Chapter 788: A Food Tour
"You're not coming? Hey, what do you mean! You're so late and don't say anything, you're only telling me now?"
The roar on the phone made Roland turn his head, and even through the megaphone, he could feel Garcia's anger. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"There is a guest in the house suddenly, and I still have to receive it," he quickly explained, taking advantage of the other party's gasping time, "I can't help it, you know that there is only a fourteen-year-old ghost left in the house besides me, and she can't be allowed to entertain guests, right?"
"You live in 0825, right, I'll talk to you!"
"Uh, I'm not in the silo right now......" Roland narrowed his eyes as he said this, ready for the sonic attack.
Sure enough, Garcia raised her voice again, "Do you know that I made an appointment with the seniors of the association? I thought that you had finally taken on the responsibility you should bear, what is it to escape from the battle! Don't think I don't know what you are planning, come back to me now!"
What the hell is it to take responsibility...... It's easy to misunderstand, okay?
When he saw the taxi driver's expression of "good boy, there is really a set, I understand your troubles", Roland knew that the explanation might not work.
"Hey, what are you talking about? It seems that the signal is not good, I have entered Dongfang Road, hey, are you still listening? Hey...... Hey?" He hung up the phone directly after directing and acting himself, and turned off the power of his mobile phone just in case.
I'm afraid that this martial arts star has completely offended this martial arts star.
He didn't expect Garcia to be so concerned about his consent to join the Martial Arts Guild, and the other party's reaction once again confirmed that her cold attitude was only a symptom of her treatment of strangers, and that her true nature would only be revealed once she became an awakened person of the force of nature that she recognized.
"Old-fashioned trick," Jieluo, who was sitting behind her, snorted coldly, "Do you think we are staying in the deep mountains and old forests? ”
"Just talk a lot," Roland glanced into the back seat, only to see Phyllis leaning against the window, staring at everything outside the window in amazement, her posture not changing since she got into the car. It's no wonder she was surprised, high-rise buildings, dense traffic, huge billboards, wall-mounted screens, how shocking these things can be for an ancient person. In fact, the times are changing faster and faster due to the progress of the productive forces, and it is possible for a city to undergo a radical transformation in just twenty years, which may not even be acceptable to the people who live in the city, let alone the Taqira witch.
For this trip, Roland changed her tattered robe (according to her, a Tachira uniform) into her own clothes, short sleeves and sweatpants themselves are very neutral, Phyllis has no problem wearing it, but it is obviously very cheap street clothes, but she wears a casual and comfortable sense of fashion, I have to say that appearance is indeed a thing that turns decay into magic. The only trouble was to wrap the chest, and in the end, I had to ask Jieluo to take action and solve this problem with a wrapping cloth.
Therefore, the purpose of this shopping was clear, except to take the Divine Punishment Witch to eat and drink, and all that was left was to buy her a dress - what if she could go back to dreaming?
"Here we are, Green Valley Park," the driver pressed down the meter, "twenty-five." ”
Not far from the tube building, this park is also a high-quality green space that Roland found when he explored the city, there are not many people who come here to hang out, there is a commodity street nearby, and most importantly, there are chain stores with Kaifeng Cai and Lanlan Road.
That's right, this is Roland's preferred restaurant - the environment of the roadside store is too low-grade, and the taste is not standard, after all, this trip is to bring a wonderful experience to visitors from another world, naturally have the most basic requirements for taste and environment, and at the same time meet the condition of "let the other party eat". Those star-rated stores are obviously better, but what if you eat them with an open stomach...... Roland felt that his wallet might not be able to sustain such consumption.
Therefore, fast food restaurants that are not available have obviously become the most suitable choice.
And Jieluo has been clamoring for this for a long time - probably the doll toys that come with the children's menu are very attractive to the little ghosts.
took the two of them into the Kaifeng restaurant, found a seat by the window and sat down, Roland came to the counter and directly ordered two family buckets and a children's package.
"Why did you buy so much!" Jie Luo was surprised when she saw Roland holding a large plate of food piled on the table, "Uncle, even if you have a job, don't waste it." ”
"Since it's rare to meet me when I'm generous, can you eat obediently?"
"Oh!" the little girl finally calmed down a lot after taking the package toy in her hand.
"Eat it too, don't tell me enough," Roland handed her a piece of fried chicken—the skin of the chicken cooked at high temperature and pressure had an enticing golden color, and the smell of it was appetizing. Modern chicken not only maintains its tender taste, but also completely penetrates the flavor of seasonings such as black pepper, thyme, garlic and salt into the meat fibers, and the effect is completely unmatched by the tabula rasa meat of that era.
Fast food is often criticized for its high calorie and cookie-cutter taste, but it is undoubtedly a unique taste in ancient times when there was a lack of food and seasonings, not to mention that Phyllis has not tasted it for hundreds of years.
Along the way, she carried out Roland's instructions perfectly, never asking questions about anything new and trying to imitate the actions of others as much as possible. But at this moment, she couldn't control herself anymore - the moment she took the bite of the fried chicken, two lines of tears burst out of her eyes and flowed down uncontrollably.
"Sister, this is ......" Jieluo couldn't help but be stunned.
"Well, nothing, she just hasn't had a full stomach in a long time. Phyllis's family didn't treat her well...... They always wanted a boy, but they never got it...... In short, you don't understand if you talk too much, as long as you know that she has a hard time over there. ”
"So that's ......" The little girl's expression softened instantly, probably with empathetic sympathy.
Roland didn't care why Jieluo called Phyllis his sister and called himself an uncle, he watched the ancient witch crying and munching on fast food, and a trace of embarrassment involuntarily appeared in his heart.
In his eyes, the most ordinary enjoyment has become a dream object for them to be willing to give everything to pursue. The huge difference between them can be painful, but Phyllis is now on the verge of her dreams - though I don't know if there will be a next time.
And what he can do is to meet her requirements as much as possible in this short one day.
