Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter XV aspirations

“My father feasts at home at night?” Claude was stunned.

“Yeah, I heard my dad tell my mom when I was out in the morning that he was not coming home for dinner at night. Your father invited a lot of people, and Boa's father was invited, as if they were discussing something at your house...”

“Well...” It's not a good idea to go home now. Father has to let himself stand in the restaurant when he sees himself going home. This is not a banquet without a waiter's servant. Father means to give himself a longer insight, listen to the exchanges between the guests, and get acquainted with each other. According to him, this is the connection.

“Why are you still standing there? Put the bag down. By the way, I'm gonna go home and get some beef and lamb and seasoning. You said you'd show your hand at night and let's see what a real barbecue is.” Erickson said.

“Did I say that? ”

“Of course, in the third class of the afternoon, I talked to Boa about your dinner guests and decided not to come home to eat, and asked you if you'd agree. Later Vero said he had a barbecue at night, he didn't go home to sleep, and stayed here at night. You said Vero didn't like it the last time you baked it, you would let him know what the real barbecue was at night... No way, you forgot? ”

“Uh...” Claude rudely touched his head.

Honestly, I don't know how to get here this afternoon. I put all my thoughts in the magic recipe in my bag. In class and what my partners said is spreading, I have long forgotten to clean up, how do I know what I promised?

But now I need to calm down. I've got the magic recipe, so I don't have to rush home to check it out. Anyway, at night, when my father was at home feasting, he couldn't clean himself up. Instead, he had to be arrested and sent to the restaurant to serve the drunkards.

Father also said that the insight and contact with the upper echelons of the town were nonsense. A truly upper-class banquet should be the kind of banquet you saw on TV in your previous life. Beautiful women are like clouds, guests are truly dressed, polite, music and wine are brilliant...

Instead of a group of rough lords eating and drinking around the dining table, one by one racing louder than the other, drinking too much alcohol, in the end either under the drilling table or beating on the table, occasionally there are a few alcoholic drinks that are not good enough to spit all over, the smell is so bad, you have to clean it up yourself...

Forget it, Claude decides to go back later at night, at least until after the banquet the guests are all gone, otherwise it won't be peaceful to go home.

“I'm sorry, I really forgot.” Claude admits he was wrong and throws his bag in bed: “Okay, I'll show you my hand at night and show you what a real barbecue is. By the way, Ike, when you go home and get the meat, see if you have chicken wings, and if you do, get some. That thing is really good when it's barbecued. ”

“Chicken wings? Isn't the whole chicken roasted? Why only wings?” Erickson went home nagging.

“Claude, what's wrong with you this afternoon? Everybody's upset.” Bork Al, paralyzed in bed, asked: "Is it because I bought the recipe that I owe you? ”

Claude shrugged and nodded: “I don't know why, I thought about buying the recipe when I was in the store, but I regretted it a little this afternoon. After all, a silver taller three riazos is a huge sum for me now, and I promised to repay it within three days. When I think of these, I'm not sure...”

Bok Al laughed: "Maybe that recipe suits your taste, so you have to buy it. I have had this experience before, my father took me shopping, I saw a wooden swordfish toy, I had to buy it, the owner saw that I liked it, it was expensive, I would not sell it cheaply. My father dragged me away when he was angry.

But when I came home, I thought about the swordfish toy, and finally my mother couldn't, secretly asked the servant to buy me the swordfish toy at a high price, so I was satisfied. After more than a week, I lost interest in the swordfish toy and then dumped it in the storage room.

My father warned me that in the business arena, my behavior was abhorrent, and that being a qualified businessman had to control his desires and not easily let people know what he liked, otherwise he could easily cause losses by drilling hollows. So I went back to find that swordfish toy and put it on the table to remind myself not to forget that lesson. ”

“Thank you Boa, I think I understand, and I will remember that lesson in the future.” Claude was fortunate that Bok Al's words perfectly explained why he had to buy this recipe.

Bok Al sat up from the bed and said positively: "Claude, you don't have to worry about the arrears. For you today, a silver tall three riazos is a heavy burden indeed. I'm sorry, I'm not questioning your ability, but I know that it will be difficult for you to repay this money in the short term, and I don't want you to do anything irrational to repay it, even to be reprimanded by your father for it. It's not good if it affects our plans to go to Baiyuzhou. ”

Swinging hands, stopping Claude from getting ready to talk, Boquer continued, “I've calculated, we've bought most of the supplies we need, and the main things that need to be spent next are these. The first was the rental of the old Sunny's single-sail boat, three riasos and two sonars, the biggest expenditure.

The second is food, because we are going to be in Bailuanzhou for two days and two nights, so it is expected that the food will be bought for two riazos and that we will be ready to buy some more delicious food. In fact, we can save money on this. Everyone bring some out of their homes to fit in. And Vero and Ike both brought guns, and I have a stone crossbow at home, and I'm sure with these weapons, we won't have nothing to harvest on White Ruthead, maybe we can fill our bellies by hunting alone.

And the third is the medicine, which we have to prepare, the antidote, the blood tonic, the cure, which we're going to spend three riazos on. But now think about it, we can save this money, because if everything goes well in Baiyuzhou, we don't need these drugs, so I can steal some from the regular medicine in the store at home, and Ike can pick some up from his boat box and return them when we get back.

The last one on the list to buy is four bottles of Gandhi, one bottle of five Sonar, we're going to buy four bottles, we need two riazos, and now think about it. After all, we're going on an adventure in Bailuanzhou, which not only burdens us, but may also affect our hunting. Vero said the animals smell so sharp that they can smell alcohol far away. So I don't think we should bring wine, but we talked about hitting some good prey and selling fur for a good price.

So, what we're really going to have to spend is that old Sonny's charter, and everything else can be saved. I think I can get this money from home, and Ike can get some from his mother. Three days to Friday, we can still go on vacation to Bailuanzhou as planned, so you don't have to worry about the debt, we're good friends and we won't force you to pay us back. ”

Claude, this is going to be a sincere gratitude to his three good partners. To be honest, although he got the magic recipe, he didn't really put that silver taller three riazos on his mind. But after all, this money is the venture capital of the partners to Bailuanzhou, and it is really difficult to borrow it to buy the recipe and promise to repay it within three days.

If you can't repay the money yourself, if you go on an adventure in Bailuzhou, and you have an abortion, it will be very guilty for you, Boa and Ike, and Vero have been planning for more than a decade, and they are excited to hope, as Vero said, that there will be a good adventure process in Bailuzhou, and even some good gains.

Claude was going to ask his father for money if he really couldn't do anything about it, though he would suffer a reprimand, because he said that buying this antique recipe was a birthday gift for his mother, and he believed his father would still pay for it.

But then he couldn't keep the magic recipe in his hands, and his father would collect it and show it off when a guest arrived. This puts a lot of trouble in researching this magic recipe.

The best way to do this is if the family doesn't know that this recipe exists, or if they don't take it out after they've researched it, but the problem is that they can't get that much money in three days. Even if you're a traveler, you haven't really noticed or found a good chance of getting rich in half a year, because you're only a 16-year-old junior high school student.

“Thank you so much, Boa.” Claude couldn't help but hug Bock-All for a second: “You've done me a great favor. I was going to have to beg my father to pay me back in three days, but that was inevitable and even punishable. And my big brother, you know, he's gonna make a scene at home. I don't want to upset my family about giving my mother a birthday present, and I'm having a headache this afternoon. ”

Let go of Bok Al, Claude said sincerely: "I sincerely thank you for your kindness, but rest assured that I will return this money to you as soon as possible. If there's anything we can do about going to Bailu this time, I'll pay you back what I earned first. ”

Bok Al laughed: "We're good friends, we're buddies. Didn't you say that the buddies deserve blessings and misfortune? ”

……

Four teenagers, full of food or sitting or lying on a wooden stack bridge, with lake water patting lightly on their ears and stars glittering at the top of their heads.

“Claude, your barbecue is amazing. I never knew chicken wings were so delicious. You know, nobody used to eat those wings in my house...” Alexon was very satisfied with a little wooden stick.

Claude didn't answer, just staring at the stars. He said that his barbecue skills were from previous generations and old universities. After spending two years in the Americas buying minerals, he learned a hand of Brazilian barbecue. Later, he took himself to fetch chicks with this hand of Brazilian barbecue to no avail...

“Four chicken wings. You ate two on your own, and I didn't get any.” Villicro said he was hurt.

Erickson smiled like a fox: "Who told you to think chicken legs would be taken more first? This time there will be two chickens in the house. Next time I'll let them have more. ”

“Ike, what are you gonna do when you grow up?” Claude asked suddenly.

“I grew up?” Erickson thought about it and said, “I want to be a captain, just like my dad. But this red sea shark in my house is too small, and I hope to be able to sail in a big, big ocean boat on the ocean. ”

“What about you? Boa...”

“I'll take my father's class when I grow up and be a successful businessman.” Bok Alton: “But I want to be able to spread my business across the kingdom, not just in the three southwest counties. ”

“What about Vero? ”

“My father said that he would go hunting with him for a year after graduating from junior high and join the army when he was 18, earning himself a national identity. ”

“By the way, Claude, you haven't said what you want to do when you grow up...”

“Me? I don't know...” Claude looks at the stars and says, “I have a wish to go all over the world. Maybe I want to be an explorer. But I don't know if I can fulfill this wish...”
