Chapter 121 Girl Captain
Walking out of the Golden Leaf Bookstore, Loren Hill had a bag in his hand, which contained the book he just bought.
Looking at the sky surrounded by the tall eaves, it was probably not long after noon, and Roland Hill was also looking for a place to eat.
Although she saw many familiar western restaurants along the way, she wanted to try oriental dishes in Luojing this time. After walking and stopping on the street for a while, I finally stopped under an octagonal treasure building.
This treasure building is eight stories high. The whole building is made of light cherry-colored and white stone bricks. The eaves are paved with cyan tiles. There are also pieces of white jade hanging below the eaves. These stone flakes have light gray veins on them, which look very beautiful, roughly in the shape of a diamond, and hang in a line along the eaves. People feel comfortable.
After entering the Baolou, several waiters in pale white costumes came, and after inquiring, they led the girl to the third floor.
"Please, the third floor will be quieter."
The girl immediately stepped up the stairs and walked upstairs step by step.
Soon after sitting down, the waiter brought a menu with the name of the dish written in various notes, and then there were small black characters next to it, introducing the ingredients and characteristics of the dish.
The girl opened this relatively new booklet, and was soon surprised by the complicated names and types of dishes. These recipes include not only common vegetables such as rice, porridge, dim sum, preserved meat, sauces, dishes, soups, etc., but also meat dishes such as roasting, smoking, roasting, deep-frying, steaming, boiling, and mixing. The range of materials is also from pastoral dishes to precious mountain and sea delicacies, and there are even more than ten kinds of dishes with extraordinary efficacy written on the back.
It should be said that it is indeed Luojing. As the most prosperous city in the Plantagenet Dynasty, it is also the city where the dignitaries gather the most. The abundance of food here is something that many people never imagined.
Looking at the dazzling recipe, Roland Hill temporarily closed it and asked directly.
"Do you have any seasonal dishes to introduce recently? In addition, I brought a bowl of stir-fried beans. This little guy next to me is also hungry."
"Okay, what do you think when the autumn yellow crabs are getting fat recently?"
Crabs? Roland Hill remembered the last time he and Keti caught sea crabs by the sea. Although the taste was okay, it didn't feel like there was any meat.
"Let's change it." The girl shook her head.
"What do you think of the mandarin fish soup with osmanthus flowers?"
The mandarin fish is tender and delicious, with less spines and more meat, and rich in nutrients. It is a relatively expensive fish in the dynasty and is loved by many people.
"That's it." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then, at the recommendation of the waiter, ordered a small plate of gold and silver clips.
"This is also made by fresh crabs, but only the crab meat is made of crab yellow and crab meat. It doesn't need to be laborious to remove the shells, so it is more convenient to eat." He introduced one after another.
"Well, that's all." The girl nodded, then sat quietly at the table and waited.
Because it was past the meal time, the third floor was relatively clean. There were only three or four tables occupied, and other places were empty. Roland Hill could easily overlook the bustling streets below from the position by the window.
Various styles of carriages pass through the streets. In addition to common trucks, there are also many valuable carriages, many of which are made of fine sandalwood, carved with complex patterns, and also use scaled dragon-horse carriages, which are very luxurious. .
The sky above is not empty, and there are often riders riding giant dragons walking down from the clouds and cruising in the sky. These elite dragon cavalry, wearing bright red armor, their strength is above Sequence 5, fighting together with human and dragon, they can easily deal with Sequence 6 monsters. When riding, it will also feel difficult.
The Red Sparrow Dragon Riders are the forbidden army directly belonging to the royal family. It is because of their existence that this huge city with millions of people and countless hidden extraordinary people can always maintain a good state of security.
Just when Roland Hill was a little bored waiting, there was a commotion from the street below, and she couldn't help turning her eyes.
A group of people with special looks and clothes walked on the street. These people were tall and strong, and their bones seemed to be much thicker, and they looked a little taller than the surrounding pedestrians. Their faces and shoulders are painted with red or white paint, and most of the clothes they wear are also made of animal skins, which are easy to move around and cool at the same time.
"Did you see that over there, that group of people who were a little dark in the sun?" Residents on the street whispered.
"I see, where did these people come from, and why are their physiques so different from ours?" the companion asked.
"It seems that you haven't stayed in Luojing for a long time. These people are estimated to be from Baimanzhou, and their bloodlines are quite different from our Luojing hinterland."
"Hundred Man Continent, I didn't know much about that place, but I heard that there are a lot of monsters."
"It's not false, but the extraordinary who grew up in such an environment are especially fierce. There is also a door-to-door family born in the place."
"Going to the door, it's impossible. There are only thirty-six of the 134 continents in the world. Which one is not deep in the background. How can it be possible to come to the door in such a remote corner." The companion shook his head quickly.
"Alas.... this is not easy to explain, but it is true." After that, the two men quietly avoided, watching the group pass by from a distance.
Loren Hill hugged Dai Jubird and looked at the group of people from afar. All of them were above the fifth rank, and most of them were demon sequences or war sequences. The man who was in the lead had extremely strong power in his body, and in his soul perception. Like a dragon elephant, walking across the street is terrifying.
Hundred Man Continent, I seem to have heard of it, so they should be from the Tiger Roaring Nine Desolate Mountains. Lorraine Hill recalls the recent introduction of Gu Lie
Shao, Tiger Roaring Jiuhuang Mountain is not well-known in the hinterland of the Central Plains, but as one of the door-to-door members, the members of the faction are extremely tough, and they fight endlessly, which is amazing.
"Hello, this is the osmanthus mandarin fish soup you ordered, as well as honeysuckle clipped with flowers."
A waitress carefully served the dishes, then opened the lid of the white porcelain vessel to reveal the steaming fish soup.
A mandarin fish is lying in it, and the surrounding soup is like milk, smelling a touch of sweet-scented osmanthus. If you move it with chopsticks, you can find tender and smooth small cubes in the soup, similar to jelly, but it tastes different. Tofu is similar. Sprinkle some green scallions into the soup to garnish it.
The stack next to it is a section of honeysuckle with flowers. It is said to be steamed with ginger and crab, and then the crab roe and crab meat are taken out. Then knead the dough into a ball, then flatten it, lay the crab roe and crab meat on it, roll it up into strips, and cut it into small pieces. Finally, these slices are steamed in a steamer, and then placed into a plate.
After the two plates were placed, another waiter brought a small table that had been shrunk many times in size, placed it on the chair beside the girl, and placed a large bowl of fried beans mixed with fragrant beans on the small table, bursting with fragrance. spread out.
"Please use it slowly." After that, the two slowly stepped back.
Lorraine Hill looked at the two dishes, and before moving the spoon, Dai Ju, who was in his arms, couldn't sit still. Fluttering his wings, he jumped out and came to the chair prepared for it. He tilted his head and looked at the bowl of beans. Just pecked.
It is good at flames, and it is not afraid of being hot. It seems to be happier to eat it while it is still hot. Once you take a bite, it will not stop after that. If it is not limited by the body structure, you have to raise your head to swallow it from time to time, or you will bury your head in the bowl.
"Slow down, don't be in such a hurry." Roland Hill said softly, and then slowly tasted it himself.
First, take a few mouthfuls of the mellow fish soup, then use chopsticks to pick up a small section of gold and silver color, and the soft and delicious touch will be transmitted on the tip of the tongue.
It's so delicious~ The girl's heart also rose to a touch of happiness.
After eating a few pieces of steamed gold and silver pieces, Roland Hill started eating with mandarin fish soup. The bright and clean bowls are filled with light red and white rice.
This rice is also a speciality of the store, called 'Pantao Rice', which is to cook the big peach and rice soup, peel the skin and remove the core, then cut into small pieces, put it into the rice when it is almost cooked, stir well, and finally mix it with the rice Sheng out. This kind of rice tastes sweet and delicious, even if there is no vegetables, you can easily eat it.
In the treasure building, Roland Hill was eating a late lunch, with a light breeze blowing in his ears, one person and one bird immersed in the bustling and peaceful street scene of Luojing, enjoying a quiet and comfortable moment.
——————
Western Continent, Southern Islands.
There are thousands of miles of blue water, and the bluish sea water slaps the side of the ship from time to time, bringing bursts of water droplets and waves. A 20-year-old girl stood on the bow, wearing a white shirt and trousers, holding a telescope in one hand, looking at the distant sea.
"Hurry up~, don't let that big guy run away."
"Eldest Sister Alena, the brothers really can't move, it's been almost an hour at full speed." Behind the girl, a first officer with a headscarf scratched his head helplessly.
"Why are you so weak, don't you guys usually blow it all up?"
Alena's brown-black hair fluttered in the wind, then turned her head. Now that she is dressed like this, if people who don't know see it, they will probably think she is some captain or a great navigator.
The long, flat brim of the hat was pressed against the hair, the golden hilt was at the waist, and a pocket watch and a package full of small objects hung beside it. Clothes are close-fitting and capable, and there is indeed a feeling of being an officer.
Now she is on her father's boat, chasing an escaped sea beast. This big guy has recently injured a lot of merchant ships, and the Youngberry Kingdom has issued a high-value wanted order, and Alena, who wants to make a lot of money, naturally will not miss this good opportunity, so she borrowed a boat from her father and returned it. Including the crew on board.
The reason why this sea beast has escaped the pursuit many times is because it runs relatively fast, so Alena used what she has learned to improve the 'Seal' and added a groundbreaking propeller to the stern.
This speed is indeed much faster, but the only shortcoming is how to make the propeller turn. Alena, who can't afford the magic power furnace, came up with a way to drive it manually.
After all, the simplest magic power furnace costs 50 gold coins, and if it is driven by human power, it is nothing more than a few more meals. For this account, a genius such as Miss Alena can still calculate it.
After stomping her feet, Alena threw the telescope to the first mate and walked quickly to the cabin below. She wanted to see what was going on below.
In the hot and humid cabin, the taste is definitely not good, but Alena doesn't care. She has lived by the sea since she was a child, and she has long been used to it.
As the footsteps approached the cabin on the rear side of the bottom of the boat, the sound of shouting and discussion gradually became louder.
"Keep going, push hard, Miss Alena said, after the event is completed, each person will be given a gold coin." The second mate's cheering voice sounded.
"Hey, hey....hey, hey...not moving." Several rough voices shouted weakly.
"This thing is too tiring, how can a human compare with a machine."
"You can't say that. The Young Moon Council has always said that nature is higher than machinery. Don't you think that the sea beast on the opposite side is a naturally born magical beast?"
"Ah, what lame philosophy you are talking about again, all I know is that I'm as tired as a dog now, and I really can't understand it."
"Actually, dogs are not so tired." A faint voice next to him complained.
"Then am I not even better than a dog?
. "The voice before was also anxious.
"Cough, to make money, don't think too much." The second officer next to him couldn't help interrupting.
Although the voices did not stop, these people were still pushing the wheels reluctantly, but it is unknown how much effort they exerted.
bang——
The door was suddenly pushed open, and a vigorous figure stepped into the cabin pressing the brim of his hat.
"Ah...Miss Alena."
Several sailors suddenly became nervous when they saw the sassy girl. Although they rationally told themselves that the old captain's daughter would not do anything to them, they were still a little guilty no matter how they were caught.
"Why, keep talking!" Alena stepped on the wooden barrel with a golden knife and looked at the group of slick sailors, all of whom were old acquaintances.
"When I usually drink one by one to find women, I really blow myself up in the sky, and now I'm like a dead cat, shrugging and pulling my legs."
"Didn't I teach you how to practice before, why are you all at the top of rank 2 now, not even 3? If you usually drink a little less and be diligent, will you still be a bachelor in this life... "Alena's words of rebuke were like sea water, endless.
After graduating from Emenas, the girl seemed to have changed a lot in her way of speaking after she was accustomed to hanging out with seafarers at sea. The gentle aura she had acquired from several roommates in the past quickly dissipated, and she became straight and rude.
However, with her still beautiful appearance and figure, Alena now looks a bit handsome.
Looking at these sailors who are usually delicious and lazy, oily and greedy, Alena became more and more angry, and finally pulled out the long knife around her waist. The knife was sharp and swung freely in the air. Others trembled inwardly.
"I can't, I can't, Miss Alena, my aunt. Put away the knife, the brothers can't bear it..." The second pair saw that the hair on his forehead had been shaved a few times. Root, with a chill behind him, hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Yes, yes, Miss Alena, you have put away the knife."
"We will try to paddle." Several other sailors quickly echoed.
This eldest lady is a real Magic Sequence 5, and she is still the kind that is going to be advanced. On the nearby islands, there are not many people who are her opponents. The key is that she is still young, so very few people dare to mess with this. Miss Captain.
"Humph." Alena glared at these people and inserted the enchanted knife back into her waist.
After that, she quickly chanted the incantation, and a refreshing air swirled in the cabin, dispelling the previous sultry heat.
"Come on, uncles and uncles, you will definitely remember today in the future." Alena's tone softened.
"Because you are following the great sages of the future magic sequence, the servants of thousands of magical beasts, the overlords of the seven seas, the inventors of alchemy creations that swept the world, and the triple great Lord Alena."
"Yes!" the sailors answered in unison.
On the sea under the scorching sun, a sea boat with horizontal sails sailed towards the fleeing sea beast at high speed. Behind the hull, there were surging white waves.
