Lord of Rot

Chapter 27 Invitation from Iron Stone City

Dinner was meat tarts with clam soup, and the glass of beer was a mouthwash.

After the meal, there are specialty wild apples that are peeled and cut into pieces.

After Li Qi finished his meal, he tasted wild apples that were more sour than sweet. The chef, Tonkatsu, came over. Recently, in order to satisfy the lord's various whims and whims, Tonneau's spirit was extremely exhausted, and he lost weight visibly. Many, though still fatter than average.

"I've already made what you want, my lord," the wine barrel said, "One plant of that blue grass, after grinding, diluting, and then steaming it with maltose wheat flour, can make 300 grains. Farmers tried it and they raved about it, one even kept them upright for a long time."

"Well done." Li Qi was very satisfied.

One grass makes about 300 grains, but there are hundreds of grasses in the crypt.

He looked at the sugar pill that was as big as the belly of his finger, and said: "The effect doesn't have to be so magical. If you continue to dilute it with water, the effect will be only half of the original effect. Well... make it smaller, half smaller than this. What we want is to be able to respond. It’s not a cure-all.”

If you can't do it halfway through the work, then eat another one.

After eating this thing, the body is healed, who will sell the rest?

The lord's words are everything, the barrel nodded.

"Why, what else is there?" Li Qi noticed that the wine barrel hesitated.

"I want to hire a helper," said Jiu Ke, "I can't do it by myself."

"I thought it was a big deal." Li Qi said, "Well, let Simon go to the porcupine collar tomorrow to find a child with quick hands and feet. You will definitely be able to pick the right one from there."

The barrel immediately said, "Thank you for your kindness."

Baron Li Qi is merciful, which is the consensus of the commoners in Porcupine Territory.

In the morning, the news that the castle needed a young cook spread throughout the porcupine collar. Everyone gathered together, expecting their own child to be selected.

It was their dream to work inside the castle.

The person in charge of the selection is Mr. Wine Barrel, the chef of the castle. The chef is the person who cannot be offended. They are responsible for delicious food. Although they have no rights, they are the ones who can control the favor of the lord.

The whole process was very simple, they guessed that Mr. Barrel just glanced at it casually, and then picked the one that was pleasing to the eye.

Wine Barrel is really in a hurry, he doesn't have time to leisurely choose among those children who don't seem to know how to cook at all, he just needs to find one who looks obedient, and he can teach him slowly in the future.

What's more, there is only one chef, so why find someone who can cook?
"Oak basin, come with me." The wine barrel led the timid girl into the back kitchen: "From now on, you will be responsible for helping me carry things, wash vegetables, and..."

Looking at the dazed girl, he changed his words and said: "In short, you can do whatever I ask you to do, and there are some rules you have to remember. You are the assistant cook in the castle kitchen. You only need to listen to me here, except for the lord. Others don't need to pay attention to it, and you are not allowed to cook a small stove for anyone, or give them food. You should be hanged for stealing. You should know this. In the castle, the only area you can move about is the kitchen and the small vegetable garden in the backyard , the front yard and any other places in the castle are absolutely not allowed."

The girl Oak Basin nodded again and again, she was more careful to remember, and cherished this hard-won opportunity.

"It seems that you have found a good little chef, I will look forward to more delicious food." An elegant voice came from the kitchen door, and the oak tub turned to look over, it was the lord, she had once glanced at him from a long distance At a glance, he is so close at this moment compared to riding on horseback.

The lord is smiling at her, so handsome!
She felt that her cheeks were slightly hot, and she awkwardly responded to the other party's smile.

"My lord" the barrel bent over with great effort: "She doesn't understand anything yet, I really hope she won't make trouble."

"I believe you will be a good master." The lord asked, "Where are those things? I thought you were busy looking for a cook, so I came here to get them by myself... Well, I am going to Iron Stone City, maybe I can help you Find a market for those things."

"Yes"

The wine barrel immediately brought over a sack, which was filled with sweet bean balls the size of beans.

"The packaging doesn't look very valuable," the lord said: "Forget it, I will arrange the rest when I go to Iron Stone City. During the time I go to Iron Stone City, you may help me research new delicacies."

"Of course, I will try my best to make the several delicacies you mentioned." Wine Barrel nodded repeatedly. Although he was illiterate, he memorized all the recipes the lord said.

After chatting for a few more words, the lord turned and left.

"Your Excellency is a nobleman who really loves food." Tower sighed: "His ingenuity is endless, and I am proud to be able to work at Porcupine Castle."

He turned his head to look at the little kitchen assistant's oak basin, only to find that her cheeks were flushed and she was in a daze.

"Don't think too much!" The wine barrel poured cold water on it, dispelling the other party's unrealistic thoughts in time: "You are just a helper, do what you should do. This time, my lord is going to Iron Stone City to attend the dance, it is said that Simon The baron's 'heartbeat' daughter, also of marriageable age."

Thinking of the rumors about Baron Simon's daughter, Wine Barrel prayed in his heart that his lord must not marry her back. It is said that she would even have a tryst with a servant, and sometimes mess with the groom in the stable.

If he really married the other party back, his own lord would become a joke, but he also understood that many noble lords could not refuse the daughter of Baron Simon, not because of her gorgeous appearance, but because her father was the lord of Iron Stone City, Holding a mine vein.

The wine barrel came back to his senses, the matter of the noble lord was not his concern, he ordered: "Go and wash the vegetables first, the adults will eat this meal before leaving."

"Yes!" The oak basin nodded immediately.

……

The baron was carried forward on the strong mane horse, accompanied by only a few strong bodyguards, personal servants, and a carriage.

Li Qi’s commodity pills for this trip are pulled on the carriage. If he has a suitable businessman under his command, he can form a caravan. He only needs to wait for the income, but the porcupine leader has a lot to do, and there are some things that the lord himself has to figure out. Do it for you.

Sitting at the back of the carriage was a thin figure, she was wrapped in a black cloak, only occasionally when a gust of wind blew by, a strand of fiery red hair hidden under the cloak would be exposed.

is a girl.

The Baron said nothing, and no one dared to ask.

When the raven from Iron Stone City flew over, Li Qi was still a little surprised. After all, his family had almost no connection with the old nobleman's hammer, even though their territories were adjacent.

But this is a good opportunity. It's not that Li Qi intends to marry Baron Simon's promiscuous daughter, but that he wants to recruit a few talents, and he lacks people to work.

In terms of the cost-effectiveness of marrying a wife, if the red rose is ranked first, then the baron's daughter will always be the last.If you don't owe a lot of debt, or have a habit of wearing a cuckold, then it's best not to get close to that woman, otherwise you can guarantee that every child born will be a half-parent.

But for the son of a merchant who is eager to climb up, or the second son of a noble family, marrying her will be an opportunity to leap forward. The child born is likely to become a knight. Baron Spark is the doting person for his daughter Everyone knows.

Baron Simon has strong financial resources, abundant troops and mastery of mine veins. Although he has a son, marrying his daughter can get a generous dowry. As long as he can pretend to be color blind and not see the green hair on his head, he can still live a good life comfortable.

After all, in Dongxia, there are many nobles whose situation is not as good as that of Li Qi.

Some families have insufficient financial resources, but they can have seven or eight children at a time. Except for the eldest son who inherits the property, the other children can only serve as attendants to other nobles.

"Maybe I can recruit a few people who are willing to serve me?" Li Qi grabbed the rein and began to think wildly.

Men will show their charm at the ball hoping to capture the noble lady, or be captured by the noble lady.

But it is also a gathering of talents. The second and youngest sons of certain families hope to find their way out in the dance.

Li Qi is a baron, and he has the right to confer his own knighthood. I believe that many people will be willing to develop in Porcupine Collar.
