"Have you decided what to choose?"
Everyone was walking on the street of the market, and Claire was the first to ask.
"I definitely choose the weapons faction, what about you?" Hongyan said
"I choose the boxing school. The combination of boxing and Salomanda's Explosive Flame Fist will definitely be very effective!" Courage said.
"I choose the qigong school, and I feel that qigong has greatly improved me!" Xiaoguang said
"I'm debating whether to choose the Boxing School or the Weapon School... Since Thor's full resonance, part of Thor's power lies in Thor's hammer. Should I go to the Weapon School to play with hammers, or should I go to the Boxing School like Courage..." Claire Thinking and saying
"Everyone has witnessed your battle. Your Thor does not rely on weapons to fight like Hongyan's Hongying, so I still recommend that you either fight from the boxing school or the qigong school," said Courage
"Courage is right, you don't just fight with weapons, so the other two schools are more suitable for you!" Hongyan said
"That's it...then I will choose the boxing school like Courage!" Claire said
"What about the first year of junior high school? Have you decided on which school to choose?" Hongyan asked
"Me? I'm still considering the Qigong sect or the weapons sect!" Chu Yi said
"Why these two?" Courage asked
"Because these two are handsome!" Chu Yi said
"Forehead……"
"Please be serious!" Hongyan said loudly
"Okay, okay...it's still early anyway! Let's go eat the delicious food here!" Chu Yi said
"Okay! I happen to be hungry too!" Claire said
"Then let's go!"
"oh!"
Several people walked into a small store. The store was not big, but they could smell the aroma of food at the door.
"Hello, handsome hotpot Milu! Welcome! Sit inside!"
This is a store where the seating area and kitchen are integrated into one. Because the store is not large, this design not only makes the decoration style simple and elegant, but also allows customers to see the chef cooking process, ensuring hygiene and safety. The person who received a few people was a young lady. She was sitting with the ramen ordered by other customers while saying hello to the first-year students who had just entered the door.
"Are you the only one busy in the store?" Hongyan asked curiously
"That's right! Dad is out delivering food. Sit down and see what you're going to eat. There are menu cards on the table!" said the young lady.
"What a unique style..." Chu Yi said
After a few people sat down, they started to pick up the menu cards and read them.
"Coffin...coffin board!?" Claire looked at one of the signs on the menu, the food called coffin board, and said in surprise
"Is this really a restaurant..." Courage asked with a dark face.
"Young man, you don't understand! This coffin board is a specialty of our place!" the old uncle next to Claire introduced while eating noodles.
"Really...really...don't lie to me, old man!" Claire said
"Why did I lie to you? It's true. If you don't believe it, forget it!" The old uncle continued to eat his noodles.
"Uh...Okay, boss! I want a coffin board!" Claire said
"okay!"
"This sounds weird..." A few people in the first grade of junior high school complained.
"Are you there? What do you want to eat?" The young lady took a pen and paper to write down the menus for several people.
"Well...I want a sweet and spicy one!" Courage said
"I'd like an oyster omelette, thank you!" Xiaoguang said
"I'll have a large intestine wrapped in small intestine! It sounds awesome!" Chu Yi said
"I'll have some Changhua meatballs!" Hongyan said
"Okay! Wait a moment!"
The young lady turned her head and started cooking, while several people watched her smooth operation with relish.
"This small shop has a history of more than 20 years, and the taste is the most authentic around here!" the old uncle said to several people.
"It's been more than 20 years?" Hongyan said in surprise
"Hey, this store was opened by my father when he was young! My mother went there early, and my father is not in good health, so I usually come to help him when I have time!" said the young lady!
"Yeah...it's great that your father has you!" Hongyan said
"hey-hey……"
"Gao Ting, I'm back!" While a few people were chatting, a plainclothes man walked in carrying a large box.
"Abba! You came back just in time. Come and help me. There are a lot of guests," the young lady said.
"Oh...oh, here it comes."
"He is your father? He is quite tall!" Hongyan said with a smile.
"Abba is the most famous chef in the neighborhood!" Gao Ting said
"Okay, okay, that's all in the past. You go and serve them some cups of tea. I'll do it here." The man said to Gao Ting while changing into kitchen clothes.
"good!"
"Here comes the tea!"
After a while, Gao Ting handed several cups of rice-scented tea to several people.
"What a unique taste! Is this actually tea?" Hongyan asked
"Well, this is called rice tea. Dad said that after drinking rice tea, your meals will taste better!" Gao Ting said
"Haha! That was just a lie I told to tease you when I was a kid!" the man who was cooking laughed.
"Well - can't you just say it? You don't give me any face in front of the guests!" Gao Ting said angrily.
"Hahaha!"
While chatting, the man served the steaming dishes in front of several people.
"Is this... the coffin board?" Claire asked, looking at a square piece of bread in front of her.
"Guess why it's called a coffin board?" Gao Ting said.
"Uh...oh! I understand!" Claire moved the top of the bread with chopsticks, and it was indeed movable. He opened the top layer, and the bread was actually filled with batter-like white ingredients.
"You can actually do this in bread?" Claire asked in surprise.
"Haha, of course! Come and try it!" Gao Ting said
"Then I want to eat it!" Claire picked up the spoon, took a spoonful and put it into his mouth. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. He couldn't believe that this strange-looking food was so delicious.
"How's it going Claire? Is it delicious?" Chu Yi asked
"It's delicious! It tastes like milk, and there are chicken, potatoes, and shrimps in it. It's so delicious!" Claire said
"Yeah, that's great!"
"Is this the same as the tempura in my hometown? In this way, is it sweet or spicy...Tempura (Tempura)...the pronunciation seems not bad," Courage said while tasting the fried prawns. The prawns are as big as the palm of your hand.
"Are you from the Japan-Lai Empire?" the man asked
"Yes! My hometown is in Jilai," said Courage
"That's right! Although it's made the same as tempura, ours has secret dipping sauce!" The man said, pointing to some red dipping sauce on the corner of the plate in front of Courage.
"Oh! I didn't even notice! Let me try..." Courage dipped some sauce and tried it again. It was indeed more delicious than the ones he had eaten in Rilai.
"It's sweet and spicy! It's delicious!" Courage said
"This is delicious too!" Xiaoguang was eating a flatbread made with eggs and oysters. Although it didn't look very good, it tasted unique.
"This one looks like a hot dog, but the thing underneath is not bread!" Chu Yi said, holding a big bun that looked like a hot dog.
"That one is called glutinous rice intestine. That's why it's called large intestine wrapped in small intestine!" Gao Ting said.
"This is not bad! It's soft and glutinous! There's so much stuff inside!" Hongyan said while eating a ball-shaped food that looked like glutinous rice balls.
"Are you all from other places?" the man asked
"Well, we are from the mainland!" Hongyan said
"Mainland? That's really rare. We rarely see outsiders coming here!" Gao Ting said.
"Really? I thought it was all a joke!"
Everyone chatted happily, Gao Ting explained all aspects of Xu Zu District to everyone, and several people also told her about the wonderful things in the mainland.
"Ah? Demon hunter? I've never heard of that! Are you all?" Gao Ting asked excitedly
"Yes, we are both from the same college, and we are also the head teacher, haha!" Hongyan said
"You don't have a demon hunter here. If you encounter a demon or something, who will deal with it?" Courage asked.
"Devil...you mean monsters, right? These?" Gao Ting opened her phone and opened the picture and showed it to everyone. The picture showed high-level filth.
"Yes, there are monsters like this. Who among you will deal with them?" Courage asked.
"We are all handled by people from the three major sects, especially people from the Qigong sect! They are so good at stir-frying! They summoned a big tiger at once, and a big snake at the next, and the monsters were eliminated in two or three times!" Gao Ting said
"The Qigong sect is so strong... no wonder there was so much pressure when entering their temple..." Courage whispered.
"Anyway, the people from the three sects are very powerful! I also want to enter and practice there in the future!" Gao Ting said.
"You went to my store, who can help me?" the man asked.
"Hahaha!"
Everyone was talking and laughing, but at this moment, the store door was suddenly violently kicked open, and a group of men in black clothes broke in. One of the green-haired guys ignored everyone and walked up to the man in the kitchen.
"Hey! Gao Hao, I remember today is the payment day for the protection fee, right? Where's the money?" Lu Mao asked in a commanding tone.
"I got it! Go away, don't scare my customers!" The man said to Lu Mao while taking money from the cash register.
"Hurry up! You're taking your time, it's a waste of our time!" Lu Mao was dragging him to death, which made Hongyan on the side couldn't stand it anymore. He stood up, grabbed Lu Mao and suppressed it to the ground. The younger brothers, who were so imposing at first, were too frightened to move.
"Hey! What are you doing in other people's stores? Collecting protection fees? Are you legal?" Hongyan asked Lu Mao
"Uh... I advise you to let me go quickly! Otherwise, don't blame me for going back and reporting to the organization. You will feel better then!" Lu Mao said.
"Are you very tough? See if I don't teach you a lesson!"
Just when Hongyan was about to teach Lu Mao a lesson, Gao Hao suddenly walked out. He pulled Hong Yan away, handed the money to Lu Mao, and urged Lu Mao and the others to leave.
"I've given you the money. Let's go quickly. They are foreigners and don't understand the rules," Gao Hao said.
"Tsk... What bad luck, you woman, just wait for me!" After Lu Mao finished speaking, he led his younger brothers away, while Hong Yan started to ask about the reason with a puzzled look on his face.
"They are not formal at first glance, right? Why do you let them do this?" Hongyan asked
"Hey...it's a long story..."
