Chapter 6 Thanksgiving
After dinner, Lawrence walked to the communal kitchen with his hands behind his back.
Behind Lawrence, Emma and Bull slowly followed with the barrel.
There were kitchens built for the lumberjacks and the camp, and now the communal kitchens along the river were mainly used to cook for the few serfs living on the estate.
For example, the Mandel Crewe family and the Leglow family.
There are also Snowman dog trainers Brick and Elle, as well as Navia and Briel, who live in the back room of the church.
Allie is a beautiful and a Baumithe, and was arranged by Lawrence to be a nun in his own Church of the Lord of the Stars, cleaning the church every day or helping out in the main house.
Lawrence doesn't drink alcohol, so he gives the newly brewed cider as a reward.
It's the time of technical exploration, and Lawrence is not very confident about the food that he has made with these local methods, and plans to wait until the technology is mature before drinking it himself.
However, the rest of the people of this era are comfortable with this fruit wine.
After all, it was the era of casually drinking river water, and in comparison, wine was already a very clean drink.
Lawrence abides by his own rules and regulations, and those who do merit are rewarded.
The eggs were already boiling in the cauldron next to him, and Lawrence felt that it was almost there, so he shouted to the crowd in front of him, "Line up!" ”
The crowd that was originally standing scattered outside the shed quickly crowded together, and began to push me and I pushed you in line.
Reglo was the first, she was the strongest physique, especially after short hair, and was basically a man.
In second place was Mandelkru, who was holding the wooden glass he was drinking with one hand and the other at his side, and was not carrying an arm knife at this time.
Mandelcrowe was followed by Seravon and then the two men of Reglow.
The first few people don't need to push each other, this status has already been decided, and it is not the first time that several people have been rewarded.
The competition was fiercer for the latter teams, especially those women who joined for the first time, and soon decided on a natural order through their own strength and fierce eyes.
Humility is not in vogue in this region, and the last in line is not necessarily the weakest, but it is certainly not too strong.
Usually eating in line is also eaten, and both women and men have established basic order in their respective ranks.
Each person has a glass of wine and an egg, and Reglo, Mandelkru, and Salavon can all take an extra egg.
Everyone can eat well, and eating a good meal is a qualification that only a few people have.
The drinkers quickly went to the communal kitchen where the camp played cards.
It's not that it's spacious and there are tables, but it's that there's a lit fire where everyone can play cards late into the night.
You don't need too bright lights to play cards, the wood burns enough to burn the fire.
Lawrence advised, "Don't play too late, go back to bed." ”
Mandelkru smiled and said, "Yes, master! ”
Lawrence found that the men here did not like to sleep with women, and knew to play cards and drink every night as if there was no other entertainment.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lawrence soon went to take a bath, and he was going to have a good discussion with Saliel today.
Let her move!!
Lawrence was in a good mood to look at the sky, looking at the bright stars in the sky, and now he has lived an enviable life!
Hum! Try it with Kehalan today, Kehalan's eyes are dripping when she looks at me, how can I live up to her kindness?
Now that I'm young, I shouldn't have much of a problem with one enemy and two enemies.
Fight Sally first, then press Harlan, and dominate Delen, just around the corner!
Rush, Firepower Boy King!
***
Since last year, a war game has been popular in the kingdom of Love, a mind game that can be played by four or three people.
The game became popular in a small town, then in the taverns of the Kingdom of Loven, and then among the nobles and knights.
A lot of people don't have playing cards, so they can only watch others play this game in the tavern.
Often four people sit there playing cards, surrounded by more than 20 people.
For the bandit leaders and some of the thugs, this is a very face-saving thing.
The rules of the game, which seemed complicated, were quickly remembered by a group of illiterates.
It is also because of the deviation of memory that the rules are more complicated, resulting in everyone having to ask the rules of the game politely before starting to play cards, and then start after they are determined.
Slowly, this kind of game became popular among nobles and aristocratic women, and it was only after a long eternal night that this game seemed to have its own magical powers, and was loved by more and more nobles.
In the royal palace of Trandahoof City, it was when Lorfen III passed through Trandahoof City during his inspection of the territory.
Duke Redra and Lofen III, Duke of Marim, Chancellor of the Exchequer Eric.
Four men sat on the sides of the table, and on a table covered with animal skin blankets lay white playing cards like thin sheets.
These playing cards made of bones are easier to engrave and have the hard touch of jade, which is very pleasant to touch.
And unlike most bones with impurities, well-maintained dominoes can maintain their texture for a very long time.
It was not the first time for the four of them to play cards, and they quickly drew a hand of playing cards tacitly.
After drawing the cards, the four prominent nobles tacitly leaned back in their comfortable chairs and crossed their legs to check their cards.
Behind the four stood the women and their servants, including wives and daughters, as well as sons and housekeepers.
"Two slaves, two serfs, two freemen, with citizen merchant warriors! Uprising! ”
Duke Marim drew Heartheart's Citizen Priest card, so he made the first move.
Seeing that the Duke of Marim directly took seven cards, Lofen III, who was sitting next to the Duke of Marim, quickly suppressed it.
"Two merchants, two warriors, two knights, slaves, serfs, freemen! Repression! ”
Chancellor of the Exchequer Eric frowned and looked at the cards in his hand, squinted his eyes and said majestically and deeply: "I can't take care of it." ”
Behind Eric, a noblewoman in a court skirt quickly said, "Use a spell!" Can be spelled! ”
The woman was very anxious to show the way.
Eric covered his cards, frowned and said to the people around him, "Don't peek at my cards!" ”
Loving III and the others all knew that Eric had a card, and smiled and thought about which of the opponent's hole cards was.
When Eric saw the expressions of the others, he knew that he would definitely be remembered, and suddenly clenched the dominoes in his hand with some annoyance and said, "You can go to walk the dogs, watch gladiatorial fights, drink and sleep!" Don't get in the way of me playing war games here! ”
Redra quickly reminded, "Don't push yourself, I'm just going to have this deck of cards, and the last time the deck was too angry and broken." ”
Redra gets angry when she loses, and sometimes she likes to smash dominoes on the table when she's angry.
Lorfen III smiled, "Redra gave me a set of cards, and the next time I go to Norsenley, I'll use that set of cards." ”
Redra said in a very good mood, "I sent people to that place again, and there are no more good dominoes, but I have brought back twenty sets of playing cards made of wood." ”
Lofen III looked at the cards in his hand and remembered the tribe that lived in the mountains.
"That place is the territory of the Vakiri, and this year the Wakiri people don't want to go to war with the East, so let the Count of Vakiri hand over fifty sets of playing cards, three sets of dominoes, and one hundred catties of medicinal powder as war tax."
Duke Redra smiled, "They'll be grateful. ”
