Chapter 162: Who Gave Courage?

……

There are four districts in Winterfell, which are divided into southeast, northwest, and northwest.

Although it is much cleaner and tidier than in the countryside, walking on the streets of these two districts, you can still smell the unknown odor, and most of the pedestrians on the street are ragged civilians.

The southern district is an area where wealthy merchants or individual small aristocrats gather, the streets here are wide, the whole street is lined with shops on both sides, the cries of selling are endless, and among the pedestrians walking by the streets, you can occasionally see one or two pot-bellied rich merchants swaggering by with their servants.

As for the eastern side, it is the quietest place in the whole of Winterfell, the bluestone paved streets are neat and wide, and in addition to some high-end shops, the streets are lined with the gates of luxurious mansions, many of which are guarded by strong men in leather armor with long swords hanging from their waists.

Compared with the other three districts, there are many fewer pedestrians on the street, and the people passing by on the street are often men and women dressed in silk clothes, except for the male and female servants dressed as servants.

But today, in this quiet and peaceful East District, which is like a paradise on earth, there is a strange scene.

The square of East Street is usually a place for many aristocratic ladies and ladies to relax and play, here is full of green trees, open space, and there are many places around the square to sell silk or some high-end luxury goods.

But in such an upscale place, there was a caravan that occupied the center of the square, and this caravan had four carriages, and the number was only 13, including heavily armed soldiers, stewards in silk, and a few serfs in linen shirts.

Many of the tourists who were in groups had already started to talk about it.

"What's going on with those people? How did you start moving and unloading goods in the square? Aren't they afraid of the city guards? ”

"I don't know where these hillbillies came from, they came to Winterfell for the first time, they don't know the rules, you wait and see, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat later!"

"I think they should be a caravan under which lord, otherwise how could there be so many soldiers guarding!"

"What are they going to do here? Doesn't you know that caravans can't stay in Winterfell except for the cargo station? ”

For these aristocrats in the Eastern End, it was unheard of for this convoy to behave so strangely, and there were those who gloated and those who speculated about the origin of this convoy.

As a large city with a population of 100,000, Winterfell is the most prosperous existence in the Earlate of Jones, of course, there are many rules in this prosperous place, the caravan comes to Winterfell, there are only two places to go after entering the city, if the goods of the caravan have not yet been buyers, then you can go to the cargo station to stay, the cargo station is not only complete with food and accommodation, but also has a large number of merchants, any goods can be traded and sold there.

If the goods already have a buyer, they can be pulled directly to the buyer to unload, and after unloading, they must go, and the carriage cannot be allowed to occupy the street for a long time.

There are two such cargo stations in Winterfell, one in the southern district and one in the northern district, and as for the eastern district, of course, there is no place for the nobles to live.

If any caravan does not follow this rule, it will be fined at the least, confiscated at worst, and likely imprisoned.

Just when the nobles were talking about preparing to watch a good show, a scene that the nobles did not expect appeared, only to see that the caravan on the square, after unloading the goods, actually set up a platform in the center of the square, as if it was going to start setting up a stall to do business.

When all the nobles saw this scene, they couldn't help but gasp, and a thought popped up in their minds: "Who gave them such courage?" ”

……

Who gives courage? Of course it's Liang Jingru, oh no, of course it's Alice!

In the eyes of the nobles, this incredible convoy belonged to Gervais, a caravan led by Thomas.

With Thomas's behavior and his identity, of course, he did not dare to bring a caravan to this East End Square to set up a stall, and everything he was doing now was arranged by Gervais in advance.

Before leaving, Gervais asked Thomas about Winterfell, and the West and North Sides were slums, and although they were all civilians, most of them were living in poverty.

The southern district is mostly rich businessmen, although there is some money, but Gervais still chose the first stop in this eastern district, because the first thing to sell is the ice cream made by Gervais himself.

Ice cream was originally sold to the aristocracy, and the wealthy merchants, Gervais prepared ice cubes for them.

Because the ice cream has been prepared in advance, if it is not sold as soon as possible, it will add a lot of unnecessary costs in order to keep the ice cream from melting.

As for the ice, it can be made on the spot with nitrate, so there is no need to worry about melting, so as soon as he entered the city, Thomas led the caravan to the square of the East District, which has the largest flow of people in the East District, and the place is clean and wide.

Along the way, in order to take Jimmy's two apprentices to the castles of other lords to sell golden oysters, Thomas and his party have been delayed for three days, and visited two lords in total, because of Gervais's relationship, although the two lords didn't care much about the so-called golden oysters at first, but they did not refuse them to enter the castle to make food on the spot, after all, Gervais is Alice's husband, and on the day of the wedding, Alice released cruel words, and no one dared to disobey.

Now that they were allowed to roast the oysters, the rest of course went smoothly, and with the unique taste of the golden oysters, the two lords were immediately conquered by the food they had never experienced before.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to the lord, those noble ladies and ladies were not going to taste this dirty and unsightly food, but Thomas told everyone present according to Gervais's words that this golden oyster is not only delicious, but also the man eats too much and the body is great, and the woman eats the fair-skinned.

Because of this sentence, the noble ladies on the scene put down their bodies and tasted them, and then these ladies and ladies were also successfully captured by the golden oysters, and finally the caravan got 2 gold coins and 1 silver coin from each lord, 2 gold coins are the tuition fees for the professor to bake oysters, 1 silver coin is the price of 50 catties of oysters, as for the first time the garlic is given for free, the next purchase needs to be calculated according to 10 copper plates per catty.

In just three days, the caravan won 4 gold coins and 2 silver coins.

After exiting the second lord's castle, the caravan was divided into two under Thomas's assignment, and Thomas led a team of 13 men, Johnny, Jura, Thomas, plus three serfs, and 7 guards to Winterfell.

The other team, led by two of Jimmy's apprentices, led by four serfs, was going to each of the noble castles in the Earl of Jones to sell golden oysters, and this team was also protected by seven guards, including the captain Laurie.

……

"Ice cream! Chilling ice cream! Let's try it, everyone! ”

"What can only be tasted by the great nobles in the summer, you can also taste it here now, the opportunity is rare, don't miss it when you pass by!"

Seeing that the noble ladies around the square were constantly looking here, to be honest, Thomas was a little panicked, but thinking of Gervais and Alice as his backing, Thomas calmed down again, and arranged for Yura and Johnny to start shouting loudly.

"This ...... This...... They even set up stalls in the square to sell ......"

"It's the first time I've seen such a ruthless person......"

"Father and mother, is there anything delicious, I want to eat it......"

When the loud shouting sounded in the square of the East District, the silence here was broken in an instant, and the jaws of the nobles around them were about to drop, this kind of ruthless person was the first time they had seen it, setting up stalls in this square to sell caravans, they had never seen it in decades.

They didn't even pay attention to what they were selling, only the unworldly children began to ask their parents when they heard that it was food.

"Ice cold, ice cream, don't miss it, open today, you can taste it for free, and buy it after you are satisfied! Not satisfied, don't want money! ”

In this way, Johnny and Yura shouted in the middle of the square for more than ten minutes, but although there were already crowds of onlookers standing around, no one stepped forward to taste and ask, and even some children heard that the food was delicious, it was still cold and cold, and wanted to come to the front of the convoy to have a look, but this action was immediately stopped by their parents.

"Lord Thomas, they don't seem to dare to buy it!"

After shouting for a long time, she found that the tourists were just watching, but did not come to buy, Yura was a little depressed, and said a word to Thomas next to her.

Of course, Thomas also found out about this situation, and he didn't expect the golden oyster to go well, but it was the problem of selling the ice cream.

After thinking about it, Thomas got up from the chair next to him, walked to the table where the goods were placed, and shouted: "Dear gentlemen and ladies, this ice cream comes from the storm collar south of the Dead Leaf River, and is made with ice cubes, milk and sugar, delicious and precious, everyone can taste it for free!" If you are not satisfied, don't want money! ”

"In addition to ice cream, we also have ice cubes for sale here, which are cheap and good, and customers want to buy them as soon as possible, and the ice cream is not much, and it will be sold out later!"

When Thomas's words fell, especially when he heard that it was made of ice cubes, milk and sugar, the crowd suddenly resounded with discussions, and there were a few ladies and ladies who were clearly a little abnormal and wanted to step forward, but they looked at the crowd around them, and they were a little embarrassed to step forward, so they could only stop in place and continue to watch.

After Thomas finished shouting, seeing the reaction of the crowd, he thought it was done at first, but after waiting for a while, no one stepped forward, but he was really a little worried, this ice cream was the main purpose of his team, but now no one bought it, so how did he go back and explain to Gervais.

"Storm Collar south of the Withered Leaf River? Is it Baron Gervais's domain? ”

Just when Thomas was also a little anxious, a middle-aged man suddenly stepped out of the crowd of onlookers, and beside the man was a delicately dressed woman, who was holding two children, one older and one small.

"Yes, my lord, my lord is none other than Baron Gervis, lord of the Stormlord and master of the Golden Citadel! I'm his butler Thomas. ”

Thomas looked for the voice, and found that the man who was questioning him was dressed in silk and wore the knight's badge on his chest, and his eyes lit up, especially when he saw the two children beside him, and he had an idea.

"I don't know your honorable name, let me say hello to you for my master!"

Thomas saluted the middle-aged man who walked out of the crowd in front of him, and then asked with a smile.
