So which hotel do you most want to visit in Cherry City?
Everyone will choose the ‘Eating and Wine Pavilion’.
Not only because the food in the latter is more delicious, but also because the 'Food and Wine Pavilion' will hold special competitions by industry insiders from time to time, which makes the latter particularly attractive.
However, the restaurant that Delbon brought Jason to was 'Tonio's Restaurant'.
Cherry House is too expensive.
It's so expensive that it far exceeds the term "cost-effectiveness".
And the ‘food and wine pavilion’?
There is no place at all.
He started to reserve a seat last month, but now, it's still not his turn.
Delbon felt sorry for this.
Of course, there is another important reason for choosing ‘Tonio’s Restaurant’: it’s suitable for Jason!
At least, that's what Delbon thinks.
"Don't worry, Sir Jason."
"I'll try to make an appointment."
"As soon as there is a place, I will invite you to the 'Food and Wine Pavilion'."
Delbon assured Jason.
"good."
Jason nodded.
He never refuses an invitation to dinner.
Moreover, he was also quite curious about the 'food and wine pavilion' that Delbon mentioned.
Special comments from industry insiders?
Is it a cooking demonstration?
There must be quite a few chefs gathered, right?
I really want to try the food they cook!
Jason was thinking in his heart, but he followed Delbon without missing a step and walked to a gravel road.
Compared with the asphalt road when you got off the bus, the road conditions here are a little more uneven. However, it is not dilapidated or in disrepair, but a special decoration style.
On the side of the gravel road, there are shops that are different from modern ones, with wooden signboards and period-looking windows. The street lamps have also changed from electric lamps to gas lamps.
The female shop assistants here wear long, loose skirts that are either white or brown, reaching their ankles and covering their uppers.
As they walk, their steps are light and powerful, making their unpainted faces full of youthful vitality, and the hairbands on their heads will shake, making them look more playful and cute.
Black leather shoes will appear outside the skirt. Not only are they not abrupt, but they add just the right color.
Men's clerks wear shirts and overalls or tuxedos.
The former acts as a doorman and security guard.
The latter is a higher-level store manager or supervisor.
Jason's eyes swept over everything in front of him, and a flash of memory appeared in his eyes.
Looks like Lorde!
He sighed in his heart.
The unknown street in front of him, except for some details, was exactly the same as the 'Lord' in his memory.
Delbon saw the nostalgia in Jason's eyes.
It is indeed an ancient species!
Coming here is the right thing to do!
Delbon, who was thinking about this in his heart, clenched his fist secretly.
As one of the outstanding members of the 'Clock Tower', he has of course come into contact with many people on the 'mysterious side', both young and old, especially the latter.
That kind of age really shocked him as a 'magician'.
And without exception, these people love it here.
They come back here from time to time for a walk.
Sometimes I have meals.
Sometimes just hanging out.
Or even just pick a warm afternoon and sit here and bask in the sun.
Of course, there are also those who bathe in the moonlight.
Therefore, when Jason asked him to fulfill his promise to treat him to dinner, he specifically chose this place.
After all, this is a place for older people.
In order to be able to bask in Jason's glory more in the future, Delbon obviously put a lot of thought into it.
However, he did not dare to directly say the word 'ancient species'.
He clearly remembered that Jason didn't seem to like such a title.
"We really love coming here. It preserves our most glorious era and is also our final place of memories. This is what my teacher said. He is very old, at least 190 years old, or 200 years old.
The era he lived in was what he looked like in front of him, right?"
Speaking the words he had just prepared on the road, the member of the 'Clock Tower' stationed in the 'Ground Investigation Bureau' quietly looked at Jason's reaction.
In his expectation, Jason should be filled with emotion at this time.
Then, he would take advantage of the situation to tell some interesting stories from that era, leading to deeper topics.
But what he didn't expect was that Jason's face was normal, and he didn't express any emotion at all. He looked at the surrounding shops more curiously, as if it was his first time here.
Um?
Did I make a guess?
Sir Jason is not an ancient species?
No!
Based on Sir Jason's performance, there is no doubt that he is an ancient species.
And the current performance...
So that’s it!
Mr. Jason hates people saying that he is an ancient species, but being an ancient species is a fact, so he can only forget it!
Although such 'forgetting' is self-deception, it is not a bad choice for Sir Jason.
Therefore, Sir Jason not only 'forgot' his own identity, but also 'forgotten' the memory of that era?
Delbon was suddenly stunned.
He couldn't evaluate whether it was good or bad.
But it should be useful!
Haven't you seen the happiness on Mr. Jason's face when he looked at several restaurants?
Compared to the teachers who looked full of memories and emotions, Delbon preferred this kind of happiness.
"Sir Jason, please come with me."
"Tonio's restaurant is right in front."
Delbon said immediately.
Go forward along the gravel road, and when you reach the end, there is a set of steps.
There are 22 steps in total paved with stone slabs, and there are gas lamps on both sides of steps 1, 11, and 22.
The ground on one side of the gas lamp is naturally not empty. There is no lawn or flowers. Two three-story wooden houses are built along this slope. The dark brown wooden walls look very solid.
"This side is 'Tom's Inn' and this side is 'Jerry's Inn'."
"It is rumored that it is owned by two brothers. However, the relationship between the two is very bad."
"Ever since I was born, you have been fighting against me."
"But they didn't really hurt each other. Moreover, once a foreign enemy comes, the two will work together to make the other party miserable - in the 'mysterious side', the names of 'Tom and Jerry' are mentioned, and everything
Everyone knows."
Although there were some deviations from the plan, Delbon was still qualified to act as a tour guide.
"Tom Jerry?"
"Their relationship must be very good."
Jason commented like this.
For Tom and Jerry are "mysterious people", Jason is not surprising at all.
In fact, after he walked into this street, there were more "mysterious people".
He transcends ordinary people's perception and can easily discern this.
Combined with Delbon’s words before.
Jason had a definition for the street in front of him: the 'mysterious side' is a memorial for the elderly and a gathering place for the young.
Look at the architectural styles around you and the way people dress.
If some "mysterious people" weren't involved or were just pushing things along, Jason wouldn't believe anything he said.
Although it may have just started as a few elderly people reminiscing about their youthful days, later on, the place has already become different.
Stick to your original intention?
Just like asking him to insist on cremating the dead fish instead of having other ideas.
Very difficult.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be so valuable.
Thinking of the smell of grilled fish, Jason swallowed silently.
"Of course."
"We are brothers after all."
"In the early years, I heard that Jerry wanted to go to a bigger city and left a farewell letter to Tom who was sleeping. However, before Tom woke up, Jerry returned here and tore up the farewell letter.
, and even gave Tom a rare kiss."
Delbon talked about the interesting things in his mind.
Jason nodded and quickened his pace.
He could already smell the food.
When you completely walk up the stairs, 'Tonio's Restaurant' appears in front of you.
The oval wooden signboard is decorated with basil leaves on the edge, with 'Tonio' written on one side in the middle and a picture that looks like 'tomato' on the reverse side.
jingle!
Delbon walked in through the door with a familiar face.
When the doorbell rang, a chef with a handsome face, tall figure and extremely neat appearance came out.
"Delbon, welcome."
The chef has a warm smile on his face.
The white chef uniform and red scarf represent the identity of the other party's chef.
However, what concerned Jason most was the surrounding environment.
clean!
Extraordinarily clean!
The floor was so polished that people could be reflected, and the tables and chairs were spotless.
This kind of dining environment undoubtedly makes people feel comfortable and comfortable.
Jason is no exception.
"Chef Tonio, good morning, this is my good friend Mr. Jason."
Delbon introduced the two parties, and then motioned for Jason to follow him.
Under Jason's gaze, Delbon walked to the sink at the door and washed his hands.
Wash your hands before eating?
Jason, who remembers to use strong alcohol to disinfect before eating, will certainly not object.
"Chef Tonio has a bit of a weird personality. He likes to be clean very much. If you enter his restaurant without washing your hands, you will get thrown knives."
"Also, Chef Tonio is in charge here. There are no waiters. He is the chef and waiter all by himself."
"And there is no menu. He will make a special menu for everyone who walks into the restaurant."
Sitting at one of the few tables in the restaurant, Delbon began to introduce the features of 'Tonio's Restaurant'.
This made Jason even more interested.
Listening to the word 'special menu', Jason's saliva secretion accelerated again.
"Delbon, I suggest you stay up less late these days and don't read some energy-consuming books. As a 'magician', you shouldn't do this."
Tonio, who was also wearing a white apron, walked to the dining table, looked at Delbon, and said directly.
"Then what should I do as a 'magician'?"
"Meditate hard and insist on becoming a great mage?"
Delbon spread his hands and asked.
"That would be a good choice. At least your teacher will be proud of you."
Tonio replied with a smile.
Delbon simply rolled his eyes.
"I don't want to be 200 years old and still be alone. I am a good man who vows to have a family and is working hard to learn the 'way of a family man'."
Delbon sat up straight and said seriously.
"But reading those books doesn't make you popular."
"No lady will like you because of a book like that."
"However, there are no absolutes in this world."
"Maybe the person you are waiting for is just like that, and it may not be that he will appear soon."
Tonio said with a hint of teasing.
Obviously, the relationship between the two is quite good.
Only friends can tease each other like this.
When Jason was thinking, Tonio looked at him.
The look in his eyes was obviously sizing, but slightly different.
In Jason's perception, when Tonio looked at him, he could keenly notice that a familiar aura began to appear in the surrounding air - a mysterious aura.
Some kind of secret technique?
Jason sat there, not moving, thinking silently.
Tonio, on the other hand, went from being relaxed at the beginning to becoming serious.
He has never seen such a guest.
Tonio is quite confident in his secret skills.
He can use secret techniques to analyze what the guests lack, and then use food to make up for the lack.
This is also his pride as a chef.
Not only do you want your guests to be full, but they also want to eat well!
It's just... the Jason in front of me is really weird!
Under his secret observation, Jason seemed to be lacking nothing. Sitting there, he was like a solid fortress, lacking not a single thing.
However, if you look at it again, it looks like a cub that has lost its shelter.
Not only was he howling with hunger, but he was also malnourished, as if he was lacking everything.
What's going on?
Tonio frowned slightly.
He believed he was not wrong.
His secret techniques are even more infallible.
It’s just such a conflicting feeling…
The next moment, Tonio reached the limit of his secret skills.
This time, Delbon didn't need extraordinary perception to see the light in his friend Tonio's eyes.
"This is?"
Delbon was stunned for a moment, then felt relieved.
Things related to Jason should become weird, right?
With this thought in mind, Delbon spoke.
"Chef Tonio, this Lord Jason is the 'ship-killer'. Didn't you see the previous sword strike?"
Delbon reminded Tonio.
As for calling Tonio chef?
It's Tonio's request.
Delbon naturally respects his friends' requests.
"Shipbreaker?!"
Tonio was startled, then bowed.
"Welcome to your presence, Lord Shipbreaker."
Tonio said with respectful words. When the chef straightened up, a smile appeared on his face: "I have thought about your menu!"
The ship-killer was naturally not something he could guess.
It is natural that secret techniques cannot be detected.
So, just use your best skills.
Tonio turned and walked towards the kitchen, leaving Jason and Delbon alone in the restaurant.
Of course, Delbon would not let the atmosphere become awkward, and immediately told some interesting stories again.
Jason also wouldn't mind learning more about the 'mysterious side' of the 'ground' through Delbon.
As Delbon tells it, time passes.
Gradually, the alluring aroma began to spread from the kitchen.
Jason's eyes were naturally attracted, but at this moment, the door of the restaurant was pushed open.
jingle!
The opponent pushed the door with such force that the wind chime swayed left and right, and the door even hit the wall inside, making a harsh sound.
A figure strode in.
When seeing Jason and Delbon, this figure walked over simply.
Snap!
The other party took out a bunch of brand new banknotes from his arms and threw them directly in front of Jason and Delbon.
