The scholar touched his bachelor's necklace, a dozen pieces of metal hanging around his neck and swaying gently, and he smiled, "Sir Kaivon, you have not been in the Westside recently, so you don't know about the strange and incredible changes that have taken place in Sir Gregor......"
“...... What's in the Magic Mountain...... Amazing change ......"
"Strictly speaking, his change happened about a month ago, and it started as a severe headache. ”
"I know that he has been suffering from headaches and needs to drink a lot of poppy milk. ”
Tywin interjected, "You can't drink poppy milk, what I know is that Eddard Stark in the North is sick and injured and almost never drinks poppy milk. ”
"Yes, poppy milk can cure diseases, help sleep, and relieve pain, but drinking too much can form a serious dependence. It can also cause damage to the body. The bachelor said.
"And what happened to Gregor's headache?" asked Kevon.
He fell into a coma and had a high fever. "Bachelor Road.
"I thought he was going to die, and I had already arranged for him. Tywin waved his hand and motioned for the maid to bring down the 'bitter' bacon soup.
"But the Magic Mountain is fine now!" said Kevon.
"Yes, after three days he woke up, and after a few days of rest, the man felt changed, and he was silent, and even the Duke talked to him, and he didn't pay much attention to it, and then one day he suddenly offered to go back to Fort Klegane to have a look, to rest and recuperate. The Duke feared that something would happen to him, so he sent Sergeant Potter back with him, along with three of his loyal subordinate officers. ”
"Sweet-mouthed Raff, executioner Dunson, dead Polivier. Kaivon came casually.
"Yes, it was these three people who accompanied him back, and of course the little bachelor Potter sent by the Duke. According to Master Potter, after returning to Fort Klegane, the Magic Mountain stopped drinking poppy milk, and tied himself to a stone bed to forcibly quit the dependence on poppy milk. It was two days before he got up from the stone bed. It may be that from that time on, he seemed to suddenly become enlightened, and people inexplicably became wise......"
"Wisdom, Magic Mountain, how is it possible?"
Tywin interjected, "The Magic Mountain himself said that it was because of the Seven Gods, and he also hired craftsmen to build a Seven Sacred Hall. He said that he had received the light of the seven gods, and that he had suddenly learned a lot that he had never known. ”
"God the Father is judgment, Our Lady God is nurturing, Warrior God is battle, Maiden God is purity, Blacksmith God is handicraft, Death is a stranger, and only the old woman God represents wisdom, and if he receives wisdom and knowledge, then he can only receive the light of the old woman, not the light of the seven gods. Kaivon said he didn't believe Magic Mountain's words.
"I believe he received the light of the seven gods. Tywin said.
Kaivon's mouth opened to speak, but he was frozen by Tywin's words, he opened his mouth and stammered, and after a long while, he said, "Well, I believe that the Demon Mountain said that he received the light of the seven gods. ”
"Don't believe it, the Magic Mountain has a very wonderful military invention. Sport smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Military?"
"Let's not talk about the military sentry first, let's go to the top line. Tywin said.
"Yes, sir. The three servants who were waiting on the side immediately brought the noodles that had been prepared long ago.
The noodles are stubby, slippery, and loach-like, and a far cry from the white noodles of the Earth civilization that crossed into the Polytechnic Men of Gregor University, or rather, more like knife-cut noodles. It's just that this side is not knife-cut, but handmade, so the size is different and the shape is very irregular.
Kevon noticed that the servant had placed a small, flat wooden box about the length of a dagger in front of each of the Bachelor and the Duke of Tywin, and in his own noodle bowl, the old rule, a knife and fork.
"You don't have knives and forks in your bowls?" said Kevon's face was full of confusion.
According to the rules, it will not be on the noodles at this time. In addition, barbecue, roast meat, bread, lettuce, honey, fruits, wine, snacks, desserts, etc. are not served, which completely violates the order and rules of serving.
"We use what's in the box. The bachelor laughed.
Lady Tywin opened the box and took out two small round sticks, two strange things of the same size and length, and wrapped in bright silver silk, with a red ribbon tied in the middle with a chic butterfly pattern.
Kaivon's eyes were a little straight.
"What is it?" he heard his own voice a little strange.
This thing is so strange that I have never seen it before.
Looking at this exquisite silk packaging, it is estimated that it is a new thing from the free trade city-state on the other side of the Narrow Sea.
"Chopsticks!" said the Bachelor.
"Invented by Magic Mountain. These are chopsticks that he made with great care, and he specially came to give them to me. Tywin didn't lift his head and began to eat the noodles with chopsticks.
Kevon saw that his mouth was open again, and he couldn't close it at all.
He lived to be fifty-three years old when he heard and saw 'chopsticks' for the first time. He looked at the knife and fork in his bowl, and couldn't help but touch the bowl lightly with the knife and fork, making two clanging sounds.
The bachelor also began to eat noodles with chopsticks.
Kaivon understood why Duke Tywin didn't serve other meat and vegetables and brought a bowl of noodles first, just to let him see how the chopsticks ate the noodles.
"And chopsticks?"
"Yes, but don't look at this thing as convenient to eat noodles, easy to use, if you use it for the first time, I keep you unstable, you are not used to it, and it is likely to fall to the ground, you would rather use a knife and fork. But as long as you stick to it for a while and try a lot, you will quickly master the method of picking up noodles with chopsticks, which is ten times better than eating noodles with a knife and fork. The bachelor laughed.
"It's also very convenient to eat vegetables, especially vegetables and meat in the soup. Because it is wooden, it is not afraid of high temperatures and will not be hot. Tywin said. He looked up from the bowl and looked at Kaivon, "I saw that Gregor is very convenient and easy to use with chopsticks, so I decided to use chopsticks to give it a try, and it was really not easy at first, and my chopsticks fell to the ground." ”
Kaivon's heart was clear, and with Tywin's competitive personality, he couldn't afford to lose to Gregor, so the Duke quickly mastered the skill of using chopsticks, and also liked the new 'cutlery'.
"How can you conclude that this is the chopsticks invented by the Magic Mountain and not the long-standing custom of the Oriental people on the other side of the Narrow Sea?"
"The Magic Mountain won't lie to me!" Tywin glared at Kaivon, "If there were people on the other side of the Narrow Sea who were producing and using chopsticks, I would have known about it before the Magic Mountain." ”
"Yes, Lord Duke!" said Kevon. Duke Tywin's words convinced him of his suspicions. He wasn't suspicious of Tywin, he didn't want to believe the Magic Mountain.
Lady Tywin ate a bowl of noodles with chopsticks with great dexterity and speed, while Sir Kevon ate only half of it. Eating noodles with knives and forks, although you are used to it, it really can't be compared with the convenience and speed of chopsticks.
"From now on, the Lannisters will eat with chopsticks. Tywin said, "This is the wisdom of the old woman's light, no one in the Seven Kingdoms can use chopsticks, and the royal family will not use them, no matter how noble and ancient the nobles have ever seen and used chopsticks, except for the Lannisters." ”
"But how do you cut the barbecue with chopsticks?" said Kevon, who had a big problem.
"Gregor never cuts the roast meat himself, and he has a little adopted daughter named Julie, so he cuts the roast meat for him, and cuts the boiled animal meat pieces. Chefs can also cut up the roast and serve it on a plate in the kitchen. Tywin said, "We don't have to cut the meat ourselves. ”
"Yes, Lord Duke. Kevon knew it must have been Tywin watching Gregor perform how to eat meat with chopsticks.
"The Lannisters will lead the way in new fashion, and I'm sure other nobles will follow suit and learn from it. Maester Potter announced singing.
Hearing that it would lead to a new fashion, it dawned on Kai Feng.
No wonder Duke Tywin summoned him back, no wonder Duke Tywin made the first mention today, if it really attracted other nobles to follow suit, the glory and civilization influence of the West would be above the other six nations, not just because of gold. And that's exactly what Tywin had been hoping for.
By the way, there is also the unique snow salt. For the aristocracy who were particular about the beauty of food, once used, snow salt was something they could no longer dispense with. And the snow salt comes from the west.
