Chapter 162 Ice cream is a big hit
"My name is Eagle. When Lord Baron Gervis went to the territory that day, I was the herald who delivered the certificate issued by Lord Earl to Lord Gervis!"
After confirming that the convoy was sent by Gervis, Eagle did not hesitate any longer. He immediately brought his wife and children to the front of the convoy and revealed his identity with a smile.
He was the herald Eagle who came with Gervis when he arrived at the territory that day.
"Dear Lord Eagle, I send my greetings to you on behalf of my master!"
Thomas bowed and greeted Eagle respectfully. Thomas was also present when he met Eagle that day, but Eagle had traveled day and night to get to Storm Territory at that time, and he looked a little dishevelled. But today, he was dressed gorgeously and looked energetic. Moreover, it had been more than a month since they met, so Thomas did not recognize him at first.
"No need to be so polite! I wonder how Baron Gervis is doing these days!"
Eagle smiled and waved his hand. Although the wedding of Gervis and the Earl had become the focus among the nobles, people talked more about Alice and the lucky Gandalf's second son, but few people knew Gervis' name.
But Ik was different. When he met Gervis that day, Gervis was polite and courteous to him, and his demeanor was not as cowardly as the nobles had rumored, so he had a deep impression.
"Sir Sheiger, please take care of me. My master is doing well!"
"Dad, I want some ice!"
"Father, I want one too!"
While Eagle was talking to Thomas, a brother and sister, one big and one small, who were led by Eagle's wife, began to quarrel.
"Eula, quickly serve four bowls of ice cream to Mr. Eagle, his wife, and the two young ladies!"
Hearing the two children's noise, before Eagle said anything, the quick-witted Thomas had already started to instruct Yura. This was a great opportunity. He had just seen some ladies and girls and had been somewhat tempted, but was embarrassed to step forward because of so many people watching. Now, as long as Eagle's family started eating, they could definitely find a breakthrough.
"Butler Thomas, thank you very much!"
Eagle came forward because of Gervis. He heard the discussion in the crowd and was also prepared to help the Countess's husband so as to establish some good relationships with him. Now that his two children asked for it, it was just right. So Eagle did not refuse the four bowls of ice cream that Thomas brought.
Soon, Yura and Johnny worked together to scoop out ice cream of different colors from several huge wooden boxes and handed them to the four members of Eagle's family.
"Then I won't be polite!"
Taking the porcelain bowl handed over by Johnny, Eagle was also very surprised when he saw the colorful ice cream emitting cold air in the bowl. It was actually really icy. The cool feel to the touch had confirmed this. Eagle did not dare to neglect it, for fear that the precious ice cream would melt. He said something to Thomas, then started to eat with a small spoon.
"Wow, so cold! So sweet!"
"Ahhh! It's so delicious! This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten!"
When Eagle and his wife ate the ice cream, their eyes were shining, but in public, they were both aristocrats and needed to maintain their elegant manners.
But their children were different. They were only six or seven years old, at that age of innocence and romance. When they ate such delicious food, they immediately screamed and danced while eating, which made the crowd watching in the distance swallow their saliva.
The two children's mouths were full of ice cream juice while they were eating. Under normal circumstances, Iger would definitely discipline them, but now it was to help Gervis with the publicity, so he just acquiesced.
Besides, the ice cream was really delicious. For a lord like him who was a minor noble and didn't even have a fiefdom, it was basically impossible for him to eat ice cubes in the summer, let alone ice cream like this.
“It looks delicious!”
"That's Lord Eagle, he works at the City Hall, I've met him!"
"Mom, I want to eat too, I want to eat too!"
"Sister, I want to eat too, please take me there!"
The shouting of Iger's two children finally aroused the appetite of other children. The best way to deal with children is to eat delicious food in front of them, which is the biggest temptation for them.
"Then go and try it!"
A noble lady with a child swallowed quietly, and when she heard her child's cry, she immediately pretended to be reluctant and brought her child to the front of the convoy.
"How do you sell this ice cream? My child wants to try it too!"
The noble lady was the first person to come forward besides the Eagle family. She was still a little reserved at the moment and was too embarrassed to ask for a free tasting. She asked directly about the price and attributed the reason for the purchase to her children.
"Dear Madam, please taste it first and buy it if you think it's delicious!"
Thomas saw the expression of the noble lady. Thomas, who was quite good at observing people's expressions, knew what the noble lady was thinking, so he immediately spoke to her.
"Eula, hurry up and give this lady and master two bowls of ice cream to taste!"
Soon, the noble lady and her child both got the steaming ice cream, and they both couldn't wait to eat it.
“Wow! So delicious. So delicious!”
Once there is a first time, there will be a second time. Until this moment, the people who had been excited for a long time finally took action and all rushed to the convoy in the center of the square.
"Welcome to taste, one portion per person! Quantity is limited!"
Seeing this scene, Thomas' face was full of smiles!
“It’s so delicious. How do you sell this ice cream? I want to buy some to bring back for my mother to taste!
In the crowd, a young man asked loudly after tasting the food.
"A jar this big costs 2 silver coins, you can choose any flavor you want, and it comes with half a basin of ice to keep it warm!"
Hearing the inquiry, Thomas quickly stood on the carriage, took out a clay jar, and explained to the crowd.
"2 silver coins? I want 2 cans! I want the banana and grape flavors!"
"I want one can..."
"I want……"
It was a rare opportunity for nobles like them to eat ice cubes in the summer, not to mention ice cream which was even more delicious than ice cubes. Today, they could actually buy it with silver coins. They were not stingy and took out silver coins to buy it. Looking at the crowd, they were afraid that they would miss it if they were late.
"What's going on? Stop crowding! Who is selling things in the square? Are they trying to kill themselves?"
Just as people were paying for the products and Thomas and the others were delighted, a team of city guards in silver armor came from behind the crowd. A fiery red rose was engraved on the chest of their silver armor.
Hearing the shout, the crowd who were rushing to buy ice cream immediately quieted down and looked back. After seeing the identity of the person who came, they tactfully made way for him.
