Chapter 133: Purchasing Monster Meat (Part 1)
"I understand, I understand! We can go to Winterfell together. Let me tell you, Lord Gervase, I am very familiar with Winterfell. I know all the exciting and fun things there."
As Baron Pat was about to drive, he looked at Anna, then winked at Gervis meaningfully.
"Ahem! Ahem! Baron Pat, eat! Eat! The food in this bowl is made by me. Come and have a taste!"
It is said that women's sixth sense is very accurate, but men's sixth sense is not weak either. For example, at this moment, although Gervis didn't know that Baron Pat had labeled him as a veteran driver because of the misunderstanding of his relationship with the maid Anna, but from Pat's obscene expression and special tone, Gervis had already realized that the little fat man was about to drive on the highway, so he immediately changed the subject to avoid an accident.
After hearing what Gervis said and seeing the bowl in Gervis's hand with steam coming out of it, and hearing that it was made by Gervis himself, Pat remembered that he almost forgot the main thing, so he prepared to pick up the small bowl on the square table, symbolically compliment Gervis a few words, and then get straight to the point.
Pat had no interest in ordinary food. Although he was not as wealthy as the great nobles, he was still worth a lot of money thanks to the several minerals in his territory. He was also considered an outstanding noble in the Earldom of Jones. He believed that there was no delicacy he had not tasted, so he had no special expectations for the food prepared by Gervis.
Pat turned around and raised his arm to reach for the porcelain bowl, but the moment Pat touched the bowl, his heart skipped a beat and his body was slightly stunned.
“It actually feels cold?”
Pat couldn't believe it, and suppressed his slightly unnatural expression to avoid being rude. Pat moved his eyes to the porcelain bowl on the square table. The contents of the porcelain bowl were exactly the same as the one in Gervis' hand, with several balls of different colors, and at this moment, there were wisps of gas coming out of the balls. Just now, Pat thought that this thing was emitting hot air, but he never thought that it was actually emitting cold air.
"Where did the ice come from? And why is this ice so strange? It has no color and is not smooth or transparent."
When his eyes were fixed on the colored balls in the ceramic bowl, countless thoughts popped up in Baron Pat's mind, because even a small local tyrant like him had little chance to taste ice in the summer, unless he visited the castle of a great nobleman. He didn't expect that there was ice in the remote territory of Gervis.
"Could it be that the Earl sent it? It seems that the rumor is inaccurate. Who said that the Earl didn't like Baron Gervis? If he didn't like him, would he send ice cubes from thousands of miles away? How much ice cubes would be wasted in the transportation process! No wonder Baron Gervis dared to employ a maid as his personal servant."
In an instant, Pat connected all that he had seen and heard at Gervis's place today. Without even tasting the ice cream, he had already used the ice cream to explain how Gervis came to own the ice and how he dared to let Anna be his personal maid.
In a word, Gervis was favored by Alice. To use the lyrics of a song on Earth, those who were favored were fearless. Pat believed that Gervis must have been favored by Alice.
"Baron Pat, it's delicious, you really have to try it!"
Seeing that Pat was a little dazed, Gervis thought that Pat had never tried it before and was afraid to eat it, so he tried to persuade him.
"Oh, thank you Baron Gervis for your kindness!"
Pat came out of his thoughts, finally picked up the porcelain bowl and the silver spoon and turned around, but this time Pat's gaze towards Gervis was different from before.
But Pat didn't know that the things that would surprise him were just beginning.
With mixed feelings, Pat scooped a spoonful of ice cream and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
"What...what...what's this smell? Why does it smell like fruit and milk? There's no milk or fruit in the bowl?"
Pat tasted the deliciousness of the ice cream and for a moment he forgot to take out the spoon while doubts arose in his mind.
The servants around wanted to laugh when they saw Pat like this, especially Anna. She was more shocked than Pat when she ate ice cream for the first time. But being shocked yourself is one thing, and seeing others surprised is another.
Trent, who had already returned behind Pat, saw Pat's reaction and didn't know why Pat reacted like that, but for Pat's face, Trent could only bend down carefully and call softly in Pat's ear.
"Cough! Cough!"
Hearing Teren's call, Pat finally reacted, coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, then looked at Gervis with a complicated look and said, "Baron Gervis, did you make this bowl of food?"
"Yes, Baron Pat!"
Gervis smiled and nodded to Pat. Seeing Pat's reaction, Gervis knew the financial prospects of the ice cream.
"I am sorry for my impoliteness. This is the first time I have tasted such delicious and unique food. Thank you Baron Gervis for your hospitality!"
After receiving an affirmative answer from Gervais, Pat politely replied to Gervais.
"My favorite thing is delicious food. To be honest, I have an unwelcome request for visiting Baron Gervis this time. I hope Baron Gervis will not be offended!"
"Please speak, Baron Pat, but my ability is limited. I don't know if I can help Baron Pat."
Hearing Pat's next words, Gervis straightened his body. What followed was the real purpose of Pat's visit. He came in a hurry and brought the purple elf worm as a gift. Gervis knew that Pat must have something going on.
"Actually, this is what happened. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by Baron Gervis. I have never had any talent for cultivation since I was a child. However, as a noble, it would be a very bad thing if I didn't have enough force to protect myself. Fortunately, the territory my father left me is quite rich. I have been relying on eating monster meat to increase my cultivation, but monsters are rare, so I have been looking for monster meat everywhere."
"A few days ago, I heard that Baron Gervis had hunted a storm wolf, so I came to visit him this time to ask Baron Gervis for help. Can you sell me the beast meat? I know this is unreasonable, but Baron Gervis, don't worry, the price is negotiable. I will never let you suffer a loss and damage the friendship between our neighbors."
Now Gervis finally understood why Baron Pat was so fat. It turned out that he earned the title of Knight by eating. How rich must one be to eat his way to the title of Knight? Anyway, Gervis couldn't imagine it. At least the cost would not be much less than buying a royal blue fairy bug.
Thanks to the book friend "甲申由田曰" for the reward!!! It didn't show up in the backend, luckily I saw it on the webpage!!!
