When Quinn John shook his head, Laura understood that he had never seen such a dish before. This made Laura even more curious.
Zhao Hai looked at Laura and smiled. "Come, Miss Laura, Mister Quinn John, and this should be Miss Nier, right? Have a taste. These are our specialties. You won't be able to eat them anywhere else. "
Laura smiled. "Then we won't be polite. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such big fire fish."
Quinn John smiled. "Miss Nier's favorite food is fire fish. I didn't expect to be able to eat it here. Zhao Hai seems to have a lot of experience in raising fire fish."
Probing!
Everyone knew that Kun was testing him, but Zhao wasn't angry. He was waiting for the other party to test him, so he just smiled and said, "It's okay. I chose this place because of the hot springs. I like to soak in hot springs, so I decided to live here. Later on, I thought of raising some fire bugs, but I just happened to have some that can be eaten, so I decided to raise them. But with the environment here, I can't raise too many of them." Kun nodded and said, "But I don't think I can raise too many."
Can't raise too many? When Kun and Laura heard what Zhao said, they couldn't help but think back to the time when they saw the densely packed fire fish heads in Winer Gully. They felt like they were going to faint. Modesty was too much of a hypocrite.
However, Quinn John frowned. "Mister Zhao Hai, if I may take the liberty to ask, even if you have something that the fire fish could eat, where did you get them? I remember that when I came to Stony Mountain, there were only a few small fire fish in the hot springs. Now, there are so many of them. You've only been here for a short time, so it's impossible for you to raise them yourself, right? "
When Laura heard Quinn John's question, her spirit soared. She knew that Quinn John's question had hit the nail on the head. Zhao Hai had only been in Stony Mountain for a short period of time, so it was impossible for him to raise so many fire fishes. The fire fishes outside must have been moved from somewhere else. Where did he move them from? Perhaps he could find out some information about his background from his answers.
Zhao Hai looked at Quinn John and shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Quinn John. This is a secret."
Zhao Hai didn't say much, but he clearly refused. Let me tell you, this is a secret. I won't tell you, so don't ask too much.
Quinn John and Laura were surprised. Quinn John immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mister Zhao Hai. I was rude." Zhao Hai waved his hand and smiled. "It's nothing. Come and have a taste. Don't let the food get cold."
Laura and Kun weren't polite. They picked up their knives and forks and tasted the dishes on the table. They were natives of the Ark Continent, and in the Ark Continent, they used knives and forks to eat. Zhao Hai hadn't seen anyone use chopsticks before.
However, Zhao Hai was now using chopsticks. He wasn't used to using knives and forks. So when Merine learned some Chinese dishes, Zhao Hai switched to using chopsticks. Although Green and the others found it strange, they didn't say anything.
If it was before, Green would have said that Zhao Hai was too strange. He simply didn't look like a noble. But ever since Zhao Hai obtained the Space, Green rarely said anything about him. In any case, in the Black Waste, even if you acted like a noble, no one would be able to see it. But outside of the Black Waste, if Zhao Hai acted like a noble, it wouldn't be good. It would be easy to find out his identity.
Zhao Hai was now a Dark Mage. Dark Mages had always been a very special profession in the continent. In everyone's impression, Dark Mages were eccentric people. If a Dark Mage was too normal, no one would believe that he was a Dark Mage.
Laura and the others also noticed Zhao Hai's chopsticks. These chopsticks were made by Zhao Hai himself. They were made from a long branch of the Oil Fruit Tree. It was cut with a knife and polished. The brown and red wood grain was shiny and very beautiful.
Zhao Hai didn't take off his veil. The design of this magic robe was very interesting. The size of the veil could be adjusted. As long as one wasn't afraid of trouble, one could make the veil bigger and wear it to eat. But now, most Mages wouldn't do this. It was too troublesome.
Laura and Kun were puzzled as they looked at Zhao Hai. They didn't know why Zhao Hai ate like this. Zhao Hai looked at the two and chuckled. "I'm sorry. Because of some special reasons, I don't want others to see my face."
This explanation was worse than no explanation at all. If Zhao Hai didn't explain, Laura and Kun would have thought that it was just another one of Zhao Hai's eccentricities. But Zhao Hai's explanation made Laura and the others wonder why Zhao Hai didn't want others to see his face. Was it because he was too ugly? Was it because he was afraid of being recognized? Or was it because he was a wanted criminal of the Empire?
However, Zhao Hai didn't explain much. He and Laura had just met today, and he knew that when people ate, they rarely spoke. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't say anything and just lowered his head to eat.
Zhao Hai didn't speak, so Laura and Kun didn't say anything. They just kept their heads down and ate. But soon, they didn't feel bored anymore. This was because the food was really delicious.
They had never seen it before. It was completely different from the cooking methods of the Ark Continent. In addition, there were dishes that they hadn't eaten before. This made Laura and Kun's appetite soar.
Laura wasn't a greedy person. On the contrary, her requirements for food were very high. Whether it was cooking techniques or ingredients, her requirements were very high.
The Markey Dell clan itself sold vegetables and grains. Naturally, they would evaluate the quality of the vegetables. Moreover, the Markey Dell clan's biggest customers weren't ordinary commoners. They couldn't earn much from commoners, but rather, their biggest customers were the aristocrats.
Of course, the things given to the aristocrats couldn't be too inferior. Not only did the appearance of the dish have to be good, but most importantly, the taste had to be good. Therefore, when Laura did business with those vegetable merchants, she would generally personally taste the dishes. This also raised her mouth to be picky.
People were creatures that loved to enjoy. No matter what plane it was, this was the same. Although the cooking methods of the Ark Continent weren't worth mentioning, their requirements for ingredients were very high. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a division between magic vegetables and ordinary vegetables.
In addition to increasing one's magic power, magic vegetables also had a better taste than ordinary vegetables. Laura's main business was magic vegetables, so naturally, she paid more attention to the taste.
It was precisely because of this that Laura was interested in the dishes on the table. The taste of the dishes on the table was really good. Not only was the cooking method good, but the quality of the dishes was also very good.
At the very beginning, Laura didn't eat the radish dish. In Laura's opinion, magic radish was the lowest level of magic vegetables. She simply wasn't interested in eating it.
However, out of courtesy, she still ate a mouthful. This mouthful was amazing. She found that this was the best magic radish she had ever eaten. Not only was the taste pure, but it was also crisp. It was simply the best quality.
Laura couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she didn't express anything. She then tasted the other dishes. Every one of them was delicious. The most important one was the fire fish. It was more delicious than any fire fish she had ever eaten before. Laura couldn't help but eat two more mouthfuls.
The meal ended in a very strange atmosphere. Although it was strange, it didn't mean that the atmosphere wasn't good. On the contrary, the atmosphere of the meal was really good. It could be said that both the host and the guest were very happy. However, the strange thing was that this meal was the least spoken meal.
After the meal, Zhao Hai and the others returned to the living room. Meg and Meg served them tea. Zhao Hai then turned to Laura and said, "Miss Laura, in fact, if you didn't come to see me, I would have gone to see you."
Laura was surprised. She didn't think that Zhao Hai would say this. She quickly said, "Is there anything I can do for Mister Zhao Hai?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "It's not a big matter. As Miss Laura can see, I don't like to be restrained. Plus, I am a black magician. That's why I haven't been invited by any family. I have to earn all my own expenses. I came to see Miss Laura because of this matter."
Laura was surprised. She didn't quite understand what Zhao Hai meant. Although she had only been in contact with Zhao Hai for a short time, she found out that Zhao Hai was a somewhat arrogant person. His arrogance wasn't on the surface, but it was a kind of pride that went deep into his bones. He didn't have any arrogance, but he had a lofty and unyielding character.
It was impossible for such a person to open his mouth and ask her for money. There was only one way for him to solve his money problem. Thinking of this, Laura's eyes couldn't help but shine. This was because she immediately thought of the fire fish in the hot spring outside.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What does Mister mean?"
She still wasn't sure about Zhao Hai's thoughts, so she wanted to ask. Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "I have something in my hands that I want to cooperate with Miss Laura. I don't know if Miss Laura is willing?"
Laura's eyes shined. "Is Mister talking about those fire fish?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "There are too few fire fish right now. I can only sell Miss Laura a hundred per month. I'm talking about another business, magic radishes."
Laura was surprised. "Magic radishes? Does Mister have a large number of magic radishes to sell? This isn't a problem. Our Markey Company can handle it. "
Laura's words were reasonable. Magic radishes themselves weren't precious things. If there weren't a large number of magic radishes to sell, she believed that Zhao Hai wouldn't look for her.
Zhao Hai smiled faintly. "Miss Laura, don't say that. I want to know how many magic radishes you can eat in a month. My magic radishes are all of this quality. You've just tasted their taste." As he spoke, he took out a white radish and put it on the table.
