Chapter 32

Vegetable oil?

Hearing this unfamiliar name, the silver-haired elf's eyes fell on the plate of shredded potatoes again.

Under the light, the slightly oily shredded potatoes seemed to be shrouded in a hazy glow, the golden color was tempting, and the fragrance was fragrant. Messenner sniffed the smell in the air, and he was surprised to find that it was the smell of other food in the restaurant that made him misunderstand. After careful identification, the fragrance of this plate of shredded potatoes did not contain animal fat.

...How could it be?

Messenner lowered his eyes and looked at the vegetable stew in front of him. Compared with the stir-fried shredded potatoes, it seemed particularly bland and unappetizing.

But how can the taste of potatoes change if they just change their shape?

"In that case, you can have a taste." Chris also enthusiastically pushed the plate of shredded potatoes in front of him, "Levi's restaurant is the most delicious restaurant in Dore City. It would be a pity if you miss the delicious food here when you come to Dore City." The

silver-haired elf stared at the shredded potatoes closely. Although he did not speak in response, he picked up the tableware beside him. Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Messenner picked up the shredded potatoes with a fork and put them into his mouth.

When he chewed it, he was surprised by the crisp taste. In his impression, the taste of cooked potatoes should be soft and sticky, and only raw potatoes would be so crispy. However, he did not taste the astringency of raw potatoes, let alone the earthy smell that potatoes should have. The saltiness, sourness, spiciness and the light sweetness of potatoes intertwined together to form an extreme taste that he had never tasted before.

...How is it possible?

Potatoes can be cooked so deliciously?

Is this the wisdom of human beings? !

Messenner placed the fork upright on the plate, pinched the fork handle and turned it in a circle, and the thin and long potato shreds rolled on the fork like noodles, filling a big mouthful.

Obviously, he didn't care about his appetite, and obviously, food was just a means to fill his stomach, but at this moment, he couldn't control his desire for food, and couldn't wait to put the food in front of him into his mouth.

"And this." The person next to him promptly brought a bowl of rice and a spoon. "The staple food that goes best with these dishes is the rice sold in the supermarket."

Rice can be made into stewed rice and fried rice, and ordinary white rice without any additives is the best match for Chinese food.

The silver-haired elf's green eyes stared at the small bowl in front of him without blinking. The snow-white, pearl-like rice grains were piled up in the small bowl, and the white mist was lingering, bringing a warm and sweet breath.

"What is this?" Messenner couldn't recognize it: "What kind of plant is this?"

"This is rice." Chris introduced.

Rice?

As an elf who is close to nature, Messenner had never heard of this plant.

But this did not affect his tasting.

He picked up a spoon, scooped a large spoonful of rice, and put it into his mouth.

It was sweet.

The sweetness of starch melted on the tip of the tongue, and the soft taste made the elf narrow his emerald eyes slightly, and shook his ears with satisfaction.

"Wait a minute!" Irene beside him hurriedly said, "Mr. Elf, rice is eaten with vegetables!"

With vegetables? Messenner did as she said, put the shredded potatoes on the rice, and then scooped them up with a spoon and put them into his mouth. The moment he took it into his mouth, his emerald eyes widened in surprise.

The salty and spicy taste of potatoes combined with rice turned out to be a match made in heaven. The soft and sticky rice made the taste of potato shreds more prominent, and the salty and spicy taste of potato shreds made the rice taste sweeter!

Humans... actually invented this kind of food? !

Spoon after spoon, Messenner quickly finished the rice in the bowl, and the plate of potato shreds was also eaten cleanly by him.

Whether it was rice or potatoes, they were both foods that were easy to fill the stomach. He put down the spoon and felt that his stomach had never been so satisfied.

After leaving the Fairy Forest, he ran on the road to find opponents. Most of the time, he ate wild fruits found in the wild. Occasionally, he would get money and go to a restaurant to order a vegetable stew. Throughout his long life, he only knew that magic was infinitely mysterious, but never knew that a small potato could produce such a change.

Messenner's eyes slowly fell on Levi.

He raised his chin slightly and affirmed the human in front of him: "You are an excellent human."

"Huh?" Levi was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and laughed: "Mr. Elf, you misunderstood, this dish was not invented by me, including other dishes, all of which are recipes shared selflessly by Mr. Jiang Li."

"Jiang Li?"

Speaking of Jiang Li, Levi had a lot to say.

He immediately talked nonstop, talking about how Jiang Li generously shared his precious recipes, how magical his recipes were, and how rare the seasonings sold in the supermarket were.

The silver-haired elf looked at the other dishes on the table.

Each one was a dish he had never seen before, but most of them had animal meat added, unlike the stir-fried shredded potatoes which was a pure vegetarian dish.

But this did not affect his completely new impression of Jiang Li.

The person who invented these methods must be an excellent chef, even if he was not a powerful magician.

"It's a pity that the supermarket will be closed for five days." Levi said regretfully, "Otherwise, you can still see Mr. Jiang Li in person. He is really an amazing person."

Messenner nodded happily, "I will wait for him for five days."

"Huh?"

"After five days, I will challenge him."

Chris on the side helped to explain, "This elf gentleman heard that there is a powerful magician in Dore City, so he came to challenge Mr. Jiang Li. He is the one who defeated the court magician Leon!" As soon as

these words came out, even the other guests in the restaurant turned their heads.

The news that the great magician Leon was defeated had already spread to Dore City, and attracted countless people to talk about it. They never expected that the person in the legend was now beside them.

People were talking about it.

"Is it him?"

"An elf? How rare."

"He wants to challenge Mr. Jiang Li?"

"Mr. Jiang Li is so powerful, he will definitely win, right?"

"But even the great magician Leon was defeated by him..."

The silver-haired elf calmly accepted everyone's gaze.

The elf who defeated the great magician Leon was going to challenge Jiang Li. The news swept through the restaurant like a whirlwind, and was about to spread with the departure of the diners, and soon spread throughout the city of Dolei.

At this moment, everyone in the restaurant said, "I will definitely come to see it when that day comes!"

How many people can't see the battle between two top magicians in their lifetimes, and they are so lucky!

However, the competition will be at least five days later, and the more important thing now is to fill their stomachs.

There are still many guests in the restaurant who are crying for food. Levi quickly returned to the kitchen, and the others at the same table also began to feast. Maybe it was because they were too absorbed in eating, but Messenner patted his stomach, thinking about the potato shreds and rice he had just eaten, and he was actually a little dissatisfied.

The elves' natural indifference made him not ask for anything, and the other people at the table were immersed in the food and did not notice. Soon, he saw the vegetable stew on the side.

Winter vegetables are very rare, and such a vegetable stew is more expensive than most monster meat at this time. He picked up the cutlery, forked a piece of wilted vegetable and put it into his mouth.

Messenner: "..."

He put down the fork again.

...

At night.

Chris and his companions returned home with the silver-haired elf.

Because there were so many of them, the house they rented was not small. After accommodating the five of them, there were still extra guest rooms to accommodate the elves.

The room quickly became warmer after lighting the fireplace, and the people who had been in the snow for a day sat down by the fireplace, sighing with satisfaction.

Messenner took off his gray robe and sat by the fireplace. The firewood was crackling, and the warm yellow flames reflected his delicate profile. His silver hair shone with a faint moonlight.

The flames danced in his emerald eyes, and after a long time, he made up his mind.

"I want to make money."

The words of the elf awakened several adventurers who were drowsy by the fireplace: "What?!"

Messenner looked at everyone: "Can you make money by fighting monsters?"

"Mr. Messenner?" On the way back, they had already exchanged names. Chris asked in confusion: "What do you do with the money?"

"To eat potatoes." The silver-haired elf said solemnly: "For the next five days, every day, I will eat that potato."

Chris paid for the dinner, and he agreed to treat everyone. But Messenner saw the bill. Because the products in the supermarket were used, the price of shredded potatoes and rice was not low, or in other words, the price of each dish in Levi's restaurant was not cheap.

However, no matter how low the price was, he couldn't afford it. Because he didn't even have a copper coin.

Everyone: "..."

Chris and his companions looked at each other in bewilderment.

He said, "There is still a lot of bounty left from the Magic Bear mission, enough for you to visit Levi's restaurant every day, and..."

The silver-haired elf's eyes lit up slightly.

"Besides, there are so many delicious foods, how can you only eat potatoes every day?" Irene added loudly: "You came to Dolei City, but you only eat potatoes, it's really a waste!"

Others echoed, as if they were not the ones who ate instant noodles for several days.

After staying in Dolei City for so long, they are no longer the same as before. Since the supermarket appeared, a steady stream of new and exotic foods have emerged. While every resident of Dolei City is enjoying a feast, they have also learned a lot of new dishes and cook in different ways every day.

Just like their home, there is a wok in the kitchen, and all kinds of seasonings!

It's just that his cooking skills are not as good as Levi's.

As the best cook in the family, Chris stood up without hesitation: "Let's have hot pot tomorrow!"

Messenner: "Hot pot?"

He seemed to have heard of this food.

"Make tomato hot pot, don't worry, it's all vegetarian!"

...

Five days passed in a flash.

After sending Lin Chengrui on the plane, the next morning, Jiang Li opened his eyes as soon as the alarm rang.

He didn't stay in bed. He turned off the alarm and got up quickly. He took out the clothes he bought in the other world from the closet and put them on. After washing up, he went downstairs to open the supermarket.

Because Lin Chengrui came suddenly, Jiang Li was totally unprepared. He only had time to put a sign saying "closed" at the door without any explanation. He suddenly closed the store for five days, and he didn't know if the guests from the other world could adapt. It's not that Jiang Li is narcissistic, but his supermarket business is really good, and it has become a daily routine for the residents of Dolei City.

The hourglass turned over, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in the other world.

Jiang Li looked up and saw that there were indeed a lot of people outside the glass door, all of them were guests waiting for him to open the door. When they saw the supermarket, the crowd became lively like boiling water.

They were really impatient. Jiang Li had seen this kind of scene several times before, so he was not panicked. He had prepared enough goods in advance to cope with the enthusiasm of the guests from the other world.

As soon as the supermarket door opened, the crowd outside shouted excitedly: "Here they come!"

"Mr. Jiang Li is finally here!"

"I've been waiting for five days, and I finally got it!"

"Mr. Messenner has been waiting for a long time, and now Mr. Jiang Li is here, you two can finally compete!"

... Wait?

Jiang Li paused in opening the door: What competition? !

How come he didn't know?

He then noticed that although there were many people waiting at the door of the supermarket, crowding the shopping street, everyone stepped back tacitly, and the one standing alone at the front was a male elf with pointed ears.

He was tall and slender, with a beautiful figure, beautiful long silver hair and emerald green eyes like a green lake. His delicate face met all of Jiang Li's imaginations of elves. But he held a staff in his hand, the magic crystal on the top of the staff gleaming coldly in the sunlight, his eyes were sharp, and his gaze fell on Jiang Li without blinking.

"Are you Jiang Li?"

Messenner looked at the man in front of him.

He had been waiting here for a long time, and watched with his own eyes as the supermarket was transferred here by teleportation magic. The young man who walked out of the store was surrounded by dense magical elements and was surprisingly young.

Is this the owner of the supermarket, the one who invented countless delicacies?

Compared to those, there are more important things at the moment.

The silver-haired elf raised his staff and stood ready: "Fight with me."

Jiang Li's mind went blank: "...What?"

Seeing Jiang Li's confusion, the onlookers kindly explained: "This is Mr. Messenal."

"He is the one who defeated Leon in the legend. He heard that there is a powerful magician in our Dolei City, so he came to challenge you!"

The passers-by raised their arms and shouted: "Mr. Jiang Li, I support you!"

"Defeat him! I believe you will win!"

Jiang Li: "..."

Jiang Li, who is still working hard to learn basic magic by himself: "......"

He just didn't open the door for five days, what happened in your other world!
