Chapter 35: Food Culture, Chamber of Commerce, and Rebels

Both sides are very curious about the strange tableware eating habits of people from other worlds, but people from both worlds can't play with each other's tableware. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There were constraints in Mulimu Village, but here in Dunkhle, the various spoons provided a sufficient material basis for Yu Youzi to simulate chopsticks, and at the same time, he was able to see at least a dozen strange spoons, large and small, in various ways.

The general three concave spoons with short convex forks, the combination of forks and spoons, can be used by any earthling or even another person in the magical world. But a kind of head inverted with blunt teeth, like a crab two back to the front of the big spoon is incomprehensible, Yieni demonstrated how to use it - with the action of scooping back the wrist flexibly and continuously inserted the scoop, and after a while, the fist-sized hard bread food was divided into small lumps of almost the same size, which were easy to eat.

It turned out to be a kind of professional dictile tableware, which can not only be used to make bread and fix it with other spoons, but also can be used to reduce meat and plant rhizomes into small pieces, which is more specialized than that kind of knife-headed spoon.

I heard Dunheller say that there are special spoons for fish, venison, ribs, sausages, nuts, raspberries, etc., but since these dishes are not available today, the professional maids do not prepare them.

In Yu Youzi, he lamented that the people take food as the sky, no matter where they are really interested in eating, and the tableware can reflect a civilized eating habit very much. And the other four people were also impressed by the tableware of Yu Youzi's world, the kind of spirit of eating the world with two sticks, and they were calm and simple and chic. Yu Youzi also admired the professional division of labor spoon in their world, which seemed to be very powerful.

"It's nothing, and we use spoons on our side, and I find it troublesome a lot of the time. Especially at aristocratic banquets, there are more than 50 kinds of spoons, and using the wrong spoon when eating is uneducated, disgraced, and disqualified, and the hillbilly nouveau riche makes me afraid to eat, and finally comes back hungry...... That's why I hate the royal capital......"

Dunheller complained loudly, his fingers turning the spoon nimbly like a school student on Earth turning a pen, a spoon flying back and forth on her Qianqianyu fingers, seeing Aisha fascinated for a while, wanting to try it, but she couldn't turn half a circle, and the spoon fell to the plate and clanged. Luo Er, who was standing on the side, frowned, and said in a confession: "Miss, stop playing with tableware, this is a forbidden matter, it is very rude." ”

Rohr was obviously preaching to Dunhele, but when Aisha heard it, she also felt a fever on her face, and quickly grabbed the spoon on the plate, lowered her head deeply, and concentrated on dealing with the mixed vegetable soup in front of her.

"Look at table manners. Dunheller threw the spoon into the bowl, leaned back lazily and said, "Yieni, do you businessmen usually pay attention to this set?"

Miss Zhen, who has been very elegant and calm, wiped her mouth with a napkin before saying, "Look at the occasion, we don't pay much attention to it in private." The Scarlet Orchid Chamber of Commerce has never been in contact with the tableware industry, but he has heard from his allies that he can sell 800,000 spoons of all kinds every year, and invent at least two new spoons......"

"Miss Eyeni, you're talking about the Tunginta Chamber of Commerce, right?" Ornstone asked.

Eyenne nodded, and Ornstone continued:

"Ah, I often order cutlery at their house, and I heard that they used to be a group of climbers, and then found a vein in the Tower of Babel and made a fortune. ”

"Yes, that's why they named themselves 'Tongjin Tower', and even their headquarters are located on the fifth floor of the Tower of Babel, they are considered a collective cooperative chamber of commerce, and after they have the financial resources, they also fund a number of tower climbers' guilds, and hire them to explore the resources of the Tower of Babel. ”

"A guild with the name of the Chamber of Commerce, a guild where members cooperate in business?" Yu Youzi thought for a while and concluded his speech.

"The 'Tonjin Tower' is almost a country of its own, if only they could serve the country like Miss Eyenne's Scarlet Vine Orchid family. ”

Eyeni smiled, took a sip of the juice, and didn't speak.

Aisha spoke: "A country of its own?" but how can I look at the climbers, and feel that they are all a group of sloppy and casual people?"

Dunhle: "We are really the only ones here who have the most contact with the climbers...... The large state of Babel is full of 'countries', and our country is far away from the Tower of Babel, and there is no enclave, so it is impossible to have close contact with the Guild of Tower Climbers...... The guilds that built the city in the Tower of Babel can't become a country, they all have their own funding channels, but the 'Tongjin Tower' is more business-oriented and has more contact with the outside world, unlike other guilds that don't have their tentacles out of the tower, and the commercial part is represented by the outside chamber of commerce. ”

Yieni nodded and agreed: "My Scarlet Tenglan family's wood silk industry is purchased from several guilds. ”

Ornstone praised, "Miss Dunheller knows a lot about the Climbers' Guild. ”

"Of course, it's a pity that my talent attributes are too poor and I don't have natural skills, when I was in school, I always longed for college......"

Yu Youzi was stunned when he heard the word "university" - when he first came into contact with the word university, combined with the context of the book, it meant that the university in this world is not the meaning of modern "university" in Chinese on the earth, a little similar to the ancient meaning of university is different from college, only a concept that can be understood, and the words that are forced to be translated can only be translated as "comprehensive higher education college for highly gifted young people", and it should be better translated as "school".

At this time, he couldn't help but ask:

"'University', can I understand it as an academy dedicated to training adventurers?"

All but Aisha chuckled.

Ornstone: "'Adventurer' means a lot more. ”

Eyeni: "I'm the ...... who graduated from school"

Deng Hele: "If the test passes, I will be the senior sister of Her Royal Highness Princess Xianruola." ”

The atmosphere was originally quite relaxed, but when Xian Ruola was mentioned, it became dull again, and everyone took care of themselves and ate by themselves.

The tea time after the meal is the same kind of tea that Aisha brewed after the meal in Muli Muzhong that day.

"Your Excellency Yu Youzi, are you not satisfied with the lunch I prepared?" Deng Hele said curiously as he took a sip of tea, and Rohr became nervous.

Yu Youzi thought about it for a while, and understood why she asked one time: "It's not the problem of the food, it's that I haven't adapted to the food here." ”

It can be jokingly called: the food chain system of different worlds is not satisfied.

Dunheller breathed a sigh of relief: "Look at what you swallow directly, you thought it was ......"

Yu Youzi didn't want to explain the species, proteins, plant fiber molecules, taste cells, etc., so he smiled, raised his teacup in greeting, and drank it: "Actually, I really have a problem here. ”

"Huh?"

"It's Rohr's clothes, the style is really peculiar, I've seen Aisha wear the same before, what's the point of attention?" Yu Youzi pretended not to understand the concept of "maid", and asked purely from the appearance of the clothes.

Dunheller was asked, the maid's uniform is like this, is there any other reason?

Rohr: "Ahem, will Miss let me explain?"

Dunheller hurriedly motioned to her stewardess to continueβ€”

"It is said that the maid was originally designed to prevent the maid from stealing, so this smooth shape of the upper and lower parts was specially designed, and this style has continued to this day...... Of course, the current one is still different from the original, and the current one puts more emphasis on streamlining and beauty......"

Yu Youzi was secretly looking at the maid's convex and backward warped under the backdrop of the maid's skirt, when the maid who was waiting outside suddenly opened the door and let a man in a vertical striped shirt enter, and as soon as he saw Ornstone, he exclaimed, "The royal guard brought by Her Majesty has returned!"

Ornstone stood up with a touch: "Where?!"

"It's at the city gate! At the south gate, the captain of the guard did not dare to make his own decision, and did not open the door, and someone had already gone to inform Lord Fulton. ”

Dunheller and Iyeni also stood up.

Ornstone calmed down and turned to look at Aisha.

Aisha was also a little unclear, so she didn't see the Wang Family's Guards being arrested with her own eyes, but only saw the pursuers and interceptions along the road, and listened to the conversation between Yu Youzi and them, so she believed Yu Youzi's reasoning.

At this time, when I heard that the Wang family guards had returned, I was overjoyed, didn't this mean that Shelley and her mother were fine, and she immediately stood up and ran out and said loudly: "Why don't you let them in! Take me quickly!"

Wow –

A balloon of water floating above Aisha's head smashed down, leaving the little maid to stand on her tiptoes and stay in place.

The scene that had just boiled down cooled down for a while.

The corner of Luo's eyes jumped when he had been hit by the same move, and he looked at Yu Youzi, who was still sitting in the seat and drinking tea.

"Ahem, don't worry, those are rebels. Yu Youzi's first sentence when he put down the cup made everyone gasp. After being shocked, everyone wanted to ask, but one person took the lead.

Aisha took the towel handed over by the sympathetic Rohr, and the first thing she said after wiping her face was: "Sure enough, as His Royal Highness said!

"It's not splashing water, it's making water......"

"I really hate it!" Aisha looked down at the beautiful dress that she rarely wore once, and now it was wet and wrinkled, and she suddenly felt very aggrieved, and turned around and roared at Yu Youzi: "I still don't admit that I am the big demon king, it's too bad, too bad, too evil!!"

While comforting her, Rohr pushed her towards the guest room building, telling her to change her clothes first. At the same time, arrange for the domestic servant to mop the water stains off the floor.

The movement in the restaurant spread after a while among the servants of Deng Hele, and the two little maids who were in charge of entertaining Yu Youzi and Sha Pu'an, remembered the incident of Sha Pu'an's anger in the outer hall of the guest room, and instantly agreed with the evaluation of Yu Youzi's "bad personality".

On the side of the restaurant, several other people understood Yu Youzi's purpose, although the girls present did not agree with his means to achieve the goal, but they didn't say much.

Seeing that Aisha was gone and the riot had passed, as the person with the biggest position here, Ornstone patted it and led the topic to the point: "Then can you ask the royal advisor to explain why they think they are rebels?"

"There is a post on the main road, and the guards at the post should come to report in advance, instead of waiting for them to appear at the gate of the city without a message...... When I first passed by the outpost, I saw that it had stables. I've also heard that the city guard has set up checkpoints along the road at Fulton, and I think the captain of the gate guard didn't see these people and got suspicious. ”

"You mean the soldiers along the road have already been ......" Ornstone turned to look at the messenger, "Is there a communication at the outpost, at the checkpoint?"

"There was no news from outside the city. ”

Everyone looked at each other, except for Yu Youzi, who was chewing the seeds brewed in the tea, but his heart was not calm: I didn't expect the rebels to attack the city directly, and it was impossible and unnecessary for them to make such a dangerous move with important hostages, it seems that my guess about their four actions should be all wrong, there must be information that I don't know, so my analysis is biased!

Thinking clearly, knowing that Yu Youzi's analysis is true, there are so many outposts, checkpoints, and specially sent reconnaissance teams outside the city, and when no news comes back, a troop appeared at the gate of his house, and there is no luck left, and the other party is definitely a rebel army who has been cleaned up all the way.

Ornstone said to the messenger, "Take my handwritten letter and let the guards at the head of the city open fire at once, and the city defense artillery fire at once...... Then go to the barracks and find Fulton, and let them march their whole army to the southern gate. Turning his head to look at Deng Hele: "You go and report the situation here to the royal council, and then let's go......" When he said the latter sentence, his eyes swept over Yicheni and Yu Youzi, and then he took out a pen and paper from his bosom and wrote a handwritten letter to the messenger, and bowed and left quickly.

Due to the importance of the communication volume of the Kingdom Council, the liaison officer was required to carry it with him, and now the communication volume between Muli Mucheng and the Kingdom Council is in the study building of the Dunheledulo complex, and she said to Yu Youzi, who finally stood up: "After I finish writing the communication, I will take everyone to the limestone town next door to take refuge, I don't know what your plans are." ”

When she was talking about Rohr, she was referring to the domestic servants.

Yu Youzi: "I'll wait for Aisha to come out, and I'll go find another little girl running around...... What about you?"

Yieni, who was asked, didn't think about it and said, "I'm going to go back to the merchant hall first, and I'll leave here first." ”

In this way, a luncheon was over, but a feast of war had just begun.
