The steak knife wasn't very sharp, but it was still able to slice open the tender steak with ease. Red wine and meat juices flowed out, and the aroma of the steak became even more pronounced, making Elliot's throat twitch involuntarily.
He picked up a small piece of steak with his fork and placed it into his mouth. He took a gentle bite, and delicious meat juices flowed out from the tender beef. The aroma of black pepper was just right, and the delicious flavor danced on the tip of his tongue, making a blissful smile appear on Elliot's face.
This wonderful feeling was simply too inconceivable!
Compared to this, the so-called delicacies he had tasted in The Wind Forest were like heaven and earth.
Tang Wulin felt as if he could sense the vitality of the beef, and he could tell that this was definitely a perfectly healthy Ironhide Bull.
What was even more incredible was that the red wine that had been added to the steak was like a treasure hidden in the depths of the forest. It was irresistibly intoxicating.
This was a delicious feast, and he was completely intoxicated by it.
After swallowing a mouthful of beef, he felt as if a ball of warmth had flowed down his throat, providing the most gentle comfort to his famished stomach.
One mouthful after another, Elliot's knife and fork didn't stop for a single moment. This type of delicacy was simply irresistible, and he simply couldn't stop himself.
"Ding!"
The knife and fork clanged against the empty plate. Elliot looked at the empty plate in front of him, and was a little surprised that he had already finished a portion of steak, but he still hadn't had his fill.
"Who would have thought that there would be such delicious food in this world? No wonder Sally didn't want to leave after coming here. There's probably no other place in this world that's more enticing than this," Elliot lamented to himself. All of his previous suspicions about whether Sally had been forced into this place had been completely erased.
Elliot put down his knife and fork and picked up the beer that had been sitting beside him for a while.
Within the large crystal glass was a clear golden beer. Two-thirds of the beer was alcohol, while the other third was white foam.
"Could it be barley wine?" Elliot was a little perplexed as he brought the glass closer to him. As soon as the glass came into contact with him, a faint aroma wafted toward him. It was elegant yet not pungent.
"It smells so good. It smells like barley wine, but the aroma is softer. Perhaps it's an improved version? Why don't you try it? "Elliot raised his glass and took a sip.
The wine in the early winter was slightly cold, but the taste was very refreshing and mellow without losing its mellowness.
Unlike barley wine, which was hard to conceal its bitterness, the wine was harmonious and soft, and had a strong killing power. Although there was a trace of bitterness, it was exceptionally delicate, weak, and slightly pleasant. There was no aftertaste, nor was there a lingering aftertaste. After swallowing it, one could not help but want to take another sip.
"Gulp, gulp."
Elliot tilted his head back and quickly downed the large glass of beer.
Elliot put down the glass. There was still some white foam on the glass. He burped and looked at Sally. "Give me another steak and a glass of beer."
Sally looked at the time and shook her head. "The restaurant's business hours are about to end. We won't be serving any more food."
"Is that so? Looks like I'll have to come over earlier tomorrow. " Elliot was a little disappointed, but he didn't say much. He took out a purse from his waist and smiled at Sally. "Shall we settle the bill?"
…
After business hours were over, all the customers had left. Sally looked at Yabemiya and the others. "You guys can go back first. I have to go somewhere after the restaurant is cleaned, so I'll be back later."
"Okay, then you should go back earlier too." Mia nodded. She left with Barbara and Phyllis, who had a scarf wrapped around her face and ears.
The gentle water cleansed every nook and cranny of the restaurant, and they surrounded Sally as if they were little elves that were obedient to her commands.
Meg stood off to the side and looked at this scene in silence. Amy had already gone upstairs to play in her playground.
The flowing water disappeared, and the restaurant looked brand new. The green leaves in the glass vases exuded vitality, and no ashes could be seen in the corners.
Sally turned to Meg and said calmly, "Boss, I … may have to go."
"Are you going back?" Meg also asked calmly.
"Yes." Sally nodded as she looked at Mag. She then turned her gaze to the restaurant, and a smile appeared on her face as she said, "I wanted to travel the entire Norland Continent, but I didn't think that I'd stop at Chaos City. It's a little different from what I had envisioned, but I feel like I've had a lot of fun during this time. I've made new friends, so there's nothing to regret."
Meg looked at Sally. Although this girl didn't smile often, she looked even prettier when she smiled.
Mag was Mamy Restaurant's second customer and second waiter. He was a capable employee who was responsible for all the work, such as the finances, cleaning, and clearing the tables. He was also a very pleasant friend whom Mag got along very well with in both work and life. He was about to leave, so Mag couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.
If he could, of course, he would want her to stay.
However, he obviously couldn't. Besides, it had to be Sally's choice to leave or stay.
She could return to The Wind Forest and become the new elven princess, continue to work at Amy's as a waitress, or go on the road of escape again. The latter two options were no longer an option after the head of the Brewster Family came to her in person.
Sally looked at Meg for a long time, and finally said, "Thank you."
Meg smiled, and said, "Are you leaving tonight, or can you wait until tomorrow? If it's possible, I want to have dinner with all of us again to see you off."
"I don't like parting. If it's possible, I hope you can tell them after I leave. I'll go to Amy's parent-teacher conference with you tomorrow." Sally shook her head. She blushed at the mention of the parent-teacher conference, and looked away from Meg to a green leaf.
"Okay." Meg nodded.
"I'm leaving now." Sally took her coat and walked out of the door.
"Life is really …" Meg raised his eyebrows. He walked slowly to the door, locked it, turned off the light, and walked to the stairs. He couldn't help but smile when he saw Amy sitting on the stairs with Ugly Duckling in her arms.
…
"Come back with me, Sally," Elliot said with a smile when he saw Sally coming out of the restaurant.
