attack stream of life
Chapter 138
The young priest wrote a letter to the Holy See overnight on a roll of parchment:
The lord here is crazy, he let the people eat well, full!Stupid people eat enough, smart people eat less, holy people don't eat, because people will be lazy when their stomachs are full, and laziness is the original sin.
But the lord actually fed everyone!He is really sick!
He also made it possible for all children to go to school.
Such a sacred thing as knowledge is spread freely for sinful pariahs to learn. This lord is also a sinner. He has desecrated the sacred words and knowledge. (Goddess of Wisdom expresses that she has something to say)
He is guilty!
He also rented tools and livestock to these untouchables so that they would not have to work occasionally.
You taught us that hard labor must wear away the sins of these people, but he let them rest?This is a conspiracy of the lord, who wants to corrupt their souls so that they cannot go to the kingdom of God.
I will continue to stay, to retrieve and lead this group of lost lambs.
- God's faithful shepherd.
The priest rolled up the sheepskin, sealed it in a pottery tube, and tied it to the golden-feathered bird's feet.
The Golden Feather Bird called twice, wanting to eat something, after all, it would take two or three days to fly and travel a long distance, so something good must be given.It doesn't make sense to want birds to fly and birds not to eat fat.
But most of the money has been used to build churches, and he has no income. How can there be any good things?The priest looked around and saw that there was only the undeliverable piece of black bread beside him, so he broke the bread into pieces and fed it to the golden feather bird, "This is precious wheat."
He said, while feeding.
The Golden Feather Bird is a light attribute, it has no other abilities, but it will become transparent when exposed to sunlight, so many places like to train it as a messenger.
The golden-feathered bird reluctantly ate one, rolled its eyes, fluttered its wings, and flew out of the window.
The priest stood by the window and watched it go away, praying silently in his heart: I hope the teacher can see his hard work and persistence.By the way, let's send some more supplies. Without taxes and donations, he doesn't know how he will persist.
As he thought about it, he took a bite of the black bread: nasty, dry and hard, with a musty smell, but there was no money for white bread.
The golden feather bird circled in the air, and finally saw a familiar building.
It flew over enthusiastically, gently pecking at the window with its beak.
Qingchuan is not asleep yet, and he is dealing with official business. Regarding the promotion of the policy of separating families when young men and women get married: when young men and women get married, the man brings the family wealth and the copied family tree presented by the parents, and the woman brings the family wealth and the copied family tree presented by the parents. Engraved family trees, family trees together, they will have new families.
This is to prevent the expansion of clan power and the overriding of patriarchy.
Qing Chuan came over when he heard the voice from the window, opened the curtains and took a look: Huh?How did this golden-feathered bird come here?
He recognized it, and the temple has always used this little bird in contact with him, and he is familiar with both.
But I haven't been in touch with the temple recently. Could it be that there are some weird requests?
"Chirp, chirp, chirp!" Just after opening the window, the Golden Feather Bird rushed over like a wronged child seeing his parents, rubbing, chirping, chirping.
"Hungry?" This little emotion is so obvious that Qing Chuan can't even pretend not to know.He brought some crunchy biscuits and nuts from the snack box on the table, broke them one by one, and peeled the nuts. The little golden bird sang like a baby, and ate it without looking up.
Qing Chuan noticed that there was a small pottery tube tied to the bird's leg, and the surface was sealed with a barrier, probably to prevent people from peeping.This is not the style of direct parchments in the past, he guessed it was not for himself.
He put on his gloves, opened a space channel on the pottery tube, and took out the contents.
It turned out to be a thinly scraped piece of parchment.
When he opened it, Qingchuan was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
"What's the matter?" Wei Ge came over, put his hands around Qing Chuan's waist, leaned his chin on his shoulder, and then he also smiled, "This is the priest sent by the temple? Don't be exiled because he is too rigid right?"
Except for people who have been brainwashed since childhood to have no self, anyone who reads this kind of letter will laugh.
I don't know if it's self-hypnosis or just being stupid.
Qing Chuan rolled up the parchment and put it back.
The little golden bird was already full, and the food Qingchuan gave contained its favorite kind of nuts, and the biscuits were also delicious, making him very satisfied.
"It's actually this type of priest... That's fine, at least in a short period of time, I don't want to confront the temple, kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred." He rubbed Xiaoniao's head, "Go. "
The golden feather bird fluttered its wings again and rushed towards the darkness.
The news of the Quiet Leader spread outside with the entry of several forces.
Many people are skeptical about this news. The reputation of the place of death is too loud, and no one knows what it is like inside.
During the rainy period of this year, finally a team of businessmen who are good at taking risks came to Jingjing to take the risk.
They are a small team of 12 people. They originally brought a carload of seafood and wanted to come to a small town nearby to sell it at a good price. Who knows that they went to a wave of marine merchants a few days ago. Their products are not as special as others, so they are unsalable. up.
There is no way to store these things, if they take them back, they will lose money, they have no choice but to seek wealth and insurance, and decide to come to Jingjing to see the situation.
The small caravan walked for almost two days, and they were a little suspicious. When they almost turned around and left, they finally arrived at the No. [-] gathering place.There are also complete villages here, including humans and orcs, and even some dwarves and other races mixed in, all of which are the leaders who moved later.
The caravan sold a few products here, because their products were expensive, much more expensive than the mushroom house, and everyone felt that the price/performance ratio was not very high.
But in any case, it is a little bit to be able to sell a little bit.
"I think you should go to the front for an interview. The lord lives there, as well as those magicians and warriors. When my daughter grows up, she will go to school there. The teacher said she is very talented." A kind heart Someone pointed him out, for the sake of the similar accent.
The businessman still wanted to make friends with fellow villagers, but the other party shook his head and was even a little angry, "Go, go, can you talk? I am a leader of Jiranling. I will get my household registration book next year. Who is from your hometown?"
The businessmen simply don't understand, why are you all so proud of living in such a remote place?Can't wait to engrave the words "Silence Leading Free People" on your face?
After selling a little stuff, they were unwilling to go out like this, so the merchants continued to move forward.
The farther you go, the more people come and go. Foreign races are similar to human races. They seem to be friendly in communicating and discussing. There is no conflict or even tension outside.Even goblins, who have always been despised, are happy to play jokes with other human children.
But they also discovered one thing...
"Brother, what do I think, we are a bit dirty?" A small businessman wearing a gray hat rubbed over.
The big businessman remained silent: Do you still need him to remind you?He has found out.
This coming and going, not to mention the human beings, even if the clothes are a little worn out, the overall is clean and tidy, and the seams of the fingernails that stick out are all white.
Even the orcs, and even the famous filthy ghosts and goblins all look clean, their hair is clean and fresh, and there is no mud on their bodies. Are they really the same race as the goblins outside?
Everyone is clean and white, but I am wearing greasy and dirty clothes, with strands of hair, and a layer of grease on my face, which has been blown all the way by the wind and sand, and looks like ash from somewhere. mouse.
In contrast, I feel a little inexplicably inferior, and I feel that if I ask passers-by to ask questions, I will receive contemptuous looks.
It was also the first time that a businessman of noble origin was so embarrassed. He felt that he was not in a remote place, but a prosperous country, and they were country people who had just entered the city.
The houses here are very neat, the roads are flat, paved with stone slabs, and there are street trees and stone benches on both sides.On both sides of the road are green fields, and everything looks orderly.
As orderly as those who walk on the road.
The more the businessmen walked to the lively place, the more obvious this feeling became.
They are out of tune with this place, and they are treated strangely all the way, like monkeys in a circus.
"Let's find a place to stay temporarily." The sky was getting dark, and the businessmen were going to find a residential house to stay overnight. They didn't think there would be a hotel for tourists in such a small place.After all, silence leads, right?
There happened to be a girl carrying a basket nearby. The girl looked ordinary, but her temperament was a little different. She was completely different from the commoner girls outside.She was wearing a white narrow-sleeved shirt, a light blue vest dress, and a pair of black leather shoes exposed from under the skirt. She looked well-bred.
Ordinarily, they would not get close to such a girl from a good family, so as not to cause any misunderstanding.
But there is really no one around here. There are fields on both sides. It looks like a large green area with no end in sight.The businessman plucked up his courage to ask for directions, but he stopped far away, "Hi, young lady, is there any place to stay near here?"
Seeing their dusty appearance, the other party glanced at their truck again and smiled, "Are you a businessman here? You can choose the Golden Leaf Hotel on the commercial street."
The businessman didn't expect that there was a hotel nearby that specially entertained tourists, and he was overjoyed.A hostel is better than a private residence. Living in a private residence is likely to cause unnecessary disputes, while a hostel is more professional and the conditions are better.
She told them how to go, "When you see a tree with fan-shaped leaves floating, the Golden Leaf Hotel is next to it. The hotel provides food and hot water, which is convenient for three meals and washing."
"Thank you very much, lady."
She smiled mysteriously, "You're welcome, maybe we will meet again tomorrow."
"Oh my God……"
No one thought that there would be such a bustling street in such a secluded country place.On both sides are two-story brick and tile buildings of different shapes, trees are planted in front of the houses, and there is a wide bluestone road with carriages walking on the road.
The carriage is in the middle, and the pedestrians are on both sides, walking forward on the right and backward on the left, which looks very comfortable.
The street is very clean, with only a little bit of plaster, and no livestock manure and various domestic garbage that are common elsewhere.Pedestrians come and go in and out of different shops, including common cloth shops and cobbler shops, lively bars and mysterious magic material shops.
Merchants travel far and wide, and it is easy to recognize that those are real warriors and magicians, and the level will not be too low, at least not apprentices and sword waiters.
The most amazing and unexpected thing is that there are still single women on the street.They don't look like female warriors and magicians who are not easy to mess with, nor do they look like street girls. They are all girls from good families, with no flattery or flattery on their faces, and they are all doing something on their own.
No one looked at them with malicious eyes on the road.
The hooligans and beggars that can be seen everywhere in other places can't be seen.
Suddenly there was a cheer from the bar next to it. Several people looked over and saw a group of dwarf warriors and a group of orc warriors. They were holding cards, but they didn't look like the gambling cards passed down by the nobles that are popular outside. game.
A tall white wolf orc stood up, he was a handsome young man, he might be the leader of the group, everyone looked at him with respect, "It's late, don't play too late, we have to continue training tomorrow. You guys Drink slowly, I should go."
The person next to him uttered a narrow voice, asking the bartender to serve the drink while telling him to go quickly, "Don't keep your lord waiting."
"I'm really envious..." Someone whispered like this, he looked at the white wolf orc who was going out chicly with some jealousy, and said in a low voice: "If I also..."
"You don't have this..." His companion didn't know what to say.
"If you can make me... the guest of honor, even..."
The White Wolf Warrior did not leave the tavern directly, but went to a sweet-smelling shop next door and took out a large box of things.He wanted to give money to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper refused to accept it, and the two pushed and shoved a few times.
"If you don't accept it, I can't take it."
In the end, the shopkeeper accepted the money, and the White Wolf Warrior sped up the speed. Soon the news was at the end of the road.
The people here are really strange, the merchant thought, walking on.
"Gulu Gulu, Guru Gulu." The stomach kept making noises. The businessman glanced at the restaurants around him, and the smell of food kept wafting from them, while touching his stomach.
Why is the food here so delicious? Obviously they have already eaten the noodles, but their stomachs keep growling.
There was another grunt, and the businessman touched his stomach immediately, eh, no.He turned his head to look, and the brothers looked at him embarrassedly, and pressed their hands on his flat belly.
"Let's go to that store and have a look." The businessman looked around and saw that there were a lot of people in a certain store, and there were even a few magicians and warriors coming in and out, but there were also many working people at the bottom. He guessed that this store The food is good and the price is not expensive, so I decided to take my brothers to try it.
As soon as they approached, a boy wearing a blue turban and a blue short jacket came up, "How many guests? There is a manger behind, do you want to take the horse to rest behind? If people want to eat, horses have to eat too, right?" ?”
His appearance is clean and tidy, his smile is warm, and his speech is sharp and straightforward, which makes him feel comfortable listening.The merchant immediately felt a lot of goodwill, nodded, and asked two errand slaves to lead the horse and the goods to the backyard, and then two hired soldiers went to take care of the goods.
"Seven people in total," said the businessman.
There are only five people on his side now, but he will definitely have to replace the two soldiers guarding the goods for dinner later, so he said seven people.
The few remaining were slaves, and merchants would not buy them this kind of hot food specially, and usually the worst kind of pancakes would be dealt with.
The boy nodded and ushered them in, "Coincidentally, there are two empty tables. Come, please invite the guests."
The businessman looked around as he walked in. The torch hadn't been lit inside the store, so it was darker than the outside.On their right is an open-air kitchen. The kitchen is very clean, and there are no mice or bugs running around on the ground. It is different from the kitchen in the businessman's impression.
A chef in a white sackcloth apron and white hat prepares food.
The food he made is very special. He puts a yellow and delicate dough into a wooden tank, and when he squeezes it with a wooden hammer, strips of long and thin things like beards come out from below and fall directly into the boiling water below. .
In less than half a minute, the other party picked up those slender things, put them in a wooden bowl, sprinkled shredded cucumbers and carrots, poured a spoonful of brown sauce, and dripped a few drops with a small spoon. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with a little shallot.
This bowl is just fine.
A boy in the same blue jacket put bowls of long strips on the plate and delivered them to the table one by one.The businessman noticed that there was a strange symbol on each table, and the boy in blue knew whether to put things down or not just by looking at the symbol.
"Table [-], come, your noodles with mushroom sauce. Add noodles, minced meat, and a fried egg."
The businessman watched as he brought a bowl of thin and long things to a guest of the orc tribe. This bowl was larger than others, and the weight was also larger. There was a big spoonful of brown oily meat foam on it and a sun egg.
The orc guest used two thin sticks on the table to skillfully stir the thin things with shredded vegetables, sauce, and minced meat, picked them up, and ate them with big mouthfuls, and then took a big bite of the sun egg , the egg yolk flowed down and dripped on the plate.
The businessman swallowed a mouthful of saliva: that expression is simply too beautiful.
Really that delicious?
The businessman found that most people were eating this thin and long thing. There were several kinds of sauces, and they could add noodles, a spoonful of minced meat, a large piece of meat or fried eggs for extra money.There is a rich magician in front of him, and his bowl contains two tablespoons of meat and a sun egg.
In addition to noodles, each table has a small bowl of soup, which is chopped green vegetables and pieces of white things.
Everyone lowered their heads and inhaled, each and every one was so happy, it made everyone hungry.
They are drawn to corner positions.
Usually the corner location is not good, there are mosquitos and mice.But this store is very clean, although it is a corner, there is a small window not far away, the light and ventilation are good, there is no damp and moldy smell, and it even smells a little fragrant.
They noticed that there was still a pottery vase with several flowers in it on the table.
"What is this?" This small shop is so clean and romantic, the businessman feels a little uncomfortable. He usually enters a shop that is only for nobles to be so uncomfortable. His hands are so dirty that he can't even show it.
"This is a kind of flower that will drive away bugs, and bugs don't like the smell of this flower." The blue-clothed boy explained, and asked them what they want to eat, "Our store is most famous for all kinds of noodles, my lord I’ve eaten here before. The price is not expensive, a bowl of plain noodles costs thirteen small coins. This is food made of wheat flour and a little corn flour, if it’s outside, it’s more than that.”
This is true, things made from wheat flour have always been expensive.
But a meal costs more than a dozen pennies, which is not cheap, and you can buy a lot of noodles.
The businessman endured his distress and ordered seven bowls of vegetarian noodles.The rule of this restaurant is to pay after ordering, so he gave the money, one copper coin for one copper coin, and it feels distressing to take out each coin.
I haven't earned much, but I have used a lot along the way.
After a while, the same boy brought seven bowls of soup with green leaves and white lumps floating inside.
The businessman said anxiously: "We didn't order this."
"Guests, don't worry." The young man reassured him, "As long as you order a meal, our restaurant will give you a bowl of soup. Today is green vegetable tofu soup. This recipe is from the Lord's Mansion, and it tastes good. You guys drink it first Order some soup, and the noodles will be here in a while."
free?
Isn't it the way of buying and selling by force, foreigners like them?
This sentence extinguished half of the pain of spending money at once.Although this noodle is a bit more expensive, but when you think about it being made with wheat flour and giving soup as a gift, it feels like you've actually made money.
He picked up a spoon and took a sip, um, it tasted really good, and he didn't skimp on the salt, it was moderately salty and had a special taste.So he ate tofu, which was white and tender, crumbled as soon as he bit it, with a refreshing taste of green vegetables.
It was the first time the businessman ate such a wonderful thing, and he fell in love with it immediately.
Others loved it too, and they haven't had food that's warm and desirable in ages.
When the boy came over again with a plate of noodles, he was surprised to find five empty bowls on the table, with no soup left.
"Seven bowls of vegetarian noodles, please take your time."
The slender golden noodles look like a hill, with a circle of green melon and red carrot on the top, a big spoonful of brown soybean paste, a little golden transparent vegetable oil and a few scallions.
"It actually added some oil." A soldier said in surprise.
Vegetable oil is not cheap, and it is usually used to make balm and massage oil. The balm made from a bottle of olive oil outside is enough for ordinary people to buy a bottle for a year.The few drops of oil on the noodles are definitely an unexpected big surprise.
Well worth the money!
They don't know how to use two thin sticks. Fortunately, there are wooden forks on the table, so they use wooden forks to stir, roll up a roll, and put it in their mouths.
Ah!
The tip of the tongue has just touched it, and it is a very special, very fresh, with a bit of thick, salty taste inside, not like salt, but a very complicated taste.
They tried to bite off the noodles, and the well-stirred noodles danced in their mouths with a strong aroma, soft, springy and slippery, and a completely different feeling from the white bread made of fine noodles .
Together with the crunchy shredded cucumber and carrot, it adds a completely different texture to the rich sauce.
As expected of something made of fine noodles, how can it be so delicious?
The more they eat, the more fragrant they become, the more they chew, the more flavorful they become. The merchants devour the noodles and almost bury their heads in them. After eating the noodles, there are still a few leftovers on the plate, so they grab them carefully with their fingers and eat them, even licking off a little sauce on top. .
The body and spirit are fully satisfied, and all the hard work after the long journey is worthwhile at this moment.
"This must be the food on the king's table, right?" The businessman, who felt that it was not enough, wanted to eat another plate, tried his best to restrain himself.
Wait for the next time, no, after the products are sold out, they will have a good meal with meat and eggs!
"Hahahaha, in fact, all the famous delicacies on this street are recipes from the lord's mansion. At first, it seemed that the lord thought that the three meals of the teachers were too bad, so he sent a puppet who was proficient in gourmet food. Slowly, the food spread outside." A young soldier next door said.
"The lord treats those teachers as treasures." A goblin wearing rough clothes also said, "In the end, it's all for the children, so that they can get a better education and have more opportunities in the future."
When it comes to the lord, many people who were eating noodles quietly raised their heads and looked at the merchants who were obviously different from them, with a little pride on their expressions.
"Are you foreigners? Do you know our lord?"
The author has something to say: Leader: Dear, do you know Amway?
The lord here is crazy, he let the people eat well, full!Stupid people eat enough, smart people eat less, holy people don't eat, because people will be lazy when their stomachs are full, and laziness is the original sin.
But the lord actually fed everyone!He is really sick!
He also made it possible for all children to go to school.
Such a sacred thing as knowledge is spread freely for sinful pariahs to learn. This lord is also a sinner. He has desecrated the sacred words and knowledge. (Goddess of Wisdom expresses that she has something to say)
He is guilty!
He also rented tools and livestock to these untouchables so that they would not have to work occasionally.
You taught us that hard labor must wear away the sins of these people, but he let them rest?This is a conspiracy of the lord, who wants to corrupt their souls so that they cannot go to the kingdom of God.
I will continue to stay, to retrieve and lead this group of lost lambs.
- God's faithful shepherd.
The priest rolled up the sheepskin, sealed it in a pottery tube, and tied it to the golden-feathered bird's feet.

Qingchuan is not asleep yet, and he is dealing with official business. Regarding the promotion of the policy of separating families when young men and women get married: when young men and women get married, the man brings the family wealth and the copied family tree presented by the parents, and the woman brings the family wealth and the copied family tree presented by the parents. Engraved family trees, family trees together, they will have new families.
This is to prevent the expansion of clan power and the overriding of patriarchy.
Qing Chuan came over when he heard the voice from the window, opened the curtains and took a look: Huh?How did this golden-feathered bird come here?
He recognized it, and the temple has always used this little bird in contact with him, and he is familiar with both.
But I haven't been in touch with the temple recently. Could it be that there are some weird requests?

It turned out to be a thinly scraped piece of parchment.

The news of the Quiet Leader spread outside with the entry of several forces.
Many people are skeptical about this news. The reputation of the place of death is too loud, and no one knows what it is like inside.
During the rainy period of this year, finally a team of businessmen who are good at taking risks came to Jingjing to take the risk.
They are a small team of 12 people. They originally brought a carload of seafood and wanted to come to a small town nearby to sell it at a good price. Who knows that they went to a wave of marine merchants a few days ago. Their products are not as special as others, so they are unsalable. up.

The businessman didn't expect that there was a hotel nearby that specially entertained tourists, and he was overjoyed.A hostel is better than a private residence. Living in a private residence is likely to cause unnecessary disputes, while a hostel is more professional and the conditions are better.
She told them how to go, "When you see a tree with fan-shaped leaves floating, the Golden Leaf Hotel is next to it. The hotel provides food and hot water, which is convenient for three meals and washing."
"Thank you very much, lady."
She smiled mysteriously, "You're welcome, maybe we will meet again tomorrow."
"Oh my God……"
No one thought that there would be such a bustling street in such a secluded country place.On both sides are two-story brick and tile buildings of different shapes, trees are planted in front of the houses, and there is a wide bluestone road with carriages walking on the road.
The carriage is in the middle, and the pedestrians are on both sides, walking forward on the right and backward on the left, which looks very comfortable.
The street is very clean, with only a little bit of plaster, and no livestock manure and various domestic garbage that are common elsewhere.Pedestrians come and go in and out of different shops, including common cloth shops and cobbler shops, lively bars and mysterious magic material shops.
Merchants travel far and wide, and it is easy to recognize that those are real warriors and magicians, and the level will not be too low, at least not apprentices and sword waiters.
The most amazing and unexpected thing is that there are still single women on the street.They don't look like female warriors and magicians who are not easy to mess with, nor do they look like street girls. They are all girls from good families, with no flattery or flattery on their faces, and they are all doing something on their own.
No one looked at them with malicious eyes on the road.
The hooligans and beggars that can be seen everywhere in other places can't be seen.
Suddenly there was a cheer from the bar next to it. Several people looked over and saw a group of dwarf warriors and a group of orc warriors. They were holding cards, but they didn't look like the gambling cards passed down by the nobles that are popular outside. game.
A tall white wolf orc stood up, he was a handsome young man, he might be the leader of the group, everyone looked at him with respect, "It's late, don't play too late, we have to continue training tomorrow. You guys Drink slowly, I should go."
The person next to him uttered a narrow voice, asking the bartender to serve the drink while telling him to go quickly, "Don't keep your lord waiting."
"I'm really envious..." Someone whispered like this, he looked at the white wolf orc who was going out chicly with some jealousy, and said in a low voice: "If I also..."
"You don't have this..." His companion didn't know what to say.
"If you can make me... the guest of honor, even..."
The White Wolf Warrior did not leave the tavern directly, but went to a sweet-smelling shop next door and took out a large box of things.He wanted to give money to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper refused to accept it, and the two pushed and shoved a few times.
"If you don't accept it, I can't take it."
In the end, the shopkeeper accepted the money, and the White Wolf Warrior sped up the speed. Soon the news was at the end of the road.
The people here are really strange, the merchant thought, walking on.
"Gulu Gulu, Guru Gulu." The stomach kept making noises. The businessman glanced at the restaurants around him, and the smell of food kept wafting from them, while touching his stomach.
Why is the food here so delicious? Obviously they have already eaten the noodles, but their stomachs keep growling.
There was another grunt, and the businessman touched his stomach immediately, eh, no.He turned his head to look, and the brothers looked at him embarrassedly, and pressed their hands on his flat belly.
"Let's go to that store and have a look." The businessman looked around and saw that there were a lot of people in a certain store, and there were even a few magicians and warriors coming in and out, but there were also many working people at the bottom. He guessed that this store The food is good and the price is not expensive, so I decided to take my brothers to try it.
As soon as they approached, a boy wearing a blue turban and a blue short jacket came up, "How many guests? There is a manger behind, do you want to take the horse to rest behind? If people want to eat, horses have to eat too, right?" ?”
His appearance is clean and tidy, his smile is warm, and his speech is sharp and straightforward, which makes him feel comfortable listening.The merchant immediately felt a lot of goodwill, nodded, and asked two errand slaves to lead the horse and the goods to the backyard, and then two hired soldiers went to take care of the goods.
"Seven people in total," said the businessman.
There are only five people on his side now, but he will definitely have to replace the two soldiers guarding the goods for dinner later, so he said seven people.
The few remaining were slaves, and merchants would not buy them this kind of hot food specially, and usually the worst kind of pancakes would be dealt with.
The boy nodded and ushered them in, "Coincidentally, there are two empty tables. Come, please invite the guests."
The businessman looked around as he walked in. The torch hadn't been lit inside the store, so it was darker than the outside.On their right is an open-air kitchen. The kitchen is very clean, and there are no mice or bugs running around on the ground. It is different from the kitchen in the businessman's impression.
A chef in a white sackcloth apron and white hat prepares food.
The food he made is very special. He puts a yellow and delicate dough into a wooden tank, and when he squeezes it with a wooden hammer, strips of long and thin things like beards come out from below and fall directly into the boiling water below. .
In less than half a minute, the other party picked up those slender things, put them in a wooden bowl, sprinkled shredded cucumbers and carrots, poured a spoonful of brown sauce, and dripped a few drops with a small spoon. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with a little shallot.
This bowl is just fine.
A boy in the same blue jacket put bowls of long strips on the plate and delivered them to the table one by one.The businessman noticed that there was a strange symbol on each table, and the boy in blue knew whether to put things down or not just by looking at the symbol.
"Table [-], come, your noodles with mushroom sauce. Add noodles, minced meat, and a fried egg."
The businessman watched as he brought a bowl of thin and long things to a guest of the orc tribe. This bowl was larger than others, and the weight was also larger. There was a big spoonful of brown oily meat foam on it and a sun egg.
The orc guest used two thin sticks on the table to skillfully stir the thin things with shredded vegetables, sauce, and minced meat, picked them up, and ate them with big mouthfuls, and then took a big bite of the sun egg , the egg yolk flowed down and dripped on the plate.
The businessman swallowed a mouthful of saliva: that expression is simply too beautiful.
Really that delicious?
The businessman found that most people were eating this thin and long thing. There were several kinds of sauces, and they could add noodles, a spoonful of minced meat, a large piece of meat or fried eggs for extra money.There is a rich magician in front of him, and his bowl contains two tablespoons of meat and a sun egg.
In addition to noodles, each table has a small bowl of soup, which is chopped green vegetables and pieces of white things.
Everyone lowered their heads and inhaled, each and every one was so happy, it made everyone hungry.
They are drawn to corner positions.
Usually the corner location is not good, there are mosquitos and mice.But this store is very clean, although it is a corner, there is a small window not far away, the light and ventilation are good, there is no damp and moldy smell, and it even smells a little fragrant.
They noticed that there was still a pottery vase with several flowers in it on the table.
"What is this?" This small shop is so clean and romantic, the businessman feels a little uncomfortable. He usually enters a shop that is only for nobles to be so uncomfortable. His hands are so dirty that he can't even show it.
"This is a kind of flower that will drive away bugs, and bugs don't like the smell of this flower." The blue-clothed boy explained, and asked them what they want to eat, "Our store is most famous for all kinds of noodles, my lord I’ve eaten here before. The price is not expensive, a bowl of plain noodles costs thirteen small coins. This is food made of wheat flour and a little corn flour, if it’s outside, it’s more than that.”
This is true, things made from wheat flour have always been expensive.
But a meal costs more than a dozen pennies, which is not cheap, and you can buy a lot of noodles.
The businessman endured his distress and ordered seven bowls of vegetarian noodles.The rule of this restaurant is to pay after ordering, so he gave the money, one copper coin for one copper coin, and it feels distressing to take out each coin.
I haven't earned much, but I have used a lot along the way.
After a while, the same boy brought seven bowls of soup with green leaves and white lumps floating inside.
The businessman said anxiously: "We didn't order this."
"Guests, don't worry." The young man reassured him, "As long as you order a meal, our restaurant will give you a bowl of soup. Today is green vegetable tofu soup. This recipe is from the Lord's Mansion, and it tastes good. You guys drink it first Order some soup, and the noodles will be here in a while."
free?
Isn't it the way of buying and selling by force, foreigners like them?
This sentence extinguished half of the pain of spending money at once.Although this noodle is a bit more expensive, but when you think about it being made with wheat flour and giving soup as a gift, it feels like you've actually made money.
He picked up a spoon and took a sip, um, it tasted really good, and he didn't skimp on the salt, it was moderately salty and had a special taste.So he ate tofu, which was white and tender, crumbled as soon as he bit it, with a refreshing taste of green vegetables.
It was the first time the businessman ate such a wonderful thing, and he fell in love with it immediately.
Others loved it too, and they haven't had food that's warm and desirable in ages.
When the boy came over again with a plate of noodles, he was surprised to find five empty bowls on the table, with no soup left.
"Seven bowls of vegetarian noodles, please take your time."
The slender golden noodles look like a hill, with a circle of green melon and red carrot on the top, a big spoonful of brown soybean paste, a little golden transparent vegetable oil and a few scallions.
"It actually added some oil." A soldier said in surprise.
Vegetable oil is not cheap, and it is usually used to make balm and massage oil. The balm made from a bottle of olive oil outside is enough for ordinary people to buy a bottle for a year.The few drops of oil on the noodles are definitely an unexpected big surprise.
Well worth the money!
They don't know how to use two thin sticks. Fortunately, there are wooden forks on the table, so they use wooden forks to stir, roll up a roll, and put it in their mouths.
Ah!
The tip of the tongue has just touched it, and it is a very special, very fresh, with a bit of thick, salty taste inside, not like salt, but a very complicated taste.
They tried to bite off the noodles, and the well-stirred noodles danced in their mouths with a strong aroma, soft, springy and slippery, and a completely different feeling from the white bread made of fine noodles .
Together with the crunchy shredded cucumber and carrot, it adds a completely different texture to the rich sauce.
As expected of something made of fine noodles, how can it be so delicious?
The more they eat, the more fragrant they become, the more they chew, the more flavorful they become. The merchants devour the noodles and almost bury their heads in them. After eating the noodles, there are still a few leftovers on the plate, so they grab them carefully with their fingers and eat them, even licking off a little sauce on top. .
The body and spirit are fully satisfied, and all the hard work after the long journey is worthwhile at this moment.
"This must be the food on the king's table, right?" The businessman, who felt that it was not enough, wanted to eat another plate, tried his best to restrain himself.
Wait for the next time, no, after the products are sold out, they will have a good meal with meat and eggs!
"Hahahaha, in fact, all the famous delicacies on this street are recipes from the lord's mansion. At first, it seemed that the lord thought that the three meals of the teachers were too bad, so he sent a puppet who was proficient in gourmet food. Slowly, the food spread outside." A young soldier next door said.
"The lord treats those teachers as treasures." A goblin wearing rough clothes also said, "In the end, it's all for the children, so that they can get a better education and have more opportunities in the future."
When it comes to the lord, many people who were eating noodles quietly raised their heads and looked at the merchants who were obviously different from them, with a little pride on their expressions.
"Are you foreigners? Do you know our lord?"
The author has something to say: Leader: Dear, do you know Amway?
