On the Nine in autumn, the "Harvest Festival" held in Rose Square in Ore Town is also called the Harvest Festival. It is a festival that residents of Ore Town attach great importance to in the year. It is a certain alternative ceremony for people to celebrate the harvest, pray for good weather and share joy in the coming year.
So, just ten o'clock in the morning, many residents of the ore town came here spontaneously with what they thought was delicious, preparing to throw the things they brought into the middle of the square, which was burning with several stove doors and a large amount of wood, and was burning it with a large fire. It looked very huge and like an iron pot smelting blast furnace.
At this time, there were already a lot of things inside, and when Anne came here calmly, it seemed that the tall and large pot had been cooking for a while.
'quick!'
'People who bring the goods, don't rush to chat first, come to me first... Hand me what you brought, Zach and I will help you check and put it in. This step must be done earlier. If you want to eat this year's delicious "harvest festival" dishes soon?"
‘Hurry up, come here to line up!’
‘Oh! Little Anne!’
‘Don’t hide, I saw you… Not bad, you actually brought a whole basket of things. You deserve to be the rancher of the largest ranch in our ore town. I did not misread the person at the beginning!’
'But you should come here first to queue up. Remember not to go to the line, and don't rush to talk. There will be time to talk to you later. We will celebrate here all day!'
On the very huge iron pot like an iron smelting blast furnace, the mayor of the ore town, the bad old man Thomas, was standing under the ladder and taking something that everyone had lined up to hand him. Then he checked it and handed it to Zach, a shipper who was lying on the wooden ladder. The strong man, who was sweating but still laughing like a big boy, threw the things that everyone brought directly into the boiler-like pot for stewing.
That’s right, it’s a pot of stew like hot pot. This is the essence of the “Harvest Festival” inherited cuisine in Ore Town!
‘You? Are you here with grandma?’
‘Good, let me see what you brought... a few fresh wild mushrooms? Not bad, really good, I received the ingredients from your house. Let’s go and sit there with your grandma and wait. It’s very hot and the boiler is very hot. Be careful not to hurt you!’
‘Go away quickly, children are not allowed to stay here!’
‘Manna…’
'Are you sure you want to put a whole bottle of wine in? It's a pity that such a good thing is, why not exchange it with you with a cabbage... OK OK, don't be angry, can't I put it in?"
'ah!'
‘It’s Gotz…you can save the bamboo shoots from spring until now, and they look quite fresh. Are you sure…it can still be eaten?’
‘Okay, then put it in…’
‘!?’
‘Plum! The red grass really can’t be put in. Sorry, this one is really not good. It is slightly poisonous. Eating it directly will make people feel tired. You might as well take it to Uncle Zach another day. He will definitely give you some pocket money...’
‘Ah! Cheese is OK, but red grass is really not OK. Take this back to your grandpa or Uncle Zach. Be good, it is absolutely right to listen to Grandpa Thomas!’
‘Lin, Karen and Porbley, why are you all eggplant this year?’
‘Wait, what's going on with your face? Why is it swollen? Oh my God, why is your beautiful little mouth swollen like a sausage?!’
'Well……'
‘Okay, I won’t ask, right? Next…’
‘Cliff, is yours the rabbit you caught? Well, since you have done it, then put it in.’
‘??’
‘Grey! What are you holding in your hand? The sand worm you dug today? Has the sand inside been processed? Has it been processed? Then... then put it in. Although it always feels a bit strange when you put this kind of bug in...’
‘Hmm?’
‘Ally, this chocolate powder isn’t that good, right?’
‘Wait! Mary, what are you taking? Let me see...Blue grass? This one is OK, it tastes good…’
‘Harris, did you go fishing today? Well, put it in after the internal organs are processed!’
'Hello!!'
‘Bakir…Don’t put plants I don’t know, I know you are a botanist. Even if you say it can be eaten, as long as it is something I don’t know, it won’t work!’
‘…’
‘Oh ~!’
'Little Annie, it's time for me to see what's in your basket? Well... it seems that they are all crops produced in the ranch, so many? If they are all crops, then it should be fine. Forget it, since you have let the dwarfs clean them with magic, I won't check it out. You little guy is very strong. Come on, you hand it to Zach and let him pour them all in together.'
‘…’
Finally, after Anne lined up and handed the basket of things she brought to Uncle Zach, and let the other party throw them into the big pot of stewed boiler, Anne was finally able to stroll around the square while smelling the strange fragrance coming from the boiler.
“Hi~?!”
☆?(o*?▽?)?
"Sister Karen, Sister Lin and Perbuli, are you all okay?"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)?
Annie soon found the three people who had just left the team and walked aside to avoid the crowd's sight, and asked with a smile on their faces, their noses, cheeks and lips.
"snort!!"
"What are you looking at? Little guy, isn't it the fault of your hateful puppy? Has it arrived today? My aunt must beat it up!"
Seeing Anne approaching stingingly, Karen, whose cheeks were still swollen, pulled up her cuffs and searched around, preparing to really find trouble for a hateful little puppy.
However, she couldn't help but snatch a breath of air conditioning just after she pulled up her cuffs!
Because, there are several red swollen bags of different sizes on her arm. Although the potions provided by Doctor Dot have been applied, it will ensure that there will be no traces or scars in the future, no matter how it is, it will cause pain and swelling for two days.
"It seems that I didn't come..."
"Damn little guy, look, it made my brows and eyelids swollen. When I went back yesterday, my dad thought I was fighting with Karen!!"
After searching for a while, Lin, who had swollen eyes, quickly came up with an answer that made them feel a little regretful... Obviously, she realized that the little guy Anne did not bring the hateful little puppy, Tibers, from his house.
Of course, it is also possible that the cunning little thing knew what to face, so he didn't follow him?
"You two are pretty good~!"
"You, look at the lips and the butt of the widow... I feel sore when I speak now..."
"hiss……"
"And I don't dare to sit on a stool in the nest, and I can only lie down when I sleep at night... Then it's so uncomfortable, wuwu... I really want to throw the bad dog from her into the boiler and stew it and eat it!!"
At this time, Perbuley, who was beside him, also said angrily.
Among the three people who were attacked by the furious bee swarm in the ranch yesterday, Perbuli was the worst injured! Not only was she stung several times, but she was not even let go of her butt, because she heard what Karen or Lin said at that time, so she was so stupid that she pulled up her skirt to cover her face?
Then, she could not care about her butt.
"Ha ha……"
(*^▽^*)
"Actually, I've wanted to throw it into the pot for a long time... But that's useless, so it's not afraid of that~?!"
(????-)?
Anne said that her Teebos is not as simple as a dog. In fact, she often throws it into a pot, a bucket, or a lava magma, so even if the three people in front of her catch it and throw it into the boiler to stew it, they will definitely not be able to do anything about it.
"snort!"
"You wait and see, Anne...When I catch it next time, do you think it is afraid? Next time, I have to punish it well!"
"That's right, Karen, I'll beat it up with you when the time comes!"
"It's not okay to beat it up. Lin, we have to throw it into the pot over there and stew it and eat it! See if it dares to dare in the future?!"
Although the three of them said this, Karen also knew that they were just verbal threats. Even if they really caught them, they would definitely not throw them into the boiler for stewing... Besides, Mayor Thomas and Zach would definitely not allow it. They were staring there all the time. It would be nice that she could secretly throw chocolate and candy in.
“…”
(lll￢▽￢)
"Then you guys do it, they don't mind anyway~!"
??(??￣?￣)?????
Annie didn't think that the three guys in front of her could beat Tibers, the stupid dog in her family. Even if the other party was suppressed by her, she could not exert any power at all.
‘Hey~!’
‘Don’t argue, don’t be anxious! Uncle Saibala, don’t put that kind of thing in. There are so many fish, are we planning to drink fish soup today?’
‘There will be many bone spurs and fishy smell later, so it will be difficult to deal with!’
‘…’
‘There’s too much ginger, so put some cooking bar, and then Zach remembers to scoop out the foam…’
‘What is that? Wine? And grapes? Please, who brought that thing, how can you put that thing in?’
‘Hey! Why is that potato a little green? It’s not sprouting, right? Stop it away quickly!!’
‘…’
"Oh~!"
"Dad is so nagging. He is not eating alone. Why is his voice even louder than that of Mayor Thomas?"
At this time, the four people who were chatting soon heard the noise and shouting from the boiler, and then Lin sighed helplessly to her friends.
"That's because Mr. Dart is a professional chef. If he looks at it, the taste of the "Harvest Festival" this year may be much better."
"But even that may not be useful, because everyone has put a lot of things in before they know it..."
“But luckily the pot is big enough!”
"Yes, that pot is so good. You can put a lot of things in for soup. It should be pretty good when you think about it. Maybe if I drink it later, I can let my grandma drink a little and take a little back?"
At this time, Mary, wearing glasses and Ellie, who was still wearing nurse's uniform, also came over. They also came today, and brought a lot of things to the big pot like a big boiler.
"Carlane, Lin and Purbley, are your injuries still hurting?"
"Do I want you to change the medicine?"
Seeing the embarrassing appearance of the three sisters, Ellie couldn't help but hold back her smile and pretend to be concerned and asked.
Fortunately, she had to be on duty at the hospital and had no time to go to the farm with them, and Mary had to stay in the library just like herself, otherwise, it would be not just the three of them who were stung now.
"don't want!"
"Your hand strength is too strong. Yesterday, I rubbed it so hard that the back of the other person was so swollen and painful. I don't know if you did it on purpose..."
Perbuley looked at the guy in front of her who was as bad as Doctor Dort. Originally, it didn't seem that the pain behind her was not too painful, but after the other party rubbed her hard yesterday, she felt even more painful and swelling today.
"I didn't mean it!"
"Because Dortmund said that those medicines need to be massaged vigorously, and try to activate blood stasis as much as possible to recover as soon as possible. That is called short pain rather than long pain, otherwise you will have to swell for several more days!"
"Yes, but you're too hard!"
"There's nothing to do, because my technique is not as good as Doctor Dote, and you don't allow him to come in person, so I have to do that..."
“!!”
"He is a man, how could we let him come? Ellie, you are so light-hearted. If it were you, you wouldn't have said that!"
"Perbley, patients are the same in the eyes of doctors, both of them are not distinguished from men and women..."
"But the doctors distinguish between men and women in the eyes of patients!"
“…”
"Okay, don't argue. It seems that you can eat there. Everyone, hurry up and queue up to get some, and then let's talk while eating?"
"Good idea!"
"Go quickly and go quickly!"
When the strange fragrance spread in the air of Rose Square in Ore Town became more and more intense, when the fire under the boiler-like big pot became more and more intense, when the steam on the boiler continued to roll with the boiling soup, when people lined up under the mayor Thomas to start picking up the "harvest festival" dishes that Zach had scooped out with a long spoon, Karen hurriedly stopped the dispute between Perble and Ellie, and called everyone to rush towards the middle of the distant square.
Half an hour later.
?
The autumn sun is still so good, and the cool autumn wind is so cool that staying in Rose Square, which does not have much shelter, will not make the residents of Ore Town too uncomfortable.
only……
Those who had more or less eaten and drunk a portion of soup did not feel very comfortable, but instead frowned one by one?
‘……’
‘……’
Gulu!
Gulu~!Gulu~!
'ah!'
‘My belly…’
‘It hurts so much, Ellie, I suddenly want to go to the bathroom…’
'Me too……'
‘Elie, your grandma wouldn’t have gone to drink that dish too, right?’
‘Not yet, but You must have drunk it…’
‘No, I can’t hold it in! Perbuli, get out of here, I’m going to go in now!’
‘Hey! I came first, don’t push the door~?!’
‘…’
‘Oh, why are there so many people here? Let’s go home and go there!’
‘Hurry! Go!’
‘Zach! It's closest to the dock, why don't we go to your house?’
'good!'
Soon, except for a few people who did not eat or drink and did not respond, most of the people who drank the "harvest festival" cuisine scattered in a hurry, leaving Rose Square with only the dishes, chopsticks, soup spoons or other things thrown around the floor, looking messy.
“!!”
"Hey! Annie, why are you okay?"
At this time, he didn't know what was wrong with the "Harvest Festival". After the mayor Thomas, who was so anxious that he was at a loss, saw a little girl standing not far away unmoved, he asked strangely.
"that……"
(?~?)
"Because they were just in the last line, there was no time to eat? Then Grandpa Thomas, why are you okay?"
く(＾_?)ゝ
“I didn’t have time to eat…”
"By the way!"
"Annie, did you put something strange in? We threw all your basket of crops in before, and didn't have time to check it out carefully..."
Seeing that there was a big problem with the important "harvest festival" and the cooking dishes, Thomas, who presided over the ceremony, would of course look a little unfavorable!
So, he thought about it and felt that the jam, chocolate or candy that some troublemakers threw in should not be a big problem. He felt that he could not find out where the problem was, so he had to ask about the big basket of things that were most likely to have problems and that he was the only one who had not carefully checked.
"A lot!"
?(ˊ▽ˋ*)?
"There are tomatoes, corn, onions, pumpkins, pineapple, eggplant, carrots, sweet potatoes, spinach and green peppers!"
?(?????????)????????
"That's all? It sounds like no problem..."
Those were hot spring crops produced by the ranch. Thomas had seen them before and they were all cleaned well. After all, the magic of the dwarfs was very magical, so he did not continue to check, thinking that there must be those cleaned crops inside.
"There are also some sea fish and honey!"
??(′??)???
For Anne, who was tired of eating grilled fish, she would certainly not be stingy with putting all the things she couldn't finish in the basket to bring them.
"Fish? Honey?"
"But there seems to be no problem..."
There are many people who come here today, not to mention honey. It can be fresh in soup, or even drink it directly. It is also very good for the body. As long as there is a puffer fish, it is enough... Of course, if there is a puffer fish, it is probably not as simple as diarrhea.
"And apples and eggs!"
(????-)?
"You are not the only one who puts apples and eggs in it! Think about it again, is there anything special?"
Although Thomas does not recommend adding fruit, he will not stop it. Moreover, it is not impossible to eat apples after heating. That kind of apple pie is very delicious. I think it will not be too bad to put some in and stew the soup.
“Um…”
(′～`●)
"It seems that there are the mushrooms I just picked today, and there are several Matsutake mushrooms!"
?(⊙?⊙)?
That was picked by Anne to the back mountain. They grew behind a pile of rocks. Most people really couldn't get through it, but that wouldn't hurt her.
"Oh! Matsutake! Little guy, you are so willing to bear it!!"
"But these sound no problem, do you have anything special?"
When Thomas heard the little girl say this, he became even more confused... because the other party seemed to have very serious things, and there were many good things in it, such as matsutake honey, so he also began to rack his brains to think.
But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of anyone who would put something that shouldn't have, which led to problems with the stewed soup.
“Um…”
(??ˇ?ˇ?ˇ??)
"By the way! Do there are still a few beautiful mushrooms picked together in the back mountain? They saw that no one picked them, so they picked them a little."
!(;?o?)o
That kind of mushroom can be shipped, and it is said that it is worth a lot of money?
However, for the pasture is now on track, with a group of dwarves who don’t have wages to exploit, and a fixed large income every day, and there is no need to fry fish or search the mountains. After picking the valuable mushrooms, you will no longer have the desire to ship them, and you will use them as a "harvest sacrifice" here.
“!!”
"Several beautiful mushrooms?"
Mayor Thomas was stunned, stopped thinking, and turned to look at the little girl with stiff eyes, feeling that he seemed to have found the key to the problem?
"Yes! They are picking them in the back mountain, they are so beautiful!"
(????-)?
Originally, Annie wanted to take it back and leave it for her to eat, but she thought that she didn't seem to know how to cook, so after a while, she had to take it to get the cheaper ones.
"Ann, Annie..."
"Are they like that kind of mushroom?"
Suddenly, Mayor Thomas turned around and rummaged through a trash can behind him for a while, and soon took out a beautiful and spotted mushroom, which was brought by the little girl Mei, but he picked it out after seeing it at first sight.
"Yes! That's them!"
?(????)?
"But Grandpa Thomas, why do you have one here too?"
|?˙?˙)?
"ah!"
"It's over! I knew that Zach shouldn't have left all over it at that time..."
"I won't say anything anymore. I'm going to discuss it with Dote. Little guy, go home first, don't worry about the things here!!"
After saying that, Thomas, who finally found the problem, hurriedly left.
He planned to go to the hospital immediately to discuss the collective poisoning of the residents of Ore Town who accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms. But now it is thankful that the "Harvest Festival" dish is a pot of stew and the amount of poisonous mushrooms should not be too much. In addition, the pot is big and the soup is too much, so the concentration of toxins is probably not too high, otherwise the problem would be really big!
“???”
∑(′△)?!
"Forget it, let's drink first..."
??(??￣?￣)???? Gulu~!
Seeing that terrible guy Thomas left in a hurry and looked at the Rose Square that had been cleared in an instant, Anne thought about it, then simply stepped forward, picked up one of the bowls of steaming soup and drank it all in one sip!
She really didn't mean it, and she didn't know that the mushroom could not be eaten, and she couldn't blame her for this matter. She was so busy with a big basket of things. Who made that bad old man want to be lazy and not check it carefully?
“…”
(?????????)
"Although the smell smells a bit weird, it still tastes delicious!"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)=3 call!
Anne picked up another bowl and drank it in one sip.
She didn't think there was any problem, but she was still unsatisfied with her thoughts, then picked up another bowl and planned to take it back to the ranch to give her little bear Tibers to see if it would also have diarrhea?
Although, there are indeed poisonous mushrooms and chocolates inside...
but......
After thinking that the Teebos in her own house was not an ordinary dog, she quickly threw away the unnecessary or never-before-old "worry" and firmly believed that it would definitely be fine!
