465 Glad I bought it. (1/2)
I found new possibilities for selling water, and I came to Jaisar's market.
That said, it is not an elegant one lined up with fine shops like Wang Du. It feels like a stopover made from a simple cloth tent.
But I can feel surprisingly cool just blocking the sunlight.
After all, I guess this sunlight is a non-silly temperature.
There are not many types of ingredients on the market. The meat seemed abundant but the variety of vegetables was low.
The slightly lined green vegetables were pricey or very strong.
After all, it will be difficult to grow vegetables only in desert areas.
Nevertheless, not at all, potatoes, roots, leafy vegetables, etc. were present that were resistant to drying.
Unlike common green vegetables, they are also pricey.
But there was such a charm in this city that I didn't think such a small amount of vegetables mattered.
It is the abundance of spices.
Like paprika powder, it looked like bright red powder, black powder, brown powder, beans wrapped in shells, something that dried some leaves, blue chili...... dozens of spices were placed in the wind.
If you take a peek at shops everywhere, they are naturally set aside and sold across a wide range to those blended by the store owner.
This is the first time such a number of spices have come to this world.
I saw them sell only a few lazur spices in Wangdu, but those seemed to be just a few of them.
”It's our characteristic spice. You want to try some?
”Be sure, please”
As I stared at the spices, I nodded firmly that the store owner would let me try them.
Give me your hand.
When I honestly got my hands on it, the store owner gave me a little of the characteristic spice in the bottle.
When I licked it, the tingling spicy spiciness, and the flavor and bitterness pressed in.
”This is delicious”
”Right? It can take the smell of meat, and accents the taste. You can sprinkle it on vegetables and eat it, or you can put it in soup.”
I guess I'm glad my prized spices are complimented. The store owner taught me how to use it with a face he seemed to be good at.
If you do have this complex flavour, just cook over the meat and it will be a treat. Or it definitely goes with the rice. I think I'll be happy to eat Sister Elinora or Mother Erna.
I think I was watching sweetly the awesomeness of the spices.
”Ah... but it's so spicy!
Didn't think otherwise at first, but later came the jitter and spiciness.
Hard to burn over your tongue.
”Is it hard? I meant to keep the spiciness down so everyone could eat easily.”
Wouldn't it be strange for a Lazur to taste that this makes it easy for anyone to eat?
”Water please.”
”One cup, two copper coins, okay?
I'm not kidding that it's two copper coins in a glass.
Feeding them spicy food and charging them for water. What a shitty business.
”No, I knew it was fine”
I have a lot of money but didn't want to get it until I paid high for it in vain.
I have no choice but to stick my hand in my back sac to open the subspace and try to remove the water bottle.
Then the shopkeeper smiled all the time here.
”By the way, I recommend this lassie juice when it's hard, right? It's sweet and delicious, and it reduces spiciness.”
”What's the price?
”Four copper coins.”
I don't know, I feel so taken by this shopkeeper.
But if it's an instant release from this spiciness and it's a delicious drink, I'll have to buy it.
The spices are so spicy that my tongue stings and I'm sweating.
”... I'll buy it”
”Every time.”
The store owner's really good smile annoys me, but now I want to drink Lassie Juice so badly that I don't care about it.
It's unclear if it actually helps to reduce spiciness, but now I wanted to mislead my taste by putting in something sweet anyway.
When you receive a cup to take away from the store owner, you drink the juice of white liquid in a crisp manner.
”Sweet and refreshing!
Sweet flavour that spreads in your mouth. It was as elegant as coconut milk and had a refreshing aftertaste.
More importantly, I couldn't feel the spiciness that seemed to cook at all.
