"Escape? Can't stay in Hongye City?"
The businessmen looked at each other in bewilderment.
Are we... talking about the same Hongye City? If possible, they don't want to leave Hongye City. It's not that they have no money, they have to come out to make money!
Faced with the ridicule from his former colleague, Marlowe said nothing. He felt there was nothing to say. To exaggerate a little, the two of them were no longer from the same world and there was no need for him to waste words with him.
Seeing that Marlo didn't say anything, Marcy thought he had acquiesced, and spoke again with some pride: "I told you at the time to leave with me, so that you could be taken care of on the way, but you insisted on assisting that unknown lady of the city lord. Now you still have to leave! Look at us, we are respected by the city lord and have been entrusted with important tasks in Silver Pine City. This is much better than staying in Red Leaf City!"
Ma Luo still didn't say anything, but Shu Daqiang was unhappy.
He knew whether Hongye City was good or not, and to a certain extent, the orcs had also made great contributions to the construction of Hongye City.
"No, don't worry, the knights here are no match for Marlowe and I."

Although they have been told to drink in small sips, they have never drunk it before. Liquor and beer are completely different things. If you have never drunk them before, it will be really difficult to adapt for the first time.
“Good wine!”
The low-priced biscuits produced in Hongye City are relatively affordable. One piece is almost the size of a palm and is very thick. More than ten pieces are enough to fill you up.
"Mr. Earl, thank you for your hospitality today! This wine is some of the best I have ever tasted in my life!"
Count Langman happily picked up the palm-sized glass bottle, and everyone gathered around to look at it. There were a few lines of words written on it:
Count Longman didn't care about Marlowe's words. Since it was a gift from someone else and it looked very precious, he would definitely open it in front of many people to show off. What's the point of hiding and looking at it alone? Everyone was also very curious about this gift and looked at Count Longman eagerly.
In a hidden corner of Silver Pine City, Eugene and Benson lit an oil lamp and counted a bag full of gold coins.
“Good wine!”
"Everyone, this is a fine wine passed down from my ancestors. Not to mention you, even I rarely drink it! Today I would like to take this opportunity to invite everyone to taste it together."
After taking a sip, the subordinate was immediately amazed. He had never tasted such delicious wine before! So he made a prompt decision and bought the pot of wine at a high price to present it to the Earl.
As for her knowledge of the characteristics and drinking methods of this wine, she believed that she was second only to the Earl among these people!
As Marlowe finished speaking, the merchants all stood up and expressed their sincere admiration for the fine wine and Count Langman. Their tone was sincere and their faces were solemn, and it was obvious that their words came from the heart.
But his excuse could not make the Earl feel relieved.
only--
Then he had reason to suspect that someone was keeping private soldiers!
Upon hearing Earl Langman's words, his retainers' eyes lit up instantly.
"Master? Are you cold?"
…
But when the servant picked up the wine jug and poured the transparent wine with a faint fragrance into the cup, Ma Lu and his group were completely stunned.
"What's there to feel sorry about... Ahem, since it's your intention, I naturally won't object!"
Marcy complained in a low voice, feeling very disappointed.
"you--"
"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Earl."
"Hehe, look at this earl, his face looks so ugly, he looks like a pig's liver!"
Marcy couldn't wait to cut open a black pudding, which is made from pig blood, meat, fat, oats, bread, etc.
Moreover, in such a situation, the city lord will most likely intervene. After all, for the city lord, he does not need his people to live well. He only needs them to pay taxes and not cause trouble.
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed to be in an awkward state, Earl Langman suddenly laughed out loud twice.
Generally speaking, banquets in other worlds are served with separate meals.
They are usually so boastful, but they behave like this even in a bar, not to mention on the battlefield, and in front of strangers. They are losing face!
“…”
Fortunately, maybe it was because the wine was too delicious, but Marlowe and his men did not look at Earl Langman, but just focused on drinking.
The servants brought wine glasses and wine jugs.
The other party finally spoke up in agreement and even praised her, and Marcy could see from their eyes that they were absolutely sincere, but why couldn't she be happy?
Shu Daqiang said unconvincedly: "You haven't been to Hongye City, how do you know that Hongye City is not good? This place is better than Hongye City? Haha, you are so bold, you should go to Hongye City first!"
"Everyone, don't be shy, just eat as much as you can. If it's not enough, I have more here!"
Although these wines are expensive, he would definitely be willing to spend some gold coins if he could buy back his face.
After Marlowe finished speaking, the other merchants cheered in approval. Even Anne blushed and exclaimed, "Good wine!"
Marcy quietly whispered to her current colleagues that after all, this kind of wine is too stimulating, and if you are not careful when drinking it for the first time, you may make a fool of yourself.
Yesterday, his subordinates presented him with a few jugs of fine wine. They said that he bought them at a great price from a poor nobleman. The wine was passed down from the nobleman's ancestors, and he himself was reluctant to drink it, but he had no money left, so he had to sell it at a low price.
The businessman who was speaking could also sense that Count Langman's tone was not right, but he couldn't take back the words since they had already been spoken, so he could only bite the bullet and explain: "In Hongye City, we have three meals a day. The first meal after getting up in the morning is called breakfast, the second meal at noon is called lunch, and the third meal in the afternoon is called dinner... Oh, and if we work overtime at night, we will also have a midnight snack, which is the fourth meal."
He thought these people were embarrassed, so he spoke in a very heroic manner.
Outside Hongye City.
She had lived in Hongye City for such a long time and had long been accustomed to everything there, especially the food.
Abe hushed at first, and when she saw that no one was looking at her, she whispered in Anne's ear:
When he said this, Marcy was unhappy.
As for Marcy, her tail seemed to be up in the air at this time.
After all the dishes were served, Count Langman said with a smile, "Everyone, please feel free to eat as much as you want. We may not have much other things in Silver Pine City, but we still have a lot of food. I guess you haven't eaten many of these delicacies. If it's not enough, you can ask the servants to add more!"
Red Leaf Liquor (Limited Edition Gift Box)
Earl Langman's ancestral wine? No, red leaf type white wine! "Come here! Call the captain of the North Gate team over to me!"
"Let me see what gift this guest from afar has prepared. Huh?"
Earl Langman's face looked a little ugly. He felt that these subordinates were too shameful!
After all these so-called delicacies were taken away, Earl Langman was still smiling, as if what had just happened had no effect on him at all.
So Marcy whispered in Count Langman's ear, which led to today's banquet.
Because they didn't make a fool of themselves, but their own people made a fool of themselves! "No, didn't I tell you to drink slowly? How could you embarrass the Earl in front of outsiders like this?"
Abei was helpless. This lady was actually pretty good in other aspects, but she just had a low sense of humor. Didn’t she see that we all looked serious? "It’s okay, it’s okay. They can’t see me!"
Exactly the same! It was indeed the liquor from Hongye City, but it was a first-generation liquor. Compared with the second-generation liquor he carried with him, it was still a little bit less potent.
This sentence is vividly reflected in Count Langman.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Earl Langman was about to say something, but he saw that the people from Red Leaf City across from him still had a lot of food left on the table, and a lot of the food was not even touched, just a few symbolic bites.
Seeing that the wine was ready, Langman smiled confidently.
Not to mention whether they have enough money to maintain the doubled expenses, the local city lord will definitely not allow it. After all, the food reserves of a city are limited, especially in winter.
Seeing Earl Langman taking action, his retainers immediately started moving as if someone was trying to snatch something from them.
As for Marlowe and his companions, they were all a little confused after hearing Earl Langman's introduction of this "wine passed down from his ancestors".
"I'm telling you, this is the way to drink it, otherwise..."
"I don't know who is talking about me...knowing that I have a cold, why don't you come and warm me up!"
"I prefer this offal pie. Dip it in green bean candy. It tastes so good you'll never forget it!"
She didn't drink much, just dipped her finger in the wine and took a sip, but that didn't stop her from saying it was a good wine.
No, no, no! I can't ask! It would make me look short-sighted!
Talking about these retainers, his favorite is still Marcy. Although she is not the most beautiful in Silver Pine City, nor does she have the best figure, she is the most skilled and can make him feel like flying every time.
But what happened next was somewhat beyond their expectations.
Could it be because of Marcy and the others? Marcy looked at them unkindly, she felt that these people were simply embarrassing her.
Not only Count Langman had this idea, but so did Marcy.
After getting Marlowe's consent, the businessman said a little embarrassedly: "I had a simple breakfast, only a dozen cookies..."
After hearing what Count Langman said, not only the retainers but even the merchants from Hongye City opened their eyes wide.
"you--"
Earl Langman looked at the businessman sternly. As an earl, his gaze was still very oppressive.
"Ahem, we didn't want to either, but who knew this wine was so strong, ahem, I couldn't taste the fragrance, I just felt a burning sensation in my throat... ahem!"
"Yes, I think this salt-boiled meat is delicious too!"
Count Langman's expression changed immediately, and he smiled amiably:
Annie was not stupid. She understood what it meant immediately and nodded immediately.
This made Count Langman's face a little stiff.
"Thank you, Lord Earl!"
In order to avoid embarrassing Count Langman, everyone held their noses and stuffed the food into their mouths without caring about the taste.
But now she missed Hongye City a little bit. There were so many delicious foods in Hongye City. It was nothing like now, where they felt like they were about to fight just because of a meal.
Although it didn't look very good, the taste was very much to Marcy's liking. She had almost no chance to eat this delicacy in Red Leaf City.
"Delicious! I think the black pudding from the Earl's house is the most delicious food in Silver Pine City! No, it's the most delicious in the entire Baker Kingdom!"
In particular, there were a few people who were very confident in their alcohol tolerance and did not heed the warnings. They just liked the refreshing feeling of drinking in big gulps, and then tragedy struck - they could not bear the rush and vomited directly!
Because last night, Earl Langman shared this wine with her!
But I didn't expect that the Earl actually bought these refined salts, and with the help of these outsiders, the Earl generously let everyone taste them! This is a great honor!
Although Marcy was speaking to the businessman, she kept looking at Marlowe from time to time, which was quite provocative.
So Earl Langman didn't believe what the businessman said.
Annie saw the white wine in front of her and was about to speak, but was suddenly covered by Abe's mouth.
"Who made this wine? I'm so fucking stupid..."
Marcy's eyes lit up. Maybe it was a psychological effect, but she actually felt that this piece of boiled meat in salt water was more delicious than black pudding!
Suddenly, a strong aroma of wine emanated! This was the same aroma as the "Earl Langman's ancestral wine" just now! No, this aroma was even stronger! Earl Langman only took a sip, and he had the urge to drink it.
"Thank you, Lord Earl. I'll take my leave now!"
Anyway, Lord Zhang Feng has always wanted to spread the reputation of Red Leaf City. It would be good if he could start from here. Although his goal is the royal capital, after all, he has Annie in his team and will definitely get some care in the royal capital. But Zhang Feng asked him to adapt to the circumstances, and those merchants in Silver Pine City will definitely tell everything about Red Leaf City. Instead of hiding it, it is better to take the initiative to tell it. He also doesn't want to offend Lord Earl.
As for the others, it was similar. They could eat it, but it tasted like chewing wax.
"I haven't been there? I was the city councilor of Red Leaf City at that time! You guys are just pretending. We were forced to leave Red Leaf City in the heavy snow. What else is there to deny?"
After all, his performance wasn't very decent when he drank it for the first time yesterday.
"Hmm! It tastes good. It seems to be really different. It doesn't have the astringent taste as before!"
"What's wrong with you all? Is it because today's food doesn't suit your taste?"
They had heard the legend about refined salt a long time ago. This is a kind of salt that has only appeared this year. It is said that the output is extremely scarce, and there may be only a little bit in a hundred salt mines!
There is a similar amount of food in front of everyone. Of course, if it is not enough, you can ask the host of the banquet for more.
……
But that shouldn't be possible. After all, it was passed down by Earl Langman from his ancestors. Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, there are huge differences between different wines. It's hard to express it in words alone. It requires careful tasting.
“……”
As for the small issue of "they lost face to Earl Longman because they didn't eat it", Anne naturally ignored it. After all, if it tasted so bad, no one would eat it!
If we look at it literally, isn’t this the specialty of Hongye City, “white wine”!
By the time the retainers had recovered from the shock, Marlowe and the others had finished the wine in their glasses, and Abedy had also drunk the white wine in Anne's glass.
"I understand, I won't tell you!"
There were also those entrails pies that smelled fishy, and green bean soup that was boiled until it turned green and yellow and had a strange smell...
Marlowe and the others had no choice but to accept it silently. Although they felt that the wine here was definitely not as good as that in Red Leaf City, they were now in the territory of Earl Langman, and in order not to hurt the other party's face, they could only let it go.
Marlowe closed his eyes slightly, waiting for the wine in his mouth to burst. After the rich aroma filled his mouth, he slowly swallowed it. He opened his eyes only after all the aroma entered his stomach along with the wine.
Erica, who was only wearing small clothes, spoke shyly.
Eugene felt a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, Lord Earl!"
Perhaps considering that Marlowe and his companions had come from afar, a wide variety of food was prepared this time, and the portion of food for each person was sufficient.
"Haha, as long as everyone likes it, it's fine. But I personally prefer this salted meat. You don't know that the salt I used this time is refined salt bought from the capital! It has no foreign smell and is as white as snow! I spent a lot of money and was very shameless to buy it!"
"tasty……"
"Hey, brother, as long as we can make money, that's all! Others don't know the origin of these wines. Besides, with our strength, as long as we don't sell the wine to the Earl, even if he finds out, he can't do anything to us in Silver Pine City!"
These people picked up the wine glasses, first sniffed it gently, then took a small sip. Some frowned slightly, and some showed a look of enjoyment. Although their expressions were different, they did not make the embarrassment that Count Langman expected. Instead, everything was so natural and elegant.
But now everyone is very interested in this "heirloom wine", and no one cares about what Annie has not said yet.
"Eh? Why aren't you eating?"
The wine and food are not to be missed.
Now that the other party had drunk it, these Earl Langman's retainers naturally no longer hesitated, as they had been impatient for a long time.
But his face turned ugly.
Someone spoke up to explain, barely finding an excuse.
Price: 888 gold coins "Red Leaf Type Liquor?"
Marlowe stood up and saluted in a standard knightly manner.
Everyone thanked again.
This kind of refined salt is only available in the royal capital and is exclusively for the royal family. They have always been curious about what the food made with this refined salt would look like, but given their status, they naturally have no chance to taste it.
For example, he was surprised by the news that "the caravan from Red Leaf City came to Silver Pine City in the heavy snow", so he shared it with Marcy. Marcy didn't believe it at first.
Anne spoke quietly.
"Thank you, Lord Earl!"
"Goodbye!"
Earl Langman should be happy to receive the approval and praise from these merchants from Red Leaf City. After all, this is his banquet, and praising the wine is praising him. But why does it feel a little weird?
I understand, I won't say it! Marcy, the former knight of Red Leaf City, those retainers, and even Count Langman all stared at Marlowe and his party. They had reached an agreement tacitly that if the other party didn't drink, they would definitely not drink either. They had no other intentions, just to see the other party make a fool of themselves!
“That’s true…”
"Breakfast? Excuse my ignorance, I have never heard of the word breakfast. Could you explain it to me, sir?"
But what was unexpected was that at the banquet, Earl Langman was actually humiliated by these people!
Although he had not announced his relationship with this retainer, it was no secret among the higher-ups in Silver Pine City, and he treated Marcie very well, and everyone saw it.
Marcy was generous with her compliments.
Although Marcy saw through Marlowe's conspiracy, she currently had no good solution. However, she was not too worried. After all, no one was better than her at eliminating the Earl's anger.
Following Earl Langman's gaze, his retainers naturally noticed the other party's situation and didn't understand what was going on.
After the wooden box was opened, an exquisite glass bottle was revealed. Not to mention anything else, this small wooden box and the glass bottle alone are worth a lot of gold coins!
Seeing this, Shu Daqiang said nothing more. Zhang Feng told him to try not to cause trouble outside, and to endure conflicts if possible, even if it means losing money to avoid disaster. He just had to report the names of these people to Zhang Feng later.
He didn't lie. This liquor was indeed one of the best wines he had ever tasted, but he had tasted it a long time ago.
Marcy's eyes rolled and she came up with a good idea!
After seeing the other party leave, Earl Longman was about to teach his subordinate a lesson, but Marlowe came back.
"Abei, what are you doing? What do you mean by 'family wine'? This is clearly Zhang Feng's liquor!"
Earl Langman felt that his inappropriate expression was unlikely to have been noticed by the other party, which was a blessing in disguise.
If these wines are really as magical as Earl Longman said, they must try them!
This is no longer just a matter of worry, this is a threat to his position!
Looking at the retainers who were staggering and having no image, and then looking at the merchants from Red Leaf City who were calm and elegantly tasting wine across from him, Earl Langman finally understood why he was still unhappy when he heard the other party's praise.
The former knight of Red Leaf City spoke.
What if food consumption increased by 30 percent?
But actually speaking of it, Count Langman was also quite helpless.
After hearing what Abe said, Annie finally felt relieved. If Abe said there was no problem, then there was no problem.
Count Langman naturally noticed Marcy's little trick, but he did not stop it, and even had a mentality of watching the show.
It’s not that he couldn’t eat these things at all, but after being used to eating the food in Hongye City, it was a little difficult for him to accept eating these.
Seeing the words above, everyone was a little confused.
This familiar color, familiar smell...
"In that case, I won't keep you here any longer. I wish you all have fun in Silver Pine City!"
"Oh, I see!"
Although it may sound a bit childish, it is no small matter when it comes to nobles and city lords! After all, for these nobles, especially the great nobles, when there is no threat of war, they have no worries about food and drink, no natural enemies, and everything they lack, so face is relatively valuable.
Then there is only one possibility left -
"It's like this. We just drank the Earl's precious wine, and we feel a little guilty about that. So we are going to give the Earl a small gift in return. Please don't despise it, Earl!"
It was so rare to be treated to a meal by the stingy, oh no, great Earl. They had just tasted the deliciousness of the food when it was taken away. It was maddening.
“Good wine!”
A golden steam car ignored the heavy snow.
Curiosity drove him to open the bottle cap directly.
Looking at the delicious food in front of her, Marcy licked her lips.
After hearing the news, Marcy wanted to meet these people. It would be even better if she could find some familiar faces among them. She wanted to let those who had not left see how well they were living after she left!
He clapped his hands, and the servants cleared the table at his command.
"Miss, just know it, don't tell anyone. Please give the Earl some face, otherwise if he gets angry, we might be in trouble."
"It is our honor to taste the wine passed down from the Earl's ancestors!"
Both sides were somewhat fearful, but the horse bandits had the advantage in numbers. In the end, they had no choice but to spend money to avoid disaster. They gave all the property they took away from Hongye City to the horse bandits, thus avoiding a major war.
No one was stupid. Although they were 100% sure that this was the liquor produced in Hongye City, after all, they had all drunk a lot of it. But the Earl had been bragging about it for so long. If they exposed him, wouldn't it be difficult for them to leave the castle?
In response to Marcy's question about breakfast, the businessman looked at Marlowe.
The reason why she targeted Ma Luo was because they suffered a great loss after leaving Hongye City! At that time, they encountered a group of horse thieves. Although they were escorted by several knights, these knights were all newly promoted knights, and the other side had several horse thieves who were as powerful as the knights!
"By the way, I have to explain before you drink it. This wine is different from the dark beer or spiced red wine you usually drink. This wine tastes spicy at first, and most people may not be able to stand it, but it will leave a lasting aftertaste. This wine is also easy to get drunk, so if you can't drink much, please drink in moderation."
"Do you think we are cheating?"
Abe shook his head helplessly.
“A-choo!”
He smiled and said, "I hosted this banquet. It is my responsibility that you did not enjoy the meal. Since the food does not suit your taste, everyone will like fine wine. We have several kinds of fine wine in Silver Pine City. I believe you have never tasted them. Come on, serve the wine!"
Hearing what Count Langman said, his retainers were a little excited. This wine sounded very good, worthy of being the fine wine passed down from the Count's ancestors! All kinds of compliments came out of their mouths at once, making Count Langman a little flattered.
After Count Langman finished speaking, Marlowe and his group immediately expressed their gratitude: "Thank you for your hospitality, Count!"
This was not only the opinion of the retainers, but also that of Earl Langman. Although he was also very curious, his aristocratic reputation did not allow him to consult an unknown small businessman.
He cut a small piece of boiled meat in salt water and put it in his mouth expressionlessly.
"This isn't—ugh!"
"How could I possibly and dare to deceive the great Earl? In Red Leaf City, I really only eat three meals a day. This is a death order from the Lord of Red Leaf City, and everyone must obey it! If you don't obey, you will be fined!"
Langman didn't quite understand. Baijiu? He had never heard of it.
In this season, few people dare to go outside. But there is no need for the other party to lie to them. After all, if they really want to lie, anything is better than saying that they are from Hongye City.
Marcy didn't even bother to eat the black pudding. She quickly cut off a piece of fat, then carefully picked up the fat with the tip of the knife and put it into her mouth.
"Okay, okay, I guess you must have some misunderstanding, but the food is here now, let's eat first and talk about it after we're done!"
If this situation really happens, it may cause food prices to rise, and then these people will find that the gold coins in their pockets are not enough to support themselves to eat four meals a day, so they will have to give up this idea. Then, with fewer people buying food, food prices will gradually return to normal, and they will have to eat two meals a day.
Such delicious food is placed in front of you but you don’t eat it?
After tasting it, Earl Langman naturally praised this subordinate and even promoted him three levels! In order to win back his face this time, Earl Langman spent a lot of money!
Anne lowered her head and her shoulders shook uncontrollably.
She always thought that if there were two powerful knights like Marlowe and Baker, the result would definitely not be like this, and they might even be able to rob the horse thieves! But there is no if, otherwise, if they had this money, they could have gone to a better place to develop, such as the capital.
“…”
However, this also makes people truly understand the true meaning of the phrase "nobles who care about their reputation".
Because I heard from the soldiers yesterday that a caravan had arrived in Yinsong City, and this caravan came from Hongye City.
"Abe, we won't be in danger, right?"
Marlowe is the leader of this trip, and everything depends on Marlowe. He also knows that these breakfasts are exclusive to Hongye City, but he doesn't know if it is appropriate to say it now.
At the same time, he was complaining mercilessly in his heart.
It was a rare occasion that the city lord invited them to dinner, but they refused to eat. This was an embarrassment to the city lord, and the city lord would certainly not cause trouble for them directly. After all, the nobles could not afford to lose face. So, they would have to bear the city lord's anger themselves!
Why don't you ask him?
Count Langman didn't hesitate and opened it directly:
In response to Annie's worry, Abe shook his head slightly.
“Ahem!”
Others also echoed it. After all, it was a rare opportunity to have a meal with the city lord, so naturally they had to say good things about him. Besides, the meal was indeed delicious!
Don't underestimate these two extra meals, as they mean that the city's food consumption has doubled! For his Silver Pine City, if food consumption increased by 10%, it would be enough for him to pay attention to it. If it increased by 20%, it would be enough to make him anxious.
“……”
Anne expressed her dissatisfaction to Abe in a low voice.
"Ugh—cough, ugh!"
Everyone saluted Earl Langman, and then left in an orderly manner led by servants.
Langman naturally liked Marcy very much and agreed to her request. Besides, he had not held any banquets, so he could take this opportunity to strengthen the relationship with his retainers.
He was not stupid. He finally understood why Knight Marlowe had just said that he should open it alone! Everyone was not stupid either.
Soon, Earl Langman and his retainers finished the food in front of them. He waved his hand, and the servant beside him hurried over, swallowing his saliva, cleaned the table, and brought new food.
The former knight of Red Leaf City was also helpless.
Of course, all this is based on the premise of large scale. If you are an individual, even if you eat eight or ten meals a day, no one will care about you, and you are even less likely to shake up the price of food.
Anne doesn't have a big appetite. After eating some biscuits in the morning, she wasn't hungry at all. But after seeing these foods that neither look good nor taste good, she instantly lost her appetite.
In the end, Marlowe was the first to eat.
Marlowe carefully took out a small rectangular box. The carvings on the box were very exquisite, and it was obviously a masterpiece.
However, listening to these voices of thanks, Langman always felt that these people were a little listless. Could it be that they had not rested enough?
Seeing the businessman's frightened expression, Count Langman felt that he didn't seem to be talking, but how could this be possible! Or was it the city lord who gave the order himself? Did he think his city was too stable? "Hehe, can you please ask this gentleman what you had for breakfast? Even if you really had this breakfast, could it be better than the feast that the Earl prepared so carefully? This is not a reason for you to ignore the Earl!"
"Well……"
It's not that he can't afford to eat anything else. If he were in Hongye City, he could eat as much as he wants. But now that he's leaving Hongye City, he only has so much to bring with him. If he eats a little, he'll have less. It all costs money! Hearing what the merchant said, the retainers of Count Langman looked at each other in bewilderment. Biscuits? What is this? It doesn't sound like a randomly made-up name, but they've never heard of it!
After the businessman finished speaking, Earl Langman seemed stunned and didn't say anything. His retainers were unhappy and someone immediately blamed the businessman.
After all, out of respect for the host of the banquet, it is better not to leave any food.
"What a calculated plan! Why didn't I realize before that Marlowe is so cunning!"
"It seems that these friends who came from afar are not used to the food in our Silver Pine City. Well, I won't force them. Come on!"
As an earl, Langman's knowledge is far beyond that of ordinary people. He knows this remote town in the northernmost part of the map of Buck Kingdom. After all, everyone is in the north, and some of his retainers also came from Hongye City.
In the car, Zhang Feng, who had just taken off his clothes, sneezed.
However, the merchant from Hongye City felt a little aggrieved by the retainer's rebuttal and the city lord's stern gaze.
"No, no, the food is delicious, but we have already had breakfast, so we are not hungry now."
Count Langman was furious, and at the same time he was complaining wildly in his heart.
"cough!"
Being deceived in front of him, this is simply not taking him seriously as an earl! Earl Langman also thought that the other party was deceiving him. After all, in the entire Buck Kingdom, he had never heard of anyone eating four meals a day, not even in Buck's royal city.
"Miss, please keep your voice down."
I have to say, a big city is a big city. It is completely incomparable to a remote small city like Hongye City that is not even shown on the map. This can be seen just by looking at the food served to the guests.
Langman wanted to be polite, but when he saw the exquisite box, he lost his reserve. With his experience as a noble, he could tell at a glance that this little gift was not simple! After the servant took the gift, Marlowe said, "Then I'll take my leave. By the way, Lord Earl, I think it would be better if you look at this little gift alone!"
This is the wine brewed by Zhang Feng, she doesn't want anyone to impersonate her! "Sh ...
Count Langman's retainers naturally expressed their gratitude as well, but their words were much more flattering.
The merchants from Hongye City looked at each other. There was nothing they could do. The Earl had already spoken, so they had to eat! However, looking at the food on the table, it was really hard to eat!
This introduction...why does it sound so familiar?
The normal way of drinking in the other world is similar to that in a pub. You can drink while eating or anytime and anywhere. Just take out the wine and drink it without any side dishes. Because the alcohol content of their wine is very low, there is no need to worry about getting drunk.
Anne looked at these people with unfriendly eyes and quietly tugged at the corner of Abe's clothes.
Earl Langman, who was respected and praised, smiled heartily and said:
She looked at Abei pitifully, and Abei gave her a helpless look.
There is no businessman who doesn't like to drink, unless he is allergic.
"Haha, what a weirdo!"
Count Langman, who had been silent, looked even uglier when he heard the word "lie" in this person's words.
Although he had consumed a lot of wine and gold coins today, and although things were a little unpleasant at the beginning, overall, it was still good! He had no shortage of gold coins.
The black puddings were long and curved, and looked like poop, especially when they were not cut open. They looked exactly the same! The white meat boiled in salt water was mostly fat, with a lot of blood foam floating on it, and a faint fishy smell came from the soup bowl.
After Earl Langman finished speaking, their retainers no longer dared to eat. They could clearly feel that the Earl was a little unhappy.
As soon as Count Langman finished speaking, a servant immediately came forward and placed the food in front of everyone.
“……”
Shu Daqiang was about to refute but was interrupted by Count Langman.
For example, Anne.
With so many delicacies in front of him, even if he was sleepy, he had to fly away! Although he didn't quite understand what was wrong with them, Count Langman didn't care too much. He took the lead in picking up two knives and cutting the plate of boiled meat in salt water in front of him.
Count Langman's complexion finally looked much better.
After realizing this, Marcy looked at Marlowe with hatred.
He was not very kind to begin with, and with so many retainers here, how could he tolerate being humiliated in front of his subordinates? He certainly couldn't tolerate it, otherwise where would his dignity be! Since it was a matter of face, he would have to regain it.
Especially since they had already had breakfast in the morning, this meal might be the first meal of the day for Earl Langman and his men, but for Marlowe and his men, they had eaten delicacies from Red Leaf City in the morning, and they could not eat such food now.
The only item that sells relatively well is the vanilla chicken, but this is only relatively speaking. After all, this pale chicken looks very dry, especially with a lot of grapes in its stomach, it looks unappetizing at all.
Count Langman was still smiling, like a peacemaker.
For the host of a banquet, eating all the food he prepared is the highest compliment to him.
A banquet of this scale has not been held for a long time since the coming of winter.
After saying this, he left quickly without waiting for Earl Langman to speak.
What is the most important thing for nobles? Of course, face!
Of course, things are not bad now. They still live comfortably in Silver Pine City. Earl Langman treats them very well, especially her, and it is worth her working so hard in bed.
Seeing these delicious foods slipping away from them, the retainers hated Marlowe and his people to death.
"Knight Marlowe, is there anything else?"
The other party is fleeing! There is no more supplies in Red Leaf City. If they don't leave, they will die! Thinking that Red Leaf City is finally going to end, Marcy still has some morbid pleasure in her heart. After all, Marlowe and the others are still in Red Leaf City.
Count Langman's smile was a little stiff.
Suddenly, Count Langman was surprised to see that Marlowe and his men did not take any action.
Place of origin: Hongye City First Brewery
"Nonsense! I have never heard of eating four meals a day in my life. Where is this custom from? Are you kidding our Lord Earl?"
Zhang Feng spoke with a wicked smile.
"Yes, Master~"
Erica bit her lips lightly and walked to Zhang Feng with a blushing face. She put her arms around Zhang Feng's waist and buried her head in his chest. She could clearly feel the heartbeats of both of them.
Although she had expected such a day to come, she didn't expect it to be in such an environment.
There is howling wind and snow outside, and inside the garden is full of spring colors.
