2607  Strange Food

Once Alex was done with his bath, he changed into the clothes he had in his storage bag and walked back into the guest house he was brought to. He arrived at a room where the chief's daughter sat with food before her, ready for Alex to eat.

Alex looked at the bowl and plate and noticed that they were wooden. It seemed metal wasn't so readily available that they could make them just yet. Or maybe they liked it better this way.

He could see steam coming off the food even from far away, so it had to be prepared just now. They were being quite hospitable, it seemed.

'Is it because they think I'm a person from the desert?' Alex wondered. He still remembered how the man's attitude fully changed when he believed that.

'Why did he ask me that?' He decided to ask the man once he met him again.

Alex walked into the room and noticed that the food looked… strange. There were three parts to it from what he could see.

One was a sort of cooked dough, seemingly made with a lot of water in it. The other was a sort of thick soup with chunks of greens floating in it. And on the side was a stack of dried cured meat, all pressed together to form a big chunk by the look of it.
