#9 - Chicken that loves roast chicken
After leaving the clothing store, the two little ones had changed into brand new clothes. They were lantern-like puffy skirts with a distinct otherworld style. Although not as pretty as their previous outfits, they were at least new.
Ji Xiaofei additionally provided her with a wide satin ribbon to tie around her waist, in order to conceal her emerging wings. She also got Tao Hu a beret to make her large ears less conspicuous, and her tail was hidden under the puffy lantern skirt.
Besides the clothes, they also got new sets of underwear, socks, and shoes.
Although they were all cheap goods, it still cost a lot of money in total, and Yarrow gave up the idea of buying himself another set of clothes.
After changing clothes, there were indeed fewer people on the street noticing them.
By this time it was already night, and the colorful crystal lamps on the signs lit up, giving this other world some of the bright lights of a modern city.
"Hmm, which restaurant should we choose for dinner?"
Yarrow was very serious about choosing a restaurant, after all, this was a celebratory feast after finishing a job, and he had been eating wild vegetables and fish soup for so many days, so he had to choose a restaurant that was absolutely delicious and satisfying, except for grilled fish.
"Yarrow, that smells so good, I want to eat that!" Ji Xiaofei tugged at the corner of Yarrow's clothes, pointing to a restaurant not far away.
Yarrow glanced at it, and then said to Ji Xiaofei, "That's a roast chicken restaurant."
"Really? No wonder it smells so good." Ji Xiaofei was even more excited.
So what was she afraid of before?
"Forget it, since you don't mind, then roast chicken is fine."
It was already late, and his stomach was growling uncomfortably, so Yarrow simply chose that roast chicken restaurant.
The business was not bad, and it was bustling inside. A young waitress wearing an apron and a square headscarf held a large glass of malt beer in each hand, so busy that she only casually called out "Welcome" when she saw them come in.
There were still seats in the corner. Not long after they sat down, the waitress rushed over with a notebook.
"What would you like to order?"
"Roast chicken, braised chicken, fried chicken, crispy chicken ~" Ji Xiaofei said, looking at the menu.
Yarrow held her head down and said to the waitress, "One braised chicken, one roast chicken, a dozen grilled breads, a glass of malt beer, two glasses of apple juice, and a green salad."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waitress wrote it down and left.
Ji Xiaofei sat in her seat, waiting expectantly.
"Yarrow, what is that?" Tao Hu said, pointing to something that looked like glass hanging on the wall of the store.
"That's a crystal projector. There is a kind of crystal in this world that has the function of recording images. It is ground into discs, and then the images can be projected through specially made projectors, such as dramas, horse races, boxing matches, etc."
It's like the television of this world, but it only has the function of playing discs. This thing has only become popular in recent years. The clever use of image-retaining crystals and the exceptionally clear image-retaining characteristics have allowed this world to directly skip the technological point of chemical cameras and directly enter the digital age.
But it is also a luxury item. Even without the projector, a crystal disc is almost equal to half a month's income for an ordinary family, so only the middle class and above can afford it.
Yarrow's past dream was also to buy a crystal projector. Come on, being able to watch TV in another world is super cool!
"Oh, I see. We haven't encountered this kind of magic item before. It's really rare," Tao Hu said.
That crystal projector is also a way for some restaurants and taverns to make money. If someone has spare money and wants to show off, besides buying wine for everyone, they can also book the projector so that everyone can enjoy exciting horse races or boxing matches in the tavern or restaurant.
But it seems that they don't have that luck today, looking like no one is willing to treat everyone to a movie.
The food they ordered was brought up, two big, greasy roast chickens, the braised chicken with a beautiful reddish-brown skin, also brushed with honey. After cutting it open, the stewed vegetables stuffed inside flowed out, with a sweet taste mixed with fragrance and chicken, causing Yarrow's hungry stomach to twitch.
The roast chicken was hung in the oven, with a crispy skin, juicy and tender, and fragrant.
After being tired for so many days, he finally had a good meal, and without much nonsense, he directly tore off a piece of chicken and started eating.
The delicious chicken with freshly baked soft bread, plus a glass of malt beer, Yarrow finally felt alive.
Tao Hu and Ji Xiaofei were also very satisfied with the meal, and both of them were full of oil.
While eating, the content of the chat of the guests behind Yarrow made him prick up his ears:
"Another person died? Where did they find them?"
"By the river outside the city, just a little in front of the Hackma stables, I heard it was a woman washing clothes."
"Hey, those guys in the Security Department are really useless, they haven't caught a bear for so many days."
"Don't underestimate that bear, I heard it can even use magic!"
"A bear that can use magic? How is that possible."
"Hey, there are also pigs that can sign documents! What is a bear that can use magic?"
"What is a pig that can sign documents?"
"The city lord of Haidar City! As fat as a pig, damn it, this [redacted] is going to increase the beer tax again."
Yarrow took a big gulp of beer, listening to their conversation.
"A bear that can use magic? It's really rare, but it makes sense in this world, after all, there are also chickens that like to eat chicken."
He looked at Ji Xiaofei, who was holding a big chicken leg and eating happily, thinking.
The plates on the table were swept clean, and Tao Hu and Ji Xiaofei were both stroking their round bellies, lying comfortably on their seats, showing happy expressions.
"With such delicacies in the world, cultivating immortality and abstaining from grains is really a big loss." Tao Hu's voice softened.
"Well, but my meat is still more delicious." Ji Xiaofei also said softly.
"Can you stop making such bizarre remarks?" Yarrow pinched Ji Xiaofei's soft cheeks.
Full of food and drink, they returned to the street. Now the most important thing is to find a hotel, take a comfortable hot bath, and then sleep soundly.
Yarrow had been to Haider City several times, and walked towards the hotel he was familiar with.
They walked through a night market street, with vendors selling various goods on both sides of the road, and the shouts were louder than the other.
"All kinds of superior alchemical potions! Now on sale for only 3 Daka per bottle!"
"Platinum Knight's co-branded armor! Only 10 Sik per set! Also comes with a soul ring!"
"The best swords collected from every village! They are all here!"
"Familiar summoning! 3 gold lang to summon once! A SSR-level familiar is guaranteed to appear after ten summons!"
"My wife asked me why I was so fierce tonight, it turned out that I used it..."
Because this kind of night market does not require a business license, the rate of counterfeit goods is very high, but there are also many lucky people who can pick up big bargains, because everyone thinks they are the son of luck, so the business here is very popular.
Yarrow had been cheated once before, when he was fooled into buying an egg that was said to be a fledgling Fiery Feathered Eagle, saying that it could hatch a powerful magical beast Fiery Feathered Eagle. As a result, he took it back and hatched it for more than a month, and a gray rabbit crawled out, which only ate cabbage every day, and now it has grown to 40 pounds, and not long ago it bit off one of his table legs.
It's okay to be cheated out of money, but he couldn't figure out for months why a rabbit would hatch from an egg.
Since then, he has not bought anything in the night market.
