Chapter 0087 - Sky-high price
The noodles were served by a woman with thick hands and feet tied in a snow-white apron.
A somewhat dignified woman, but she could still be seen to be a commoner woman who had been working in the fields for a long time.
The 'Bichel Tavern' is the largest tavern in Lannisport and hosts the great merchants, the rich, the nobles and the wealthy knights.
Count Odd was familiar with the chefs in the 'Bichier Tavern', as he often came here to eat and had a designated chef cook for him.
But this noodle cook, Count Ode, had never seen it.
The noodles were steaming hot and fragrant, and Count Ode had never smelled such an aroma.
"Who are you?" asked Count Odeh.
"My lord, she is the master sent by Klegon Village to cook noodles, her name is Alec, her husband's name is Blackstone, and she is the flag officer of Lord Gregor's cavalry. The boss hurriedly nodded and laughed beside him.
"Oh!" said Odd, a little surprised, "Alec?"
"Yes, sir. β
"Sir Gregor sent someone to 'Bichelle' to cook noodles?"
"It's only two days, my lord. Alec was generous, and did not have the crampedness and humility of the other countrymen in the face of the Earl.
Count Odd felt that the woman had some guts, but after thinking about it, the townswoman who dared to do things under the magic mountain could not do it without guts. Looking at this woman's mediocre appearance, but she has a good figure, big buttocks, big hands and feet, I don't know how many times Moshan has done her after she was drunk. The Magic Mountain is a beast that doesn't pick on women after drinking.
"Two days?" Count Ode looked at Alec, "Why?"
"My lord, the Klegan noodles are completely different from the noodles we used to eat, the chefs don't know how to cook this noodles, so we need the Klegane people to teach them how to cook the noodles, two days, the first day we cook for the master, the second day we watch the master cook. β
"Oh!" Count Ode picked up his chopsticks and saw the sign of Clegane on them, "the chopsticks are yours too?"
"Yes, Lord Tywin has issued a decree in the whole West that chopsticks replace knives and knives, but everyone has half a year of free choice and adaptation time, and adults are used to knives and forks, so in order to make it more convenient for adults to eat noodles in the tavern, we also brought a few pairs of Clegane's chopsticks by the way. It's more convenient to eat somen with chopsticks, adults. β
Count Odd narrowed his eyes, Gregor had become so thoughtful and organized, he really didn't dare to underestimate him anymore, he remembered the great 'One Thousand and One Eyes' Blood Raven Duke who had changed dramatically: "Lord Gregor arranged it like this?"
"It was our Miss Jenny who proposed it at the council, and Lord Gregor thought it was a good idea, so she sent us. β
Jane Westerling, a well-known talented woman in the West, a great lady carefully cultivated by the Westerling family, is both talented and beautiful, and has become even more famous after becoming the adopted daughter of Duke Tywin, and it is not surprising that Earl Ode can have this knowledge.
It's a pity that Moshan married a talented girl, Jenny. Jenny's only flaw was that her mother was the daughter of a spice merchant, otherwise, with her talents, Jane would have married into one of the famous four families in the Westβperhaps into the Lannister family of Castle Rock - the family of Kaivon Lannister.
Count Odd sighed slightly for Jenny.
"Alec, how many of you are here?"
"Ten people, my lord. Our first batch of noodles was only sold to a selected group of ten taverns. β
Oh!
It's really calculated. It must have been suggested by this woman again!
"You women in Clegan cook this kind of noodles?"
"Yes, sir. β
"How do you cook it?"
"First put the oil in the pot, heat it, add the sea salt, and pop the spices and condiments. Then pour boiling water into the pot, wait for the water to boil again, throw in the noodles, boil again over medium heat, boil a few times, put in the greens to clear the aroma, and immediately put the pot into the bowl, adult. β
Count Ode's eyebrows rose at the hearing.
Boiling water to boil noodles, he can be regarded as learning something new. They used to have cold water and wouldn't wait for the water to boil. The Cregan man followed the procedure, and his domestic servants had never done it here.
The aroma of green vegetables is improved, and he thought that it was completely dependent on spices
But there were no greens in the bowl, but the finely chopped meat and bright yellow oil made him want to take a few bites. The fragrance and the aroma of meat burst out together, just smelling this breath makes people have a great appetite,
But he is a great nobleman, an earl, well-educated, and there will be no impatience.
"Where's the greens?"
"Remove it, put it in a separate bowl, and when the noodles are finished, adults can eat the vegetables again. β
Count Odd raised his eyebrows again, and Alec's statement was an eye-opener for him.
I can't think of eating a single noodle, and I've been eating noodles for decades, and it's the first time I know that there can be so much exquisiteness.
Let's try it first.
It's a long story, but a few sentences of dialogue are only a short time.
Count Ode closed his eyes and sniffed the aroma first, and his tongue was full of relish, and he had become proficient with chopsticks, scooped up the noodles......
"Adults can blow the hot air first. Alec said.
There is a lot of oil in the noodles, and the oil keeps warm.
The Count still blew on the heat of the noodles, and then ate the noodles with chopsticks.
A new texture, completely different from the noodles eaten in the past, delicate and refreshing, smooth and delicious, with a wonderful taste.
Under the watchful eye of several centurions, the proprietor, and the tavern cook's servants, Count Ode's large bowl of noodles was quickly eaten, and then he drank the noodle soup: "Try the refreshing greens." The Count elegantly put down the strip and held the demeanor of the nobleman.
So, a small half bowl of green vegetables was served, and it was still exuding heat. This is always warm in another clear soup, there is no greasy and meaty taste, pure clear soup and green vegetable taste.
The eyes of Count Odd glowed, and there were small beads of sweat on the tip of his nose: "Another bowl of greens." β
After eating a lot of meaty noodles and half a bowl of green vegetables, it was simply the most beautiful taste he had ever tasted.
"I can't give it to you anymore, my lord. Alec said, "If you want it again, you will spoil the taste." Pure vegetables and soup will have the best taste and fragrance. If it weren't for the meat and greasy foreshadowing in the noodles just now, the greens and greens soup wouldn't be so refreshing. β
The Earl put down his chopsticks, and immediately the boss handed him mouthwash and a clean, snow-white cloth.
The Count would have loved to have another bowl, but he had kept his aristocratic manners, and he would not lose his temper in these places. Moreover, his stomach was still full when he came to the tavern, and now he was really overwhelmed.
"Boss, how much does this noodle cost for a bowl?"
"Two big bronze stars, my lord. β
Two big bronze stars, not two big copper points, two big copper stars are very expensive, equivalent to ninety-six yuan. (Bronze stars have two styles and values, and copper points have five different styles and values, and the exchange is complicated, so I don't expand it.) οΌ
However, 'Bichel' is the most exclusive tavern in the city, and only caters to the great nobles, merchants, and wealthy knights.
Count Ode dropped a silver deer, and then said, "Sir, I bought your tavern, and you help me run it here, and the 'Bichel Tavern' was converted into a 'Clegane Noodle Village'." He also ignored the boss's stunned, the educated nobleman was a hundred times more ruthless than the beast, "Captain Bad Centurion, you go and tell the boss who sells noodles to send all the noodles that have not been sold here, and none of them are allowed to sell them again." β
"Yes, my lord!" said Bad Centurion, leaving.
Count Odd said to Alec, who was also dumbfounded, "Alec, don't cook noodles here, come back to Clegon with me, I want to talk to Lord Gregor about something important." β
Alec snorted and didn't move.
Earl Ode smiled and said, "Alec, if I give you a golden dragon a month, would you be willing to go to King's Landing to be the chef of Clegane noodles?"
A golden dragon a month?!
For Alec, it's a coveted price. She was thrilled.
Alec said, "My lord, I need to go back and ask Lord Gregor. β
"Okay. The Count was reasonable, "Alec, if you sell noodles like this in King's Landing, a silver deer and a bowl will be in short supply. The great nobles who came and went, the governors, princes, consuls, the great merchants, and the captains of ships from all over the world, the golden dragons in their pockets were no different from the bronze stars. All you have to do is promise to go, Lord Gregor, and I'll intercede for you. β
A bowl of noodles sells for a silver deer, which is equivalent to 333 yuan.
Thirty silver deer can be exchanged for a golden dragon. Sell thirty bowls of noodles in exchange for a golden dragon. Is this a gold mine?
Is it so easy to make money from the rich in King's Landing? Alec didn't know, she was surprised!
However, if she knew how the great tycoons, the great nobles, the great consuls, the great governors, and the princes of the islands from all over the world spent their money in the brothels and taverns, she would not have doubted the price in the slightest. Those princes spent a dozen golden dragons in one night, as if they spent a few small copper cents.
Compared with the high consumption of those who are really rich, the price of a silver deer and a bowl of noodles is indeed insignificant.
Poverty completely limits Alec's imagination.
