profound?

Lin En was surprised. She didn't expect that the earl's father would still remember him and send someone over after so long.

He got off the horse and opened the carriage, which contained a lot of things. In addition, there was a man with disheveled hair and a foul smell all over his body.

What is this? Linn asked.

He's the knight who came with us, eh.

The other party paused, not knowing what to say.

Linn waved his hand and said, I will explain in detail after I finish my work. Now I give you a task to escort them to the town for trading.

Linn drove the carriage back to the castle, followed by a male servant.

After instructing the valet to unload the things from the carriage, Linn felt strange. Could it be that a certain brother or sister had developed the territory and had a good economy, which had led to the recovery of the earl territory, so that they could have extra supplies to send over.

After a while, the manservant Beaton ran over and said, Sir, everything has been put away, but that person is the only one who is still in the carriage.

Linn nodded. He went over and took a look. Five bags of flour, ten bags of wheat, a lot of dried meat, two large jars of honey, a bag of coarse salt, one bag each of beet seeds, flax seeds, carrot seeds, etc.

Besides these, there were two little sheep, two young cows, and three piglets.

These domestic animals have experienced the bumps along the way, and now they have no energy at all. They are lying on the ground without even the thought of moving.

There were more things than expected. Although it was not in line with the wealth of a nobleman, to Linn, he felt that this was a very generous thing for the earl.

Go and give these livestock some water and find fresh grass.

Beaton ran out.

Lin En looked at the carriage. There was a lot of filth inside, and the smell was quite unpleasant. The man was lying inside, covered in filth, and didn't care at all.

We're here, come down! Linn said.

The man was indifferent.

Linn himself would not take action to get the man down. After Biton fed the livestock with grass blades, he asked him to drag the man out.

The man didn't resist, and was pulled out by Biton. He sat on the ground, his eyes blurred, and he stared blankly ahead.

Biton asked in a low voice: Master, why don't you throw him out?

Lin En shook his head, Go about your business and take care of those brats.

He stared at the other person, and Linn could feel the faint energy emanating from the man. He was not an ordinary person, but a knight.

This made Linn even more curious. Even the most desolate knight still maintained the dignity of a knight, and would not abandon his self-esteem and completely surrender to himself like him.

It seems that this person has a tragic experience. The other person is silent, and Linn will not force him to talk about it. He will ask after the caravan comes back.

Under Biton's care, the cubs regained some energy, walking around in the circle and looking there, as if they were adapting to the life here.

The unkempt man was still sitting on the ground without any thought of moving.

Until the afternoon, the carriage entered the castle.

Karis came down from the top, with a smile on his face, and ran quickly towards the hall.

Master, master! he shouted as he ran.

Lin En went downstairs, looked at his expression, and said with a smile: It seems the things are selling well.

Karis nodded crazily, Yes, these sun-dried fennel has a strong flavor. It is the best category among fennel and is particularly popular. At the beginning, there were only a few free people coming to buy it. The quantity they bought Not much, after all, there is no need to buy so much for things like spices.”

Lynn naturally understood that what they wanted more than spices was flour and beer.

However, this is also a limitation of ordinary towns. If you go to a big city, those nobles have a crazy need for spices.

Later, a few well-dressed free folk women came over and bought a lot of spices. I was a little curious, so I asked them why they bought so much, because even the richest free folk could not do what the noble lords did. There are dozens of servants in the house, which consumes a lot of spices.

They told me that these spices are not used for seasoning, but are carried with them.

Oh? Linn found it interesting. They think the fragrance of spices smells good, so they should use it as perfume.

As an aristocrat, Linn had a certain understanding of aristocrats. These people were influenced by the so-called humor theory and believed that bathing would bring diseases to the body and lead to serious illness and death, so they instinctively rejected bathing.

During the time he was in the count's castle, he had not seen many people taking a bath. He once asked his servants to boil hot water for a bath. When he found out, he was regarded as having a mental problem.

Due to not taking a shower for a long time, the sweat, dirt, etc. on the body are mixed together, exuding a strong smell. Often several people are in a closed room, and outsiders may be fainted if they enter.

Therefore, when nobles build castles, they often make some important places such as halls and bedrooms wider, which not only shows their majesty, but also has a little bit of a smell.

In addition, the nobles used spices the most. Carrying some fragrant items with them can effectively block their own smell.

Especially when they go out, the filth all over the streets makes the air extremely smelly, and the fragrance exuding from their bodies also indicates their status.

Perfume is an advanced version of spices. It is said that there are many kinds of perfumes now. The production method is particularly difficult, and they are only in the hands of some nobles with high status or rich wealth.

Lin En had seen perfume before. The Earl's wife spent a lot of gold coins to buy a bottle and put it in a crystal bottle. She would not use it unless it was an important occasion.

Master, you are right. Karis replied, After traveling to other towns, I really understood why you banned the random splashing of dirt. The smell is so unpleasant. Walking on the street, Stepping on dirt is simply torture.”

Linn smiled. He was not surprised by Karis's words. After getting used to clean streets, you will be unbearable when you see streets full of filth again. This is a habit and a change in cognition.

There were many women buying spices, but then a caravan showed up and the price was quite suitable. I thought about it. If I sold it only to free people, I wouldn't be able to sell it out for several days, so I agreed to sell it to They, the caravans, bought all the spices that were left,” Karis said.

What caravan? Linn asked.
