Transcendent Noble

The thin white soup boils in the hot pot, and it is fragrant, which makes one's index finger move. And the red pine round table is full of fresh vegetables, various beast meat, fish fillets and shrimps, red, green and green, which is very gratifying.

"Victor, is this the hot pot you invented?" Edwin asked Victor as he looked at this chic copper hot pot with beaming eyes.

This copper hot pot has a big mouth and a round belly. It has two layers inside and outside. The inner layer burns charcoal, the outer layer boils the soup, and there is a small smoke stack in the middle. It is the common charcoal copper on Earth. hot pot.

"Yes, this is the hot pot that I only invented recently. In cold weather, this hot pot tastes the most warm." Victor introduced with a smile.

Edwin and Bruce returned to their temporary wood house as soon as they returned to Victor’s hill camp. After a good bath, they fell asleep. The fighting for several days was really exhausting. It's choking.

When they woke up, it was dark, it was the stomach rumbling with hunger, they received Victor’s dinner invitation, so Edwin, Bruce, Nicole came to the Victor office villa, where they met Go to Victor's food prepared for them-hot pot.

Victor originally invited Bruce's four followers, Knight, but they needed to follow closely to guard the carcass of the alienated rat. They even had food and accommodation in the same room, so naturally they couldn't come.

For the caution of the York family, Victor expressed his understanding that it is an important resource for the core interests of the Guan Family that no negligence can be tolerated.

"Victor, is this bean paste? Why is it so fragrant?" Edwin picked up a silver cup in front of him and sniffed it hard, only to find the scent attractive, and his throat couldn't help but move.

"Because the fermented wattle, black pepper, and wormwood are used in the bean paste." Victor replied with a smile.

"Wild thornweed? Although this plant has an attractive fragrance, it tastes bitter and astringent. How did you get rid of its taste?" Edwin tasted the sauce, but it was full of fragrant taste. , There is no strange smell as expected.

"Wild thorn grass is not directly added to the sauce, but after deep-fried with acorns, these acorn oils have the flavor of wild thorns, so acorn oil is the sauce for this dish. The key." Victor said triumphantly.

Speaking of which acorn oil refining using iron oak was pioneered by Victor. Humans in this world do not have the habit of extracting oil from plants. All dishes are not stewed and roasted, which makes people accustomed to various delicacies. How can Victor be able to bear it? Fortunately, his territory is rich in animal and plant resources, and with the help of Buso, an expert to identify toxicity, Victor can test various spices calmly.

"Victor, your knowledge of food is beyond my imagination. This journey is really eye-opening for me. Compared with the life of the royal nobles, we are really a group of country nobles." Bruce laughed a little at himself. Said with a smile.

The local nobles in Gambis think that the royal nobles are flashy guys, and the nobles also laughed at the local nobles as vulgar hillbillies.

"Master Bruce, these unique spices were not discovered by Victor, but some newly added freemen to gather. These people have amazing survivability. They helped the camp find several new crops. For example, this kind of sweet potato can be eaten as food." Nelson explained to Bruce that he thought the alchemy assistant was a new free citizen.

"Some freedmen live in the wild for a long time. Some of their survival skills are very valuable knowledge. It's a pity that most of us in Baita ignore this." Edwin regrets that he is a minority. Several Baita scholars who realize that the division of classes have caused many useful knowledge to be unable to be collected and sorted out.

"Master, come and taste this shabu lamb, this is the hind leg of the little yellow lamb, cut into thin slices, roll it in the boiling soup, you can eat it with the sauce." See Edwin Somewhat sadly, Victor hurriedly graciously picked a slice of cooked lamb into the old scholar's sauce dish.

Victor carefully designed this time hot pot banquet in order to further narrow the relationship with Edwin and Bruce, because he soon asked for these two.

The so-called, the food is not tired of fine food, and the food is not tired of fine food. The fineness of the diet can reflect the degree of civilization of an ethnic group. The human aristocrats of this world are aloof and remote, but in Victor's eyes, they are actually ridiculous. They blindly pursue manners and etiquette without improving their quality of life.

From the point of view of diet, monotonous cooking methods and monotonous tastes make no difference between nobles and ordinary people. Therefore, in order to show their nobility, nobles can only work hard on tableware and etiquette.

It’s no wonder that a cook who cooks for the lord usually handles chores in addition to cooking, helps in the fields when he is busy, and fights in armor during wars. What makes him With the intention to study culinary art, bringing forth the new through the old.

There is no clear division of labor in society. In the final analysis, it is because of low productivity and low productivity. In addition to the continuous competition between humans and foreign races, Victor believes that the more important reason is that the aristocratic and civilian classes are serious. Split! Victor has a feeling that this gap is deliberately created!

However, Victor is not interested in studying this kind of problem, he just wants to build relationships now.

Edwin entire group has got alienated creatures, this kind of treasure will surely make them quickly return to their sphere of influence, maybe tomorrow. And Victor needs Edwin to help him promote cane sugar, spices and coffee, and Bruce to help him take care of the group of people in Black Castle Town, so that his purple cane wine can earn the first pot of gold.

So, Victor’s method is, everyone eat well and drink well. This is completely in line with the behavioral habits of the Chinese people on Earth, and it is very effective.

"Victor, what kind of tableware are you using?"

Nicole saw Victor holding two slender wooden sticks in his hand and dexterously clamped the food into the dish , This kind of novel tableware makes her beautiful eyes shine.

"Well this? I call it chopsticks." Victor said with a smile to the sister. Only he and Nelson used chopsticks, and Nicole prepared a knife and fork, tweezers and a colander.

"Give me a try!" Nicole groaned to Victor, not letting her use the same tableware, which made the girl upset.

"Okay, but the chopsticks are not very easy to use. It took Nelson two meals to master it. I think you can use it first... I mean, you can use it. Chopsticks."

A pair of chopsticks was handed to Nicole's white and delicate hands. At Victor while speaking, Nicole was able to taste the delicious food with his chopsticks flexibly and freely.

"It's so easy to use!" Nicole gave Victor a sideways glance, both cunning and charming.

"I'll try it too." Edwin said with great interest.

But when the seemingly simple chopsticks reached Edwin's hands, he found it was a mess, no matter how many different grips he changed, he couldn't deal with even a single leaf. At this time, Bruce was already flying his chopsticks, and it was a pleasure to rinse all kinds of ingredients.

"These chopsticks seem simple, but they test people’s coordination ability. Only a creature like Knight with a highly unified spirit and body can master the usage so quickly. An ordinary person like me can’t help it. "Edwin put down his nasty chopsticks with a sad face.

"It's okay, the biggest role of chopsticks is to share food." Victor said with a smile, and thoughtfully cooked a piece of fresh lizard meat for Edwin.

"Victor, this is not in line with aristocratic etiquette." After Victor picked up a prawn for him, Bruce teased said with a smile.

The novel hot pot, the novel chopsticks, and the novel dining style give Knight, who values ​​etiquette, a particularly relaxed feeling. This is an experience that has never been seen before.

"You like it." Victor also responded with a smile. He rinsed a fish fillet for Nicole to make the girl sweet.

Unconsciously, a warm and harmonious atmosphere has spread over the dinner table, giving everyone a knowing smile.

This is the effect Victor wants. The round table regardless of priority, the delicious hot pot, the mutual care, draw the distance between each other, this is the traditional food culture of China The charm lies.

And Victor has brought this custom to his people, and achieved very good results, making them closer and more united.

"Nelson, really didn’t expect you to be the bear of the Northland. The battle between you and the Knight of the Tartus family became a classic textbook for the trainee Knight. This battle educated my retinue Knight." Bruce said with a smile to Nelson, they already knew what had happened recently.

"Oh? What's going on?" Victor asked curiously. He only knew that Nelson had killed a Knight head-on, but he didn't ask the details.

"Nelson killed the Sasan Knight with a single blow. This incident has spread in Knight circles." Nicole covered her mouth and said with a smile.

Dame has just drunk some purple cane wine and his complexion is crimson. At this time, he smiles like a flower, and his eyes are really nothing more beautiful can be imagined. Victor's heart is hot when he sees it.

Fortunately, the four bastards can't come to the banquet, otherwise they will see Nicole's beautiful and alluring look, and they will not be determined to pry my corner. Victor thought happily.

"I didn't expect that Sasan Knight, after hitting us, he jumped into the air and chopped at me. I took the opportunity and killed him with one blow. If he was on the ground Attacking me, I'm not sure if I can beat him." Nelson said muffledly. Since knowing that he had been tricked, he no longer felt that this was something to boast about.

"Prancing slash, the body slashed in the air, the formidable power is great, and the risk is great. Apart from being used to deter ordinary persons, it has no practical value. The Sasan Knight died of arrogance and frivolity, and became everything Follow Knight's negative textbook." Bruce shook his head and said.

Victor suddenly realized that the Sasan Knight thought that Nelson was an ordinary mercenary, and directly zoomed in on the move. As a result, his body was volley, and there was nowhere to borrow. He was hit by the 20-point physique Nelson on the spot. die.

So, the funny Knight was actually a dead man, and he was shamelessly becoming a negative teaching material. No wonder the Tartus family would flies into a rage.

"Victor, your handling of the freedmen is very correct this time. This is the method that a qualified pioneer should use." Edwin said to Victor.

"To be honest, I can't bear to kill so many people at once, but they will threaten the safety of the people, and I have to do this again." Victor said with a bitter smile.

"Victor, this is the consciousness of the pioneering lord. You must know that your so-called legal ownership is only used in the noble world. For those free citizens who are in a group, they don’t care about your legal status, only Power can determine the ownership of the territory. If you have a castle and a Knight, they will fear your power and acknowledge allegiance to you, but if you don’t have these, you must use iron and blood to show your power, otherwise they will be right. You use iron and blood. You have to remember that you can only talk about kindness to those who acknowledge allegiance to you!" Nicole solemnly said to Victor.

Nicole's words directly pointed to the essence, which made Victor stunned. He is kind to those who acknowledge allegiance, and he is iron-blooded to the unruly. Isn't this a saint inside and a king outside.

"Thank you, Nicole, I will definitely remember your warning." Victor said sincerely to Nicole.

"Actually, this is what Mrs. Sylvia said." Victor's gratitude made Nicole a little bit sorry.

Victor has always had an inexplicable sense of superiority for the nobles in this world. He believes that most of these nobles are ignorant and ignorant. This recognition stems from his vision beyond this era. And Sylvia's wisdom and insight made him realize that the lords and nobles of this world should not be underestimated.

"Victor, I want to remind you that you are enough to wipe out the bandits in your territory this time, and you must not continue to use this method, otherwise Radiance Church will trouble you. Compared to the purification wizard, the church is more Paying attention to the protection of freedmen and leaders, all lords who challenged the bottom line of the church paid a heavy price. Even the fifth emperor of Rand Empire died in the hands of the church because he caused the death of 7000 freemen." Edwin also warned Victor.

"Can you be more specific? I'm surprised that the church is so strong, and it values ​​the lives of free people and leaders, because there are so many free people displaced in the who-like world? Can they not change Is the living environment for civilians?" Victor asked solemnly. It was a matter of life and death, and he had to be cautious.

Edwin and Bruce looked at each other and continued: "This issue is very complicated. I can discuss it in detail with you tomorrow, but before that, you must join a camp!"

"What camp?" Victor frowned and asked. Although he left the Prince's party, he was unwilling to join the Grand Duchy.

"White Tower camp!"

——————————

The dinner is over, Victor is lying in bed, unable to sleep for a long time, He was still thinking about what Edwin said.

The so-called White Tower camp means that all the secular lords unite to fight the threat of the church. Even if the hostile family faces the threat of the church, they must put aside their contradictions and unite as one.

No need to think about it, of course Victor has joined this camp. What troubles him is that there are two pieces of information revealed.

First, the church is very strong, and the power of the lord must be united to fight against it.

Second, the church is very strong, and anyone who challenges its bottom line will be crushed by it.

The question now is, as a lord, what Victor must do to gain enough room for development in the shadow of the church. This is a problem he has to figure out. He doesn’t want to accidentally anger this. The huge monster was finally crushed.

Just as Victor was tossing and turning, he heard a slight noise outside the door, the super-sense turned on, and Nicole’s graceful silhouette came to his mind. Victor’s heart was hot and he was about to get up and open the door. At that time, the door latch shook and it was opened. The beautiful Dame stepped into the house and inserted the door again.

Just as Victor was about to speak, Nicole's fiery body plunged into his arms, and a fragrant and soft lip was printed on his mouth. There is no need to say anything...

The moonlight is gentle, and the moaning inside the house is as thin as a gossamer, so that the watery moonlight is also charming. It is really a beautiful night.
