My days as a landlord in Gotham

(two)

At this time, Jing Ke was sitting on the sofa in the guest room, smoking a cigarette in a daze.

After a night of rest, he realized how absurd his decision was.

I actually listened to an inexplicable voice in my mind, and then came to this strange world.

Although Jing Ke found that he could understand the language and many things in this world, he instinctively felt that these languages ​​and things did not belong to him, but were instilled into his mind by others.

As the most famous assassin in the Warring States Period, Jing Ke has of course seen many dark things, and he has also seen that some guys really have a way to stuff things into other people's minds.

But these methods are often very cruel, and the success rate is not high, and at the same time, there are only a few things that can be remembered in the end.

But he actually accepted all this so easily, which made Jing Ke have to doubt.

Also, the life here is too luxurious.

Luxury is the deadliest thing for an assassin, because as long as an assassin knows how to enjoy, then his death is not far away.

But last night I not only enjoyed the most comfortable hot bath in the past two months, but also enjoyed the most comfortable sleep in my life.

Jing Ke made friends of all kinds, including nobles and wealthy merchants, but Jing Ke dared to swear that even the Yan Palace did not have such a comfortable bed.

The soft mattress seemed to support his already stiff bones with the softest hands, and the comfortable quilt seemed to cover him like nothing.

And this sofa, and the cigarette in my hand.

According to what the landlord said, although this thing is refreshing, it is also very harmful to the body.

When I took the first sip, I felt like my lungs were about to burn.

But after I got used to the spicy and stimulating taste, it did clear up my numb mind, otherwise I wouldn't be thinking about so many problems here.

Jing Ke still attaches great importance to his own identity and reputation.

The Spring and Autumn and Warring States period can be called the most chaotic era in Chinese history. No one is easy to survive in such a chaotic world.

Especially someone like Jing Ke who has traveled across the Seven Kingdoms and made his own name is the "proud son" of this era

Jing Ke believes that the biggest difference between himself and other assassins is that he never kills for money. If he kills, then that person must be worthy of being killed.

In Jing Ke's view, he is the one who does justice for the sky.

For example, accepting Yan Taizidan's invitation this time, Jing Ke felt that he was going to do something that would cause a sensation in the world and be famous in history.

As long as the prince is killed, Yan and other countries can continue to live.

Just to assassinate such a prominent figure, Jing Ke spent more time studying King Qin than before, and the more he studied him, he found that he seemed to be unable to do so.

In the eyes of the six kingdoms of Shandong, Qin is tyrannical.

But Jing Ke has been to Qin State several times. Although he is not rich, the common people have a satisfied expression.

Although the laws of Qin State are indeed very strict and cruel, if you do not break the law, then Qin State seems to be a good place to live.

Moreover, under such strict laws, Qin State seems to have the so-called ancient sages who do not close their doors at night and do not pick up lost things on the road.

So, should King Qin really be killed?

After thinking about it, Jing Ke couldn't help but put the unsmoked cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, then got up and went downstairs to have breakfast, hoping he didn't miss the time.

When Jing Ke came to the restaurant downstairs, Li Lei had already distributed the soup dumplings and porridge.

Seeing Jing Ke arrive at the restaurant, Li Lei said: "I thought you would miss the time.

Fortunately, I prepared enough servings today, just wait a moment. "

With that said, Li Lei got up and brought over the breakfast reserved for Jing Ke.

Although Li Lei doesn't like Jing Ke, he won't hold him back in this regard.

Jing Ke felt Li Lei's alienation, and he was not surprised at all. The assassins are often alone.

If the assassin's friendliness is high, then the assassin should switch careers to become a merchant.

Jing Ke took a bite of the soup dumpling, and the fluffy dumpling skin and the incomparably delicious broth immediately filled his mouth.

Jing Ke thought that he had eaten a lot of delicacies, but this was the first time he encountered such a simple but delicious food.

He couldn't help but took another bite, and savored it carefully.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said in disbelief: "The skin of this soup cake is actually wheat?

And this minced meat is actually pork?

But why does pork meat have such a taste?

There are also several seasonings that I can't tell the difference, but there seems to be sea food. "

Wheat was actually introduced into China from the ancient Mesopotamia in the late summer and early Shang Dynasty. But like rice, although wheat and rice are included in the five grains, the actual planting area and application range are very limited.

In the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, millet and bean were relatively common staple foods.

Millet is broomcorn, one of the first crops domesticated by the Chinese. Because of its relatively simple planting and processing methods, even though its nutritional value is not as good as that of wheat and rice, its planting area is also the widest, and it is also the most important in that era. staple food.

Shu is a leguminous plant. Of course, its nutritional value is not as good as its cousins, but it is also the staple food after millet because of its early popularity.

Unfortunately, before the discovery of soymilk and tofu methods, most of the vegetable protein rich in legumes was wasted.

But even so, for the Chinese civilization that lacks animal protein intake sources, legumes such as beans are simply gifts from heaven.

As for dolphin, although the history of domestication continues, few people like to eat it.

Because before the discovery of castration technology, the taste of pork meat was indeed too fishy, ​​and pigs are actually relatively lively animals, so it is not cost-effective to raise them.

In the future, when someone finds out that the porcupines who cut off a knife suddenly lost their preference for freedom and became lazy and delicious, and the meat was no longer smelly, porpoise became the most important meat on the Chinese table.

Otherwise, in ancient times, mutton and beef were the most popular meats.

It's a pity that the Chinese civilization has always lacked pastures, so the cattle and sheep herding industry has not risen. Coupled with the importance of cattle to farmers, the preciousness of beef is really similar to that of Wagyu.

And before there are no improved breeds of sheep, the meat production rate of China's sheep is not high.

Therefore, for the ancient Chinese, animal protein was very precious.

So for Jing Ke, this kind of pork soup cake made of wheat really made him feel strange.

"This is called steamed stuffed bun, but it was indeed called soup cake in your era."

Li Lei said, “The skin of buns is made by peeling wheat and grinding it into flour, mixing with water and adding yeast.

With the help of yeast, the nutrition of wheat can be absorbed by us more easily, and it also makes the skin of buns made of wheat flour very fluffy and has a hint of sweetness.

As for pork, it's because you don't know how to castrate them yet, and when you do, you'll all love pork.

I also added cabbage to the pork meat, which is related to the womb cabbage you eat, but the taste of cabbage is better and it is also cold-resistant.

Other than that, there are some seasonings.

These seasonings are far away from China, and it is difficult to obtain them with your current means of transportation. "

"That's really a pity."

That's what Jing Ke said.

For Jing Ke, food is good, but it is not what he pursues.

Seeing Jing Ke's indifferent appearance, Li Lei's evaluation of Jing Ke dropped a bit.

If it was King Qin, even if Crown Prince Dan of Yan came, he would definitely ask how to improve and process the wheat and what the yeast is after hearing what Li Lei said just now; at the same time, he would definitely be interested in how to castrate the dolphin... because All this will help them feed their people.

For the rulers, they are very clear that as long as their people have enough to eat, they will definitely sit firmly in the world.

It's a pity that although Jing Ke is brave and resourceful, his vision still determines his achievements. Li Lei sighed silently in his heart.

After breakfast, Jing Ke got up suddenly and said, "I checked the nearby map, and I decided to take a walk around.

Don't worry, although I have heard about your Gotham name, I am confident that I still have the ability to protect myself.

And you also know what kind of profession I am engaged in, I will not do it casually.

So you don't have to follow me, I will come back naturally at night. "

After speaking, Jing Ke got up and left the restaurant, and not long after, everyone heard the sound of the living room door closing.

"Let him go, with his ability, at least he can come back here with a breath."

Li Lei said.

As long as Jing Ke is still breathing in the apartment, Li Lei has countless ways to ensure that he can survive.

Therefore, Li Lei was not worried that Jing Ke would go wandering alone like Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong had something on his mind, and Jing Ke probably wasn't used to people following him.

For an assassin, the more alone, the more at ease.

"Okay, according to the rules, Jason is in charge of cleaning up after breakfast today."

Li Lei said to Jason.

Although Jason put on a crying face, he obediently went to clean up the restaurant.

For older children, it is only natural to share part of the housework.

What's more, Li Lei also allowed them to exchange household tasks for pocket money or other things they were interested in.

"Adam, you will follow me to the meditation room in the basement later, and I will give you basic training as a priest."

"Li, are you going to teach Adam the skills?"

Jason asked very happily.

Because Li Lei didn't hand over Jason to Bruce for training, coupled with Li Lei's butterfly effect, the first and second generation Robin disappeared, and the third generation Robin came up.

It is precisely because Jason has not been blackened, and because Li Lei and Hiroshi Hamada care about him enough, Jason is no different from ordinary American boys.

Now he is naturally happy for his good friend and roommate Adam. After all, even if Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi don't say anything, Jason can feel that his team will definitely not leave "waste".

of.

"Yes, I think it's also a good choice for us to have a priest to help us with treatment."

Li Lei nodded and admitted, "Although our medicine has long surpassed human civilization, I have to admit that there are still many injuries and illnesses that are beyond the scope of our medicine.

Therefore, it is also a good choice for our team to have a priest. "

"I also think you have a good idea."

Hamada Hiroshi nodded, "In particular, you can also teach him the two life skills of potion making and enchanting, so that we have a greater advantage in the production of potions and magic props."

Hamada Hiroshi knew that many of Li Lei's cheap potions and magic props were sold to the system mall. Although the prices of these things were not high, but Li Lei's output was high, so he slowly filled up the system mall's gold coins up.

This is undoubtedly good news for Hamada Hiroshi, who needs to consume a lot of system mall output.

So he naturally encouraged Adam to join in.
