Chapter 839: Chapter 619: The Elf Clan’s Culinary Temptation
The elves’ performances were spectacular, greatly enjoyed by the Sky Knight of the Dwarf Envoy Team.
However, what delighted Tonglu was not just the elves’ ever-novel and amusing performances, but also the delicious food provided by the elves.
The long table in the VIP section was filled with various fruits, exquisite pastries, and drinks whose nas couldn’t be called out.
The fruits were naturally specialties of the Elf Forest, the most bountiful forest in the Segis World, with nearly a thousand different types of recorded fruits.
These fruits ca in strange shapes, with varied colors, and their fragrances were uniquely enticing, each one displayed in the fruit tray without repetition.
Aside from the fruits, the variety of pastries also dazzled the eye.
Unlike the elf food in Tonglu’s mory, these elegant eternals seed to have rged many human dietary habits, with many pastries appearing.
However, Tonglu was surprised to find that he couldn’t na the vast majority of these pastries.
Tonglu had lived over a hundred years and was well-traveled, having visited the Human Kingdom.
He even spent over ten years in the Aries Kingdom, famous for its exquisite pastries, surely making him quite experienced.
Yet, even so, he had no idea about the origins of these pastries in front of him, with not a single clue.
Though, if carefully distinguished, one could broadly classify the elf pastries.
One type seed to be made from flour ground from Maniya Plain Wheat, mostly white in color, often filled with stuffing in the middle, mostly vegetarian, but Tonglu was amazed to find that there were actually so with at.
This truly surprised him, but it confird the rumor he had heard — after the new Life Goddess appeared, the Elf Clan began eating at.
This type of pastry was usually simple in shape, primarily round, moon-shaped, or with crumpled hill shapes, made with obvious techniques, including steaming fluffy and soft pastries, frying to a golden crispness, and pan-frying to a tempting golden brown.
As for the taste, there were both savory and sweet, with endless aftertaste.
Tonglu especially enjoyed the moon-shaped pastries, fried to a tempting golden brown, filled with wild vegetables and so mushrooms, along with cooked and crushed Magic Beast Egg, and delicious at sauce.
“What is this food called?”
He used a spoon to bring a crescent-shaped pastry to his mouth, chewing with a smack while curiously asking Little Xian Miao beside him.
As the pastry entered his mouth, the crust was crisp and the juices burst with fragrance, the unique freshness of the mushrooms and the tender egg bits teased the tongue, while the refreshing wild vegetables balanced the at’s grease, making Tonglu squint in enjoynt.
“This, ah, this is called pan-fried dumpling!”
Little Xian Miao enthusiastically introduced.
As she spoke, she pointed to other nearby pastries:
“That one is a bun, this is a pie, and this… is a stead cake!”
“Strange nas…”
Tonglu muttered.
However, he picked up the pastries even faster.
These pastries were not only delicious but also seed to carry magic power, visibly replenishing stamina and energy upon eating.
Tonglu thoroughly enjoyed these simply-shaped pastries.
anwhile, his companion, the Dwarf Prince, clearly favored the other type.
These were delicate and small cakes, along with so bread slices filled with stuffing and vegetables.
This type of pastry closely resembled the human cuisine of the Segis World.
However, those made by the Elf Clan were more delicate, especially the cakes, as exquisite as pieces of art, distinctly bearing the style of the Elf Clan.
The Dwarf Prince especially loved a dessert called “mousse cake” by Little Xian, which lted in the mouth with a rich creamy aroma.
Paired with crispy, refreshing, sweet, and slightly sour fruits, along with sweet and slightly acidic, soft and delicate honey, it was endlessly enjoyable, making the Dwarf Prince, who ca from afar, brighten his eyes and enjoy with relish.
“I always thought the Elf Clan’s food would be quite simple, but today, it seems completely different… It’s said that every resident of the Aries Kingdom is a gourt, but compared to your side, there’s still a long way to go.”
Tonglu sighed in admiration as he ate the delicious food provided by the elves.
He was thoroughly captivated by the dizzying variety of foods.
Of course, eating was only part of it.
Aside from eating, there was also drinking.
Not to ntion the elf’s colorful juices made from various fruits, nor the enticing fragrant Elf Flower Tea that swept the Segis World thousands of years ago and was embraced by all major intelligent races, Tonglu was imdiately attracted to a clear liquid in a crystal glass on the table.
It must be a kind of wine, for Tonglu caught the unique aroma of fine liquor.
Dwarves are among the most fond of drinking in all intelligent races, particularly fond of cool and refreshing ale.
However, this wine was completely different from those known to Tonglu. It had no color at all, crystal clear, like pure water.
This instantly piqued Tonglu’s interest…
As it is known, the drinks in Segis World are quite limited, basically just ale and fruit wine, both of which have colors.
Ale is orange or golden, the most common and ancient drink in Segis World; while fruit wine’s color depends on the brewing ingredients, the most famous being the ruby red wine from the vineyards of southern Aries Kingdom.
