Chapter 53 - The investigation should be after lunch (on)
The shabby wooden door is painted with a red-bearded wine glass on the flickering signboard, mixed with roasted meat, fermented ale and sweaty smell, as if seduce guests to the door.
It’s not until noon. The sleepy little brother in the pub is still yawning and wiping the glass, and the boss counts last night’s credit after the counter. It wasn’t until I saw Loren and Ain walking in that they kicked on the **** of the younger brother and asked him to greet the guests quickly.
The silent Ain sat directly at the window, but it was Loren who interrogated a few carefully and then ordered something.
Although it is only a tavern, it is quite quiet because it is not yet evening. It was probably Lorento who tipped a silver coin, and the attentive little brother of the tavern quickly delivered the items.
Fragrant lamb chops, cinnamon-baked apples, fried golden crispy smoked fish and bread stacked together, plus two large glasses of rye wine and two baked potato pies-classic pub food, simple but attractive Coveted.
Especially baked potato pie, this dish can make serious people like Dalton can’t help but want to try it, naturally it is not unreasonable.
First prepare some fresh meat, of course pork can be better than beef. Wring the meat into a puree, add a small spoon of olive oil and stir fry until the meat is white. Put the diced onion and minced garlic according to the taste until the color of the onion is completely transparent.
Then add a small glass of wine, a small glass of water, slowly wait for the pot to open, add thyme to start cooking, wait quietly for about 20 minutes.
Wait for the water in the pot to evaporate to about half, then put in the flour, stir clockwise to make the gravy gradually thicken. The thicker the soup, the more delicious the final taste. Sprinkle some salt evenly. If there is pepper, especially black pepper, it will be even better. The thick, spicy and pungent taste will make the appetite more attractive.
Mash the cooked potatoes to make mashed potatoes. Add butter and fresh milk and mix well. Then put the beef on a platter, spread the mashed potatoes that have been prepared, add some grated cheese according to taste, and finally send it to the oven, everything is fine.
Overall, it ’s not a laborious food, but it ’s really a delicious dish—the unique fluffy and pliable mashed potatoes of ground meat are combined together, and the thick and thick gravy penetrates into the whole pie and sprinkles outside. Broken cheese blooms in the mouth together. Even those who have just woke up soon will have an appetite in front of this enticing fragrance.
Enjoying the delicious taste in his mouth, and then drinking a mellow rye, Loren was quite satisfied with the meal, and reluctantly dipped the remaining gravy in the dish with bread and sent it to his mouth. Then he looked up at the little wizard who was still silent.
“You are here for the second time, how are you feeling?”
“Uh? I … okay, okay.” The slightly shy little wizard lowered his head like a frightened squirrel: “The last time I came with Dalton, I ate these things too … “
Fool, fool, fool, what am I talking about? ! The little wizard kept scolding himself in his heart. Is this what he should say when eating with others? !
Speaking of it, why did he agree with him if he was confused? Shouldn’t he hold back at this time? No no no … It should be too weird, why only invite yourself without bringing Isaac together? Could it be that he was discovered, and he was going to expose himself in private? otherwise……
Thinking about the little wizard, the blue eyes almost turned into mosquito coils, even the wine glass was poured, and the black ale would be spilled on the big wizard robe in no time.
“what–!!!!”
Likely, Loren suddenly got up and grabbed the glass that was about to fall, and his face was almost in front of Ain. The screaming little wizard froze, and he could feel the other person’s breathing faintly on his cheek.
“What are you thinking?” Loren smiled and put the glass in front of Ain again, then picked up his own: “Come with me for a drink.”
“Uh? But, but …” The little wizard who just wanted to pick up the glass was stunned: “You certainly don’t come out just to eat a meal, right?”
“Of course.” Nodded for granted, but Loren marveled at the other person’s unparalleled intuition: “There are mainly some things, I think it may be better to tell you.”
He found it, he did! The little wizard shouted again and again in the bottom of his heart, but his face was still calm, but his hands were still shaking.
“Isaac found some clues from the spell book. The wizard who assassinated Father Anthony is likely to have visited this pub, so I speculate that there may still be traces of each other here.” Loren said quietly : “So I plan to come here to investigate.”
“Just like this?” Ain asked, not sure if it was disappointment or relieved.
“I was going to come with Isaac, but in this kind of thing … I think you should be more careful about Ain, maybe you can find some places that I can’t detect, so I have to trouble you again.” Luo Lun Yinqin smiled, but there was a flash of awareness in the corner of his eyes: “Although it is not appropriate to say so, I believe you more than Isaac.”
It turned out that … the little wizard who was a little relaxed, but there was a trace of pride in his heart-indeed, he still believed me more. Well, no matter what, I must be more careful than the pretentious idiot.
“What should I do?” Ain, who was nervous, couldn’t help but ask.
“Don’t worry, wait until this meal is finished.” Loren, who was sipping rye, said very leisurely: “Enjoy a good meal, then we will start again.”
The helpless little wizard had no choice but to continue to hold the wine glass in his hand, drinking one bite at a time. Looking at the leisurely Loren, there seemed to be nothing to do with “loose” there. Annoyed.
Really, I … how anxious than this guy?
The time gradually came to noon. Loren, who ate clean bread, still didn’t mean to leave his seat, but there were more and more people in the tavern. At the beginning, Ain, who was still able to sit, was surrounded by noisy conversation and pungent sweat, and his mood was getting more and more anxious.
Until then, Loren stood up and walked to the pub owner who greeted guests in the lobby ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ and the other party explained a few words, the boss didn’t seem to understand. Then Loren said it several times, and discussed with him very patiently. Several times the other party wanted to leave and was pulled back by Loren again.
Finally, the tavern owner was completely anxious. Obviously, the time at noon could not be wasted on such a guest. He directly stuffed Loren with a bunch of keys, and pushed and shoved him upstairs. Loren stood with a helpless expression On the stairs, beckoning towards the small wizard who was still in position, the impatient Ain immediately followed.
“What the **** are you doing?”
“I need all the porter keys for this pub.” Loren shook the keychain in his hand: “Now I have it.”
“All the porter keys?” The little wizard was confused: “What do you want these to do?”
“The oil stains on the spell book are on the pages, so I speculate that the other party should have accidentally gotten up while eating in the room!” Loren quickly walked to the first room to open the door while explaining: “Normal wizards don’t read their spell books in a large audience.”
“But it’s a pity that with such a little clue I can’t tell which room it is, so I need all the room keys!” Loren had already opened the door when he was talking, and then threw the key directly to Ai because.
“Noon is the best time for business here, and the pub owner has no time to ask; most of the guests who stayed in the restaurant last night should have eaten downstairs, so only now, we can have time to search all the rooms and not be left unattended. Find!”
“But what if someone is in the room?”
“Stun him!” Luo Ethics said of course: “We are now fighting for the college’s survival, who cares about this ?!”
