565 hand over the recipe
"Lord of Watt?" Old Peter smiled and said, "Don, do you know? The previous lord of the city had four sons. But the position of the lord of the city can only be inherited by the eldest son, and even his favorite youngest son has no way to inherit his title and the position of the lord of the city. ”
As soon as he said this, Tang Ping immediately understood that this foreigner's wealthy family also had the problem of competing for family property.
Obviously, there is a son who is not convinced by this boss, and then secretly raises a group of pirates to do things.
"Well, the food was great today, and the wine was very good." Old Peter wiped his mouth and stood up and said goodbye, "Don, to be honest, I liked you the first time I saw you. ”
Seeing Tang Ping's eyes widen, Old Peter hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, don't get me wrong, it's not that kind of like, I like women, I have three wives, hahaha." ”
"What I like is that I think we can be very good friends, so I'm going to tell you so much today, but I've been busy with business lately, and I may not be able to come to your wonderful bar for a while."
"I'm sure you'll have something to be busy with too, so let's make an appointment when you're done, and then we can talk about business or something."
Who said foreigners are implicit? Old Peter, thousands of years ago, knew how to speak around the corner.
What he means is that I can't give you any other help, if you can solve this big problem now, then we can continue to talk about the business later, but if it can't be solved, Tang Ping and they probably won't have a chance to appear at the Watt City dock.
After sending Old Peter away, Tang Ping invited Alaric to tell him all the news he got from Old Peter and asked, "Uncle Alaric, this is the situation now, do you know anything about the younger brother of the current city lord?" ”
"Is the current city lord's younger brother?" Alaric frowned: "There is a manor outside the city that is indeed inhabited by William Jr., the younger brother of the city lord of Watt City, but he is usually quite mysterious, and there is not much news about him. ”
"That's it!" Tang Ping was a little helpless, now it is the news is not equal, and there is too little information he can know here.
"Uncle Alaric has any ideas?"
Alaric thought for a moment and said, "So now William Jr. wants our wine recipe, so let's give it out." ”
"Give it out?" Tang Ping was stunned, he didn't expect Alaric to be so straightforward.
In fact, he also thought so, after all, this recipe may be a little precious to the people here, but it is nothing to him.
There are more mature winemaking processes and equipment in Datang, which is a local method to put it bluntly.
Even if it was given, he wouldn't be too sorry.
But for Alaric, it's a good thing to make money.
"Yes, Don, I know this recipe is yours, and I'm sorry to say that, but please listen to me."
Alaric said with some apologies: "Now that we are being targeted by William Jr., not to mention his own identity and strength, if the Black Cat Pirate Group comes directly to the docks, it will be difficult for us to resist." ”
"I know that your warriors can fight against ten, but there are many Black Cat Pirates, and you came to us by accident and helped us, so I hope you can return home safely. If only you knew the recipe, I would advise you to leave. ”
"But generously, you taught the formula to everyone, you know, there are still a lot of young and old at the dock, little William must be staring at us, we can't leave even if we want to, so it's better to hand over the formula directly to the city lord than this."
"Wait, City Lord?" Tang Ping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I thought you were going to give the recipe to Little William." ”
"Huh." Alaric sneered: "This little William has already used such a trick, wouldn't it be as he wished if we handed over this formula to him?" ”
"Then if Tang brings out good things again, won't he come to the door again to ask for it? So we have to give it to the city lord, so that not only can he not get what he wants, but also get a favor from the city lord and let him have some scruples. Tang Ping looked at Alaric in surprise, this person was really not simple, and he actually came up with an idea of drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle so quickly.
This also coincided with his thoughts, and he began to plan to hand it over, and he also planned to hand it over to the city lord.
This is what makes William Jr. a bogeyman.
If the city lord can't keep them, then who will dare to give him good things in the future?
Isn't it anyone's thing that William can snatch directly?
Then he, the city lord, is probably the end.
"Uncle Alaric, just do as you say, let's go into the city and give the recipe to the city lord."
"You agree?" Alaric looked at Tang Ping with some disbelief, after all, in his opinion, this recipe was quite a precious thing, otherwise those churches would not have been able to keep it in their hands.
"Of course, just like you said, we don't want to have a conflict with William Jr. now, but we don't want him to get his wish, so let's just hand over the things to the city lord."
Tang Ping went to his bedroom on his cruise ship to find a pen and paper, and handed the pen to Alaric: "Uncle Alaric, do you remember the steps and precautions?" Write it down with this. ”
He has black technology headphones to hear their language, but he can't write.
Alaric was the only one of the residents of the docks who could write, and the name of his Basque bar was written by Alarric.
Yes, the literacy rate in Europe during this period was lower than that of the Tang Dynasty in the East.
In medieval Europe, every book had to be copied slowly on parchment, which was extremely expensive.
It took 300 sheepskins and 15 months to copy a Bible. A Mass can be exchanged for a vineyard.
In all of Europe, only the clergy and a small number of people were literate, and many nobles probably did not know their own writing.
So this can also see that Alaric's origin is definitely not so simple.
Alaric looked curiously at the pen that Tang Ping handed him, which was similar to a quill pen.
As for that piece of paper, it must have never been seen, after all, papermaking was introduced to Europe in the twelfth century.
Touching the snow-white paper, Alaric buried himself in writing.
The process of making wine in this local way is not complicated, but there are a few details that need attention, which Alaric has carefully written on it.
After writing it, he showed it to Tang Ping, who took it and looked at it, well, he didn't know a word.
This is supposed to be the Latin script used, but the Latin script of this era is very different from that of later generations.
