Mercenaries and Adventurers

Zhao Ji hurried back to the city, and the guards at the gate of the city were no longer surprised by this. Since Zhao Ji was able to hunt monsters continuously within two days alone, he had already obtained their approval. Not to mention that Zhao Ji gave them drinks to cool down and relieve the heat, which also got a little respect from the guards.

After returning to the Chamber of Commerce, Zhao Ji went directly to the restaurant for dinner. It was only when he came to the restaurant that he realized that it was not time to eat, so he came a little earlier. Generally speaking, the dinner at the chamber of commerce will start at dusk, and it will be dark just after people have eaten. With the official end of the day's work.

At this time, the chef and the cook were making preparations before the meal. Chef Whitier was chopping handfuls of fresh vegetables with a knife, and Aunt Dilu was washing a small copper pot that was not commonly used.

Seeing Zhao Ji came to the restaurant, Aunt Di Lu smiled and said: "Isn't this our hunting expert? You must be hungry. You came too early, so find a place to sit casually. It will be fine in a while, if you are hungry No, come and help me."

Zhao Ji, who was about to sit down, got up quickly and helped Aunt Dilu clean the copper pot. Zhao Ji looked at this scrubbed copper round belly pot as if he was looking at a lot of copper coins in front of his eyes. After scrubbing it clean, he couldn't help touching it, imagining that he was holding a lot of money. This copper pot with a round belly is still full, and the whole body is yellowed, but the workmanship is very fine, and there are unknown characters and patterns on the edge of the pot and the two handles.

The text is not the commonly used imperial script here. Although Zhao Ji doesn’t know much about the imperial script now, he can only recognize more than 200 common characters and dozens of special characters, but it is not the same as the one on the copper pot. The text obviously doesn't match the numbers. The ordinary characters that Zhao Ji learned are very common characters, and even one should not appear on the copper pot, unless it is another kind of characters.

The patterns on the copper pot are quite recognizable, they are all in the shape of common vegetables and fruits, only slightly distorted, but still recognizable. "Aunt Dilu, do you know the writing on this pot? What is written on it?" Zhao Ji asked Aunt Dilu who took out wooden tableware from the kitchen cabinet and put it in the dining room.

"I don't know, I don't know how to read, Keel. Whitnier!! What do the words on the copper pot say?" Aunt Dilu asked Chef Whitnier loudly.

Chef Whitier, who was chopping vegetables, didn't turn his head back and said, "It's some comforting words to pray to the gods to bless the food. It's not what I said, it's what the president said, then The copper pot belongs to the president, and he bought it when he was doing business in other places. Today, most of the people in the chamber of commerce have gone out to work, and there are few people, so the president said to eat something good."

Watching Chef Whitier put the cut vegetables in one basket and take out a processed fat chicken to fiddle with, Zhao Ji knew that today's meal seemed to take a while to be ready, but he He couldn't wait any more time, and if dinner wasn't ready before dusk, he wouldn't be able to leave the city, and tonight's battle would be in vain.

So he had to ask when the rice would be ready, and if he could eat it in time. If he can't make it in time, he can only find some dry food to satisfy his hunger.

"Chef Whitier, when can we cook?" Zhao Ji approached Chef Whitier and asked in a low voice.

"Haha, it's never too late for a good meal, let everyone see my craftsmanship today." The chef said excitedly to Zhao Ji.

Hey, we haven't eaten anything delicious in our previous life, can we look forward to your cooking skills?

"But I'm going to hunt slime monsters outside the city at night. Today is a good day for hunting. I've been preparing all day. I have to eat and leave the city before the city gate closes." Zhao Ji whispered to Whitney said the cook.

"A good day for the hunt? Can't it be tomorrow? Look at the fat chicken,

Here's another leg of lamb. The fat chicken is fried with fragrant vegetables, and the leg of lamb is marinated and grilled over charcoal fire. How delicious it is! Chef Whitier triumphantly showed Zhao Ji the fat chicken in his hand, and patted the marinated leg of lamb on the large wooden tray next to it.

Zhao Ji had no choice but to accept Chef Whitier's boastful talk, and after the latter continued to process the chicken, he sneaked to Aunt Di Lu and whispered what he had just said to her again.

Aunt Di Lu looked at Zhao Ji in surprise, and confirmed that Zhao Ji had some important things to do. After being unable to participate in the sumptuous dinner tonight, she took out a breadstick from the side cabinet and smashed it hard on the corner of the table. , break the breadstick into two sections.

Zhao Ji took half of the bread stick from Aunt Di Lu and tapped it with his fist. Bangbang's firm voice made him dumbfounded.

"Silly boy, you have no luck. But this bread stick is made of white wheat flour, not the rye flour we usually eat, which is much better. Take this as the top. Aunt Di Lu put the remaining half of the bread stick back into the cabinet, and motioned Zhao Ji to eat it for dinner.

"This is the food I specially baked for the Chamber of Commerce's transportation. Try it. It's delicious. I added some pine nut powder into it. The taste is different. When Jamura and the others tried it They all said it was delicious." Chef Whitier, who was playing with the fat chicken, turned his head and said, and then spread the chopped herbs on the fat chicken. Then he whispered something about why acorns are not tasty.

Zhao Ji thanked the two, put the breadsticks into his clothes, and helped Aunt Dilu put the candlesticks and candles into the empty space on the wall of the restaurant. After looking at the sky, he walked out of the restaurant and walked out of the city.
