Food conquers the world

Chapter 47 The Power Struggle

It was already afternoon when we arrived in Biegun Town. Biegun Town is not big, but because it is close to the capital, merchants often stop here, so although it is a small town, it is not peaceful, but there is an endless stream of people coming and going.

Zou Kai and his party followed the crowd into the town. Looking at the shops lined up on both sides of the street, Steer asked Dele suspiciously: "Shatiecheng is not close to here, have you been here?"

"I've been here." Dele coughed dryly, feeling a little embarrassed, "When I was young, I always wanted to venture into the outside world. At that time, I came to Plains with my friends, but we didn't have the money to live in Plains. Sri, I have to live in this town."

Dele looked up at the vermilion roof on the side of the street. The roof looked very clean, as if it was newly repaired.Sure enough, Dele went on to say: "Although it has been decades, I still remember it very clearly. At that time, there was no such a street. The town of Beacon has changed a lot in the past few decades. I hope I can find the original street again." place."

"Are you looking for friends you made in town?" Zou Kai bought some baked potatoes on the side of the road as soon as he entered the city. The baked potatoes here are just baked potatoes without any additions. It would be delicious, he asked now, handing Dele a baked potato.

"No." Dele took the potatoes, tore off the skin, and said while eating, "It's a friend of Shatiecheng. He came with me. Later, he stayed here. I went back to Shatiecheng to be a salesman."

"Why?" Maier became interested when he heard this, and asked Dele.

"There's no reason!" Dele showed an impatient look, but his face was a little unnatural, "He likes it here, and I think it's as simple as going back to Shatie."

"Nothing new." Mel shushed him.

"What do children know!" Dele stomped his feet to scare him, "Go eat your potatoes!"

While making noise, Dele led the way, turned a few turns, and a street different from the previous clean red roof appeared in front of them.

The houses here are relatively old, but not dilapidated.The streets ahead were filled with various shops, and the pedestrian traffic was extremely lively, but this place seemed much quieter. Although there were still shops open, there were obviously fewer people coming and going.Zou Kai understood at a glance that this place should be the old street of Biegun Town, where Dele's friends should live.

And Dele took a few people into the old street, and he was at a loss after a few steps. He stopped at a crossroad and looked around, and finally walked to an open weapon shop by the side of the road, and asked: "Friend , do you know where Hunter's house is? It's the Hunter who came to Biegun more than [-] years ago."

Facts have proved that Dele's friend is not an unknown person in Biegun Town. Dele asked all the way and found the place.Standing in front of Hunter's house, Dele was obviously a little nervous. It was already dusk, and the setting sun dragged his figure on the street for a long time.He stood at the door for a long time before he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Who's there?" A woman's voice came from inside the door.

Hearing the voice, Dele became obviously more nervous. He straightened his clothes, turned his head and asked Zou Kai, "How is it? Do I look sloppy?"

Maier was amused: "The friend you mentioned is not one of your old lovers, is it?"

Dele ignored him, coughed, and said to the door: "It's me, Dele, I came to see you from Shatiecheng, are you all right?"

"Dele?" The female voice inside the door was a bit puzzled, and then a hearty middle-aged uncle shouted: "Dele! My friend in Shatiecheng!"

The door swung open, and a tall, middle-aged man with a beard walked out the door, stretched out his hands and hugged Dele warmly: "Old friend!"

A woman came out behind the man. Although she was no longer young, she could vaguely see from her face that she was a beautiful woman back then.The woman gave them a friendly smile and said, "Hi, since you are Evan's friends, come in and sit down."

When Dele was hugged by Evan, he obviously froze for a moment, and his expression was even more exciting when he saw the woman behind Evan. Fortunately, he is no longer a brat and knows how to control his emotions.After a moment of stiffness, he hugged Evan back and said with a smile, "Old friend!"

Evan Hunter warmly entertained several people, and Dele and Evan talked about the past, and euphemistically expressed their desire to stay here.Evan noticed that they had just arrived in Biegun Town, and they must have not found a place to live. He said that his sons had moved out and they were bored, so he invited them to live in his house, and Dele immediately agreed.

"I said... won't Mr. Dele feel embarrassed?" Dele and Evan chatted happily, talking about old things, Zou Kester and Maier did not intervene at all, only in Listening to the side, occasionally echoing a few words, at this moment when Dele said "OK!", I couldn't help talking to Zou Kai quietly.

"It seems not." Zou Kai replied.

"Isn't that bad?" Stuart whispered.

"He didn't realize that he was troubling others at all!" Maier also interjected.

"Actually, neither do you." Zou Kai said.

"Nothing?" Mel looked at him.

"It's nothing." Zou Kai looked at Dele, "Uncle Evan is a good man, let's live here."

"You are too casual!" Maier said, "And Dele was very embarrassed at the beginning! He obviously didn't want to see Uncle Evan! They must have some grudges! Then why do you still live here!"

"It's true." Stuart thought for a while, "I don't think Dele looked at Mrs. Hunter in the right way. Could it be that Dele had a good relationship with Evan and made an appointment to go back to Shatie, but because Mrs. Hunter wanted to Staying in Biegun, so the two good friends are separated from now on?"

"That makes sense." Maier nodded, "Maybe Mrs. Hunter is still crying and wants to stay, otherwise, let Uncle Evan go alone. Women are vain, and they probably think Bigen is better than Shatie."

Zou Kai couldn't laugh or cry: "Where did you hear that? Mrs. Hunter doesn't look like this kind of person. If you want me to say that both Dele and Uncle Evan liked Mrs. Hunter at the beginning, but Uncle Evan chased after her, so he If you stay, Dele will have to leave."

"That makes sense." Stan nodded.

"Just go and ask Dele later." Zou Kai patted Siter and motioned him, "We've eaten, we'll think about it after we finish eating."

While they were chatting, Mrs. Hunter had already prepared dinner and brought it up at this moment.Zou Kai was excited in his heart. He had had enough of potatoes and bread. The food that people living near the capital used to entertain guests would definitely not be unpalatable...

"Dinner is ready." Mrs. Hunter put a plate in front of Zou Kai.

Zou Kai lowered his head and saw three steaming carrots on the plate, as if mocking his innocence.

"This is a newly harvested carrot. It tastes very good. Let's eat it!" Mrs. Hunter's voice was full of laughter.

Zou Kai stared at the carrot, and under Mrs. Hunter's expectant eyes, he picked up one with a blank expression and took a bite.It's very good, fully cooked, and salt is added, it's not white, it's really not bad.

"How is it?" Mrs. Hunter looked at Zou Kai expectantly, "Is it delicious? I heard that there are no carrots in Shatiecheng, are you still used to eating them?"

"Delicious!" Zou Kai raised his head, and immediately put on a happy expression like changing his face, "It's so delicious, I have never eaten such a delicious radish." His voice quickly lowered and said The speed changed quickly, "It's already troublesome for us to live here, please leave the tiring work of cooking to me in the future!"

"this is not good……"

Mrs. Hunter was only halfway through, and Dele immediately said to Evan: "Kay likes cooking very much, let him come."

"Okay then!" Evan smiled heartily at Mrs. Hunter, "If they want to, let them do it! Sally, you should also rest!"

When Evan said this, several people breathed a sigh of relief.After all, after eating what Zou Kai cooked for so long, it would be really hard for them to switch back to the original food all of a sudden.
