Volume 1 The Tale of the Blacksmith Chapter 57 Cooking Lesson

The emir quickly finished his lunch, and immediately rushed to the square of the barracks.

When she arrived, she saw that the square was full of people, and Ophelia was really efficient, perhaps her only shortcoming was that she couldn't cook.

The emir came to the crowd, and the people already knew that he was the lord of the city, so they all looked at him with a smile on him, hoping that he would solve the problem of food shortage.

If it had been before, Emir would definitely feel nervous to be stared at by so many people, but after several tests of life and death, his psychological endurance has also become much stronger.

At this time, Ophelia, who had completed the task, came over and reported the situation to him.

"Lord City, all the residents of Heitan Town are here, a total of 86 people, and they have all put the ingredients they brought over there."

She said and pointed to a large box next to the square, and Emile walked over to look at it, which was full of all kinds of ingredients, meat, eggs, dairy products, flour, and so on.

However, there was something he had to warn Ophelia.

"Well, you don't need to call me Lord of the City, after all, I am completely dependent on you now, just call me Emir."

Ophelia smiled and shook her head.

"I'm a knight, how can I not obey the etiquette of a knight? Just like you said before, it's your business whether you need me to call you Lord Castle, but it's my business to obey the etiquette of knights. ”

The emir was speechless, and had to do as she wanted.

"Well, Mir, what the hell did you call me over?"

At this time, Rena stood up from the crowd and asked.

"Oh, I almost forgot." The emir was reminded.

Then, he looked at the crowd in front of him, and suddenly found one thing, that is, among the 86 people, most of them were men, and there were only a handful of women, and these people were wearing quite gorgeous clothes.

If it was a nobleman, he would have left with George Karel a long time ago, so it should be only some rich people who stayed here, and they usually took care of their daily lives by hired servants, so naturally they would not cook themselves.

"By the way, Rena, what about your parents? Aren't they here? The emir suddenly remembered the stubble.

Rena didn't expect the Emir to care about this, and she couldn't help but be a little flattered, so she said, "To tell you the truth, when I first fled, I was separated from my family, and I don't know where they went, so I had to stay, and now it seems that they should all have left." ”

Emil was thoughtful, and he understood why Rena didn't go with George and the others in the first place, so that sooner or later she could be reunited with her family.

However, at that time, she was not sure where her family was going, so the best thing to do was to stay where she was and wait.

"I see," said the emir, smiling at her, "it's all right, the Lord's Mansion will be your home from now on, and if you want to reunite with your family, I will help you then." ”

When Rena heard this, she was immediately moved, and she thought to herself that she had really followed the right person, and this new city lord was really a person of high moral character.

However, the emir went on to say.

"In that case, then we can be considered family, so I want you to cook for these people, which can be regarded as a favor for me."

The reason why Emir went around in such a circle was because Rena had no reason to do things for these people, but if she knew that Emir regarded her as family, she would definitely help Emir solve her problems.

"What?" Rena was dumbfounded, she looked at the people, and couldn't help but look embarrassed, "This ...... There are so many people, I can't do it even in a day. ”

At this point, Ophelia stepped forward, and it seemed that she had an idea.

"You don't have to do it alone, you can teach them, and then let them learn to cook and support themselves."

"yes, that's it." The emir chimed in.

"Oh, I can do that." Rena nodded solemnly.

She looked serious, and really took this as what she should do.

In fact, Emir was overthinking just now, and Rena had been conquered by his charisma, even if she didn't treat her as a family member, she had the idea of helping.

At first, when she saw that the people were facing a shortage of food but could not cook, she also considered helping, but the old housekeeper of the mansion told her that she could only serve the emir alone, and if she did things for the common people, she would be expelled.

Rena finally got the job, so naturally she didn't dare to violate the rules, but now it's different, she has obtained the permission of the emir, and this is also to solve the problems of the new "family", which is not a violation.

However, before Rena's action, the emir, as the lord of the city, had to say a few words to the people, so he stood on the high platform of the square.

“…… Ahem," he coughed lightly, and then said, "Residents, named Emile Stuart, I had the honor of becoming the lord of this town just a few days ago, so if there is a problem now, we should face it together, but rest assured, as long as I have a bite to eat, I will not let you go hungry......"

At this, the emir glanced at the expressions of the people below, and found that most of them were at a loss.

He suddenly felt embarrassed, in fact, he couldn't think of such words himself, he just heard the village chief say something similar, and now he is just painting a scoop based on a gourd, but it seems that the effect is not good, and the people did not cheer for the village chief's words like the villagers of Jinshi Village did.

At this time, a hand was raised from the crowd, looking dirty.

Emile guessed that the man had something to say, but was blocked by the people around him because he was too short, so he stepped down from the stage himself, motioning for the crowd to get out of the way.

The people were also cooperative, and in a few moments the man appeared in front of the emir.

However, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when she saw it, Emir was stunned on the spot, because this guy was none other than Grea, who had not been seen for a few days.

“…… How are you? ”

"Hehe, it's me, Lord Emir," Grea scratched her head and smirked, then explained, "I was caught by the soldiers before, and I was not released until it was confirmed that I was not a demon spy. ”

"Well, okay, you must not make trouble next, or I will have to drive you away." The emir reluctantly held his forehead.

"Yes, Emir." Grea nodded at him.

The emir was not happy, and he did not know if it was a delusion, but he always felt that Grea did not really listen to him.

Of course, he didn't care, anyway, if Grea violated him, he would not hesitate to expel him, and if the situation was too serious, even if he was killed.

But he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked Grea why he raised his hand, and he was surprised by the appearance of this guy just now, and he forgot about business, after all, as the lord of the city, he had to solve problems for every resident.

"By the way, what did you just want to say?"

"Hehe," Grea continued to smile, "yes, I want to say that you don't need to worry about these people at all, we can just leave this town and follow those nobles, and we will definitely eat and drink spicy food when the time comes......"

Before he could finish, the emir frowned.

Not only was he dissatisfied, but even the people around him began to talk about it when they heard this.

The reason for their dissatisfaction is also very simple, even the city lord did not express his position, and he, a common man, dared to point fingers here.

In the end, the emir did not pay attention to his words, but said lightly.

"I'll forget it, if you want to follow those nobles, go ahead, no one will stop you."

Grea knew that Emir had a problem with him because of what had happened before, but he couldn't understand that Emir had turned down such a good offer.

"Emir, I'm for your own good, what's in it for you to stay here? Do you feel very happy that they made you the lord of the city? You're wrong, they're just throwing a mess at you, and then putting a high hat on you so that you want to serve them willingly, don't be deceived. ”

At this point, Ophelia seemed to have a lot to say to refute Grea, but she chose to stand aside and remain silent, she wanted to see what Emir would do.

And the people around them are also waiting for the emir to make a statement, for them, it doesn't really matter who is the lord of the city, they just hope that someone can save the town.

Naturally, the emir would not give up on them, after all, he had already made up his mind not to disappoint Lydia's expectations.

"I said, you have to go by yourself, I'm different from you, I want to do something more valuable."

"Huh? Isn't it worthwhile to make money? Isn't there value in living a better life? Grea shouted.

However, after noticing that Emir looked at him as a fool, his tone calmed down and he said.

"Hehe, I kind of understand, you just want to make a contribution, right? Fame is more important to you than money, which is why you sacrificed Sain in order to become the lord of the city. ”

However, as soon as Grea finished saying this, it seemed that he had touched the emir's scales.

He lunged over with a stumble and unleashed an uppercut that caught him off guard and hit him right in the jaw.

"Hmm!"

Grea fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, as well as a bloody tooth.

"You, you beat me too, you bastard......"

"You don't have the right to Tisain, even if he dies, he is worth more than you live, if you know a little bit, get out of this town, I don't want to see your face again." The emir said viciously.

“…… Cut, you kind guy who is a donkey's liver and lungs, I don't care about you, we will have no time in the future! Guerra was also furious.

In fact, after these encounters, he finally understood the importance of his companions, so he finally made up his mind to have a good relationship with the emir, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

In the end, Emile watched Grea leave, and couldn't help sighing, if you want to talk about feelings, he is not inferior to Sain, so with the affection of his fellow villagers, he should also take care of Grea, but after this quarrel, he realized that he and Grea are not the same kind of people at all, or rather, some people are destined not to be worthy of his sincerity.

The brief commotion was over, and the emir was once again thinking in his mind what to say to the people next, but he looked at the people around him, and saw that their eyes were shining, and they were no longer as dazed as before.

He could understand that Grea's words had made them nervous, and if he did choose to leave here, they would be completely lost.

Fortunately, the emir told them that he would not leave, and the people were more hopeful, and they decided to obey the emir.

The emir also knew very well that there was no need to say those high-sounding words again, just put them into action.

So, he tells the people that they need to build a stove and that Rena will teach them how to make the most basic meals.

People were very interested, scrambling to help, and it was about to be a mess, but fortunately Ophelia stepped forward to maintain order and divided the work among them in detail.

In the end, after the efforts of everyone, everything was ready.

The people sat cross-legged on the floor, and in the midst of them, a maid stood in front of the cauldron, patiently demonstrating the process of cooking rice and cooking dishes.

Not only the populace, but even Ophelia looked at it with interest, nodding her head from time to time, probably thinking, "Oh, I see." ”

Emile laughed silently at her like this, he could understand why someone like Ophelia couldn't cook, because she looked so young, but she was so powerful, she must have spent most of her life improving her combat power.

However, Emile was not very happy to see that his idea had worked, and although he drove away Grea's kind of guy who spoiled the atmosphere, the words of the other party still broke Emile's defense.

It was as if he had killed Sain, but when you think about it, isn't that so? If he had noticed earlier, if he hadn't been so close to the Dark Knight, wouldn't the ending have been different?

The emir knew that his thoughts were meaningless, but he inevitably fell into a dead end.

However, a commotion among the populace interrupted his thoughts, followed by Rena's screams.

Emir hurriedly looked over and found that Rena originally wanted to fry a piece of meat, but there was someone who wanted to try it herself, and Rena was naturally very welcome.

As a result, after the man had boiled the oil, he was afraid that he would be fried, so he stood next to the oil pan and threw the meat into it.

This time the hot oil was directly splashed out, but fortunately Rena covered her face with her hand so as not to hurt her face, but a few blood blisters immediately burned out of her arm.

At this time, the people around were also very nervous, and some even lifted a bucket of water to pour it into the pot in order to prevent the hot oil from spilling out again.

“…… Oh, my God. ”

Speechless, the emir rushed over and snatched the bucket down, and poured it into the stove.

Soon, as the flames went out, the hot oil in the pot stopped boiling, and then he hurried to Rena's side to check on her injuries.

"How are you?" The emir asked with concern.

"Haha, it's okay, I cook a lot, I'm used to it, thank you for your concern." Rena said embarrassedly.

She thought she had screwed up because she hadn't explained it to the man in advance.

But Emir didn't think so, the reason why he was so flustered was because if he hadn't asked Rena to help, she wouldn't have been hurt at all.

At this time, Ophelia walked over unhurriedly, took Rena's oil-burned arm, and wiped it with her hand, and the blisters disappeared.

Ophelia then smiled and gave her a chivalric salute.

"It's okay, we don't necessarily have to eat fried food, anyway, I thank Miss Rena on behalf of all the people."

Hearing this, Rena was deeply moved, on one side by the care of the Emir, and on the other by the gratitude of the knights and the people, who had never experienced such happiness before.

At the same time, Ophelia is also satisfied with the current situation in the town, whether it is the decisive style of the emir, or the trust of the people in the city lord, and the ability to solve any problems that can be solved smoothly.

According to this trend, maybe she will be able to leave this place early.
