Unlimited Food Plan

Chapter 55 Medieval 7

It’s no wonder that little Margarina is so greedy. As the young lady of a small noble family, little Margarina is definitely not a child who has never seen the world. Although the Wirth Manor is a little smaller, the output is not special. Much,? But enough to keep the Dimon family above average.

But the backwardness of the cooking method is the limitation of the times. Little Margarina really tastes the joy of being full every time, but she has never tried it like this time. It seems that a hand grows in her throat to pick up the food and go The extreme desire stuffed in the mouth.

Du Changqiu saw that although the female family members tried their best to maintain their image, their eyes were glued to the meat bowl in front of them, so there was no delay at all. Seeing that the meat was divided well, everyone started immediately.

After eating the little margarina, I immediately took a spoonful of onion stewed venison. As soon as I entered the mouth, the stewed venison was just right. It seems to be the finishing touch,? Even the soup and meat, and then take a piece of bread to your own plate, and light the gravy,? Little Margarina wipes all the soup on the plate,? Make sure there is no drop waste.

And the eldest lady Veronica fell in love with the roasted venison leg at the first bite. The venison leg smoked with apple wood has a little smoked aroma of fruit wood, which is very special. When you bite the venison, the honey juice on the skin Arouse the tenderness of the venison, the sweetness is just an embellishment, it will be completely overwhelmed by the aroma of the venison itself, leaving only a touch of sweet aroma, and then the strong spicy and fresh aroma of the venison, which completely stimulates the venison itself Soft, tender and smooth, it whets the appetite.

Anne and third sister Vivienne like grilled chicken. The spicy, fresh and crispy chicken skin makes a "click" sound when bitten down, but the chicken inside is very soft and tender, and the gravy will flow out as soon as you bite into it. It tastes crispy on the outside and crispy on the inside. tender.

The second sister was completely conquered by the sweet apple pie. She ate the baked apple pie with a sweet aroma of butter on the outside. The crispy skin melts in the mouth together, and the whole person feels happy to melt in an instant. The most wonderful thing is the slightly sweet pie, because the slightly sour flesh of the apple has a neutral taste, which completely washes away the sweetness. No matter how much you eat, you will never get tired of it, and even want to eat more.

Sister-in-law Anne was born better than Wiltshire Manor. Her father was once the heir of a baron, but because he was extremely muddy and unable to support the wall, he did not get the title of knighthood, but only inherited a large amount of manor and inheritance.

Although she was almost defeated in the end, Annie had seen the world when she was growing up, but she finished her crispy roast chicken, roast venison leg, stewed venison with onions, especially the delicate and sweet one at the end. After her apple pie, she was sure she had never eaten such delicious food.

"Charlie, did you meet some businessman and get any secret recipe?" Annie asked curiously while drinking cider while looking at Du Changqiu.

In fact, Anne has never been familiar with this younger brother, because every year Charlie will only come back to live with the whole family for half a month on Christmas Day, and then he will return to the baron's castle. After returning last year, Charlie has been busy dealing with his brother. Everything after death, followed by spring plowing and ledgers, followed by autumn harvest.

Then he finally got tired and sick. In retrospect, it was the first time for the family to sit together like this, eating hearty food and chatting with a little cider.

"Yes, I have been busy before. Now that I think about it, I should take care of you first." Du Changqiu didn't want to say more, and changed the subject.

This is not a tribe of orcs with one intestine to the bottom, but a very sensitive and religiously devout Middle Ages.

Although this place is different from the religions, gods, and the names and territories of some countries known in Du Changqiu's materials, but generally speaking, Kansai's Guangming God Religion is similar to that in the Middle Ages. At that time, people were still very superstitious, so he had to be careful. One point, while fulfilling Charlie's wish, he must also protect his own safety.

Otherwise, if he is found to be different from the previous Charlie and suspects that he is possessed by a demon, in order to occupy his manor and wealth, I believe the pastors of the church will be willing to set him on the fire immediately and burn him to death.

Fortunately, Du Changqiu's worries were obviously superfluous. Charlie, who didn't live in the manor all year round, didn't make everyone aware of the changes in some small details. Hearing Du Changqiu's words, the girls and women in the room showed moved expressions.

"Brother Charlie, don't be so tired. I, I don't have to go to the baron's ball. I'm only 16 years old. There are quite a few ladies who wait until they are seventeen or eighteen years old." Hearing what Brother Charlie said, As the eldest sister of the three sisters, Veronica has the most gentle and understanding personality. She blinked her eyes and said to Du Changqiu emotionally with tears in her eyes.

Prom, and prom!

She didn't say that Du Changqiu hadn't remembered that the baron's ball was not just about preparing gifts!

Winter is the time for the nobles to socialize. It stands to reason that the small lords in the vicinity can hold banquets to entertain relatives and friends. At least Du Changqiu heard that the rich businessmen in the city will hold a dance or two in winter.

But for the little lords around Werther Hall, let them have a ball?

no way!

You say, "Brothers, there is a small caravan passing by with a lot of money, let's go and rob it together!", maybe all the knights around will immediately bring their own people to form a group with you. , but you said let everyone take turns to hold a dance party and get together happily?

If you have a good relationship, the other party will ask you if you are possessed by a devil. If you have a bad relationship, you will be kicked out of the house, and you may have to beat you up before you go out.

The reason for this is that European balls are completely different from oriental banquets. In contemporary oriental wedding banquets, there is a saying of "gathering together and giving favors". The ancient Chinese people paid attention to the reciprocity of "you come and go". Mutual-benefit thinking, so in the East's happy event, when the host hosts a banquet to invite the guests to gather together, the rich guests will bring precious gifts, ranging from gold to jewelry.

The poorest country people will also look at the relatives and estrangement, and send some chicken and duck meat or some rice, flour, grain and oil. If the family is really poor, they even borrow something to give gifts to relatives.

However, the starting points of ancient Europe and ancient China were different. The custom of the ball was originally exclusive to the court nobles, and it was not introduced to the people in later generations. It was not simply that everyone gathered together to dance for fun. When it was first born, it was more of a political meaning.

So this determines that there are relatively high admission standards for balls. Of course, there are also very high admission standards for holding balls-in fact, until a century ago when it was even more barren, the baron did not hold balls. The money will go away immediately, and it is an absolute confidant who can reward you with some food.

And now the baron holds a small-scale dance once a year, which is normal, because everyone is richer now, and they are full and rich in food. At least the nobles eat meat once a day, or only eat cheap fish. It can be guaranteed, the harvest in the field is not much, but at least the apples that would rot in the field before can be sold.

The tax that can be paid to the baron will increase. The baron at the ball can wait for the little nobles in the territory to send gifts that can be tax deducted within one year. The baron’s knight standard is 50 to [-] people, which cannot exceed the rules. He only has so much land, and he can't seal too many territories to others.

According to Charlie's memory, Du Changqiu remembered that the baron was very wealthy in his class because he had managed for generations and had no prodigal sons in his family.

The current Baron Polly has about forty or so loyal knights under him, and more than a dozen of them live in the castle all the year round. They have nowhere to go and depend on the baron for food and drink every day.There are about thirty others, like Charlie's elder brother, who directly inherited the territory by relying on their ancestral shadow, and some who, like him, studied with the baron and then went home to inherit the manor.

In general, when these thirty people go to the baron's ball every year, they have to send at least [-]% to [-]% of the income in the territory to the baron. It doesn't matter whether it is wheat or meat. Like baron weddings, almost [-] to [-] percent are common.

Counting the money collected every year, the baron would have an income of at least nearly 200 pounds a year, plus the output from the baron's own private domain, it would not be a problem for the rich and powerful baron to pay for the ball.

In the past few years, some businessmen have also learned to hold banquets, because after the trade has become more and more prosperous, these new rich guys do have more money in their hands than ordinary poor little lords, and they are a little bigger and have their own caravans The businessmen who come and go are nobles. In order to entertain nobles, they also learned to hold banquets to entertain noble guests.

For these reasons, these two kinds of people who are either rich or noble are popular to hold banquets, but for the small lords in Kansai, such fashionable things as banquets involve a lot. It can be said that in recent years, the nobles' All major matters are resolved at the ball—the pursuit of a marriage partner of the same class, loyalty to superiors, finding a partner for one’s own children...

Basically it's all about the dance.

But even so, the owners of small manors would not be willing to hold a ball by themselves.

Because for them, this is a completely money-losing business—first of all, they don’t have many customers to impress, and they don’t have products to display; What, I have to eat and drink like crazy.

It's not that Du Changqiu is exaggerating, he really saw from Charlie's memory how edible the Kansai people really are, and calling them idiots is too much to glorify their appetite.

According to Charlie's memory, the baron's annual ball expenses range from [-] to [-] pounds to [-] to [-] pounds. That's right, the cost of a banquet can sometimes exceed the annual income of Wiltshire Manor!

The dance will last from three days to a week, and the large-scale festive event will last for about half a month. The cider for getting up early and good night every day, the wine and various barbecues and pies at the dance, and countless white bread in the basket. Every guest, male or female, would eat and drink freely. In Charlie's memory, Du Changqiu saw that a guest often had to eat a whole roast chicken and a whole pie for a meal.

These foods are terrible numbers in a day.

Du Changqiu made a little calculation. When the baron inherited the position, the ball lasted for half a month. Everyone came to celebrate the baron's successful succession. Even a large number of relatives such as the baron's grandfather and aunt came. During the half-month stay in the castle, the idiot with the title ruined at least dozens of sheep and a dozen cows, plus hundreds of chickens and two or three swans.

Du Changqiu couldn't bear to calculate sugar and wine, because the amount was too terrible, and his heart was trembling as a poor man.

Of course, this is a relatively luxurious large-scale ball, but based on this standard, a decent banquet in the country will cost at least ten or twenty pounds, so the small estate owners in Kansai, who would be so stupid? , spend a third of your annual income on a dance party that doesn't pay off at all?

Du Changqiu would definitely not lose his mind and do this.

Then it was decided that Veronica must attend the baron's ball this time!

If Veronica wants to marry a small lord who owns a manor or someone of the same level, only by going to the baron's ball can she meet the future heirs of the same level who rush in all directions.

In this era, for a girl like Veronica, this is the only way to keep her social status from falling.While Charlie, her brother, was alive, Veronica had to find a good marriage for herself, and then give birth to a boy as an heir earlier.

This is a very sad thing, but if Veronica wants to live a good life, she must follow this path. This era is extremely harsh on women, even if she is lucky to marry like her sister-in-law Annie Not a bad woman, she can still be taken care of by her husband's younger brother without giving birth to an heir, but if her husband's younger brother dies, she will still be kicked out.

One wrong step, and they will be doomed.

And if you miss the baron's ball, people of the same class will definitely doubt the management of the Werther Manor-only girls with financial problems at home will stay at home when they should go to the ball to socialize.

If people have such worries, even if they debut next year, I am afraid that some people will continue to wait and see and dare not pursue Veronica.

Or worse, in this era, heirs who have manors to inherit are very sought-after. Some girls will be taken to the ball by their mothers to meet the world when they are eleven or twelve years old. In addition, family finances are very worrying... Du Changqiu felt that if he really didn't go this year, Veronica might not have to make her debut in the society of nobles.

If this opportunity is lost, the path Veronica can choose will be very dangerous.

At that time, the only remaining options were young people from relatives, or young people of the same level introduced by relatives. At that time, they had to directly let people come to their homes for free food and drinks and blind dates, or to go to other people’s homes for free food and drinks. Plus blind date.

It sounds okay, but in this era, basically arranged marriages are still based on status. If it really comes to the point of door-to-door marriage, it is almost a certainty.

As for the male subject who has the right to inherit but was not snatched away at the ball, it is conceivable that there must be some major flaw.

Leaving aside that there must be some pitfalls waiting for these objects, Du Changqiu first ruled out the option of marrying close relatives. You must know that there have been many unimaginable and magical emperors in the history of the Middle Ages—for example, those who wanted to perform naked/dance performances for the army and reward the army. ;For example, eating salmon to support oneself to death; another example is fat to death...

Historians of later generations have always suspected that some of them were married to close relatives all the year round, which led to mental problems.

Whether this guess is accurate or not is another matter, but this theory is absolutely valid. It is definitely not a good idea to marry close relatives, so Du Changqiu must not let Veronica fall to that point.

Veronica had to go to the prom. The second sister Anna and the third sister Vivian, one was 12 years old and the other was only nine years old. They were only a little older than the little niece Margarina. These three little girls were not in a hurry for the time being.

Looking at Veronica's face, Du Changqiu quickly analyzed it clearly, ate the last bite of meat on the plate, and said with a smile: "Veronica, in fact, the last thing you need to worry about now is money. .”

He imitated Charlie's usual tone of speech, smiled at Veronica, blinked his eyes, and said: "I have already made plans, but I was delayed by illness a few days ago. Tomorrow I will send George to Tirenva In Nacheng, when the time comes, I will ask him to buy you some fashionable skirts, my sister, no need to say more, I promised my father and brother, I will take care of you, each of you, okay?"

It has to be said that Europeans are very good at expressing their emotions. If it weren't for Du Changqiu, a veteran who has been immersed in the workplace for a long time, or a younger and shy person, he would not be able to make such a confession.

But this kind of speech is really in line with Charlie's character. After he finished speaking softly, he saw that the women in the room were all moved, especially Veronica who was facing him, with red eye circles and tears in her eyes All flowed out.She choked up and said, "Brother, I really don't know what to say to repay your care and concern for me."

"Don't cry." Du Changqiu comforted Veronica, and after chatting with them for a while, he stood up and ended the family dinner.

As soon as he went out, he rushed to the bedroom in a hurry. He dared not do it, but there was an important person hiding in his bedroom!

In the bedroom, Fan Xing, who was asked not to eat together, didn't eat at all, and was smoking there—Fan Xing didn't know what discrimination was, but he felt that he was rejected!

"Still angry?" After taking a huge, steaming apple pie from the housekeeper, Du Changqiu didn't follow George in. He pushed open his bedroom door, closed it behind his back, and said humbly to the stars, " You see, as I said, I'll be back in half an hour."

I have to say, thanks to everyone's hunger, they ate very fast, otherwise Du Changqiu would have almost missed it.

Fanxing turned his head and refused to look at Du Changqiu. Du Changqiu opened the lid and smelled the sweet apple pie, but he didn't move him.

Really angry, Du Changqiu also felt sorry for him, after all, he was a beastman and didn't understand anything, but he couldn't provoke Fan Xing, saying that he couldn't turn into a human, so he could only make amends carefully, and said in a low voice: "Fanxing, this is not a tribe. People here, if you show up, eat human food, and behave very strangely, then not only you, but even me will be arrested and burned alive. Do you have the heart?"

Fanxing's ears flicked up, and his tail was straightened, obviously very unbelievable that such things still exist in the world.

"I didn't lie to you, Fanxing, it's very dangerous here. That God of Light here will judge everything that goes against him. Everyone doesn't know what a beastman is!" Du Changqiu quickly explained to Fanxing how stupid this world is. If people suspect that it is a devil, they will be launched into war by the temple, and it is possible to be killed directly or seize the fiefdom.

"You...don't be afraid." Du Changqiu thought that Fan Xing would understand what he was going to say, but halfway through what he had heard, the calf suddenly pointed his butt at him without anger, and stood up abruptly. Turning around, one hoof was placed on Du Changqiu's squatting leg, his big hairy head touched Du Changqiu's forehead, and the fluffy hair rubbed against Du Changqiu's forehead, as if touched by a cloud.

Du Changqiu saw Fanxing's big clear eyes blinking, and heard his gentle voice say: "I will protect you!"

Du Changqiu didn't know how to describe the feeling at this moment. He looked up at the furry and cute face in front of him, and at Fanxing Mengmeng's gentle and unconscious expression. to the heart.

His heart was touched by a soft cloud, and it instantly softened into mud.

This is Fanxing's logic. When Du Changqiu said that if he was discovered, they would all be hurt, Fanxing's first reaction was to tell him not to be afraid, and he would protect him.

This kind of devotion and tenderness is simply irresistible, just like human beings can never resist showing their bellies to their companion pets.

At that moment, anyone can understand accurately and thoroughly that you are loved and cared for unconditionally.

No human being can resist this simple and pure love. That's why human beings will be with animals in the most difficult times, domesticate them, and be domesticated by them, and then entangled for tens of thousands of years, let them Symbiosis is in the whole plan of human development.

Even after many years of disasters, human beings have a natural affection for mutants with this gene.

Du Changqiu felt that he was hit, he hugged Fanxing, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I will protect Fanxing too!"

The two immediately let go of their suspicions, hugged each other for a long time, Fan Xing finally stopped being angry, rubbed Du Changqiu considerately, and then began to eat food.

The other foods are a little cold after being left for too long, but the apple pie is still hot, and the crunchy and sweet apples are pickled and baked with honey and become extremely soft. The crust is crunchy. This time I have experience , Aunt Mary rolled it thinner, honey and fructose combined, with the unique fragrance of fruit.

Fanxing loves to eat sweets very much, after taking a bite, his eyes narrowed happily, and his tail hanging down because of anger also wagged happily!
