174, Chapter 174
Ian was lying in the carriage with a good face. Even with his eyes closed, his brows were still frowning, as if something very annoying was lingering in his heart.
But it is true that he is facing a very difficult problem.
Ian has a mermaid girlfriend who was rescued at an auction. The girl has long golden fish tails, a stunning face, and is simple and ignorant of the world. It is really the greatest happiness of a man to get her.
But unfortunately she is a mermaid, a princess under the sea, but she is also very weak.
She also likes Ian. In order to live on land with the loved ones for a long time, she goes to trade with the witch at the cost of her life.
The mermaid felt very happy, but Ian didn't want her to die. In a conversation with an archbishop in the cardinal, Ian learned that the underwater witch had a magical magic weapon.
It is a crystal-like bead, called the Heart of Crystal.
As long as he gets this thing and gives it to the mermaid, she will have a very long lifespan and the previous crisis will be resolved.
Ian sent someone to find him from the beginning. He was already an earl and had countless capable people under his command and didn't need to do it himself. But what was surprising was that his subordinates were almost caught, but she actually ran away!
Just run away, you can never find it again!
It seemed as if it disappeared from the seabed, or even from this world, it was so weird!
Ian didn't find her, and even looked for the black magician to divine where she was. She often couldn't find her place, but occasionally she found her several times, but when she arrived, she was still empty and she didn't see anyone in the end.
Several years passed, and as the mermaid reached its final life span, he went out to search for it himself. In just a few years, he also took over this Western land and collected a few beautiful women, but still couldn't find the octopus monster Doris, known as the underwater witch.
A few months ago, the mermaid had only been able to hold on, and she just wanted to go back to McCar County, where the two had decided at the beginning.
Ian had no choice but to agree, so he brought a group of subordinates and women back here.
The carriage staggered into the city, and Ian lay on it, beside her a gentle and well-behaved mermaid. She has been living for a while and is still sleeping.
At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and the curtain was blown up, bringing a strange fragrance.
Ian was excited and sat up suddenly, as if he had discovered something magical, and looked out quickly. He saw a shop just passing by on the street with a lot of barbecue?
If you look closely, in addition to barbecue, there are also grilled corn, grilled oysters, and grilled shrimp...
These things were skewed with wooden sticks and were roasted on the grid by charcoal fire. A big beard skillfully sprinkled various ingredients on it. The fragrance suddenly became more intense with some powder he sprinkled.
Ian took a deep breath, his eyes were full of glossiness, and he forgot his worries and said in surprise: "Stop!!!"
The carriage suddenly stopped, and it was a carriage, with several carriages blocking the middle of the road, which attracted ordinary people who wanted to pass by to look over in surprise.
Ian reacted and jumped out of the car, instructing one of the servants to continue back with the carriage. He quickly walked to the shop he had just passed by.
At this time, the mermaid Agatha, who was still sleeping, felt her lover's departure, and struggled to wake up from her sleep, and wanted to find her as soon as possible.
Other women don’t want to get down after a long journey, but Agatha’s situation is special and may die at any time. She hopes that she will follow the one she loves in the last time.
So she was the only one who followed her down.
Halfway through running, Ian heard the movement, and when he turned around, he saw Agatha weakly being held by the servant. He hurriedly ran back and held her in his arms: "Why did you get out? Let's take a rest?"
", Ian, I want to be with you all the time." Agatha pulled his sleeve tightly.
Ian smiled helplessly, rubbed her short golden hair, and took her over with her.
As the two approached, Agatha sniffed the increasingly rich smell in the air, looked at the young man beside her, and asked with anticipation in her eyes: "Ian, what food is this?"
In her heart, Ian was very knowledgeable and knew a lot of knowledge that she didn't understand at all.
Ian did answer: "This is a barbecue, I didn't expect to see barbecue one day in this world."
Yes, Ian traveled through time.
He comes from a modern world. He travels here and he is just a rural boy who has been wiped out by the Temple of Light. He is bullied in the academy, but his luck is wrong and his talent is wrong. He also activates the golden fingers of cultivation. His body can automatically absorb magic in the air, and his cultivation speed is two or three times that of ordinary people.
Therefore, in the past few years, Ian was getting stronger until more than this year, for Agatha, he paused slightly.
It is precisely because of this that he is too busy and often encounters things and does not have time to study those foods. Of course, there is another difficulty that he has never seen this world. There are seasonings such as cumin.
Ian took Agatha to the stall and looked at the powder sprinkled by the chef on the barbecue, with a bit of green and gray, which was clearly cumin!
He took a deep breath, and the familiar smell seemed to bring him back to another world. The feeling of time and space disorder made Ian's heart beat several times faster than before. He was a little excited: "Hello, who invented this barbecue?"
The chef looked up proudly at him: "Young man, does it taste very good?"
Ian nodded: "Yes, very good, I like it."
"This is called barbecue, and it was the first one of our bosses to make it. She said she was churched by a nobleman." The chef sighed a little, "This is definitely the most generous nobleman, who actually handed over such powerful technology to a civilian."
Ian was even more excited, his heart seemed to jump out of his mouth, and his hand holding Agatha tightened, which caused the people around him to cry out in a low voice, and he came back to his senses, relaxed a little, and said, "Do you know who this noble is?"
The chef shook his head: "The nobleman did not disclose his name."
Ian was a little disappointed, so he heard the chef say enthusiastically: "Young man, do you want to eat it? This one is delicious, and the barbecue is very skillful. And this one is not the hard shell, but its meat is really delicious..."
The chef winked ambiguously: "This can make you more heroic late!"
Agatha blushed and buried her head in Ian's arms.
Ian, who had already trained to become cheeky, smiled calmly: "Okay."
The chef immediately turned around: "Man, the guest is here, come and greet me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone came out to greet him, and he smiled apologized: "I'm really sorry, there are many customers in the store. I hope the adults will blame you, please come in..."
Ian followed him in, and the two found a seat by the window to sit down. The room was already full of various barbecue scents. He took a deep breath and was full of nostalgia. He met his fellow villagers in a foreign land, so it would be great if he could actually meet.
He had to take care of the business of this store. It would be better if he could meet the boss. Thinking of this, he ordered a lot of things, a lot of meat skewers, and a lot of seafood barbecue. The clerk was so happy that he grinned and was so attentive that he was ashamed.
Ian also smiled and sent the menu back, waiting for the upcoming food with satisfaction: "Agatha, do you know? This food is from my hometown. Maybe I found a fellow villager. The red one of these ingredients is chili powder. I have been looking for it for a long time before... "
Agatha was not as happy as him. She was a mermaid and had always lived under the sea. She was not so aggressive. However, under the suppression of blood, marine creatures would not attack her, and would even respect her. She ate the purest seafood sashimi.
Now these foods that smell very strongly don’t please her, and she even feels a little comfortable with her nose.
She didn't show it, and snuggled in Ian's arms, listening to him obediently.
Until the food was delivered, the smell that was richer than the first time was facing the impact, she sneezed in discomfort: "Ah snee!"
The already weak body trembled, and Agatha's face was paler than Gang's eyes.
"Sorry." Ian patted her back with guilt and comforted her.
Agatha felt sweet in her heart and shook her head: "It's okay, it smells very special, maybe I will like it."
Ian immediately delivered the seafood barbecue she might have, saying, "You can try this tinned squid."
"Okay." Agatha looked at the sauce in front of her and dyed the squid into a strange color, and felt a little repulsive. Is it okay to eat raw? Humans are very strange, but she didn't want to refute her lover's expectations, so she opened her mouth delicately and bit off a piece.
The crispy/tender mouthful was filled with spicy taste, which made her tongue retract as if she was irritated, and her little face turned red: "Ian, my tongue hurts so much!"
At this time, Ian also picked up a portion of squid and ate it. The strong salty and spicy taste was mixed with a little sweetness. The crispy and tender taste of the squid seemed to be chewed crispy, but it was not as good as the iron plate squid I remembered, but it was already a very familiar taste to him!
He was immersed in the food when he heard Agatha's cry of pain and comforted him: "This is pain, this is spicy... No, it is also pain, um..." He was confused for a moment, and then explained: "Be afraid, this taste is still very wrong, you can eat it again?"
Agatha looked at him with tears in her eyes, but at his suggestion, she was trustworthy and nodded and ate the piece of meat that she had bitten but had not bitten down into her mouth.
The stimulating smell that was too adaptable made her focus all her energy on her tongue, and her face was so spicy that she was particularly adaptable, but she quickly tasted the taste.
In this sea, the squid is all fresh, with a salty taste and a little more seasoning. The salty taste is better and richer. If you feel it carefully, in addition to the salty and spicy taste, there is also a just right and attractive sweetness.
The squid was pressed and pressed by the iron plate. The flesh was tender and refreshing. Now it was even more firm and elastic. It was mixed with the ingredients even more. The spicy taste was not so obvious. It seemed that after it exceeded that level, she had adapted. Now she could only squid that made her stop.
After eating in one bite, Agatha's blue pupils became much bigger: "Ian, this is so delicious!"
Ian smiled proudly, feeling proud. This was something from his hometown. Seeing that Agatha could adapt to the taste, he took a garlic oyster, picked up the tender white meat inside and sent it to her mouth: "Try this, it's different from what you usually eat."
Agatha opened her mouth and ate it. It tasted completely different from squid. The garlic oysters tasted a little, salty and spicy, and there was an indescribable taste. The oyster meat was soft and glutinous like tofu, so tender that it didn't need to be used. It seemed to melt in its mouth.
The delicious sweetness of seafood mixed with the taste of the garlic hot sauce made her even more surprised: "Wow! This is delicious too!"
Ian ate one himself, and he ate it more roughly. He ate it in his mouth and swallowed it after a few bites. Then he picked up the skewers, grabbed the meat with his teeth, pulled the wooden stick with one hand, and used a little force. The tender meat came down from the stick, covered with cumin powder, chili powder, pepper powder and other ingredients into his mouth.
The familiar salty, spicy and delicious barbecue made him narrow his eyes. The meat was tenderer than imagined and it didn't take any effort to taste. Even children with bad teeth could chew it easily.
The meat must have been marinated in advance, and it has a salty flavor. It is mixed with cumin and other ingredients. It tastes strong, thick and tempting.
Ian tasted every one of them, then raised his chin slightly: "There is no delicious food in his hometown!"
