1247. The Showdown between Beautiful Flowers and Toru Soragi
The moment the Kongmu family's boat was led to the port by Gardevoir walking on the sea, Kongmu Tetsu looked at the land under his feet and had an unreal feeling.
Now in the Sinnoh region, except for those ascetics who practice hard in the uninhabited areas, if you haven't heard about the island, you will really be suspected of being primitive people from a backward era.
Qidao has been too photogenic during this period.
The alliance issued a document recognizing the ownership of Qidao and officially sent all relevant documents to Qidao.
This document was not circulated internally, but was informed by an official announcement.
The people in the Sinnoh region felt the shock of the people in the Galar region when they heard about Armor Island's autonomy, and they all exclaimed that they couldn't understand.
Since the Alliance came to govern Sinnoh, Qidao is the only island that has been officially recognized and has the right to self-governance. This fact alone is enough to make countless people’s minds go numb.
Not to mention that the owner of the island is still Luther, a fierce man who just made a big fuss in the Galar Championship and escaped unscathed. There is also the Sinnoh region champion Sirona on the island, and there is a high probability that there will be champions from other regions.
Kongmu Che, who had been just listening to people's discussions, got off the boat and looked at this paradise-like place obsessively.
"Are you new here?"
The sudden sound made Kongmu Che, who was immersed in emotion, stunned and turned to the source of the sound.
On the edge of the pier, there was a row of stone tables and benches, and five or six people in different costumes had colorful drinks in front of them, with cigarettes in their mouths, and they all looked at Kongmu Tetsu.
Kongmu Tetsu looked beyond the group of people and saw a beautiful flower operating a mixer to make something in the wooden pavilion behind the stone table.
On the small wooden shelf behind the beautiful flowers are various pastries and a strange glass jar that looks like soaked fruit pulp.
"Beautiful flowers, add a little honey cream cake, add more honey, the kind with a floral fragrance."
Meilihua responded, then raised a small wooden hammer to hit the bell in front of her. She quickly stepped forward to take her drink, returned to her seat and drank happily.
Workers on Qidao?
But I have never heard that Qidao is undergoing major construction projects.
With curiosity, Kong Muche approached the group of people, and then he smelled a strong fishy and salty smell.
The taste of the sea.
Understand, these boats at the dock belong to them.
"I said this guy can't be new here. Look at his spotless silver-gray suit with no wrinkles at all. He doesn't look like a running boat. He is definitely a big customer of Qidao."
"That's a new one too. I'm not wrong. Judging from his expression just after getting off the boat, I can tell a lot."
Kongmu Che was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
The sound of Meilihua ringing the bell saved him, and another person got his own dessert and drink. He even ordered a piece of fruit that Kuangmu Teru was very curious about and soaked in a jar.
Kongmu Che pointed at the stone table, and then pointed at the beautiful flowers. He was quite curious and asked: "Are these provided by Qidao?"
"Yes, Mai made it for us after we made suggestions to Mai." A tall and thick man with a mouthful of cream raised his head and answered Kuangmu Tetsu's nonsense.
It's not that the person who answered them has a sense of superiority, it's that he feels that Kongmu Tetsu's question is outrageous.
Can Mai still allow people outside Qidao to make money at the dock?
Are you looking down on Mai?
However, an old man noticed Kuangmu Tetsu's embarrassment and explained patiently: "Those of us who are running boats travel back and forth between the open sea and Sinnoh all day long. Suzuran and Qidao are both on our sailing route, but in the final analysis,
Qidao is closer to Binhai City."
"So in order to save time, we usually take the Binhai-Qidao-Waihai route."
"A long time ago, this sea route was a service provided by the alliance. Later, Qidao changed its owner, and it became Qidao to provide services."
"Because Qidao was a desert island in the past, we will only be given some simple tea supplies here, and there will be no other transactions."
"After Mai took over, we paid her the parking fee and asked her for some basic services, which is what you see now."
"Actually, we just wanted a place to stay and rest for a while, but then we found out that the rest pavilion made by Mai is really good."
The old man pointed to the things on the table.
“Pastry, freshly squeezed juice drinks, all available, and the price is even lower than in Binhai City.”
The rest of the crowd echoed: "I can't control my mouth. I used to endure it and eat again when I returned to Binhai City. Now I feel uncomfortable when I pass by Qidao and don't come over to eat anything."
"There is also this thing called pickled sour. It's so delicious...it's sour and spicy, and some pickled sour is crunchy. It's quite chewy."
"It's a pity that we don't offer takeout now, otherwise I would definitely take more home for the children to eat."
Kongmu Che frowned. His keen intuition from many years of shopping in shopping malls made him realize something the moment he heard pickled sour and realized that it was a snack made from fruit.
He quickly walked to the beautiful flower's pavilion and bought a pickled sour from the beautiful flower.
This sour pickled fruit has only white flesh, so I can no longer identify what kind of fruit it is.
Meilihua skillfully pulled out a sign from under the pavilion, took a look at it, and then raised it.
It clearly says "Make it spicy?"
Kongmu Tetsu was amused by Qidao's service spirit.
In order to take care of these boatmen, Meilihua was even specially trained to know a few words.
The spicy pickled sour was handed to Kongmu Tetsu, and he smelled the aroma of the chili powder on the pickled sour, the rich sourness, and the faint fruity aroma...
Kongmu Tetsu's saliva started to secrete wildly, and he stuffed the fruit pulp into his mouth.
Kung Mu Te's eyes lit up while he was still chewing. The toothpick pierced the pulp faster and faster. After a while, a box of pickled sour was put into Kung Mu Te's stomach.
I’m still not finished!
It’s all here, let’s try them all.
Having made up his mind, Kongmu Te took another piece of cake, but saw Meilihua suddenly holding up a sign.
"What to add?"
Seeing the previous performance, Kongmu Che decided to tease this beautiful flower.
"Then what do you have?"
This deliberately complicates the inquiry.
Kongmu Che smiled. He didn't think Qidao would prepare so many brands for Meilihua, nor did he think Meilihua could know so many words.
However, Meilihua didn't look embarrassed. She calmly took out... a handful of flags from under the cabinet.
The words "honey", "seasonal fruit", "cream" and so on are clearly written on these flags.
Meilihua took out a few more small round cardboards, which clearly said "increase the amount", "explode harder", "I want them all", "stuff them as hard as I want them all".
Beautiful Flower grinned proudly, facing Kongmu Che, she looked proudly like a queen.
Seeing the dull Kongmu Tetsu, she provocatively picked up the cardboard that said "Stuff it as hard as I can and I want them all" and squinted at Kongmu Tetsu.
This meaning couldn't be more obvious.
"If you don't want this, I will look down on you."
