Did the tavern owner cook Chinese food today?

It takes a certain amount of time to deliver a letter to the lord and also want to have a private audience.

During this period of waiting, Holly had already considered on board the Sienna, and planned to sell some food on Lost Island first.

On the one hand, I want to make some money; on the other hand, because the tavern I will open in the future will focus on alcohol and Chinese food, and the staple food of Chinese food is mostly rice.So, let's make some rice-like food first, and investigate the acceptance of various races by the way.

Yesterday, Holly and the others traveled back and forth in the main city to make kitchen utensils and buy ingredients, and they spent another night processing them.

Tired is quite tired, but Holly woke up refreshed early in the morning, gearing up, feeling a little excited in his heart.

This is the first time in his life to set up a stall.

Yes, he wants to set up a stall.

A special mule was brought in to pull the cart, and Bobby rode in front, and Holly and Wilmer sat among the pots and pans full of things.

Xiaokulou is only 11 years old, just at the age when he should sleep more. Last night he insisted on helping, and he tossed with him until midnight, and now he is drowsy.

Hawley hugged Wilmer to his shoulders and visited the main city along the way. It didn't take long before he arrived at his destination.

They chose a spacious area on the edge of the city road, near the small port in the west, with a large flow of people.There are also several small vendors selling goods on the street.

As long as it does not cause road congestion, "urban management" will not come to your door.

After getting out of the car, Hawley immediately acted - set up a stove, set up a stove, burn wood and start a fire.

When it comes to this small portable stove, there is something to be said: this is the "treasure" he found when he came to Lost Island this time.

When he visited the main city earlier, he found that the residents used to build their houses with a different adhesive than the usual mixture of volcanic ash and lime.Later, I asked the residents, and it turned out that a special clay unique to the island was added to it.

The mud mixed with special clay can be dried in the shade or calcined to achieve a good bonding effect.

Although sand and soil were not used, Hawley observed the finished product carefully: the sturdiness and durability still need to be improved, but overall it is already very good.

——This is a prototype of cement!

If there is a chance to settle down on the Lost Island, he must try to use this special clay to get the cement out.

But the dust is still uncertain, he has to implement the matter in front of him.Yesterday I made a special trip to find a craftsman to make and calcine this mixture and make a small portable stove.

All the ingredients are prepared in advance, there are mung beans in the stew pot, and now it only needs to be stewed directly.

The other two stoves are equipped with his two different iron pots.

The hot pan was burning oil, and Wilmer skillfully controlled the firewood underneath.Seeing that the temperature was about the same, Holly poured in the egg liquid, and an oily aroma exploded instantly.

There were passers-by on the street who were curious about their stall posture. At this time, the overbearing fragrance was intense, and everyone couldn't help stretching their necks to smell it, which attracted many people to stop.

After sautéing the scallions until fragrant, Holly also chooses fresh shrimps to enhance the freshness.

The rice is the original rice, because it is steamed very dry in the morning, so there is no need to make overnight rice.

What's more, there is Bobby, a tool man, whose ice elemental magic is really good. He has made a refrigerator before and relied on his master to freeze the ingredients.

Even with the hot summer sun, it is not a problem to keep the ingredients fresh during the day today.

Add the rice and stir-fry, Holly lifted the pot and turned the spoon.

Shrimp curled up and rolled in the white waves and green waves. The onlookers couldn't help exclaiming, and some even started clapping their hands.

"What kind of performance is this? It's so exciting!" A lady covered her mouth and exclaimed to a friend who was narrating.

Her friend was stunned, and said in a daze, "I've never seen such a peculiar way of cooking... Is this really cooking?"

Next, melt the half-boiled eggs into the pot again and stir them up with chopsticks.

At this time, there is no longer only the white ocean, but the golden fragments are like the sunlight at sunrise, sprinkled on the sea.The aroma of eggs, rice, and the smell of chopped green onion and shrimp spread all over the street.

People frequently looked sideways and cast their gazes here.

A large pot of steaming egg fried rice is out of the pot and put into a large pot.

Only then did people suddenly notice that there was a sign standing next to the table, which read: "Egg fried rice: 10 coppers a bowl; pineapple sweet and sour meat: 18 coppers a bowl; mung bean soup: 2 coppers a bowl."

Added below: "Egg Fried Rice and Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork Combo: 24 coppers. Three complete meals: 25 coppers. Each person is limited to one."

There are several empty bowls on the table, each of which has a lot of weight.

Everyone was in an uproar, because the wheat bread they usually eat only costs about 3 copper coins.And an ordinary civilian family needs about 9 copper coins for staple food a day,

Although it seems that there are a lot of ingredients and it is more cost-effective to calculate, for families with relatively difficult economic conditions, such a full set of meals is too extravagant.

A small group of people left shaking their heads, and most of the rest wanted to wait and see what "Pineapple Sweet and Sour Pork"—that strange-sounding food—was like.

When preparing pineapple sweet and sour pork, they obviously saw that there were more bowls for seasoning.

The reason for choosing this Cantonese dish is that after several days of sailing and cooking observations, Hawley found that even in a different world, Westerners are generally more likely to accept sweet and sour food first.

The home version of the pineapple sweet and sour meat is relatively easy to make and delicious, so it is very suitable as an initial experiment.

The pork cubes have been breaded and pinched earlier, and he still uses Magnum’s homemade tomato sauce when making the sauce.

The oil pan heated up until the bamboo chopsticks were bubbling. In fact, Holly could directly test the oil temperature. Wilmer saw it once, and the little skull jumped away in fright.

When I asked, I thought I was going to reach in.

Holly didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the little skull was so frightened that he wouldn't test his temperature in front of him unless necessary.

The oil pan is slowly frying the meat, and the aroma is repeated.The pleasure that comes from frying is buried in the genes of every carnivore, and once mobilized, the saliva will flow endlessly.

In front of the booth, more orc mixed-race crowds were attracted.

After a while, the fried meat was cooked through, and the meat was fished out under the strong fire.

A woman boldly asked, "Why don't you turn off the fire first, and then take out the meat?"

Hawley looked up at the woman with a mane around her neck, and she knew she was a meat lover.

He raised a smile, his green eyes were full of sunlight, and he replied, "When the fire is high, scooping out the meat can force out the oil in the meat, and it won't be so greasy after eating. Ma'am, you can try it when you get home!"

The half-lion woman blushed quietly, her chin buried in her mane.Along with many ladies standing on the sidelines, they all laughed and talked about the boy in a low voice.

After all, who can resist a young man who seems to have a stable temperament, but when talking with you, youth and sunshine will overflow, break through the stable shell, and look clean and handsome?

Thoughtful, while comprehending the tips, the ladies looked at Holly with a loving expression.

Come, come, a nirvana for all ages.Seeing this situation, Bobby felt goosebumps and complained silently in his heart.

Adjust the sweet and sour sauce, boil the sauce, add a little cornstarch mixed with water.

Due to the increased favorability of many ladies towards Hawley, more people took the initiative to inquire about this step.

"It's a powder made from potatoes, and it's very simple to make; add water and pour it into the stir-fried sauce, the purpose is to make the finished sauce thicker and taste better." After all, he also informed How to make potato starch.

Someone became more and more frightened as he listened to it, so he stopped him halfway and reminded: "Young man, it's almost enough, don't tell me all the secret recipes."

"Yeah, stop talking."

"Thank you for the reminder, but it's okay." Holly responded indifferently, keeping busy with his hands, pouring in bell peppers and pineapple chunks, "This is a very practical method that can make dishes delicious. For me, it's really nothing."

What he said was the truth, if he really wanted to shake off his Chinese food skills, he might not be able to shake it off for three days and three nights.

It's over, what a boy, he turned out to be a fool—almost everyone onlookers thought so, with a touch of pity in their eyes.

Rewinding from the episode, they noticed that it was fried with fried meat—what was it called?Oh yes, the "stir-fried" side dish actually has pineapple.

"My God, is a ripe pineapple still edible?"

"I just can't imagine..."

Voices of doubt gradually increased.

Hearing the news of Holly boy setting up a stall from afar, some sailors of the Sienna who were "on vacation" came after hearing the news, and they crowded into the crowd for a while.

They were intoxicated by the familiar sweet and sour aroma, when they heard this, they hummed disdainfully, and said in their hearts: How do you know Holly's magic, all the fruits and vegetables from his hands are not bad to eat.

They came not only to satisfy their hunger, but also to cheer.Several people looked at each other tacitly, planning secretly.

The pineapple sweet and sour meat is out of the oven, and the red and orange sauce wraps the meat firmly. The surface is crystal clear, and it looks like a high-quality gemstone under the sun.

The bright yellow pineapple flesh and the green peppers bring the overall color to a more colorful level.The sourness like tomato and the sweetness of pineapple in my impression linger in the air and in my mind, arousing people's appetite infinitely.

The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

Everyone hesitated.

At this time, someone pushed forward, pointing to one dish, one meal and one soup, and the rich boss ordered all of them.

Someone bought a bowl of pineapple sweet and sour pork.

Holly recognized those familiar faces with bright smiles, but he didn't say much, and greeted them warmly like a guest.

He didn't show it on the surface, but the firecrackers rang with joy in his heart.

What is the tap water army, this is the perfect support!

The dish is not a bowl, but a large leaf similar to a banana leaf that he found specially.It is odorless after washing and has excellent toughness, which is very suitable for packing trays.

Even if the sailors sincerely express the deliciousness of the food at hand; even if others feel that this reaction is a bit exaggerated... But the effect is indeed remarkable. There is No. 1 who eats crabs, and it can affect people who are extremely shaken.

"Give me an egg fried rice!"

"A serving of sweet and sour pork with pineapple!"

These two customers were the women who were the first to watch. They knew each other and decided to buy a copy each, and exchanged tastes.

As soon as the fried rice and sweet and sour meat were in their mouths, they instantly understood why those big men's reactions were so exaggerated.

——The rice grains of fried rice are loose, part of the egg liquid wraps the rice, and the other part can chew out the egg grains.The fresh shrimp undoubtedly brings the overall taste to the extreme, and it is tender and refreshing, and the chopped green onion inside can taste the sweetness!

——The description of sweet and sour sauce is very contradictory: it feels rich when it touches the taste buds, but it feels sweet when it fills the mouth.The sweet and sour taste locks the meat, while the fried meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, so tender that it is almost easy to chew, and the teeth can grind it apart.

The pineapple is simply the icing on the cake. It is not as unbearable as imagined. Instead, the fruity aroma perfectly resolves the greasy feeling of eating fried meat continuously.

They were so excited that they were on the verge of tears, and they nodded incessantly as they tasted each other's food.

It was originally intended to be shared with family members, but now the impact of delicious food makes the two want to share it on the spot.

Seeing that the people who bought it all responded positively, other onlookers became more and more eager to move, and more and more people joined the ranks, bought a copy, and praised the deliciousness.

At noon, the sun was hot, and Holly was so busy that he was dizzy, painful and happy,

He asked Master to chill the mung bean soup, but few people bought it, almost only for fried rice and vegetables.

"Old man, have you forgotten what we agreed on before?"

From the moment Bobby left the house, until now, his expression was a little strange.He has a serious face and the corners of his mouth are drooping, and he can only glimpse some happiness when he is counting money.

Hearing this, Bobby's face became even more stinky.

After all, he is his obedient and filial apprentice, and Hawley is not afraid to add fuel to the fire: "Aren't you usually very hospitable, why are you shy at this time, is it because you have too many aunts?"

Veins popped out of Bobby's forehead, and his shoulder and arm muscles suddenly swelled.

"You promised me—" Holly laid down the final shot.

"Okay, okay, go make a fuss about your food, nasty!" Bobby shouted in a low voice.

Hawley grinned and pushed Wilmer, who was packing the food, with his elbow, signaling him to watch the show.

Looking at Hawley who looked like he didn't want to be beaten, Wilmer felt amused, and went back with a headache. This man must be dealt with.

...But he is also looking forward to what Uncle Bobby will do next.

Clearing his throat, Bobby twisted his neck uncomfortably, his mouth opened and closed, and his face was already flushed before he could speak.

After brewing his emotions for a long time, he finally took a deep breath——

"Mung bean soup! Iced mung bean soup, refreshing and cold, give it to your sweetheart, give it to your sweetheart, hold three fats in a year, and the children will call you parents!"

There was silence all around.

"puff!"

"Ha ha ha ha--!"

In an instant, laughter broke out among the diners.

Holly laughed so hard that he got under the table and couldn't get up.

Wilmer also laughed so hard that his whole body was shaking, unable to pull Holly, he quickly rescued Bobby with a clear voice: "Delicious thirst-quenching mung bean soup, only two copper coins!"

Everyone bought while laughing, and Wilmer took the leaf and rolled it, using the method Holly taught him: roll it into a cone shape like a zongzi, and present it to the guests.

Damn, put on an old face just to yell out this voice for his apprentice in the voice-changing period, but the apprentice laughed so hard that he wanted to retch.

Xiaokulou is usually a bit boring, but he is reliable at critical times and is willing to help him out.Bobby was so ashamed that he slandered wildly, and the whole old man was frozen in place like a statue.

Wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes, Holly got up, wiped his hands, and continued cooking.

That's right, he deliberately asked the master to hawk and sell the words, and he made up the words randomly.Watching the old man's social death moment is the joy that can always be ranked in the top three in Holly's heart.

Holly got his wish and continued to cook with satisfaction.

...Wait, something seems wrong?

"Boss! Someone is stealing food!" Someone in the team exclaimed.

He was negligent - just lie down on the table for a while, this thief is very quick.

He quickly turned his head and looked in the direction of the diner's finger.

It was a boy with animal ears who was about as tall as Wilmer and was flying through the crowd!

Holly put the pot away, and shot out like an arrow, chasing after him closely.The animal-eared boy noticed that he was chasing him and accelerated his steps.

The thieves knocked passers-by to this side, jumped and ran over the vendors, causing a lot of complaints.

Judging by the tail and speed, it is estimated that it has feline ancestry.Huo Li probably won't be able to compete with half of the orcs for speed.

Seeing the thief about to run around the corner, he bent down, picked up a stone, and popped it out from between his fingers!

The boy with animal ears couldn't find it, and tripped to the ground all of a sudden!

It was too late to get up again.Hawley caught up, grabbed him by the collar, and pushed him against the wall.

The boy stared at him with a pair of golden beast eyes, opened his mouth, lowered his head, and bit his knuckles with his canine teeth.

"Hiss..." Holly gasped, but let his fangs pierce the skin without letting go.

"I was caught stealing, and now all the food has been spilled, how should you pay for it?"

The boy caught a glimpse of the man's hand bleeding from the bite, and apparently did not expect such a situation.He let go of his mouth in a daze, just froze for a moment, and instantly returned to his ferocious appearance.

"Well, since you don't want to answer, don't blame me for doing it."

After speaking, Holly used the holy light to stab the eyes of the beast-eared boy in front of him tightly.He took the opportunity to take him down and restrained him with his backhand, his strength was more than sufficient to restrain the child.

But he suddenly felt a burning pain in his wrist, and there was a flame burning on the boy's fist!

"You know magic?" Holly frowned, and summoned the holy light again. There was a faint light around his wrist and knuckles, and the wound healed slowly.

I don't know if I need a rabies vaccine after being bitten by a half-breed orc...

The boy replied viciously: "What's none of your business?!"

"Although I don't always attack juniors casually, if you steal things first, if you still don't have the right attitude, I don't mind beating you to half-death right away. It's a convenient way to educate you—so, if you get beaten, you should follow me obediently." Go, you choose one."

After struggling for a long time, the young man couldn't move his silk pattern. Hearing the tone of the person behind him, it seemed that he would indeed do this to him.

So the animal-eared boy lowered his head in frustration and remained silent.

It's true that he was beaten up, at most he was dislocated, and half dead was just a threat.

Hawley saw that people were honest, and brought them all the way back to the booth.

Everyone stared from a distance, looking forward to the return of the boss, who was still holding a thief in his hand.

After finding the rope used to tie the pots and pans, Hawley was there to guide and assist, and within a short while, Wilmer tied him up.

"Do you remember the promise you made to me on the way? Use your abilities well to offset the compensation. If you do well and stick to the end, I will reward you with fried rice."

Wilmer was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then the skeleton face under the mask drooped, hiding in the shadows, and asked, "Holly, what's going on, why did you give him food instead?"

Bobby just glanced here briefly, then turned his head and continued to collect money, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

On the way back, the boy with animal ears told him the reason: because many people thought he was too young to do much work, and he had a frail younger sister at home. The two brothers and sister had no financial resources and had been hungry for several days.

It's funny to say that this was his first time as a pickpocket, and it was a temporary idea - because the food made by Holly was so delicious that he was dizzy with hunger.I couldn't hold it back, so I took advantage of everyone's inattention and stole a copy to go home.

A half-breed orc boy of the leopard tribe can run so fast even when he is hungry and weak.

While explaining to Wilmer, Holly expressed his complaints and envy.

But Little Skull still didn't say anything, just focused on packing.

The leopard boy also remained silent, and followed Holly's instructions to heat up the food in the pot to prevent the prepared food from getting cold.

He sighed softly, and said softly: "Since the plot is not that serious, even if he lied, judging by the degree, if he can make up for his mistakes, why not do it? This is a win-win result."

"I'm not lying." The boy with animal ears moved his lips, wanting to show his teeth. He suppressed this impulse and interrupted muffledly.

"Yes, yes, you didn't lie——" Hawley couldn't laugh or laugh, and responded a little perfunctorily, after all, his words were mainly for Wilmer, "Proper forgiveness doesn't mean that we have to be good people. There’s no black and white way of dealing with things.”

"While striving for our own interests, we should try our best to look at some things in the long-term and in the overall direction, and consider issues from multiple perspectives."

"If it's hard to understand, let me tell you this for now: try to change the black into white."

Hawley's words actually gave Wilmer a lot of conceptual shock.

Because for a long time, the concept formed by combining experience is that rewards and punishments must be absolutely clear.

He quickly thought about some methods, and by comparison, it seems that "making up for mistakes" is indeed the best way to deal with it.

It was a little difficult for him to understand the above passage, half-understood.It feels like a fog cage when you touch some key place, and if you think about it more deeply, you will be able to see the sun through the clouds.

Unlike the situation where Hawley's soul is an adult, at Wilmer's age, it is very rare to be able to think independently.

Maybe he is talented and delicate, or he has experienced too many pains and difficulties unimaginable to ordinary people, forcing him to think a lot at this age in order to protect himself.

Children who are too precocious and sensitive, if they are not properly guided when considering things, it is easy to get into a dead end.

One is to increase the psychological burden; the other is that if self-contained values ​​are formed, it will be more difficult to guide-the only thing they can trust is themselves, so it is very easy to cling to their own opinions.

Among the diners in line, someone heard Holly's teaching to Wilmer and praised Bobby in a low voice: "You are young and promising! Your little boss is really amazing!"

Bobby had a short stubble beard, and he wanted to raise his head to the sky. He thought he nodded in a low-key way, but it aroused the jealousy of many parents.

Holly: ...

Forget it, he couldn't clarify even if he wanted to.He was really 14 years old, but he was just a junior high school student who had fun with his classmates all day long and was busy with the high school entrance examination. How could he know so much.

Because the portion is limited, the sun has not yet set, and even not long after, all the ingredients have been used up.

There are still many diners who have not lined up complaining and sighing.Holly promised them that he would come to sell new dishes on time tomorrow, and everyone got a little bit of comfort and dispersed.

The time is not too long, but the tiredness is real.

Holly's hands were sore, and Bobby didn't let him go to practice at night, obviously out of revenge!

But Bobby was willing to take over the task of doing the dishes, and Hawley stopped talking and cheating.

Of course, he left an egg fried rice and a bowl of mung bean soup at the end as a reward for the subsequent good performance of the leopard boy.

When the leopard boy left, he scribbled awkwardly for a while, and squeezed out an apology and thanks to him.

They shouldn't be bad in their bones, and Hawley has always been tolerant of children who can still reform themselves.

After excluding the cost, I made a total net profit of 6 silver and 22 copper coins today.

Everyone was very satisfied with the result.They are taking the road of small profits but high sales, the purpose is to make a name for themselves, and the final result is gratifying.

Except for the vegan race, the omnivorous and carnivorous race responded very well to today's staple food and dishes, and the acceptance far exceeded expectations, and the mung bean soup was also sold out.

In view of the huge sacrifice made by Master today, Wilmer was exhausted and collapsed into a bone cake——

Hawley decided to use the leftover egg whites from the day to make meringue desserts for them at night, rewarding the duo after a busy day.

If the portions are sufficient, give some snacks to the hotel owner and his wife.You must know that they are busy preparing ingredients, but they take up a lot of space in the backyard of the hotel.

With a smile on the corner of Holly's lips, he rubbed the little skull who slept in and out.

The road ahead is fairly bright.Even if there is no light, he will create light to make their future bright.
