There was a saying that there was no problem in the world that couldn't be solved by a barbecue meal.
If there was, then it would be two.
In many literary works on Earth, barbecue could be said to be a super weapon that ran rampant in countless worlds. Whether it was the heroes of the underworld or the big shots of the world, whether it was righteous heroes or evil fanatics, or even magical beasts that couldn't be called human, they would often be subdued by the superb barbecue skills of the protagonist and beg him to take them in and follow him, just for meat to eat.
Tang En used to yearn for this kind of life, but when he really came to another world, he regretfully found that … he was completely ashamed of his barbecue skills.
Prandal cooking was very backward and simple. This was a problem mentioned before, so much so that Tang En almost vomited after coming here to eat meat for a month. In addition, most of the poultry and livestock in this world were free-range, and many of them were even wild, so a lot of the meat was lean, and it was difficult to eat some fatty meat. Tang En really had enough.
But on the other hand, because it was simple, it was easy to specialize.
That's right, they were already very good at barbecue.
Charcoal barbecue, iron plate barbecue, red stone barbecue, smoke barbecue, salt barbecue …
In addition to all kinds of Prandal local sauces, there were no less than a hundred flavors of barbecue alone. If all kinds of vegetarian side dishes were added, it would not be a problem for the variety to exceed a thousand …
And what made Tang En most speechless was that the barbecue here tasted very good. Although he was already disgusted by it, if he didn't eat it for a few days, he would want to eat it again … It was like he was addicted.
Although Aubrey was very confident in his barbecue skills, in fact, after seeing Adrian's cooking and his contempt for Aubrey, Tang En could roughly guess what level Aubrey was at.
If this book was about the life and leisure of another world, then Tang En would probably start to think about how to use the advantages of Prandal local cooking and the cooking of Earth, and then conquer this world with food …
Unfortunately, that was not the case.
"… That's why, back then, your grandfather was an idiot who only knew how to drag me down with his snotty nose!"
Aradeline took a big bite of the fragrant roast meat. After swallowing it, he took a sip of the white wine brought by Tang En. Then, he said to Elsa with a ruddy face, "If you run into any problems in the future, don't go to him. Come to me, your grandpa. I'll tell you. I'll do it!"
Tang En glanced at Aradeline. Was this the aura of a local tyrant? Elsa was indeed born with a golden thigh …
Wait!?
A thought flashed through Tang En's mind. Suddenly, his body shook once, twice, and again!
Could it be that this wasn't a male novel with him, a transmigrator, as the main character, but a female novel with Elsa, a local, as the main character, getting help from him, a transmigrator, to open a harem?!
Heavens!
If he were to go against the harem, his life would be short!
"My Lord? What happened to you? "
Elsa was surprised to find that Tang En's expression had suddenly changed.
Tang En squeezed the corners of his eyes. "It's nothing … Grandma Erika's fruit pie was delicious. I was so touched that I cried."
"That's right!"
Elijah also raised her little hand and said happily, "The fruit pie is really delicious!"
Erika said happily, "Eat more if it's delicious."
She used to be a commoner and often cooked. Coupled with her talent, she learned good cooking skills. Even after she was lucky enough to marry Aradeline, she didn't forget her cooking skills. She was happiest when others liked the things she made.
Aradeline burped and glanced at Tang En. "Kid, I heard from that old bastard that you're looking for a residence in the noble district?"
Tang En's eyes lit up. "That's right. Do you have good news?"
"You guessed it. I just happen to have good news here."
Aradeline closed his mouth after saying that. He looked satisfied as he waited for Tang En to beg him. However … a few minutes passed …
What was this kid doing?
The puzzled Aradeline opened one eye, only to find that Tang En was actually teasing Elijah with a smile and didn't care about what he just said at all!
"Kid!"
Aradeline was furious. "Didn't you hear?! I said I have news of a house here! "
"I heard it."
Tang En looked at him very innocently. "So what?"
"You — Don't you want to know?"
"It doesn't matter."
Tang En spread his hands. "If you have news, it means that someone in the noble district is indeed selling property. I'll find it sooner or later. What's the hurry?"
Tang En's face was indifferent, but he secretly curled his lips. Trying to bait him? It's not that easy.
"You little bastard …"
Adrian was infuriated by him.
Things weren't as simple as he thought. It wasn't that easy to buy and sell property in the noble district. On the one hand, it had to be reviewed by the noble parliament, and on the other hand, it had to be approved by the royal family to prevent enemy spies from sneaking into the heart of the imperial capital. The approval process of a deal often took a month, which showed how complicated it was.
This time, the so-called property that Aradeline said just happened to be on the market was actually instructed by Victor after meeting him in the morning. The property was also specially prepared by the royal family for Tang En. Although it wasn't in the Garden District, it was very close to the Garden District, which showed how much Victor valued him.
Because Aubrey was closer to Tang En, it would be easy to expose his intention to curry favor with him if he went to him. So, Victor specifically went to Aradeline, who wasn't that close to Tang En.
"Okay, you win."
Aradeline gave in. After all, he still had to do what Victor asked him to do. So, he took out a parchment scroll from his pocket and handed it to Tang En very unhappily. "Take it. Consider yourself lucky."
"Thank you."
After receiving the scroll, Tang En finally put on a brilliant smile.
"But speaking of which, what's the use of buying property here?"
Aradeline frowned slightly. "You're the lord of Ellington, and you've been summoned here. If there's nothing else, you'll go back, right? You won't be coming back to Alinx often in the future. It's a waste to buy property. "
Tang En shrugged. "I won't live there, but my employees will. Don't forget that the Datang Chamber of Commerce has opened a flagship store here. Although Ellington and Alinx will be closer and closer in the future, my employees certainly can't go back to Ellington to sleep after work, right?"
"Your employees live in a dormitory?"
Aradeline was dumbfounded. "Isn't that too extravagant?"
"Extravagant? Not really. The property is mine anyway. I'm just letting them live here temporarily. "
"Well … Alright."
Aradeline had earned a lot of gold coins today anyway, so he could still afford it. Besides, His Majesty Victor would probably give him a good discount. He'd better not think so much …
Aradeline snorted and stopped talking nonsense.
After glancing at the information on the scroll, Tang En said to Elijah with a smile, "Elijah, come with me to buy a house tomorrow."
Elijah was busy dealing with the fruit pies in front of her. When she heard Tang En's words, she did not have time to say anything. She just nodded vigorously.
This girl …
[I want to eat too!]
Nola began to protest. She had smelled the aroma and wanted to taste it, but Tang En did not let her come out.
No one could see her!
Nola was very angry about this!
[Alright, then don't eat it.]
Tang En was afraid that she would come out and eat it. Aradeline and the others would be scared when they saw the food suddenly disappear.
After getting Tang En's permission, Nola was overjoyed. She flew in front of Elijah and found a fruit pie to eat. With Elijah's cover, Aradeline and the others would not find out.
Her sneaky look always gave Tang En the urge to tease her …
After having dinner at Aradeline's house, Tang En and the others returned to Aubrey's house.
"You're back!?"
Aubrey rushed down like the wind. He held Elsa's hand and asked with concern, "How was it? That old bastard didn't mistreat you, did he? He didn't make you eat any strange dishes, did he? Really, it's fine to eat at home. Why did you listen to that old bastard and go to his house … "
"Grandpa!"
Elsa frowned slightly. "He's my grandfather!"
Aubrey snorted. He wanted to say a few more words to Aradeline, but he did not expect Elsa to directly pull Elijah back to the room. "We're going to bed. My Lord, if you go tomorrow, call me. I'll go with you!"
"Uh, okay."
"What are you going to do?"
Aubrey stared at Tang En.
Tang En waved the scroll in his hand. "To buy a house."
The next moment, the scroll appeared in Aubrey's hand. He opened it and was suddenly stunned. "This property … Oh."
Thinking back to what Victor had said to him today, Aubrey had a sudden realization. Without batting an eyelid, he closed the scroll and tossed it to Tang En, muttering, "You're pretty lucky, kid. But that's good too. It saves us a lot of trouble."
Tang En smiled. "Yeah, I think so too."
"So, are we even now?"
Aubrey narrowed his eyes and said, "You see, Aradeline helped you with the property, and I also promised to help you with the banquet. Can we destroy the contract?"
Of course, Aubrey and Aradeline did not care about the binding force of the contract. What they cared about was the dark history that the contract represented … Of course, they were unhappy that Tang En had their dark history in his hands.
Tang En grinned. "There's no problem with destroying it, but there's still one problem that hasn't been solved, right?"
"Humph, didn't Aradeline tell you? Come with us in the next two days, "Aubrey said proudly.
Aubrey said proudly, "I don't believe that old bastard Frank won't give us face!"
"When we get our money back, the contract will of course be destroyed in front of you. After all, you're an elder."
Tang En smiled very brightly.
This little bastard … His skin is really thick …
Aubrey exclaimed in his heart. Fortunately, they were on the same side. The Royal Faction had a future!
