Chapter 788: Noon While Eating (Part I)
"It's all uncertain, aren't you too pessimistic?" Helo's wolf ears twitched a few times under her hat, and she shook her hat several times, "But...... Judging by all the things we've seen in the last few months, it seems like you're the richest of all the people in Gensokyo we've ever known, right?"
"The richest? Hah, that's a bit of. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Feng Longde snorted with his nose, "Although the Teutonic camp has traded with the human world in the past two years and accumulated a lot of wealth, if you only talk about my personal property...... It's a pity.,I'm afraid that the vampire loli owner of the Red Devil Pavilion a little further north is richer than me.,My personal property is so little.,And a lot of it is too lazy to spend it.,It's basically a poor mentality......"
"We've heard one of your friends, Weiske, say that it seems that the entire Teutonic camp and even all your subordinates and subjects are your personal property, according to the Teutonic law, right? Harrow said with a grin, his tone sounding referential.
"According to the provisions of the Teutonic law, it is true that the entire Teutonic camp and all the Teutonic subjects are my private property, or the private property of the 'undead king'. Feng Longde sighed, "But don't think of me as some kind of brutal noble lord who really treats people as cattle or tools, although many times I have to treat my subordinates and lords as cold data to calculate the gains and losses...... But they are all human beings, or all intelligent beings who are self-aware and know how to think on their own, so I don't think of them as human beings at all, and I feel that I can't do that to that extent, so it's private property or something...... Nominally, this is true, but in fact, even if I do, I am not interested, and it is estimated that the immortal kings of the past dynasties are not interested either, otherwise the Teutonic Empire at that time would not have dominated the entire world and even existed for a long time, and it had long been overthrown by the bitter and bitter masses of all classes......"
"Poof...... It's still a serious response to jokes, and you sometimes have no sense of humor. After listening to Feng Longde's serious answer, Heluo sneered and laughed, under the cover of the hat, Feng Longde could only see the lower half of her face and couldn't see her eyes, "You'd better let go a little, otherwise if you're always so serious, you won't please the girl~"
"I'm sorry. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, he was usually very open when he was with Weisk and the others, even if he was drinking with Zhu Henghong or other soldiers of the Teutonic Army, he was quite open, but when he came into contact with the girls, he was more serious and serious, no matter how long they had been together...... Of course, except for Lilia's Russian female man, Feng Longde almost didn't treat her as a girl, at most he paid a little attention, but he was right when it was time to lose......
"Don't always wear a tarot face, Feng Longde, although your expression matches the clothes on your body very well. Heluo quickened his pace and walked to Feng Longde's left side, and patted Feng Longde on the back with his right hand, "Now that the street is so lively and cheerful, you should also respond to the occasion, right?"
“...... That's right. After a few seconds of silence, Feng Longde grinned widely.
“...... Forget it, why don't you keep that tarot face, you look like you laugh when you were in our original form, but it's even more terrifying, like a wolf. ”
“...... You go ......."
☆
Looking at the street scene along the way, not knowing whether to talk or gossip, Feng Longde and Heluo soon came to the door of the tavern.
"The tavern owner here seems to have gotten better and better in the past two years, and the decoration and decoration in the tavern are better than at the beginning of this month. Pushing the door and walking in, looking at the brand-new murals and various small decorations on the wall, Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, "Moreover, the passenger flow is not low, it is estimated that we will be five minutes late, and we will not be able to find a seat." ”
"Is Christmas really a big festival here?" Seeing the table full of drinkers, drinking ale, eating all kinds of food, chatting with his companions, Heluo asked Feng Longde curiously, this is the first time she has seen a festival in this place, there are so many people, and they are all in time for the autumn harvest celebration," Although we have spent hundreds of years in the wheat fields of Paslo Village, we have seen many grand festivals when we traveled around in the form of human maidens, such as winter festivals and large fairs held in many human cities. But ......"
With that, Harrow swept around the first floor of the tavern, which was overcrowded.
"Even during the winter festival, there are probably not so many drinkers, and most of them are ordinary local residents, not soldiers and knights under your command. ”
"Probably, except for the Teutonic soldiers who came home to join their families, who drank here and scraped my men, they were basically single men and women or families. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders, less than one-sixth of the drinkers in the tavern were Teutonic soldiers from the current point of view, and the vast majority of the others were local human residents wearing ordinary clothes, but there were many men who looked familiar, and if you looked closely, you could find that it was a soldier or a grassroots commander in a certain Teutonic army, obviously a Teutonian soldier who had changed his armor and put on civilian clothes, and was having dinner with his family and relatives at this moment," There are not many restaurants and inns in the world, and there is only one tavern, and the result is that on weekends or festivals, it will be overcrowded here, and I don't know if the tavern owner plans to expand, otherwise sooner or later, the first floor will be crowded with more and more drinkers who want to come in to drink and eat at the same time......"
"The better the sound of places such as inns and taverns, the higher the standard of living of the local population, knowing that only the rich have the time and money to spend frequently in such places, and the poor can have enough to eat and spend money here. Heluo waved her hand and said, she had traveled from south to north for a long time, and there were all kinds of messy books in Feng Longde's bookcase, some of which she had read about commerce and trade, so she knew a lot about this, "The Teutonic camp you have in your hands has a prosperous trade with this city." ”
"The development of the Teutonic camp required the help of the native human population, so it was only natural to engage in large-scale bilateral trade and to hire all kinds of manpower, such as workers and craftsmen, with high salaries, and to recruit suitable soldiers. Feng Longde spread out his hands and made a noncommittal motion, and then quickly found a round table against the wall, "Find a place to sit down first, there are so many people today, I'm afraid we will have to go up to the second floor after a while......"
Pulling a chair and sitting down at the round table against the wall with Heluo, Feng Longde quickly beckoned a passing maid, ordered a lot of food and ale, and then gave a few coins to settle the bill in advance so that they could bring the food and wine as soon as possible, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Now the tavern is basically crowded with drinkers, and finally a few have gone out, and in less than half a minute, someone came in from outside to fill the vacant places, so that the maids here hardly have to stop and rest for a while, not to mention when they and Helo really have to wait for the food and drinks to come slowly, so they can only rely on the way of early payment to eat as quickly as possible.
"It's good if it's autumn, when the lake fish is the most delicious, and we often order grilled fish and stewed fish in this tavern in the autumn here, and your chefs sometimes make some dishes with fish or river fresh. Lying her entire upper body on the table, Harrow said with a sigh of relief.
The reason why Heluo looked a little listless like this was not that she was tired, but that she saw so many drinkers gathered around to drink and eat Kanshan, and the movement was a little too noisy, so she would be a little uncomfortable, and naturally she would be a little tired on the mental level.
"However, it is winter now, and there are almost no fresh fish, unless someone dares to fish alone in the cold river and snow, otherwise there will only be salted fish and frozen fish in this season. Feng Longde rubbed the back of his neck and replied, the movement in the tavern today was far more noisy than usual, which made him feel a little headache, but this was nothing compared to the need to deal with a large number of soul communication reports in the soul heart when he was working, at most his ears would be a little buzzing, "But in this season, it is better to eat pork, beef and mutton in various ways, and it tastes really good with malt wine or beer, if it is not true...... Why don't I order two glasses of vodka or whiskey? Although the vodka here is not too strong compared to my own inventory, it is really warm to take half a bottle on this cold day, but it is prone to some undesirable side effects......"
"Okay, you can help us order two glasses of vodka!" Hearing Feng Longde's suggestion, Heluo immediately nodded and agreed, this cute wolf girl not only likes to eat all kinds of food, but also likes good wine, especially the one that is strong enough is the most popular with her, "Do you want to drink two glasses of spirits too?"
"I'll forget it, I'm used to making sure I don't drink too much to drink, because I personally have a psychological shadow about it. Feng Longde hurriedly shook his head and refused, he still hadn't gotten rid of the influence of drinking high at the banquet at the Boli Shrine last year and turning into a naked running reimu, which could be regarded as drinking in moderation in disguise......
"Are you still struggling with the past?" Looking at Feng Longde's expression with black lines, Heluo smiled, she also knew Feng Longde's camouflage ability and the general history of the moth incident, after all, she usually flipped through Feng Longde's "Wenwen News" and "Huaguozi Nianbao" stored in the bookcase, and naturally knew what Feng Longde's psychological shadow was, "It's just a little drink or two cups!
“...... Well, it's just two glasses, and it's whiskey, and it's better to drink vodka these days, but to be on the safe side, I'd better drink a low-intensity whiskey. Feng Longde grinned, he himself is not good at drinking, but he also likes to drink a little appetizing or refreshing, but he is just disgusted with pure alcoholism, as long as the amount is controlled, he will also drink.
"Please bring us two more glasses of whiskey!" Seeing Feng Longde nodding his head and agreeing, Hero hurriedly called a maid to add.
"That's right!" Just as Feng Longde sat in his seat and watched him start preparing to travel out of the world again, Heluo suddenly spoke, "There are two more maids in your headquarters fort who are dressed differently from the other servants? and they seem to be a pair of sisters? and...... Huh, doesn't it look like a human being?"
"Observant enough. Yes, they're not humans, they're ghosts, and they are sisters. Feng Longde shrugged his shoulders and replied, Now Rem and Ram have been working as maids in the headquarters fort for several days, and Helo has rarely gone out during this time but has nested in the headquarters fort, which is a strange thing that they have not met," They were rescued during the last battle.,After they recovered, they chose to live as maids in the headquarters fort.,I'm responsible for paying them the proper salary and providing shelter.,And Caroline will also regularly replenish the magic of Ram, who can't meditate on his own.,So they live in the headquarters fort.,It's just a maid.。 ”
"Is that so......" Helo said with a smirk, her two glasses of vodka had been served, and one had been drained, making her face a little crimson now, "I always think that you like some non-human women......
“...... I don't have any particular interest in other people, and I don't really have a favorite girl at the moment, at least for now. After being silent for a few seconds, Feng Longde also picked up a glass of malt wine in front of his desktop and poured it down, "I'm a lolita, not a beast ear or a human outside, and sometimes...... I doubt I'm actually asexual, anyway, compared to ordinary people, my behavior in this regard has always been quite abnormal, anyway, I don't like the same sex......"
After Feng Longde finished speaking, the expression on Heluo's face seemed to be a little disappointed, but it quickly turned into a fox-like sly smile.
"So...... Do you like that kind of weak opposite sex?" asked with a smile as Feng Longde had just poured down his second glass of ale and was about to start with the roast pork chops served by the maid, causing the former to stop his preparations to shake off his cheeks and start eating.
