Chapter 455: Henry

The aristocracy seems to have had this habit, but this began to change in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. At the end of the thirteenth century, a kind of nutritionist similar to the present day began to emerge and arrange meals for the service of the aristocracy, calling for less meat and pasta (it was normal to have no vegetables at a medieval feast), to drink spring water instead of well water, and finally: to eat breakfast. Some aristocrats and landowners began to make breakfast with bread dipped in red wine, as the ancient Greeks did, not so much as a health orientation as a fashion among the upper classes, and eating breakfast became a form of politeness.

In the fifteenth century, breakfast began to transform again. In addition to keeping the bread dipped in red wine, many English aristocrats ate cheese and ham for breakfast, as well as ale wine or three-in-one honey (note: ale wine is made from barley, and three-in-one honey is three parts water mixed with one honey and a little ginger juice fermented for eight months). In this way, breakfast gradually became acceptable. And the farmer's breakfast is a story of the 16th century. In the Middle Ages, Russian aristocrats preferred to use honey vodka instead of mead, while in the Balkans people preferred to add a little fig or fresh vegetables.

But the Scottish aristocracy had their own breakfast: oats. This coarse but very nutritious food became a symbol of Scotland and a joke for the British, as it was fed to horses in England. The Scots made oats into a variety of foods, but the most popular was cereal, which is now eaten with milk and honey and fresh fruit, but if you bring this oatmeal to Scotland in the 15th century, you will be ridiculed as a coward. At that time, most oatmeal porridge was oatmeal with water and salt and a glass of milk, so that it could be eaten while walking while marching, and some people even put whiskey in the oats without putting anything in them, keeping them for a day to be refreshed; There are also oatmeal bread, oatmeal crepes, and creamy oatmeal porridge, which is oatmeal with whipped cream and a little fresh berries. This Scottish breakfast has continued into the 17th century and even today, except that oatmeal is now pretentious, although traces of the Middle Ages can still be found in the countryside.

However, even the slaves arranged breakfast, and it was timed and quantitative, which made the slaves and servants thank their master Wan Qiyang for giving them food every time before breakfast, of course, these words of gratitude were spontaneously formed by slaves, servants and workers. Wan Qiyang is also for everyone's health, and with a healthy body and mind, they will be more motivated. Therefore, Wan Qianyang's approach is completely a virtuous circle, so when the Oliver family came to see this phenomenon, they were completely stunned, because they had never seen such hard-working slaves and workers full of enthusiasm for work.

After breakfast, Wan Qiyang was also okay for the time being, accompanied by Jack and Zhuang Yang, and went around to check the progress of some buildings he designed, especially the problems of toilets and drinking water sources, which must be done carefully according to his design. At this time, someone reported that someone was looking for Jack, and Jack was a little strange at first, how could someone be looking for him, and suddenly remembered that he and Wan Qiyang went to the town yesterday after the café happened, and said to the young down-and-out aristocratic young man that he would find Jack if he had something.

Wan Qiyang naturally remembered this incident, and then asked his subordinates to invite the young man in, and Wan Qiyang met the young man in a rest pavilion in the middle of the grass outside. And some of the slaves also knew the former master, and also said hello. This also shows that this person has a good character and does not have too many class thoughts.

When Wan Qiyang looked at this person, he was also a little surprised, this image was obviously very different from what he saw in the café yesterday. The beard was also carefully trimmed and the clothes were clean.

Came to Wan Qiyang, politely took off his hat and bowed, "Howard Henry greetings to Mr. ”

"Hello, please take a seat! Jack brings him a cup of coffee! Wan Qiyang motioned for Henry to sit down and talk.

"Thank you!"

After all, he used to be a nobleman, even if he was a down-and-out nobleman, he retained a certain identity in terms of bearing, and he would not be rude.

"Henry, I can call you that!" Wan Qiyang said.

"Absolutely, sir, please!"

"I've also heard that you can do business and have a certain ability in trade, I don't know if I can trust you, and one more thing is how confident you are if I send you to negotiate!" Wan Qianyang said very vaguely, and did not involve specific questions, it depends on how he answers.

"Thank you sir for giving me this opportunity, in fact, I am very confident in myself in business matters, if my husband asks me to negotiate business, I can win the contract at the lowest price, but Mr. must give me the greatest authority to be the master. If my husband can trust me, I can guarantee that I can be worthy of his trust. This is a guarantee of the credibility of the aristocracy! Henry was also very sure!

"Actually, it's very simple, there is a way I can trust you 100%, I don't know if you are willing to accept my trust test?" Wan Qiyang also wants to make a foolproof strategy, and it is rare to waste time on a person who is prone to mistakes.

"There is no problem, I am willing to accept the test of sir." Henry was sure.

Wan Qiyang glanced at Jack, and this glance made Jack covered in a cold sweat and frightened, because that glance just now reminded him of that painful experience, and he thought that this young man might also be warned by his master in this way!

"Good! Then I'm going to get started! After Wan Qiyang finished speaking, he waved his hand, and everyone didn't see Wan Qiyang make other movements, but Henry didn't even have time to say a good word and stood there stiffly, but his heart was shocked, and he didn't know why he couldn't speak and couldn't move! Is this what the other side is talking about? At the moment, the only thing that can move is the eyeballs!

Wan Qiyang continued to taste the tea, and Henry also began to sweat, after drinking a cup of tea, Wan Qianyang asked, "I'm going to start testing you now, can you bear it?" Make sure your eyes look to the left, and give up and look to the right! ”

Henry was even more scared at this time, so he hadn't tested himself yet, so what was the real test? But he also felt that since he was here, and it was a very normal way to test himself, if he couldn't even pass this test, what could he make others believe in himself?

So he hurriedly rolled his eyes to the left, indicating that he was willing to accept the test.

Wan Qiyang said, "That's good! If you can hold on for ten seconds without making a second call, I'll give you this chance! ”

Henry thought about what it meant, not to call out a second time, to hold on for ten seconds, so easy?

Similarly, Wan Qiyang stepped forward and glanced at Henry again, and after seeing the other party's firm eyes, he first restored his freedom, just when Henry thought it was easy, Wan Qiyang clicked twice on him, and at this moment Jack didn't dare to look at Henry at all, only to hear Henry suddenly let out a long scream, and even someone could hear such a miserable cry from a long distance.

Henry himself suddenly felt that his whole body was like an ant gnawing at his bones, a kind of heart-piercing pain and numb itching, which made people feel extremely distressed at once, and only after screaming out of conditioned reflex when he suddenly felt distressed, he suddenly remembered what this gentleman said about insisting on ten seconds without screaming a second time, and immediately bit the clothes on his body in his mouth, and he couldn't stand up either. The unbearable pain was only rolling on the ground, anyway, Wan Qiyang also unlocked Henry's acupoint after counting for ten seconds, and at this time he was already completely wet with sweat.

Jack finally felt that he seemed to have regained consciousness, he was really afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years!

"Jack! Jack! Wan Qiyang called him twice before he reacted.

"Sir!" Jack apologized for his wandering.

"Bring Mr. Henry to clean up, and come back again." Wan Qiyang saw Henry, who was covered in mud, and even his teeth were bitten out of blood. It can be seen that this person still has such perseverance, which is not bad!

"Yes!"

"Mr. Henry is coming with me!" Jack found that the other party couldn't walk, so he could only step forward to help Henry and walk to the room to clean up.
