"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.
趁着这个机会,朗曼伯爵正准备说一些什么,但是他看到,对面那些红叶城的人,桌面上还残留着一大堆的食物,甚至很多食物都没有动,只是象征性地吃了几口。
看到酒已经就位,朗曼露出一个自信的笑容。
先不说他们有没有足够的金钱维持增加了一倍的开销,就说当地的城主肯定都不会允许的,毕竟一个城市的粮食储量是有限的,尤其是在冬天这种时候。
见到朗曼伯爵动手了,他的那些家臣们立刻开动,好像有人跟他们抢一样。
至于马洛一行人,在听到朗曼伯爵关于他这款从“祖上传下来的酒”的介绍之后,都有些懵。
“我跟你们说,这就要这样喝才行,不然……”
“不知道谁在念叨我……知道我着凉了,还不快来给我暖暖!”
“我倒是更喜欢这个内脏馅饼,放在青豆糖里泡一泡,这滋味,吃过了终生难忘!”
她并没有喝多少,只是用手指头沾了沾,浅尝了那么一丢丢,但是这并不妨碍她说“好酒”。
不不不!不能问!这岂不是显得自己见识很短!
说起这些家臣来,他最喜欢的还是玛茜,虽然她并不是银松城最漂亮的,也不是身材最好的,但是她却是最技术最好的,每次都能让自己享受飞一般的感觉。
可是接下来的事情有些出乎了他们的预料。
难不成是因为玛茜他们的缘故? 玛茜目光有些不善,她觉得这些人纯粹是在给自己难堪。
不光朗曼伯爵有这种想法,玛茜同样也是。
得到马洛的同意之后,那商人有些不好意思地开口: “我早上吃得比较简单,只吃了十多块饼干……”
听到朗曼伯爵的话,不但那些家臣,就连这些从红叶城来的商人们都睁大了眼睛。
“你们——”
朗曼伯爵目光严厉地看着这名商人,身为一位伯爵,他的目光还是很有压迫力的。
“咳咳,我们也不想啊,但是谁知道这个酒这么冲,咳咳,香味儿我没尝出来,我只觉得辣喉咙……咳咳!”
“不错,我也觉得这个盐水煮肉好吃!”
朗曼伯爵赶紧变了一个脸色,很和蔼地笑道:
安妮也不傻,瞬间就明白了什么意思,顿时点头。
这让朗曼伯爵的脸色有些僵硬。
“多谢伯爵大人!”
为了避免让朗曼伯爵太难看,大家还是捏着鼻子,也不管什么味道了,直接往嘴里塞就是。
不过她现在有点想念红叶城了,红叶城有那么多好吃的,哪像现在这样,因为一顿饭而已,感觉都快打起来了。
虽然看着不是很好看,但是那味道十分符合玛茜的口味,她在红叶城几乎没有机会吃到这种美味。
“好吃!我觉得伯爵大人家的黑布丁是银松城最好吃的食物了!不,是整个贝克王国最好吃的!”
尤其是还有几人对自己的酒量很自信,并没有听从告诫,他们就喜欢大口喝酒的爽快感,然后就悲剧了——被冲得受不了,直接吐了出来!
因为在昨天晚上,朗曼伯爵可是与她分享了这种酒!
但是没想到,伯爵大人竟然买来了这些精盐吗,并且借着这些外来人,伯爵大人很大方地给众人品尝! 这简直是天大的荣幸啊!
玛茜虽然是对着这名商人说话,但是她的目光却时不时地看着马洛,颇有种挑衅的意思。
所以朗曼伯爵不相信这名商人的话。
安妮看到面前的白酒正好说话,却突然被阿贝捂住了嘴巴。
“这是谁制造的酒!我真他娘的……”
玛茜眼前一亮,不知道是不是因为心理作用,她竟然觉得这一块儿盐水煮肉比黑布丁还要好吃!
顿时,一股浓郁的酒香散发了出来! 这是一种和刚刚的“朗曼伯爵祖传酒”一样的香味儿! 不,这个香味儿更浓! 朗曼伯爵仅仅闻了一口,他就有种想喝的冲动。
“感谢伯爵大人,我等告辞了!”
反正张枫大人一直就想打开红叶城的名声,如果能从这里开始也算不错了,虽然他的目标是王都,毕竟队伍有一个安妮,在王都肯定能得到一些照顾,但是张枫让他随机应变,而且那些银松城的商人们肯定也会把红叶城的一切都说出来,与其这么藏着掖着,还不如主动说出来,他也不想得罪以为伯爵大人。
至于其他人也都差不多,吃倒是能吃下去,但是味同嚼蜡。
“我没去过?我当时可是红叶城的市政官!你们就装吧,都在大雪天里被迫离开红叶城了,还有什么好否认的!”
毕竟昨天第一次喝的时候,他的表现也不是很雅观。
“嗯!好吃,好像真的有些不一样,没有以前的涩味了!”
“诸位是怎么了?难道是今天的食物不合大家的胃口?”
关于精盐的传说,他们早就听到过了,这是一种今年才出现的盐,听说产量极其稀少,一百个盐矿里,可能就要一点点!
每个人的面前都摆着数量差不多的食物,当然,如果不够吃的话,还可以向宴会的主人讨要。
……
不过应该不可能吧,毕竟是朗曼伯爵从祖上传下来的,或许只是巧合而已,毕竟酒和酒的差异很大,光是说的话,很难表达出来,这是需要细细品尝的。
“……”
至于“他们因为不吃而落了朗曼伯爵面子”这种小问题自然被安妮忽视了,毕竟这么难吃,肯定没人吃啊!
如果单从字面意思上来看,这不正是红叶城的特产“白酒”嘛!
等到这些家臣们都缓过来这股劲的时候,马洛他们已经把自己杯中的酒喝完了,安妮杯子里的白酒也被阿贝代喝了。
“我明白,我不说!”
还有那散发着浓浓腥味儿的动物内脏馅饼,熬煮得又绿又黄,有一股怪味儿的青豆汤……
马洛等人没办法,只能默默地接受。虽然他们觉得,这里的美酒肯定没有红叶城的好,但现在这是在朗曼伯爵的地盘,为了不伤了对方的面子,只能听之任之。
马洛微微闭着眼睛,等到含在口腔内的酒爆开,浓郁的酒香充斥着口腔后,他才慢慢地下咽,直到所有的香气都随着美酒进入了胃里,他这才睁开眼睛。
只穿着小衣服的艾丽卡有些扭捏地开口。
尤金有些不太好意思。
“多谢伯爵大人!”
或许是考虑到马洛他们是远道而来,这次准备的食物种类很多,每个人面前食物的份量也很足。
“哈哈,大家喜欢就行,不过我自己倒是更喜欢这些盐水煮肉,你们不知道,我这次用的盐可是从王都买来的精盐!没有一丝杂味儿,像雪一样白的精盐!这可是我花了大价钱,并且拉下我这张脸皮才求购到的!”
“好吃……”
“嘿,兄弟,能赚钱就行了!别人是不知道这些酒的来历的,再说,以我们的实力,只要不是把酒卖到伯爵大人手里,就算对方最后知道了,在这银松城内也不能对我们怎么样!”
只见这些人拿起酒杯,先是轻轻闻了一下,然后轻轻呡了一小口,有人微微皱着眉头,有人露出享受神色,他们的神情虽然不同,但是并没有朗曼伯爵期待的出丑,反而一切都是那么的自然且优雅。
不过现在大家都对这个“祖传酒”很感兴趣,也没人在意安妮这还没说出口的话。
“诶?你们怎么不吃?”
美酒与美食不可辜负。
对方都喝了,这些朗曼伯爵的家臣们,自然也不再犹豫,他们早就迫不及待了。
但是他的脸色却变得很难看。
有人出声解释,勉强找到了一个借口。
售价:888金币 “红叶型白酒?”
马洛起身,很标准地敬了一个礼骑士礼。
众人再次感谢。
这种精盐只有王都才有,而且是专供王室使用的,他们一直很好奇,这种精盐做出来的食物会是什么样子的,但是以他们的身份,自然是没有机会品尝了。
比如这个“红叶城的商队在大雪天里来到了银松城”的消息,他觉得很惊奇,就分享给了玛茜,玛茜听到后先是不相信。
安妮小声地开口。
“多谢伯爵大人!”
“告辞!”
得到这些红叶城商人的赞同与夸奖,按理来说,朗曼伯爵应该是感到高兴才是,毕竟这是他的宴会,夸酒好就是夸他好,但是怎么感觉有些怪怪的?
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.
城主大人很难得的请客吃饭,他们却都不吃,这落的是城主的面子,而城主肯定不会直接找他们的麻烦,毕竟贵族丢不起这个脸,那么城主大人的怒火,只能由自己来承担了!
要不问一问他?
朗曼伯爵倒也没有墨迹,直接打开:
面对安妮的担心,阿贝轻轻摇了摇头。
“咳咳!”
其他人也纷纷附和,毕竟是难得蹭一顿城主大人的饭,自然要说说好话,而且这确实很好吃!
可不要小看这多出来的两顿饭,这代表着城市里粮食的消耗翻倍! 以他的银松城来说,要是粮食消耗增加了百分之十,就足够让他重视了,要是增加了百分之二十,那就足够他焦头烂额了。
“……”
安妮小声地对着阿贝发表着不满。
“唔——咳咳,呸!”
一众人向着朗曼伯爵行了个礼,然后在仆人的带领下很有秩序地离开了。
朗曼对玛茜自然是很喜欢的,答应了她这个请求,而且说起来,他也确实没有举办宴会了,很好借此机会,联络联络家臣的感情。
他不傻,他终于明白刚刚马洛骑士为什么说,要让他一个人打开了! 众人同样也不傻。
很快,朗曼伯爵及他的家臣们吃完了面前的食物,他招招手,在一旁咽着唾沫仆人赶紧上去,把桌面收拾收拾,重新端来食物。
红叶城的前骑士也很无奈。
当然,这一切的前提是指大规模的,你要是个人的话,你就是一天吃个十顿八顿的,也没人管你,你更不可能会撼动粮食的价格。
安妮的饭量并不大,早上吃了一些饼干之后,现在根本不饿,现在看到这些既不好看,又不好吃的食物后,瞬间没了食欲。
最后还是马洛最先开吃。
马洛很认真地拿出来一个长条形小盒子,盒子上的雕刻花纹都很精美,一看就是大师之作。
只是,听着这些感谢的声音,朗曼总觉得这些人有点有气无力的,难道是还没休息好?
看着这名商人有些害怕的神色,朗曼伯爵觉得他不像说话的样子,但是这怎么可能!还是城主亲自下令的?他这是嫌自己的城市太稳定了吗! “呵呵,你可否请问一下这位先生,你早餐是吃的什么呢?就算你真的吃过了这个什么早餐,难不成还能比伯爵大人精心准备的盛宴好?这不是你无视伯爵大人的理由!”
“呃……”
倒不是他吃不起别的,要是在红叶城,这些比较实惠的东西,他完全可以放开吃,但这不是离开红叶城了吗,带的东西就那么多,吃一点少一点,这都是钱啊! 听到这名商人的话,朗曼伯爵的那些家臣们都面面相觑,饼干?这是什么东西? 听起来不像是随便编出来的名字,可是他们都没有听说过啊!
这名商人的话说完,朗曼伯爵像是懵了一样,没有开口,他的那些家臣们不愿意了,顿时有人指责这名商人。
毕竟出于对宴会主人的尊重,还是不要剩下比较好。
“真是好算计啊,我以前怎么没发现,这马洛竟然这么会玩心眼呢!”
“看了这些远道而来的朋友们,并不习惯我们银松城的美食啊,也罢,我不强求他们,来人!”
朗曼身为伯爵,他的见识远不是一般人能比的,这个在巴克王国的地图上最北方的偏僻小城,他是知道的,毕竟大家都在北方,而且他有些家臣也是从红叶城来的。
车内,刚脱下衣服的张枫打了一个喷嚏。
只是对于这位家臣的反驳,和城主严厉的目光,这名从红叶城来的商人有些委屈。
“不不,伯爵大人的食物已经很美味了,但是我们已经吃过早餐了,所以现在并不饿。”
朗曼伯爵怒火冲天,同时心里也是疯狂吐槽。
“咳!”
当着面被人欺骗,这简直是不把他这个伯爵当回事啊! 朗曼伯爵也认为对方是骗他的,毕竟在整个巴克王国,他就没有听说过,一天吃四顿饭的,哪怕是巴克的王城都没有。
“小姐~请您小声一点。”
不得不说,大城市就是大城市,完全不是红叶城那种地图上都不显示的偏僻小城能比的,光看这些招待客人的食物就可见一斑。
朗曼本来还想客气一下,但是看到了那个精美的盒子后,瞬间也不矜持了,以他的贵族经验,一眼就看出,这个小礼物不简单! 等到仆人把礼物接过去后,马洛开口: “那我就告辞了——对了伯爵大人,我觉得关于这个小礼物,您独自一人观看的话比较好!”
这可是张枫酿造的酒,她不想被人冒充! “嘘——”
朗曼伯爵的家臣们自然也出声感谢,不过说的话就献媚了许多。
一众从红叶城来的商人你看看我,我看看你,没办法,伯爵大人都开口了,吃呗! 只是——看着桌面上的这些食物,真的很难下嘴啊!
这个介绍……怎么那么耳熟?
异界平常喝酒的方式和在酒馆里差不多,可以在吃饭的时候喝,也可以随时随地的,拿出酒就很,不需要任何配菜,就硬喝,因为他们的酒度数都很低,倒也不用担心喝醉。
安妮看着这些人不善的眼神,悄悄地扯了扯阿贝的衣角。
得到尊重与赞美的朗曼伯爵很爽朗地笑着说道:
她楚楚可怜地看着阿贝,阿贝给她一个爱莫能助的眼神。
没有商人不爱喝酒的,除非他过敏。
“呵呵,真是个怪人!”
一直没有说话的朗曼伯爵,听到这人话中的“骗”字,脸色更加难看了。
虽然今天消耗了不少的美酒与金币,虽然今天在开始的时候有一点不愉快,但是总体来看,还是不错的嘛! 金币什么的,他不缺。
那些黑布丁长得弯弯的、长长的,看起来像是便便一样,尤其是这些黑布丁没有被切开,简直是一模一样! 那白花花的盐水煮肉,大部分都是肥肉,上面还漂浮着很多血沫,淡淡的腥臊味从汤盆中传来。
朗曼伯爵话落,他们的那些家臣们,也都不敢再吃了,他们很明显能感觉到伯爵大人有些不开心了。
朗曼伯爵话音一落,一名仆人立刻上前,把食物摆放在众人面前。
“……”
鼠大强正准备反驳,却被朗曼伯爵打断。
就比如安妮。
这么多美食当前,就算是瞌睡,那也得飞走了啊! 虽然不是很明白,他们是怎么了,但是朗曼伯爵也没有太在意,他率先拿起两把刀子,切开了面前一盘盐水煮肉。
朗曼伯爵的脸色终于好了很多。
想通了这一点之后,玛茜目光恨恨地看着马洛。
他的心眼本来就不大,再加上这么多家臣在这呢,当着自己属下的面被落了面子,这能忍?肯定不能忍,不然自己的威严何在! 既然是面子问题,那就再找回面子。
尤其是他们早上是吃过早餐的,这顿饭对朗曼伯爵他们来说,可能是今天的第一顿饭,但是对马洛他们来说,早上吃的是从红叶城来的美食,现在吃不下这种食物了。

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.
