Chapter 198: The Current Situation at Kannas
Because it was a surprise inspection, the canteen of the arsenal was not special, and it was still the same as a normal workers' meal, simple and simple, but also delicious.
Each worker's meal was the same, one meat and two vegetables, a stir-fried plantain with black pork, a dried stir-fried Dolan peas and a fried egg-fried Yuzhi eggplant, such a dish was unusually hearty for the Norren people who were used to eating black bread and drinking inferior beer.
After all, there is meat in the dish! What a blessing it is to have meat to eat in such an era!
"Yo, there's a plantain!" said Murphy in surprise as he picked up a piece of plantain and stuffed it into his mouth.
You know, this thing is not so easy to obtain, this is a kind of grass that grows on the nose of the giant wood beast before it reaches adulthood, because of its delicious taste and crisp taste, it goes down to the hare and goes down to the third-level monster wild pig.
Especially the wild pig is the most troublesome, this creature is similar to the appearance of the wild boar, but twice as large, there are a lot of wild pigs living in the Ersor Mountains, it is the biggest natural enemy of hunters in the mountains, the skin is thick and even the low-level enchanted sword and spear can not penetrate, the best way to deal with it is to spare it, because this thing is very protective of food, any creature as long as it is close to the range of fifty meters when it eats will definitely be attacked.
"Although the plantainium is rare in other places, isn't it more or less at the foot of our Ersor Mountains? The plantainium that grows next to a giant wood beast is enough for a normal family to eat for three days! Not to mention that there are many giant wood beasts in the mountains!" said Jeffrey, picking up a piece of black pork.
"On the contrary, this jade tomato is more expensive, the wholesale price from the Chamber of Commerce was about one ton of hardware naso, about five copper naso can buy a kilogram, but because of the closure of the trade route, now this kilogram will be sold for ten copper naso, or if the price is controlled, I really don't know how high the price of food in the city will soar if there is no city hall to control the price!" As he spoke, Jeffrey took a bite of the jade tomato fiercely.
Murphy himself also likes to eat Yuzhi eggplant, because its texture and taste and appearance are very similar to the tomatoes in the previous life, but the whole body is bright white, very beautiful, not only the output is large and the storage time is also very long, can ensure that a month and a half of time does not rot, but it has higher requirements for temperature, the north is only produced by the three counties in the south, but because of the war some time ago, the trade route was blocked, so the Crescent Chamber of Commerce only has more than 200 tons of Yuzhi eggplant in stock.
During the two-week or so closure of the trade route, the stock of Yuzhi eggplant in the Chamber of Commerce was about to be sold out, so it had to keep increasing the price, but fortunately, the war ended quickly, the trade route was opened again, and the team sent out to purchase set off again under the protection of the guards, and went to Ceretton to purchase, and it is expected that there will be a week to return, and the stock in the city should be enough to eat.
However, the local way of eating raw or roasted directly made Murphy very resistant, and determined to change the way people eat, so he cooked again after nearly four months, so that the chefs knew that the best combination of jade tomato and eggs is a rice killer!
"Don't worry! for more than a week at most, when the caravan returns, we will have enough supplies again. Murphy poured the soup from the scrambled eggs onto the rice and stirred well.
"It's still delicious!" Alsace couldn't help but admire as he learned Murphy's way of eating.
The crowd did not waste food, and all the meals were eaten in the sound of conversation.
Just when Murphy and the others were having dinner in the cafeteria, Rowling and his party, who were more than 1,200 kilometers away, finally arrived in Canas County.
"Here...... It's hell!" Xiao Anqi sat in the carriage, looked at the scene on both sides of the road, resisted the desire to vomit, and sighed.
On both sides of the road stood an endless stretch of gallows, on which hung the corpses with hoods, and a group of fat and muscular wild dogs were constantly jumping to bite the corpses hanging on them, many of which were already missing legs, and were dragged down by the wild dogs below with the roots of their thighs.
Several wild dogs also worked together to knock down a gallows, and then rushed up to eat the corpse, and in a few moments the corpse disappeared on the spot, and there was not even a trace of blood, because the blood had been drained more than a month earlier.
As the weather warms up and the temperature gradually rises, the corpses that were hung up in early spring have now begun to decompose, and maggots are constantly wriggling in the rotten flesh that the corpses have turned out, and some of the corpses are not even willing to be eaten by wild dogs, so they are lying on the side of the road, with a big hole in the abdomen, which has become the base camp of corpse maggots, and there are wriggling white bugs as far as the eye can see.
"You humans, orcs, and the like are so barbaric, but they still claim to be civilized, and every time a war breaks out, it is commonplace to slaughter cities and destroy villages! I have lived under the Gang Truscan Mountains for forty or fifty years, and I have seen too many such things, and when I first saw them, I had the same reaction as the two of you, and I got used to seeing more. The demon wolf Astock put his two front paws on the car window and glanced at the shocked Rowling and Angel next to him.
"If you haven't faced war head-on, you don't know the horrors of war. Angel suddenly remembered what her father, who was fighting abroad, used to say.
"yes. I always thought I knew a lot, from magic to politics, but today I saw what barbarism is and what humanity is. Rowling stopped the vomiting sensation in her stomach and turned pale.
"You two get used to it as soon as possible! More than a thousand kilometers from now on, there are such scenes everywhere, burned villages, homeless civilians and efforts, gallows and corpses on the gallows on the roadside, and I have a hunch that in a few months at most, there will be more fighting on a larger scale in this land. Astoke sighed helplessly, flicked his tail twice, and lay down on the velvet cushion.
"Alas, I know what you're talking about, the land-grabbing aristocratic armies will fight harder than the rebels. Rowling shook her head and sighed.
"After all, that's tens of millions of hectares of land, and even if he can eat it all, he won't be able to maintain stability, and he will inevitably throw this piece of meat out, and when the time comes, with the virtues of that group of nobles, he will inevitably encroach on the interests here before Duke Kanas returns from Jackdaw Fortress, and then the Duke will have to pinch his nose and admit it anyway. Yastork's tail flicked in boredom.
"Perhaps for the country, the aristocracy is an obstacle, hindering the development of the country, and the orders of the palace will not be actively implemented by anyone, as can be seen from this rebellion, everyone wants to be alone, but everyone can't run, if in the early stage of the rebellion, the nobles will unite to destroy the rebels, maybe it will not be so devastated. Rowling said in a sad tone.
"But the aristocratic system that has been practiced in our country for two or three thousand years! The aristocratic power is intertwined and cannot be changed at all, and you, me, and Xiao Anqi are all nobles. Cross listened outside and couldn't help but say.
"Who knows? That's your human nation's business. Yastork opened his mouth and yawned.
