"Good morning, Sister Luolan." Ye Ling, who was lying on the bed, rubbed her eyes, as if she had not slept enough.

“Chirp.”

A chubby bird crawled out from the bottom half of the quilt. As soon as it came out, it flapped its wings and flew into Loran Hill's arms, taking the girl a while to hold her.

Listening to the constant chirping of the Daiju, Loran Hill knew that this guy was wronged and complained bitterly about the abuse of Ye Ling, such as using it as a pillow, not allowing it to go out to find delicious food, and the high temperature emitted when it slept almost roasting it into a fat chicken, etc.

"Okay, okay, just sleep in my room today." Loran Hill comforted the chubby goldcrest in his arms with a smile. After a while, it finally calmed down.

"Dai Ju is complaining again." Ye Ling sat on the bed with her hands on her knees. Her hair hung down on her shoulders and back, a little messy, and there were some signs of being bent.

"Come on, get up and comb your hair."

Loran Hill pulled Ye Ling, who still wanted to continue sleeping, to the dressing table, then stood behind her and combed her hair carefully. He then used his hands to separate several thin strands and slowly weaved them into smooth and beautiful ponytails on both sides.

At first, Ye Ling's eyes were open, but soon his head moved up and down like a fish, sometimes waking and sometimes asleep, with his eyes hazy.

"The comb is done. Go eat something first and come back to sleep later." Loran Hill lifted Ye Ling with his hands and let the little guy stand up.

"Woo..." Ye Ling was a little more awake now. He grabbed Loran Hill's arm and walked out like a sleepwalker.

Looking at the little dragon lady beside him who was about to fall asleep at any moment, Loran Hill wondered whether he should just hold her in his arms, which would be more convenient.

But for now, let's try to lead the way.

The two first came to the hall. Loran Hill asked Ye Ling to sit on a sofa in a corner and asked Dai Ju to squat on her knees to look after her. Then she turned and went to the second floor to find the room where Wei Lengyan was.

After waking up his companion, Loran Hill took her downstairs, woke up the sleeping Ye Ling again, and then went out.

"Are there any good restaurants or eateries around here?" Loran Hill asked Wei Lengyan who was standing beside her. Wei Lengyan had arrived earlier than her and had been here for quite some time, so he should know more about the area.

"We went to this place before, and I thought the taste was very good, but..." She paused for a few seconds before continuing.

"It's just that the quality may not be very high." The man stroked the hair beside his ear a little embarrassedly.

In her opinion, it seemed a bit lowering for such a big shot to go there.

"Where is it? Can you tell me first?"

"It's a seafood restaurant on the east shore of the harbor."

"Seafood seems good too." Loran Hill actually rarely eats seafood, but occasionally he would think about trying something new.

"Why is seafood considered not high-end?" Loran Hill asked the person next to him while walking on the road.

"This is probably because many people are not used to the fishy smell of seafood," Wei Lengyan explained.

"The nobility of the dynasty paid great attention to smell, and the fishy smell of seafood was unacceptable to most people. Even if some cooking methods could suppress it, they would still require strong ingredients, which some people used to lighter flavors could not tolerate."

During the Plantagenet era, having a foul odor while meeting guests was considered extremely impolite, even considered disrespectful and offensive. Therefore, most high-ranking officials and nobles would deliberately avoid foods that could easily carry a foul odor. Furthermore, nobles would also refuse to eat onions and garlic, which are known to cause bad breath, in formal settings. These foods were only consumed at relaxed family dinners or when young people gathered together, when such things were not a concern.

"In fact, freshly caught seafood doesn't have a strong fishy smell. It's only after it's been left for a while that it develops an unpleasant taste."

"The restaurant I mentioned is right by the sea. Their ingredients are exceptionally fresh, which is much better. That's why I tried to recommend it to you, sir."

"I see." Loran Hill nodded thoughtfully.

She recalled what she had learned before. It seems that fish in the sea produce special substances in order to resist the high osmotic pressure of seawater. This is also the source of the freshness and fishy smell of most marine fish.

The world's freezing technology is not well developed nowadays, so it is normal that the nobles living inland do not like smelly sea fish.

After bringing Ye Ling and Wei Lengyan to the seaside restaurant, the three of them went directly to the fourth floor. It was still relatively early, and there were not many customers, so it seemed quite spacious.

Sitting at a table by the side, the open floor allows the sea breeze to pass through, and a comfortable feeling also spreads across the skin.

Because it is some distance away from the busy pier, it is not noisy here, and the large and small lights on the coast also embellish the night view, making it look not monotonous, but having a sense of dim lights.

After sitting down, Loran Hill asked Wei Lengyan to order the food, and he placed Ye Ling on the table so that she would not have to hang on his shoulder all the time.

Having said that, it felt like Ye Ling was a little heavier than before. Loran Hill poked the soft face with his fingers, and after a while, he put down his hand and looked at the night view outside the window.

After sitting and chatting for a while, the restaurant staff quickly brought out the prepared dishes one by one. Looking at the exquisite presentation, one couldn't help but feel pleasing to the eye.

Among them are light red and thin sashimi with perilla, sea cucumber cooked with papaya and kidney beans, braised abalone, charcoal grilled eel, swimming crab with scallions, and so on.

Sure enough, it is a good choice to try some fresh food occasionally. Even Loran Hill felt happy when he saw the delicious food on the table.

"It looks like there's something delicious." Although she was dozing off before, after Ye Ling smelled the fragrance, the little dragon girl suddenly became energetic and looked at the delicacies on the table with excitement.
