"Fleeing? Can't wait for Red Leaf City? ”

The businessmen looked at each other.

We...... Are you talking about the same Momiji City?

If possible, they don't want to leave Red Leaf City, it's not that they have no money, they have to come out to make money!

In the face of the ridicule of his former colleagues, Marlowe didn't speak, he felt that there was nothing to say, to exaggerate, now the two are no longer people of the same world, and there is no need for him to talk to each other.

Seeing that Marlowe didn't speak, Marcie thought he was acquiescing, and spoke again with some pride:

"I said at the time, let you leave with me, there is a care on the way, but you have to assist the city lord's wife who doesn't know the details, now it's okay, it's not like to leave in the end! Look at us, thanks to the Castle Lord, being entrusted with a heavy task in Silver Pine Castle is much better than in Red Leaf Castle! ”

Marlowe still didn't speak, but Rat Daqiang was not happy.

He knows whether Red Leaf City is good or not, and to a certain extent, the construction of Red Leaf City and their orcs have also made great efforts.

Rat Daqiang said unconvinced:

"You're not in Red Leaf City, how do you know Red Leaf City is bad? Is it better here than Momiji Castle? Hehe, you really dare to speak, you have been to Red Leaf City! ”

When he said this, Marcie was not pleased.

"I haven't been? I was the mayor of Momiji Castle at the time! You guys just pretend, they were all forced to leave Red Leaf City in the heavy snow, what else is there to deny! ”

"You-"

Rat Daqiang was about to retort, but was interrupted by Earl Longman.

"Okay, okay, I guess you must have some misunderstanding, but now that the food has come up, let's eat it first, and then we'll talk about it after eating!"

Count Longman was still smiling, like a peacemaker.

Seeing this, Rat Daqiang didn't say anything anymore, Zhang Feng explained, try not to cause trouble outside, endure if you can endure conflicts, even if you break the fortune and avoid disasters, just go back and report the names of these people to Zhang Feng.

As soon as Earl Longman's voice fell, a servant stepped forward and laid the food in front of the people.

Looking at the food in front of her, Marcy licked her lips.

I have to say, a big city is a big city? It's not at all comparable to the remote town that doesn't show up on the map, like Momiji City? This is evident just by looking at the food that serves the guests.

A banquet of this magnitude, from after the arrival of winter? It's been a long time since it's been held.

In general? Otherworldly banquets are all shared.

Everyone has a similar amount of food in front of them, of course? If you don't have enough to eat, you can ask the host of the banquet for it.

For the host of the banquet? Eat the food he prepared cleanly? is the highest compliment to him.

Perhaps considering that Marlowe had come from afar, there were many types of food prepared this time, and the amount of food in front of everyone was also very large.

After all the dishes were ready, Count Longman smiled and said:

"You're welcome? Despite letting go of eating? We may not have many other things in Silver Pine City, but there is still a lot of food, it is estimated that you have not eaten many delicacies, if you don't have enough to eat, you can ask the servants to add! ”

Count Longman finished? Marlowe and the others immediately grateful:

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your hospitality!"

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your hospitality."

“……”

Just, listening to these voices of thanks? Longman always feels that these people are a little weak, is it because they haven't rested well?

So many delicacies currently? Even if it's drowsy, it's going to have to fly away!

Although I don't understand it very well? What's wrong with them? But Count Longman didn't care too much either? He took the lead in picking up two knives and cut open a plate of salted boiled meat in front of him.

When they saw that Count Longman had made a move, his retainers immediately set to action, as if someone had robbed them.

Marcy couldn't wait to cut a black pudding, which was made from pig blood, meat, fat, oats, bread, etc.

Although it didn't look very good, it tasted very much to Marsie's taste, and she hardly had a chance to eat it in Red Leaf City.

"Delicious! I think the black pudding of the Earl's house is the best food in Silver Pine City! No, it's the best food in the entire Baker Kingdom! ”

Marcy didn't hesitate to give her praise.

"I prefer this offal pie, soak it in green bean candy, this taste will be unforgettable for a lifetime!"

The former knight of Momiji Castle spoke.

Others also chimed in, after all, it was rare to rub a meal of the city lord, so naturally they had to say good things, and it was really delicious!

"Haha, everyone can like it, but I prefer these salted boiled meat, you don't know, the salt I used this time is refined salt bought from the royal capital! There is no trace of miscellaneous taste, and the refined salt is as white as snow! I paid a lot of money to get it, and I pulled down my cheeks! ”

Hearing Count Longman's words, the eyes of his retainers lit up instantly.

They have long heard the legend of refined salt, this is a kind of salt that only appeared this year, and I heard that the production is extremely rare, and in a hundred salt mines, it may be a little!

This kind of refined salt is only available in the royal capital, and it is exclusively for the royal family, and they have always been curious about what the food made of this refined salt will look like, but with their status, they naturally have no chance to taste it.

But I didn't expect that the Earl actually bought these refined salts, and with the help of these outsiders, the Earl generously tasted them for everyone!

What a great honor!

Marcie didn't care about eating the black pudding anymore, so she quickly cut off a piece of fat and carefully forked it up with the tip of her knife and put it in her mouth.

"Hmmm! It's delicious, it seems to be really different, and there is no astringency before! ”

Marsie's eyes lit up, I don't know if it was because of the psychological effect, she actually thought that this piece of salted boiled meat was more delicious than black pudding!

"Yes, I also think this salted boiled meat is delicious!"

"Delicious ......"

“……”

"Huh? Why don't you eat it? ”

Suddenly, Count Longman saw that Marlowe and the others did not make a move, and it was a little strange.

"You don't have to be restrained, just eat, it's not enough for me to have here!"

He thought these people were embarrassed, so he spoke very boldly.

A group of merchants from Red Leaf City, look at me, I'll look at you, no way, Lord Earl has spoken, eat!

It's just that looking at the food on the table, it's really hard to put your mouth shut!

Those black puddings are curvy and long, and they look like poop, especially since these black puddings are not cut, they are exactly the same!

Most of the boiled meat in salted water was fat, and there was a lot of blood foam floating on it, and a faint fishy smell came from the soup pot.

There is also the animal offal pie with a strong fishy smell, boiled green and yellow, and the green bean soup with a strange smell......

The only one that sells better is vanilla chicken, but this is only relatively speaking, after all, this miserable white chicken looks very firewood, especially since it has a lot of grapes in its belly, and it doesn't seem to have any appetite.

In the end, it was Marlowe who was the first to eat.

He cut a small piece of boiled meat in salted water and put it in his mouth with a blank face.

It's not that he can't eat these things at all, but after he gets used to eating the things of Red Leaf City, he will eat these again, which makes him a little difficult to accept.

Especially since they had breakfast in the morning, this meal may be the first meal of the day for Count Longman, but for Marlowe and them, they ate food from Red Leaf City in the morning, and they can't eat this kind of food now.

Like Anne.

She has lived in Red Leaf City for so long, and she has long been used to everything in Red Leaf City, especially in terms of food.

Anne didn't eat much, and after eating some biscuits in the morning, she was not hungry at all, and now she lost her appetite in an instant when she saw these unsightly and unpalatable foods.

She looked at Abbe pitifully, and Abbe gave her a helpless look.

As for the others, they are similar, and they can eat it, but it tastes like chewing wax.

In order not to make Count Longman too ugly, everyone still pinched their noses, and no matter what the taste, they just stuffed it into their mouths.

Soon, when Earl Longman and his retainers had finished eating the food in front of them, he beckoned, and the servant who was spitting on the side hurried up to clean up the table and bring the food again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Count Longman was about to say something, but he saw that the people in Red Leaf City on the opposite side still had a lot of food left on the table, and even a lot of food did not move, but only ate a few bites symbolically.

This made Earl Longman's face stiffen a little.

Following Count Longman's gaze, his retainers naturally also discovered the other party's situation and didn't understand what was going on.

Such delicious food in front of you but not eating?

Could it be because of Marcie and them?

Marcie had a bad eye, and she felt that these people were simply embarrassing herself.

The city lord had a rare invitation to dinner, but they didn't eat it, this was the face of the city lord, and the city lord would definitely not directly trouble them, after all, the nobles couldn't afford to lose this face, so the city lord's anger could only be borne by himself!

With this in mind, Marcie looked at Marlowe with hatred.

"It's really calculating, why didn't I find out before, this Marlowe is so good at playing with his heart!"

Although Marcy had seen through Marlowe's scheme, she didn't have much to do at the moment, but she wasn't too worried, after all, no one was more proficient in eliminating the Earl's anger.

"What's wrong with you? Could it be that today's food is not to everyone's liking? ”

Earl Longman's smile stiffened.

"No, no, Lord Earl's food is already delicious, but we've already had breakfast, so we're not hungry now."

Someone spoke out to explain, barely finding an excuse.

It's just that his excuse can't make the Earl feel relieved.

"Breakfast? Forgive me for my shallowness and having never heard the word breakfast, can this gentleman explain it to me? ”

Count Longman's words fell, and their retainers did not dare to eat any more, and they could obviously sense that the Earl was a little unhappy.

"Uh......"

The merchant who spoke could also sense that Count Longman's tone was not quite right, but the words had already been spoken, and he could not take them back, so he could only explain stubbornly:

"In Momiji Castle, we have three meals a day, the first meal is called breakfast after we get up in the morning, the second meal at noon is called lunch, and the third meal in the afternoon is called dinner...... Oh yes, if you work overtime at night, you'll also have a supper, which is the fourth meal. ”

When the merchant had finished speaking, Earl Longman did not speak, as if he was stunned, and his retainers were unwilling, and immediately someone accused the merchant.

"Nonsense, I've grown so big, I've never heard of eating four meals a day, where is this custom? You're afraid you're not lying to us, Lord Earl! ”

Earl Longman, who had not spoken, heard the word "deception" in this man's words, and his face became even more ugly.

What was most important to the aristocracy? Face, of course!

Being deceived in front of someone, this is simply not taking him as an earl seriously!

Count Longman also thought that the other party was lying to him, after all, in the entire Buck Kingdom, he had never heard of eating four meals a day, not even Buck's royal city.

Don't underestimate the extra two meals, which means that the consumption of food in the city has doubled!

In the case of his Silver Pine City, if the food consumption increased by ten percent, it would be enough for him to pay attention, and if it increased by twenty percent, it would be enough for him to be anxious.

What if food consumption increased by 30 percent?

Then he has reason to suspect that someone is keeping private soldiers in captivity!

It's not a scorching mess anymore, it's a position that threatens him!

So Count Longman did not believe the merchant's words.

Not to mention whether they have enough money to maintain the doubling of expenses, the local city lord will definitely not allow it, after all, a city's food reserves are limited, especially in winter.

If this happens, it may cause the price of food to rise, and then these people find that the gold in their money bags is not enough to support them to eat four meals a day, so they can only give up this idea, and then there are fewer people who buy food, and the food will gradually become normal, and they can only obediently eat two meals a day.

And in this case, the city lord will most likely intervene, after all, for the city lord, he doesn't need his people to live well, he just needs the other party to pay taxes obediently and not make trouble.

Of course, the premise of all this is on a large scale, and if you were an individual, you would eat ten or eight meals a day, and no one would care about you, and you would not be able to shake the price of food.

Earl Longman looked at the merchant sternly, and as an earl, his gaze was still very oppressive.

It's just that for the rebuttal of this retainer and the stern gaze of the city lord, this merchant from Red Leaf City was a little aggrieved.

"How can I, how dare I deceive the great Earl, I am in Red Leaf City, I really eat a minimum of three meals a day, this is the death order given by the Lord of Red Leaf City, the kind that everyone must obey! If you don't comply, you'll be fined! ”

Looking at the merchant's somewhat frightened expression, Count Longman felt that he didn't look like he was talking, but how could this be! Or was it ordered by the lord of the city himself? Did he think his city was too stable?

"Hehe, may you ask this gentleman, what do you have for breakfast? Even if you do eat this breakfast, could it be better than the feast prepared by the Earl? That's not a reason for you to ignore Lord Earl! ”

Although Marcy was speaking to the businessman, her gaze looked at Marlowe from time to time, quite defiantly.

The reason why she targeted Marlowe so much was because they suffered a big loss after leaving Red Leaf City!

At that time, they encountered a group of horse thieves, although some of them had several knights escorted, but these knights were all new knights, and the other horse thieves had several horse thieves who were no less than the strength of the knights!

Both sides were a little jealous, but the horse thieves were numerous, and they were more dominant, and in the end they had no choice but to break the fortune and avoid disasters, and give all the property taken from Red Leaf City to the horse thieves, so as to avoid a big war.

She always felt that if there were two knights with explosive combat effectiveness, Marlowe and Baker, it would definitely not be such a result, and maybe even rob the horse thief in reverse!

But there is no if, otherwise, if they have this money, they can go to a better place to develop, such as the royal capital.

Of course, it's not bad now, they are still living quite comfortably in Silverpine City, and Count Longman is very kind to them, especially her, and it is not in vain that she works so hard in bed.

In response to Marcie's question about breakfast, the merchant looked at Marlowe.

Marlowe is the leader of the team this time, everything has to be up to Marlowe, and he also knows that these breakfasts are exclusively owned by Red Leaf City, and he doesn't know if it is appropriate to say it now.

After thinking for a moment, Marlowe nodded slightly.

Anyway, Lord Zhang Feng has always wanted to open the reputation of Red Leaf City, and it would be good if he could start here, although his goal was the royal capital, after all, there was an Annie in the team, and he would definitely be able to get some care in the royal capital, but Zhang Feng asked him to improvise, and those merchants in Silver Pine City would definitely tell everything about Red Leaf City, rather than hiding it like this, it was better to take the initiative to say it, and he didn't want to offend Lord Earl.

After getting Marlowe's consent, the merchant spoke with some embarrassment:

"I ate relatively simple in the morning, only ate more than ten biscuits......"

The low-priced biscuits produced in Red Leaf City are relatively affordable, one piece is almost the size of a palm, and it is very thick, and more than ten pieces are completely full.

It's not that he can't afford to eat anything else, if he is in Red Leaf City, these more affordable things, he can completely let go of them, but isn't this leaving Red Leaf City, there are so many things to bring, eat a little less, it's all money!

Hearing the merchant's words, the retainers of Earl Longman all looked at each other, biscuits? What is this?

It doesn't sound like a random name, but they've never heard of it!

Why don't you ask him?

No, no, no! Can't ask! Doesn't that seem like I've seen a lot!

This was not only the opinion of the retainers, but even the Earl of Longman, although he was also curious, but his aristocratic face did not allow him to consult a little-known small merchant.

Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be in awkwardness, Count Longman suddenly laughed twice.

"After seeing these friends who came from afar, they are not used to the food of our Silver Pine City, so I don't force them, come here!"

He clapped his hands, and the servants cleaned up the table at his command.

Seeing these delicacies leave them, those retainers hated Marlowe and these people to death.

It's maddening to let the miserliness, oh no, the great Earl, have a dinner and they have barely felt the deliciousness of the food before they are taken down.

Anne looked at the unkind eyes of these people and quietly tugged at the corners of Abbe's clothes.

"Abbey, we're not in danger, are we......"

Faced with Anne's concern, Abbe shook his head slightly.

"No, don't worry, the knights here are no match for me and Marlowe."

Hearing Abbey's words, Anne was relieved, and Abbey said that there was no problem, then there was no problem.

But she misses Red Leaf City a little bit now, there are so many delicious foods in Red Leaf City, how can it be like now, because of a meal, it feels like it's about to fight.

As for the small problem of "they lost the face of Earl Longman because they didn't eat it", it was naturally ignored by Anne, after all, it was so unpalatable, no one would eat it!

After all these so-called delicacies were removed, Count Longman still smiled, as if what had just happened had no effect on him at all.

He smiled and spoke:

"This banquet is held by me, it is my responsibility that you don't eat well, since the food is not to your taste, then everyone always likes the wine, we have several kinds of wine in Yinsong City, I believe you must not have drunk it, come here, serve the wine!"

The servants brought wine glasses and flasks.

"Thank you, Lord Earl!"

"Thank you, Lord Earl!"

“……”

Marlowe and the others had no choice but to accept it silently. Although they felt that the wine here was definitely not as good as that of Red Leaf City, but now this was in Earl Longman's territory, so in order not to hurt the other party's face, they could only let it go.

However, this also makes people really understand the true meaning of the phrase "nobleman with a good face".

This sentence is vividly embodied in the Earl of Longman.

But in fact, to put it mildly, this Earl Longman is quite helpless.

Because yesterday I heard a report from the soldiers, a group of caravans came to Silver Pine City, and this caravan came from Red Leaf City.

As an earl, Longman's knowledge is far from being comparable to ordinary people, this is the northernmost remote town on the map of the Buck Kingdom, he knows, after all, everyone is in the north, and some of his retainers are also from Red Leaf City.

Speaking of these retainers, his favorite is Marsie, although she is not the most beautiful in Silver Pine City, nor the best figure, but she is the most skilled, and she can enjoy the feeling of flying every time.

For this retainer, although he did not announce his relationship, it is not a secret that he is in the upper echelons of Silver Pine City, he is very good to Marsie, and everyone also sees it.

For example, he was surprised by the news that "the caravan from Red Leaf City came to Silver Pine City on a snowy day", so he shared it with Marcy, who first didn't believe it when she heard it.

This season, few people dare to be outside. But there is no need for the other party to lie to them, after all, if you really want to deceive, it is better to say anything than to say that you are from Red Leaf City.

Then that's all that leaves the possibility-

The other party is fleeing!

There are no supplies left in Red Leaf City, and if they don't leave, they will wait for death!

Thinking that Red Leaf City was finally over, Marcie still had some sick pleasure in her heart, after all, Marlowe and they were still in Red Leaf City.

After hearing the news, Marcie wanted to meet these people, it would be better if she could find some acquaintances inside, she wanted to show those who hadn't left how well he had been since Marcie left!

So Marcie blew a pillow wind in the ears of Earl Longman, and this is why today's banquet was born.

Longman naturally liked Marcy very much, and agreed to her request, and speaking of which, he really didn't hold a banquet, so he took this opportunity to contact the feelings of the retainers.

But what I didn't expect was that at the banquet, Count Longman was actually lost face by these people!

His heart is not big, plus so many retainers are here, and he is lost face in front of his subordinates, can he bear it? You must not bear it, otherwise where is your majesty!

Since it is a matter of face, let's get it back.

The way of drinking in the other world is similar to that in the tavern, you can drink it at mealtime, or you can drink it anytime, anywhere, just take out the wine, and you don't need any side dishes, just drink hard, because their alcohol content is very low, but you don't have to worry about getting drunk.

Seeing that the wine was already in place, Longman smiled confidently.

Yesterday, his subordinates saluted him a few pots of fine wine, and heard the subordinate say that he spent a lot of money to buy it in the hands of a down-and-out little nobleman, and this wine was handed down from the ancestors of the down-and-out little nobleman, and he was reluctant to drink it himself, but he really had no money, so he had to sell it cheaply.

After the subordinate took a small sip, he was immediately shocked, he had never tasted such a delicious wine!

So he made a quick decision, and directly bought this pot of wine at a high price, and used it to present to the Earl.

After Count Longman tasted it, he naturally praised everyone for this subordinate, and directly mentioned the other party by three levels!

In order to earn back the face this time, Count Longman can be said to have made a lot of money!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a fine wine handed down from my ancestors, and I rarely drink it even if I don't talk about you! Today, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to enjoy it together. ”

Hearing Count Longman's words, not only those retainers, but even these merchants from Red Leaf City widened their eyes.

There is no businessman who does not like to drink unless he is allergic.

If these wines are as magical as Count Longman says, they must try them!

Wine and food are not to be disappointed.

"Thank you, Lord Earl!"

Thank you again.

"It is an honor for us to be able to taste the wine handed down by the ancestors of the Earl!"

Naturally, the retainers of Earl Longman also thanked him, but what he said was much more flattering.

"By the way, I have to explain in advance before drinking, this wine is different from the dark beer or spiced red wine you usually drink, this wine is spicy in the mouth, ordinary people may not be able to stand it, but after the aftertaste, and this wine is easy to get drunk, if you don't drink well, please moderate it."

Hearing the words of Count Longman, his retainers were a little excited, this wine sounded very powerful, worthy of the fine wine handed down by the ancestors of the Earl!

For a while, all kinds of beautiful words came out of their mouths, and Count Longman was a little flustered.

As for Marcie, it was as if her tail had reached the sky at this time.

Because last night, the Count of Longman had shared it with her!

As for her knowledge of the characteristics of this wine and how to drink it, she thought that she was definitely second only to the Earl among them!

Marcy's eyes rolled, and she had a great idea!

"I tell you, you have to drink it like this, or you ......."

Marcy whispered to her current colleagues, after all, this wine is too irritating, and if you don't pay attention to it for the first time, you may look foreign.

Count Longman naturally noticed Marcy's small movements, but he didn't stop it, and even had a good show.

After all, when he drank it for the first time yesterday, his performance was not very elegant.

Although these wines are very expensive, if he can buy back face for some gold coins, he must be willing.

As for Marlowe and his party, they were a little confused after hearing Count Longman's introduction of his "ancestral wine".

This is the ...... Why is it so familiar?

If you look at it literally, isn't this the specialty of Red Leaf City, "white wine"!

But it shouldn't be possible, after all, it was handed down from his ancestors by Count Longman, maybe it's just a coincidence, after all, wine and wine are very different, and it is difficult to express just what you say, which needs to be savored.

But when the servant picked up the flask and poured the transparent, lightly scented liquor into the glass, the people on the road were completely stunned.

This familiar color, familiar taste......

"It's not—hmm!"

Anne saw that Baijiu in front of her was just talking, but was suddenly covered by Abbe's mouth.

But now everyone is very interested in this "ancestral wine", and no one cares about what Anne has not yet spoken.

"Abbe, what are you doing! What 'ancestral wine'? This is clearly Zhang Feng's liquor! ”

Anne whispered her displeasure to Abbe.

This is Zhang Feng's wine, she doesn't want to be impersonated!

"Shhhh

Abbe first shushed out, and when she saw that no one was looking, she whispered in Anne's ear:

"Miss, you just know, don't say it, please give this earl a face, or if he gets angry, we may have some trouble."

"Oh~ I see!"

Anne was not stupid, she instantly understood what she meant, and nodded immediately.

"I understand, I don't say it!"

Everyone is not stupid, although they dare to be 100% sure that this is the liquor produced in Red Leaf City, after all, they have all drunk a lot, but just now this earl has been boasting for so long, if he debunks him, wouldn't it be difficult to get out of this castle?

I understand, I don't say!

Marcy, the former knight of Red Leaf City, those retainers, and even Count Longman's eyes all stared at Marlowe and his party as if they were nothing, they had reached an agreement very tacitly, the other party would not drink, and he would resolutely not drink, nothing else, just to see the other party make a fool of himself!

Although it is a bit naïve to say, when it comes to nobles and city lords, this is not a trivial matter!

After all, for these nobles, especially the big nobles, when there is no threat of war, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, they have no natural enemies, they don't lack anything, and relatively speaking, face is very valuable.

But what happened next was a bit unexpected.

I saw these people pick up the wine glass, first sniff it lightly, and then take a small sip, some frowned slightly, some showed a look of enjoyment, although their expressions were different, but they did not make a fool of the Earl Longman, but everything was so natural and elegant.

Marlowe closed his eyes slightly, and only after the wine in his mouth burst open, filling his mouth with a rich aroma, he slowly swallowed until all the aroma had entered his stomach with the wine, and then he opened his eyes.

"Good wine!"

At the same time, he was complaining ruthlessly in his heart.

Same! It is indeed the liquor of Red Leaf City, but it is a first-generation liquor, and compared with the second-generation liquor he carries, the strength is still a little bit worse.

"Good wine!"

"Good wine!"

“……”

After Marlowe finished speaking, the other merchants also applauded, and even Anne blushed and shouted a good wine.

She didn't drink much, just dipped her fingers and tasted it lightly, but that didn't stop her from saying "good wine."

With the approval and praise of these merchants of Red Leaf City, it stands to reason that Count Longman should be happy, after all, this is his banquet, and praising the wine is praising him for being good, but why does it feel a little weird?

Not only did Earl Longman think so, but so did Marcie.

The other party finally spoke up and agreed, even praised, and Marcy could see from their eyes that they were definitely very sincere, but why couldn't she be happy?

The other party drank it, and these retainers of Count Longman naturally no longer hesitated, they couldn't wait for a long time.

It's just—

"Ahem!"

"Ahem!"

"Uh-ahem, phew!"

“……”

Although they have been told to drink it in small sips, they have never drunk it, and this liquor and beer are not the same thing at all, and if you haven't drunk it, it is really difficult to get used to it for the first time.

In particular, there are a few people who are very confident in their own alcohol consumption and do not heed the warnings, they like the refreshing feeling of drinking in large gulps, and then tragedy - they were so rushed that they couldn't stand it and spit it out!

Looking at a group of stray and imageless retainers, and then looking at the merchants of Red Leaf City who were calm and elegant in wine tasting on the other side, Earl Longman finally understood why he was still unhappy when he heard the other party's praise.

Because they don't have a foreign appearance, but their own side is full of ugliness!

"No, didn't I tell you to drink slowly! How can you disgrace the Earl so much in front of outsiders! ”

Marcy whispered in hatred.

"Ahem, we don't want to, but who knew that this wine was so rushed, ahem, I didn't taste the fragrance, I just felt spicy...... Ahem! ”

The former knight of Momiji City was also helpless.

Count Longman's face was a little ugly, and he felt that these subordinates were too embarrassed!

One by one, they can usually blow so much, but not to mention going to the battlefield, the last wine field has become like this, or in front of outsiders, this is a loss of their own face!

But fortunately, I don't know if the wine is too good, Marlowe and the others did not look at Count Longman, but only cared about drinking.

Count Longman felt that his gaffe should not have been seen by the other party, which was an unfortunate blessing.

"Hehe, look at this earl, his face is so ugly, he has become a pig's liver!"

Anne lowered her head, her shoulders shaking.

"Miss~ Please be quiet."

Abbe is very helpless, this young lady is actually very good in other aspects, but the laughter is a little low, I don't see that we are all serious!

"It's okay, it's okay, they can't see me!"

Anne whispered.

Abbe shook his head helplessly.

By the time the retainers had recovered their strength, Marlowe had already drunk the wine in his glass, and the liquor in Anne's cup had also been drunk by Abedet.

After all, out of respect for the host of the banquet, it is better not to leave it behind.

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for your hospitality today! These are some of the best wines I've ever drunk in my life! ”

Marlowe got up and gave a knightly salute quite standardly.

He wasn't lying, it was one of the best liquors he had ever drunk, but he had drunk it a long time ago.

As Marlowe's words fell, the merchants all got up, and all of them expressed their sincere admiration for the wine, and for the Earl of Longman, and their tone was sincere, and their faces were solemn, and at first glance they were heartfelt.

Count Longman's face finally improved a lot.

Although I consumed a lot of wine and gold today, and although it was a little unpleasant at the beginning, overall, it was still good!

He didn't lack gold or anything.

Count Longman, who was respected and praised, smiled heartily and said:

"In that case, then I won't keep you, I wish you all a good time in Silver Pine City!"

"Thank you, Lord Earl, I'm waiting to take my leave!"

"Farewell!"

The crowd saluted Count Longman, and then left in an orderly manner under the guidance of the servants.

"You-"

After seeing the other party leave, Count Longman was about to teach his subordinates a lesson, but Marlowe went and returned.

Count Longman quickly changed his face and said with a very kind smile:

"What else is going on with Knight Marlowe?"

"That's the case, we just drank such a precious wine from Lord Earl, and we are a little unhappy, so we are going to give a small gift to Lord Earl in return, please Lord Earl don't dislike it!"

Marlowe took out a small long box very seriously, and the carved patterns on the box were very exquisite, and it looked like a masterpiece.

"What's not to go...... Ahem, since it's your heart, I naturally won't dislike it! ”

Longman originally wanted to be polite, but after seeing that exquisite box, he was not reserved for a moment, and with his aristocratic experience, he could see at a glance that this little gift was not simple!

When the servant had taken the gift, Marlowe spoke:

"Then I'll take my leave—by the way, Lord Earl, I think it's better for you to watch this little gift alone!"

Without waiting for Count Longman to speak, he immediately left quickly.

"Hehe, what a weirdo!"

Earl Longman didn't care about Marlowe's words, since it was a gift from someone else, and it seemed to be very precious, this must be opened and shown off in a crowded place, what is the point of hiding alone to see?

Everyone was also curious about the gift, and looked at Earl Longman.

Count Longman didn't have any ink, and opened it directly:

"Let me see, what kind of gift has been prepared for this guest from afar? Hey? ”

After the wooden box was opened, it was a delicate glass bottle,

Not to mention anything else, this small wooden box and glass bottle alone are worth a lot of gold coins!

Count Longman happily picked up the large glass bottle, and everyone gathered around to watch, only to see a few lines written on it—

Red leaf liquor (gift box limited edition)

Place of origin: Momiji Castle No. 1 Distillery

Selling price: 888 gold

"Red leaf liquor?"

Seeing the words on it, everyone was a little puzzled.

Longman also doesn't quite understand, liquor? Haven't he heard of it?

Curiosity drove him to open the cap.

Suddenly, a rich aroma of wine emanated!

This is the same aroma as the "Earl Longman Ancestral Wine" just now!

No, it's even stronger!

Earl Longman only took a sip, and he felt the urge to drink it.

But his face turned ugly.

He's not stupid, he finally understands why Knight Marlowe said just now that he was going to let him open it alone!

The crowd is not stupid either.

Earl Longman's ancestral wine?

No, red leaf type liquor!

"Someone! Call me the captain of the North City Gate! ”

Count Longman was furious, and at the same time complained frantically in his heart.

"Who made this wine! I'm a fucking ......."

……

In a hidden corner of Silverpine City, Eugene and Benson lit oil lamps and counted bags full of gold coins.

"You say, are we cheating?"

Eugene was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, brother, just make money! Others don't know the origin of these wines, and besides, with our strength, as long as we don't sell the wine to the Earl, even if the other party finally knows, they can't do anything to us in this Silver Pine City! ”

"That's what I said......"

……

Outside Momiji Castle.

A golden steam car sees snow as nothing.

"Ahh

In the car, Zhang Feng, who had just taken off his clothes, sneezed.

"Master? Do you have a cold? ”

Erica, who was only dressed in small clothes, spoke a little wryly.

"I don't know who's talking about me...... Knowing that I have a cold, why don't you come and warm me up! ”

Zhang Feng smiled evilly and spoke.

"Yes, master~"

Erica bit her lip lightly, walked to Zhang Feng's side with a blushing face, reached out to wrap her arms around Zhang Feng's waist, and buried her head in his chest, she could clearly feel the heartbeat of the two.

Although she had expected such a day, she did not expect to be in such an environment.

Outside is the howling wind and snow, and inside is the spring color of the garden.
