October 15, Mosk.

Time flies in the busyness, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, these days, Ma Wei handed over the affairs of the church to Christopher and Sarina to deal with, and he and Eunia, Levine and Daniel nestled in the conference room all day long, chatting in the Germanic language they had learned, from the Great Famine to Frederick's royal family, and from Frederick's royal family to the low-level commoners, and then from the low-level commoners to the Junker aristocracy....

Chatting all the time, their language level has improved by leaps and bounds, and they have a deeper understanding of local culture and customs.

"In our kingdom of Frederick, because we like cheese and smoked sausages, we don't add salt to our bread, and the most common are sweet bread with sugar and small bread without flavor..."

At the conference table, Daniel took a charcoal pen and drew a fist-sized round loaf of bread on top of a spiral on the top: "The Fredericks were very strict, and they had to cut bread from the middle, and the southerners of Bavaria preferred to cut it vertically, while those north of Thuringia preferred to cut it horizontally..."

"It takes time and effort to bake such a small loaf, is there no other greater bread in Frederick's kingdom?" Levin asked in Germanic with a slight southern accent.

"Absolutely." Daniel immediately said, "In Frederick's kingdom, there are three thousand types of bread, the most common being a round bread made of wheat flour and ground bran flour, which is larger than a human face, and this kind of round bread is usually cut into triangles and eaten with sauerkraut and pork knuckle."

"In addition to the disc bread, the classic style of bread also has a two-pointed, thick baguette in the middle like a big leba, with three knife-cut stripes on it, remember it must be three, four will affect the texture of the bread after it expands in the oven, this baguette will be cut vertically, cut into small pieces, eaten with sausages, pickles and cheese, and some people use it to dip it in broth..."

Daniel said spittle, and said all the customs he knew, Ma Wei kept nodding, silently noting down the habit of not putting salt in the bread, different bread has different cutting methods, and different meals....

To tell the truth, there are too many and complicated rules in Frederick's kingdom, just like there is obsessive-compulsive disorder, such as the same fist-sized loaf, the one with a spiral pattern on the top is called marila bread, and the one with a stripe on the top is called Suryland bread, which obviously looks not much different, but the names are very different and completely different.

This is just the habits of eating, when it comes to the tone of speech, dialect customs.... There are countless rules and regulations.

Daniel, who grew up in the Kingdom of Frederick, was the first crown prince, and since he was a child, he had to follow William V to meet with officials from all over the world.

At the same time, Ma Wei and the others also realized that Daniel was not happy at all in the Palace of Forgetting Worries, his life had already been formulated, what time to get up, what time to wash, what time to dress, what time to call his subordinates, and his attitude towards civilians.... Everything must be strictly implemented in accordance with the regulations.

Didn't William V love Daniel?

As a father, of course, he cherishes his children, but as a king, he must raise excellent heirs for the kingdom.

Daniel also lived up to expectations, as the only boy under the knee of William V, he was very good, whether it was swordsmanship, etiquette or behavior, he revealed a strong aristocratic demeanor, elegant, easy-going, indifferent, calm.... Almost any good adjective can be applied to him.

But since Daniel worshipped Mavi as a teacher and stayed in the Romanov Kingdom, these court etiquette and elegant aristocratic style gradually disappeared, from the beginning of the strictness, and slowly became relaxed and indifferent, perhaps because he realized that there was no one to control him here, and Mavi always emphasized that he wanted him to be close to the people, plus Levin's-stirring stick played him all day long....

The aristocratic temperament of the past is hidden, Daniel begins to become active, begins to learn to express his inner thoughts, occasionally farts at the dinner table, and is unmoved by the disgusting gaze of everyone....

He has faded the halo of the first crown prince, and he often goes out shopping as a civilian, and those civilians will never see him again, and they will be terrified when they see him again, and the last time he went shopping

I also met a thief, the wallet was stolen, hearing this, Levin scolded and was about to go out to avenge him, but Daniel said no, he didn't like the leather wallet with the gilded royal coat of arms of Frederick, every time he paid, he would remind him that he was the first crown prince, and he should pay attention to his words and deeds....

"What's so bad? The prince also loses things, and when he loses the things he hates, he loses them, out of sight and out of mind, maybe the thief who stole my wallet has been hungry for days, and he has to do it as a last resort, doesn't the teacher always say that you should be kind and considerate to the people?" He said.

Then Daniel jingle that month was so poor that he couldn't even afford a kvass drink, and it wasn't until the next month that William V sent in for his living expenses that he was able to regain his money.

"The price of bread must not be increased." "Both my father and Prime Minister Bismarck believed that the price of wheat flour was related to the stability of the situation, and in recent years a number of subsidies have been introduced for the import and export of wheat flour, so that the price of bread in Frederick's kingdom has always been low, and the poor can afford to eat bread made from pure wheat flour," Daniel said.

"Do you have any delicious snacks?" Yunia asked with wide eyes and great curiosity.

When it comes to dim sum, her originally slightly lame Germanic language becomes fluent, especially the words "dim sum", "cake", and "dessert", all of which are pronounced standardly, and the words are correct and round, and even the tongue is used.

"Sugar has always been an important commodity, and in the past, Frederick's kingdom could only import sweet condiments such as frosting, granulated sugar, and maple syrup from abroad, until the invention of beet sugar making technology, the situation was alleviated."

Daniel said: "Because the people's demand for sugar is very high, they who couldn't eat it before can suddenly buy cheap sugar, and they will add it to the food crazily, so the desserts of Frederick's kingdom are sweeter than those of the Popon kingdom, and the people also like to eat sweeter foods, such as plum jam cake and hazelnut cake, which have to be sprinkled with a thin layer of frosting on the surface, and eaten with coffee and flower tea."

"In other words, I'm going to eat more desserts, right?" Yunia's eyes lit up suddenly.

"So to speak." Daniel smiled: "But the biggest difference between us and the people of Windsor is that we don't add sugar or lemon juice to hot tea, we just add some milk to balance the taste, and the finished tea bags are more popular than tea, and coffee is more popular than flower tea."

It's no secret that Windsors love tea, you can let them go three days without eating, but you must not let them go three days without tea, just like Slavic men can't go three days without drinking and have a crazy love for something.

What's even more exaggerated is that the people of Windsor drink tea, only freshly brewed, even on the battlefield.

A large part of Windsor's love for tea comes from the pollution of water sources, many of Windsor's rivers are seriously polluted, and when the water flow rate decreases in winter, it will emit a strong stench, even if it is boiled, there is a strange smell, and tea just solves this problem.

Knock knock!

Just as the four of them were discussing the eating habits of Frederick's kingdom, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and Sarina walked in, holding a stack of papers in her arms, and whispered, "Father, they have arrived."

"yes, I see."

The smile on his face disappeared little by little, and Ma Wei nodded to Sarina, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and found that it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and there were only four hours left before the Truth Conference began.

Calculating the time, the transcendent races who accepted the invitation were almost there.

The invitation letter of the Church of Truth is not only an invitation to these transcendent races to participate in the Second Truth Conference, but more importantly, it represents the official opening of the door of human society to them, which is of great significance.

"Let's go."

Ma Wei got up and said, "Go and meet the representatives of these transcendent races, hopefully..."

"They can surprise me."
