Game of Thrones: The Strongest Guoguang

Chapter 15 Farmer Leon
Rhaenila is sitting in the princess mansion and dealing with the things reported by everyone.

Most of the problems in the black jail have been resolved, and Earl Strong is still capable. He removed some nails for the legal department and added some middle and low-level officers, which can be regarded as initially securing the position of Minister of Justice.

As for those rebellious prisoners in the black cell who refuse to work...

It's already really fragrant.

Yes, Rhaenila guarantees that the three meals a day for the working people will make these people flock to them. She hired a large group of chefs from the Red Castle and the people to cook meals for the people who do dirty work. The best of the bunch get a small glass of sweet ale from the Red Castle in the evening.

How can those who are thieves and thieves despise hot food and hot dishes, and most of them have no food and clothing in the dark prison, and rotten black bread is considered a rare delicacy...

Seeing that the laborers have three meals a day and a glass of sweet ale to drink, the key is still in a prison, and the guards are not allowed to snatch them. I wonder if they are really fragrant.

The same is true of the poor in the flea nests, saying that they have never seen such delicious "princess bread".

Well, Princess Bread is steamed buns. Ranila asked her chefs to make a lot of steamers, then made a paste from the ground flour, adjusted it with yeast, and steamed it in a steamer. It was simple and effortless.

You must know that the poor cannot eat any good food now, and even the common people who have harvested in the fields eat wheat rice and black bread.Wheat rice is rice steamed from the husk wheat in the field. It tastes very bad and is very harmful to the stomach.

As for why not grind it into flour to eat, this is because the current mills are in the hands of the nobles, if you want to use them, you can just bring the money, and from time to time some wicked people will grind some into flour and put some in their pockets , Just like the "drifting" of ancient farmers, it is not known how much food is left in their baskets.

It's not just talking about how difficult people's lives are.

Those who use work as relief now don't need daily wages, just take care of three meals a day.

Those on the road construction project included old people, women, even half-grown youths, and prisoners who were so hungry that only their bones were left...they were all in it, but the atmosphere was lively.

"Come give me a hand!"

"okay!"

The person who said this was one of the half-children, who came with his relatives from the neighbor's house.

His family lived in a small village outside King's Landing. His elder brother farmed the land for Lord Knight, but the land was only a few acres, and the tax was heavy.

His parents passed away very early, and the two depended on each other for life. The elder brother could only support himself, let alone marry a wife and have children. The women in the village heard that there was no food left at home, and they never even looked at the two brothers.

When the farming season is not busy, the two brothers come to the city to find some jobs. There is no need for big jobs, as long as they can fill their stomachs.

Leon’s favorite thing to do is to come to King’s Landing to see the mayor, but the prices in King’s Landing City are too expensive. He and his brother can only eat wild vegetables and wheat rice brought from home. Eat the bark...

Moreover, there are a lot of people in King's Landing City, and everyone is rushing to do work for the nobles, but Leon is already very satisfied, at least his life is better than the "fleas" in the flea nest.

The elder brother was doing farm work in the field, and it was the first time that Leon entered the city alone. What was different from before was that the city was much cleaner and there were more people. What decree did His Majesty issue.

There were also many people in the flea nest, surrounding the guards.

In the mood of watching the excitement, Leon squeezed into the crowd, but he was the first to be picked because of his strong physique...

At first I thought that I had committed a crime against the noble lord and wanted to do hard work, but all the dissatisfaction ended in the three hearty meals a day and the gobbling of everyone...

Leon licked his lips. He was lucky. I heard that the kind-hearted princess said that he should try his best to take care of those coolies who are not wanted, such as the elderly and women. They are the surplus labor before the busy season. I can't feed these open mouths...

Moreover, no one has ever done the dirty work, and only the nobles can enjoy it. Everyone else, no matter they are old or weak, are acting like cows and horses.

Thinking about the lunch he was going to have later, Leon swallowed, and heard the neighbor next to him say:

"I heard that today's side dish is creamy soup!"

"I heard people say that the princess sent someone to send good butter from the Red Castle, as well as vegetables just brought over from outside the city. By God, I haven't eaten butter for a long time. I miss the old ones. That meal, by the Holy Mother, was the best thing I've ever eaten!"

"Cream Bisque? Really?"

"Yes Yes!"

Hearing everyone discussing today's lunch, everyone's thoughts soared, and they arrived at the kitchen in the Red Castle...

The court officials watching from the side did not come out to rectify it. It was almost lunch time, and these people did not stop their work.

From time to time, there is a sound of gurgling in someone's stomach...

Everyone laughed when they saw this!

It's just that on the nearby construction site, some other vicious gangsters stared at the people who made voices...

These ordinary people immediately lowered their heads

The two construction sites are different, and there are more officials there than here. It is said that they will go back to prison after completing the construction work, but they are indeed frightening desperadoes!
"What are you doing! Why don't you work hard?" The officer who was not doing anything at the side suddenly said.

"Don't you want to eat today? Don't want to eat your portion and leave it to others, so go back to the prison!"

"No, no, my lord, calm down, I will work hard now..." Seeing the official in charge speak, the stab head naturally did not dare to embarrass others

I am not stupid, the people who made trouble a few days ago not only endured a beating, but were also imprisoned and unable to come out. Now they can come out to let the wind go, and they can also have hot meals, only fools are making trouble!

Leon's heart is still on "Princess Bread", he can eat enough for lunch and dinner every day, and even the extra bread at night can be taken home.

He is going to ask for a leave these days to give the bread he saved to his elder brother. My elder brother often eats coarse food, so he must like such soft and delicious fine grain very much.

I recalled the taste in my mouth... The chef in the Red Castle sometimes added some milk and honey to it, so it tasted with a slight sweetness...

Leon swallowed, and continued to think, "This is because Princess Rhaenyla sometimes comes to the construction site to have dinner with us."

Even if the meals eaten with officials and His Royal Highness are not delicacies, the chef will naturally do his best.

Yesterday, I was rewarded by Her Royal Highness, a glass of sweet ale. This taste is better than the ale I drank before. I don’t know if it’s an illusion...

Some people around me should ask for leave. People in the city can say that they can take home dinner to share with their families. People in these surrounding villages have to run back overnight to deliver food...

Leon has been in a trance, but the movements of his hands are not slow. In a blink of an eye, the road surface has become much smoother. Before Leon can recover, the guards on the side knocked on the gong, which means that it is time to rest...

The helpers brought a big pot of thick soup and a big pot of steamed buns...

The people around them immediately lined up like arrows, the speed was outrageous, and everyone took out a pot or rice bowl from nowhere.

For residents in the city, Ranila can also arrange for them to bring their own bowls and chopsticks, but those who are not in the city can only be distributed by the officials and kept by them.

It is said that there are not many dinner plates in the Red Castle. His Majesty King Viserys saw that his dining table lacked a lot of dishes, and thought that the royal chefs in King's Landing were dissatisfied...

As for the princess, she was afraid that His Majesty would get angry, so she came here to eat early in the morning.

Of course, this is a good-natured joke on the princess, Leon thought.

Leon is a farmer who doesn't understand anything, and he doesn't know anyone noble, but at this moment, he has inexplicable confidence in this princess...

"She will be the best queen in King's Landing!"
