Chapter Ninety-Seven: Charando's Knot (I)

After that, the aftermath has nothing to do with Luo Ming.

Whether it's the corpses of the war dead, or the non-combatants in the castle who have been slaughtered as sacrifices to maintain the realm, the locals are all in charge of it.

But there was only one thing that those knights couldn't handle, and that was the banquet to celebrate the achievement.

This kind of thing is generally handled by a professional housekeeper, from the table and chair placement to the decoration to the dishes, etc., there are many details to pay attention to, which is the knowledge that ordinary people need to learn for a month.

But the old butler's name had already appeared on the list of blood sacrifice victims.

Of course, everyone had to praise the old man for his devotion to his duties until the end, but they also had to face a serious problem: it was very difficult to organize a large scene such as a celebration banquet.

In fact, Sherlock can also do this so-so, she has been to the royal capital to study for a period of time before, has seen big scenes, and has been carefully trained by the baron, and there is no shortage of administrative ability.

However, she was yawning now, and she looked very tired.

It's no wonder that I was in a hurry for the past few days, and I couldn't get a good rest last night. I had a tense nerves for such a long time during the day today, and once I relaxed, I was about to fall asleep.

Luo Ming can certainly use Cang Yan to replenish her physical strength, but this practice is actually not beneficial. Luo Ming's own physique is incomparably compatible with Cang Yan, but it doesn't mean that others can do it too.

It's a three-point poison, and this matter is similar, and the continuous injection of Cangyan actually has some damage to Sherlock's body. It was impossible to do it last night, and if you do it now, it will be irresponsible.

Even if she didn't know about it herself, Luo Ming herself couldn't pass the threshold of her own conscience—he couldn't hurt people in such an inconsequential matter, and he couldn't say with a clear conscience, "It's a small sacrifice for a greater purpose."

Besides, he is a swordsman, and he wants to be a noble lord. It's okay to do it once or twice once in a while, treating other people's injuries and restoring physical strength every day will only make yourself looked down upon.

After all, no matter how noble the healers are in the eyes of ordinary people, even the nobles respect them, but after all, they are regarded as "people who serve others", which is expelled from the real high society.

The Victorian era in England in Pride and Prejudice is a more extreme example: the aristocracy believed that the "superior people" should not be productive, and lived a life where they could do nothing and be clothed and eat to open their mouths. Even officers and lawyers, because they have to work for a salary, are considered second-class people.

Since Sherlock had to get some rest, then only Login was left.

Originally, as a vassal, he had the obligation to entertain his own vassals - some vassals were stingy, and they ran to the vassal's house with all their subordinates every day to eat, but they were disgusted by the vassals, and finally signed a treaty of "only four times in a year, and more times will be charged", this kind of thing is also common.

Therefore, simply helping the lord prepare a banquet will not damage Luo Ming's reputation, which is completely different from putting down his body and "managing his cheap business".

For others, it may be a little difficult, but for Luo Ming today, it is completely fine.

First of all, he was born in a big foodie empire, and he knows a little bit about cooking. Even if the banquet itself is a little less manageable, there are some delicious new dishes that are more than enough to offset this dissatisfaction.

Of course, this time it will not be a personal cook, but a verbal instruction to the chef.

Secondly, there is Aya, whose knowledge is astonishingly wide, even if she knows a little about "the emperor entertaining foreign princes or the gods feasting in the heavens".

As far as the results are concerned, the banquet was pretty good.

Although some of them are not good enough, where do these little country aristocrats know so much?

A few ingenious dishes, the unique flavor of the sauce and broth made their eyes shine. The soldiers who were fortunate enough to be rewarded, saw minced meat in their meals, and received a small glass of wine each, were even more grateful.

Drunkard peanuts, fried dried fish, vinegared cucumbers, etc. are used to serve the wine, which makes them feel that the taste of today's wine seems to have improved.

In fact, this was not an illusion - Charando, who had fled before the war, ran back and asked for a few barrels of wine from his winery to be brought in.

I can't say it's a good bar...... But there are no merchants and no traitors, even if they sell wine to the nobles, the merchants are eager to use shoddy, and even mix water into it.

The sake made by Charandor was originally made for oneself to drink, and the quality is still guaranteed, so it naturally gives people a good feeling of quality.

And Charandor himself actually knows this truth.

"You see, the climate here is not particularly suitable for the growth of grapes, and I can't afford to bring in good varieties, so the grapes used for wine are only moderate. ”

Shaking the wine glass in his hand, Charlando said a little grumblingly: "Although I have explained a little bit of the dwarven wine-making secrets, this winery is not very old, and everyone does not have much experience in winemaking, and even most of the wine in the first year was made into vinegar, and it was not until the year before last that this situation was prevented...... It's hard to improve quality. ”

How to say it, ordinary people will only complain to the people they know, but what Charandor says now is logical, and it doesn't look like he's really drunk.

Sure enough, this guy took the initiative to approach and wanted to get close to Luo Ming.

Escaping in the battle to decide the succession certainly avoided the suspicion of colluding with the cultists, but because of this, he was despised by many people and considered him a coward. And Sherlock has just led everyone to a victory, and even the great hero Luo Ming has brought from outside......

In short, Charando never had a chance to compete with Sherlock again, and he was also very self-aware, knowing that if he wanted to mix well, he had to have a good relationship with Sherlock, and even Sherlock's trusted courtiers.

The identity of his cousin is almost worthless, and in terms of the power at hand, both the land area and the personal strength are far inferior to Luo Ming.

If it were only for this reason, he might not be able to pull his face and bow to a newly sealed knight.

But Login had already cast a chip before—it felt like a long time ago, but in fact it was only half a day ago—that Charandor had to give in.

That's the piece of paper he showed to Charando when he separated his three cousins.

There are several details of the winemaking technique written on it, although it is deliberately blackened in several places, but it is absolutely recognizable at the level of Charando's obsession with winemaking for so many years.
