Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After listening to the joy in her heart, Christoia put her head on Dave's strong chest and said softly, "Listen to you..."

"It's too late, go to sleep, go to sleep..." Daveus patted him, and the two relaxed, and soon fell asleep...

………………………………

Early the next morning, Davers got up and went to the courtyard to do morning exercises.When he returned to the main building with a sweat, it was already lively.

The backyard supervisor Molina had instructed the female slaves to wake up the children, let them dress up, wash them... they heard complaints and crying in the main building.Molina was unimpressed. When she met a child who didn't want to get up or even played around, the slave girl had no choice. She went directly into the house and forcibly pulled it up.Faced with these Dionysian princes and princesses, she dared to do so because it was the power given to her by Christosia.

Eight years ago, under the coordination of Davis River Christoya, Azuna married Aristilas, and of course had to leave Daves' official residence.Molina, the female slave from Thessaly, was the baby's nanny at the time. Christoia found that she was decisive in her work and even dared to do more than Azuna, so she took her place. It proves that Kristya is very visionary. In the past few years, with the increase of children, the backyard was indeed managed by Molina, which saved Kristya a lot of care.

After Daveus simply rinsed and walked into the restaurant, the family was basically sitting at the dining table,

"What about Avia?" Daveus glanced into the hall and asked.Aviaia was born to his third daughter, Agnes, and was only four years old this year.

"The crybaby refused to get up as usual. Aunt Molina went in to get her up. She yelled, and Ms. Agnes went upstairs to call her." Briantes replied loudly.Briantes is the fourth son of Davers, born to Christoya, six years old this year.

"Briantes, Aviaia is your sister. She is in trouble. You don't help her. Instead, you talk strangely. It's wrong, you know!" Cynthia immediately criticized him.

"Sister is right, Briantes is annoying at this point." Younis also complained that she was born in the Great Greek War and was now ten years old.

Briantes was criticized by the two sisters and felt a little wronged. He turned his help to his second brother Kloto Kataks.

Crotocataxe turned his head to look at Cynthia: "Little Butt did not mean to speak badly about Avia, he now realizes that he is wrong."

"Okay, my sister has forgiven you, but it depends on what you do in the future!" Cynthia said in her tone of treatment.

Briantes nodded busy.

The third brother Apox opposite him made a grimace at him and suddenly made him smile.Apox was born at the end of the Great Greek War and Agnes was over nine years old this year.

Daphes and Christosia had been sitting quietly, without interfering with the little conflict that had occurred between the children.They have always been so, because there are Cynthia and Crotocatax and they will all be settled in the end.And Davers also hopes that children will learn to be united, friendly, tolerant, and compromise in the process of resolving their conflicts.

At this time, Ai Ge Ni led Ai Weiya into the living room.

Ai Weiya has big red eyes and tears on her face, holding a small puppet in one hand and being pulled forward by Agnes in the other.

"Xiaweiya baby, sit down in your own seat, we should have breakfast." Christosia said softly.

Her words worked very well, Ai Weiya gently "huh", let go of her mother's hand, sat in her place, put the puppet behind her, and Agnes sat beside her.

Ordinary Greeks usually eat, because they are easy to eat, and even don't even have a dining table, they can hold the food outdoors, sit on a wooden chair or squat or stand to solve a meal.Greek nobles and rich people have much more formal meals. They have special dining rooms, each with their own dining table, and slaves waiting to clean their hands at any time, because they eat with their hands.

The dining situation in the Kingdom of Dionysia is quite different, because after Daphes invented the knife, fork, and spoon, people no longer need to eat with their hands.And although it is still a meal-sharing system, many families have begun to eat at a dining table. Very few families or even men and women are not separated. It is said that this is influenced by Davis.

As the number of family members increased, Dafs made skilled carpenters make a large round table, which was placed in the center of the restaurant, and the family sat around for dinner, so that there was no closeness and distance, and there was a lively atmosphere in the family It is also conducive to cultivating children's love for family members and paying attention to family.

Daphes sits facing the entrance of the restaurant, with Agnes on the right hand, Christoya on the left, the eldest daughter Cynthia next to Christoya, and then the second son, Clotocak Sis, then the second daughter Yunis, the third son Apox, the fourth son Briantes, the third daughter Avia, if you count the eldest son Adolius who is on the expedition, the family members of Davers There are ten people.

The backyard supervisor Molina stood by. There were no other slaves in the restaurant. After all, even the youngest Molina was more than four years old and was able to take care of herself.Davers always hoped that the children could do their own work as much as possible, be self-reliant, and not rely on the slaves to serve, so as not to become a four-body, indifferent, indiscriminate waste.

"Let's have a meal." After Daveus finished, Crotocatax, with Molina's help, brought in food and bowls and pots, set up the tableware for each family first, and then gave each one The family distributes food. This is a task assigned by Davis to several older children in the family, mainly to exercise their sense of serving others. Today it is Krato Katax’s turn.

After Crotocatax distributed the food to the three parents, he turned to Cynthia.

Daveus widened his eyes this time, but saw that the eldest son quickly gave Cynthia food.

"Thank you, Clo!" Cynthia said with a smile.

Kroto Kataks walked calmly towards Yunis, nothing unusual.

Davis immediately cast his doubtful eyes on Christoya.

Of course, Christoya understands what her husband means. She didn’t expect to say this to Davis yesterday. Today he will prove it in such a public place. It is simply...

Christoya immediately gave him a wink, so that he should not do too obvious.

Daveus opened his mouth deliberately, posing with doubt.

Kristoa had to squeeze his fist and knocked on his thigh.

Daphes exaggerated his teeth.

Christoia nearly spewed the porridge from her mouth on the table.

Agnes discovered the difference between the two, and turned her head, throwing a questioning look.

Davers stretched his right hand towards the base of her smooth and plump thigh.

Agnes pretty blushed, and immediately pinched her finger.

Daveus once again showed a painful expression, fleeting.

Several children apparently did not notice the farce between their parents, and their attention was focused on the food.

"It's the same as before, add a spoonful of honey?" Crotocatax asked his sister with a smile.

Before Younis had answered, Briantes shouted: "Does it still need to ask, because she doesn't like to drink cow and goat milk."

In this era, many citizens of Greek city-states have sheep, so goat milk is a very common food. In addition to making cheese, it is directly consumed after processing.Cattle are mainly for practical and transportation purposes, but not for milk production.Daveus once asked Bagul to promote milk production, sale and consumption by cows in the Lucania region, but now it is just beginning to look a little bit, there are very few people who consume milk, and the production is not large, of course, there are a small amount in the palace Supply.

But today’s breakfast drink is goat’s milk, and the smell of goat’s milk is great. Fortunately, in order to allow children to grow tall and strong, since the children were children, they have been required to drink a glass of goat’s milk every morning. Now the children have adapted, including the youngest Aviaia, except Yunis.

"I don't like to drink, what's wrong!" Yunice stared at Briantes immediately.

Facing the threat of his sister, Briantes was unwilling to admit defeat and could not tell the truth. He could only say daringly: "It's wrong anyway!"

Yunis was too lazy to take care of him, and turned to smile at Croto Catax: "Brother, give me two spoons of honey, thank you!"

Kroto Katax finished giving Yunis the food and gave Apox food.

Approx cheered: "Great, there are meat buns today!"

The Greeks used fermented flour to bake bread, and Daveus asked the chef to wrap the chopped beef and mutton with fermented and kneaded dough, and put it in an iron pan for steaming. Children, especially boys, like to eat.

Apox held the hot bun in both hands, taking a big bite regardless of his mouth.Then he saw that Briantes had also divided the food, and suddenly his eyes rolled, and said to his brother: "Bout, let's play a game, OK? Whoever wins, can bite the other person's meat bag A bite."

"Don't play!" Briantes used his hands cautiously to draw the wooden pan of the meat wrap to his chest.Playing games, every time he loses to Apox, there is a psychological shadow.

Apox was thinking about how to persuade Briantes, and listened to Yunice's disdainful words: "Bout, look at your timid look! Abok, here you are!" Yunice was satisfied with Apox to make cloth Lyantes was ugly and immediately broke a small half of the meat pack and handed it to him.

"Thank you, second sister!" Apox took it immediately, and Briantes glanced at it eagerly, remembering something, and turned to Aiweiya, "Sister, you see this meat bag is too big, you eat it alone No, brother can help you eat a little, okay?"
