Pubri and Marcus excitedly stroked the silk and porcelain in their hands, feeling the delicate lubrication of the silk and porcelain surface, which was even more addictive than a girl's skin. Seeing the disgusting looks of the two old friends, Gruth next to him couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, these silks and porcelain are yours, you can go home and touch them slowly at night, and I also brought some good wine and food from the Great Song Dynasty, do you want to taste it?" ”

Hearing Gruth's joke, Pubri and the others finally laughed a little embarrassed, and put down the silk and porcelain in their hands at the moment, but at this time, Marcus suddenly said a little puzzled: "I heard it right, good wine can definitely be brought over, but how do you bring good dishes, it can't be that you asked the oriental chef to make it just ready, right?" ”

Gruth smiled mysteriously at his old friend's question, and then took out eight glass bottles from the large baggage on the counter again, as well as a wine jar, looking at these things, both Popbri and Marcus showed puzzled expressions. But then Gruth opened a few cans, and then said to Pubry, "Go and get some plates to serve the food!" ”

Although Pubri was a little puzzled, he still turned around and took out a few plates, of course, there were no porcelain plates at home, but ordinary wooden plates, and Grus poured the contents of the canned food into the plates, one flower was four meats, four vegetables and eight dishes, and there was also a jar of good wine, when he patted off the mud seal on the wine jar, and removed the seal paper at the mouth of the altar, the drunkard Marcus next to him immediately lit up, he had drunk wine for so many years, but he had never smelled such a strong wine.

"It's so fragrant, what's the name of this dish, is it really brought from Da Song?" Purburi was less interested in wine than in canning, and when Gruth poured it into the plate, he picked up a piece of braised pork with his fingers and put it in his mouth. As soon as I tasted it, I immediately praised it.

"Of course, the Great Song people put the food into glass bottles after processing, called canned, which can be stored for a year or two without spoiling, and we sailed at sea for nearly a year, and a large part of the food is supported by canned food!" Gruth said with great emotion at this time. I think that when he and Agnes and the others escaped from Europe, they often starved on the ship, or ate some spoiled food, but this time they came to Europe with sufficient supplies, and it was as easy as a tour.

"It's amazing, the food that has been preserved for so long has not spoiled a little, but it still tastes so good, I really want to go to that Da Song to have a look!" As he spoke, Puburi tasted a few of the other dishes, and he liked each one very much. After all, a commoner like him usually doesn't eat anything good, so he naturally feels very novel and delicious about this kind of food from the Great Song Dynasty.

In contrast, Marcus was more interested in fine wine, especially after seeing that Pubery had already started eating, he also very unceremoniously picked up the wine jar, poured a bowl of wine for himself and Gruss, and then immediately took the bowl and put it in his mouth. But as soon as he took the first sip, Marcus froze there. His face was flushed, his mouth seemed to be holding a corduroy soldering iron, he couldn't swallow it, he couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't bear to spit it out, so he stiffened for a long time before he suddenly stretched out his neck and swallowed the wine.

"What a strong wine!" It was only then that Marcus finally spat out a few words. Then he reached out and grabbed a few pieces of meat and stuffed them into his mouth, but his stomach was still hot, although Marcus was an alcoholic, there was no distilled liquor in Rome, so the alcohol was very low. What Gruth brought this time was the distilled liquor of the Great Song Dynasty, and he drank it so violently all of a sudden, so he naturally suffered a lot.

"Haha, I've suffered a lot, this wine can't be drunk in a big gulp, but in small sips, so that you can taste the taste of the wine!" Gruss laughed when he saw Marcus's embarrassed appearance, but when he drank this wine for the first time, his appearance was not much better than Marcus, and as for wine tasting, he had copied it from others.

"Whew~" Marcus ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little better in his stomach, but his face was still hot, and he said to Gluth at the moment, "It's really good wine, I've drunk wine for so many years, and it's the first time I've drunk such a mellow wine, but it's a little too strong, do people over there in the Great Song Dynasty like to drink spirits?" ”

"Hehe, it's not, there is also a lighter wine in the Great Song Dynasty, this kind of liquor has not been around for a long time, but it is very popular in the army, especially in our navy, which stays at sea all year round, and it is said that drinking some wine is good for the body, so we are loaded with this kind of spirit." Gruth explained with a smile.

"Is this wine really that strong?" Pubrie asked with some disbelief at this time, and then reached out to pick up the wine bowl and tasted it carefully, but he was also squeezed by the spicy eyebrows, and hurriedly ate the food before relieving himself, which also caused Gruss and Marcus to laugh.

The three of them chatted while drinking, of course, the main thing was Gruss who told about his experience over the years, especially his life in the Great Song Dynasty, for Pubri and Marcus, everything in the Great Song Dynasty was so novel, different lifestyles, different customs, all kinds of unheard of and unseen new things, all of which made the two of them feel like they were listening to a mythical story.

And Grus also said in the narration that he had already married a wife and had children on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, and originally he wanted to marry a woman from the Great Song Dynasty as his wife, but unfortunately the Great Song Dynasty still had some rejection of these yellow-haired and blue-eyed Hu people, even if he was the guard of the Yue Palace, and his status was very high, but he still couldn't find a woman willing to marry him, and finally he could only marry the daughter of a Persian Hu Shang, and now he has a son, but this time he did not come to Europe with him.

Hearing that Gluth had a family and had children, Marcus and Pubri also congratulated him together, and then Gluth also inquired about the situation of the two friends, when he heard that Purbri didn't dare to open the door to do business before, and as soon as he opened the door, he met a team of Song soldiers who came to buy bread, and couldn't help laughing: "Pubri, the army of the Great Song Dynasty has very strict military discipline, and they will never dare to disturb the people without orders from above, so business should be done as usual, and if someone comes to buy you, you will collect money, and tell you that those soldiers are very rich, If you can do business in the army, then it is impossible not to get rich! ”

"Great, with your words Gruth, I will rest assured, tomorrow I will make more bread, I hope more Song people will come to me to buy bread!" Pubri was also very happy to hear this.

"Gruth, can you show me your knife?" At this moment, Marcus, who was eating a bowl of wine, suddenly asked Gruss with his eyes shining, he had long been very greedy for the weapons and equipment of the Song army, and he didn't know those Song soldiers before, so he didn't dare to speak, but now Grus also has weapons on him, so he naturally has nothing to be embarrassed about.

Gruth also knew that Marcus's ancestors had been blacksmiths in Rome for generations, and his skills in making weapons were very exquisite, so he was very understanding when he heard his request, and immediately took off his own matching knife from his waist and sent it to Marcus and said: "Here, this is a standard matching knife in the army, and every Song army has one in his hand, but the quality is quite good." ”

Marcus took the knife with bright eyes, and then pulled it out, only to see that the blade was as clear as water, and the lines of the knife were extremely smooth, and then Marcus carefully observed the blade, and even wiped it with his fingers, and the skin on his fingers was immediately cut open, which made him praise and said: "Good knife!" What a knife! Not only is this knife sleek in shape, but it is also made of the finest steel, and the quality is much stronger than that of the Roman weapons! ”

"Of course, before going to the Great Song Dynasty, I can't imagine the wealth and strength of the Great Song Dynasty, as far as I know, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty is ten times that of the Holy Roman Empire, and the population is dozens of times more than ours, and the entire Great Song Dynasty has millions of troops, you think about how much it costs to equip each soldier with such weapons, not to mention that there are more valuable firearms, warships, etc. in the Great Song Army, it can be said that the Great Song Dynasty sent an army at will, and it was possible to sweep the whole of Europe, so this time Her Royal Highness Princess Agnes returned, It's only a matter of time before the throne is regained! Gruss was also full of faith at this time.

If Agnes can ascend to the throne, Gruss, as the most loyal guard by the princess's side, will definitely be reused in the future, but this also makes him very entangled, because he doesn't know whether to move his family back to Europe or continue to stay in the Great Song Dynasty? After all, in comparison, the conditions in Europe are too poor in all aspects, not to mention anything else, just in terms of some daily necessities, after getting used to the convenience of the Great Song Dynasty in all aspects, it is simply a torture for him to stay in Europe.

"Hiss~" It turns out that the Great Song Dynasty is so powerful, originally I thought they were at most similar to the Seljuk Turks, but now that I hear you say this, it turns out that the Great Song Dynasty is even stronger than the Seljuks. Marcus couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.

"The Seljuks are just a bunch of barbaric nomads, where can they compare to the Great Song? Although the Great Song Dynasty has experienced a lot of dynastic changes, but if you count it, their history is longer than our Rome, as early as a thousand years ago, there are records of our Rome in their history books, but the distance between the two countries is too far, so there has been no exchange, but now it is different, the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty can already reach us, and the exchanges between the two countries will be more frequent in the future, the silk and porcelain given to you today may be seen everywhere in the Roman market in the future, so you must not hideIf someone is willing to buy it, sell it, so that you can make a small profit. Gruth laughed at this time, the life of the Great Song Dynasty in the past few years has also opened his eyes, and he is also full of confidence in Agnes's regaining the throne this time.
