Chapter 70 Food Is Not Food
"welcome."
Under the guidance of the waiter, Jason and Tanier entered the restaurant.
As seen from the outside, the entire restaurant is elegant and comfortable. There are no crowded tables, but only scattered arrangements. The screens made of green plants cover the guests just right.
Neither deliberate nor embarrassing.
Two musicians are playing the violin.
Under the melodious music, Jason had some expectations for the upcoming "Looking at the Stars".
Tanir had undoubtedly done a lot of homework before coming.
After sitting down, the young teacher of Deer Academy said in a low voice:
"It is rumored that this dish is in honor of a great captain!"
"During the stormy season, the whole island was starving, and it was this captain who ventured out to sea to catch edible fish for everyone."
"There are seven in total."
"Looking up at the stars is also made using these seven kinds of fish as raw materials."
Seven kinds of fish?
The tastes of different fish are superimposed on each other.
Served with different seasonings.
If the cooking method is different, it must be quite delicious!
Jason's heart began to have more expectations.
After all, to be able to skillfully apply various techniques of frying, cooking and frying to a dish, one must have quite superb cooking skills.
Otherwise, it is impossible to open such a restaurant.
"What about 'eel jelly'?"
Jason asked about another dish.
"'Eel Jelly' is the most simple and natural method."
"Nothing added."
"Natural, that's its characteristic."
Tanier replied.
Is it natural?
Pure wild eel!
It's big, the meat is plump, and it's tonic!
Jason thought subconsciously in his mind.
But Tanir thought of something and sighed with regret.
"'Looking at the Stars' and 'Eel Jelly' are now on the rise!"
"However, compared with 'Haggis', it is still a lot worse!"
"Jason, do you know 'Haggis'?"
Tanier asked.
"'Haggis'?"
Jason shook his head.
"It's also delicious food."
"It is rumored that it is mutton food with a very long history."
"pity……"
"These new restaurants don't do it at all, you can only eat in some old restaurants."
"Lord is just a new city, and although it is full of energy and opportunities, it is destined to not have the restaurants with such history and heritage."
Tanir's words were full of helplessness.
However, the next moment, the young teacher of Deer Academy showed excitement on his face.
"Do you have time at the end of winter?"
"I'll take a three-week winter vacation."
"I think we can go to Terte and have a look, there must be a restaurant like this there."
Tanier invites Jason.
"Look at that time."
Jason wanted to agree.
But he was leaving in more than a day, so he couldn't make a promise at all.
Such an answer naturally disappointed Tanier.
But soon, as the waiters with silver plates appeared, Tanier's attention was completely attracted.
Under the illumination of the lights, the silver plates and covers exude a soft glow.
Two large and two small plates were placed in front of Jason and Tanier.
Jason and Tanir looked expectantly at the covered food in front of them.
"Please enjoy."
Following the waiter's words, the hood was lifted, and the anticipation of Jason and Tanier also reached the highest point at this moment.
Then……
A piece of fish deep in the pie appeared in front of the two.
That fish is stubborn!
Even if it is made into a dish, you have to hold your head high and rush straight forward, as if narrating your indomitableness.
but,
This is 'dead without resting eyes', right? !
Look at the empty eyes of those fish after they've been grilled!
Where did you look up at the stars?
Does the starry sky refer to the pattern of 'stars' in the middle of the pie?
This is too perfunctory, right?
And those fish tails that stand up, are they expressing the deep sinking of mud feet?
Jason put down his knife and fork silently and looked at Tanir quietly.
Tanier was also stunned.
Is this 'Looking up at the stars'? !
It's completely different from what he imagined!
However, now is not the time to pursue these, and Jason must be appeased.
The keen Tanir can clearly perceive that Jason has become dangerous at this time.
"Also, there is 'eel jelly'!"
Tanier pointed to the side, and at the same time rejoiced in his luck in his heart.
Fortunately, an 'eel jelly' was added, otherwise it would be over at this time.
Jason adjusted his breathing and was about to lift the little cover.
But a gap was revealed, and a stench that couldn't be described in words rushed to the face.
Snapped!
Jason pressed the cover firmly with both hands, and the silver cover creaked and began to deform.
"Is this 'eel jelly'?"
Jason asked.
"It should be, it should be."
Tanir stammered completely.
He was also frightened by the smell just now.
The smell was more terrifying than he accidentally put the fart bug in herring juice.
But what's even scarier is...
Jason!
Tanier looked at Jason who stood up silently, raised his hands and shouted:
"I do not know either."
"I also heard people say it."
"I am also a victim."
There was almost a cry in Tanir's voice.
However, contrary to Tanir's expectations, Jason, who stood up, did not use the large-caliber hunting... No, it was the shotgun against his forehead, but turned and walked out.
what happened?
I am saved?
Jason let me go?
Tanir looked at Jason's back in confusion, and asked in a strange way:
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Jason paused, turned around, and said word by word—
"Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!"
...
Jason walked out of the 'Starry Sky' restaurant without looking back and got into the carriage.
Tanir was one step behind.
As soon as I went out, I saw two people standing at the door of the restaurant.
If I read correctly, one of them is a customer who has just been in the restaurant.
Obviously, the other party came out earlier than them.
"How about the 'Starry Sky' restaurant?"
"That special, 'How about looking up at the stars?'"
The new customer, who had obviously never been to the 'Starry Sky' restaurant, asked the old customer.
"not bad."
"Especially 'Looking at the Stars', it's great!"
The old guest exaggerated admiration.
"is that so?"
The newcomer hesitated.
"Of course it is."
"Look, there are so many good reviews!"
Such words persuaded the new customer. When the new customer went to the restaurant to make an appointment, the old customer instantly became expressionless, and then quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
"This is the origin of 'fame'?!"
Tanier stared blankly at all this.
Then, full of guilt, he walked towards the carriage.
He was ready to sincerely apologize to Jason.
But at this moment, a gun muzzle silently pressed against his back.
Tanier's face stiffened, and he immediately raised his hands.
"My purse is in the left shirt pocket."
"The revolver I carry with me is on the right waist."
"The most valuable potion is in the left pouch."
Without hesitation, Tanier explained everything.
A light laughter sounded immediately.
"You misunderstood, Mr. Tanier."
"We are not malicious!"
"Just want to have a good talk with your friend, Your Excellency Jason."
The voice fell, and several figures surrounded the carriage.
The man holding the gun poked Tanir with the muzzle, signaling Tanir to move forward.
Tanier walked to the carriage with a lifeless expression on his face.
The person holding the gun was one step behind, with a smile of victory, and with a pretentious manner, he slowly opened his mouth and said:
"Hello, Your Excellency Jason, I..."
boom!
