Chapter 15 Barbecue and Feud
"Oops, there is no salt in the wilderness, and it basically has nothing to do with deliciousness, and my eyes are purring,
"Grandpa Leo, do you have any salt or spices?" Romeo shouted at Grandpa Leo in midair.
Grandpa Leo was almost so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, which Sanctuary Demon Swordsman would carry salt and spices with him, and he was not a cook, this child must be used to eating fine clothes and jade, and he was not used to eating simple cooking food.
Grandpa Leo carefully recalled that when the Great Swordsman of Dillon competed with him a hundred years ago, he lost some oriental spices and porcelain to himself. It seems that it is still stored in the space ring by itself.
Eastern porcelain, spices, tea, and silk were very popular and precious luxuries among the imperial families of the Western continent, and they were worth as much as a piece of refined magical equipment.
"Kids. This is the spice of the East, and gold is precious. Grandpa Leo pulled out a small bag wrapped in silk from the corner of the space ring and dropped it from above.
Romeo opened it and saw that it was cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, pepper, cumin. There was also a delicate blue and white porcelain bowl, which was fluttered, and the familiar fragrance almost made his tears flow.
Romeo's eyes were red, and he used the condensed fighting energy in his hand to shake all these spices into a sieve, Romeo's throat itched, and the pungent smell looked up and sneezed into the sky.
Romeo then cleaned the pork leg again, grinding his fingers lightly, and the fragrant fine powder was evenly sprinkled on the pork leg, and Grandpa Leo touched the hem of his beard and looked at him with a smile.
In a few moments, a simple fruitwood stand was quickly erected, a whole piece of cured pork leg was set up on the wooden stand, and high wood firewood was piled down below, Romeo opened his bow left and right, and two small fireballs in his hand formed with the soft chanting of the incantation, and threw them into the firewood at the same time.
Romeo swallowed his saliva, and the hot oil droplets dripped into the porcelain bowl, and when it was too dry, he dipped the leaves in the oil and took the trouble to brush them again.
The surface began to turn slightly yellow, the pure aroma of meat overflowed the whole valley, and the sound of barbecued meat was pleasant, like beautiful music, and the aroma of meat penetrated into his nostrils, making his eyes sparkle brightly, and he was looking forward to it even more.
The pork leg swelled and exploded as the fireworks sparkled from the flames. A rich aroma of meat mixed with the unique spicy notes of oriental spices comes to the nose and is mouth-watering.
Grandpa Leo, who was suspended in the air, smelled this strong fragrance, opened his closed eyes, and stared intently at the tumbling roast meat, the pork leg was fat and thin, and the fat had been completely roasted, leaving only the tender burnt and lean meat.
The large, oily, golden, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fragrant roasted pork leg quietly lies in the wooden frame, and the roast pork leg seems to have an invisible magic at this time, attracting the coveted eyes of Grandpa Leo and Romeo.
"It should be almost ready to go. Romeo poked it with his steel sword, and the puff pastry on the outside peeled off, revealing the juicy flesh inside. Romeo cut off a large piece of meat, put it in a blue and white porcelain bowl, and respectfully handed it to Grandpa Leo, "Grandpa Leo, try my handiwork." “
Grandpa Leo didn't care about the demeanor of the Sword Saint at this time, so he tasted it directly, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "It's really good, it's completely comparable to those imperial court meals, it's the first time I've eaten such a fragrant barbecue, at a young age, who taught you this craft?"
Romeo smiled embarrassedly, he naturally couldn't tell Grandpa Leo the truth, because he had no mother since he was a child, and his father was busy with work and neglected to take care of him. I started cooking when I was 10 years old.
"When I was younger, I liked to stay in the kitchen and watch Chef Daryl cook food. ”
"Yes", this kid is really smart, and he can do everything without a teacher. Romeo and Grandpa Leo couldn't help but snap their fingers, "Delicious!", "Bah, haw, haw" kept chewing, and soon wiped out the golden roast pork leg.
After eating, Grandpa Leo chatted with Romeo with Yan Yuese, and his eyes couldn't hide the love in his eyes.
I've heard your father mention that you like Capulet girls, don't you?" Grandpa Leo laughed.
"No······ Romeo was amazed at Grandpa Leo's strange brain circuit, and brought it up for no reason.
"I have seen Juliet, this child, not only has a high talent for magic, a pure soul, but also a beautiful embryo, even more beautiful than your mother when she was young, the only pity is that her surname is Capulet. “
"Grandpa Leo, why do the Montague and Capulet families hate each other?" Romeo wondered.
"Hatred? That's a blood feud for several lifetimes, it can be regarded as a deep feud in the sea of blood, and it doesn't share the sky. “
Grandpa Leo's gaze became deep and misty, as if through Romeo's body, through everything in front of him, and back to the distant and dusty past.
Grandpa Leo shook his head and smiled wryly, "You don't know yet, kid. The two families, who have hated each other for generations, were best friends in the beginning.
Will Montagu, your great-grandfather, and the Capulet family, and I, Leo, the three of us grew up together, practiced swords together, were brothers and sisters, and were known as the Three Musketeers of Verona, and we lived a carefree and unrestrained life at that time. Everywhere chivalrous and righteous, happy life.
However, since your grandfather's father, the first generation of the Montague family, was only a country gentry, life was stretched. Your grandfather had to give up his life as a ranger and instead began to earn a living in various ways.
In order to support his family, your grandfather had to enlist as a crew member shortly after his marriage, and the object of the recruitment happened to be the fleet of the Capulet family. Although it was said to be a regular fleet, the commodity trade at that time was not developed, the products that could be transported were limited, and it was not possible to make much money on a hard voyage.
The cost of maintaining a fleet is staggeringly high, and it quickly becomes impossible to make ends meet. So he secretly did the pirate business.
Once, when they were out to sea, they happened to encounter a royal fleet loaded with countless jewels, gold coins, and precious magic materials, and simply crashed into the royal transport, at that time, the Capulet family enshrined a great magician, and a few high-level magicians killed everyone in the fleet.
But this is only the beginning of the crime, because the Capulet family is plundering the royal fleet, lest the sailors below are not strict and will reveal secrets and get into trouble.
So he ordered the slaughter of all the sailors in the fleet who did not have the surname Caplet, although your grandfather's sword skills were high, after all, he could not withstand the high-level magic of the great magician, and unfortunately died, and his body was thrown into the vast sea.
I later learned that that person was also on that ship at that time, and with his position in the family, he could have saved your grandfather, but for some reason, he didn't speak, and watched his former friend being killed. “
Grandpa Leo's face has become a little distorted, since this guy is ruthless, I don't have to worry about brotherhood, I want to make his people pay for their blood debts. ”
"After I learned the cause of Will's death, I have been practicing my sword skills desperately, trying to seek revenge on the Capulet family. But I didn't expect that your grandfather's newly married wife would have a posthumous child in her belly, that is, your grandfather.
And since he was a child, he has shown extraordinary spiritual strength and elemental affinity, so I sent him to the best magic academy to train him to become a magician.
Out of his protection, I never told him the cause of his father's death. Instead, he chose to break through the ninth-level swordsman and go alone to seek revenge on the Capulet family.
At that time, the Capulet family had accumulated an astonishing fortune due to the bloody business of pirates, and the family had a profound heritage, not only enshrined five high-level magicians, three great magicians, one great magician, and there were hundreds of eighth-level swordsmen and warriors.
