The Demon’s Menu

Chapter 29: Breakfast (please recommend~please collect~)

Views:

Through the curtains, the sun shone on Jason's face.

The warmth woke Jason up from his sleep quickly.

Then…

He felt hungry.

It seems that because of the awakening of the talent [Predator], Jason found that he could not only eat more food than before, but also digest it extremely quickly.

According to his previous food intake, he ate so much food yesterday, not to mention feeling hungry, it would be good if he didn't have indigestion.

And now

Coo, coo.

There was a roar in the stomach.

Without any hesitation, driven by hunger, Jason quickly got up, washed, and then pushed the door out.

In the kitchen in his room, there was nothing to eat except water.

Only some of the remaining black pepper is also used on [Grid Tungsten Hound].

The police dormitory also doesn't provide breakfast - Jason had already asked Finch yesterday, and similarly, he also asked which one of the nearby breakfasts was worth going to.

Greeting police detectives and police officers along the way, Jason quickly walked out of the police station and walked straight to the intersection described by Finch.

Jason could smell the food from afar.

After turning the corner, he saw the 'Yanan Food Shop' surrounded by many people.

There is a food shop in the name, but it is a mobile vendor.

The boss is a lame middle-aged man with thinning hair and signs of age on his face, but he has a kind smile.

"what do you need?"

"French fries or crisps? Coffee or pea soup? Sandwiches, meatloaf? I also have salted eels and grilled herring!"

"Of course, you can also choose better pies and gingerbread, and today's finale: pineapple."

The other party looked at Jason who was coming, and asked enthusiastically.

Jason nodded first, greeted the other party, and then glanced at the blackboard standing in front of the dining car.

It says so-

Chips (Potato Chips): 1 Copper Corner.

Coffee or pea soup: 2 copper horns.

Sandwich or Meatloaf: 3 copper corners.

Salted eel: 1 copper gram and 1 copper horn.

Grilled herring: 1 copper gram.

Pie (full serving of fruit): 6 cu grams.

Gingerbread: 5 copper grams and 2 copper horns.

Pineapple (quartered): 8 grams of copper.

As Finch said, it's cheap and good.

According to the choice of ordinary people, most of them will choose sandwiches or patties, with a coffee or pea soup, and if necessary, add a French fries (chips). The total consumption is 1 copper gram and 2 copper corners. For a healthy, working adult man in the city, such expenses are not much.

However, Jason could see the people gathered in front of the booth looking at the blackboard with hesitation, and many of them even touched their pockets.

Apparently, even a modest expense is enough to make these reasonably well-dressed men hesitate.

After all, they need to support their families.

There are parents, wives and children at home, or sisters.

Jason didn't have these considerations, but he also had to save money.

Because, he needs to buy some necessary spices for cooking food.

And those spices are quite expensive.

"Five patties, two pea soups, and one salted eel."

Jason started ordering.

Then, he pointed out 6 copper grams and handed it to the boss.

"Are you here to buy breakfast for the family?"

"What a thriving family!"

"You must be the eldest in the family, right? How many younger brothers and sisters are there in the family?"

After receiving the money, the boss praised and asked with a smile.

Jason didn't explain, he chose to remain silent.

Moreover, after taking another large bag of food, he turned around and left.

When turning the corner at the intersection, Jason took out a piece of meatloaf, rolled it into a roll, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

The skin is crispy, and the meat filling inside is full of oil and water.

Definitely one of my favorite foods.

Especially the slightly salty split pea soup is quite good, and the onion rings in the soup became Jason's unexpected surprise.

The salted eel had a sticky feel, but the thorns were still there. After shaving off the thorns, Jason rolled them into the meatloaf and put them into his mouth together.

The taste is very good.

Fish and pork, two kinds of sensuality, with salt, Jason ate very happily.

It has been a long time since he had such a rich breakfast.

In the city that never sleeps

Always dry bread and water.

Next, according to the plan, Jason will go to the spice shop.

As long as he can use spices, Jason absolutely doesn't mind adding deliciousness to the food.

The spice shop is on Kensing Street, and it will take a lot of time to walk there. Jason plans to take the city's public carriage - this can be reimbursed, he asked Bondy.

Opposite the police station, there is a public carriage leading directly to Kensing Street.

Jason stood there quietly waiting for the public carriage.

In about three or four minutes, a public carriage pulled by two horses appeared in Jason's field of vision.

Different from private carriages, the carriages of public carriages are much larger and simpler, and the carriages are not entered from the side of the carriages, but from the back of the carriages, and the inside is nailed with wooden boards along the walls of the carriages to act as seats. , Of course, there is a similar arrangement on the door behind the carriage, although it is a bit in the way, but after all, it can seat one more person, which means charging an extra penny.

Over time, it is an objective income.

The entire carriage can take about 6-8 people of normal size.

The fare is calculated according to the station. For example, it takes 1 copper gram and 2 copper corners to go from the police station to Kensing Street. The price is not cheap, so it is not the choice for most people to go out.

As for the rich

These people naturally choose private carriages.

The carriage pulled over slowly, but before the driver could actually park the carriage, a figure pushed open the door, jumped out of the carriage, and ran straight to the police station.

The place where the other party jumped off the carriage was only more than one meter away from Jason.

Therefore, Jason saw very clearly that the other party was a lady with a beautiful face.

It's just that panic and fear are flooding this face at this moment.

Jason stared blankly at the back of the other party.

It's not because of the other person's appearance.

but...

Because of the aroma of food!

On the other side, Jason smelled a faint aroma of food.

That aroma is even more alluring than [Submariner].

Gudong.

Jason swallowed, and immediately changed his plan, ignoring the carriage parked in front of him, but chasing after him.

When Jason stepped into the entrance of the police station lobby, he saw the lady grabbing the arm of a young police officer and shouting loudly:

"Where's Mr. Bundy?"

"Where's Mr. Bundy?"

"I want to see him!"

The other party's voice was hoarse, and even shouting did not change this, which made the other party look hoarse.

"Ma'am, what happened?"

"Please calm down."

"This is the police station, we will ensure your safety!"

The young police officer reassured him.

However, it is of no use at all.

The other party was still saying 'I want to see Mr. Bondi' over and over again.

This made the young police officer very helpless.

Not to mention that Bundy just fell asleep at dawn, and it has been less than two hours now. Just because there is no normal registration, just a random person to inform Bundy, this is not in line with the case handling process.

And at this moment Jason came over.

The young police officer greeted immediately:

"Master Jason, good morning."

"morning."

After Jason answered, he looked at the lady, restrained his instinct to swallow the saliva that was secreting rapidly in his mouth, and showed an extremely sincere smile:

"Ma'am, maybe I can help you."
