Traveling through various miniature worlds with a small restaurant

Chapter 47 The Magical World 7

Elena smelled a slightly spicy aroma and asked curiously, "What are spicy strips?"

Lin Xiaoqian put down her drink: "It's a small snack. Wait a moment, I'll go get a fork."

He quickly went to the kitchen, grabbed a fork, and handed one to Elena.

Elena took it and tried a small bite. It was salty, numbing, spicy, and a little sweet.

"Great, this spicy snack is delicious! I really like it," Elena exclaimed happily.

Even small snacks made by East Asians are so delicious.

Lin Xiaoqian's eyes lit up. That's right, she had stocked up on a lot of snacks. Why not give Ms. Elena some as a return gift?

Lin Xiaoqian gave the remaining spicy strips to Elena, telling her to eat as much as she wanted.

Remembering her purpose, Elena asked, "Lin, why didn't they play Harry Potter today?"

Lin Xiaoqian belatedly realized that Elena might have contacted her to watch Harry Potter.

He asked, "Ms. Elena, would you like to see it?"

Elena thought to herself that she certainly wanted to watch it, but she remained rather reserved: "This Harry Potter play is so much better than any other one I've seen. Naturally, I'm more curious about how it ends."

Then she changed the subject: "I wonder where you bought this Harry Potter alchemy prop. If possible, I'd like to buy one too."

Lin Xiaoqian thought to herself, "Impossible. You can't buy it. Even if I gave you mine, you wouldn't be able to use it without electricity."

After thinking for a moment, she said, "My family bought this alchemical tool from a traveling merchant, and I don't know where else to buy it. I wonder if Ms. Elena has any magic that can record images? If you like, you can use magic to record the movie so you can take it back and watch it."

Elena thought the idea was good. Although she didn't have any magic, there was an alchemical tool called a copy stone in the magical world. She didn't have it now, but Philip or Old Henry might have it, since one sold alchemical materials and the other sold magical tools.

Elena told Lin Xiaoqian to wait for her for a moment, then she walked out of the shop like the wind and headed across the street.

Lin Xiaoqian shrugged and ran upstairs to pack a large box of snacks for Elena as a return gift.

When she came down, Elena, along with old Henry and Philip, had just arrived at the door.

“Lin, I’ve brought old Henry and Philip; they both have photocopied stones.”

Old Henry and Philip were a little embarrassed, after all, this was Lin Xiaoqian's performance to attract customers.

Old Henry said, "Boss, don't worry, once it's copied, only the three of us will see it. It will absolutely not be shared with anyone else."

Lin Xiaoqian smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll turn on the TV for you."

Lin Xiaoqian turned on the TV and asked, "Should we photocopy the first volume or the fifth?"

The three exchanged a glance and quickly said, "Let's start with the fifth book." They could continue reading.

To prevent others from disturbing them, the three of them closed the shop door and used magic to make it impossible for outsiders to see what was going on inside.

Lin Xiaoqian went with them to make copies, while she went to the kitchen to start preparing fried chicken legs.

As Harry Potter's image reappeared on the television screen, the photocopying stones in the hands of old Henry and Philip began to glow faintly, recording every wonderful moment.

Elena sat to the side, holding a spicy snack in her hand, her eyes focused and excited.

After a while, a sizzling sound came from the oil pan, and the golden-brown skin of the fried chicken legs rolled in the hot oil, emitting an enticing aroma.

The three people in the shop couldn't sit still after smelling the aroma, and their eyes kept drifting from the TV to the kitchen.

Old Henry peered through the small kitchen window and immediately spotted the fried chicken legs tumbling in the oil pan.

He asked in a low voice, "Boss, this fried chicken leg smells amazing! When can we eat it?"

Lin Xiaoqian heard Old Henry's question, looked up through the small kitchen window, saw their expectant eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

She skillfully used long chopsticks to turn the fried chicken legs in the pan, ensuring that each piece was heated evenly.

"Almost done, just a few more minutes," Lin Xiaoqian replied, her voice filled with pleasure.

After a few minutes, the fried chicken leg reached its perfect state, with a crispy outer skin and tender, juicy meat inside.

Lin Xiaoqian carefully scooped them out and placed them on a plate lined with absorbent paper to drain the oil slightly.

Old Henry had been waiting by the small window, and as soon as the fried chicken legs came out of the fryer, he said, "Give each of us two first."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoqian picked up a woven basket, laid out oil-absorbing paper, put two oil-absorbing sheets inside, and placed them on the platform of the small window.

Old Henry couldn't wait any longer: "Boss, let's put them all together."

Lin Xiaoqian had no choice but to put four more in, filling the small woven basket to the brim.

He pulled out a few pairs of disposable gloves and handed them to old Henry.

Old Henry took it and immediately took it over to eat with the other two.

By the time the fifth installment aired, Old Henry and his friends had eaten a total of twelve chicken drumsticks, and Lin Xiaoqian had fried about a hundred chicken drumsticks.

Old Henry and his two companions were very happy. The movie-watching experience, with just the three of them and delicious food and drinks, was fantastic.

However, considering that Lin Xiaoqian still needed to run her business, he thoughtfully asked her about her business as soon as the fifth installment ended and then helped her open the shop door.

The customers who came to eat fried chicken legs yesterday were already waiting at the door. When Old Henry opened the door, there were people all outside, and they were quite surprised to see that it was Old Henry.

After all, customers often come to this street to sell things.

They all asked, "Old Henry, what are you doing here? I was just about to buy some magic plants, but when I got to your shop, it was closed."

"Ms. Elena and Mr. Philip are here too. What are you doing at this fried chicken shop?"

Old Henry and the others didn't know how to explain it, but fortunately everyone was quickly drawn in by the aroma of fried chicken legs, and no one paid any attention to them.

"Boss, two fried chicken legs."

"Boss, I'll have five. I didn't get enough yesterday."

"I want five too!"

……

Lin Xiaoqian methodically served everyone fried chicken legs.

A customer asked, "Are they still showing Harry Potter today?"

Lin Xiaoqian nodded: "I put it there."

After all the customers had received their fried chicken legs, Lin Xiaoqian opened Harry Potter 5 and started playing it again.

The shop immediately fell silent.

The only sounds were the movie and people chewing their food.

Old Henry and his friends had just finished watching this movie and were thinking of going back to their shop first before coming over later.

He then asked Lin Xiaoqian to settle the bill.

Lin Xiaoqian wiped his hands and said to Old Henry and the others, "I'd like to ask how much the magic items in your shop cost? Do you have any that can be used even if you don't know magic, or any items that can test your magical talent? I'd like to buy some."

Seeing old Henry looking at him with curiosity, he explained, "I'm just curious and want to buy some as souvenirs to take home."

Thinking that Lin Xiaoqian came from the eastern continent, old Henry nodded knowingly.

I've heard that some people from the eastern continent like to buy things from the continent of Iria as souvenirs. It's said that one person even wanted to buy a dragon egg, but ended up being hunted down by the entire dragon race.
