Chapter Forty-Five: A Meal in the Winter

Obviously, it is winter now, and the biting cold wind is whistling by, making people's bones cold, but Balk and the others are still sweaty.

They carried reusable stones, struggled with hoes to clear the open lawn, no one complained or gossiped, everyone was very positive.

In the distance, the carriage came again, followed by a small trailer.

The sound of the trailer's wooden wheels rolling on the gravel was particularly loud, Balk raised his head and wiped the sweat on his face when he heard the sound, he squinted at the cauldron on the trailer, then looked at the sun hanging in the sky, and licked his dry lips, "It's the City Lord's Mansion who sent food." ”

As soon as he heard the two words of eating, the big guy's stomach instantly gurgled, and they all stopped their movements.

"It's beans. Someone in the crowd said.

None of the others spoke, agreeing with the man.

Their staple food has always been beans, which have a large yield, a strong sense of satiety, and after soaking in water, they swell and eat until they have a strong stomach.

"Something is better than nothing. Balk thought clearly, and said to the people around him, "It's because of the kindness of the city lord that we are provided with food for free, and we have copper plates for our work! ”

Everyone nodded, but as the cart approached a little bit, everyone saw a large cauldron placed on it, and the fragrance couldn't wait to take the first step, followed by the cold wind lingering on the tip of the nose of Balk and the others.

"Is this a bean? or something else, it smells so good!"

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and even the aroma they were reluctant to inhale more, and they all carefully took a sip of the subtle taste in the air and savored it.

Their fiery gaze was glued to the cauldron, not wanting to let go for a moment.

"How can it smell so good! My god of light, I have never smelled anything so fragrant. One of Balk's side sucked.

Jiang Yan jumped out of the carriage and didn't even distract them from the slightest bit of attention.

Here in Alicante City, Jiang Yan's beauty is not as attractive as a pot of food.

As the cauldron slowly opened, the aroma came to his nose, and Balk looked at it, his pupils dilated instantly, "Meat! It's all meat!"

It would be too much exaggeration to say that it was all meat, Jiang Yan's head was full of black lines, and there were not only beans and cube-sized beast meat in it, but also full of wheat.

Because the meat is cut into large pieces, it rises and falls inside, and it looks like a lot.

"Is this really what we eat?" Balk was a little unsure.

Their meat is scarce, and with the exception of a few lucky bunnies that can be picked up on the periphery, the rest of the time they have to wait until spring to buy them from nomadic merchants, or to buy two pieces at a high price with hunters who come to hunt in spring.

There is no danger on the periphery of the Misty Forest, but it is full of terrifying magical beasts.

Every year, there are people who are not afraid of death, sneaking behind the hunters to pick up some bargains, but few of them can come back intact.

Even Brooke couldn't pack a ticket to go deep into the depths of the Misty Forest and retreat, and only those hunters who had experienced the baptism of a strong body dared to go in and hunt.

In Alicante, the only way to judge whether a person is really rich or not depends on whether he can eat a bite of meat.

The sound of Balk swallowing saliva was too loud, which made Jiang Yan a little surprised.

The previous city lord liked to eat meat, and he stored dried meat and bacon from a cellar in the city lord's mansion, and there was even a small magic array full of fresh meat.

It is precisely because of these stores that Jiang Yan has meat to give them to eat, which may be the only good thing that the previous city lord did during his reign, Jiang Yan thought silently.

Bowls of lunch full of meat were distributed to the twenty-four working people, and they all slipped their saliva, and no one dared to do anything, but Balk couldn't help but ask, "Lord Castle?"

Facing twenty-four pairs of extremely expectant and incredulous eyes, Jiang Yan pretended to be silent, making Balk hold his breath in fear, for fear that Jiang Yan would say something that would disappoint him.

Everyone's eyes widened, trembling tightly holding the wooden bowl, and their eyes finally stared at Jiang Yan.

They don't dare to expect anything, but the more this time, the more they look forward to it.

"Of course it's yours. Jiang Yan suddenly burst into a bright smile, "This cauldron!

"Oh!!Thank you Lord for your gift! Thank you to the God of Light!"

The crowd erupted in ecstatic cheers!

"I've got five pieces of meat in my bowl!" shouted one of them, trembling.

"What is this!" the other retorted, "I have eight pieces in my bowl!

The dilapidated chapel was instantly filled with the smell of merrily, and they chatted happily with each other about how delicious the lunch was today.

"There's a lot more in the pot, and each person can hold two large bowls. Jiang Yan's words pushed the atmosphere of this scene to a climax.

Everyone cheered repeatedly, thanking the lord of the castle and the god of light.

There is light in everyone's eyes.

It's just a lunch with meat.

She smiled as she watched everyone feasting, and suddenly once again understood the meaning of sitting in the position of the city lord.

"When the city of Alicante is planted with rice, and every household can eat white rice, then you will know that you are not eating anything at all. Jiang Yan muttered to herself.

But she didn't know that many years later, these twenty-four people would still remember that winter, and their lord of Alicante brought a hot lunch with meat, beans, and wheat, the most enjoyable and nostalgic meal they had ever eaten.

Jiang Yan didn't mean to stay here all day to supervise the work, she was a typical lazy personality, since she had handed it over to Balke, of course Jiang Yan was patting her ass and being a happy shopkeeper.

Of course, before leaving, Jiang Yan pulled a cufflink from the cuff and let Balk hold it.

"If you need materials and can't find me, you can take this cufflink to the City Lord's Mansion to find Yager. Jiang Yan was very thoughtful.

Balk put the cufflinks into his bag, slapped his chest and shouted with great momentum: "I swear by the god of light!

Jiang Yan patted him on the shoulder, expressing her expectation.

According to Balk's state today, it is estimated that it will not take seven days to sort out this place, Jiang Yan sat in the carriage and waved goodbye to the twenty-four energetic people.
