009 Departs
Food is a major event in life, the famous great poet and great nobleman of the Baiting Empire, Demut once said, people are undoubtedly the masters of the earth, but also the slaves of the stomach and intestines, if there is no feast in his life, just like a long road without a hotel, under his influence, the nobles dare not slack off when they entertain guests.
In the banquet hall that can accommodate dozens of people, Randall and Eburgin sit at a table with a red napkin on it, and inferior statuses such as knights, castle officials, etc., sit at a table, and in the corner are people and soldiers.
In the first round, there were four dishes, salted rabbit meat, sauerkraut soup, stewed lamb shank, and sweet fried bread.
The second round is also a four-course, barbecue method, beef, pig, chicken and duck, each dish does not need to exceed three bites at most, expressing that the guests have not forgotten the moderation of one of the seven virtues and spurning one of the seven evils.
The third round is for offal birds, suckling pigeons, flower birds, quails, etc. There was no limit to this round, Randall used a little more and ate two pigeons.
The fourth round is soup, a tonic soup made with various vegetables, and the last round is dessert.
During the fourth round of food, a maid accidentally knocked over Ebrumin's dishes, which was a faux pas, and if such an incident happened in the city of Peon, Boni would have his subordinates locked up for three days as reparation for the guests.
"It's okay, you go down. Ebmin didn't lose his temper, but still smiled.
The food that was accepted will be distributed to the servants present, indicating the gift of the master, when a fat maid walked by Pu Yi'an's side, the big buttocks full of flesh, swayed, and was pinched hard, at first she didn't react, she stood on the spot, and then the arm grabbed it fiercely.
"Ahh She screamed, and the hot soup spilled over Weber, who was sitting next to Pu Yi'an.
"Cheap ....... Webber said in pain, almost bursting into foul language.
"My lord, I don't have a heart. "This freaks out the fat maid.
The scene became embarrassing, Ebring was a little embarrassed, looking at Randall, maintaining his own appearance is also a part of honor, if his subordinates are dissatisfied, he must explain.
"I remember that in the Salvation of the Holy Scriptures, it is mentioned that no one has to care about unintentional actions. After Randall finished speaking, Webber couldn't help it, he was not a knight, and he couldn't give the maid a few slaps in the face under the pretext of protecting his honor.
A banquet ended in a more or less perfect situation, with a total of twenty-four dishes served, plus other people's food, which cost a lot of money.
After dinner, Randall returned to his room, where more than a dozen oil lamps and candles illuminated the room, the candles were made of beeswax, which did not smell much, and a fragrance wafted through the room. Honey is precious, and the beekeepers are almost always employed by the nobles, and it is not easy for the commoners to enjoy it.
Randall stepped forward to take a closer look, and a black ash object was burning in an oil lamp, "Ambergris!"
Randall also uses this thing, and when burned, it will have a faint fragrance to refresh the mind.
This thing is the far north of the cloud dragon when sleeping, the saliva fragrance left behind, if it falls into the soil, it will not evaporate, but fuse together, has the function of stopping bleeding, the Latin people of Baiting even add it to the wine, as an aphrodisiac to use, this thing is difficult to obtain, because the cloud dragon can not be trained, even if it is caught, it will not eat or drink, after more than ten days, the body is dehydrated and dies.
Legend has it that the cloud dragon can cure all kinds of diseases, so there has always been a human race hunting, look through the history books, before the old calendar, the Gallic Kingdom is also the habitat of the cloud dragon, now the cloud dragon is almost extinct in the European continent, to be seen in the distant Russian continent.
"Ebmin was so bold with me. β
The room didn't have a cheap charcoal fire, so it didn't emit an unpleasant smell, and feeling the hospitality of the other party, Randall sat down in his chair and thought, "If I help him...... I control this territory ....... β
The location of this mountain fort is good, as long as there are more counterattack facilities such as outposts and arrow towers installed in the periphery, in the event of a war, it will take several times the number of troops to defeat it. Randall pondered.
"Your Excellency. A young woman pushed open the door, wearing only a jumpsuit, ready to bed.
"Don't take it off. Randall didn't raise his head when he heard the voice, he didn't want to touch such a woman, first, because of his humble status, second, he was afraid of getting sick, third, there were really no beauties in the countryside, and fourth, he was not in the mood now.
"Your Excellency, look up. The woman made a gasping sound, stroked her lower body, and stuck out her tongue.
Randall was given a noisy look, "The figure is too sloppy." β
Hearing this, the woman was like a defeated rooster, and reluctantly bowed her head and retreated, and the castle had been without guests for many days, and I heard that a young nobleman had come, and she had just let the butler take advantage of it so much, that she had to get to this place,
After cleaning the thick matter in her mouth, she rushed to the house, but the first glance of the audit shattered her dream of flying up the branches, but she was extremely positive, and immediately moved to another room, in front of a slightly identified, young man.
"Knock knock. β
She knocked on the door, "My lord, I heard that you are a doctor? I have a lump here, please help me treat it." β
"Hmm...... It's called hard milk, I'll help you suck it soft and you'll be fine. β
The woman hadn't closed the door just now, and she was very good at making noises, and the sound penetrated into Randall's room, upsetting Randall's noise, and Randall walked out of the door with an oil lamp, only to find that the sound was coming from all directions.
** It is the best night sports and entertainment in the castle, and people who have nothing to do are all entangled in discussing theology and communicative studies.
"...... Woo......"
There was a sound that was particularly unpleasant. Randall walked away and soon found Pu Yian, who was hanging out with a fat maid in a utility room, using doggy rubbing.
Pu Yi'an was like a beast, and the maid was like a giant pig, the two of them moved very much, beads of sweat on their bodies, the floor was trampled on, and the whole room smelled.
"When you're done, take the administrative map of the kingdom to my room. Randall walked away, slamming the door shut.
This sudden sound frightened Pu Yi'an, who was at the last moment, and his weapon was weak, and finally he used the medicine of the pulling method to regain his strength, and after venting all his strength, he approached the soft feet, and the fat maid was also like a dead fish, motionless, showing a smile like a spring breeze.
When Pu Yi Ann arrived in Randall's room, the castle bell rang for the time, and it had been two hours since he had spoken.
"I can't see it, you're very powerful, I'm thankful for all the flowers I've been waiting for. "Randall is writing letters.
"Give. Pu Yi'an didn't answer, and took a chair and sat down.
"Young master, what do you want a map for?" Pu Yi Andao.
"How did this piece break?" Randall pointed to the gap on the map to the west of Gaya County.
"I'll see...... It was the domain of Baron Biru, whom I had passed once before, and he was the son-in-law of the Norman Grand Duke. "Pu Yi'an is forty years old, and he has been to many places with the Marquis Boni, and his biggest dream is to have a castle, so every time he goes to a new place, he is very interested in the family history of the local lord, and even memorizes it.
Randall suddenly thought of something and looked at the map again.
Not only the territory of Ebor Mingdi, but also the entire territory of the Duke of Plley has been encircled by the royal domain, and the plain area of the gap is just close to the tributary of the Seine-et-Marne River, and the goods can be sold by ship to the northern British region, but they were taken away by the Norman Archduke, and just looking at the map, the Norman Archduke's territory is too far from this enclave.
"What does that careerist want to do with this place?" Randall felt that there was something wrong with this, and he couldn't say it.
------------------
The rain subsided during the night, and the next morning, however, there was a great deal of relief, which made Randall stay at the castle for another day, and as he said goodbye, Randall took a letter to Ebourmin, which was the property of the Adolf family in the royal capital, and could borrow some money to help him cope for a while.
"We met when we were strange, and we broke up after we became familiar, and I hope this friendship will last forever, my friend. β
After hugging and saying goodbye to Eborgin, Randall continued on his way, but the heavy rain for several days made it difficult to move forward on the road and he did not walk fast.
Randall changed course and took the KΓΆnig's Road, after which the main roads up and down Gaul were named, but it would lead to the bustling areas of various places.
With the extension of the stone road, the crowds gradually increased, first around the road, there were some small inns and houses along the road, and then more and more dense, forming a small business district.
After they appeared, all the convoys on the road retreated and let them go straight unimpeded.
Many knights, rich and poor, have been bandits.
"What a handsome horse, and that chain armor, it's perfect. β
"I don't know which noble family it is, so arrogant. β
"That handsome knight is looking at me!"
In full view of everyone, they walked out of the business district, and after a little bit of progress, a towering city wall for several miles blocked the way, the water level of the moat was high, and it was covered with dung, and the stench was incomparable.
"How did I get there?" Randall Dow.
A soldier caught a passer-by who was about to enter the city, and after inquiring clearly, he came back and said, "Young lord, only the lord and the king can go in the middle, and the travelers must enter through the left gate, and those who evade the fare will be fined ten times the rent, and the right side is the special entrance for the nobles, but it is temporarily closed, and each person receives a copper coin for his head, and the livestock above two legs are weighed." β
"How do you scale?"
"Every 100 catties of meat starts with a copper coin. β
The currency of the Gallic Kingdom is mainly copper, silver, and gold, all of which are in a ratio of ten to one, and there is also a small coin called half copper coin, which is also ten and a half copper to one copper.
"This is not much different from the Ming robbery, so it is no wonder that I heard that the economy of Pulie Province has plummeted. Randall looked at the soldiers defending the city, all of them with yellow and thin faces, and took off their military uniforms, like beggars.
When they reached the entrance to the left gate, the soldiers told him to dismount, Randall was unheard, and Pu Yi'an showed a golden noble token, with swords intertwined, arching the golden lion on it.
Knowing that this was a nobleman, the soldier stopped interrogating him and prepared to let him go.
"Mess around, who let you go. "An inspector dressed in green, appeared out of thin air.
