"Niya, the Shifeng Restaurant is in front, I saw the sign!"
"Well, I saw it too, let's go over there now!"
After saying that, Niya took Xia Duo's hand again and wanted to run over quickly. Xia Duo smiled and secretly used an acceleration spell. Of course, this could not be hidden from Niya, but Niya did not reveal it. Quan took it as a secret. The little romance between husband and wife.
…
"We have two guests——"
The dwarf waiter, who only reached Sha Duo's waist and was supported by his propped-up hair, immediately lit up his eyes when he saw Sha Duo and Niya running towards him. He spoke in a long and drawn-out tone in poor Elvish language and shouted towards the restaurant. call.
The other side did not forget to enthusiastically guide Xia Duo and Niya into the restaurant, and at the same time introduced the restaurant's special delicacies to them in a chatty manner:
"I told you two guests, you must try the charcoal-grilled bullfrog here when you come to our Stone Wind Restaurant. Even the elves in the Uptown District said it is a good idea! There is also earthy pumpkin soup, which is a unique flavor of the Underdark and a combination of surface foods. Perfect blend, it’s just a pity those long ears can’t stand the smell!”
Speaking of this, the dwarf waiter suddenly covered his mouth subconsciously, glanced up at Xia Duo, and continued after seeing that Xia Duo had no reaction:
"We also have the most famous platter of oriental delicacies in our store. It is said that the great King Yin Lisel came here to taste it many times while hiding his identity! Customers who have tried it say yes! Guests, do you want a piece?"
Xia Duo and Niya looked at each other in confusion. From each other's eyes, they both saw what the other was thinking. In fact, the food was secondary. The most important thing was that it was the first time for the two of them to see such a eloquent dwarf.
This is really inconsistent with the image of the taciturn dwarf that the two of them had.
However, the two of them did not form a stereotype and thought that all dwarves must be like that. It was actually quite interesting and good to see such a unique dwarf at the moment.
In the end, amid the chattering sales pitch of the dwarf waiter, Niya chose a seat in the corner but facing the street, pulled Shado to sit down, and then told the strange dwarf what she wanted:
"Serve all the dishes you just mentioned and let the chef cook them carefully. Don't mess with us!"
Upon hearing this, the dwarf immediately straightened up and said loudly: "You two are from out of town, right? In the Andalit community, who doesn't know the reputation of our Shifeng restaurant? Guests, you can rest assured, we guarantee that you will be satisfied !”
After saying that, he kept his posture with his hands on his hips for two seconds, then turned around and ran towards the kitchen with a puff of smoke.
Niya was stunned, "Xia Duo, this -"
"Let's take a look first. If you can write the roll call at the entrance of the underground city, you must have some real skills!"
Whether it's cooking skills or financial resources, Xia Duo added in his mind, and then began to carefully look at this exotic restaurant.
But after looking around, he couldn't help but shake his head. It did look like it had a lot of exotic features, perhaps the oriental features they claimed, but in the eyes of those who really knew the business, there were too many flaws to count.
The store is filled with a large number of elf features that have been deliberately deformed and adjusted. Even an expert may not be able to spot one or two, but with such a concentration, even a fool can spot something wrong.
Perhaps it was in response to Xia Duo's previous judgment - the Orientals who had traveled through the main plane had already been assimilated by the elves, and the only Oriental characteristics they could retain in the end may be the title "Oriental".
Soon, the seven or eight dishes that Niya ordered were delivered one after another, and the store also included a bottle of mint cider, which is said to be very rare in the uptown area.
After opening it, Xia Duo smelled a faint fragrance, mixed with mint, apple grass and several other unique smells that could not be distinguished.
Although there are many types, they do not feel awkward at all. Instead, they blend with each other, giving people a different kind of harmony and pleasure.
This made Xia Duo somewhat surprised. To be honest, this wine was far from the best among elven wines, but it was still much better than the fruit wine brewed by the Tower of Time.
Should we say that it really deserves to be the capital of Cormanthor, or should we say that the brewing process of the Tower of Time is really too poor?
Xia Duo's incarnation lacked perception, while Niya's ectoplasmic projection incarnation had complete perception. After tasting the complimentary fruit wine, her eyes shone with joy!
And this also makes them look forward to the dishes in the store even more.
“I’ll try this big platter first!”
With that said, Niya started to take action, skillfully using her tachyon to pick up a piece of pink pastry from the large plate in the center of the dining table and put it into her mouth.
The so-called "Oriental delicacies platter" mainly consists of pasta and pastries. Seeing that Niya was already taking action, Xia Duo picked up a piece of pale yellow pastry with a hint of pickiness.
But after tasting it, he didn't know if it was a defect in his avatar's perception or if there was something really wrong with the pastry. He felt like he was eating a piece of colloid that had no taste at all.
After thinking about it, he took another piece. The feeling was different from before, but it still had no taste. Finally, he had to ask Niya:
"Niya, what do you think?"
Niya hesitated for a moment and then said, "Are you going to tell the truth?"
"..."
Xia Duo was speechless for a moment, but he also realized something and said angrily: "Of course I have to tell the truth. We are husband and wife, so we don't have so many scruples."
"Then I'll tell you the truth, it's better than the territorial chef Cook~"
After Niya finished speaking, she took another piece of red pastry and put it into her mouth, and then said coquettishly: "I think this pastry method can be introduced into the territory."
"Okay, I'll try and talk to the owner."
Next, there was the charcoal-grilled bullfrog. Xia Duo put down the tachyon after only one taste. Perhaps it was a problem with the incarnation, as he still couldn't taste anything, but there was still no problem with the taste.
Niya, on the other hand, stopped moving after just one taste. When Xia Duo asked, she replied: "It's the first time I know that this kind of creature can be eaten. The taste is weird, and the taste is not outstanding. Compared to I prefer warp beast meat over this."
"Yes, me too."
Warp beast meat is the only kind of meat that Xia Duo has eaten that is very delicious even when eaten raw, and no matter which cooking method is used, it will not be too bad.
"Don't try this earthy pumpkin soup. It's probably the dark cuisine of the dwarves. There are indeed stones from the Underdark in it!"
Xia Duo used tachyon to stir the bright yellow pumpkin soup twice, then took out a dark red stone in front of Niya and threw it on the table with a dull collision sound.
Even though she saw the stones in the soup with her own eyes, and they were radioactive stones from the Underdark, Niya was still eager to try them, perhaps because she was not too disappointed with the previous dishes.
Seeing this, Xia Duo also took a spoon, but unlike Niya, he only scooped up a little bit and licked it with his tongue. Suddenly a slight numbing feeling spread throughout his body.
As for the taste, it still doesn't exist.
So he waited to see Niya get into trouble, but Niya didn't seem to feel the slight numbness that spread throughout her body at all, even after drinking a large spoonful.
"What does it smell like?"
"It's sweet, but not just sweet, it also has a very unique taste, as if the sweetness of the pumpkin itself has penetrated into the soul. I think if I can't taste it again in a hundred years, then what will happen in a hundred years? I can still recall the taste now!”
Penetrating into the soul, what kind of nuclear sweet soup is this!
Xia Duo couldn't help but feel worried, "Don't drink these soups for now. Let me take them back and check them carefully to make sure they are harmless before giving them to you."
"Fine!"
Although Niya was a little disappointed, she couldn't help but feel a little wary of the smell that penetrated her soul.
