Chapter 229 Eating Habits of Elves

"As far as I know, the eating habits of elves and humans seem to be somewhat different, but I don't know exactly where the difference is. If possible, can you tell me about it?"

When chatting with the Scarlet Queen before, Li Yalin already had a general understanding of another world, but it was only a general understanding. The details are not what the foodie queen would pay attention to at all.

In particular, this elf race is neither a member of the Scarlet Queen's family nor a follower of her. Of course, she couldn't explain it clearly, so she just mentioned it in one stroke.

Knowing that elves live in the forest all year round and rarely interact with humans, this is not easy.

Well, this time he met a real elf, of course Li Yalin would not let go of this good opportunity to learn about the information.

"Is the diet of elves and humans different..."

Li Yalin asked this question suddenly, and the elf on the opposite side also showed a confused expression, but she didn't hesitate for too long, she just thought for a while, and quickly answered.

"It's not so much a difference, it should be said to be completely different, you savage humans... Sorry, the meat that you humans like to eat the most is exactly what we elves can't agree with."

Savage...human?

Well, the conceptual gap is indeed not small.

Although the elf on the opposite side quickly realized his slip of the tongue and apologized, Li Yalin also heard very clearly that human eating habits were indeed unacceptable to elves.

Like those legendary settings, the elves are all vegetarians?
Are all human beings barbaric in front of elegant elves?
I always feel... as a barbaric human being, I'm really sorry.

In the descriptions of various novels or anime, the elves are a very pure race. To put it bluntly, they are not fancy, and what they say is completely due to nature.

So Li Yalin just complained a little bit in his heart at this moment, but he didn't show any dissatisfaction.

"I see. Meat is unacceptable."

Nodding slightly, he had already figured out how to entertain this elf guest.

"No, not only meat, animal meat, fish meat, eggs and milk food, we can't accept them all."

Not sure if he was afraid of being misunderstood, the elf on the opposite side hastily added another sentence.

Dare to love elves can't even eat eggs and milk. Li Yalin wanted to ask, you are so picky eaters, can your body's nutrition keep up?
Well, elves are not humans, and their body structure must be different. Looking at humans from the perspective of humans, I am afraid that they are also Shi Lezhi.

"Understood, there is no meat, milk and egg dishes, right? Then... how about the taste of elves? Do you like lighter dishes, or are you acceptable?"

As far as pure vegetarian food is concerned, this is not a problem for Li Yalin. Chinese cuisine is extensive and profound, even if he is asked to cook a hundred vegetarian dishes, there will never be any duplicates.

It's just that there is no meat, milk, or eggs. Isn't that a piece of cake?
However, in addition to the ingredients, the taste of the food is also very important, but can vegetarian elves eat some heavy food, such as spicy food, or greasy food?
Regarding this point, he also needs to ask clearly.

"In terms of taste... there shouldn't be anything to be picky about. Of course, most elves still prefer lighter food. In fact, we don't seem to have any other choice except light vegetarian food."

Li Yalin's question made the elf on the opposite side think for a while, after all, she had never considered the issue of taste or taste before.

Isn't there nothing more than that for vegetarian dishes?

What else can be innovated?
At least in the eyes of this elf girl, even if this is a restaurant from another world, it is absolutely impossible to make vegetarian dishes beyond her cognition.

"If any taste is acceptable, we really have two vegan signature dishes in our restaurant."

The level of cooking in another world is quite lacking, nothing more than boiled or grilled.

Well, according to the character of the elves who don't like vegetarian food, cooking methods such as barbecue must be rarely tried by them.

If this is the case, probably their diet is basically boiled soup or cold vegetables, or...does they eat fruits directly?
It seems that there are quite a few elves in the novel, and indeed they only eat fruit.

However, if you want to satisfy an elf, it is clear that you can’t solve it with a fruit platter, so... let’s see if Chinese cuisine can conquer this elf from another world.

"Panlong Eggplant... Mapo Tofu?"

Looking at the menu that Li Yalin handed over, the elf girl looked a little hesitant. She knew the words on it and could see the pictures of the dishes, but the problem was that whether it was eggplant or tofu, they were all dishes that she had never heard of before. Ingredients.

Is this... really not meat?

The key is……

"It's so expensive..."

Yes, even a vegetarian dish of fifty silver coins made the elf frowned subconsciously. How could she have the habit of bringing money when she had no contact with humans on weekdays.

Not to mention fifty silver coins for a dish, even five copper coins for a dish, she seems to be unable to afford it.

It seems really rude to rush into someone else's restaurant, look at the menu but can't order food.

Thinking of this, a blush immediately appeared on the elf's cheeks.

"By the way, I heard that the elves are very good at magic. I wonder if this rumor is true?"

Although Li Yalin is not particularly good at observing words and expressions, he can also detect a thing or two from the expression of that elf girl.

Not enough money?
Or no money at all?
In any case, if this rhythm continues, today's guests may not even think about entertaining them.

How to do?
Li Yalin does not intend to change the pricing on the menu, after all, in his mind, Chinese cuisine is worth the price.

But this store belongs to him, whether it sells food or delivers it is not entirely up to him. If he wants, he can entertain guests for free.

It's just that there is a reason for it to be free.

What's more, Li Yalin did think of an important thing at this moment.

This elf girl from another world seems to be a good communication partner, in terms of magic.

"Of course it is true. When it comes to magic, we elves are the strongest!"

Hearing Li Yalin mention magic, the elf girl's face immediately revealed a look of pride, and the embarrassment and blushing just now were completely thrown aside.

Her pride is not aimless. In the early years, the elves were indeed quite powerful in different worlds, and even the dragons at that time could not compete with them.

Of course, those so-called dragons are not six-pillar dragon gods, but just the most common giant dragons, and with the passage of time, the glory of the elves has gradually disappeared.

Prosperity and decline are talking about the status quo of the elves.
