Chapter 55: An Unexpected Dinner
After a day of practicing the big sword, Stannis returned to the castle exhausted, and sure enough, for a pure otaku like him, the first time to practice such a large amount of sword was really unbearable.
The knight commander who had been following him on the way didn't know when he disappeared, but he couldn't care about it so much.
As soon as he returned to the castle, he couldn't wait for Cook to prepare food for him, but remembered that he had sent him out with a cook's helper to generate income, and there was no one in the castle anymore......
So the lord dragged his hungry body to the kitchen, to see what food scraps were left, and now he was hungry enough to gnaw away stones, such as stone-shaped black bread.
As soon as he entered the kitchen, he found a man lying there.
It's Robert, who also looks like he's starving.
Hearing someone come in, the guy lying on the table looked up weakly.
"It's the boss. Robert said disappointedly.
"Are you waiting for Cook too?" Stannis found a seat and sat down.
"Well, that guy has forgotten his job of selling food now, I really don't know why he was let out, and we have to settle dinner ourselves, it's too much!" Although he was clearly scolding the chef, he was actually teasing Stannis behind him.
However, the lord was too tired to quarrel with him, "If you make money, you should have such enthusiasm." ”
"Gollum~~" Robert didn't speak, responding with his stomach.
"By the way, how about collecting money at the mill today?" Stannis remembered this important thing again, and every night before, Master Romon would punctually hand over the royalties he had received during the day, and then he counted them and deposited them in the vault.
Robert straightened up with difficulty, untied a small cloth bag from his belt and threw it on the table, "No, this is the money I received today." ”
"Why is that!" Although he didn't count, he could tell with his eyes that his income was at least half less than usual today, it couldn't be that this kid was corrupt, right?
Facing his suspicious gaze, Robert hurriedly waved his hand to discern himself, "Boss, I am innocent, and there is a reason for this today!"
"What's wrong?" he asked curiously.
"It was fine in the morning, but in the afternoon, two groups of people brought a lot of grain to grind the noodles, one from the village of Jelenbo in the east and the other from the village of Shigatse in the west. Then somehow, they began to scold each other, scolding and scolding, and they fought, boss, didn't you see the scene at that time, dozens of people were beating each other over there, and the scene was called a spectacular. ”
I didn't expect there to be regional contradictions in the big fart here, "So what's next?" he asked.
So I hurriedly closed the mill and went to persuade the fight, and after stopping this and that, I tossed around all afternoon, and was beaten on the head, and finally I got them all back in a coaxing and frightened way. Stannis touched the back of his head in distress, and now there was a large bulge there.
"Hey, didn't you think you were quite interested in doing this?" Stannis's understanding of him, he thought that when the two gangs first broke up, the carrot would flee back to the castle.
"Of course," said Robert, weakly, "after all, all I need to live now depends on it?" ”
Stannis agreed, "Yes, good, good job, I'll add a chicken leg to dinner." ”
"Gollum~~" As soon as he heard the chicken legs, Stannis's stomach roared angrily.
"Anyway, where did the old man go?" Ever since he gave Lady Romon a holiday yesterday, he hadn't seen anyone for a whole day, and he was the only one in the castle who could cook something to eat except for the two cooks, but where could he go?
Robert rubbed his stomach and gave him a strange look, "Isn't this knowingly asking, you gave him a vacation, where else can he go except to see his granddaughter?"
"Granddaughter, the old man has a granddaughter?" Stannis was instantly interested, because in his memory, Lady Lomon's son and daughter-in-law had all died of the plague three years earlier, and he couldn't remember what relatives the old man had.
"That's right, after his son's family died, the old man went back to his hometown to pick up the only surviving granddaughter, and lived in our castle for a month or two, boss, you should have met her a few times, how could you forget?"
Because there was no girl's name as a keyword, his brain encyclopedia was difficult to search.
"It doesn't matter," he waved his hand to cover his past, "and where is his granddaughter now, and he has to go on a day to see her?"
Robert touched his chin and thought about it seriously, "I remember that I was sent to the school city by the old man to let her study to become a bachelor." I heard that she is now a very beautiful big girl, plus Xuecheng you know, all of them are suffocated nerds, and the people who chase her go down to the diaper to fast forward to the grave, which is really boundless and endless. ”
"Can a woman be a bachelor?" Stannis wondered.
"Of course you can, but it seems that it is much more difficult for women to enter the school city than men, so the ratio is almost one hundred to one. ”
Oh, so it's easy to understand why there are so many people chasing her.
When he wanted to ask where the school city was, Robert was already impatient, "Oh, boss, aren't you hungry when you talk so much!
Stannis thought about it, "Then let's go to Cook's stall and see if there's anything else to eat." ”
With that, he stood up, but Robert was reluctant, for it meant walking five or six hundred meters, and he was now too hungry to take a step.
"Besides, when have we ever eaten someone else's leftovers, boss, you have changed, how can the days when we used to be glamorous, extravagant, and reckless are gone! Robert finally looked a little suspicious of Stennis after his vital interests had been compromised.
Stannis's heart was pounding, and his mind was quickly thinking about what to do, "That's because I'm enlightened! ”
Robert apparently didn't believe his lies, and the cunning fellow wandered back and forth on Stannis with a gaze that was almost suspicious and disgusted at one point.
The traverser was furious by his eyes.
Just then, a familiar sweet voice rang out from outside the kitchen door, rescuing him from his predicament.
"Excuse me, is anyone in there?"
It was Luga's voice.
