Chapter 165: To Rose Castle
"Thank you Captain Anthony, Captain Anthony, on such a hot day, let's go and try ice cream to cool off!"
At this moment, Thomas and Anthony had a good conversation, and Thomas saw that the crowd over there was still waiting, so he did not delay any longer, and invited Anthony to go to the convoy.
"Then thank you Butler Thomas!"
Anthony realized that he had just interrupted the sale of Gervais's caravan, and now the crowd over there was still waiting, and immediately agreed to follow Thomas's words.
After the words fell, the three of them hurried back to the convoy.
"Johnny, you serve ten bowls of ice cream to the guards of the city guards to cool off, on such a hot day, the city guards are still patrolling in armor, it's too hard!"
Before returning to the convoy, Thomas immediately instructed Johnny to serve some ice cream to these guards, although he frightened Anthony with the names of Gervais and Alice, but the sleek Thomas knew that it was best to use power to overwhelm people and lure people together, after all, he couldn't help Gervais offend people for no reason.
"Thank you, Steward Thomas! Thank you Butler Thomas, by the way, you guys spread out a little bit and help keep the crowd in order! ”
Gervais and Alice are only husband and wife in name, and of course Anthony and these little people don't know why, and now that Thomas invites them to eat ice cream, he is the reward of the Earl's husband to them, so he gladly accepts it, and also gives orders to his 9 subordinates to help maintain order on the scene.
"Thank you, Steward Thomas!"
Although several guards didn't know how Anthony changed so quickly, they didn't care, anyway, even if there was something, Anthony was on top of it, they just needed to do what they were ordered, so they thanked Thomas one by one, and then dispersed to maintain order on the scene.
Anthony's order and the actions of the city guards made the nobles on the scene a little confused, why did they just look like they were going to open a stall, but now they are about to take the initiative to maintain order.
Could it be that the city guards you encountered today are fake? You must know that the city guards in the East Side are notoriously strict, because they belong to the Knights of the Rose, and the Knights of the Roses are the cards of the Jones family, and all of them are knights with titles, of course, they are disciplined.
"Ahem! Didn't you just want to buy ice cream? Buy it quickly, ice cream is available on a first-come, first-served basis! ”
After Johnny carried the ice cream to the guards, Thomas stood on the platform again and shouted at the crowd in front of him.
"I want 3 cans!"
"I want 1 can!"
“……”
With Thomas's reminder, everyone finally reacted, regardless of why he had such a change in the city guards, after buying ice cream first, I don't know if I can taste such a delicacy next time!
In this way, as the crowd gathered more and more, Gervais spent many days making the accumulated ice cream, only to sell out in one day.
Of course, the harvest was not cheap, more than 500 cans of ice cream were sold, and five golden gold coins had been placed in the money bag, which was carefully placed in Thomas's arms.
Five gold coins sounds small, but in fact, it is already a huge amount of money, you must know that Gandalf has a population of tens of thousands, and the tax revenue for five years is only more than 1,000 gold coins, and Gervais's ice cream sells more than five gold coins a day, in addition to the cost, it also earns more than four gold coins, in the eyes of Thomas and others, this is as easy as picking up money.
And today is considered to be the opening of the market, and there is no need to give it to everyone to taste for free in the future, so the profit will be higher
"Captain Anthony, thank you for your help today!"
The ice cream was sold out, and it was already dusk, but Anthony's team was still guarding the convoy.
"Butler Thomas is polite, this is what I should do, and I have already gone back to report, and the chief has approved it!"
Anthony's squad was stationed in this square for a long time, of course, it was impossible not to inform his superiors, Anthony returned to the garrison alone halfway, reported the situation here to the squadron leader, and immediately got permission, so that he could stay here with peace of mind and ensure the safety of the caravan.
As for the patrol, it will naturally be arranged for another team to carry out, just kidding, the caravan of Lord Earl's husband, of course, it must show enough respect, you must know that everything they have is given by Lord Earl, this Winterfell is like Lord Earl's back garden, and Lord Earl's husband certainly has privileges here.
"Captain Anthony, these two cans of ice cream are for you and Your Excellency Iger, these broken ice will be given to the 9 guard brothers who help maintain order, and I thank you for your help today on behalf of my master, please be sure to accept it!"
As he spoke, Thomas pointed to the 11 clay pots on the side of the carriage and said to Anthony.
Although the ice cream for Anthony and Eagle was in cans, only the small half of the jar was the last ice cream left in the corner, and Thomas simply took charge of Gervais and gave it to Anthony and Iger.
After all, the two of them also helped a lot today, as for those broken ices, they are all used to keep the ice cream warm, and for safety, they are all made of copper basins to separate the nitrate, which can also be eaten.
"Thank you, Baron Gervais, then I'll be disrespectful!"
The deliciousness of ice cream is unforgettable for Anthony in his life, and Thomas also said that this is Gervais's reward, so he didn't shirk it and immediately responded.
"Thank you, Lord Baron Gervais!"
When the clay pots were distributed to the guards, and they felt the coldness of the clay pots, everyone said words of gratitude from the bottom of their hearts.
……
After packing up the convoy and saying goodbye to Anthony, Thomas led the convoy towards Fort Rose, Alice is Gervais's wife after all, his caravan came to Winterfell, there is no reason not to know Alice's reason, and this time, Gervais also specially asked Thomas to bring gifts.
In addition to sending some ice cream to Alice to taste, he also brought 20 catties of Warcraft meat, which is the meat of the three-color deer, because he only sent 10 catties last time, Gervais has always felt that he can't handle it, and he will hunt a Warcraft again, and he will immediately let Thomas send it to make up for it.
Gervais's cheap dad didn't fall behind, and he also sent 20 catties, and even Nashen had two catties, and the monster meat given to Gandalf and Nashen would be sent by the convoy of Jimmy's two apprentices, and they would go to Gandalf's castle to roast oysters for them at that time.
Who is good to himself, Gervais remembers it clearly, as long as the situation allows, he will definitely repay kindness and revenge, this is his code of conduct!
"Stop, who's who?"
When Thomas and his convoy traveled along the Main Axis Avenue to the gate between Winterfell and Rose Castle, he was stopped by the guards on duty!
"We are the subordinates of Baron Gervais, Lord of the Stormlord, and my master has ordered us to come to Rose Castle to meet the Earl, send some gifts to the Earl, and please let me know!"
Although Thomas came out of Rose Castle, he was only a small manservant before, and there were hundreds of people in Rose Castle, of course, no one knew him, so Thomas took out a slip with Gervais's mark and handed it to the guard!
"Wait here, I'll report inside!"
Listening to Thomas, he was not timid at all, and directly named the Earl by name, the guards did not dare to slack off, took the note handed by Thomas, and walked into the gate, although he didn't know who Baron Gervais was, but as long as he was not a madman, he could send his men to name and see the Earl, he was definitely a person with a great background, and he couldn't afford to provoke him.
