In the port of Emden, the young King Juan III of Castile, dressed in a mink coat, disembarked with a trembling rope. This year, the northern part of Germany suddenly became cold, so that King Juan did not expect it. Although I had prepared a mink coat before, I still felt a little unbearable.

"Welcome, Your Majesty Juan, it is a great honor for you to be here! And you, Queen Margaret, the flower of our Holy Roman Empire! Marin greeted him with a smile on his face and saluted by the way.

Juan III did not put on a show, but gave Marin a warm hug:

"Marin, don't be so restrained, we're old friends!" King Juan does not have the cunning of his parents, and in the circle of great nobles, he is relatively simple. The main thing is that he has been protected too well by his parents since he was a child, and he has never seen any dark side. At present, however, Ferdinand II is stepping up the cultivation of his political tools. Maybe in a few years, King Juan will not be so innocent.

Moreover, Juan's wife, Margaret, was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Many times, when Juan was hesitant, he sought advice from Queen Margaret. And Margaret, in the original history, was also a female politician, and even a cultivator of the European overlord Charles V.

Of course, both husband and wife have a very good feeling for Marin. First of all, Juan's life was saved by Marin, otherwise he would have hung up a long time ago. And Margaret came from Marin's old superiors, the Habsburgs, and had always had a good relationship with Marin. Therefore, the husband and wife have a very good attitude towards Marin.

King Juan and his wife, who were wearing mink coats, were stunned when they saw Marin wearing a down jacket that looked very bloated:

"Grand Duke Marin, although it's a little cold this day, you don't have to wear that thick, do you?"

Down jackets are fluffier and look thick. If you don't know it, you think the clothes are thick and heavy. Marin smiled, pointed to his clothes, and said:

"Don't look big with this kind of clothes, it's actually very light!"

Juan III didn't believe it, so he pinched it with his own hands and found that it was really fluffy and light, so he became interested.

When he arrived at the palace of Aurich, Marin took out a spare down jacket and gave it to Juan III. Juan III happily put on a down jacket that looked bloated. However, living in Spain, he doesn't really need such a big down jacket. Because, the latitude of Spain is very low in Europe, and it belongs to the southwesternmost part of Europe. As a result, Spain has a very warm climate and is unlikely to experience such cold weather. Therefore, a mink coat or something, absolutely enough.

Since it is a cold winter, it is naturally the best to eat hot pot. Because of the chili peppers, this time Marin brought a mandarin duck pot to the hot pot, half of which is spicy and half is not spicy. Then, the ingredients for shabu-shabu are mainly thinly sliced beef rolls and lamb rolls.

Moreover, the lamb rolls are all from lamb. The so-called lamb meat refers to the meat of underage sheep. Underage lambs are very tender in their own right, but that's not the point, the point is that the meat of underage lambs doesn't smell bad, or it doesn't smell very much.

This is because, whether it is a sheep or a pig, a lot of strange smells actually come from the X hormone in the body after X develops. The lamb X organ is mature, and the body has no taste, and the meat is still very tender. Therefore, the nobles who are particular about eating and drinking generally eat lamb and mutton, and will not eat the mutton of adult sheep. Because, the smell is too big......

There is also a type of sheep that has a lighter meat smell, and that is the lamb. The lamb is a castrated ram, and because the eggs are cut, the smell is also much lower. This is the same as raising pigs, in the past, pigs were not castrated, and the meat tasted weird, not as good as mutton, and only the inferior people ate it. And since humans have learned to castrate pigs (both male and female, as long as they are pigs), pork has no strange taste. If you have ever eaten old female pork, you will notice a strange smell, which is different from normal pork......

Of course, the lamb is delicious, but you must not look at the process of the butcher killing the lamb, it is very unbearable......

The lamb is so cute, it was caught and slaughtered by the butcher...... That scene......

How to say, the pig is ugly, and the howl of the killed is also ugly, Marin has seen it, but he does not sympathize with the pig. But the lamb is very cute, and when it is slaughtered, it looks very pitiful, and the first time he saw a lamb slaughtered for the first time in his previous life, Marin almost rushed to stop the butcher from killing the sheep......

Simple reasoning, if Sister Feng is publicly beheaded, it is estimated that no one will sympathize, who will call her...... And if it is replaced by Bingbing, it is estimated that there will be many people who feel pity......

Because of their good looks, many celebrities will have a lot of fans to forgive even if they take drugs or mess around. If it's an ugly comparison...... Everyone has already called the police......

……

Later, Marin never went to see the sheep slaughter again. Anyway, just buy lamb fillet rolls directly from the supermarket, don't care about the process.

Confucius said that "the gentleman cooks far away", probably because Confucius saw the scene of killing sheep and felt very unbearable. But it's not okay not to eat meat, so let's not go to the kitchen to watch the sheep killed, just pretend to eat meat like ostriches......

……

This young couple, there seems to be a difference in taste. Juan III was not used to spicy food, but Queen Margaret liked it and asked Marlin for a bottle of chili sauce to take home.

After eating and drinking, Marin naturally took Juan III and Queen Margaret to see porcelain and drink silk. Juan III had a soft spot for blue and white porcelain, and after Marin sent him a few pieces of blue and white porcelain, he refused to let go. Queen Margaret, on the other hand, had a soft spot for silk. However, raw silk can't attract her, what attracts Queen Margaret is a Nanjing Yunjin and a Suzhou embroidery, both of which are good-looking silk fabrics.

After giving the gifts, Marin asked them to show them more of these things to the nobles when they returned home, so that they could help them advertise. In this regard, the couple naturally has no opinion. Anyway, porcelain and silk fabrics are not used to display sharp weapons?

Moreover, Queen Margaret was very interested in Angela's 19th-century style princess dress, which was designed by Marin herself, and a modified version of the cheongsam princess dress of the Republic of China. When Ma Lin saw it, he simply sent her two improved cheongsam princess dresses, which could be regarded as helping himself advertise. The cheongsam princess dress made of cloud brocade and Su embroidery will definitely set off a trend in Spanish high society, and when the time comes, the auction will be more hot......

……

After picking out the gifts, Marin suddenly pulled Juan III to the side, as if he had something to say......

Juan III was a little puzzled and asked:

"What's the matter, Grand Duke Marin?"

Marin said in a mysterious tone similar to that of an Amway salesman:

"Your Majesty, have you heard of the Spice Islands?"
