Northern Woshui Town
In late June, sunlight spilled over the sea, and cheerful girls splashed and sang in the shallow waters.
Annabelle brushed her long hair, droplets scattering from her tresses. Barefoot, she stepped onto the beach, leaving a trail of footprints in the fine, soft sand.
"Ellie, I'm going to rest over there for a while. This song really wore out my voice."
Aili kicked up a splash in the water and turned her head, smiling: "You're going to buy water? Then I'll come with you. You know, my voice is always loud. After singing a song, I'm no less tired than you..."
"Hahaha, alright, let's go find some water together!"
Ellie ran to Annabelle's side, the sand beneath her feet scattering everywhere, even getting on Annabelle's legs. Seeing this, Annabelle pretended to be angry and gently pinched Ellie's cheek. Ellie let Annabelle pinch her, making mischievous faces to amuse her, successfully making Annabelle laugh again.
The two of them laughed as they walked along the coastline, searching for a stall selling water.
Suddenly, Annabelle stopped and tapped Ellie's arm: "Look at that place!"
Aly looked in the direction Annabelle was pointing, and a look of confusion appeared on her face as well. "What is this? It wasn't here when we arrived, was it...?"
A big, strange house?
"Shall we go take a look?" Ellie asked.
"Let's go take a look," Annabelle decided.
There were many people around; they were not afraid of encountering danger.
The two of them walked up to the food truck, where they were greeted by a little elf.
"Woshu Town actually has elves?" Annabelle was surprised; she had only seen elves in books.
Ya smiled and greeted, "Welcome! What can I get for you two? We have both food and drinks here."
Su Yao heard the sound, walked from the back to the front, and greeted the two young ladies with a smile.
Annabelle suddenly felt inexplicably shy upon seeing the two beautiful girls.
Next to her, Ellie was not shy at all and exclaimed, "Oh my god, you have black hair! So beautiful! Your nose and eyes are so cute!"
"Thank you for the compliment, you both are very beautiful as well." Su Yao wasn't just being polite; the two girls in front of her were very traditional Western beauties, with stunning figures and delicate features. They were indeed very beautiful.
After admiring the looks of the elf and Su Yao, Ellie began to examine the food truck. "Oh my, what a magical house. Is there anything to drink here?"
"This is our menu, with food on the left and drinks on the right. At the seaside in summer, I recommend iced cola and coconut juice. If you're hungry, then I suggest the braised pork with garlic broccoli and rice combo. After you're full, I recommend trying some of our store's fruit, like strawberries."
Ellie turned her head and winked at Annabelle, whispering, "Annabelle, do you know what these things are?"
Annabelle held the menu, her finger pointing at "bread," and whispered, "This is the only one I recognize."
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
"Then shall we eat this?" Ellie changed her mind as soon as she finished speaking, "Or how about we order the owner's recommendation and buy a loaf of bread?"
"Alright, I'm a bit hungry too. Let's try it together."
After placing their orders, Ya was in charge of payment, while Su Yao was responsible for serving.
"Coke and coconut juice are 2.5 gold coins each, an extra gold coin for ice, bread is 3.5, strawberries are 12, one meat, one vegetable, and rice would normally be 35.5, but since you bought the set meal, it's best at 35... Because you're our first customers, we offer a rounding service, so the final total is 50 gold coins."
Annabelle and Ellie were initially inclined to frown upon hearing the prices of the dishes, but when they heard the latter part, they immediately smiled with joy. They had ordered a set meal, so they could save 0.5 gold coins, and since they were the first customers, they got an additional 5 gold coins off!
5.5 gold coins, enough for them to rent a small boat and drift on the sea for an hour!
How fitting!
The two of them immediately paid the bill.
When Su Yao was packing the boxed meals inside, she didn't see the situation between the two people. She only heard: [Cash register received payment of 50 gold coins.]
Making money successfully!
The food was quickly brought out.
The two of them sat on the small stools in front of the dining car, ready to taste.
Annabelle picked up the spoon, hesitating as she didn't know where to start digging. Just as she was about to ask Ellie, she saw her gesturing on the table, as if she were drawing a magic circle?
"Ellie, what are you doing? Aren't you going to eat?"
Ellie continued her work without pause and answered Annabelle, "I'm drawing a magic circle. I want to document this."
Annabelle: !!!
"It does seem worth recording, I've never seen such dishes before..." Annabelle said with a hint of bitterness, as she wasn't high enough in rank to draw a magic circle.
Aili raised an eyebrow and reassured, "What are you afraid of? Once the magic circle is complete, it can record both of us together."
Annabelle felt much better.
And Su Yao also expressed that she had learned something in the store.
Aili quickly finished the recording, and the two began to taste.
"Heavens! My magical god! Such delicious bread!"
"There really are ice cubes in this! So cold! Drinking it feels like a battle in my mouth!"
The two of them exclaimed in admiration simultaneously.
"This money was well spent, and my magic circle is truly worth it." The success of the magic circle required magic ores, and generally, no one would use a magic circle just to record a meal like Ellie did. But after the meal, neither Ellie nor Annabelle felt any regret about the magic ores.
"Let's try this meat again. It seems like pork..."
Ellie scooped up a piece, sniffed it first, and said, "No gamey smell, it smells delicious."
Annabelle had already started chewing, the salty-sweet flavor filling her mouth. Each time her teeth touched the meat, she could feel its tenderness and elasticity.
"Delicious!"
Aili ate it too and gave the same evaluation.
"I'll buy one of everything else in the store. I want to try the other things too."
Although she had only taken two bites, Annabelle could already anticipate the deliciousness of the other dishes.
Ellie was not one to hesitate, and at her level of magic, she wasn't short on money either. So she held Annabelle down, got up, and said, "I'll go. I'll buy more. We can share it, and whatever's left we can take back and eat."
Annabel agreed.
Aili once again stood before Su Yao, "Give me ten of everything in the store."
"Ten portions?" Su Yao advised, "Strawberries spoil easily, buying too many might be a waste."
"Then a little less..."
Just as Ellie was about to change her mind, she suddenly heard Annabelle calling her.
Annabel came straight over and, without a word, stuffed a strawberry into Ellie's mouth. "Try this strawberry, it's so sweet!"
A look of surprise flashed in Ellie’s eyes. "Boss, ten portions of everything else, but fifty portions of these strawberries!"
"My grandfather's birthday is tomorrow. As long as the strawberries can last until then, they definitely won't go uneaten!"
"It looks like they're selling something over there. I'll go see if they have any water."
Aili was still saying this when another sound came from behind; it seemed to be another group of tourists who were thirsty and wanted to buy water.
"Boss, can we do it? We can definitely finish them all!" Ellie was anxious. She didn't know how many strawberries Su Yao had here, and she was afraid others would see them and compete with her.
Su Yao nodded in agreement, "It can be postponed until tomorrow, and two or three days should be fine as well. But be careful, there might be a few that go bad inside. If they are rotten and smell bad, don't eat them."
"The total is 1325, but you can just give me 1300."
"No problem, no problem." Ellie handed over the money directly.
Su Yao was also happy in her heart; she hadn't expected the first customer to help cover all the costs. After some thought, Su Yao simply went to the system mall and exchanged 100 gold coins for packaging boxes and another 100 gold coins for ice.
Annabel packed up her things, and she and Annabel returned to the table to continue eating.
And the one who just said they wanted to buy water also walked up to the counter.
