Chapter 75
Levi's restaurant.
It was lunch time, and the restaurant was packed.
But unlike usual, most of the people who came to the restaurant were not there for the delicious food, but for a guest sitting inside - the legendary dragon. Of
course, the dragon was in human form now.
From the moment the dragon appeared above Dore City, it attracted the attention of countless residents. Their eyes followed the dragon from the city gate to the supermarket, and from the supermarket to the restaurant. Among these curious people, adventurers were the majority.
"He's really going too far!" Serego slammed the table and roared.
That's right. The adventurers nodded in their hearts.
Augustus persuaded him, "Jiang Li didn't agree to you at first."
"But...but..."
This is a dragon! The adventurers were fascinated.
Every adventurer who has heard the story of the dragon, which one doesn't want to be a warrior riding a dragon?
However, the adventurers are self-aware. During this time, they have heard from the young lord of Duolei City about the cause and effect of Jiang Li's encounter with the dragon, and know that the dragon chose to surrender because of its strength. Their strength is far less than that of Mr. Jiang Li, let alone defeating a dragon.
It's a pity that Mr. Jiang Li is unwilling to accept it.
Come to think of it, I wonder what it feels like to ride a dragon...
Augustus asked again with concern: "Are you going to leave?"
Serego crossed his arms, his face gloomy.
From the moment he was born, he had never encountered such a setback. He thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect that after seeing the greatness of dragons many times, humans still rejected him. More importantly, humans would rather choose an elf!
Those abominable herbivores!
As a dragon, the strongest at the top of the food chain on the continent, the race most favored by the goddess, does he have to beg a human being in a low voice? !
Serego snorted heavily, "Of course..."
Just then, Levi came out with the freshly cooked dishes. Soon, Serego's vision was filled with delicious food with good color, aroma and taste. He opened his mouth and swallowed the rest of his words back into his stomach.
Serego looked at the unfamiliar food in amazement. Not only was the color attractive, but it also exuded a fascinating aroma. The moment he smelled it, his saliva unconsciously welled up. He swallowed it with a gulp, "...What is this?"
Augustus said enthusiastically, "This is what I said before, the precious recipe that Jiang Li shared with us. Come and try it, it's delicious!"
Serego picked up the knife and fork without hesitation and stretched it directly to the whole plate of meat.
The first thing he enjoyed was a whole plate of sweet and sour spare ribs. The ribs of a certain kind of monster were cut into small pieces, blanched, fried in hot oil, and then paired with a secret sauce. It was sweet and sour, and the monster meat was soft and separated from the bones. For a dragon, the hard monster bones were as easy to bite as tofu between his sharp teeth, and he swallowed the bones into his stomach.
Augustus handed over a bowl of rice at the right time.
Serego quickly shoveled the rice into his mouth, not even letting go of the sauce on the plate.
He tasted it and realized that this was a kind of monster meat that he didn't like very much. In the past, he thought that the meat of this kind of monster was not delicious enough and never put it on his menu, but how could it be so delicious now? !
Is it because of this particularly delicious sauce?
Not only that, the other monster meat on the table was also cooked and seasoned in different ways, and each one became particularly strange in Serego's eyes. Among them, his favorite Gru beef was fried with a strange green plant.
He curiously picked up the green plant with a fork and put it into his mouth together with the monster meat.
The moment he took it into his mouth, Serego clenched his fists tightly, and tears welled up in the corners of his eyes: "So, so spicy!"
Augustus was startled and immediately worried.
He remembered what the dragon looked like after eating chili peppers. The scene was very tragic. How could he forget that green peppers are also spicy!
Fortunately, what Augustus was worried about did not happen. Serego tried hard to resist the desire to turn back to his original form and spit fire. Last time, he took a big bite of chili powder unexpectedly. Apart from the pain in his tongue, he had no other feeling. But this time, he only ate a little bit of green pepper, so he quickly felt that the spicy taste was quickly replaced by another fragrance.
The delicious glu beef was even more delicious with the spicy taste.
Hmm?
Serego raised his head and sniffed the fragrance in the air. He smelled the familiar chili fragrance and the taste of glu beef, but it was different from what he had eaten. Following the smell, he saw a pot of bright red food filled with chili.
"What is that?" he asked.
Augustus looked over: "That's boiled beef."
Serego: "I want to eat it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the adventurer at the next table brought the pot of boiled beef over.
Augustus had no time to stop him, and the dragon stretched out the fork in his hand towards the boiled beef.
The moment he took a bite, Serego widened his golden eyes, and sweat quickly flowed down his tense forehead.
So spicy!
But so delicious!
The thinly sliced beef was smooth and tender, fresh and delicious, and the strong aroma was like a volcano erupting on the tip of the tongue, and the boiling magma was the gushing gravy. It was obviously the familiar Gru beef, but it was a new and extreme flavor that the dragon had never explored in his long life.
And what brought these changes to Gru beef... was chili!
Yes, chili! The taste was completely different from the horrible taste in his memory. The hot oil in the chili peppers he tasted at this moment aroused all the aroma, which was transmitted from his sensitive taste buds to his nerve endings, almost making the dragon fall in love with him.
Serego clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his instinctive reaction. Dragon scales appeared beside his cheeks, and his rugged horns were also looming between his red hair. Large beads of sweat flowed down the contours of his cheeks, but he felt incredibly happy.
It was like swimming in magma, and it was like having a hearty fight with his own kind... It hurt! And it was so good!
Augustus watched the changes in the red-haired young man nervously, fearing that he would suddenly go crazy in the restaurant.
The dragon opened its eyes suddenly, and its golden pupils had turned into the vertical pupils of a beast.
"I want more." He said with shining eyes: "I want this chili again!"
Augustus: "...Ah?"
...
In the morning, Jiang Li was awakened by the alarm clock as usual.
He got up and washed, and before the supermarket opened, he slowly went out to a nearby breakfast shop for breakfast. A bowl of salty tofu pudding, plus a fried crispy and hot dough stick, and a big sauerkraut meat cake.
After leaving the earth for so many days, and even eating alien world cuisine for many days, Jiang Li missed the special flavors of the earth the most.
On weekday mornings, there were more and more pedestrians and cars on the road. After breakfast, Jiang Li walked back slowly, and kept meeting familiar neighbors along the way and greeted him.
"Xiao Jiang, are you back from your trip?"
"Where have you been during this time?"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm still a little uncomfortable that your supermarket is suddenly closed."
Jiang Li responded one by one. Fortunately, the supermarket was not far away and could be reached in a few steps. After returning to the supermarket, he opened the glass door and was not in a hurry to go to the other world. Instead, he first replenished the empty shelves and warehouses.
Although he had replenished the shelves and inventory before going on a long journey, he still underestimated the purchasing power of the residents of Dore City. During this time, in addition to taking care of his own plants, Messenner carefully helped him run the supermarket. The supermarket would be open regardless of day or afternoon, and the sufficient inventory was quickly consumed.
After refilling the shelves and doing everything, Jiang Li put his hand on the hourglass.
Before heading to the other world, through the glass door, he made eye contact with the big orange cat lying in the sun at the door.
Jiang Li: "..."
The orange cat: "Meow——"
After a moment, Jiang Li took a bag of cat food from the shelf, opened it and poured it into the bowl. Smelling the aroma of food, the big orange cat started and sat up, twisting its chubby body around Jiang Li's feet, rubbing its round belly against his calves, and its cries became sweeter and sweeter.
As soon as the bowl full of cat food was put down, the orange cat couldn't wait to stick its head in and eat it with big mouthfuls.
Jiang Li reached out to touch the orange cat's head, and his fingers passed through its soft fur, from the top of its head to its back. The soft fur warmed by the sun was like a fluffy marshmallow, and it did not resist no matter how he rubbed it. Occasionally, when it was touched in a place it did not like, the big orange cat did not raise its head, but only used its fluffy tail to gently pat the back of the human hand.
Soon, the smell of food attracted all the wild cats nearby.
A calico cat clamped its throat, and its furry claws skillfully scratched Jiang Li's pants and feet. Another beetle tried to squeeze the big orange cat, and was eager to squeeze its head into the cat food bowl, but was blown out by the big orange cat.
There were constant meowing sounds in his ears, Jiang Li took out a cat food noodle from his pocket, tore a small opening, and all the kittens who didn't get the cat food came over with meows, vying to grab the delicious cat food.
Jiang Li was not polite and stroked all the kittens that came to his door.
Well, he really likes furry ones.
...
Turn over the hourglass and come to another world.
The moment the supermarket opened its door, the red-haired young man who had been queuing at the door and occupied the front row strode in.
"Hurry up! Give me the food called ice cream!" Serego said loudly: "I heard that the weather now is best for eating ice cream."
Jiang Li was not surprised to see the familiar humanoid dragon appear in front of him.
He had been prepared for this, having seen how difficult it was to entangle this dragon. If he had given up so easily and left Dolei City, he would not have come back with them yesterday.
But...
Jiang Li reminded him, "Do you have money?"
Serego was stunned: "...Money?"
"Yes, you need money to shop in the supermarket." Jiang Li said coldly, "If you don't have money, I'm sorry, I won't sell you anything."
Serego: "..."
