Did the tavern owner cook Chinese food today?

"This place is even more spacious than I imagined." Mei Mi swept her robes and landed on her toes.After dismounting, she led the rein and approached Andrea.

"I seem to smell the fragrance!"

Andrea couldn't help laughing: "It's still far from the kitchen, so you can smell it?"

"Then who is to blame? I was greedy all the way by you." Mei Mi said angrily.

The horseshoe prints formed a long and narrow line, dragging behind the two of them.

As soon as they entered the winery, the stable boy quickly came forward.Mei Mi could faintly smell the horse smell on his body, but it was much milder than other grooms, and some horse breeders of minor nobles were not so respectable.

While she was looking around, other workers were secretly observing the two.

The temperament of the elves is outstanding, and Mei Mi comes from the royal family - her every move seems to contain a faint fragrance, and this flower-like breath can only exist in the superb scenery.

Even though their clothes were as low-key as possible, it could still be seen that the visitor must be a nobleman who came from a distinguished family background.

Everyone dared not offend with their eyes.To be exact, for fear of disturbing the flower, he glanced at it and retracted.There are noble people visiting the wine shop from time to time, and everyone has long been used to it.There was only one doubt in their hearts - why didn't they bring servants?

"Miss Andrea!"

There was a shout from afar, and the two followed their reputation, and a middle-aged man dressed as a manager trotted over.Seeing Andrea, he raised his beard and smiled, and the wrinkles on his face burst open.

"Long time no see," he greeted enthusiastically, "It's hard work for you two. It's very cold today, please follow me, I will take you to the boss's place to have a good rest."

Mei Mi's eyes hidden under the hood widened slightly, and her vivid green eyes swept around, watching Andrea take off her hat, with a gentle expression, casually chatting with the steward.

The steward's behavior is naturally full of respect, and apart from respect, he is even more kind, which is not something Mei Mi can meet in the palace.

Her friends surprised her even more. From the moment she entered the winery, it was like stepping into her own door.

It seems that Andrea really likes this place, Mei Mi thought sourly in her heart.

"Where's Holly?" Andrea asked the steward.

"The boss is cooking himself, and he is very busy." The steward smiled, "He has cooked a table of delicious dishes, waiting for the two adults."

"Why didn't you see Wilmer?" Mei Mi asked, pulling Andrea's sleeve.She is very interested in her best friend's apprentice.

"He's around."

Andrea immediately raised her eyes to one place, and gently squeezed her fingers hidden in her cuff——

"boom!"

There was a lot of movement coming from the front right. This place was close to Hawley's residence. Fortunately, the surrounding area was relatively open and did not attract too many people's attention.

At the corner, dust and smoke drifted away, and finally a man similar in appearance to them appeared, walking towards them.

"Master." The man's pale blond hair covered his back, and his eyelashes seemed to be covered with frost. He should have been waiting in the snow for a long time.

Andrea didn't say a word, her lake-blue eyes traveled all over Wilmer's limbs, carefully reaching the end of the thick robe.

She didn't see any dirt, so she said: "Very well, you have enough qualifications, and I will formally assess you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Mei Mi's gaze shifted from the man to Andrea.

She found out!Mei Mi was secretly happy.Andrea was not as cold as she answered at this time - she was very satisfied with that apprentice's current ability.

But, the indifferent and alienated temperament of the master and apprentice seems to be carved out of the same mold.

When everyone came to the house, Mei Mi let out a long breath, and the white mist drifted into the air.

The house was beyond her expectations: compared with the previous wineries with unique shapes, this house was so ordinary that it was a bit abrupt.

Seeing the workers' attire and the surrounding clean and tidy environment, Mei Mi subconsciously thought that the owner of the tavern should be a very decent and elegant person.

——And looking up, there was a black-haired young man with an apron on his waist standing at the door, rubbing his hands constantly from the cold, and smiling brightly.

The young people warmly greeted them to enter the house, stepped on the threshold, and the haze of winter seemed to be swept away at this moment.

The heat of the fireplace was like a warm embrace, tightly wrapping Mei Mi.

At the same time, there were all kinds of vegetable aromas that she couldn't distinguish clearly, but they were very attractive.

"Hi, I'm Holly." The young man smiled as warmly as in the room.

"Hello." Mei Mi took off her hat, revealing her blond hair, "You can just call me 'Mei'." Her voice was very soft, thin and soft, and she was naturally dignified and elegant.

Holly wasn't dazzled by the elf's beauty for too long, he recovered almost in a second.

There is no way, he basically wakes up every day to undergo Wilmer's beauty shock, and his ability to resist stress has improved to a certain extent.

The friend brought by Master Wilmer is really extraordinary, and it's hard for him not to pay attention.

The moment they entered the door, Hawley caught a glimpse of the threads and stitches of the clothes, and he could say with certainty that Miss May was at least a child of some grand duke's family.

Miss Mei doesn't talk about guards... Well, Andrea is more than enough to be her guard.But there is not even a servant, so low-key is a bit exaggerated.

His active thinking began to agitate, making unreasonable associations—maybe there might be tens of hundreds of guards ambushing around the winery, such as in the snow, always monitoring the movement of the winery.

In case the young lady didn't enjoy her meal enough, the snowdrifts would shake off, and people would start copying things... Stop it!he told himself.

"How do we do so many dishes? We can't finish them all." Andrea sat down while wiping off the water stains on her hands.

"You can pack it and take it home and eat slowly." Holly replied.

The four of them sat facing each other, and Mei Mi's attention was completely attached to the table—she saw a copper pot set up high, with a room-like opening at the bottom, filled with a small fire, burning quietly.

In the pot, the whitish vegetable soup was surging, rippling with brown and white fish.The aroma of mushrooms is transpiring, occupying the taste of the whole table dishes.

There are many blanched and half-cooked vegetables around, and there is no meat star.

"This is mushroom hot pot." Holly introduced, "There are several kinds of dipping dishes, if there is something missing in the seasoning, just tell me, I'll get it."

When Mei Mi looked at the dishes curiously, Andrea had already presented everything for her.

"Try this," Andrea handed her a small saucer full of coffee-colored sauce, "you'll definitely like it."

Mei Mi politely refused to use the fork, she picked up the chopsticks like everyone else, picked out the sauce, and put it in her mouth.

Her tongue coating was firmly grasped by the mellow sauce, and her tongue seemed to crush all the sesame seeds in an instant.There are other nuts and spices, concentrated together, so fragrant that Meimi can't help but want to cough, but it only stops at this urge.

So there is only endless fragrance left.

She couldn't help dipping her chopsticks again, and finally lost her composure: "It smells so good, it tastes great. There are sesame seeds in it, isn't it?"

"You guessed it right, Miss May." Hawley also carried a sesame sauce dish to Wilmer. He might be the only one here who can eat spicy food, and there was a lonely oil dish in front of him.

"In addition to sesame seeds, there are also peanut butter and a little sesame oil." He took out the blanched winter bamboo shoots and scooped them up for everyone, "You can rest assured that all dishes are made of vegetables, although some Looks pretty 'scary'."

"Like this?" Mei Mi pointed to a dish with a golden brown skin that looked very much like poultry.

Andrea interjected with great interest: "Guess what this is?"

Clumsily 'taming' the chopsticks, Mei Mi picked up a square stick.She bit off a corner and chewed carefully.After a while, she frowned and said, "The outer layer of skin is thin but flexible, a bit like... bean skin?"

Nianhua's tofu shop, through the hands of Donovan's Golden Rose Winery, has opened all over the mainland, and naturally has a share in the southern valley.Among the several races, bean products are the number one favorite of the elves.

"The filling has shredded carrots and bean sprouts. I've never tried the other two." After a pause, Meimi added, "It's very delicious, especially with the sauce, I like it very much."

Holly and Wilmer looked at each other and smiled, then Holly turned his eyes and said in praise: "You are really amazing, you are indeed Doupi."

"The other two are fungus and dried day lily. It's called 'Vegetarian Roast Goose', as the name suggests—a dish that looks like a roast goose and is made of all vegetables including sauce. Since it was sold in taverns, it has been very popular with noble ladies Ladies' welcome."

He took advantage of the opportunity to talk about the dishes on the table one by one, from mushroom hot pot to sauerkraut vermicelli stew.

Mei Mi took a sip one by one, and each one was full of surprises.This can't help but remind her of her childhood, when on the eve of her birthday, she would always look forward to unknown gifts, and how pleasantly surprised she would be after receiving the gifts.

The elves have a long lifespan, and rushing into the long river formed by the convergence of time is just a flash in the pan.Surviving for a hundred years, they are like spectators in the stands, watching the dynasties of other races change for decades.

It is a blessing to live forever, but it is also a punishment. The price of "eternity" is the need to endure loneliness and numbness, which is the reason why many tribesmen are unwilling to touch those short lives.

The giant dragon race is the only race that has good relations with each other, but they cannot solve the barriers brought about by mountains and seas.

Mei Mi chewed the sweet and sticky pumpkin rice, comparing it with the eight-treasure rice.

She chatted with them, laughing like old friends who haven't seen for many years, the atmosphere was as sweet as warmed rice wine, immersed in the atmosphere of wine and food.

"We can only constantly create surprises for ourselves." - She glanced at Andrea beside her, remembering what the other party said.

This trip through mountains and rivers, during the journey, Mei Mi personally experienced the appearance of the outside world that was only recorded in the book.The only thing that can cause her fatigue may be her own constant pouring of excitement and excitement.

The same is true for the many dishes in front of you.

At this moment, she really understood why Andrea liked to run out of the southern valley so much.

Maybe even if you spend your whole life, you won't be able to see the whole continent.But for a long and limited time, having them fill the canvas called "life" and pouring colors on it is the best way to solve numbness.

"Oh, you eat so fast, leave me some fans!" Mei Mi had completely let go of herself.Under the backdrop of the warm dinner table, since leaving the palace, her mood has never been as comfortable as it is now.

Andrea simply brought her a bowl full of sauerkraut vermicelli stew, and Mei Mi ate it satiatedally, enjoying the sour and spicy, soft and refreshing vermicelli very much.

Similarly, the cabbage soaked in mushroom soup and sauerkraut soup has successfully been promoted to Meimi's favorite.

Mei Mi knew in her heart that as a princess, she couldn't run anywhere freely like Andrea.

So what should she do?

"Thank you for the hospitality." She wiped the corners of her lips, her round eyes curved.

The tabletops are all cleaned up, except for a bowl of almond milk.

"Are you satisfied with your meal?" Holly asked.

"It's the most satisfying meal I've ever eaten." Mei Mi praised without hesitation, and this was also her heartfelt words.

There were chuckles on the table again, and Mei Mi continued, "I also hope that Boss Holly can think about what happened just now."

She stared at the handsome human youth in front of her, seeing his expression become more serious.

Mei Mi appreciates Boss Nianhua's humorous character, easy-going and calm demeanor.But the above alone will not be the reason for her to propose a deal.

"Well, I hope you guys can think it over carefully. You are the ones who suffer from this deal." Holly folded his hands and rested his elbows on the table.He tilted his head slightly, his tone helpless.

"Is that true?" Mei Mi smiled, "Exchange the fruits and vegetables exclusively for Nianhua Tavern for planting recipes."

"It's impossible for you not to know that human life is very short. For me, trading is a lifetime. But in general, for you, the short-term benefits are very small."

"In the long run?" Andrea sipped the almond milk slowly.

Holly smiled.

In fact, needless to say, the hearts of everyone present were clear, and they were all very satisfied with the transaction.

Mei Mi naturally has the right to make a decision. In fact, she has considered it since the grafting results caused a sensation among the elves.

Boss Nianhua is the most amazing human being she has come into contact with.

Yes, amazing.Because she had never imagined that such a fragile race could be compared to a shooting star—fleeting, but dazzling, deeply cutting traces in the sky.

This is an important reason for her decision.She hoped that the trajectory of the meteor could stay over the deep valley in the south.

Andrea hit it off with her, and consulted with Sir Jenkin early on.

Since the numbness cannot be completely eliminated, then create surprises, a steady stream—like a holy spring, bringing all things with bright prospects into the southern valley.

Mei Mi's feet sank into the snow again, she raised her head and let the snowflakes lick her cheeks.

She thought to herself: Since she has the rights and access, she should create more surprises for her clansmen and herself.

The author has something to say:

There is too much food in this chapter, it is too painful to write late at night (hungry)

Hands and feet are too easy to get cold in winter... Today's codewriting has been hot for a while.

The people I liked back then didn’t work as hard as trying to warm up my hands now.
