Unlike the Ore Town Spring Horse Racing Meeting a few days ago, which required wood to be blocked in the middle of the Rose Square and transformed into a large competition venue, today's Rose Square only has some balloons and ribbons with a festive atmosphere. A long wooden table is divided into many areas.
When Annie came here with her roast chicken, there was already a lot of food placed in the separated area, and there were also many people gathered around the long table, pointing at They were pointing and discussing something while patiently waiting for the game to start.
'Annie! '
'Are you here? oh! I saw it. The food you brought today seems to be a big roast chicken? Okay, okay, come on, this space is specially reserved for you. Put your food down. There is a charcoal stove under it to ensure that nothing happens. Then you can go around and chat with everyone for a while? '
'We need to wait for everyone to arrive before we start. It's still early now. You can eat as much as you want later. We will make it a semi-buffet to ensure that everyone can try it once...'
'Come on, yes! Just leave it like this. Don't worry, we have a glass cover to cover it for you. There will be no problem. '
'Hurry, after the game is over, we can eat, soon! ! '
At this time, when Anne arrived with her own food, she was quickly led to the long table by the enthusiastic mayor, old man Thomas, and asked her to put her food on the long table like everyone else. After placing a glass lid on an empty compartment in the table, Thomas, the old man with the bad nose, motioned for her to go aside to cool down.
"!!"
(ー`′ー)
"Damn it! That's the super champion roast chicken that I roasted with great difficulty, and I didn't even let them taste a piece of it first..."
(??ˇεˇ??)
Anne, who was chased away from the long table by the mayor Thomas, muttered in vain. Apparently, she thought she could start just by bringing food, but she didn't expect that the other party wouldn't let her eat now?
If she had known this was the case, maybe she should have pulled a chicken thigh to taste it first, and she wouldn't have been like this, just staring.
(…)
(●￣?￣●)
"Really annoying……"
??(??￣?￣)????
There was no other way. After being driven away from the long table by Thomas, the old man with the bad nose, Anne had no choice but to follow what the other party said and stay away from the long table where the residents of Ore Town had placed various kinds of food. She went to the surrounding areas of Rose Square and Others gathered together to chat or wander around.
"Eh?!"
∑(′△｀)? !
"Um...Uncle Dot? Don't you like this kind of lively activities? You didn't come to the horse racing meeting a few days ago? Why are you here today?"
(???.???)????
Suddenly, Anne saw a guy wearing a white coat with a stethoscope hanging around his neck. She saw that the other person turned out to be Doctor Dot from the hospital, and she felt a little strange, so she approached him and asked.
"??"
"Is it Annie?"
"But? Am I that old? Why do you want to call me uncle?!"
Yeah? Dot wasn't too happy about that.
Originally? He had just graduated from medical school this year, and he was still a top student who skipped a grade. He was not yet twenty years old? He was only two years older than Ellie? Why did the little guy in front of him call him sister when he called Ellie? And it was his turn. What's the point of calling yourself uncle when you are alone?
"ah……"
(°ー°〃)
"Okay then? Then I'll call you 'Dot Sham'!"
(*^▽^*)
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to like the title of 'uncle'? There was no way? Anne had to find another one who was a little more cordial than 'uncle'.
"..."
Dot suddenly stopped talking? Because he thought 'uncle' and 'shu' both sounded the same old? So what difference does it make if they change or not?
"You haven't told me yet, Dot, why did you suddenly come to the square to participate in the competition?"
(σ???)σ
After seeing that the other party stopped talking and seemed to have acquiesced in the title, Anne continued to ask without caring.
"ah……"
"It's nothing!"
"Because I heard that Purbuli's mother, Aunt Lilia, is also coming to participate in the competition. She is very weak. I am worried that something might happen to her, so I came to the square specifically to prevent any accidents."
That's right!
In Dot's opinion, it would be best for Lilia not to leave the chicken farm, or even come out of the house? On weekdays, it is best not to do anything in those chicken farm jobs, let alone receive too much stimulation. That is the safest treatment plan!
But today, the other party insisted on supporting his weak body to participate in the food competition. In his opinion, it was very unwise and undesirable! If possible, he will warn the other party later that it is best not to eat randomly here... Anyway, he will definitely keep an eye on the other party, and once the other party makes an inappropriate choice, he will step forward to correct it in time.
"So this is ah?"
!(;?o?)o
"You must be careful, Duote, because they went over there first."
(????-)?
Hearing what was going on, Annie, who had long known that Purbuli's mother, Aunt Lilia, was indeed weak, nodded, and then stopped pestering the Dote in front of her who was doing important business, and just jumped up and down with a smile. To the side.
'What are you going to cook? '
'Hmm... I really have a headache...'
'Mother! '
'It's okay if you don't cook. It's me or Popley. Popley has just gone to the hot spring to get the hot spring eggs he soaked in last night. He will be back soon, and it should be fine with my egg fried rice. Understand! '
'No, Rick, your skills are no match for Mr. Dart's. '
'But we don't have to win. Mom, you can't...'
'ah! What did I think of? Rick, please help me quickly. I need you to cut those onions into shreds. Be quick. '
'But mom...'
'Stop it, please hurry up! '
'...'
When Annie wandered to the other side of the Rose Square, she actually discovered that Aunt Lilia and Uncle Rick from the chicken farm were busy in front of the simple stoves that were being cooked and sold on the side... Here in the square There was even a stove, something that Anne had never thought of!
Only then did she realize that if necessary, she could come to the square and have it cooked fresh?
'Ha ha! '
'Annie, are you here too? '
'I tell you, today's game will be exciting. I have a premonition...I am very excited every year at this time, because I can go and eat all kinds of delicious food for free, which is better than the rice cakes at the rice cake convention. ate too much! '
Then, Annie met Uncle Gotz, who had been lazy for another day. He even had the dishes and chopsticks ready. It seemed that he was really waiting for the game to end before rushing in to have a feast?
'Yo~! Anne! '
'I heard, it seems you also participated in the competition? '
'Then you have to bring out your best and most delicious dishes, because today the judge of our Ore Town Food Festival is a gourmet, and you will never be able to fool him with ordinary dishes. '
'But I think you, the little guy, will definitely not win with what you bring. No one knows better than me! '
Immediately afterwards, Uncle Zach, who had not been injured for a long time after recovery and finally lived a normal life, saw Annie passing by and came over with a smile and said hello to her.
"!!"
o(′^｀)oHmph!
However, what the other party said made Anne a little unwilling to listen, so she turned her head haughtily and walked away with a cold snort.
'...'
'dad! Are you confident? '
'Of course! '
'real? '
'Of course it's true! Lin, just wait and see, I plan to use my strongest strength this time and must win the championship of the food festival, because that is related to the reputation of our store! '
'! ! '
'Hey! Uncle Dart, don’t be too arbitrary. I, Kallen, the mysterious chef king, also participated in the competition! '
'just you? '
'Ha ha! Lin, come and see, your friend Kallen actually wants to challenge the cooking skills of your father and me, the god of cooking! Who doesn't know that your father and I have the best cooking skills in the entire Ore Town? '
'dad! Don’t be too proud, I’m participating too! '
'Hahaha! Lin, you can't do it either, you're still a little too young...'
'…..'
'Mana, who do you think has a chance of winning, Dut or Kallen? '
'I don't know... But Sasha, I heard that Lilia is also participating. If she comes too, I'm not sure who will win. '
'Lilia? '
'Yes! '
'She can't do it. As you know, her body is too weak. I heard that she hasn't cooked in almost two years. She must be feeling rusty, right? Moreover, her strength cannot move the spoon...'
'That too……'
'Then Dart should win? '
'Maybe, but I'm in the competition too! '
'ah! Mana, you...'
On the other side of the square, the tense Uncle Dart and Miss Kallen were having a fierce tit-for-tat debate, so much so that the little sister Lin who was caught in the middle didn't know who to help... And that Aunt Mana and Sasha Auntie was also talking quietly about something.
"Hello, are you Annie?"
"Speaking of which, this must be the first time we have met. Last time I saw you come to the church for a second and then ran away... After that, for so many days, I never saw you go to church again. ."
"That's not good..."
"Annie, don't you even need to pray?"
At this time, a strange man wearing black clothes and holding a black hat came to Annie and took the initiative to say hello.
Obviously, the other party was the priest in the church, the guy Anne remembered called Carter!
"..."
(￢д￢.)
"Well, Uncle Carter, the game is about to start. I have other things to do. Let's talk about it later?"
ヾ(￣▽￣)?
Are you kidding me, asking Queen Anne to go to church to pray? Who can she pray to, and who can bear her prayers?
Therefore, Anne, who felt that there were some things that the other party could not understand, didn't even think about it. She just made an excuse and ran quickly towards the long table, because now Mayor Thomas has stood up and started giving a speech, and the food festival competition must be coming soon. Before she could start, she had to prepare.
However, she suddenly discovered that the names of some people in this ore town were really confusing. For example, Uncle Dart from the bar, Dot from the hospital, and now Uncle Carter... Sometimes, she couldn't even remember who the three of them were!
…
Soon, without waiting for Annie to hesitate for long, the food festival selection competition officially began with the announcement of the mayor Thomas!
Although many residents of Ore Town brought different dishes, there were not many people who were confident in participating in the competition, only six people in total? Therefore, everyone among them, including Annie, stood in front of the competition table and stood in front of their respective dishes, waiting for the big mouth and the gourmet who looked like a pig to come forward to evaluate them one by one.
'Well……'
'The ingredients are rich, the flavors are well blended, the cooking techniques are experienced, and the heat is just right? '
'Anyway, very delicious, very delicious! great! '
The first one to be evaluated was Uncle Dart's cooking. Then, since he had opened a shop and had to cook for customers every day, he naturally received a very good and very high evaluation.
'As for this one...'
'After adding green pepper, the taste has become much more mature. Are you the daughter of the Dart player just now? Not bad, not bad. It seems that he has really inherited some skills. Although there are a few flaws, it is still amazing to have such skills at such a young age. '
The second one is Uncle Dart's daughter Lin. She also received a relatively good evaluation, but judging from the fact that gourmets can tell at a glance that her cooking skills are in the same line as Uncle Dart, she is definitely not as good as Uncle Dart's.
'ah! '
'This one is really special. Although it is relatively light, the aroma is very strong. The lamb chops are fried very delicately. There is no mutton smell at all, it is not greasy, and the taste is very refreshing. It is really great! ! '
Immediately afterwards, Annie saw that the third contestant, the weaker Aunt Lilia, also received very good reviews for her fried lamb chops, even slightly higher than Uncle Dart?
'This is……'
'Aha! '
'I ate it. The juice of three kinds of vegetables and a little milk were added to the thick soup. It was quite smooth. Although it had a little bitter taste, it was still very delicious overall! '
Unfortunately, the soup made by the fourth contestant, Aunt Mana, seemed to have a slight flaw, so Annie heard that the loud-mouthed gourmet did not give the other party a good evaluation?
'! ! '
'this……'
'What kind of strange smell is this...ah...ah! Sorry, this dish is so weird that I don’t even know how to rate it. '
When the fat gourmet with big ears and a big mouth finished commenting on the dark dish that Miss Kallen overturned, spit out the food in his mouth, and immediately ran away from Miss Kallen, finally, Finally it was the turn of Anne, the last one who had the guts to compete, to cook her own food.
"Is this roast chicken?"
"It smells delicious and looks pretty good, but I'd better try it first..."
Standing in front of Annie's cooking table, holding the monocular on her right eye and studying the roasted chicken for a while, the gourmet was not in a hurry to draw conclusions easily, but directly pulled off a chicken wing, and then looked at it. Take a bite of the tenderest meat.
"!!"
"Hmm..."
"I ate it. Although I didn't add salt or any other seasonings, I controlled the heat very well... Well... this roasted chicken is fat but not greasy, fragrant but not burnt, and the chicken is delicious. It's so fragrant and tender. When you put it in your mouth, it's filled with the most original umami flavor. It must have just been washed with hot spring water, right?
"It's amazing. I have never eaten such delicious chicken. This is far ahead of other contestants just from the selection of ingredients..."
"Little guy, what's the name of this dish?"
The foodie who originally thought that a little girl’s cooking must be average, was unexpectedly surprised in the end!
So, while asking the little girl the name of the dish, he thought for a moment and made an exception, reaching out and pulling off the wings and legs of the chicken wing he just pulled off.
“It’s the BBQ Champion Chicken!!”
(????-)?
She was not the first to eat the food she cooked. That kind of thing had already made Anne a little angry. So, while answering, Anne also extended her hand in a rude manner, saying that she would go first. Pulling off the largest back thigh and holding it to avoid being snatched away by others later and causing you to not even eat it?
"Champion Roast Chicken?"
"Hmm... Not bad, not bad! He is indeed worthy of the name 'Champion'!"
"So……"
"Now that the tasting is over, it's time for me to announce the name of the winner of this food festival competition!"
"The winner is..."
Soon, when Annie unexpectedly defeated Uncle Dart, who was originally thought to be a sure winner, and Aunt Lilia, who felt a little regretful, and won the final victory, the Food Festival in Ore Town finally officially began!
People gathered in front of the chefs with all kinds of tableware and began to share the food that others had brought to the food festival. They quickly started eating, turning the Rose Square in Ore Town into an open-air and lively place. buffet party.
"Hey! Wait!"
ε?(????)?з
"Mayor Thomas, I have won now, but where is the prize? Did you forget something?!"
?(ψ????)o
While others were busy eating, Annie was gnawing on her chicken thighs while rushing to a certain bad-nosed townie who was also eating and asked sternly.
"??"
"What prize? What are you talking about?"
Thomas, who was grabbed by the little girl's oily hands by the hem of his dress, felt sorry for his own clothes and at the same time asked some inexplicable questions.
"Of course it's the prize for winning the food festival. If you're in first place, isn't there a reward just like horse racing?"
(?╭╮?)
"ah?"
"Who told you it's the same as horse racing?"
When he heard that the other party was grabbing him, Mayor Thomas was a little bit dumbfounded when he broke away from the other party's hand that was grabbing his clothes and asked.
"!!"
!? (?''??)?
"Then what you mean is that there will be no prizes in today's competition?!"
=????(???*)
Anne suddenly felt a little disappointed, because she felt that she had made some mistakes?
If she had known this was the case, she would not have brought such a good roast chicken at all! She could just eat up the champion roast chicken for one person at home, and then bring some other things to make up for it, such as grilled fish or something, and then just go eat and drink by herself?
"Of course not!"
"Because the food festival cooking festival is just for everyone to share food and celebrate the festival, and also to judge who can make the most delicious food. Are there any prizes?"
"Of course it's not impossible!"
"The title of the strongest chef in Ore Town is the best reward?"
Shaking his head, Thomas didn't know what to say when he looked at the little girl in front of him who was as shocked as if she was petrified by his words.
"alright!"
"Annie, go get something to eat quickly. You can eat here all day long. I heard from Lin and Dart that this little guy like you is very good at eating?"
"So, go quickly..."
After explaining, Mayor Thomas patted the oily marks on the corner of his clothes that were caught by the other party. After feeling distressed for several seconds, he straightened his equally fat figure and filled his mouth with those in the distance. The long table of various foods walked away.
"..."
(；′⌒`)
"How could it be like that? If I had known that there would be no reward, I would have eaten all the chicken by myself and wouldn't have brought any!"
?°(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?
Anne began to regret it...
She had roasted the championship roast chicken slowly over low fire all night, but she only ate one thigh... Looking at the many people surrounding the long table, she knew that the chicken was probably only There was only enough for each of those people, and there would definitely be none when she went back later.
but……
At this time, not everyone gathered around the long table of Champion Roast Chicken. For example, the Purbury family, the three of them seemed to have no idea of eating chicken at all?
'? ? '
'Hello! Purbury, that champion chicken Annie roasted was delicious. Why don't you go and eat some? The portion is not much. I was lucky enough to get only one chicken wing. It was so delicious! '
'No! Lin, I will never eat it, thank you! '
'? ? '
'Don't eat? Come on, let me give you a bite to try? It’s not your chicken anyway, so why are you so resistant? '
With that said, Lin, who was holding a half-eaten chicken wing in her hand, directly put the delicious food in her hand to Popley's mouth, indicating that he could have a taste.
'No! Lin! I won't eat it, please put it away! '
Purbury quickly took a big step back and almost spilled the contents of the dinner plate on the floor.
'? ? '
'Strange, Purbury, why are you doing this? '
'No reason! '
'I always feel that you are acting strange today...'
'I don't! I just don't like eating that champion chicken, really! '
'But it's not your chicken, why can't you eat it...'
'! ! '
'How do you know it's not mine? '
'Because Anne said that she bought it and spent a lot of money! '
'you! ! '
'What's wrong? '
'No! I'm fine...'
However, Lin didn't know that the chicken was indeed raised by the Purbury family, and it was a champion chicken that had been raised for several years. It had feelings! So, how can they, a family member who knows the cause of the matter and the source of the food, talk about it?
'Really...'
'Well, Popley, I'm going to find something else to eat first! Will I come back later to chat with you slowly? '
Lin didn't know the source of the ingredients for a certain naughty little girl's cooking, but she just vaguely felt that Popley was a little weird today... However, with the current food scene, there were so many delicious things, and she had no time to pay attention to him. What did he think? He just said hello and hurriedly walked towards the dining tables around him, intending to fill his belly first.
'! ! '
'Annie! This piece of twice-cooked pork was the first thing I saw! '
Soon, the last piece of twice-cooked pork on a dinner plate was snatched away by a little girl before Lin was about to pick it up, which made her exclaim.
"But……"
(??ω??)
"It doesn't matter if you saw it first, they got it first!"
?(ψ｀▽′)o ?
After getting the food in her hands, and it was delicious, how could Annie return it?
'you! ! '
'Give it back to me quickly. That's another dish made by Aunt Lilia. I didn't grab the fried lamb chops. You have to give this to me! '
Feeling angry, Lin pounced on her, seemingly intending to bully the weak and snatch the food back from the hands of some bad little girl?
"Never!"
chew! o(′～｀)o =3 =3 =3
As she turned around and ran away, Annie threw the piece of meat into her mouth.
'don't want! ! '
'Spit it out, you bastard! ! ! '
Lin was so frightened that she rushed forward, planning to open a little girl's mouth and snatch the meat out of her mouth?
"I've swallowed it, I can't spit it out!!"
(,,?????,,)
'stop! Don't run! '
Lin was so angry that she ignored the fact that this was a food festival and waved the fork in her hand towards Annie.
"Wow!!"
-=????=????(′Д`)?
'! ! '
'hateful! Anne! Lin! What are you doing? '
'ah! This is my new dress! ! '
'Stop! ! '
'quick! Stop them! ! '
'ah! So hot! '
'...'
'Little Annie! My soup! ! ! '
'stop! ! ! '
Soon, the Rose Square, which was originally bustling but in good order, was turned into a mess by Lin who was fighting left and right and little Annie who was running around, causing the entire venue to become chaotic in an instant! Then, due to various reasons, more people had to join in the fun of chasing and playing with each other...
(…)
??????: Ouch~?!
(At this time, a certain Wang Tibus, who was already ready to go, finally caught the opportunity. Taking advantage of the chaos among the people in Rose Square, it jumped onto a long table, and then held a fat and fat fish in its mouth. The big elbow got into the grass of the flower bed in the distance.)
