If you knew this would happen, you should have chosen a later time to come.

Lorraine sat down with Xueni, and he looked around at the other guests in the room.

"If I hadn't asked the maid, I wouldn't have known you were here now."

They do this kind of thing, which means that they are no longer active in the Black Street, and it's no wonder that I couldn't find Zeth after asking around today.

"We always wanted to do something, and then the three of us pooled some money together and opened this store."

This store was opened by Zeth, Mobu, and Parry. Because of its small size, no one was hired.

Mobu is in charge of the counter, Zeth is responsible for entertaining guests, and Parry is now in the back kitchen, and the three have a clear division of labor.

In the past in Heijie, they often received employment tasks. Although the rewards were sometimes high, they were not always available, and there were uncertainties.

This also explains why Zes often went to Lorraine's place to have food.

At that time, they were thinking that instead of living with uncertainty like that, they might as well open a store of their own, so that at least they could actually know what they were doing.

This kind of food shop is the easiest to accept, so they chose to do it.

Facts also proved that their choice was correct.

"pretty good."

Lorraine trusts Zeth, and another thing is that he knows that he is the so-called royal family, but he doesn't care about this identity at all like when he first met.

He didn't ask for anything because of his own difficulties. At most, he only got a few meals.

Maybe they believe in themselves more than others.

Lorraine looked at a vacant table in the corner, and said, "Since it's such a coincidence, please treat us as ordinary guests, and prepare us the food that you are good at here by the way."

"Ah? Oh, okay." Mobu almost didn't react.

"Of course, we'll pay for it."

This time they came here because they had other business to do with Zes, not just for a meal.

Mobu watched the two walk towards their positions, and touched the back of his head.

She had heard from Zeth that Lorraine was a rather special royal family, and she did feel a little bit of it during the brief contact at that time.

That feeling is even more pronounced now.

At least she has never seen aristocrats come to eat in this kind of common people's shop.

After arriving at the location, Lorraine asked, "Will it be uncomfortable?"

"In the past, maybe. It's okay now."

As an aristocrat, Xue Ni seldom even set foot in civilian residential areas before, let alone this kind of place.

But since she went to the other side and stayed with Lorraine for a while, she has adapted a lot.

"That's good." Lorraine felt a little relieved.

"Are we going to have dinner here tonight?"

"Eat a little bit."

Lorraine looked at Zeth's still busy figure, at least for a while, he shouldn't be free.

The two of them couldn't just sit there and wait, so they might as well try what was made here first.

Chapter 18

Fruit wine will also be drunk

I don't know if it was because of the special care, but Lorraine felt that they seemed to be getting there faster.

In order to match the climate of this season, you can feel the spicy flavor just by looking at the food on the plate.

For some civilians, in addition to clothing, spicy food is also a way to resist the cold.

"Can you have something spicy?"

Lorraine didn't know what the food here was, but asked Mobu to take the food he was good at.

In my impression, Xueni not only rarely eats pastries and other foods, but also rarely comes into contact with such spicy foods.

Or maybe most nobles are like this, worried about leaving a bad taste in their mouths and affecting their image.

"It should be possible." Xue Ni was not sure.

But this thing looks okay, and the people around are also eating well.

After trying many novel things with Lorraine, Xueni's thinking is no longer as overly limited as other nobles. Even if she has no contact with food, she is willing to try it.

Xue Ni picked up the food with a fork and slowly put it into her mouth.

As soon as it entered the mouth, the taste of the spices began to spread in the mouth, accompanied by a slight tingling feeling, as if something was beating on the tongue.

After swallowing, Xue Ni nodded towards Lorraine, "Yes."

Compared with the food at home, the smell of these is a bit stronger, but it is acceptable. It is better to say that it is a different experience.

"That's good."

If Xueni didn't eat it, it would be a bit embarrassing for Lorraine to eat it alone.

Later, Lorraine also began to eat.

Because we have to control the speed of serving food and other factors, there is no hot soup prepared here.

I changed to a drink in a slightly larger cup. Because it is warm, I can smell a faint unknown fruity aroma.

"This tastes delicious."

After taking a sip, Xueni found that she liked this drink very much.

Xueni has certain requirements for herself, otherwise she wouldn't have learned so many things by herself, but she would be very direct about the things she likes.

After a while, I drank more than half of it.

At this moment, Zeth came over after being free and asked, "Is it okay to eat?"

"Yeah." Lorraine saw why their small shop was so busy, and it was not unreasonable.

Seeing that the meal time had passed and there were fewer people, Lorraine directly told Zes about the purpose of his visit.

"Ah?" After listening, Zeth pointed at himself in surprise, "You want me to pretend to go to the Knights to save people?"

He has also heard a little about the disappearance of people recently, but this is going to the Knights to make trouble, it is not something that can be done just because you say you can.

In the past in the Black Street, they would choose to avoid the things of those in the Knights.

If you are targeted, you always feel that it will be very troublesome.

"It's a fake." Zeth's reaction was expected by Lorraine, but he didn't mean to force it. "If you think there is a problem, it doesn't matter. I will find someone else when the time comes."

This incident is a bit strange, but if you spend some money to hire someone else, you can still find it.

It's just that the first person Lorraine thought of was Zeth, so he came over and came to visit him by the way.

If he didn't want to go, Lorraine wouldn't force it.

"Hiss... tsk..."

Zeth took a breath, smacked his lips again, and kept rubbing his hands together.

The recent life is very peaceful, but it always makes him feel that something is missing.

The thrill of working before?

Moreover, only Lorraine can bring him this new trick.

He knows that he is not a guy who can't be quiet, but now, doing this kind of thing is not something he can do by himself.

"Can I talk to them?" Zeth looked in the direction of the counter and the back kitchen.

"No need to reply immediately." Lorraine knew Zes's concerns.

As soon as the conversation between the two ended, Xueni made a small sound like a hiccup, and her whole body trembled.

Lorraine thought Xueni had eaten too much, but found that there was still a lot of untouched food on her plate.

Looking at Xueni, her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her eyes, which were clear not long ago, became erratic.

This situation is usually only seen when she just wakes up.

Sensing something was wrong, Lorraine reached out and touched Xueni's face. Not only were the sides of her cheeks flushed, they were also much warmer than usual.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

In the past, Lorraine might think she had a cold.

But it's impossible to be like this for no reason at the moment.

"I don't know, I just feel like I'm floating, hehe."

As she said that, Xue Ni's body began to shake. She looks like a tumbler now, but it's not exactly.

After shaking a few times, the whole person fell towards Lorraine and began to giggle.

"you......"

Lorraine sniffed, took a few sniffs, and then set her gaze on Xue Ni's half-drinked cup.

I haven't drank this thing myself yet, seeing that Xueni likes it, I plan to give her my own cup as well.

Supporting Xueni with one hand, Lorraine picked up Xueni's cup and drank it, and frowned as soon as he drank it.

"Is this wine?"

Because it is overwhelmed by the fruity smell, it is difficult to smell the subtle wine smell unless you get close.

And I have to say, it's really delicious.

"That's right, this is wine made from fruit." Zeth replied immediately, wondering why Lorraine would ask such a question.

Their main drink here is wine, which is suitable for most people, especially this kind of fruit wine is very popular.

This is a formula that Zes finally got from a certain merchant, and it is the signature of their store.

"Is there a problem?"

Lorraine put down the cup and pressed her forehead, "It's okay to drink, but a certain guy is going to be a problem."

"Hey." As if responding to him, Xue Ni laughed again.

Also noticing Xue Ni's appearance, Zes asked in a low voice, "Has she never drank something like this?"

"Yes, but not many."

As an aristocrat, if you often attend parties and banquets, it is the most basic common sense to toast politely, and you will drink more or less.

Lorraine was drunk by those nobles last time.

As for Xueni, she is a noble lady, but because of her previous interpersonal relationships, she rarely participates.

Even if necessary, with her temperament, she would just take a sip of it.

The wine made from this kind of fruit is covered by the fruity aroma, and she drank more than half of it without noticing anything. When she didn't even make a sound, she probably picked up the stamina.

"Ah, here." Zeth suddenly didn't know what to do.

"nothing."

Lorraine also just found out that Xueni is not very good at drinking this kind of drink, even if she likes it, she should pay more attention to it in the future

Fortunately, I am by my side and can take care of him in time.

Chapter 19

The subconscious is coming out

Lorraine didn't dare to stay outside for too long with Xue Ni's drunk appearance.

When taking her to the carriage, she was like a coquettish cat clinging to her body. Lorraine had to put her coat on her body to prevent the cold wind from hitting her head.
