl went crazy with greed and couldn't wait to eat. She didn't know how to use chopsticks, so she could only scoop with a spoon. Later, she felt that the spoon was too slow to scoop, so she just grabbed it with her hands. She ate it voraciously, with soup splashing everywhere, and she starved to death.

Ghostly.

What's even more exaggerated is that the little girl is so "thrifty" that after eating the fish head, she has to chew the bones again until they are tasteless.

 Licked up all the oil on the braised pork plate, and it was so clean that I almost didn’t need to wash it.

Every grain of rice was eaten. Not to mention accidentally dropping it on the table, even if it fell on the floor, I would pick it up, blow the ashes and stuff it into my mouth.

Faced with this kind of eating appearance, Lorna Bu Feiye's eating appearance can be described as "dignified".

If Solandel hadn't stopped her, the little girl would have poured fat beef, steamed meat with soy sauce, etc. into her pocket.

Solandel refused, so the little girl kept rubbing her belly to make herself digest faster, and then ate all the meat and sucked up all the soup and water.

 In the middle of the journey, the little girl secretly poured two bowls of white rice into her pocket while Solandel wasn't paying attention.

 Actually, Solandel saw it, but deliberately didn’t say anything.

By the end of the meal, the little girl’s belly was so full that she collapsed on the sofa and said intoxicatedly: “It’s so good!!! Is this what it feels like to be alive?! Do you eat meals like this every day?!”

Solandel shook her head and said with a smile: "I will be under supervision in the palace and can only eat the meals customized by the nutritionist, which are very light things, such as assorted vegetables, dry cheese, boiled beef, odd

Seeds, nuts, etc. I can only eat these foods that are heavy in oil and salt if I escape."

The little girl and Solandel had been hanging out for a while, and they had already become familiar with the informality. She rubbed her belly and teased: "You are really weird. You obviously have endless money to spend, but you are so reserved even for a meal. If you can't be free,

What’s the use of making more money if you can eat freely?”

 The Ninth Princess, who is well-read, was speechless for the first time today and could only rub the back of her head and giggle.

While chatting, Solandel called the boss to add some food. She had not eaten a few bites just now. The little girl had grabbed all the food with her hands and she couldn't eat it anymore.

Solandel ordered a black truffle cake, a plate of avocado and egg fried rice, and a bowl of shrimp and water shield soup from the boss. These foods were not heavy in oil and salt, but compared with the palace's nutritious meals, they were already very unrestrained.

How to eat it.

When the meal was served, the little girl was already full, but her long-term malnutrition had made hunger a habitual response. She drooled at the sight, and squeezed directly next to Solandel, sticking out her nose.
