It has to be said that the existence of this snake car greatly exceeded Yin Lian's expectations. Even Yin Lian, who considered herself relatively calm, was shocked when she saw the giant python.
Wika had already put her head around to look for an empty carriage. When she saw Yin Lian standing behind her in a daze, she immediately turned around and shouted: "Sister Lian! Come on, come on! There is an empty carriage here."
Yin Lian looked at the snake. Generally speaking, the giant python looks a little different from the snakes Yin Lian has seen on Earth. The head is a bit rounder and the body is relatively fatter. It looks more like a three-dimensional Q version. It's not very scary.
However, no matter how cute his appearance is, he is still a bit powerful and domineering when paired with his body type.
Yin Lian walked over with some hesitation and asked Wika: "Is it really not going to throw us off halfway?"
After hearing this, Wika blinked her big eyes, then reached out and grabbed Yin Lian's arm and pulled her to the car, saying at the same time: "Don't worry, don't worry! Eminem is very well-behaved, and all the Eminems chosen to drive are After training, you can swim quickly and steadily, so there is no need to worry.”
Although Yin Lian was worried, since so many people were on the bus, she had no reason to object strongly.
The carriages on this snake car are also segmented like the train, probably to facilitate steering. Because the carriage was mounted on the python, the bottom compartment was a bit high, but the steps on both sides only extended to Yin Lian's waist, which was almost as high as Wika's chest.
But since snake carts are used, locals naturally have their own solutions to such situations. I saw Wika walking to the side of the carriage, reaching out to grab the handle on the side and flipping it over. The upper level of the step pedal flipped over directly, hanging two chains and fell to the ground, forming a complete step.
After Vic pulled Yin Lian up, she stretched out her hand to pull up the chain, re-locked the armrests into the grooves on both sides, and then closed the sliding door, turning the small compartment into a small, safe and enclosed space.
Except for the difference in space size and transportation method, this snake car really feels a bit like a small train.
The snake car drove much faster and more smoothly than Yin Lian had expected. Even on undulating roads, there were almost no violent bumps. Occasionally, when it was necessary to go up or downhill, the direction changes were gentle and smooth, giving a wonderful sense of comfort. feel.
In this case, it was impossible for Yin Lian to play mobile games, so he chatted with Wika.
"In the chef competition of the food festival, as long as you win the main prize once, you will have the opportunity to study as an intern at the culinary institute for a month. I have never won a main prize before, only the secondary prize in seasoning. But I have been working hard on controlling the heat, and I am very confident that I can win a real prize this time.”
Based on Wika's popular science, Yin Lian also roughly understood the difference between the main award and the secondary award. The main prize is awarded to an excellent dish, while the sub-prize is awarded to works that are delicious but have flaws in some detail of the production process.
"Our competition only requires cooking well, but the adults' competition is much more difficult. It is generally evaluated from three aspects: creativity, technology and popularity. Especially the annual King City Competition, every time There will be several new dishes that are popular across the country... It would be great if I could create new dishes like that in the future."
Yin Lian looked at Wika's longing look and couldn't help but smile and said to her, "Yes! Wika can definitely do it."
"Yeah!" Wika received Yin Lian's recognition and suddenly showed a big smile.
Then the two got out of the car.
"Speaking of which, Wika, what's in your box?"
Wika brought a small wooden box with her when she went out. Yin Lian didn't look like a wallet or a small suitcase, so it was a bit strange.
Wika was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Sister Lian, you really don't know a lot of common sense. Mine is a seasoning box, and everyone will bring it when participating in competitions."
Yin Lian was a little surprised: "During the competition, won't the organizer of the venue prepare condiments?"
Weika had become accustomed to Yin Lian's ignorance of some common sense, and said with a smile: "You have to prepare your own seasonings for competitions in town. After all, seasonings are so expensive, and you don't know how everyone cooks." What kind of seasonings should be used? It is too time-consuming to prepare. If it is a competition between several main cities and the royal city, the person who organizes the competition will prepare most of the common seasonings, but because many dishes are It needs to be equipped with homemade or even exclusive sauces or condiments, so most people still bring a condiment box.”
"Seasonings...are they expensive?"
"Well...it may not be a big deal to my sister, but it is very expensive for our family. Salt and seafood powder are okay, one silver coin (about 300 yuan per catty, most people can still afford it. But Like other spices, they often cost five or ten silver coins, and many bottles cost fifty coppers, which I usually can’t bear to use.”
Yin Lian finally understood.
Although the dishes I had at Dana's before were delicious, surprisingly few spices were used. Yin Lian thought it was because they were pursuing the original flavor of the ingredients, but she didn't expect that it was because the spices in this world were very rare. Expensive relationships.
Yin Lian couldn't help but ask about the specific price of Wika. Some of the names of spices can be distinguished by their specific characteristics from their pronunciation characteristics, and can then be matched with familiar flora and fauna spices, while others are difficult to literally match up with the spices they know.
At this time, Yin Lian tried his best to ask Wika about the characteristics of the seasonings themselves to deduce their true identity.
Of course, there were indeed some spices among which Yin Lian could not deduce the specific situation at all. She judged that they might be spices that she had never seen before or spices that did not exist in the original world, and then silently wrote down the names and descriptions.
The chef competition of the food festival will last for about a week, and Mrs. Dana has already reserved a residence for the two of them, which is the home of a good friend of hers. The owner of this family is named Moore. There is only one son in the family named Wenxi, who is two years older than Wika. He and she are childhood sweethearts. It is said that he will also participate in this competition.
Mrs. Moore was very surprised when she opened the door and came out, because Yin Lian was so beautiful. Although she heard that the noble lady staying at Mrs. Dana's house would also come, she didn't expect it to be a girl with such an outstanding appearance, and she suddenly became a little nervous.
Yin Lian took the initiative to say hello to the other party in her local language with a slight earth accent.
Her accent wasn't too severe, but it was still a little unusual. Mrs. Moore immediately thought that Yin Lian was a foreigner, but she finally recovered a little and took the initiative to welcome Yin Lian in.
However, Mrs. Moore was very enthusiastic about Wika. She reached out and hugged her, and asked: "The competition is about to begin, are you nervous?"
Wika said: "I'm a little nervous, but I think I can do it."
Mrs. Moore burst into laughter.
Not long after that, Mrs. Moore's husband and son also came back, shouting "I'm back" and rushed into the house. However, the boy's voice seemed to be cut off suddenly, and he faced Yin Lian. Face flushed.
Mrs. Moore had always thought that Yin Lian was a noble lady. Although it was understandable, she was very helpless about Wenxi's reaction. She thought for a while and then said to Yin Lian and Wika: "The room is ready, and the sheets have been changed. You go and settle in. If you feel tired after that, take a rest. If you are not tired, let Wen I’ll take you out for a while. It’s a food festival now, and there are delicious food everywhere, and there are also many unique tricks. When you register at the venue, you can walk around the market and try various snacks.”
Wika then raised her hands and said excitedly: "I'm not tired!"
Then Mrs. Moore looked at Yin Lian with a questioning expression.
Yin Lian smiled and said, "I'm not tired either."
Because both of them had this attitude, Mrs. Moore accompanied them to settle down and asked her son to take them to the market.
After arriving at the market, Yin Lian truly felt the rich variety of food in this world.
On the way, she saw various kinds of food being sold on stalls. She felt that they were similar to Earth's food, but also different... If I had to say it, some of the food was like an upgraded version of Earth's food.
For example, it's a bit like a crystal sugar ball that's an upgraded version of sugar painting. This thing uses a mold to make an orange-sized ball with a translucent sugar layer, and then pours syrup through a thin tube to let it flow inside to form a pattern. It is very technical, but the final product is extremely stunning. There are other foods such as meatballs, soups, porridge, pasta, and hot and cold dishes. Some of them look very exquisite in appearance, while others, although they look similar to earthly foods, are of a level that can only be found in top restaurants. .
For example, although this meatball looks like an ordinary meatball, when you take a bite, you will find that the meatball not only tastes extremely chewy, but also has finely chopped but well-defined meatballs inside, creating a texture similar to high-quality ham or beef. .
Of course, the price is also very expensive.
The meatballs at the stall are sold in groups of four, and each group costs twenty copper coins, which is equivalent to a group of five copper coins. However, when Yin Lian knew the prices of condiments in this world, she had already somewhat anticipated this situation, so she was not too surprised.
The only problem right now is probably... Yin Lian has no money.
Yin Lian then asked: "Is there a place nearby where I can sell things or exchange jewelry for money?"
Wimsey was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "...Yes, yes."
Yin Lian asked, "Can you take me there?"
As a result, Wimsey and Wika looked at each other before saying, "But the people at the pawn shop are quite bad. Sister, if you go there to sell jewelry, they will definitely find ways to defraud you."
Yin Lian was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is that so? Have you been there?"
Wika shook her head and said: "Although I have never been there, everyone says so. My mother said that the boss over there can cheat people, and also secretly raises thugs. If someone finds out that he has a treasure at home, he will not Sell it to him at a low price, and even steal other people's things secretly..."
After hearing this, Yin Lian thought for a while and then said: "Then it's better not to go to the pawn shop. Well... In that case, do you know that there is a shop that is quite rich but has a good reputation?"
After hearing this, Wika frowned and thought for a while, then looked at Wenxi. Wimsey also thought about it, and then said: "If I have to say... it would be the new store opened by the countess. The countess is a very nice person, and her family is also very rich."
After hearing this, Yin Lian said, "Then let's go there!"
"But!" Wei pulled Yin Lian's sleeve and said, "Sister Lian! Since Lord Earl
The author has something to say: After Miss Boman passed away, because Miss Boman refused to marry the eagle leader, Earl Homon, Earl Homon had ordered that no one should go to Miss Boman's store to buy anything! "
