Chapter 397: Do as the Romans Do when You Are in Your Hometown

Yi Xing ate at the hotel in the morning.

Complimentary breakfast is a rule of many hotels. Some also deliver dinner.

Breakfast can be delivered directly to the room by the waiter. But Yi Xing chose to eat in the lobby on the first floor to feel the atmosphere.

This kind of cheap hotel, which sailors are accustomed to frequent, is very noisy early in the morning.

Since the soundproofing is very poor, it's not surprising that some people would be woken up early by this.

Here, you can see people drinking and gambling early in the morning, which is almost impossible to see normally.

The gambling project is very classic.

Just poker and dice.

When these sailors saw Yi Xing, they exclaimed that the lady was so beautiful, and lamented that she was so tall, almost 1.8 meters tall.

Although Yi Xing was a little angry in his heart, his face remained unmoved.

He just came to the counter and got his plate of breakfast.

There are many plates placed on the counter, and everyone can take a plate and eat on their own initiative.

Yoshiyuki was a little curious if someone skipped breakfast, if he could accept his share.

If you want to get an extra meal, you need to be quite thick-skinned to do so.

Yoshiyuki felt that with his own strength, he could still do it.

However, time is limited. He couldn't afford to stay in the restaurant for that long.

Breakfast is served on a wooden plate with many compartments on top.

There are several kinds of dishes on it.

[A hard-boiled egg. 】

[A piece of black bread so rough that it cuts into the throat. 】

Yoshihiro saw some sailors feeding the horses with this thing, saying that the donkeys wouldn't even eat it.

He believes this is discriminatory towards horses.

[Two pieces of garlic sausage with almost no meat and garlic. 】

[A bowl of hot mixed vegetable porridge. 】

Yoshiyuki thought it didn't deserve to be called that, because it had almost no rice or vegetables, and was basically just soup.

A little salad consisting mostly of onions, carrots, cabbage and a very bitter vegetable he didn't recognize.

He thought the sauce smelled strange.

[A baked potato with two holes dug out of it. 】

Yoshiyuki specifically asked if it had been sprouted and then dug out, and the waiter said with certainty that it probably wasn't.

It sounded very suspicious, but just as the master and the scarf ninja said, facing suspicious food and eating it is also a part of spiritual practice, so Yoshiyuki decided to reluctantly believe her.

The last thing...is dessert.

[A small cream cake barely covered with cream. 】

There are no complimentary drinks, but you can drink water.

But Yoshiyuki saw that almost everyone ordered the cheapest ale to drink.

He thought about it and ordered a drink too.

Three copper coins can be exchanged for a large cup of about 750 milliliters - after all, he is not Yukikaze Maru, but he can't be sure at all just by visual inspection.

This kind of wooden beer glass with iron hoops on the top and bottom makes it quite heavy to carry after filling it with a full glass of wine. Girls with less strength will find it difficult just to pick it up with one hand.

Of course, righteous conduct is perfectly fine.

You can even slap this big beer glass on the table to make a rather impressive muffled sound.

This voice was extremely powerful, even a bit shocking.

And the way the beer foam bubbles out slightly is even more healing at first glance.

Yoshiyuki thinks he will become addicted to taking pictures.

But he didn't take a second shot.

Because the clerk started to look this way. It's like looking at a psychopath.

That was a little hurtful.

Yoshiyuki took a sip of the sweet ale. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could imagine the beauty of the wind blowing in the wheat fields. He felt that this was like doing as the Romans do in the countryside.

Drinking here is normal behavior.

Because in this city, just like the village we passed on the road, people of all ages are enjoying this drink.

The water sources in both places are very clean, and there is no need to replace water with wine to ensure health.

Therefore, everyone simply likes the taste. Just drinking them as drinks.

The cheap ales that Yoshiyuki has seen so far in Jiuyuan Township are all beers with very low alcohol content.

They are just like the medieval beers on Earth, very light and cloudy, with a lot of impurities and dregs.

Since no hops are used, there is no unique bitterness. This makes the ale taste sweet, and most people won't get drunk even if their stomachs are full.

When Yi Xing was in town yesterday to inquire about news, he also paid special attention to see if there was any beer brewed with hops.

The answer is yes. However, this kind of beer is labeled as "bitter beer" and "flower beer", and the price is higher than ordinary beer. Few people buy it.

In fact, Yoshiyuki was a little surprised that garlic was included in the free breakfast.

Not a lot, but at least that little bit of minced garlic.

He thought Gull Harbor might be rich in garlic.

Otherwise, based on the ridiculously high price of garlic he saw in Qingqiu Village at that time, it would be absolutely impossible for garlic sausage to appear in this meal.

…

wrong.

It should be said that it is garlic-flavored noodles.

It was the first time Yoshiyuki saw such a wooden dinner plate.

On Earth, these things are made of stainless steel.

Probably because the stainless steel from Jiuyuan Township is too expensive, I can't use that kind of plate.

As for iron plates, they are usually not used because they rust easily.

Since it's a cheap hotel, breakfast is of course cost-effective. So the dishes are very simple and the taste is not very good.

This small piece of dessert even contains a lot of less sugar to save money. You can often hear sailors complaining that this cake tastes as bland as water.

But for Yi Xing who mostly eats dry food recently and doesn’t like food that is too sweet, it’s still pretty good.

The thing that satisfied him the most was the hard-boiled egg.

For Yi Xing, who loves boiled eggs but has never had the chance to eat them since coming to Jiuyuan Township, this is simply the ultimate delicacy.

In the past, when Yi Xing ate boiled eggs, he would dip them in salt. But now, he was not even in the mood to get the salt shaker.

If you want to ask why, it is that he feels that he has been eating dry food recently and has taken in a little too much salt.

In this way, boiled eggs that are light and without any additional condiments are his favorite!

Speaking of which, this salt shaker is also rare.

Only in places like Haiou Port that produce salt themselves, salt is cheap enough for diners to add it as they please.

Not far from the hotel, there is a salt beach.

There is a magic circle over there. Yoshiyuki knows little about the magic of this system and it is difficult to analyze it, but he can probably tell that it is accelerating the physical reaction. The purpose is obviously to speed up the salt drying and increase the output.

You can spend fifty copper coins to stay in a separate room and have free breakfast. Even if the furnishings and bedding in the room are quite shabby and the room is noisy all day long, it is already a very good deal.
