Chapter 281: The Last Leisure
Today's dinner was extraordinary. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's a must, even if there aren't so many guests, just Carlil's return alone is enough to put a big table of dishes on the table. Although the portions will not be so much, the dishes will certainly not be less. Now this table of chicken, duck and fish broth seems to have increased a little bit because of the large number of people.
If it weren't for the return of this group of people, it would have been a long time since Andris Castle had made such a sumptuous feast. Because there is only one master at home, Gahia, unfortunately, Gahia is usually worried about this and that, and he has no appetite alone. So for a long time in the past, the dishes here were very simple and even the portions were very small.
But even if it is so much for the sake of the guests, it seems that it is a little overwhelming. Kaliel knew it, but Gahia didn't expect it. When the meal arrived in the middle of the tour, Gahia was still thinking about whether to add something, but was stopped by Karil in time.
In addition to Red Lotus and Xiao Yi, the rest of Angelo, Raymond, and Florosa were all in their own workshops in the past, and they all developed eating habits together at that time, even if they couldn't maintain so politeness, they had to eat openly, as if they hadn't eaten in thirty years. But in reality, this does not mean that they eat a lot, and they will quickly stop when they are full, wipe their mouths as if nothing had happened, and take a sip of wine gracefully.
In the past, the conditions in the workshop were a little worse at the beginning, and it was almost a workshop set up by Natalia alone. There's no way to make much money right away, so the food hasn't been too good, and although Natalia has good skills, the dishes aren't very oily. After that, the workshop improved somewhat, and there was enough money to hire servants and cooks, and there were many more people in the workshop than before. Although there is oil and water, it is often divided into two batches, and the things made in a small kitchen in the workshop are not enough to satisfy everyone at one time for a long time. In addition to the tempting taste of the dishes produced by Natalia, it is also a big incentive to be eaten by others without grabbing it. After all, watching others eat on the side is a very uncomfortable thing......
At that time, everyone was very casual, except for the necessary respect for Natalia, fighting and making trouble was commonplace, and there were no rules and regulations. Even if he usually looks mild-mannered, he will become like a wolf when it comes to mealtime, and the whole person will immediately become many times more ferocious.
Even Flosa, who looked the most calm in the group, was no exception, and although he was not as exaggerated as Angelo, he had no less in the bowl than he was.
Every time she saw this, Kahlil had the illusion that she hadn't fed them in the first place......
But in fact, until the middle of the period, the food cost is the largest expense of the workshop after the alchemy raw materials, and it is simply unprofitable to increase the food workshop.
Of course, Andris's situation is not known how many times better than the workshop in the middle of the period, and this little problem of eating can still be satisfied anyway. So a group of people around the big table desperately ate and drank as if they had no head, and they also filled their stomachs when they were about to eat, and stopped contentedly. Transformed into polite, if it weren't for the burps of Red Lotus and Angelo from time to time, it would be almost impossible to match the appearance of grabbing food just now with the current human appearance.
Tonight's feast was a combination of the crafts that Carlil had taught him before, and it was a delicious meal of the mountains and the sea. If you can't satisfy these people's appetites here, there's really nowhere else you can do it.
After a full meal, everyone finally began to do some business, and after resting and drinking tea in the living room, they exchanged opinions with Gahia. At the same time, Raymond and Florosa also introduced themselves more or less, which was kind of letting Carlil's mother know him. Then a group of guys who drank a few sips of wine began to tear each other down, and Raymond stood up and didn't say a word, Angelo began to blow his beard and uncover it, brushing out some stupid things when Raymond was a child. Frosa hurriedly went up and covered Angelo's mouth, holding on to Angelo to prevent him from continuing to speak.
So in retaliation, after a brief formal meeting, it immediately turned into a group of people gathered around to expose each other's revelations, and even Kahlil joined in with all her might, and began to take turns exposing the affairs of the other three, pushing the war to a white-hot stage.
Only the ones who couldn't be plugged in at all, and the red lotus, who really lived in the current era, reluctantly retreated from their battlefield. He smiled awkwardly at Gahia and made a helpless gesture, and moved to the other end of the living room with Gahia.
"Sometimes I wonder if she's Natalia. Weta ...... Or Caryl. Andris. ”
Gahia and Red Lotus sat together, watching a few people on the other side make a mess from a distance, and shook their heads gently.
According to Kaliel's explanation before, she only inherited Natalia's memories, and in Gahia's understanding, Kaliel is still Kalil, but she has an extra memory that doesn't belong to her. However, for Angelo and Raymond and others, Kaliel is still the same Natalia as before, she is just a different look, everything is no different from before. This gap in perception is a slight difference. Angelo and the others rightfully treat Kahlil as Natalia, and Gahia has some doubts about her.
Karil has memories of Natalia, so who is she? How to define whether she is Natalia or Kaliel.
"Uh...... I think it's Karil. Andris, as you can see. Honglian scratched her head, a little unsure of how to answer. Gahia's state made her feel a little tricky, as if the slightest mistake would touch which string of Gahia. I don't know what else will happen.
"Ah, don't worry, I'm fine, but sometimes I sigh that as a mother, I don't know enough about my daughter." Gahia sensed Red Lotus's embarrassment, and smiled at her lightly and said nothing: "I just hope that she can be more polite on more formal occasions." ”
Honglian opened her mouth in embarrassment, and finally didn't answer anything. It's okay to let her kill in and out, but facing other people in high positions really poked her in the underbelly, and she didn't know how to deal with it.
However, Karil's group did make a little too much trouble, as if they hadn't relaxed like this for a long time, and several people were immersed in the world of themselves and the past, and those rational appearances in the past had long been abandoned, and they said this loudly to each other, and made a mess.
The battle did not last long.
Just as Red Lotus repeatedly prayed that her alone time with Gahia would pass quickly, Kahlil and Raymond's voices began to diminish first. These two guys don't have the physical strength to make a lot of noise like the half-elf Frosa and the old immortal Angelo. Soon the two of them stopped to catch their breath and prepare to rest for a while.
In this way, a slap did not make a sound, and Angelo, who gradually lost his will to fight, also sat down with interest, and then each found his IQ and stopped this war of mutual exposure.
"The next time I'm having dinner with you, you must not drink......" Karil muttered as a summary of the day. A group of people said faux pas to each other, and then consciously stayed in front of Gahia and Red Lotus, who had witnessed the whole process, and hurriedly left the living room to disperse, and each went back to his room to rest quickly.
If you can rub it, you can rub it for a few days, and you have to continue to go out after these few days.
Two days was enough time for Karil to prepare for the long journey. All kinds of things that are hard to find in Ao Yala are much easier in Hobbes, from clothes to medicines, from money to manpower, you can simply add whatever you want here. However, no one plans to take anyone else on this trip again, so all kinds of troublesome things have to be done by themselves. Go to the market to find some rare alchemy raw materials...... It's also a lot of fun. Just like a woman shopping for clothes, an alchemist like Raymond is also very happy to buy materials. Even better, although there are no particularly rare things on the Hobbs market, it's a joy to feel like you can buy whatever you want without having to pay for it yourself.
Throughout the day, in addition to buying himself some clothes, gadgets and alchemy materials also filled the pockets of the two of them. The whole person is filled with a genuine sense of satisfaction.
The third day also slipped by quickly, and the news to Morton and Angus had already been sent, and the notice to give a checkpoint on the road had already arrived. Maps and coins are already in place, and everyone's pockets are filled with all sorts of things to ensure that any situation arises. Even from business to small talk, almost everything that can be said has been said during this time. On the fourth day, it was finally time to go.
Although this group of lazy people really wanted to continue to eat and drink in the castle, but on the fourth day, even Angelo couldn't find any reason to be lazy, and there was no way not to solve it, so they packed up their things with others and prepared to set off.
As in the past, Hobbs had to travel by carriage to the nearest Mage's Guild to use the teleportation array there. So the means of transportation for everyone is still Andris's horse-drawn carriage. However, unlike the previous times, Gahia did not see him off at the gate of the castle. When Raymond and Angelo saw Carlil at the castle gate, she was alone.
Probably just said something to my mother or something else, everyone could feel that Karil's mood was not special now, so they put their luggage in silence, and Red Lotus pulled Carlil into the carriage.
Either way, it's time to go, and I just hope this is the last time.
The carriage moved slowly from the gate of Andris Castle on time, and went out of the castle along the drawbridge. Leaving Gahia standing on the high platform of the castle, he slowly waved his hand as he thought about the carriage that had turned his back on him.
Have a safe trip...... (To be continued.) )
