Chapter 284 Game World 12
Seeing the village chief enjoying the roasted vegetables, the others curiously picked up a skewer of vegetables as well.
"I think I've seen this green vegetable in the Tabanda region before. It looks like Tabanda wheat seedlings. Is it edible?"
"No way, I've seen Tabanda wheat seedlings before, but upon closer inspection, they are quite different from this bunch of vegetables."
"Never mind all that, I'll try it first." A villager picked up a skewer of grilled chives and put it in his mouth, eating it without making a sound.
The chives are brushed with a layer of amber-colored secret sauce. The aroma of garlic and seasonings is fully activated by baking, resulting in a crispy and tender texture with a hint of spiciness and sweetness. It perfectly cuts through the greasiness of the meat skewers you just ate. One bite is enough to get you hooked and you just can't stop eating them.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the other villagers urged him, "Wataigeng, what does it taste like?"
Wataigeng swallowed the chives in his mouth and replied, "My goodness, this vegetable that looks like a wheat seedling is so delicious! You should all try it."
Some clever villagers, seeing him eating without even looking up, knew the vegetables must taste good and started eating them themselves.
"it's actually very good!"
"It's really delicious!"
"It goes very well with barbecue."
"It's quite delicious, but I feel a bit thirsty after eating a lot."
"I feel the same way. It always feels like something's missing."
"It would be nice to have something to drink."
At this moment, Jiang Shuang came over with a large bottle of dark red liquid and poured a glass for everyone.
"A refreshingly sweet and sour lemon black tea, please enjoy."
This is the sour dish that Lin Xiaoqian made according to the villagers' request; it's just a drink.
Of course, you need a good drink to go with barbecue, so Lin Xiaoqian made lemon black tea with black tea, rock sugar and lemon. The sweet and sour taste is the best way to cut through the greasiness of barbecue.
Moreover, this large bottle of lemon black tea was not only refrigerated but also had ice cubes, making it very refreshing to drink.
The villagers enjoyed a bite of barbecue and a sip of lemon black tea, exclaiming how delicious it was.
The previous dishes were all amazing, and Laurel from Watori Village couldn't help but look forward to the fish dish to come.
Because she wanted to save room for the fish, she refrained from eating much of the previous dishes. Her husband, Rodant, thought she had a poor appetite and asked if she was feeling unwell.
Fortunately, the next dish was a fish dish. On the white plate was a fish with a golden hue, covered in orange-red sauce. However, it looked a bit strange, with its head held high, its tail raised high, and its body looking unusually fluffy. The waitress who brought it over introduced it as Squirrel Mandarin Fish.
Laura didn't understand why fish dishes would be associated with squirrels. Could it be that squirrel meat was used in this dish?
However, this dish is really pleasing to the eye; it looks like a little squirrel with its fur standing on end.
Laura picked up a piece of fish with her chopsticks and felt a slight resistance from the crisp texture at the tip of the chopsticks.
With a gentle pinch, the golden-brown, fluffy fried fish broke apart, revealing its delicate, snow-white inner layer. The orange-red sauce slowly dripped down the fish's texture, spreading a bright sheen on the white porcelain plate, its sweet and sour aroma filling her nostrils.
She put the fish into her mouth and first heard a soft "crunch" as the crispy outer skin cracked between her teeth, followed by the melt-in-your-mouth tender fish meat.
So tender and delicious, with a sweet and sour taste, it tastes a bit like Hyrule tomatoes, very appetizing.
Unlike Laurel, who grew up by the sea and was used to eating all kinds of fish, the other villagers thought fish tasted fishier than animal meat, so basically no one touched the dish. Of course, it's also possible that they were too full to eat anymore.
Now, Lorelle was happily eating a plate of fish all by herself, completely satisfied.
The final dish was cream of mushroom soup, a milky white broth with mushrooms, corn kernels, and shrimp floating in it, sprinkled with chopped parsley, and rich in creamy flavor.
Since it was a mushroom dish, everyone tried a bowl and was instantly captivated by its silky smooth texture and rich flavor.
After the meal, everyone was so full they were holding their stomachs.
"I can't eat anymore!"
"Me too, but my mouth still wants to eat."
"Although I'm quite full, I think I can still have another bowl of cream of mushroom soup."
Koshayusi couldn't help but facepalm. What was wrong with them? They were all adults, yet they acted like those little kids from Kuling.
However, he was already stuffed himself.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal; in fact, everyone gave a score of 10 out of 10.
After a satisfying meal, the next step was to discuss the menu and vegetable seeds and seedlings.
The final decision was that each villager could provide a certain amount of vegetable seeds or seedlings in exchange for the recipes they wanted.
Lin Xiaoqian thoughtfully added that they would be leaving at noon tomorrow, and they could ask her any questions about the menu.
After discussing the matter, the villagers left, clutching their bellies, as they needed to go home to prepare vegetable seeds and seedlings. However, a few villagers lingered a few steps behind, wanting to say something to Lin Xiaoqian.
First, there was a young girl named Tokoyo. Her family ran a ranch on the hill behind the village, specializing in milk and other dairy products.
She said she really liked the final thick soup and asked if she could substitute milk for the soup recipe.
Lin Xiaoqian said that of course she could, and even if the girl didn't ask her to come and exchange, she planned to buy some local milk to take back with her.
However, she remembered that in the game, the little girl's grandfather left her a cheese recipe, and her family later started selling cheese.
But in this timeline, she probably hasn't seen the cheese recipe yet, and Lin Xiaoqian expressed some regret that she couldn't buy the cheese here.
After Toko left, Laurel, who had ordered the fish dish, thanked Lin Xiaoqian, accompanied by her husband.
"Thank you, this is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious fish."
Lin Xiaoqian waved her hand, "No need to thank me. By the way, are you from Watori Village?"
Laurel nodded. "Yes."
Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "After we leave tomorrow at noon, we've decided to head to Watori Village first. Do the villagers of Watori Village have any particular favorite ingredients?"
Laurel said with delight, “You’re going to my hometown? That’s wonderful! The people in our village are very warm and hospitable. You’ll definitely love our village once you’re there. However, our village is located in a coastal area, and the most common food we eat is fish. Fish is also our favorite food. The dish you just made, squirrel... squirrel mandarin fish, they’ll definitely love it too.”
