The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 61 Boiled Peanuts and Beer Flowers
“Tonight's staple is peanuts?” Marcus skilfully peels the peanuts, and wheat is a good choice for staple foods, but wheat production is generally low, so peanuts and peas are needed to fill the gap.
“How's the taste? ”
Lister asked that he did not have boiled peanuts in front of him.
Not very fond of boiled peanuts, so as the owner of the castle, Chef Abby specially made him cereal porridge. As for the others, there's no such thing as luck.
“Soft and moderate, just a little light and tasteless. ”
"This is the flavour of cooking peanuts," Gaultai said. "I think it's good to have an occasional meal to improve the flavour, but it's enough to eat often. But tonight's peanuts are bigger than usual, you see? ”
Marcus suddenly said, "Peanut harvest in Peanut Tun? ”
“This is the first batch of peanuts near the peanut worm location. Thirty percent more than usual and a month shorter growing cycle, peanuts will not be missing in the castle this year. I think Mrs. Abby should have time to grind some more peanut butter on the bread and smell fresh all day. ”
The only gastronomer in Flower Town, not of the genus Gaultermo, the knight of the Lord, is constantly talking about eating and drinking.
Lister smiled slightly: "Wouldn't it be lovely to serve gin again? ”
“Oh, Lester, you still know me, haha. ”
“Unfortunately, the last gin brought back from Coral City has been consumed. ”
“To be honest, I really don't want to hear that. ”
“In fact, there is more frustrating news.” Lister sips cereal congee, “the wine cellar has reached the bottom line, and Mr. Carter does not recommend that we continue drinking wine, otherwise the festivities will not hold up for the second half of the year. And the beer, the beer with the beer flowers, is almost exhausted, leaving only sour and sour beer. ”
“God, that's not true, is it? ”
Liszt didn't respond.
Carter, the housekeeper behind the reception, replied: "The weather is heating up, the beer is consuming a lot, we can't produce beer and flower beer ourselves without the merchant team. Had it not been for the last time the Count's convoy had arrived with many barrels of beer, the castle would not have had enough sour beer. ”
Gorte suffered a face: “I think we should build a pier and go straight to Viscount Trick's house to buy beer flowers. ”
Unfortunately, the east coast of Flower Town is a flat sandy beach with no deep water harbor to build.
As for Viscount Trick, a follower of the Earl of Coral Island, his full name is Trick Twig, who owns a separate island, Beer Island.
There is a magnificent castle on the island - a beer castle.
Beer from the Hawthorn family sells many large islands with beer blossoms.
Beer is the most common type of drink in the Grand Duchy, divided into two types: beer with beer flowers and beer without beer flowers.
Beer blossoms are a type of grass that plays a huge role in beer - giving the beer a refreshing aroma, bitterness and preservation, creating excellent foam, facilitating clarification of the wheat juice, and strong beer blossoms that balance the natural sweetness of the malt juice and stimulate appetite.
Beer without beer flowers will soon become sour and difficult to swallow.
Beers with beer blossoms on Coral Island are made by the Hawthorn family because of the industry, which makes it possible for the Hawthorn family to build a named beer fortress.
“The pier is impossible, that's why I'm going to completely open the thorny ridge road so that the merchants can enter Flower Town... now there are no tax knights to protect the merchants from entering and leaving.” Lester says, looking at Marcus, "Mr. Marcus, isn't the Knights' selection over yet? ”
Marcus dropped the water-boiled peanuts in his hand and said: "Tomorrow is the final selection date, I already have a preliminary candidate, unfortunately their physical fitness is still too poor to meet the criteria for admission to Knights College, only two of them. ”
“Probably because of the lack of food, the Knight Squad was then fed by the castle, believing that their physical fitness would improve considerably. ”
“Then I'll stop worrying about eating and focusing on training. ”
“Well, let them grasp the temper as soon as possible. Flower Town should not have only five temperamental knights, and there will be a lot to rely on in the future. ”
……
Surprisingly, Lester saw the logging team the next day.
He thought it would take at least two or three days for Gaultai to complete the task of drawing robust serfs, and did not expect an accident today.
Gorte rode on horseback and led the logging team himself to the main road outside the castle to assemble. Thirty strong serfs in total, but only half of them had a new or old axe in their hands, with only two saws in total, and the carpenter's son brought it out of the house.
Ironware is hard to find.
Metal is in the hands of countries with dragons and it is difficult to get it.
This is also the reason why the Grand Duchy of Sapphire often organizes Knights to fight on the mainland, grabbing minerals - the iron ore of the Grand Duchy, which is essentially grabbed from the Kingdom of the Eagle, and transported little by little by sea to the islands.
In Flower Town, many serfs use wooden, stone and bone tools as labour tools.
It's not the same as imaginary neatness.
These strong serfs have a strong anxiety on their faces - the Lord asks them to go to Thorn Ridge to cut down trees, which is too dangerous, in case of a warcraft, the wife may be remarried.
“Teacher Gaultai, did you not tell them that I would send someone to protect them? ”
“Of course they did, but they were still scared. ”
“Language is pale," Lester understands. ”
In the talking room, a team shouted slogans and ran from the stable to the castle. There are also four knights with supervision, headed by the knight, Marcus.
“My Lord!” Marcus rolled over to bow down and salute Lester.
“Why thirty? ”
“They will guard the logging team, and through today's performance, I will make the final check on the team members in my heart.” Marcus explains, "their bodies are about the same and their minds are not too dumb, and now it's the last option, courageous exploration, that knights can't be without courage. ”
"Lester, aren't you going to say anything before you leave? ”
Lister nodded and naturally nodded.
He rode on the dragon horse and slowly walked to the two teams with his black warcraft leather armor backed up with an impassioned attitude. Lister looked seriously at everyone on the team and spoke loudly: "Colonials, I am your lord, Lister Tulip. ”
After a pause, he suddenly didn't know what to say.
The skill of the show is still poorly mastered. A moment later, he decided to delete the inflammatory speech of the long theory, only to calm down: “Today, you will cut down the thorny trees for me, open the roads of the town and the outside world, and I, will guard your safety! ”
Language was pale, facing the still restless serfs, he was just a whip, the dragon horse's forefoot lifted, howling.
Horseshoe landed, Lister had taken the lead on horseback.
“Let's go! ”
