Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 132 Dinner
Rhodes and Michel returned to the door of the house presented by Duke Owen with a lot of things they bought.

It was completely dark now, and there were no street lights on the road, only the faint lights coming from the windows of the houses on the side of the road.

"I'll knock on the door." While speaking, Michel walked to the brown wooden door and knocked twice.

"You guys are finally back, I'm almost starved to death." It was Miles who opened the door.

Rhodes calculated that it took them less than an hour from the time they separated from Miles to the time they returned to this house.

"We bought you something you like to eat." Rhodes closed the door and took off the mask on his face.Before, he was afraid of being recognized by people on the road, and then he was surrounded by people for a long time like when he went to the hotel to pick up things.

"What?" Miles asked curiously.

"Salted fish, didn't you say you like salty food?" Michelle replied.

Miles' face was a little green when he heard it, "When I say I like to eat salty, I don't mean salted fish. I mean things like sausages and bacon."

"What about the salted fish?" Rhodes asked.

"Don't mention salted fish to me!" Miles' tone was a little excited. Rhodes felt that he must have something to tell about salted fish. He must ask in the future. Now Rhodes is going to the kitchen.

I thought I could buy food made by others, but after looking around, I bought some bread and cheese, and the rest of the food needed to be processed by him.

There is also a kitchen in this house. After missing the easy-to-use natural gas and gas stove, Rhodes put the firewood in the stove and lit it with the palm of the flame.

In addition to salted fish, he also bought a few fresh fish processed by others. Gulfstream City is close to rivers and oceans, and there are abundant fisheries.Among them, Rhodes felt that it looked a bit like the grouper he had eaten before. This kind of fish only needed to be steamed with salt, soy sauce and some shredded ginger.

There are also a few fish that look like sorrel fish, and there are no spines to make fish fillets. Rhodes decided to coat them with egg white, stick them with bread crumbs, sprinkle salt, fry them in a frying pan until golden, and then dip them in the The ketchup you get at the grocery store should taste just fine.

At the same time, Rhodes boiled a pot of fish soup with a fish picked up from the river. This time he also found pepper in the grocery store. After adding shredded ginger and pepper, the fish soup was not so fishy.

Looking at the neatly arranged dishes on the table, Rhodes felt that he was really powerful.Considering the appetite of Baron and Hammer, every food on the table is very generous.

As for the meal sharing, let's solve it by ourselves after they come. He just wants to sit and rest for a while now.

They didn't wait for Rhodes to call them to eat, and they sat down at the table consciously after smelling the aroma.

Rhodes also bought a bag of rice in the grocery store. There is no time to cook today, and he can cook when he has time in the future. He hasn't eaten rice for a long time. Recently, bread is his staple food, which makes him miss rice very much. smell.

The main reason is that the bread in this world is not made of very fine flour like the bread he ate before crossing. The flour used in the bread in this world contains a lot of bran, which tastes very rough, even if it is white bread. It also grinds the mouth, and there is even more terrifying bread that is as hard as wood.

Some time ago, Rhodes heard in the hotel that a mercenary encountered robbers on the road. After a battle, the weapons of both sides were broken. Later, the mercenary took out the dry food he carried with him: it was almost as hard as wood. Black bread, beat the robber until his head was bleeding, and then the robber ran away.

"Except that the bread you bought is a bit hard, it's not bad." Baron commented, his mouth was full of ketchup, and even the bread had to be dipped in ketchup. Rhodes didn't expect Baron to like this. A sweet and sour taste.

Rhodes tried the taste of ketchup before. It was only sour and sweet. Rhodes didn’t like it very much. He felt that the taste was not as good as the ketchup provided in Golden Arches or Kaifeng Cuisine. This is because their ketchup also added salt , chili and some food additives.

"Didn't you say you bought salted fish?" Miles asked while gobbling.

"Do you really want to eat?" Rhodes asked back.

"No, no, no." Miles quickly waved his hand.

"Is there any story between you and the salted fish?" Rhodes asked curiously.

"It's nothing, but I lived by the sea since I was a child, and my family always made a living by making salted fish. I have eaten salted fish in every meal since I was a child. Now it makes me feel a little uncomfortable to think of the taste of salted fish." Mai Ernes explained.

"Then why doesn't your family cook fresh fish for you?" Rhodes asked again.

"The family thinks it's troublesome, and they work hard every day, so they don't have the heart to do it when they get home." Miles explained.

"Aren't some shellfish and shrimps delicious just by steaming them?"

"Anyway, my family was like that at the time. Looking back now, I don't know the reason. Maybe they came here like this, and they are used to it. After traveling around the mainland, I found that it is not bad that I can eat salted fish for every meal, yes My own requirements are too high, and many people on the mainland can only drink a few sips of porridge every day to fill their stomachs." Miles burped and leaned back on the chair comfortably.

"The Nords can eat meat for every meal, as long as you know how to hunt," Hammer said.

"It was in the north of Nord, and the Nord people in the south near the Roman Empire had a very difficult life." Miles yawned.

"It's not like we haven't been to the south of Nord, whether it's Winterfell Fortress or the southernmost White Hart Castle." Hammer argued.

"You have always only dealt with adventurers and mercenaries in taverns, and you have traveled all the way, and have never been to some remote small villages." Myers said, "I haven't been to many places, last time I walked along Traveling on the abandoned King's Highway near Ebony City, some small villages encountered on the way were miserable. All the men in the village were conscripted to the front line, leaving only some old people, women, and children. Most of the land was abandoned, and children and wild animals Dogs rob food, many elderly people can only stay at home alone to die."

"This is the negligence of the local lord." Hammer said after a long silence.

Rhodes remembered that they also passed through several villages, and they were still in places where bandits and rebels were rampant. The people in those villages were relatively young and did not look poor.However, he has never been to the place Miles said, and he cannot prove that what he said is a lie, and there is no need for him to tell a lie.

It seems that most of what I have seen after crossing is the sunny side of this world, and those dark and tragic ones have only seen a small part of it.

He has never been to the Roman Empire and the grasslands. It is said that the life of the common people is even more difficult. It is said that people cannibalize people even in good years. Rhodes feels that he has a lot to do in the future...
