Chapter 34: The Golden Castle
Gollum ~ Gollum ~
Just as Gervais was savoring the hard-won delicacy, a gurgling sound suddenly sounded in his ears.
Gervais turned his head to look, only to see Thomas clutching his stomach in embarrassment, his eyes peeking at the oysters in Gervais's hand from time to time.
"Adult, forgive me, the villain is rude!" This voice was made by Thomas, who was busy today, just ate a few mouthfuls of food at noon, and began to arrange various things, and now smelling the aroma of oysters in Gervais's hand, his stomach screamed uncontrollably.
This was a very rude thing for Thomas, so he wanted to find a hole to get into at the moment.
"Here, you can taste one and see how it tastes." Of course, Gervais will not be angry, Thomas has done his best for the things in the castle for the past two days, and he has seen it all.
If it weren't for Thoma, he would definitely be in a hurry, how could he be so chic as he is today, saying that he will go to inspect the territory and come back and have time to make wine and oysters.
"Thank you, Lord for your reward." Thomas had been coveting this thing called oysters for a long time, and when he saw Gervais handing it over, he didn't shirk it, bent down and took an oyster from Gervais's hand with both hands, and ate it carefully under the envious eyes of everyone around him.
When Thomas took the first bite, his body stiffened for a moment, and after a moment he relaxed slightly, and then his eyes were heavy and he pecked at the oyster again.
To be honest, Thomas felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever eaten in his life, and there was no one, when the thick garlic aroma mixed with the sweet umami of the seafood stimulated the taste buds, the whole body trembled, and the slight spicy taste mixed with the garlic melted into every corner of the mouth, making people's blood boil.
Although Thomas was a humble manservant at Rose Castle, after each banquet, the butler of Rose Castle would reward them with some food that had not been eaten by the guests, and the chefs of Rose Castle were undoubtedly skilled and the ingredients of the food were top-notch, but none of them could compare to the deliciousness of this oyster.
After a while, Thomas ate everything inside the oyster shell, not even a single grain of minced garlic, and if it wasn't for the public eye, Thomas would have the urge to take the shell and lick it a few times.
In the end, this impulse was suppressed by Thomas's reason.
Whether it was Johnny near or the guards peeking from afar, they all swallowed in unison when they saw Thomas's eating, imagining what kind of delicacy could make Thomas, who had always been known for his etiquette, show such a look.
"Your Excellency, you are so amazing that you can make such a delicious thing out of 'weeds' and shells. I sincerely praise you, my master! After eating, Thomas saluted Gervais excitedly, and looked at Gervais with admiration in his eyes.
"Hehe, Thomas, the thing I brought back isn't a weed, it's called garlic. In the future, I plan to ask the serfs to open up a few acres of fields, all of which will be used to grow garlic. Gervais replied to Thomas with a smile, for Thomas's reaction Gervais is not surprised, the cooking level of this world is completely incomparable with the Chinese country on the earth, one in the sky and one in the ground, how to compare?
If Thomas didn't react after tasting the oysters, then Gervais was strange.
"It turned out to be called garlic. My lord, I am sure that this dish you have invented will surely drive other nobles crazy. I think we should come up with a name for this dish and name it Mistress Gervais's Dish. "Thomas has been completely conquered by Gervais's roasted oysters.
What he imagined now was that when this dish was spread, it would definitely go viral among the nobles, and as a pre-butler, he had already thought about how to spread Gervais's reputation for the sake of Gervais.
You must know that in this world, transportation is inconvenient, information is blocked, and it is very difficult for a person to become famous.
But now that this oyster is here, if this delicious dish is named Lord Gervais's dish, then the name of Gervais will definitely spread throughout the principality with this delicacy, and may even spread to other principalities.
"Oh, Thomas, that's a good suggestion, but it's worth naming the dish after me. I have a better way. Gervais thought Thomas's advice was very good.
The aristocracy of this world is very keen to spread their good name, otherwise there would not be so many nobles who let people write their own autobiography and spend money to print and give it to other nobles. If the name of a nobleman really spreads, it will make that person the most beautiful cub in the audience at the noble banquet, so as to earn a lot of face, and his vanity will be extremely satisfied.
But it doesn't matter if Gervais feels that he becomes the brightest cub or not, on the contrary, his own territory needs to increase his popularity, so that if he really develops business, as long as the oysters are popular in the aristocratic circle, and he knows that this dish is passed down from Gervais's territory, it will play a great role in his other products in the future, which is a good brand label.
"I feel like I need to come up with a name for my territory and my castle, and then choose one of them to name the oysters, so that I can spread the good name of my territory."
"Follow your will, my lord, but I still think your lord should consider naming it after you." Thomas didn't understand why Gervais didn't want to use his own name, but instead wanted to use the name of the territory.
You must know that such a thing with a great opportunity to become famous is something that can be encountered but not sought, and if you miss it, you may never have it again in your life.
"Thomas, I have made up my mind, and now let me think about the name of my domain and castle." Gervais knew that it was difficult for Thomas's mind to understand his own plans as a traverser.
All the people in this world are based on agriculture, supplemented by trade, because the world is the most full to eat.
If you tell them that you are going to vigorously develop business first, you will definitely be considered crazy by them, so you are not ready to explain to him, and you have taken out the privileges of the noble lord, and Thomas cannot refute it.
"Yes, sir!" Master Gervais had already made up his mind, and Thomas did not dare to persuade him again.
……
"What's a good name?" Gervais was eating oysters, looking up at the stars, and was searching his stomach to think about what to name his territory, so that he could be worthy of being a traverser who had never been seen before or since.
But Gervais thought about it for a long time, and Gervais didn't come up with any good names, naming his weaknesses, and when he played games in his previous life, he gave the most old-fashioned names.
"Forget it, just pick up any one." After thinking about it for a long time, Gervais couldn't think of a reason, so he simply didn't think about it anymore.
"Since my dream is to make a lot of money and then go into a riot, the castle is called the Golden Castle, majestic, high-profile and luxurious. I'm so talented. Gervais was silly and amused.
"Since the castle is the gold of the small targets, what about the territory? Is it called a tyrant leader? Belch...... It's not smooth. Gervais continued to think about it, the name of the castle is good, and of course the territory must be named, but it is very difficult to call it a tyrant leader.
"Yes, it's called Stormwind Collar, I remember that there was a Stormwind City in a game in my previous life, oh, I'm really talented."
"Thomas, I've already thought of a name, you can record it later, and send it to Rose Castle tomorrow with the rest of the letters, so that Winterfell can record it." As soon as the name was decided, Gervais came to his senses and began to instruct Thomas to record it.
Although you can choose your own name, if you want to be recognized by other nobles, you need to go to Winterfell and mark it on the territory of the Jones family, so that you can justify the new name of the territory in the future.
"Okay sir, please tell me, and I'll write it down." Not to mention, Thomas is a very dedicated butler, Gervais thought that Thomas needed to find a pen and paper, but as soon as Gervais's words fell, Thomas took out a pen and paper from his arms and waited for Gervais to say his name.
cough~cough~
Gervais coughed twice, and then said solemnly, "The name of the territory will be called Stormlord from now on." ”
After speaking, Gervais saw that Thomas was honestly recording and had no other reaction, so he put his mind at ease, just afraid that his name waste material would be laughed at by his subordinates.
"The name of the castle is a bit domineering, it's called the Golden Castle!"
