Chapter 5 The Smith Tavern

The black boots, stepping on Valentine's dirt road, were soon stained with mud.

However, Rorschach didn't care. He just looked around curiously, experiencing the scenery of a small town in the western part of the United States at the end of the [-]th century.

The main facilities of the town are concentrated on both sides of the street.

Taverns, grocery stores, banks, clinics, hotels...

At the end of the road, there is a small steeple church with a bell tower and white walls that cannot be ignored.

Among them, what Rorschach was more concerned about was naturally the gun shop next to the bank.

Although he has a Glock 18 automatic pistol on him.

But he had no ammunition to spare beyond the seventeen rounds in the magazine.

In other words, after firing these seventeen rounds, the Glock 18 is useless.

On the train, he had already knocked out one round, and there were sixteen rounds left.

Of course, he could find a way to find a gun factory, and then pay them to make a batch of bullets specially for him.

However, before that, using the firearms of this era is the most economical way.

Rorschach, who has cleared [Red Dead Redemption 2] more than twice, of course knows how dangerous the western part of the United States is at this time!
Criminals, robbers, thieves, outlaws are everywhere like barn rats.

Whether it is through purchase or other channels, he must arm himself as soon as possible...

After wandering around the town for a while, Luo Xia discovered that this Novice Village in the game was not as deserted as it appeared in the game, but rather prosperous.

Moreover, as a town with a well-developed animal husbandry industry, there are no fewer ranchers and merchants who come here to trade cattle, sheep and horses every day.

Maybe it was because Rorschach looked very strange, or because he was so handsome that he couldn't hide it. Many Valentine townspeople passing by would more or less fix their eyes on him.

Finally, he came to the end of the main street, with Valentine's only hotel on his left.

Standing behind the counter, the hotel owner with a red nose due to alcoholism and a pipe in his mouth, saw the black-haired young man pushing the door and entered, and couldn't help but nodded to him:

"Welcome, sir. How can I help you?"

The design and decoration of the hotel are exactly the same as what he saw when playing the game.

While sighing inwardly, Luo Xia immediately smiled:
"Yes, I want to stay."

"Okay, we still have a spare room. How long are you going to stay?"

"How much does your room cost here per night?"

"Thirty cents a night, check out before noon the next day."

Thirty cents is a drop in the bucket for Rorschach who now has hundreds of dollars in his pocket.

After thinking about it, Rorschach took out three one-dollar bills and put them on the counter: "Then let's stay for ten days first."

"Ok."

After receiving the banknotes, the hotel owner handed the room key to Rorschach, "2C, the innermost room on the second floor. If you want to take a shower, you can come to the first floor. We have a dedicated scrubber to serve you."

"Ok."

The hotel is only two stories high, and there are only three rooms on the second floor.

With a "click", the door opened, and Rorschach's gaze swept across the room.

This is a retro room.

Gentle sunshine, through the windows and white floral curtains, reflected on the wooden floor, quite warm.

The room is small but well-equipped.

Just lying on the soft bed for a while, my stomach suddenly began to protest.

At this moment, Luo Xia realized that he hadn't eaten anything when he came to this world.

If you are hungry, people will not be able to concentrate, and doing things will get twice the result with half the effort.

Thinking of this, he left the room, walked through the corridor, and followed the stairs to the first floor of the hotel again.

"Sir, I would like to know, do you provide meals among your service items?"

Hearing this, the hotel owner shook his head, "Sorry, our hotel doesn't have this kind of service. If you want to eat, you can go to Smith's Tavern. Their fried eggs, bacon and lamb chops are very good."

Nodding, Rorschach said that he knew.

Now that the problem of accommodation has been resolved, of course it is time to appease the restless stomach...

. . .

Smith's Tavern, one of Valentine's two taverns, is also the largest.

The location is not far, just diagonally opposite the hotel.

The name of the tavern - "Smithfields" - is painted in white paint on the huge red wooden signboard

The name is a bit long, so people in the town will simply call it "Smith".

Pushing open the salon door, as soon as you step into the tavern, a wave of heat hits your face.

The noisy conversation and the music of the piano impacted Rorschach's senses at the same time.

There are five tables in the spacious tavern hall.

There are people sitting at every table.

Some people are playing Texas Hold'em, while others are holding wine glasses and pouring "tons and tons" down their throats.

At the bar, a man was talking and laughing happily with a plump woman in scantily dressed clothes.

However, that restless right hand had already been placed on his waist.

A man in a white shirt and suspenders is sitting in front of an old piano by the left wall, playing cheerful ditties for the guests.

Seeing Rorschach coming in, most of the guests just glanced up at this handsome black-haired young man who didn't carry a gun, and then looked away.

Rorschach, with a growling stomach, walked straight to the bar.

When he came to the bar, the bartender wearing a mustache put down the clean glass in his hand and nodded to him:

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

Glancing at the flirting men and women next to him, Rorschach moved his feet, moved a little away, and said casually, "Give me an fried egg and bacon, and a fried lamb chop. If you have bread, take some too."

"No problem, sir. Just a moment, please..."

After a while, a middle-aged lady who looked about 50 or [-] years old, wearing a gray Basir skirt, put fried eggs, bacon, fried lamb chops, and a few slices of bread in a small basket on the In front of Rorschach.

After thanking him, Rorschach began to enjoy his first meal in this world.

As an animal husbandry town, Valentine's fried lamb chops are well-known far and wide. They are tender and juicy, and have no smell. With simple frying and ingredients, they taste extremely delicious.

Paired with a glass of slightly sweet rum, Rorschach experienced a completely different dining experience from a Los Santos fine dining restaurant.

After eating and drinking, Luo Xia took out his pocket watch and found that it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

It's time to get down to business...
