Walking out of the Golden Leaf Bookstore, Lorraine Hill had a bag in his hand containing the book he just bought.
Looking at the sky surrounded by the tall eaves, it was probably not long after noon, and Lorraine Hill also started looking for a place to eat.
Although she saw many familiar Western-style restaurants along the way, she wanted to try the oriental dishes in Luojing this time. After walking on the street for a while, she finally stopped under a Bajiaobao building.
This treasured building is eight stories high. It is built entirely with light cherry-colored and white stone bricks. The eaves are paved with cyan tiles. There are pieces of white jade stone hanging under the eaves. These stone pieces have light gray patterns on them.
The net looks very beautiful, roughly in the shape of a diamond, hanging in a line along the eaves. When the wind blows, it will make a clear sound, like water hitting the rocks in the mountains, making people feel comfortable.
After entering the treasure building, several waiters wearing light white clothes came over. After asking some questions, they led the girl to the third floor.
"Please come this way. It will be quieter on the third floor."
The girl immediately stepped onto the stairs and walked upstairs step by step.
Not long after we sat down, the waiter brought out a menu, with the names of the dishes written in various notes, and small black letters next to them introducing the ingredients and characteristics of the dish.
The girl opened this newer book and was soon surprised by the complicated names and types of dishes. These recipes include not only common rice, porridge, snacks, preserved meats, sauces, dishes, soups and other vegetarian dishes, but also grilled,
Smoked, grilled, fried, steamed, boiled, mixed and other meat dishes. The range of ingredients ranges from garden side dishes to rare delicacies from mountains and seas. There are even more than ten kinds of dishes with extraordinary effects written on the back.
It should be said that it is indeed Luojing. As the most prosperous city in the Plantagenet Dynasty, it is also the city where the most dignitaries gather. The richness of food here is something that many people have never imagined.
Looking at the dazzling menu, Lorraine Hill temporarily closed it and then asked directly.
"Do you have any seasonal dishes to introduce recently? I'll also bring you a bowl of stir-fried beans. The little guy next to me is also hungry."
"Okay, what do you think of it, it's really been a rough time lately?"
Crabs? Lorraine Hill remembered the last time he and Keti caught crabs at the beach. Although the taste was okay, it didn't feel like there was much meat.
"Let's change it to another one." The girl shook her head.
"What do you think of the sweet-scented osmanthus mandarin fish soup?"
Mandarin fish has tender meat, delicious taste, less spines and more meat, and is rich in nutrients. It was a relatively rare fish in the dynasty and was loved by many people.
"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then on the waiter's recommendation, he ordered a small plate of gold and silver flakes.
"This is also made from fresh crabs, but only the crab roe and crab meat are used, so there is no need to remove the shells, making it more convenient to eat." He continued to introduce.
"Well, that's all." The girl nodded, then sat quietly at the table and waited.
Because it's past dinner time, the third floor is relatively quiet now. There are only three or four tables occupied, and the rest of the place is empty. From the window position, Lorraine Hill can easily overlook the bustling street below.
Various styles of carriages pass through the streets. In addition to common trucks, there are also many expensive carriages, many of which are made of fine sandalwood, carved with complex patterns, and drawn by scaly dragons. They are very luxurious.
.
The sky above our heads is not empty, there are often riders riding giant dragons walking down from the clouds and cruising in the sky. These elite dragon riders, wearing bright red armor, are all above Sequence 5 in strength.
In united combat, you can easily deal with Sequence 6 monsters. Even Sequence 6 true disciples will find it difficult to face the digital Red Bird Dragon Riders.
The Red Bird Dragon Riders are the forbidden army directly affiliated with the royal family. It is because of their existence that this huge city with millions of people and countless hidden extraordinary beings can always maintain a good state of public security.
Just when Lorraine Hill was getting bored waiting, there was a burst of noise from the street below, and she couldn't help but turn her eyes.
A group of people with special looks and clothes are walking on the street. These people are tall and strong, and their bones seem to be much thicker. They look a head taller than the pedestrians around them. Their faces and shoulders are painted with red or white paint.
, most of the clothes worn on the body are also made of animal skins, which are convenient for movement and also relatively cool.
"Did you see that group of tanned people over there?" Residents on the street whispered.
"You see, where did these people come from, and why are their bodies so different from ours?" my companion asked.
"It seems that you have not been in Luojing for a long time. These people are probably from Baimanzhou, and their bloodline is quite different from ours in the hinterland of Luojing."
"Baimanzhou, I don't know much about that place. I just heard that there are a lot of monsters."
"This is true, but extraordinary beings who grow up in such an environment are also particularly fierce. In fact, a family was born in the local area."
"Coming to the door, this is impossible. There are only thirty-six door-to-door families in the world's one hundred and thirty-four continents. None of them have profound knowledge. How could there be a door-to-door service in such a remote corner?" The companion shook his head quickly.
"Alas... This is not easy to explain, but it is indeed true." After that, the two people whispered to avoid it and watched the group of people passing by from a distance.
Lorraine Hill held Dai Juniao and looked at the group of people in the distance. All of them were at level five or above, and most of them were demon sequence or war sequence. The man in the lead had extremely strong power in his body. In his soul perception,
Just like a dragon and an elephant, it is fearsome to walk through the streets.
Baimanzhou? I seem to have heard of it, so they should be from the Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains. Luo Lanxier recalled Gu Lie’s recent introduction. Although the Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains are not famous in the hinterland of the Central Plains, as one of the door-to-door, the sent
The members are extremely tough and fight to the death, which is amazing.
"Hello, this is the sweet-scented osmanthus and mandarin fish soup that you ordered, as well as honeysuckle and cut flowers."
A waitress carefully served the dishes, then opened the lid of the white porcelain vessel, revealing the steaming fish soup inside.
A mandarin fish lies horizontally in it, and the surrounding soup is like milk. It smells faintly of sweet-scented osmanthus. If you use chopsticks to stir it, you can find small tender cubes in the soup, which are similar to jelly, but they taste delicious.
Similar to tofu. Some green scallions are sprinkled into the soup to garnish it.
Next to it is a stack of honeysuckle flowers. It is said that after steaming ginger and crabs, the crab roe and crab meat are taken out. Then the dough is kneaded into a ball, then rolled out flat, the crab roe and crab meat are spread flat on top, and rolled up
Finally, it is made into strips and cut into small pieces. Finally, these flat pieces are steamed in a steamer and placed on a plate.
After placing the two plates, another waiter brought a small table that was many times smaller and placed it on the chair next to the girl. Then he placed a large bowl of fragrant fried beans on the small table, and the aroma filled the air.
spread out.
"Please use it slowly." After that, the two of them slowly retreated.
Lorraine Hill looked at the two plates of food. Before he even touched the spoon, Dai Ju in his arms couldn't sit still. He jumped out with fluttering wings and came to the chair prepared for it. He tilted his head and looked at the bowl of beans, and then
Just start pecking.
It is good at flames, and is not afraid of being burned. It seems more enjoyable to eat it while it is hot. After one bite, you can't stop. If it weren't for the limitations of the body structure, you have to raise your head to swallow it from time to time, and you would probably bury your head in the bowl.
"Slow down, don't be in such a hurry." Lorraine Hill said softly, and then he tasted it slowly.
First, take a few sips of the mellow fish soup, then use chopsticks to pick up a small piece of gold and silver slices, and the soft, waxy and delicious touch will be transferred to the tip of your tongue.
It's so delicious~ The girl felt a little happy in her heart.
After eating a few steamed gold and silver slices, Lorraine Hill started eating with mandarin fish soup. The clear bowl contained light red and white rice.
This rice is also a specialty of the store, it's called 'Peach Rice', which is to cook large flat peaches in rice soup, peel and core them, then cut them into small pieces, add them to the rice when it's almost cooked, stir evenly, and finally mix it with the rice.
Pour it out. This kind of rice tastes sweet and delicious, and it can be eaten easily even if there are no vegetables.
In the treasure building, Lorraine Hill was eating a belated lunch, with the light breeze blowing in his ears, immersed in the bustling and peaceful street scene of Luojing, enjoying the quiet and comfortable moment.
——————
Western Continent, Southern Islands.
The blue waves beat against the side of the ship from time to time, bringing up bursts of water drops and waves. A girl of about 20 years old stood on the bow of the ship, wearing a white shirt and trousers, holding a telescope in one hand, looking into the distance
of the sea.
"Drive faster~, don't let that big guy get away."
"Sister Alena, my brothers can't pedal anymore. We have been driving at full speed for almost an hour." Behind the girl, a first mate wearing a headscarf scratched his head helplessly.
"Why are you so weak? Aren't you usually pretty good at it?"
Aliena's brown and black hair fluttered in the wind, and then she turned her head. If someone who didn't know how she was dressed now saw her, they would probably think she was a captain or a great navigator.
The long and flat brim of the hat rests on the hair, and there is a golden knife handle on the waist. There is also a pocket watch and a package full of small items hanging next to it. The clothes are close-fitting and smart, and it does feel a bit like a businessman.
Now she is on one of her father's boats, chasing an escaped sea beast. This big guy has recently injured many merchant ships, and the Youngberry Kingdom has issued a high-priced arrest warrant. Naturally, Alena, who wants to make a lot of money, can't
He would miss this good opportunity, so he borrowed a boat and its crew from his father.
The reason why this sea beast repeatedly escaped capture was because it ran faster, so Alena used what she learned to improve the "Seal" and added a groundbreaking propeller to the stern.
This speed is indeed much faster, but the only drawback is how to make the propeller rotate. Aliena, who cannot afford a magic power furnace, came up with a method of human power.
After all, the simplest magic power furnace costs 50 gold coins, and if it is driven by human power, it is nothing more than a few more meals. For this account, a genius like Miss Alena can still calculate it.
Stomping her feet, Alena threw the telescope to the first mate aside and walked quickly to the cabin below. She wanted to see what was going on below.
The smell in the hot and humid cabin was definitely not good, but Alena didn't care. She had lived by the sea since she was a child and had long been used to it.
As the footsteps approached the cabin at the rear of the ship, the sound of shouting and discussion gradually grew louder.
"Keep it up and push harder, Miss Alena said, after the work is completed, each person will be given a gold coin." The second officer's cheering voice sounded.
"Hey, hey... Hey, hey... don't move anymore." A few rough voices shouted feebly.
"This thing is too tiring. How can humans compare with machines?"
"You can't say that. The Young Moon Council has always said that nature is superior to machinery. Look at the sea beast opposite, isn't it a naturally born monster?"
"Ah, what crappy philosophy are you talking about again? I just know that I'm as tired as a dog now and I really can't understand it."
"Actually, dogs are not that tired." A weak voice nearby complained.
"Then I'm not even as good as a dog." The voice before was also anxious.
"Ahem, make money, don't think too much." The second officer next to him couldn't help but interrupt.
Although the words continued, these people were still pushing the wheels reluctantly, but how much effort they exerted was unknown.
Bang——
The door suddenly opened, and a strong figure stepped into the cabin with the brim of his hat pressed down.
"Ah...Miss Alena."
Several sailors suddenly became nervous when they saw the sassy girl. Although they rationally told themselves that the old captain's daughter would not do anything to them, they still felt guilty after being caught at the scene.
"Why, keep talking!" Alena stepped on the barrel with her sharp foot, looking at these slick sailors, they were all old acquaintances.
"Usually when I'm drinking and looking for women, I really boast about myself, but now I'm like a dead cat, stretching its legs."
"Didn't I teach you how to practice before? Why are all of you now ranked at Rank 2, not even 3? If you drank less and were more diligent, would you still be single in this life...
"Alena's words of rebuke were as continuous as the sea water.
After graduating from Emenas, this girl seemed to have changed a lot in her way of speaking after getting used to hanging out with sailors at sea. The elegant atmosphere she had acquired from her roommates quickly dissipated, and she became directly rude and arrogant.
However, paired with her still beautiful appearance and figure, Alena looks somewhat handsome now.
Seeing these sailors who were usually lazy, slippery and greedy, Aliena became more and more angry as she talked. Finally, she simply pulled out the long knife from her waist. The knife was sharp and she waved it in the air. A few gusts of cold wind flew away with the blade, causing everyone in the cabin to
Others trembled inside.
"I can't do it, I can't do it, Miss Alena, my aunt. You can put the knife away, brothers really can't bear it..." The second officer saw how much of the hair on his forehead was cut off.
Roots, my back felt cold, and I quickly begged for mercy.
"Yes, yes, Miss Alena, please put the knife away."
"We will work hard to paddle." Several other sailors quickly agreed.
This eldest lady is a real Magic Sequence 5, and she is also the one with solid strength and is about to advance. There are few people on the nearby islands who are her opponents. The most important thing is that she is still young, so few people dare to mess with this lady.
Miss Captain.
"Huh." Alena glared at these people and inserted the enchanted knife back into her waist.
After that, she quickly chanted a spell, and a stream of refreshing air swirled in the cabin, dispelling the previous stuffy heat.
"Come on, uncles and uncles, you will definitely remember today in the future." Alena's tone softened slightly.
"Because you are following the future great sage of the magic sequence, the user of thousands of magical beasts, the overlord of the seven seas, the inventor of alchemical creations that is popular in the world, and the triple great Lady Alena."
"Yes!" the sailors replied in unison.
On the sea under the scorching sun, a sea-going ship with horizontal sails sailed towards the escaping sea beast at high speed. Behind the ship's hull were surging white waves.
