Chapter 6 Etiquette Lessons

Early in the morning, Al began to practice by the small pond in the yard, and when he got out of the boy camp, the intensity of the training was not so exaggerated, so that the body should not forget the skills. For breakfast, there is milk, eggs, Orete's indispensable meat, and Al's favorite seasonal vegetables. Out of the boy camp, the food outside is always not satisfied, Al is particularly hungry, in addition to each meal is full, Aunt Miranda also prepared a lot of various meat and preserved fruits that are easy to carry.

There wasn't much work in the courtyard of the three-story building, and Aunt Miranda seemed to have a lot of experience in taking care of Orette, going out early every day to buy a lot of fresh food for Al to prepare, and in her spare time she was making all kinds of pickled and smoked products with her son Ali.

After breakfast, various governesses came to teach the etiquette and culture of the Arr nobles, and these lessons were essential and compulsory for every noble child. Because Orette has been going to the boy camp since he was a child, he basically finds time to study in the evenings. Alr has already finished it, but there are some lessons that you can't learn until you're old enough to understand them. For example, after the separation, the communication with the inferior people, commoners, and adventurers who did not obtain the status of the nobility, the valuation of goods, some routines and precautions against the inferior people, the use of the rules of the aristocracy, and so on. These lessons were interesting and made Al more aware of the integration into the society. After all, living in the inner city is still a children's camp, and there is little opportunity to get in touch with these low, ordinary things.

In the afternoon, free time, Al wore plain canvas hooded shorts and straddled a backpack, dressed as an out-of-town life. Lord Boone burrows into Al's hat and follows Al around the city. Ali followed behind, he was a native of the outer city, and along the way whispered to Al to introduce various things that the young master was interested in. Shows that he has been trained by a high servant since childhood.

Al is interested in the North End trading market, which is where he has been out of town the most in years. Merchants from all over the country put their goods here, and all sorts of strange things were of interest to Arle. For example, a cracked frog stone cost Al seven silver coins. Originally, it was for fifteen silver coins, but where could the noble lord do something bargaining, Ali showed his arrogance, shrewdness, deceit, bluffing, and dog-fighting skills in front of Al for the first time. Since he was a child, he was taught how to come forward to do something inconvenient for the noble lord, and Ali was also handy at this time.

This feeling of having a bad servant in the family is really novel.

This frog stone is probably the plaything of a forest dweller, and the carving technique is natural and childlike, and it does not have much value. Al's purchase is to study and put it in his backpack, and what he is interested in will suddenly give him some unimaginable inspiration one day.

Of course, he will also find something mysterious and unknown, and the world is full of illiterates, and they don't know where to get the good things or stolen goods, they don't know what they are, and they only price them according to their condition, materials, and appearance.

After a walk, Al walked towards the mountain goods area. Al Pharma does not have a purpose, and does whatever the materials are available. Potions requires a myriad of materials, such as animal hearts, blood, crystallization of ores in caves, cold dew on a certain herb in the morning, and so on. He made pharmaceuticals just to earn money to maintain his own expenses, and he knew very well that now was not the time to devote himself to researching pharmaceuticals. And studying a thing requires concentration and a lot of materials, in the previous life, there are many scholars who were obsessed with research and destitute, he now has no source of income, maybe he will have to talk to his family in a few days, he is really not very willing to have adult thinking, and he is already cheeky when he stole his brother's money when he was a child.

I didn't go far before I saw that the location of the specially developed stall was full of people, and it was conceivable that the roving merchants or mountain hunters had caught good things. Al couldn't squeeze in, looked at the thin Ali and then at his stout body, and gave up the idea of letting him hold himself up. He took out a small piece of beef jerky from his backpack and brought it to Mr. Boone's mouth for a pleasant treat.

"Boone, are you hungry?" "Get out!

Boone knocked the beef jerky away with one paw. Al awkwardly grabbed the beef jerky that had fallen out, and Ali couldn't hear their heart-to-heart conversation. But I also think that the cold Boone is really cool. This is a mountain goods area, where mountain hunters sell their harvests, and naturally there are also fish. Alpine Ali went to buy a small fish and came back.

"Is this a meow to eat, take this wet thing!" Boone, who had never eaten raw fish, was furious, obviously dissatisfied with the cat slave's perfunctory, and scratched Al's face. "I'm going to eat the fish with honey and the milk from the Earl family's farm!" and jumped onto the roof in a huff.

"Master Thomas, Mr. Boone has a great temper. Ali snickered as he looked at Al, whose face was still scratched and light.

Al covered his right eye, and with Boone's ultra-long vision, he could see what was surrounding the crowd. It is a wide roll of neatly cut and dried animal skins, carefully studied under the complex and beautiful patterns, is a roll of python skin, open enough to be six meters long and one meter wide. Hunters of great skill.

Whether this python skin is cut into book pages, or letterhead, or even made into a magic scroll, it is a high-quality product, a symbol of status. However, Al's can't even use it, and the python gall bladder that he is interested in to make strength potions has already been bought. Al beckoned to Boone, "Let's go, Boone" "Get out, I'm going to go shopping by myself"

Al shrugged helplessly and followed Ali on. The good goods in the mountain goods area are sold too quickly, and many nobles have their own secret recipes that need the main ingredients of these potions. Al ended up buying only a bear bile that wasn't too fresh. In terms of medicinal herbs, I just bought them casually, and those herbs full of magic power were not seen here at all, and it was obviously delivered directly to the hands of large customers as soon as they were available.

After wandering around without incident, Al went back to deal with the bear bile that was not too fresh. Pharmaceutical science is not a novel to add a little bit of this drop point and that, take bear bile as an example, first of all, you need to mix the activation agent to activate the activity of bear bile, and then some need moxibustion, some need to ferment, some need to extract juice, some need to concentrate, and some need to blend. It takes a lot of time and effort, it takes a long time to make only one bottle, but the income is not enough for the expenses of this time, the master in the workshop has apprentices who can do all kinds of auxiliary processes for him, and Al is only one person, so he doesn't like to make these things very much now, which is nothing to do.

Simply before he split the family, he asked the housekeeper to collect some things for him in the name of the family and bring them over as private goods, which were not included in the proportion of the divided family's property, and a little bit of it every day could be turned into cash, enough for him to maintain for a period of time.

After dinner, it was time for the Lady of Love to teach Lady Helen, an elderly lady, but very well maintained, dignified and dignified, and still able to see the appearance of young and amorous. This course is just a matter of listening to Lady Helen's church to know what to learn, and Al is really embarrassed and unwilling to go.

"Our young master Thomas is still a little boy," Lady Helen chuckled, but pulled Al with both hands, it seemed that another strange force could not be rejected by Al, Al thought in his mind that this should be a charm spell, and the clergy of the story said that the love lady had this spell constantly.

The class is held at the Lady of Love's church, where there are many aristocratic boys and girls of appropriate age. But apparently the stubby Al is a bit out of tune with the elegant ones. Not many people came to talk to him. After the boys and girls had talked for a while, Mrs. Helen asked everyone to gather and practice talking to her as she asked. Unfortunately, Al was assigned a girl with a tall eye.

"From your figure, it can be seen that your family background is very superior, I don't know what you know what this is?What about the gift that the handsome Lucius gave me a few days ago, he and this ring are so fascinating" At the beginning, he deliberately and elegantly stroked the fire diamond ring in his hand, and praised the handsomeness of other men with a sweet look of falling in love, and Alzhen didn't know how to continue this idiot conversation. But his good cultivation forced him to learn the rules of the nobility, to be elegant and decent to ladies, and to show his demeanor in dialogue.

"If the beautiful lady can sense Mr. Lucius's heat from this ring, this should be a rare magic ring that can banish the cold for you, Mr. Lucius. "Oh, you little guy is quite knowledgeable, and your mouth is sweet," the girl glanced at Al triumphantly.

"I'm Horru, from the Spreler family. "My name is Al, Albenstock Thomas, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Here you have to talk elegantly, you have to talk elegantly, you have to taunt with your food, you have to tell your ingredients and where you come from, and in this way you show off your farm or your land or where you are a chef, and a gathering of a group of theatricians makes Al come back sweaty. Boone didn't care about Al, who smelled of sweat, and flew up to catch it.

"How dare you let the assassins murder me!" "How is that possible!" "What the hell is that cage in my house fluttering around" "Huh?" Al looked up and saw Ali chasing after him with a cage "Master Thomas, you're back"

"Don't let him come here!, throw that thing away!" Boone yelled and slipped into Al's clothes. Seeing the gray squeaky stuff in the cage clearly, Al was incredible. "It's a mouse! How can a cat be afraid of mice!" Although Al has never let Boone catch a mouse, it is simply a subversion of common sense that Boone is so fierce that Boone is afraid of mice.

"Immediately, immediately, take it away from me!"

Ali couldn't hear Boone's roar, and showed the cage to Al as if he were offering a treasure. "Young master, Mr. Boone is afraid that he has never seen a mouse, so I specially caught an off-white mouse for him to play with."

Before Al could speak, Boone was already yelling hoarsely!

"Who the hell is going to play with mice!
