Hearing this, Luna's tone became slightly angry:

"Mr. Scheele just suffered an accident while traveling at sea and lost his piano and luggage. In order for him to travel with the caravan to Tia City, I agreed to pay a gift of 50 pounds. You should not question it. A big personal decision for me.”

The tall girl standing in front of her stared wide-eyed:

"You decided to donate 50 pounds? And let him go with you to Tia City?"

"It is indeed an important decision, especially considering your financial situation." Another girl in the seat who was also full of youthful vitality also smiled and said, "From the perspective of private expenses, this is your freedom, but sister, Your money is so easy to cheat”

"No, no, no." The standing girl played with the revolver, "An, you should understand that she is only free to be defrauded of money, not to decide to follow the caravan."

"No! I think it's okay to go with us." An, who was sitting in the seat, leaned back, put his hands on pillows, and put a pair of tight long legs on the coffee table in front of him, "Camilla, don't you think, this Scheler Your appearance is very charming. And how did you come up with the idea of ​​using only a purple metal wire to play the role of a troubadour? I think this is too cute..."

"I don't like melancholy boys, and that doesn't stop his talk about missing musical instruments from being very clichéd." Camilla's expression under the sunhat was half-smiling, "Ann, those handsome boys who are pursuing you, They will be very sad after giving you so many affectionate gifts and not hearing any 'charming' comments from you."

"I have praised the word 'cute'." An said, "Of course, I just expressed my own aesthetics, not even made suggestions. I believe that we will meet many melancholy and charming people like Sherer in Tia City. boy."

Next to him, Trovay was fast asleep due to drunkenness, while Fanning, with a face full of interest, leaned on the railing, played with the strings, and watched the two beautiful young girls arguing playfully.

Questioning other people's careers, commenting on other people's looks, and discussing emotional experiences in public places are not considered the civilian class. This would appear very frivolous in Tioline's etiquette evaluation. However, it is obvious that the cultural differences between the northern and southern continents , as far apart as their geographical location.

At this time, a tall man wearing a light leather hat and carrying a sword and a pistol walked up to Chretien, the head of the family, leaned over and whispered a few words.

The man himself thinks quietly.

In fact, in the waking world where the concentration of inspiration is extremely low, the dispersion and perturbation of mental thoughts are extremely obvious. Fan Ning has recovered 12% of the ultimate "candle" spiritual awareness and can clearly "hear" what he said. What is——

"Promise to follow him."

Fan Ning was a little surprised.

This man dressed up like a retro knight

Although judging from his sentence structure, it seemed that he had acquiesced in the logic of "deceiving an ignorant little girl and making demands through her mouth", but he directly made the suggestion of acceptance without explanation.

Moreover, Chretien's serious nodding expression seemed to be extremely trusting and respectful to the other party.

"Then, welcome Mr. Scherer." The vice-president of the Mising Chamber of Commerce made the decision immediately. "Luna has represented the Chretien family's generosity, which is good. When Trois wakes up, ask him to arrange the house." Mr. Le’s meals, accommodation and transportation.”

Luna twirled the blood-colored jade bracelet on her wrist in confusion, as if she couldn't figure out the connection. In her expectation, even if her father reluctantly agreed in the end, she should have to bear the expenses of food and accommodation arrangements.

I was already prepared to actually pay more than 50 pounds.

The eldest sister Camilla and the second sister Ann stopped arguing loudly. The latter raised her head and made a playful expression of looking up to the sky.

After the man made the suggestion, he walked up to Fan Ning with a faint smile, took off his light leather hat, held down his sword and saluted:

"Henry Massenegu, whose hometown is in the Paradogos Islands and is an explorer by profession. This journey is the 'guide' entrusted by the Chretien family. It's a pleasure to meet him."

Explorer? The client? Guide?

It sounds like this Masenegu is not yet a member of their family, but rather a consultant who accepts entrustments and receives remuneration.

Luna's decision was obviously met with skepticism. Why would he give positive advice? And was it adopted by his employer Chretien?

"Hello." Fan Ning responded to his greeting while thinking in her heart. This was the first time she spoke after meeting everyone.

"What kind of water does Mr. Scheele like to drink?" Massenegou invited Fanning to sit at Chretien's table, and he also sat down next to him.

"Please do as you please." Fan Ning said.

There is no such thing as afternoon tea in the hot South China.

Cooling drinks can replenish moisture and restore energy. They are as important as air and should be kept with you all day long. So much so that they have been completely generalized in idioms and have become literal expressions for "cold water" and "drinking water".

"Three cups of chocolate avocado."

Masenegu turned and shouted towards the water bar.

"Add a glass." An, who was resting her hands on the pillow, retracted her long legs from the table, and moved to Fan Ning's table to sit down.

The waiter brought four large glasses and took away the eight shining silver shillings lined up on the table.

Through the thin mist on the wall of the cup, you can see the large pieces of light green avocado puree, as well as the drenched brown and black chocolate sauce.

Fan Ning thanked him naturally, picked up a glass, scooped out a large piece with a spoon and put it into his mouth, then raised the glass and took a sip.

"Isn't it refrigerated?" In the scorching summer wind, he felt that the temperature was very cool, but it was still far from the freezing point.

It looks like 10 or 20 degrees.

"Ice cubes cannot really relieve the heat. In this kind of weather, they can easily hurt the stomach and intestines. People can look at the table full of fine wine and seafood for days in a helpless way and sigh...Only vulgar country people will seek the stimulation of ice cubes." , this is as stupid as those toad-licking guys, oh, sorry! I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about us southerners..."

Masenegu explained with an elegant smile, but later he was worried about misunderstandings and clarified again and again.

Fanning didn't mind. In fact, he was confused about what "those toad-licking guys" meant.

"Mr. Scheele is a foreigner, and he may have tasted the cold water that is said to come from the south, but it may not be authentic." Marseille returned to the original topic, "Most of the cold water here does not add ice cubes. The water is not pure water but 'folk herbal tea', which is brewed from various leaves and fruits. Although the concentration of ingredients is low, the taste and effect are different, and it can be regarded as a cold water variety in itself..."

"The herbs you add to the process include mint leaves, noni fruit, cinnamon leaves, hibiscus flowers, and a very small amount of white ginger and shallots. The choice of the origin of the milk also requires knowledge, and it needs to serve the blending properties of different cold waters. Because of the avocado here It has a very thick fat taste, so the low-fat milk from Palmyra Ranch is more suitable..."

Fan Ning raised his glass again and took a sip.

First there is the fragrant sweetness of chocolate sauce, and then the dense and thick avocado puree. Just when the taste is about to fall into the conventional sweetness, the cool and refreshing juice instantly occupies the second half of the taste buds, and the right amount of milk makes them They are connected together without any sense of conflict. The missing water and energy are being restored, and the body is slightly excited.

He nodded with deep understanding and felt that for such quality, the price of 2 shillings was really cheap.

When I was tinkering with the afternoon tea at Turner Art Hall, I collected many exotic drink recipes in various ways, including chocolate avocado juice from the Southern Continent.

But obviously, such authentic details are all knowledge blind spots for senior tea master Congreve. For example, when he beat avocados, he added ordinary water, and Kaplan took it for granted that "it must be used in southern drinks." "Add ice cubes"... The amazing thing is that the leading ladies and musicians were able to drink to their heart's content, and the flute lady even asked for another drink...

Looking back at certain moments, a faint smile appeared in Fan Ning's eyes under her long hair, the first time after waking up.

An thought he was smiling melancholy at herself, so she stretched out the glass in his hand:

"Mr. Scheler, I want to ask you if you sing well? Can you write poems and music on the theme of 'Palace Love'? Have you ever sung for a girl you like?...Also, which one do you know how to sing?" Instrument? Guitar? Lute? Accordion? "

"Ding——" Fan Ning clinked glasses with this girl who exuded youthful vitality.

With the past lingering in his mind, his smile did not diminish, and his tone was calm and gentle:

"A little bit of both."
