Chapter 173: Alice's Attention

Thomas was happy today, I thought that the sales of ice cream were already hot, but I didn't expect that the sales scene of this ice cube was really hot.

I saw that the entire square was crowded with people, and there was no open space in sight, if it weren't for the hundreds of city guards to maintain order, it was estimated that there would have been an accident at the scene.

"Line up, come one by one, there are a lot of ice cubes, everyone rest assured!"

Thomas shouted at the crowd while collecting the money, the convoy had arranged for three people to be in charge of sales, in addition to Johnny and Yura, there was also a serf, Yura was responsible for selling ice cubes to those rich merchants, all of which started at 1 silver coin, while Johnny was responsible for selling 2 copper plates of ice with the smell of juice, and another serf was selling 1 copper plate of pure ice without any taste.

Originally, Thomas thought that the most purchasing power of ice cubes were those rich merchants and small nobles, but he didn't expect that the three sales windows were full, especially the civilians who came to buy ice cubes were endless, and there was already a long queue.

Behind Thomas, there were already five clay pots, copper plates and a clay pot of silver coins, and Thomas didn't have time to calculate how much money he had received, so he mechanically took the money from Yura and the others and threw it into the clay pot.

"Ibi, tell them to hurry up and bring the ice cubes, I'm about to see the bottom here!"

At this moment, Johnny shouted to one of the guards who was guarding the clay pot of the goods, and now Johnny no longer cowered, and under Thomas's teaching, he was more capable.

"I've just been there, mainly because the juice needs to be juiced, so it will take some time, but it should be fine soon!"

The guard named Ibi also looked helpless, there were a total of 7 guards following Thomas's convoy, but because of the hot sale of ice cubes today, the speed of ice making was only made by two serfs and could not keep up with the speed of sales, so 4 guards were already sent to make ice, and he and the other two guards were here to protect the safety of the payment, but they also needed to help carry the ice when they wanted to get it.

As for the order of the scene, fortunately, there are guards in the southern district to help, otherwise relying on the three of them alone, it is estimated that it will be good if the payment is not lost.

……

"My lord, Lord Gervais's caravan is selling ice cubes in the square of the southern district today, I heard that the price is low, thousands of people have gathered at the scene, and many people are rushing."

In the Rose Castle, Lina is reporting to Alice, since Thomas came to the castle to meet Alice two days ago, Alice has been interested in Gervais's convoy, and ordered Lina to report their situation in the city every day, and the situation of Thomas and others in the past two days Lina will report to Alice every day.

"Well, I didn't expect Gervais to be so lucky, he was able to get a golden elf worm, and he happened to see from the book that the minerals in that space can make ice!"

Alice nodded slightly, she was not surprised that Gervais's caravan had caused a huge stir in Winterfell, because it was ice cream and ice cubes.

To be honest, she still has some cravings for the smooth, unique ice cream, but the ice cream that Gervais gave her is only five cans in total, and she has already eaten three cans, so the other two cans are stored in the ice cellar, and Alice is ready to taste them slowly.

"Yes, my lord, it's really amazing, I watched the ice cube making process carefully that night, and it really just needs to put that white thing in the water and wait for an hour to turn it into ice!"

Lina's eyes lit up as she spoke, and her tone was full of surprise, at first she didn't believe Thomas when she said that Gervais could make ice.

However, the convoy was left in the castle that night, staying in a wooden house in the vestibule, and that night Thomas invited Lina to watch the ice cube making process, under Lina's gaze, Thomas and the servants really made the ice cubes, and there were different flavors of ice cubes, what she saw with her own eyes, Lina had to believe that Gervais really knew the fact of making ice cubes.

"The number of guards over there is enough, don't have an accident!"

"My lord, the deputy commander has sent more than 100 city guards to maintain order, there shouldn't be a problem!"

Lina replied immediately.

"Well, in that case, let them continue to sell there, Gervais's territory is invaded by orcs every year, and it is estimated that he can't afford to buy a shop in Winterfell for a while!"

Alice was a little annoyed with Gervais at first, but as time went on, she had forgotten about Gervais, and if it wasn't for the two deliveries to her, she felt that she and Gervais were complete strangers.

As the saying goes, having short hands and short mouths, since she ate the monster meat and ice cream sent by Gervais, Alice acquiesced to the caravan's rules for breaking Winterfell.

This is actually Gervais taking advantage of Alice's husband and wife, if other caravans dared to do this, they would have been impeached by countless red-eyed nobles, and it is estimated that the letter paper of the complaint can fill the desktop of Alice's desk.

It is precisely because Gervais and Alice have the identity of husband and wife, Gervais is considered to be in his own back garden, no one dares to say no, Alice also pushes the boat to help Gervais, after all, the storm is remote and sparsely populated, and Alice has done careful research before choosing a husband.

……

Gervais didn't know all about Winterfell yet, and he was taking his guards to tame the horses on the horse farm at the moment.

Gervais said first, as long as he defeats the orcs, all the guards can get a war horse of their own, and today Gervais fulfilled his promise and led everyone to the horse farm with the excited expressions of the guards.

In addition to the personal guards, there is also Audrey, as the first group of guards of Gervais, Gervais is also ready to let him tame a war horse, and as for Laurie, he will also have his share when he returns.

The two guards who were injured in the battle two days ago were also present, proud of the super defense of the Mithril equipment, the guards who were stunned by the meteor hammer woke up that day and moved freely, but the guards who were burned by the arc were even worse, and their hands were still wrapped in thick strips of cloth.

This guard can't tame his own horse in person today, but Gervais does it for him, Gervais originally wanted to let the guard heal the injury on his hand in two days, and then let him tame the war horse himself, but he didn't expect the guard to kneel down on the spot and ask Gervais to help him tame a horse.

Only then did Gervais understand that a war horse is a God-given treasure for these guards, the coveted standard, just like the yearning of men on the earth for sports cars, although these guards do not know that these wild horses are top war horses, but even ordinary horses are their pursuit, such as Audri's fantasy at the gate of the castle a few days ago, not to mention these serf guards who have just become guards for a long time.

The guards had proved their prowess and were willing to die for themselves, and of course Gervais would not refuse such a small request, and the guard agreed with a grateful look on his face, saving him from worrying that the cooked duck would fly.
