Chapter 16 - 15. Ambush.
Chapter 15
After such an unusual dream, I didn't even hope to fall asleep again, so I decided to start cooking. I had been thinking about this for a long time, that when moving to another world I would not have local currency and I would like to have at least a supply of food with me. Therefore, I took as my goals before the meeting with Jean and Lisa to cook at least a week's supply of dishes, besides, there were no problems with food, and my parents always leave me quite good pocket money, at the moment I have already accumulated about 100 thousand mora in reserve and at local prices, if I spend only on food, this should be enough for a very long time. For 20 thousand it is quite possible to buy such a quantity of food that will last for 100 days, that is if you live in luxury. And if you take something cheap, then for the same 20 thousand you can live peacefully for a year and today I finally decided to spend my reserves to buy myself a two-handed sword, namely the prototype "Archaic". Unlike the game, this sword can be bought without having to carry materials, as the traveler did, although naturally the price for this reaches 90 thousand Mora. But I think I'll recoup the money spent in about 10-12 guild quests, and this sword will serve me for a long time.
In general, I made the most patriotic dish, so to speak. Mondstadt pancakes. The thing is delicious and the recipe is not complicated. You just need to first cut the peeled potatoes, boil them, of course, not forgetting to salt. Then you need to drain the water and mix with butter to make a puree, you can also add salt, pepper and dry garlic to taste, then while the puree is cooling, take an egg and beat it, then add it to our puree and mix. Next, fry the pine cone seeds in a frying pan. After frying the seeds, we begin to form pancakes from the puree, not forgetting to put the seeds (nuts, if that makes more sense) in the center. After the pancakes are formed, we envelop them in tempura made from unsweetened cornflakes. Well, and finally, you can begin to fry them until they get a crispy golden crust. As a rule, such pancakes are eaten with berry sauce.
Naturally, I did not only make pancakes, because meat is something that I am definitely not going to give up, although I did not make the very popular chicken in honey sauce, but made good old chops.
So, having finished cooking, I had a delicious breakfast and first of all went to the blacksmith, after all, I have enough time before the meeting, and the blacksmith, as far as I know, always starts work early.
Mondstadt is a small city, but one thing cannot be taken away from it, it is truly beautiful and cozy, I especially like how harmoniously the decorative plants that grow right on the walls of the buildings fit into the architecture. At this morning hour, there were almost no passers-by on the street, except for the knights who, as usual, stood at their posts, and also the local restaurant "Good Hunter", although the prices there are quite low, which is why many eat there on a regular basis 3 times a day. Mostly, these are knights, but there are also plenty of such people among adventurers and ordinary residents. And their waitress is just a sweetheart. Sarah is a pretty girl of about 20 years old, she calmly allows even adventurers who want to stock up on supplies for their journey to use her kitchen. I feel that when the canon begins, the seeking twin will more than once occupy the local stove for Paimon. Although if we become friends, no not if, but when we become friends, then I think we can share our kitchen. And where would we be without the adventure guild, which is always open, and the permanent secretary Katerina is ready to accept both clients and adventurers at any time. I don't know that she is a creature, but the hole on her neck hints that she might be some kind of robot or android. Somehow, I immediately remembered the androids of a certain YoRHa.
Thinking about my own with Oz on my shoulder, I moved towards the forge, where the sound of hammer blows was already audible.
The forge in Mondstadt, oddly enough, was without walls, although with a roof, so everyone passing by could see how a strong man with black hair and a beard was doing his work.
- Hello, Mr. Wagner. - I greeted the blacksmith.
- Huh? What do you want? – the man asked without looking up from his work.
- I want to buy a two-handed sword prototype "Archaic"
