Ok……
The girl was really hungry. She looked up and saw the flight attendant glaring at her fiercely again, so she simply picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
When she cut the potato balls with a knife, hot white smoke immediately gushed out. A large amount of pure white milkshake sizzled out with a sweet aroma. Such a tempting scene increased the girl's appetite.
"gentlemen."
She finished half of the dish in a few seconds before she remembered to ask the other person: "Are you...losing your appetite?"
“For this dish, the cream must be fresh,” Eugenie said. “Freshness does not mean whether it is spoiled or not, but the shape and taste of the cream must be maintained.”
"The most authentic way is to use boiling hot potatoes to drive the cold cream, rather than using boiling hot cream to keep the potato balls warm. This way it won't burn your mouth and will leave you with an endless aftertaste, unlike this..."
He glanced at the half-eaten potato ball.
"It's already a milkshake instead of cream. I won't eat anything that doesn't taste right."
"..."
The girl was stunned.
The potato in my mouth suddenly lost its fragrance.
Of course, she also had to admire the flight attendant's sharp vision.
With such discerning and peculiar tastes, this young man should really have sat in carriage 3.
"Are you always so... particular?"
After staring at Eugenie for a while, the girl couldn't help but ask a question.
"Just say I'm picky." Yougeni smiled and habitually took out a pack of cigarettes from the inside pocket of his jacket.
Then he looked at the girl, put the box back, and took out another flat metal box of similar specifications.
"Don't think I'm picking on you. In fact, even if it looks exactly like what I saw in my dream, I still wouldn't eat it... I'm not used to eating food given to me by others."
"Really?" The girl stared, "What if you get hungry during your trip?"
"Eat sweets."
Eugenie opened the small box and saw rows of small brown cigarette-like sticks inside. He took out two and put them in his mouth, moving his lips and tongue to melt them and swallow them with his body temperature.
“The rest of the time I cook for myself – that’s the only food I trust.”
"gentlemen!"
Seeing this scene, the girl was a little excited and a little agitated: "You can't be... the one wearing black clothes... the legendary one..."
"No."
After eating two candy bars, Yougeni looked more human, and he even wanted to joke with the other party.
"I'm not a lion in the shadows... otherwise, based on all your weird behavior, I would have taken you away at my next stop."
"what!"
"I'm just kidding... Actually, although I'm not one of those people, my job is pretty much the same as theirs. And in the process, I've offended quite a few people. There are at least three hundred people who dream of my death every day, so of course I have to be cautious."
"Are you a detective?" the girl said excitedly, "Then why are you going to Green Town..."
"I'm not going there to investigate a case." Eugenie shook his head.
"To get married."
"what!?"
"My parents made an appointment with me before they died, and then I..."
His eyes wandered as he looked at the scenery passing by outside the car window.
"I'm a little tired after all these years, so I plan to take a look... and settle down there if it's suitable."
The girl wondered how he could be such a rule-abiding person, and the next moment she heard him finish his words: "…If it doesn't fit, just treat it as a trip."
"Hahahaha!"
She broke out into a hearty laugh.
"..."
The conductor could hear the horrible laughter at the other end of the carriage. He could not help but cover his face with his hands, his heart filled with despair about the future.
The girl quickly became familiar with this strange man.
They exchanged names.
She knew his name was Eugenie Copperfield.
She also gave her name, Jerry Nome.
"You can just call me Jerry," she said happily, "that's what my friends call me."
"Those are your rules, Miss Nome." Eugenie shook her head. "Although I do consider you a friend, I also have my own rules."
"You are such a weird person!"
"Thank you, that's what they all say."
"who are they?"
"The criminals I executed."
"Ah! ... Do you support lynching?"
"Except for the criminals themselves, I doubt if there is anyone in this country who does not support it? Even the great nobles are always keen to invent new lynchings in private."
"But I can't tell you directly..."
Eugenie was young and handsome, and his deep eyes seemed to contain countless stories. Jie Li quickly immersed herself in the process of getting to know him.
By the time she realized something was wrong, she had already started to feel a little jealous of Eugenie's fiancée who was far away in Greentown.
Ok.
She swore only a little.
"I'm sick because I had a nightmare."
Eugenie said suddenly.
"All kinds of messed up dreams... I have more of them the closer I get to my destination."
"How could this be?"
Jerry was surprised.
Green Town is not a gloomy place. It has beautiful scenery and a pleasant climate. The soil on the mountain is fertile and food can grow by sowing seeds. Many fairy tale writers use Green Town as the prototype for their creations.
Because of this, it has a nickname called "Fairy Tale Town". It is a well-known holiday resort.
"I heard that many big shots like to come here to play... so the town built a church specifically to drive away evil spirits." Jie Li's tone was a little unbelievable, "How come... the closer you get to that place, the more you dream?"
"I do not know either."
Eugenie shook his head, his brows furrowed.
"What kind of dreams are they?" asked Jerry.
She was really interested.
"There are all kinds of things... There are fire dragons, animals that glow with colorful lights, and trees that walk like tentacles."
"How strange!" Jie Li was no longer incredulous but horrified. "What you said... just happened to correspond to some of the most famous fairy tales in Green Town!"
"Oh?" Eugenie raised his eyebrows. "Can you tell me more about it?"
"It's just... it's a fairy tale~"
Instead, Jie Li felt a little embarrassed and counted for him on her fingers.
"The tree that can walk should be 'Hu Teng'. It tells the story of a Hu Teng tree in the forest. Because of a boy - the boy's family always beats and scolds him - the boy kept crying under the tree, and finally the tree came to life. The tree found armor and weapons for the boy, and took the boy to defeat various evil spirits in the forest and find the secret treasure left by the ancient dynasty... Then the boy became a king and married a princess from a neighboring country and lived happily together."
"The animal with colorful light should be a unicorn. There are too many stories and fairy tales about it, hundreds of them... Anyway, it is an extremely pure creature that can walk on rainbows. Its pure white color can reflect colorful halos. Legend has it that only children with the purest hearts can see it."
"It is interesting."
Eugenie's eyes became darker and deeper.
"What about the fire dragon?"
"Fire dragon..."
Having said that, Jerry restrained her smile a little.
"Well, I've only heard a few rumors."
She spoke carefully and softly.
"It is said...it is said that Green Town was built on the back of a monster fire dragon. The one who built it was none other than the great Sarah I...and his purpose in doing so was to suppress and seal this monster."
"But the monster is not dead."
As he said this, Eugenie struck a match.
Just as the train was entering a tunnel in the mountains, the surroundings suddenly became dark. Only the flames were dancing in his hands, illuminating his face and the scene in the carriage red.
"Countless legends, countless stories... those children, warriors, kings, the monster that blocks the end of their adventure is always the fire dragon."
"I don't think it's a coincidence."
“There must be a secret behind this.”
Jie Li was too frightened to speak.
Eugenie's expression at this moment was too scary.
The body was hidden in the darkness, with only the outline of the face being illuminated. From the opposite side, she could clearly see two sparks of fire dancing in the deep eye sockets. The bright and strange luster made her shiver uncontrollably.
The next moment, the darkness receded.
The train finally emerged from the tunnel.
Eugenie blew out the match with a smile and started chatting with Jerry about other interesting things.
It was enough for him to bear these annoying nightmares alone, and he didn't want to involve irrelevant people.
The camera lengthens and rises at this point.
Looking down at the earth, in the distant sky, as if at the horizon, you can vaguely see a forest of bright red mangroves.
The train was emitting white smoke as it headed towards the woods.
It continues to move forward, carrying countless people who yearn for it.

Chapter 1 Daily Life on Flo Street
"So..." Hitzfeld narrowed his right eye and stared at Darent, who had a depressed look on his face.
"You fry the meat without even cleaning it every time..."
"You just said you were going to fry it, how would I know when?" Darent said stubbornly, "And it's not like I can't eat it! I see Ashley always eats it with relish!"
If you come down to comparing yourself with Ashley on the taste of food, then I have nothing to say.
Hitzfeld had an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and he easily expressed his meaning through his eyes.
"Considering that you will have to take care of Ashley in the future... watch out, I will only demonstrate it once."
Reluctantly taking off his apron and tying it on himself, Hitzfeld finally stood in front of the stove again after a while.
"First, the meat." She held down a piece of fresh meat and sliced it. "You cut it too thick. It's not easy to fry it through, and it won't be broken when you hammer it."
"Hitzfeld—"
Xia Yibing's voice came from outside.
"Where's the cheese you said was in the ice box?"
"Dalent exploded."
