Chapter 200 Night Market
The beautiful sunset, with its attachment and reluctance to the sky, gradually fell behind the majestic white city walls. The magic street lights on the streets of Ostia were lit one by one by one by the hard-working mage apprentices.
There is no large-scale energy supply line here, and purely hand-made magic street lights cannot achieve the same magic power required. Therefore, a large number of magic apprentices were hired by the City Hall, each responsible for lighting up the magic street lights in a block.
For the outer city where civilians live, the soft light of magic street lights has also become an indispensable landscape in everyone's lives.
On the stone chairs on the street, couples whispering were sprinkling dog food unscrupulously; on the lawn covered by lights, the family of four was enjoying a picnic happily; more people walked slowly in the same direction after dinner, in leisurely and comfortable steps.
The soft lights under the night sky and the fragrance of flowers floating in the air make the city look more peaceful and elegant. Every dusty traveler seemed to be washed away by it, and his face was filled with a faint smile.
The central square of the outer city is majestic, with a giant statue of a fiery lion standing in the center of the square, roaring proudly towards the north, as if showing the kingdom's tough attitude towards the orc alliance back then.
However, the current flaming lion's feet are occupied by dense and colorful pergolas, with narrow aisles winding in the gaps between the pergolas.
As the largest market in the outer city, the Central Plaza Night Market has been planned in different areas by the city hall. Whether it is ingredients, flowers, small commodities, street snacks, poetry, paintings, books, newspapers, etc., almost all the products that can be used in people's lives can be seen here.
Just like the three beautiful girls who are slowly moving with the crowd, each of them is holding a handful of snacks in their hands. Although the cooking standards of the Another World seem to be low in Leah's opinion, snacks such as barbecue, smoked fish, and sausages are pretty good. They even bring a different kind of deliciousness because of the addition of the Another World's unique spices.
What surprised Liya even more was that there were marshmallows sold in this market!
As the vendor kept stepping on the pedals, strands of smooth and transparent candy silk obediently wrapped around the sweet biscuit stick. Soon, a big marshmallow seemed to be a white cloud picked from the horizon and was gently handed to the impatient child's hand.
The young vendor watched the children happily holding their works to chase and play, and naturally showed a honest smile on his face.
"Dingdang~"
The shining copper coins were thrown into the box in front of the vendor by the adults, and the smile on the young face became a little stronger.
The young lady who was used to shopping and paying for gold coins was a little unbelievable that the snacks filled with the three girls had only spent more than twenty copper coins in total!
The elf poked the marshmallow in his hand curiously: "Oh! It's soft and scattered, really like the clouds in the sky!"
The marshmallows here are not called "marshmallows", but are called "white cloud flowers". It can be seen from the name alone that the residents of Ostia have special feelings for flowers.
As he said that, Luna couldn't wait to take a bite: "Ahhh~"
"Hahaha! My dear sister, why did you suddenly become an old man with white beard?" Liya couldn't help laughing when she saw the elf's cute and silly eating.
"What? How is it possible! Little...uh, I'm obviously a cute girl, okay?" Luna said subconsciously, but she retorted subconsciously.
"Come on, you can see it yourself!" Liya pretended to put her hand into Lilith's small bag, and actually took out a small mirror from her bracelet and placed it in front of Luna.
Why do you have a mirror in your bracelet? Well, don’t the dragons all like shiny things? It’s not that I have become narcissistic!
"Oh!" The elf suddenly exclaimed when he saw himself in the mirror, and he rushed to stuff the marshmallow sticking to his face into his mouth, and said vaguely: "The humans in the heart will provoke these strange Tongxi (you humans will make such strange things)!"
"It's obvious that you can't eat it yourself~" Riya hit the elf without hesitation, and said as if she wanted to prove it, and took a slight bite of the marshmallow.
"Hahahaha! I'm so laughing! Ahhahahaha... you... turn the mirror over by yourself... look... hahaha... I can't..." Luna was originally looking forward to learning the regular way to eat this kind of human snack, but when she saw Liya's current appearance, she squatted on the ground with a smile.
"Hmm?" Liya felt the sweet smell in her mouth and turned over the little mirror facing Luna in confusion.
The next second, the silver little loli stuffed all the white sugar silk on her face into her mouth with lightning speed. Then, she seemed to notice something, turned to look at the golden girl behind her, and said helplessly: "Lilith, you... just laugh if you want to..."
"Puff...hahaha...big...ah...hahaha...I...hahaha...I'm wrong..." Lilith said angrily, her beautiful little face turned red, and her eyes were filled with crystal tears.
The laughter of the few people did not attract too much attention from the people around them. At most, everyone just smiled kindly. After all, such a scene is growing in this huge market almost every moment...
"Why don't we come here directly, but enter from the snack area?" Luna asked in confusion as she looked at the bustling food market.
"Of course it's because you're full and go shopping!" Silver little loli replied naturally.
【It’s not because I didn’t know the way for the first time!】
Luna nodded and said with conviction: "You are still thoughtful, sister."
【Elf that is easy to handle!】
"Speaking of it, what kind of delicacy does Ilia want to make this time?" Lilith asked curiously. Whenever she thought of her eldest lady's "exquisite" cooking skills, she couldn't help but look forward to it.
While turning on the exploration mode, Lea said, "I haven't thought about it yet. This time I came out to see if there are any suitable ingredients in Ostia's food market."
There are no ingredients commonly used by big foodie empires in this world, such as soy sauce, vinegar, pepper, spicy chicken, sauce, garlic and ginger, and many dishes cannot be successfully made.
[Maybe... I should try some unique seasonings on Qilan Big 6, maybe you can find some substitutes...]
