Frost Axe returned to Hearthstone Tavern late at night.
Careful calculation of the time, he has been coming to this tavern for almost two years.
Now Hearthstone Tavern has opened many branches in Nolan, and he has basically visited it, but this one is still the Hearthstone Tavern he is most familiar with.
Familiar with Frost Axe, as soon as he entered the door, he went directly to the back kitchen of the tavern.
"Is there any air-dried meat tonight, hurry up and give it to me... Joshua?"
Frost Axe pushed open the kitchen door and found that there were slightly more people in the kitchen.
"We've already demolished the house with the long ears, and it took a while to dispose of the waste."
Frost Axe rubbed the dust on his rosacea and came all the way to Qiao Xiu's side and looked up at the food on the table.
"What are you doing? Bread with meat?"
"It's a fried chicken burger to be precise, it's actually no different from a bun with meat."
Joshua and the chef at Hearthstone Tavern studied this thing in less than half an hour.
The chef hired by Mrs. Marina is very professional, at least proficient in the cuisine of many countries in cooking, and even the cuisine of Daxia has been deeply studied.
"How much does this thing cost?"
Frost Axe looked a little hungry, otherwise he should have started a new journey up the ladder in the tavern hall for the first time.
"It's free for the time being, you can try the Frost Axe."
Joshua wanted to try the taste of the world's first fried chicken burger for himself.
The old dwarf had just returned from the Forgotten Lands construction site, and Joshua didn't mind giving him this less-than-honorable achievement.
Frost Axe didn't shirk, directly picked up the hamburger on the table and took a bite, the first one... Then Frost Axe didn't even swallow the contents of his mouth when he took the second bite.
This terrifying eating appearance has clearly told Qiao Xiu that he has no time to evaluate the taste of this thing.
It took Frost Axe less than ten seconds to solve the world's first fried chicken burger.
When he swallowed everything in his mouth, Frost Axe immediately asked again, "Anything else?"
"Sure, but it doesn't get you to eat for free all the time... for a hamburger."
When Joshua said this, he turned his eyes to Madam Marina.
In terms of the pricing of dishes, she should be able to say a suitable price.
Madam Marina immediately gave Josh a six-sign.
"One serving costs six silver coins."
When Joshua said the price, Mrs. Marina showed a panicked expression.
When she opened her mouth to correct Joshua's mistake, Frost Axe had already taken out a pile of gold coins and lined up on the table one by one.
"Give me ten first." Frost Axe said.
"Go ahead and do it, leave us alone."
Joshua told the cook in the kitchen that he was instructed to immediately start processing the remaining chicken ingredients on the table as before.
After the chef knew the method, he made it very fast. Frost Axe ate the first three servings at an astonishing speed, and started to burp when he reached the fourth serving.
"The rest on the plate, it's been a long night."
Nolan's dwarves' biological clock is completely different from that of humans. They can go without sleep for up to four days, and then make up all the lost sleep in one day.
In the end, Joshua could only watch Frost Axe walk out of the kitchen with three burgers on a tray.
"Mr. Joshua... The price you set is too high." Mrs. Marina ran to Joshua immediately after seeing the Frost Axe and said, "All the ingredients you used are less than three silver coins."
"What do you think is a suitable price, then go and talk to Frost Axe and give him the money back."
Joshua glanced at the fire-breathing chicken on the table. This chicken was about the size of a smaller ostrich. It would not be a problem for one chicken to make a hundred hamburgers.
Mrs. Marina made a small calculation in her heart. When she was going to take the money to find Frost Axe, the door of the tavern was pushed open again.
"Mrs. Marina, those dwarves outside said they would add fifty more... that kind of bread with meat, and they also said that it must be the same as Patriarch Frost Axe." The attendant said in a panic.
This time, it was Mrs. Marina's turn to look at Joshua with astonished eyes, and she almost forgot how shocked she was for the first time she had done something for this Chaos Demon.
"The dwarves of the Black Rock Clan said they needed more." Another attendant ran into the kitchen, and he put a whole bag of gold coins on the table more directly.
"Do it, you can't let the guests wait there."
With Joshua's words, the only cook left in the kitchen immediately started to move.
"These gold coins can buy nearly 500 copies, Mr. Qiao Xiu... There are simply not enough white turkeys in the ingredients warehouse."
Mrs. Marina picked up the purse with the imprint of the Black Rock Clan, and made a rough estimate of the gold coins inside to make this judgment.
"Then change to other meat ingredients. You have to coordinate with the dwarves outside, and there is only one chef in the kitchen that can't handle it. What about the others?"
Joshua glanced at the chef, no matter how experienced he was, he was in a hurry to deal with this sudden surge of orders.
"I will contact the other chefs who have gone home, but... they may be in a bit of a hurry, Mr. Joshua, your dinner today... "
Mrs. Marina remembered that Joshua first came to the kitchen to cook dinner himself.
"Give me a pot and seasoning, and by the way, find some meat and cut it into thin slices, as well as vegetables and the like, and bring it directly upstairs."
Joshua pondered for a while and then gave up his plan to fight for food with those dwarves.
"Joshua, I'm a little full..."
Ciri was still nibbling on a vegetable that looked like a cauliflower in her hand. Ciri had already eaten raw vegetables in the kitchen this evening.
"It should be fine to eat a little more."
While Joshua was talking with Ciri, the kitchen was already busy.
Mrs. Marina made more attendants into the kitchen to work.
Joshua didn't bother the cooks, he just picked out a large looking pot in the kitchen and left the kitchen.
…
The Prophet was thinking about what he had done all day today.
During the day, she took her apprentices to participate in the assessment of Nolan's spell caster, and at the same time handed over the 27 kinds of potions she had refined to the alchemist guild for testing.
At noon and afternoon, I followed Joshua to make strange drinks. Due to the high commercial value of drinks, the Prophet didn't think he was wasting time.
It's night... Joshua has made another brand new item.
The Prophet stood on the stairs and watched the dwarves on the first floor holding a hamburger in their hands. She was basically sure that this thing might also sell well in the future.
"His Royal Highness Qiao Xiu, I think you can separate and sell these foods of yours."
The Prophet walked upstairs again, and in the corridor outside the second floor, Qiao Xiu had already set up a hanging pot.
Under the hanging pot, the scorching stone exuded scalding heat, and the soup in the pot kept tumbling.
"Let's put aside the business affairs and eat tonight's dinner. Aren't you hungry, Prophet?" Joshua threw a wooden bowl to the Prophet.
The Prophet firmly caught the wooden bowl. She wanted to answer Qiao Xiu, "I'm not hungry."
But the fragrance of the soup from the hanging pot finally gave her a desire called "appetite", and the saliva secreted from her mouth made the prophet obediently carry a small stool and sit next to it.
"Does this soup really need so many peppers?"
Taelin, who had just finished sharing her evening story, also joined the hallway dinner party.
At this time, the white cat also jumped onto the small wooden table where Qiao Xiu put the seasoning. When it was about to touch the pepper in the seasoning with its small paws, Tailin immediately took it down from it.
"Mildly spicy is my last compromise. If you really can't do it, Tailin, I can cook you another pot of clear soup."
Joshua poured a lot of strange seasonings into it again.
"Clear soup... slightly spicy? There are so many differences in the taste of this soup?"
Taelin glanced at the Prophet on the table opposite her. The Prophet had already picked up a spoon and was going to make a bowl to satisfy his hunger.
"This can't be considered soup, only chili water?"
Ciri looked at the red liquid tumbling in the country and gave it a more accurate evaluation.
Chili water is back to chili water... But the unique aroma emanating from it still made Ciri unable to hold back his saliva.
"The exact name of this thing is hot pot, uh... It should be called hot pot."
There is no special table in the Hearthstone Tavern, and Qiao Xiu can only use this method of hanging the pot, and then attach a circle of fireproof inscriptions beside it.
"Choose the seasoning as you like, and then put the thinly sliced meat in it and cook it for a while, and the same goes for vegetables."
In order to demonstrate, Qiao Xiu used chopsticks to pick up a thinly sliced piece of meat and put it in the red soup and boiled it for a few seconds.
The hot soup cooks the meat in an instant.
Ciri didn't hesitate to follow Joshua's demonstration and poured a whole plate of sliced meat into it.
Tailin was much quieter, she just put some vegetables in it, and then fed it to the white cat sitting on her lap.
On the other hand, the Prophet seems very laborious. She rarely uses chopsticks to eat, and this time the use of the action is very awkward.
"Two wooden sticks... difficult to balance."
The Prophet watched Ciri quickly take away the pieces of meat floating on the soup, and the whole person seemed a little impatient.
"This still needs to be adapted slowly, but don't worry... There is still a lot of meat, enough for the four of us to eat."
Joshua handed the Prophet a spoon, which gave her a slight edge in the battle with Ciri.
"What are you eating?"
A pitch-black crow flew into the corridor window, and then took the shape of a dark elf with a stack of documents in his hands.
But when he saw Qiao Xiu holding the wooden bowl, he threw the document directly on Qiao Xiu's table.
"hot pot?"
"What new food? I just heard today that you made a strange drink."
The dark elf took a spare tableware and a small stool and sat next to the hanging pot, joining the battle for the meat slices.
"A thousand faces, your spies are all... I heard that this word is not suitable."
"Thank you for the compliment."
The dark elf came here to find Joshua for business, but after she tasted the first slice of meat, she completely forgot about the business.
When the dark elves joined the battle, the prophet's situation became more passive. Fortunately, Taelin was a vegetarian, and she was not very interested in the meat floating on the surface of the soup.
"Mr. Joshua, three ladies who claim to be your acquaintances want to see you."
Madame Marina went up to the second floor at this moment and said to Joshua.
"Three of my acquaintances? I have quite a few acquaintances... Who are they?"
"Of course it is me!"
Saint Heluria from the Kingdom of the Holy Religion stuck her head out from behind Madam Marina, and Joshua only said a word the moment he saw Heluria.
"Mrs. Marina, see you off." Joshua made a decisive judgment.
"Don't you want to know more about the whereabouts of the Inquisitors? Joshua Arnorrod."
After being rejected by Joshua, Hololia put away the character of the energetic girl before.
"In no mood."
Joshua once again answered Heluria very simply and bluntly.
"I have a clue here that might save the world." Heloria threw a condition again.
"Mrs. Marina, please send the girl and her friends home, they are lost."
Joshua also saw Messiah who was following behind Helolia.
"This... Mr. Qiao Xiu, there is another distinguished guest downstairs, I really can't drive him away." Mrs. Marina's voice sounded a little uneasy.
"VIP?"
Joshua glanced at the dark elf, she nodded and affirmed that this was the reason why she came here.
Messia stepped aside, and the person who had been standing behind her pulled back the hood on her head. It was the King of Frostland, Sheil.
"Joshua, the judge is trickier than I thought."
Sheila passed Mrs. Marina and came to Joshua and said.
"Anyway, you can find a chair and sit down first, and let me talk after dinner."
Joshua didn't expect that this fellow Heluria would win over Sheier.
But thinking about it carefully, Sheil regarded the Inquisitor as his greatest enemy, and Heluria proved to her that she was also the Inquisitor's enemy, and there was still room for the two countries to negotiate.
"Have you... have you eaten?"
Joshua watched Sheier sit beside the hanging pot with a serious face, while Helolia tried her best to be reserved.
As a guardian knight, Messi can only stand next to Heluria, after all, this is the base camp of the devil.
"No." Sheil shook his head and said.
"That… "
Joshua hesitated for a moment, but handed Sheier and Heluria a bowl and chopsticks.
"Don't hold back, Miss Misey."
Joshua handed a new wooden bowl and chopsticks to Messiah.
"I already ate tonight..."
"Miss."
When Messi wanted to refute Joshua in a righteous manner, Helolia's words could only make her sit down obediently, pulling her chopsticks and bowl to face the pot of soup that looked so spicy that it would kill her. .
