Chapter 97: You're a Witch

It's such a coincidence that you can bump into Khamis himself here.

It's just that from the topic they talked about, the hostility towards Fei'er was obvious.

However, they care more about the so-called witches than Phil.

Just when Xu Siling wanted to eavesdrop on more news, a servant ran over and rushed over the corner of Hamis.

"Lord Hamis, Miss Raya from Raya Town has arrived, and she has arranged for someone to take over the kitchen and banquet hall!"

"What's the fuss, didn't she already order her to borrow the banquet hall?"

"But they brought in a lot of people, and they squeezed out all of us."

"You want to find me for this? What about the Sigrites. ”

"Butler, he contracted the disease yesterday and was locked at home."

With the sound of footsteps, the three of Khamis emerged from the corner of the city wall.

Xu Siling didn't think of dodging when he saw it, he was noticed when he was noticed, and at most he was found eavesdropping in the open.

Khamis had short gray hair, deep wrinkles on his face, and a very resentful appearance, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, decorated with feathers around his waist, and a big round belly.

In addition to the servant, there is also a middle-aged man with a slow half-beat rhythm, who seems to be the Frank of Hamis's mouth.

Xu Siling and Frank glanced at each other and immediately recognized that this Frank was a Jew.

The appearance of the Jews is somewhat unique, with black hair and black eyes, a bulge in the middle of the nose, and a taciturn and wise look.

Khamis also noticed Xu Siling.

Xu Siling was dressed mightily, holding a two-handed sword at his waist with one hand, fully armed, and the burqa coat and coat of arms on his body were particularly conspicuous, and it was difficult for people not to notice him.

Khamis walked up to Xu Siling and stopped, but did not face him, his tone was a little contemptuous.

"I didn't expect that one day, there would be a noble executioner knight standing on my walls."

Xu Siling saluted casually, and his tone was indifferent: "I'm just a little person who is not worth mentioning, and I am also worthy of Lord Hamis's ears, what an honor." ”

"I really don't want to hear anything about you, if it weren't for your Miss Raya's ridiculous words." Khamis snorted softly, "You took away the executioner family of my territory, and I haven't looked into this matter yet. ”

Xu Siling didn't reply, but her eyes stayed on Frank.

During the conversation between the two, Frank was very interested in Xu Siling, if it weren't for the presence of Hamis, this Frank would probably not have to talk to Xu Siling on his face.

Seeing that Xu Siling didn't speak, Khamis left with someone.

Xu Siling rubbed his chin, he didn't know how much power the Jews of Tamu Fort had behind the capture of witches.

It's just clear that Khamis still takes the Jews very seriously, at least in the previous conversation.

After Xu Siling walked around, he began to walk towards the area of the outer fort.

Passing by a few shops, either the signs of closure were marked, or the owners all looked lifeless.

Only the tavern still has some pyrotechnics.

There were many foreign nobles, and most of the soldiers they brought with them gathered here.

The banquet of the nobles has nothing to do with the soldiers, although Khamis will take care of the dinner of these people, but it is not good to eat, it is better to come out and drink some wine and brag.

As soon as Xu Siling entered the tavern, he saw the soldiers of the Frophon family, and the soldiers of other nobles, bragging about it.

"Brother, do you know who I'm messing with?"

"I'm not blind, Miss Raya from Raya Town, we've all heard a little bit about her deeds."

"Tut-tut, that's wrong."

"What, isn't Miss Raya in charge of Raya Town?"

"It's Miss Raya in charge, but I'm not a soldier under Miss Raya right now. Do you know Xu Siling, that is?"

Before the bull was blown up, the soldiers of the Frophon family happened to raise their eyes and saw Xu Siling who had entered the tavern.

Xu Siling supported the two-handed sword at his waist with one hand, looked at him with interest, and motioned for him to continue.

The Flofen family will privately say that Xu Siling is the son-in-law of the family, and the relationship is very unusual.

But Xu Siling only knew Terry and Ella's father Ximei, and the other people of the Flofen family did not have much contact.

ridiculed himself in front of Xu Siling, he really couldn't do it.

The other Frophon family soldiers and Raya Town soldiers in the tavern subconsciously stood up the moment they saw Xu Siling.

The gesture of the soldiers made the others scratch their heads.

"Sit down."

Xu Siling greeted, and then came to the Frophon family soldier who had just bragged about him and asked, "Where is Terry?" ”

"Terry is going to do what you commanded." The soldier scratched his head and hurriedly explained: "It's not that we didn't carry out the order, it's just . The situation in Tamubao is a little different from before, many people are sick and locked at home, and it is difficult to inquire about the news. ”

Xu Siling nodded and didn't say anything, as soon as he entered the city and saw the state of the outer fort, he knew at a glance that it was not optimistic, but fortunately, Khamis still knew how to lock the patient at home and not run around, otherwise Tamu Fort would have fallen by now.

It's just that this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause only prolongs the death period of Tamubao, and cannot change any results.

"Help me find Terry and ask him to help me inquire about a Jew named Frank."

"Yes!"

After explaining the matter, Xu Siling left the tavern.

He could understand the feelings of the Flophon family.

You must know that from the time they were born to the present, they may not have had the opportunity to drink in the tavern.

Anyone who came out of the executioner's family was treated as an executioner, and was not allowed to enter or leave the church, was not allowed to drink in the tavern, and no one wanted to sit with them.

After being discriminated against for so long, for the first time, he could enter and exit the tavern in the light of the right, and watched the innkeeper who knew him discover his identity, but he had to do his business.

This feeling of comfort is indescribable.

It's like going to a black Internet café for many years since I was a child, and finally being able to go to a regular Internet café to surf the Internet after the age of eighteen.

It's no wonder that the people of the Flophon family want to stay in the tavern and brag and drink with people in the tavern, so they are not telling others that the Frophon family has turned over.

After all, they are their own subordinates and their own soldiers, satisfying their desires.

Xu Siling didn't want to stay in the tavern longer, he stayed in the tavern, he would only make his soldiers awkward.

Back in the inner fort again, the banquet was almost the time it started.

Whether a knight can attend a banquet or not depends on the will of the nobles.

With the importance of so many nobles attending the banquet that night, a knight who is not a nobleman should not attend the banquet.

But Fei'er asked him to attend the banquet, not only to meet some nobles who were friends with the Raya family, but also to sell MSG by the way.

It's just that his attendance at the banquet will be a little eye-catching, and other nobles have not let their knights participate in the banquet, but he has appeared.

Come to the banquet hall.

The walls of the ballroom are adorned with ornate tapestries and frescoes, long wooden tables are draped with blankets filled with food and drink, and candles flicker on silver and porcelain.

The aristocrats were communicating in groups, and Fei'er stood out in a light blue dress.

Because the Black Death was raging in Europe, the aristocracy had always liked to drag their families with them when attending banquets, so the female noblewoman in the banquet hall was only one Fei'er, especially her petite body, wearing a light blue dress, occasionally shuttling among the nobles, like a spinning beautiful flower.

Xu Siling spotted Khamis in the banquet hall.

Khamis chatted with a few familiar nobles, with a more polite smile on his face, and he didn't seem so resentful.

Xu Siling found a corner to prop up the wall, he wouldn't be bored enough to go to Fei'er, he didn't want to participate in this boring communication.

The time for the banquet to start is in a blink of an eye.

Looking at the food on the banquet table, the nobles began to sit down in unison.

Although Phil was the organizer of the banquet, the venue was borrowed from Hamis, and the main seat was still seated by Hamis.

Fei'er sat on her side, but judging by her demeanor, she didn't lose any momentum.

Xu Siling was very sensible and found a corner seat to sit down.

Fei'er had already arranged it, and there was a small jar of MSG on each seat, and Fei'er was waiting for the meal to be promoted.

A common staple at banquets is a variety of elaborate pastries and breads, such as ornate petal-shaped breads.

MeatIn addition to ordinary domestic poultry, there is also some venison.

On a normal basis, there would be some seafood at the banquet, but unfortunately due to the Black Death, only some shellfish was used to make the soup base.

The servants filled each nobleman who attended the banquet with fresh shellfish soup.

In this moment, the entire banquet hall was filled with fresh and sweet taste, and everyone's appetite moved.

Served with stewed meats, grilled meats, and red wine.

The meat with MSG added brings a stronger umami flavor.

Khamis was shocked by the ordinary-looking but delicious roast in front of him.

Other nobles didn't feel this fresh and sweet smell, and some poor nobles couldn't help but move their forks to eat, ignoring aristocratic etiquette.

Fei'er took in everyone's reactions and was very satisfied.

She got up from her seat and took the lead in raising her red wine glass, her voice as crisp as the ringing of a silver bell.

"Thank you all for coming here at Tamu Fort for this banquet for me."

"I am also very grateful to Master Khamis for lending me the space so that I can have this opportunity to deepen my relationship with my uncles."

"The Raya family has been cared for by many people, and as the heir of the family, I would like to show you my high respect."

Fei'er's words were very short, and she didn't prepare to talk about long content, but after a brief summary, everyone raised their red wine glasses, touched them in the air, and drank them one after another.

After Fei'er finished speaking, it stands to reason that Hamis, as the master of Tamu Fort, should also say a few words, but he didn't say a word, just silently looked at the food on the banquet table, which was strange.

Fei'er didn't care about the face of the old guy Hamis, and hurriedly beckoned the nobles to move their forks to eat.

Everyone had already been hooked by the sweet smell of food, and as soon as Fei'er's words fell, everyone feasted on them.

Xu Siling took a few simple bites, and his attention was always on Hamis.

It was normal that Frank, a Jew, did not attend the banquet, and if a Jew could appear at the banquet of the European aristocracy, everyone would laugh at it.

Khamis was obviously attracted to the delicious food, but he didn't move his fork, let alone eat.

This made Xu Siling a little surprised.

Isn't the little gastronomic shock you bring to the people of Europe working?

It shouldn't be.

After a while, many nobles had already opened their mouths to ask.

"Miss Raya, where did you get this chef?"

"I was intoxicated by the taste of this food, and I have never tasted such delicious barbecue and stew."

"But the chef who fled from the South? I know Miss Raya, you've been taking in asylum seekers from the South. ”

"If I can't eat these delicacies in my life, it's not torturing me."

In the face of everyone's questions, Fei'er raised her eyebrows with joy, and her azure eyes showed a look of satisfaction.

Now this reaction is what she wants.

"Actually, what made the food so delicious at tonight's banquet wasn't the chef himself."

"Oh? Miss Raya, what do you mean by that? ”

Fei'er picked up the small jar of MSG on everyone's table, fiddled with it in front of her, and said with a smile indifferently.

"Here's how to make food delicious."

"Miss Raya, you mean this can. Something that's not white or yellow? ”

Several nobles were shocked.

Fei'er didn't notice that Hamis, who was on the side, suddenly frowned when he heard this.

"This is called MSG, it is a specialty of our Raya Town, and it is very difficult to make MSG, so for the time being, only these are distributed to my friends! If you have more needs in the future, you can come to Raya Town to purchase. ”

The nobles are not stupid, it turns out that the purpose of today's banquet is to sell.

But good goods are not worried, there are already aristocrats who open the can, pour out a little MSG and taste it, and find that the taste is consistent with the fresh and sweet taste of the food, and determine that the fresh and sweet taste of the food is brought by the can of MSG in their hands.

"Miss Raya, do you have more MSG now, I'm interested, what is the price."

"MSG is not easy to make, and the output is only a little bit at a time, so the normal price of a jar of MSG in Raya Town is twenty gold coins."

"Twenty gold coins!"

This sentence immediately made many nobles retreat, and even Xu Siling's heart skipped a beat when he heard this price.

Fei'er hurriedly said: "On the one hand, the yield of monosodium glutamate is low, and if you want more monosodium glutamate, Laya Town can't get it." On the other hand, MSG is only sold to nobles, and commoners cannot obtain it. ”

"Of course, how can MSG be enjoyed by those lowly civilians!" One of the nobles snorted.

Some of the nobles retreated, after all, now that they had prostituted a small jar of MSG for nothing, and spent twenty gold coins to buy a jar, they didn't think it was worth it.

But this idea happened to fall into Xu Siling and Fei'er's plan.

Both of them were confident that these nobles would never get used to taking back small jars of MSG and eating food with MSG for a few days, and then eating back food that had no sweet taste like swill.

It's easy to be extravagant, but it's hard to be thrifty.

Once you get used to good things, you can't go back.

Just when some nobles were talking to Fei'er about the price of MSG, Hamis, who had been sitting in the main seat, finally spoke.

"Miss Raya, you MSG is a witch's thing."
