Next, they moved on to the vegetable stalls. Here, Frey picked out vibrant red tomatoes, emerald green zucchinis, and crisp purple eggplants.
Alex, pointed at a peculiar root vegetable with a knobby exterior.
"What's that?" he asked, his voice barely audible over the din.
Frey chuckled. "That's a groak root, Master Alex. It's quite versatile, can be boiled, roasted, or mashed. You should try it sometime, it has a nutty flavor."
Alex nodded, making a mental note to experiment with this new ingredient later. They continued their shopping spree, filling their basket with a bounty of fresh produce, fragrant herbs, and a selection of cheeses.
As they rounded a corner, Alex spotted a stall unlike any other. It was filled with an assortment of trinkets and oddities – gleaming crystals of unknown origin, vials of shimmering liquids, and strange talismans with cryptic symbols etched onto their surfaces.
