Of course, there is always a mistake in Baimi. Despite the best resistance of the human race, every year of the shadows, there are still a few demons who break through the defense line of the human race and go deep into the hinterland of the human city-state to destroy. In human history, there have been at least four major invasions and dozens of minor destructions. Although the human race finally eliminated the demons deep into the hinterland, it also paid a lot of price.

Yang Qianyu frowned slightly, compared to the summary of the extent of the destruction of the demon clan in the scroll, such a catastrophe as the destruction of one or two counties can be regarded as 'small-scale destruction'. And what Yang Qianyu actually saw in Harudale County at the beginning, it was a hellish scene at all. One can imagine how serious the consequences of the four major invasions recorded in the annals of history were.

"Oh, yes, it seems that if you want to really enjoy a leisurely life, at least you have to wait for the world to calm down......" Yang Qianyu stretched and sighed.

"Tuk-tuk." Just as Yang Qianyu sighed, there was a knock on the door of the study.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." Yang Qianyu replied casually.

The door opened, and Song Fei and Shen Wan walked into the study in decent home dresses.

"I guess it's Brother Yang, you're here." Song Fei smiled when she saw Yang Qianyu sitting at the desk transcribing the scroll.

"As far as I know, Cher and the others should go to the circus in the town to see a circus show with those noble ladies in Prailly's territory today." Yang Qianyu turned to look at the second daughter. "Why, didn't you go?"

"No," Shen Wan replied as she took off a scroll from the bookshelf and looked at it, "The circus environment is too noisy, I don't like it." ”

"Me too." Song Fei also replied.

"Oh, I forgot you two like quiet environments." Yang Qianyu patted his forehead and sighed.

"By the way, Brother Yang, did you find any new books?" Shen Wan asked Yang Qianyu, "Lend us to take a look." ”

Hearing this, Yang Qianyu pointed to a bookshelf beside him. "Now—it's all there, go pick it yourself."

The second daughter smiled at Yang Qianyu when she heard this, and then went straight to the bookshelf to choose her favorite book.

A poetic biography of a bard chosen by Song Fei in praise of the god 'Gangdarup' in the world of Iber. This poetic biography tells the story of the abilities that Darup, the god of battle, imparted to the human warriors.

According to the poem, when humanity had just established civilization in the world of Iber, they were greeted by an endless crisis. Ancient monsters are rampant, and savage aliens are rampant. Clever and resourceful, humans have mastered the art of fighting through constant fighting, using tools to create sharp weapons, and using stone and wood to build strong barriers. However, in the face of demonic beasts and alien races with special abilities, the abilities mastered by humans are still too weak. Just as humanity was facing a desperate situation and praying to the gods for guidance, a self-proclaimed 'Gangdarup' deity appeared, giving the few elites of humanity the ability to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and transform it into fighting spirit and magic. Since then, humans have the strength to fight against monsters and aliens, and finally survived in the world of Iber......

This is the only written information that Yang Qianyu can find about the origin of the warriors, but unfortunately this is a poem sung by bards among the people after all, compared to the literature compiled by scholars, there are many less real descriptions and more freehand melodies. However, although this volume of poems can provide little knowledge, it is not bad to read as a pastime occasionally, so Yang Qianyu still translated it and put it on the shelf.

What Shen Wan was looking at was a cookbook, which was a book translated by Yang Qianyu in his spare time, in order to understand the food culture of the Iber world, but he was very disappointed after the translation.

Well? Could it be that the food culture of the world of Yber is so miserable?

No, in fact, the human beings of this world - mainly the wealthy and aristocratic classes of the commoners and above the commoners. Poor people and slaves forget about it - they are still more able to enjoy life.

In terms of staple foods, thanks to the agricultural products produced by the fertile lands of the Iber world, while the alien races around the human city-states (kobolds, gnolls, porcupines, etc.) were still drinking blood, humans already had bread, and there was no shortage of high-quality dessert bread mixed with butter, honey and spices - of course, that kind of high-quality bread was extremely complicated to make and extremely expensive.

The bread eaten most by the humans of the world of Yber is mainly made of finely ground flour, fermented and creamed, with a relatively soft white bread (which was often eaten by the upper aristocracy), and a dry, hard, and cracked black bread made from wheat flour mixed with a large amount of bran, similar to a compressed biscuit (a regular staple in the recipes of the lower nobility and the more affluent commoners)

For the poor, bread is too luxurious, and they often take some rough wheat flour (although it is also ground from wheat, but it is not flour no matter how you look at it) and put it in a bowl, add some hot water to make wheat paste, and then eat this wheat paste every day. The so-called "A good meal usually consists of two meals, one with a porridge-like wheat paste and the other with a wheat paste-like porridge." "It's not exactly a joke. For them, it would be nice to have wheat porridge to fill their stomachs, and if they could get some wild vegetables, salted fish and meat, they would all pour them into the pot and stew them with wheat paste, and it would be a very hearty 'feast'.

After talking about the main food, it's time to talk about the meat dishes of fish and meat. The agriculture of the Iber world should be considered semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral, and because of the sparse population and empty land (the entire continent is the size of Eurasia plus half of Africa, but the total human population is roughly less than a billion), and there are many wild animals, the price of fish and meat is low, and sometimes the price of fish is cheaper than the price of black bread of equal weight.

However, the humans of the Iber world do not have very good refrigeration conditions, and even the noble lords cannot eat fresh fish and meat at once. What's more, the slaughter of livestock also depends on the season, and the livestock that have just survived the winter are generally very thin, and it is too uneconomical to slaughter them if they are not fattened.

Therefore, in addition to the fresh meat that can be eaten at festivals and celebrations, most of the meat that humans in the world of Yber usually eat is air-dried meat, which is dried in the cold wind to mummify. Air-dried meat has a long storage life, and it can be eaten even if it has been kept for decades. Before eating this air-dried meat, use a knife to scrape off the grease on the surface. Then soak in clean water (running river or stream water is preferred) for a day or two before cooking and eating. As for the taste, it can only be said that it is immortal.

After talking about the main food and meat dishes, I have to talk about the side dishes. From Yang Qianyu's dietary point of view, the way people in the Iber world eat fruits is really strange. Their formal way of eating fruit -- such as roasting apples and pears over a fire, simmering them in a pot, and adding salt and pepper -- seemed to Yang Qianyu incredible. Eating fruit raw is seen as an inferior practice. On the contrary, for most vegetables, such as carrots, turnips, cabbage, cabbage, etc., the humans of the Yber world are accustomed to eating them raw, at most with salad. Even the pungent flavors of onions are true – of course, there are also roasted onions soaked in gravy, but that's a haute cuisine.

Therefore, Yang Qianyu also wrote a note at the end of this volume of recipes - it is strongly recommended that companions do not try to eat such dishes after reading them, because it will definitely cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
