For these wandering knights who are willing to learn, Marin has a very good impression. He believes that as long as officers love to learn, they have the potential to improve. After hearing that some wandering knights liked to visit the layout of the camp and wanted to inquire about some common knowledge of marching and fighting, Marin sent several officers to serve as guides and explanations for them, and was responsible for answering their questions.

Of course, those things that are classified as confidential, such as training methods, those officers will not disclose. Moreover, these wandering knights, who were keen to visit and learn, Marin also had the officers who acted as guides and commentators silently write down their names. When the tryouts start, these people will receive a bonus points. Because, these people are more willing to use their brains, which is a necessary quality for middle and high-ranking officers.

And those wandering knights who go to drink all day long, and also drink and fight and make trouble, Marin also made people secretly remember it and deducted points. Of course, this was done covertly, and, with Adler's consent.

Of course, Adler has no opinion, after all, Marin is a famous god of war commander in Europe. Its suggestion is certainly fine.

In order to collect information about these wandering knights, Marlin issued each wandering knight with an identity tag for easy verification. Also, it was convenient for Kohler's spies to secretly record the words, deeds, and behavior of these wandering knights.

If these wandering knights knew that their words and deeds were recorded in a small book before the tournament, they would definitely complain - the city routine is deep, I want to go back......

……

The function of the identity wooden card, in addition to facilitating the inspection of the guards and Kohler's spy record words and deeds, his other role is to use this card to receive a boxed lunch......

Yes, get a boxed lunch......

In later generations, boxed lunches were synonymous with low-end, and they were generally eaten by migrant workers, hard-working staff, or actors squatting in the corner or sitting on dirty tables and stools. But in this era, the box lunch is absolutely tall......

You know, in those days, ordinary peasants or ordinary soldiers ate baguettes mixed with dirt and stones. That thing can be used as a brick. At most, with some wild vegetable soup. Only during festivals or when there is a big war in the army, ordinary farmers or ordinary soldiers will eat some salted fish or bacon, sausages or something to open meat. In fact, many poor people may not be able to eat bread, so they can only cook some hard-to-swallow porridge mixed with rye and wild vegetables.

Therefore, the boxed lunch with three vegetables and one meat provided by Marin is definitely a high-end product in this era. Generally speaking, I'm afraid that only knights who own territories can afford to eat. Ordinary people, I'm afraid that only big festivals such as Christmas can be so extravagant.

Moreover, even if you have money, you may not be able to eat such a boxed lunch. Because, this is Chinese food, and Europeans in this era will definitely not be able to eat it.

The only difference from the boxed lunch in later generations is probably that the rice in it has been replaced with the brown bread that Germans often eat.

The Kohler bread served by Marin, although adulterated with grass bran, resulted in a somewhat rough taste. However, after all, this is bread fermented with baking powder, which is softer, and I don't know how many times better than the baguette that can be used as a brick.

Even these wandering knights, who came from aristocratic families, did not find any problem eating Kohler black bread mixed with grass bran. You know, in the past, when they were at home, these wandering knights might be able to eat fluffy bread. But after becoming a wandering knight, you may not be able to eat fluffy bread for meals. Sometimes, baguettes mixed with dirt, stones, wood chips and wild vegetables can also be dealt with. So, although it feels a little rough on the taste (nonsense, mixed with the grass bran that pigs eat, can it not be rough), the bread is still very fluffy and relatively easy to digest.

And the three vegetables and one meat in the lunch box are very amazing......

Because, the vegetables in these lunch boxes are all stir-fried vegetables, and they are stir-fried vegetables with oil......

In Europe today, only the aristocracy and the wealthy can enjoy food cooked in olive oil. Moreover, even the aristocracy and wealthy families cooked with olive oil very simply and crudely – their cooking method was usually to cook the dish and then drip a few drops of olive oil, much like the women of later generations who had eaten to lose weight......

What the? You say pour olive oil over a pan and fry it with food? Please, that's what Europeans did in later generations. And the French meal, which is the pinnacle of this cooking method, is still in its infancy, and it is still made up by Marin. Otherwise, the French will have to wait decades to enjoy this so-called "feast......

Moreover, even the prototype of this French feast is currently only in the circle of the French aristocracy. Because, this cooking method is too olive oil consuming, and the average person cannot afford to eat it.

Ordinary people can't afford to enjoy dishes fried in olive oil, and the only way they can get oil and water is from fatty meat. Therefore, in ancient times, fat meat was regarded as good meat, and lean meat was inferior.

Except for eating meat, ordinary people have no chance to consume oil and water, and even knight families are rarely willing to buy olive oil. Unless, it was a wealthy knight like a French knight with a wealthy fief of 1,500 acres. But even wealthy French knights, who could afford olive oil at most, would not use it all at once, which would be too extravagant.

But the box lunch with one meat and three vegetables provided by Beihai Kingdom, each dish is specially fried in oil, so that the wandering knights are also very refreshing to eat, not to mention the deliciousness of Chinese food.

"Oh God, this vegetable is cooked, and ...... Oil...... What kind of oil is this? After eating a boxed lunch, a wandering knight exclaimed and questioned.

Why do you wonder if vegetables are cooked? Because, in this era, the way Europeans ate vegetables was very nonsense - they were all eaten raw......

On the other hand, those apples and other fruits, Europeans boiled and ate them......

Can you imagine what boiled apples taste? It's not bad, vegetables eaten raw...... Damn......

In this year, there is also a shortage of vegetables in Europe, mainly carrots, turnips, cucumbers, beets, onions, garlic, leeks, cabbage (cabbage), spinach, peas, broccoli, parsley, etc. No green peppers, no shredded potatoes, no tomatoes......

There is nothing wrong with eating carrots, turnips, cucumbers, and beets raw. But what the hell is eating onions, garlic, leeks, etc. raw? If it were left on a modern person, it would kill people if they ate it like this......

However, that's how Europeans eat these days......

Therefore, after eating the fried onions, fried garlic and fried leeks in the lunch box, many knights actually didn't know what kind of vegetables they were. Because, the taste of fried onions, garlic and leeks is too different from that of raw food. Moreover, I don't know how many times it is delicious. What's more, it's all fried in oil......

……

Therefore, after the meal, many wandering knights who were happy to eat found the temporary canteen and asked what kind of food they had just eaten......

"It's fried onions, fried garlic and fried leeks...... "The chef in the cafeteria replied with an innocent face.

In fact, Marin demanded that they keep it a secret, claiming that it was pouring oil into a pan and frying vegetables...... There are differences in the effectiveness of the two, but there are also many similarities. However, frying is very oil-intensive......

Hearing that it was fried vegetables, these wandering knights immediately wilted. Why? They still know what fried is. It's a luxurious way to pour oil into a frying pan, and most people can't afford it. Because, the oil consumption of frying is really much more than that of stir-frying. Of course, in order to save costs, the vendors of fried food in later generations used those oils repeatedly, and even used gutter oil. Otherwise, according to strict health standards, the fuel consumption will be a little bigger. Even if cooking oil is cheap in later generations, the cost is too high.

And in this era, those who can often eat fried food in olive oil are all big aristocrats or big rich.

Therefore, for Marin to entertain them with fried vegetables, these wandering knights suddenly felt full of compulsion, feeling that they were being treated like big shots.

In fact, stir-frying is very fuel-efficient, and a large pot of vegetables is only a few spoons of soybean oil. And Marin's North American colony now produces a lot of soybeans, and the cost of soybean oil is not high. Unlike European-style pan-frying dishes, you have to pour a lot of oil on the pan before you can soak the dish in oil. Like the French feast of later generations, why is the portion small? The portion is so large that the layer of olive oil in the pan can't soak all the dishes into oil! Flipping the big pot of stir-fry can allow a small amount of oil to quickly cover the whole dish.

Therefore, when some people in later generations debated the question of which was better or worse than Chinese stir-fried food and French dinner, the stir-fry chef could proudly say that I am particularly fuel-efficient, and the quantity is large, and delicious......

……

So, more than a thousand wandering knights misunderstood Marlin, thinking that in order to entertain them, Marlin poured barrels of olive oil (they weren't sure if it was olive oil, after all, these wandering knights were also very dirty) on a pan and fried vegetables...... This is definitely the treatment of princes......

Moreover, the lunch box with a lot of oil and water is easy to be filled. Normally, when there is no oil and water, these wandering knights can eat three large pieces of bread. And with three vegetables and one meat with enough oil and water, they were actually full with a large piece of black bread......

And what surprised these wandering knights the most was that the unpalatable vegetables of onions, garlic and leeks turned out to be very tasty after they had been fried in oil......

But alas, even if they knew that fried onions, garlic and leeks were delicious, they couldn't afford to eat them. Because, olive oil is too expensive...... Even if they succeed in becoming knights, they are not able to eat fried food every day, at most they will eat it during the holidays......

However, they did not know that as Marin's territory penetrated deep into the North American continent, the production of soybeans in North America would increase greatly in the future. When the time comes, soybean oil will be in large quantities. I don't dare to say anything else, it's still no problem to supply the Beihai country. As long as you can become a nobleman in the North Sea Kingdom, the supply of soybean oil is not a problem......

……

Years later, those wandering knights who had participated in the North Sea Knights' Tournament but were not selected said that the days when he received free boxed lunches every day outside Emden were the most luxurious times of his life...... Because, the vegetables are specially soaked in oil......
