Chapter 53 (1/2)

The shabby wooden door and the swaying sign painted a wine glass with a red beard, mixed with the smell of barbecue, fermented ale and sweat, as if it were seducing the girl who came to the door.

It was less than noon. The sleepy little brother of the tavern was still yawning and wiping his glass, while the boss counted the income of last night behind the counter. Until I saw Lauren and ain coming in, I kicked my brother's ass and asked him to hurry up to greet the guests.

The silent ayin sat directly by the window. Instead, Lauren was interested in asking questions carefully, and then ordered a few things.

Although it's only a tavern, it's quiet because it's not late in the evening. Probably lorendo gave a silver coin as a tip, and the attentive little brother of the tavern soon brought it up.

Delicious lamb chops, cinnamon flavored baked apples, fried golden crisp smoked fish and bread stacked together, plus two large cups of rye wine and two baked meat and potato pie - a classic tavern food, simple but salivating.

Especially the baked meat and potato pie, which can make a serious person like Dalton want to try. Naturally, it's not unreasonable.

First, prepare some fresh meat. Of course, pork is OK, but beef is better. Mince the meat into meat paste, add a teaspoon of olive oil and stir fry until the meat foam turns white. Add diced onion and minced garlic with the taste until the onion is completely transparent.

Then add a small glass of wine and a small glass of water, slowly wait for the pot to boil, add thyme and start cooking, and wait quietly for about 20 minutes.

When the water in the pot evaporates to almost half, put in the flour and stir clockwise to thicken the gravy gradually. The thicker the soup, the more delicious the final taste. Sprinkle some salt evenly. If there is pepper, especially black pepper, it will be even better. The strong spicy and stimulating taste can attract more attractive appetite.

Then mash the cooked potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Add butter and fresh milk and stir well. Then put the beef on a plate and spread it with mashed potatoes. Depending on the taste, you can add some crushed cheese and finally send it to the oven. Everything is fine.

Generally speaking, it's not a time-consuming food, but it's really a delicious food - the soft and soft mellow mashed potatoes unique to ground meat are combined together, and the thick and viscous gravy penetrates into the whole pie and blooms in the mouth with the crushed cheese sprinkled on the outside. Even people who have just woke up will have a big appetite in front of this attractive fragrance.

Enjoying the delicious food in his mouth and drinking a mouthful of mellow rye wine, Loren was quite satisfied with the meal and reluctantly dipped the bread in the remaining gravy on the plate into his mouth. Just raised his head and looked at the little wizard who was still silent.

”Is this your second time here? How do you feel?”

”Eh? I'm... OK.” the slightly shy little wizard bowed his head like a frightened squirrel: ”that's what I ate last time I came with mentor Dalton...”

Fool, what the hell am I talking about?! The little wizard kept scolding himself at the bottom of his heart. Is this what he should say when eating with others?!

Speaking of it, why did you agree to him in a daze? Shouldn't you be reserved at this time? No, no, no... it should be too strange. Why did you only invite yourself without Isaac? Is he going to expose himself in private? Otherwise

The little wizard with his head full of wishful thinking turned his blue eyes into mosquito repellent incense. He didn't even feel that the wine glass was poured. The black ale would be sprinkled on the wide wizard's robe in an instant.

”Ah --!!!”

At the critical moment, Loren, who suddenly got up, grabbed the falling glass and put his face in front of AIN. The little wizard who screamed froze, and he could feel each other's breath faintly on his cheeks.

”What are you thinking?” with a smile, Loren put the glass in front of AIN again, and then picked up his own: ”come and have a drink with me.”

”Er? Can, but...” the little wizard who just wanted to hold up the wine glass was stunned: ”you certainly didn't come out just for dinner, did you?”
