Section 176 Baking (2nd Shift)
From outside the castle came the father and daughter pushing the flatbed, on the flatbed covered with a cloth inside the sound of jingling crisp pottery collision, hearing the pleasant sound of the castle people will smile heartily, they know that the flatbed is pushing honey from the Angry Lion Castle, at this time in the Middle Ages there was no sucrose this dessert flavoring, so honey is the main sweet condiment of people in the Middle Ages, according to the research of later scientists, the original sweetness is not a taste that cannot be obtained by humans, But animals, including humans, are unable to resist the temptation.
"Sister Leila, you're here." Harlan led the small attendants in the chamber out of the main tower, cheering and running to the flatbed, Leila and his father Jodo smiling at them.
"Hello, Xia Zuo." Leila wore a long dress with a blue sash on her head, which her father Chodo had bought for her to tie up her hair and match her complexion.
"Sister Leila, do you have anything to eat, you finally brought us all kinds of delicious food." Xia Zuo couldn't wait to look through the cloth covered by the flatbed truck to see what was delicious inside, but his hand was hit by Leila, for fear that he would break the honey jar inside.
"Don't worry, here." Leila took out a basket from the flatbed, which exuded a sweet smell, and the greedy little attendants all stood in a row, like cats waiting for food to be distributed, only to see Leila smile and open a piece of linen covered with the basket, inside was a bagel made of flour and honey, and the golden bagel exuded an alluring fragrance.
Lyla contentedly distributed the delicate baked bagels to the drooling little attendants. As Arold said, they were all half-grown children, looking at the little squires who were gobbling up one by one, and even the corners of Qiao Do's mouth, who usually didn't smile, showed a smile.
"Who's that? Is your new companion, and why doesn't he come with you? Lyra saw Sean standing at the door, and felt very curious, he just stood in the distance and looked at Xia Zuo and the others, like an outsider.
"Oh, well, that's Sean's new squire returning from Masonburg with Lord Earl, and maybe he's not familiar with it yet." Harlan's mouth was filled with honey bagels. Said vaguely to Lyra.
"Really?" Leila thought for a moment and took out a special baked dessert from the basket. There was also a bright red strawberry on it, and she walked up to Sean with this piece of dessert and handed the dessert in her hand to the surprised Sean.
"Huh?"
"You're new here, aren't you? Here you go. Layla smiled and shoved dessert into Sean's hand, her smile more beautiful than an angel. Sweeter than honey.
"Thank you." Sean wanted to refuse. But the enticing aroma of the dessert in your hand. And the bright red strawberry, so that Sean could not refuse this earthly delicacy, he put it in his mouth and took a bite. The crispy crust of bread with a slight burnt aroma, the sweetness of honey permeated every inch of it, and the freshness and sourness of the strawberries were just right, Sean ate the delicacy he had never had the privilege of tasting in three or two bites, and after eating it, he licked his five fingers indecently like Natsuzo, and he finally understood the reason why Leila was so popular with the people in the castle.
"How? Is it tasty. Leila happily looked at Sean after eating dessert, she squatted in front of Sean with her hands on her chin, and her big blue eyes looked at the unfinished look of everyone who tasted the dessert she made herself, which was the most satisfying time for Leila.
On the other side, Jodo sent the honey jar to the castle warehouse, and when Arold returned to the castle, he ordered the surplus grain to be stored in the granary, and the castle had enough food to deal with the possible siege of the enemy, and the starvation tactic Arold used him even for the besieged people to starve to death.
"Miss Leila, the bread you made is so delicious and very fluffy, how did you make it?" Sean asked Lyra curiously.
"That's because of the grass ash water in the bread, but I didn't invent it, but the Earl's creation, and this fluffy bread has long been common in Mecklenburgshire." Leila stood up and patted the dust off her skirt and said to Sean.
"But the bread tastes bitter, and it's unpalatable." Xia Zuo shook his fat head in dissatisfaction and said to Lyra.
"As long as you add honey, you can lick the gravy without honey, and the soup tastes good." Harlan patted the back of Xia Zuo's head and said.
"What? Is the Earl still proficient in making zuò bread? Sean asked, surprised.
"The Earl knows a lot." Leila said to Sean with a smile, and after saying that, she glanced at the tower, and looked a little lonely, the young man in the Black Swamp Village was already in charge of the fate of thousands of people, and she could no longer laugh with him.
"Sister Leila, when will your bakery open, we are going to congratulate you." Harlan knew that Leila had always had a plan to open her own bakery in addition to raising bees for Arold in the Lion Castle, but Leila had a problem with it, that is, she could not afford to rent a house in the town of Wisma or the town of Mecklenburg.
"Well, my father and I are raising money, but not many people are willing to help us." Leila's expression was a little gloomy, and the little attendants were also very sorry, they had no remuneration now, and there was nothing they could do to help Laila.
"Why don't you go to the Earl?" Suddenly, Sean tells Lyra that he is a member of the Assassin Guild, and that the Assassins believe in an equivalent exchange, and that he has eaten Lyra's food and wants to help her solve this problem.
"Lord Earl? Oh, how can such a small matter go to the Earl. Lyra's head shook like a rattle, and even the other squires thought it was impossible.
"No, you're helping the Earl." Sean had a strange smile on his face, as an Assassin was always observant, and he felt that Arold would be more than capable of providing Layla with the help she needed.
"Help the Earl?" Everyone was stunned, and a little confused, obviously they wanted to ask Arrod for help, but why did they help Arrod instead?
"You're not crazy, are you?" Xia Zuo sneaked another bagel from the basket and muttered to Sean. (To be continued......)
