Chapter 32 Memories of the past
"They only sell three kinds of food here, very ordinary food." Panis stroked the smooth and shiny tabletop with the corners that had been rubbed by friction, and said softly: "First is the fried fish steak, then the boiled snow jade root, and finally the red rice jelly, plus the velvet wine brewed by the owner himself."
"It sounds like a very ordinary food." Seeing Penis gradually immersed in his memories, Antuyin sighed and asked, "I don't feel that there is anything special. Is it more special in the materials used? Otherwise, if you use ordinary materials, it is hard to imagine that human craftsmanship can make a special taste."
"Although the ingredients are picky, they can only be said to be ordinary." Panis shook his head and said, "The fried fish steak is made of the red-mouthed silver-line fish that was picked up in the Naramiya River that night. After chopping it, mix it with the most ordinary eggs, and then spread it into a cake-shaped frying in the pot. More than one kilogram of snow jade roots are used to cook the snow jade roots. There is nothing special about it. As for red rice frozen, except that you need to pick by hand before boiling and picking out the not-full red rice, it is completely the same as the red rice frozen ingredients in other stores. So I said that these three are the most ordinary foods."
"But the most ordinary food attracted you and her attention." Antuyin said in confusion: "I still remember that although you two are casual about the quality of life in adventure, they are just tolerant. In fact, you two attach great importance to the enjoyment of life. Comfortable clothes, delicious food, and mellow wines are very attractive to you, so I wonder how such an inconspicuous small hotel can use the most ordinary ingredients to make the taste that both of you are interested in."
"This shop should be older than me," Panis said, pointing to the table, "just like this table."
"It can be seen." Antuyin nodded and said, "But what does this mean?"
"It is said that since the first store opened, they only sold these three foods." Panis said: "For more than a hundred years, passed down by generations, each generation insisted on cooking only these three foods, and put all their thoughts into it without being disturbed by any other chores. I think even if they cook only a few stones, they can make the gods feel moved. If not, just say that among you elves, can anyone do it?"
"It can't be done." Antuyin thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "It's okay in terms of time. It's only a hundred years, but it's impossible for the elves to invest all their energy in cooking and to focus on three kinds of foods."
"They can do it, so they can make the best taste of ordinary ingredients." Panis shrugged and said, "I just heard that I came here three times. The first time I came here at 1:00 pm. The place has been closed. It is said that they started business at 9:30 AM and only had two hours of business. It was closed at 1:30 PM. So I came for the second time, which was noon the next day. As a result, the owner of that year told me that the ingredients had been used up and finally I only drank a glass of velvet wine with a very good taste. But what is very annoying is that the female knight who ranked first in front of me happened to buy the last set of food. When I was drinking velvet wine, I sat opposite me, constantly looking at me with pity. At the end, she smiled apologetically at me, and without hesitation, she stuffed the last spoon of red rice jelly into her mouth."
"That's Neri." Antuyin shook his head and laughed: "It sounds like something she can do."
"I can tolerate anything, but I can't stand the food being stolen. Naturally, I have to take revenge." Panis seemed to have returned to his youth and returned to that happy day: "So I spent a whole day doing a thorough investigation, and then spent two more days to improve my plan. On the third day, I successfully took the lead and ranked first in front of her, and I can guarantee that it was the last three servings of food to me."
"You're so bored." Antuyin couldn't help rolling his eyes, and couldn't think of other words to describe Panis's behavior: "Even if you were only legendary at that time, you wouldn't be so idle."
"Hmph, this is my revenge." Panis looked at the void next to the table, as if there was there, and saw the familiar face again: "I will never forget the wonderful expression on her face at that moment. Hahaha, she pouted in anger, looked at me smugly and looked at me smugly, wanting to scold me but can't say it. That's really... so interesting."
Panis's softer voice made Antuyin sigh. The busy mage president clearly had serious things to talk about, but at this moment he couldn't bear to interrupt his old friend's memories of the past. He could only look at Panis's face slowly filled with a gentle smile.
"Two guests, the food you ordered is ready, please taste it." The old shop owner didn't know what he interrupted, and walked out of the kitchen with a plate, set up the table for the two who were waiting, so he bowed politely and returned to the kitchen, leaving the space for the two people in the conversation again. However, after being interrupted by him, everything could never go back to the past.
"Well, it seems I'm talking a little too much." Panis suddenly took a sip of velvet wine and said with a wry smile: "You're here to inform me this time."
"Yeah." Antuine's expression remained unchanged, but she sighed in her heart: "Her Majesty the Queen asked me to inform you that everything goes well and you can act according to your own ideas at any time."
"I just knew you were the most reliable people." Panis nodded, blocked his expression with a wine glass, and whispered: "During the time when I was not here, I will ask you to take care of them."
"Is it just this time?" Antuyin asked faintly: "Or what you want to say is, are you not here?"
"Ha, who knows that kind of thing?" Panis's wine glass was still in front of him: "At least we don't know now, so if you ask you to take care of them, you shouldn't refuse."
"Ha, who knows that kind of thing?" Antuyin replied in the same language: "Since you have been notified, I will go back, and there is still a lot of work to be busy with."
"So, that's why I said, the elf is the least stingy." Panis was not angry at Antuyin's unanimous answer, but just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Forget it, just leave, but are you really not going to taste the food here?"
"No need." Antuyin snorted coldly, "Anyway, your food is not ordered for me from beginning to end, so you should taste it yourself."
"Yes, it was not prepared for you." Panis raised his knife and fork, and the fragrant fried fish steak was placed in front of him, but he could only stare blankly, and the knife in his hand could not be cut off.
"By the way, I forgot one thing." Antuyin, who had already walked to the door, turned around and said, "You'd better go to the hall of the Alchemy Guild in the afternoon."
"What?" Panis was stunned: "Is there anything wrong?"
"I don't know." Antuyin curled his lips and said, "But if I don't go, I promise you will regret it."
"Who is afraid of you?" Panis also curled his lips, took a deep breath, and finally cut it with one touch.
