Chapter 417 Eating Is the Top Priority
There weren't many people in the lobby on the first floor of the hot spring hotel, which indirectly lowered Gordon's expectations of the celebration.
As a result, when Gordon stepped out of the hotel door and looked down at the entire Jieyun Village, he was shocked by the bustling crowd that seemed to fill every gap in the village.
Hayata's face was also similarly surprised, "I guessed it would be lively, but I didn't expect it to be so lively."
"Yeah." Gordon looked back at the lobby of the hot spring hotel where even the counter became empty, "So, it's not that there is no one in the hotel, but that everyone ran to the village to participate in the celebration."
Hayata couldn't help but jump on the spot excitedly, then realized her loss of composure and quickly stopped.
Gordon suddenly realized that this guy had only been an adult for less than two years and was a girl under 20 years old.
"Let's go!"
Gordon crossed his arms and said with a smile: "It's been a long time since I last went out to have fun!"
"Great--!"
The two of them jumped and skipped like children, and from time to time they jumped a few steps down the long and high stone steps in front of the hot spring hotel.
The gentle laughter came, and the two people who were jumping like monkeys stabilized their bodies and became human again.
They thought no one saw them coming.
The place where the laughter came from was the bench at the bottom of the long stone steps, which was where the village head lady usually drank tea.
The village head lady was indeed here.
In addition to her, there was a dragon lady of about the same age as her, sitting side by side with her, and the two were looking at this side with a smile.
Gordon and Hayata suddenly felt a little hot on their cheeks.
"Hoo, hoo, hoo~" The village head lady's signature laugh rang out, and she waved her palm, "What's wrong with being happy? Don't worry about us!"
"Yes, young people should jump around at the celebration." The strange dragon lady also laughed and agreed.
Gordon and the others walked up to say hello. After introducing each other, they learned that the lady was from Jiangbo Village, a companion of the big-nosed village head, and a long-time friend of the village head lady.
"By the way, you guys shouldn't be stupid enough to come out after having a full dinner, right?" The village head lady took a sip of the wine dish.
Today was really happy, and she had her best friend with her, so she stopped drinking tea and switched to drinking wine.
"Eh? That's not the case."
Hayata secretly looked at the elegant hairstyle of the village head lady's friend, thinking that she could try to learn to tie it later, "I heard there will be a lot of snack stalls, and we all came out with empty stomachs."
"Hey, I didn't even have lunch!" Gordon said half-jokingly.
"Hoo, hoo, let's go, the sales at each stall have already started."
After saying goodbye to the two ladies, Hayata and Gordon joined the crowd.
Gordon was more than two meters tall and his width was almost as wide as two people, so he was naturally not afraid of being squeezed. In fact, not to mention him, even Hayata, a girl, had much stronger physique than ordinary people.
But when you get to a crowded place, you can't help but feel helpless.
Gordon was very lucky that he took off his upper body armor before coming out.
Otherwise, if he walked for a while and found that two people were hanging on him, the scene would be a bit scary.
Just then, a hand reached out, wrapped around Gordon's elbow, and hugged his arm.
Gordon's heart beat twice, and he tilted his head to look.
Hayata, who was hugging his arm, blushed a little. Noticing Gordon's sight, she whispered, "This is to avoid being separated and lost."
Gordon was also a little nervous, but he didn't say anything, and the two walked forward shoulder to shoulder.
"Minagaard barbecue is the best!"
Ted's loud voice came from the front, "Get out of the way! Let me grill!"
Gordon looked forward over the heads of the crowd with his "superior" height.
Then he saw a bald man who was also much taller than the crowd, who took the owner of the barbecue stall, Elu, who was busy operating the barbecue grill, to the side and took over the host.
While turning the barbecue grill, he bent his elbows and sprinkled seasonings heroically.
"Is this okay?" Maka looked at the other two companions anxiously.
"Don't worry, don't worry, brother can't do other things, but he is still a first-class barbecue!"
"At most, I will compensate the boss more later, hehe, the taste of people in the Western Continent is too light, Ted! Help me sprinkle more chili!"
Many tourists gathered around with the mentality of watching the fun.
Ted was a person who liked to come to the party. When he saw the crowd gathering, he immediately started to sell his food in a loud voice, "Mighty Man BBQ! Authentic hunter BBQ! Minagard special flavor, only 1 serving.
Boss, how much is it for 1 serving?"
Ted asked the dazed Elu stall owner. He actually remembered that he was the one who barged in.
"550z meow?"
"Only 50z for 1 serving!"
More and more people gathered around.
There is a long-standing saying about barbecue - hunter's barbecue is the most delicious!
The real reason for this is probably the freshness of the ingredients, but ordinary people don't care so much.
It has almost become a mindset that hunter's barbecue is the most delicious barbecue. With Ted's face, no one would believe that he is not a hunter.
There are naturally many people who are willing to try new things.
"Ge, does Senior Gordon want to buy it too?" Hayata's tone was full of hesitation.
Her sight inevitably focused on the arm that Ted was bending to sprinkle the seasoning on.
Salt and spices rolled down the hairy, sweaty elbow and finally fell on the sizzling barbecue.
Hayata felt that the barbecue would be very salty.
"To be honest, Ted's barbecue skills are pretty good." Gordon scratched his chin and said.
But seeing Hayata's increasingly frightened eyes, he quickly turned the subject away, "But I've been tired of it for a long time, and that was in the hunting grounds. It's really unhygienic now. Let's go eat something else."
"Okay!"
Hayata hurriedly left with Gordon.
Due to Ted's intervention, the barbecue could not be eaten, and the two decided to find some snacks to fill their stomachs first.
They came to another snack stand not far from the barbecue stand, and the stall owner was also an Elu.
It danced the two small shovels in its hands quickly, looking like the double knives in Julius's hands.
Large balls of noodles with rich ingredients flew between the spatulas, and finally fell back onto the hot iron plate, and were then picked up by the spatula. The sweet aroma of the mixture of onions and sauces made people very appetizing.
"Eat this?" Gordon looked at Hayata beside him.
Hayata nodded quickly.
"Boss, two servings of fried noodles!"
"Hi meow!"
Boss Elu shook the spatula twice, and the two balls of fried noodles separated as if they had life, and fell on two disposable plates made of hard oil paper.
Then with a flick of the tail tip, two pairs of short bamboo chopsticks also flew out of the drawer on the side and landed accurately on the plates.
"Please use meow!" Boss Elu crossed his spatulas, full of confidence, and looked like a master.
Gordon picked up the two plates of fried noodles, gave one to Hayata first, and then looked at his own.
The fried noodles stall at the celebration was originally more of a snack than a staple food, so the amount of one serving was not large. The plate was not as big as Gordon's open palm, and the chopsticks were only slightly longer than his fingers.
So he decisively gave up the idea of eating with chopsticks, opened his mouth wide, looked up to the sky and poured the fried noodles in the plate in one go.
"Chew, chew. It tastes good! Boss, more, um, ten more servings first?"
"Meow meow meow?!"
