6 ? The seventh store

6 The Seventh Store

◎Noodles, sleds and fried shrimps.◎

Dada and Zhuangyu no longer cared about their previous thoughts. They happily held hands and circled around the sealed bag.

The coldest time was coming soon. If they brought these foods back, the hunting team wouldn't have to go out every day.

When three moons appeared in the sky at night, the Nittian continent began to enter the cold and bleak dusk moon season.

The weather in the dusk moon season was bad and food was scarce. The tribe usually organized young and strong people to form a hunting team, which took turns to go out hunting and share the prey together.

Monk's parents passed away shortly after he was born. He grew up relying on the care of the tribe and always wanted to repay his tribe.

With these foods, it was the first step towards fulfilling his wish.

Lu Yao waited until their excitement had passed, and finally calmed down before speaking: "The food won't run away. If you stay at the hotel, exchange it for nitan coins here first."

Monk didn't bring anything to exchange, Zhuangyu took out the bacon, and Dada took out a piece of fur about three centimeters wide and five centimeters long from his small bag.

The fur was the most valuable, and it was exchanged for five nitan coins, and three pieces of bacon were exchanged for one nitan coin.

Lu Yao had a plan in mind, which might not be accurate.

She estimated that the value of a piece of fur was obviously greater than the bacon and the candy, and the value of the candy might be slightly higher than the bacon.

Dada and Zhuangyu were distressed to exchange the fine furs and bacon for six NEET coins. The cost of staying for one night was very high.

Lu Yao took them upstairs in the manual elevator, just like he guided Gan Li the day before.

The three red pigs stayed downstairs and were sent to the breeding shed by Harold.

They didn't have any extra luggage, so Lu Yao led them upstairs directly.

This small building still has only six rooms for the time being, four standard rooms on the second floor, and two double rooms on the third floor.

Monk and Dada stayed in the double room of 301, and Zhuangyu stayed alone in room 201.

Lu Yao was actually a little surprised. In the primitive civilization period, these little people seemed to have some advanced consciousness, such as gender consciousness.

Animals actually all have gender awareness, but humans' gender awareness is different from that of ordinary animals, and it carries many other ideas besides reproduction.

How similar are these little people to adults, and how different are they?

Lu Yao suppressed Piaoyuan's thoughts, first guiding the little people to learn to use the items in the room, and then began to prepare dinner.

Dinner time has passed, and Lu Yao was busy repairing roads and building fences today. He only prepared ingredients and did not prepare meals for the guests in advance.

It was too late, and there was only half a pot of bone soup left on the stove. It was actually very suitable for cooking noodles, but she didn't know if the little people liked noodles.

She went to the guest room area to inquire, and Monk opened the door a little, her hair was already wet: "Noodles? All right."

Lu Yao turned around and went back to prepare.

Ten minutes later, Monk, Dada and Chuangyu took a shower in their respective rooms, changed into pajamas provided by the hotel, and went downstairs in slippers.

The dining area on the first floor has six wooden tables, with the same wooden chairs, and windows on both sides.

The three of them chose a seat facing the window, from which they could see Lu Yao busy in the kitchen.

Lu Yao pushed a mini food cart over and handed in three white porcelain bowls that were larger than the guests' heads through the window.

An egg pancake poked out of the bowl, almost covering all the noodles, but the fragrance filled the air.

Monk hugged the bowl and took a deep breath in ecstasy: "What a nice smell!"

Dada and Chuangyu sat opposite Monk, staring down at the bowl in front of them, speechless.

This bowl of noodles was completely different from the noodles they knew.

Seeing them staring at the bowl of noodles in a daze, Lu Yao explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare enough tonight, so it's a bit simple. I'll make some delicious and filling meals tomorrow morning. You can eat first. If you don't have enough noodles, you can still eat more."

Monk picked up the chopsticks unskillfully and opened the egg pancake on the noodles. His eyes lit up. There was a lot of shredded meat underneath, which made him drool.

He couldn't wait to roll up a large ball of noodles, blew it twice anxiously, lowered his head and swallowed it in one gulp. When he raised his head again, his cheeks bulged like the cheek sacs of a golden bear. There was a circle of oil stains on his mouth, but he didn't notice it at all.

So... so delicious!

Dada and Zhuangyu couldn't help it anymore, and picked up the chopsticks and started to eat the noodles unskillfully.

After peeling off the layers of luxurious noodles, Dada saw the light yellow noodles buried at the bottom, and then he realized that they were not yam noodles.

Dada heard Monk say that the owner wanted to cook noodles for them, and thought it was the kind of yam noodles they could eat occasionally.

Yam is a plant that grows in the soil. The fruit at the root is small and round. It is hard and astringent when eaten raw, and has a soft and slightly bitter taste when cooked.

This kind of fruit is more common in the Nitian continent, and it is very hungry. It is a kind of staple food that the Nitian dwarfs prefer.

Only the dwarfs of the Xiaguang tribe know how to mash the hard yam into thin long noodles. The taste of yam noodles is better than that of yam itself. In addition, the method is complicated, so if you want to eat it, you have to take items of considerable value to the Xiaguang tribe to exchange.

Young dwarfs like Dada and Monk rarely have the chance to eat potato noodles.

Dada was still looking forward to it while taking a bath, as he hadn't eaten potato noodles for several years.

The noodles in front of him were not what he expected, but also far exceeded his expectations.

The noodles were thick, smooth and moist, each with thick soup, mixed with shredded pork and egg cakes, and this bite was divine!

Zhuangyu remained silent, only holding the big bowl of noodles and making the sound of "drinking" the noodles.

A few minutes later, she put down the bowl of noodles with the soup in it clean, and said proudly: "Another bowl!"

Monk: "I want one too!"

Dada: "I want another bowl too." Lu Yao

returned to the kitchen, took out a thin long noodle from the bag, cut it into three pieces, and threw it into the boiling pot.

Cooking three bowls of noodles from one noodle can feed three little guys.

While the noodles were cooking, she also made a quail egg pancake in a mini frying pan, drained the oil from the pan, and cut it into three pieces.

After eating two bowls of noodles with plenty of oil, the three kids had to hold on to the wall to return to their room.

At night, Dada slept in a soft, spacious and warm bed. Although he was extremely sleepy, he would always wake up suddenly at the moment when he was about to lose consciousness.

The sound of even breathing came from the bed next door. There was a bulge in the middle of the bed, like a silkworm pupa. Monk was sleeping soundly.

Dada asked in a restrained voice: "Monk?"

Monk turned over and wrapped the quilt tighter, without responding.

Dada lay straight in bed, unable to fall asleep. He mustered up the courage, put on his clothes, got out of bed, and opened the door.

Half of the lights outside the door were off, but the lights were still on at the end near the kitchen. No one else was there, only the owner was sitting under the light, doing something unknown, and the shadow cast on the wall was huge and terrifying.

The sound of "tut tut" came from that end from time to time, but it could not be heard in the room.

Dada took a deep breath, closed the door and walked out, hesitated in the corridor, and stared at Lu Yao's back quietly.

Lu Yao seemed to sense something, turned around and saw him, a little surprised: "Did I disturb you?"

Dada shook her head stiffly, her eyes fixed on her hands: "What are you doing?"

Lu Yao stood up and turned on the light, the dazzling light dispelled the strange imagination that came with the night.

Dada's tense body suddenly relaxed.

Lu Yao pointed downstairs and said in a low voice: "If you can't sleep, you can come over from there."

Dada hesitated for a moment, went downstairs alone, turned left and walked straight, and stopped under a blue-gray wall.

He found that there was a door here, just big enough for a small person to pass through.

Behind the door was flat, spacious and empty. Next to the wall were several piles of stone bricks with regular edges and some long pipes of unknown use, as well as a half-built wall.

Dada didn't know there was such a huge space next to the guest room.

The owner was sitting over there, busy at his desk.

Some strange thoughts popped up in Dada's mind. The place where their dwarf tribe lived and rested seemed like objects randomly placed in the nests of adult humans.

Maybe this is also the reason for his insomnia tonight.

Dada walked for a long time before he came to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao was sanding a wooden board with sandpaper, and there was a drawing next to him.

Dada looked down. This strange skin was snow-white in color, bigger than the bed he slept on, and thinner than the animal skin they usually used.

He couldn't understand the pattern on it, but recognized that the three piglets in the painting were the red pigs unique to their tribe.

Dada asked again: "What are you doing?"

Luyao put a few wooden boards together and showed a satisfied look: "I plan to make a small sled for you to use when you go back."

Hearing that Monk lost his food on the road last time and was particularly frustrated, Luyao thought of this idea to make a mini sled with wooden boards and metal sheets. It just so happened that they had three red pigs and had the strength to pull the sled.

Dada didn't understand what a sled was, nor why Luyao wanted to make this, so he subconsciously asked the question he cared about most: "Why do you want to help us make this?"

In the story told by the tribe leader, adults are evil and terrifying, so they disappeared from this continent later.

Dada felt that the adult in front of him was as huge and scary as in the story, but not as evil as in the story.

Lu Yao: "There is no special reason, I just hope you can return to the tribe safely." He also brought back the news that there is an inn in Stranglethorn Vale.

Dada immediately felt that this adult was gentler and kinder than he expected.

Lu Yao prepared to screw in the screws, raised his eyebrows and looked at Dada: "Can you help me here?"

Dada was a little surprised that adults also needed help.

He walked up to Lu Yao and tried to hold the wooden board with both hands.

Lu Yao found a screwdriver and screws, aligned them with the holes in the wooden board, and screwed them up one by one.

It took about ten minutes to assemble the mini luxury sled.

Lu Yao put a strong and durable linen rope on the sled: "The seat is a bit hard. I will use wool to make a cushion cover later. It will be soft when you sit on it."

Dada's eyes widened: "What is wool? How to make a cushion cover?"

Lu Yao took out a ball of wool and a crochet from the drawer and demonstrated on the spot.

Dada lay on the brown ball of wool and rubbed her face against it: "It's so soft."

The little people are small and the cushions are not big, so Lu Yao made them very quickly.

She made two woolen cushions according to the size of the sled, passed the thread through the four corners, and carefully tied them to the seat and backrest. She tied a circle of thread directly on the armrests on both sides to prevent slipping. Lu

Yao pointed at the cushion and said, "Try it."

Dada climbed onto the sled. The view from the sled was a little higher than from the pig. The cushion was indeed as soft as the shopkeeper said. He couldn't help but look at Lu Yao with new eyes .

The hands of adults are so big, but they can make something so suitable for their tribe. Her hands are very skillful.

Dada imagined putting the sled on the red pigs and pulling them to run in the snow. He thought the idea of ​​this adult was peculiar.

The Nitians of the Red Pig Tribe would domesticate red pigs, but they had never thought of it.

Lu Yao yawned, looking tired: "It's done, I'm going to sleep. What about you?"

Dada was stunned, and slowly got off the sled: "I'm going to sleep too."

Lu Yao: "Not scared anymore?"

Dada quickly glanced at Lu Yao and lowered his head again, nodding shyly: "Yeah."

The little people of the Red Pig Tribe are brave and strong, but he is a coward. When encountering things, he always thinks about it for a long time, unlike Monk who can make decisions immediately.

Monk and Zhuangyu quickly got used to staying in this strange hotel, but he was the only one who was always uneasy in his heart.

But the big human in front of him strangely made him feel at ease.

Dada returned to the guest room and fell asleep quickly this time.

---

The next day, Monk lay on the side of Dada's bed, his face was amazingly bright, and his voice was even louder: "Hurry up, Lu Yao made fried shrimps!"

Shrimp?

Dada opened his eyes and asked, "Shrimp from the Black Rock Tribe?"

Monk nodded and shook his head, gesturing with his hands, "Much bigger than that one."

He woke up early in the morning and saw Luyao processing the ingredients. The shrimp that was going to be fried was bigger than him.

Monk pushed Dada out of bed, changed his clothes, and went downstairs to find Zhuangyu.

The three of them were waiting in the dining area on the first floor. When Lu Yao came over to deliver the food, she heard Dada and Zhuangyu describing the giant shrimps they had seen in the morning.

In order to appear luxurious, Lu Yao specially used a small food cart to push a whole fried shrimp to the dining area, cut it in front of the guests, put it on a plate, and drizzled it with a special sauce, one portion for each person.

The ingredients were fresh shrimps from the Maorongrong shop, and the three guests probably couldn't finish this one.

In addition, the set meal also included rice, a dish of cold radish shreds, and a bowl of winter melon, kelp and shrimp soup.

Lu Yao didn't know how horrifying the scene of her cutting shrimps was in the eyes of the dwarfs. The fried golden shrimps lay across the plate, larger than an adult dwarf.

She raised a Western knife and cut it into several pieces in two clicks.

However, when the fried shrimps entered their mouths, the little people could not say anything except to hold their bowls and eat rice like crazy.

The marinated shrimps were very tasty, and the ingredients were fresh. After frying, the taste was doubled.

Harold and Budu were also eating.

Breakfast was also fried shrimps, rice, side dishes and winter melon and wakame soup, but the amount was N times that of the little people.

After the two of them finished eating, they saw three little people lying on the table for a long time without moving through the small window, and asked: What's wrong?

Lu Yao suppressed his smile: "They were exhausted."

The three little people were exhausted until they felt dizzy, and they couldn't finish a whole shrimp.

Lu Yao packed them up and kept them warm in the special packaging boxes of the snack bar, so that they could take them on the road.

…

At the entrance of the inn, three little people climbed onto the sled, with food behind them, covered with dead leaves and tied securely with thin ropes. In front of them were three red pigs lined up in a row, tied with reins.

After a night of rest, they were ready to leave.

[Author’s Comments]

Some friends in the comment section discussed whether magic was used to shrink the food. I’m afraid this is not true.

The food itself is very large, and shrinking it only changes its form. The essence is still that large, which will damage the little people.

But the reverse operation can be done. Prepare the ingredients for the little people, use magic to enlarge the ingredients when making them, and restore them to their original size after cooking (what the hell am I talking about).

In fact, many people play with miniature models and mini kitchens in reality. You don’t need magic, just money ability. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money, DIY is also very interesting.

Good night.
