Chapter 37： Tortured thieves

After coming to the castle in person, Lily realized that this high and towering castle is not the same as her imagination.

First of all, it is not as warm as the serfs rumored.Because it is made of stones, the interior is wet and cold. Even hanging tapestries everywhere can't remedy too much. When the cook took her to her apartment, she also saw an artisan repairing it. Leaking place. The master's room was really comfortable because of the abundant firewood.

Secondly, it is not as cruel as everyone describes it. Compared with the lives of those slaves before, Lily saw the slaves much happier, obviously because of the baron.

"They're doing ... farm tools?" Lili knew some of them, and she was surprised that the work was actually done by slaves.

"Yes, the master instructed them to learn from the craftsmen to make agricultural tools so that we would have more tools to use after the spring."

Anyone who has been bombarded by Baron Lord for so many surprises will learn to calm down.

It's incredible. Turning around a bend, there was a group of people in the hall with a fire in the middle. They warmed up together. At a glance, there were craftsmen, servants, and slaves.

——Because everyone can dress well, Lily didn't distinguish who the slave was at first, until she saw Mike's daughter and her friend Aier. Ai Er and a few daughters squeezed together, knitting wool fabrics in her hands, and there were some smiles on her face.

I do n’t know if it ’s Lily ’s illusion. She thinks this smile is bigger than that of Aier before, because Aier ’s body is not very strong and she ca n’t do too much work for her family. In winter, she can only drink a few meals. Soup.

When I saw the cook passing by, the attendants asked, "Can I eat carrot stew today?"

The chef said calmly, "Yes."

Then everyone cheered. Although the meat is not every day, the hot vegetable soup is also rare and delicious in winter. After the harvest feast, carrots seemed to be hooked with mutton, and many people later agreed that mutton should be stewed with carrots.

Lili saw Aier among the cheering people, and she said weakly, "Can carrots ... can slaves eat too?"

"They can eat carrot soup and occasionally a little carrot, but oatmeal and pea paste are enough," said the cook. This is also the reward for the masters to let the slaves go to full production and weaving in the winter, because the masters let the wheat harvest, and if the stewards can't do better, they can only accept it.

Honestly, after the slaves learned, their hands and feet were quite fast.

Lily: "..."

Incredibly, her family is a freelancer, but she can't eat enough in winter, no wonder Ail has a smile on her face. Although beans and coarse oats are inferior foods, two words are better than anything.

At this time, El also found Lily's figure, she exclaimed, but did not dare to come to find Lily, just stared at Lily.

Lili also looked at her for a while, and was taken to the residence by the cook. Naturally, many people crowded into one place to sleep, just like when at home.

Later, Aier came to Lili, and they told each other about their experiences.

Lily knew that after Uncle Mike's family became slaves, men went to learn the craftsmanship, while women were weaving without any beatings. Instead, Uncle Mike was very desperate because of his atonement, and he was rewarded twice. Bring a few oil residues back to the girls.

——Here, Aier took a lot of saliva to describe the taste, and she heard that Lily was hungry.

Seriously, although I have lost my place, it seems to be easier than before. You have to worry about the harvest, as long as you care about the preference of the master.

"Lily, you're in a good time. Fasting is about to pass. The lord master and the steward are going to eat meat. And ..." Ai Er swallowed, "The cook's cured ham seems to be ready to eat. "

Lily was at a loss, what is ham?

...

Soon, Lili knew what ham was. She gave the kitchen lady a hand, chopped garlic, packed vegetables, sifted wheat, and so on. She was very hot when she was busy, she did n’t need to cook a fire, and she did n’t have to regret her strength, because I'm always full, although it's just vegetable soup.

She must say that these vegetables are really sweet, like the huge fruits and vegetables in the old vegetable garden.

Far away, or ham, is the big pork leg hanging in the kitchen. As long as she can smell the salty aroma in the kitchen, she can drink a large bowl of water just because of this taste.

When the fast is over, the master comes to the kitchen again, of course, with his cat.

The idea of ​​Lili's first misunderstanding had long since dissipated. The master didn't specifically look for her anymore, and there were more plump women in the castle. The master could not have any interest in her.

But Lily is still very grateful to the master, and she is embarrassed to think that there are common secrets between her and the master, they are all fascinated by the cats that others call evil creatures.

Cui Qichao also saw Lili, and he passed Xiaobai into the child's arms, as if telling her that the secret still exists.

Lili hid her rejoicing and hugged Xiaobai, but the smell of garlic in her hand smoked to Xiaobai, and Xiaobai immediately drank from her hand.

In the eyes of others, it was actually good for Lili, and garlic was really useful. She was rejected by the black cat.

The lord Lord personally instructed the cook to prepare ham and sausages. He asked the cook to remove a ham and a few strings of sausages. "Are there any dried mushrooms? Take them out."

The chef found a bunch of dried mushrooms, which were tightly sealed in jars.

Cui Qichao asked the cook to cut all the mushrooms and slice the ham into small pieces. He originally wanted to make the cook soak. It may be salty just after pickling.

The chef said in a panic, "So what is salt water used for?"

"... Forget it, don't soak it." Cui Qichao said, salty, just salty, these people probably like to eat salty, anyway, he will put it in the soup for a while.

Dried mushroom sticks and carrot sticks are first fried and stir-fried. This cooking action, but the chef has practiced for a long time before mastering. Then add some onions and garlic and fry with the ham.

The aroma of the raw materials is completely released in this peculiar cooking method, olive oil sizzles in the pot, and Lily can even smell the smell of fried carrots. We all know the deliciousness of carrot stew, but I did not expect that fried carrot is another flavor. Although Lili hadn't tasted anything, it didn't prevent her from imagining the tenderness and saltiness of the meat slice, the soft fragrance of carrots ...

At this time, a scene of Lili's salivation appeared, and the chef twisted a small piece of mushroom from the shovel and put it in her mouth to taste.

Mrs. Cook was able to taste the dishes for the masters, and in the presence of the lord, this was obviously allowed by the master. Lily was so envious of her!

Then there are sausages. Some of these sausages are fried with vegetables, and the other is put on bread to make sausage bread! Lily never thought that meat could still be put on bread. Is there such a way of eating in the world? The scent was too tempting, the sausage slices were not burnt at all.

And this sausage is not the same as Lily usually sees. After cutting into slices, you can see the white part inside, like fat pork. The whole is smaller and more resilient.

After dinner, they brought the food to the long table in the hall. Everyone except the lord was salivating. Lily knew that even if the master Mr. saw this delicious food for the first time, the expressions and slaves showed little difference.

With the order of Cui Qichao, they almost scrambled to scoop up sausage bread.

The bread is still that bread, because it is finely sieved, there are no magazines inside, but it is still rough, but the sausage slices are not the same. The sausage exudes some fat during the roasting process, soaks the bread, so that the bread is more A hint of salty and oily taste.

The bread and the sausage were simmered together, and the taste was incredible. The sausage made of fat and thin pork had a much different taste than the sausages made in the water and offal. The outer casing is so thin that it is almost non-existent. The sausages that have been marinated and shrunk are shiny and the aroma is attractive. When the teeth touch the intestines, they can almost tell the fat part. The oil and water in the fat part are squeezed out. There was no sound, but they could almost feel the "Zi" all at once ... the oil came out.

The salty sausage makes the bread extremely delicious. This is a thick bread even after soaking in the vegetable soup for a while, but it is full of the aroma of sausage infiltration.

The ham slices are strangely eaten with mushrooms and carrots. Even if the salty ham slices are not roasted or added with spices, they do not have the stinky smell of bacon that everyone used to eat. , But pure aroma. Although it's salty, it's better to eat with vegetables, or take a few more mouthfuls of soup, and put the ham slices in the soup like a master to soak.

Drinking, eating meat, the stove made everyone sweat, and the woolen clothes were taken off. This winter is too happy.

Lily could see that both eyes were red. At this time, she heard someone rushing into the hall and said, "Master! Yes --- thieves come to attack!"

Everyone has a meal.

Thieves are thieves!

There are many thieves swaying along the road. They are like a whirlwind, from one territory to another, attacking the castle and taking away the food.

Generally speaking, this type of stone and ditch fortress is difficult to break, but people always doze off. Once the castle defense is weak or the lord is not in the castle, it may be difficult.

It's a bit late today, but the old man invited me to eat meat, so he ate late, and now it's dark.

Lili was weak when she heard the words of the thief and went to see the master subconsciously.

The master was still very calm, and even wiped his mouth before saying, "At this time, the robbery appears to be a group of hungry thieves, so the knights will go and grab the thieves first, and then eat."

The knight and their attendants put down their plates one by one, stood up black, went to put on the armor or cotton armor, took their weapons, and walked out the door angrily.

When they came to the door, Cui Qichao said loudly, "Come back early, the dishes are still hot."

...

When Cui Qichao heard the word "thief", he thought it was finally here. Is it complete to have not encountered a thief in medieval life?

These thieves had come by chance. Everyone was very busy in winter. Although he did not prepare weapons, he asked the agricultural officer to prepare some potion for insecticide and wipe the knights with weapons.

The knights led by Northumberland took turns serving, because each of them only served for a few months a year, and with their attendants, there were dozens of combat forces currently staying in the castle.

For Cui Qichao, they staged a medieval version of warm wine to cut Huaxiong-Wen Cai caught the thief.

No one went out in winter. These hungry thieves had to take the risk and attack the castle in the small territory while it was dark. Everyone knows that the castle has the most supplies and the manor seems to be easy to attack. Stuff, you guessed two, the police and the knight found you.

But who knows, at this point, the people in Northumberland Castle did not hide to sleep and stay warm, and the knights were aggressive.

They rode their horses from the high ground and charged their heads. This is the beauty of the castle being built high up. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the cavalry is also powerful.

The half-full knight had the highest combat effectiveness, and the thieves only heard the headed knight shouting, "For the castle ..."

Just rushing over like crazy and dead, their low morale is even lower.

The thief's head also shouted with enthusiasm: "We, we also for the castle! For the food in the castle, kill!"

Unfortunately, there were few responses. When the knights' galloping horses were approaching, a few thieves were panicked.

The knights had rushed forward, and their words were clearer, "For the food in the castle!"

"???" The thief's head was a little dazed, why did they copy their slogan?

Do n’t you just live in the castle for food in the castle?

Before he could think clearly, he was captured by the knights. Indeed, the elite thieves could fight the noble knights, but he was so hungry that his eyes were green, how can he be full these days, only just now This meal was a half-full opponent of the Cavaliers who was in extreme dissatisfaction.

The thief who ran down was also heard, grabbed by the police from below and knocked hard with a stick.

...

Cui Qichao opened the tapestry and looked out of the window hole. On the empty grassy slope, an echoing "ahh" sound came and went. The gangs of dozens of people were connected with each other ... Maybe they should not be soldiers, because quite a few People are holding sticks.

Within ten minutes, this "fierce" defending war was over, and Cui Qichao walked back with a "swipe".

On the contrary, the others in the castle were full of anticipation for the war, waiting anxiously for the news, raising their ears to listen to the movement outside, the maids even hand in hand, closing their eyes every time they heard distant shouts and kept praying.

When the knights returned after winning the battle, the atmosphere was like Chinese New Year.

The intruders were tied into pigs' bolls and thrown in the hall.

The thieves glared at the nobles in the castle, only to find that they were eating, no wonder they were all awake and responded so quickly!

The thief shouted at the young man who was sitting on top of the lord, apparently the lord, "It's our bad luck, if today you are not having a banquet-"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked.

The lord who signaled people to do so said, "So, please continue your dinner, warriors, in order to reward your victory, I just let the cook prepare the pudding."

"Oh!" The thieves saw the sturdy knights just like hairy boys, raised their fists and roared a few times, and continued to sit happily.

The thieves were at a loss.

It is customary to humiliate and judge the invaders after the war, but now they are completely ignored.

These people continue to eat and drink in a big way. When it comes to eating and drinking, this taste is really strange ...

The flames were so high that they lit up the wet and cold stone castle brightly and warmly. Under the light of the fire, they could clearly see the knights fork up a large piece of red and white meat with a fork and creak in their mouths. , Lips are stained with oil, shiny.

There are also mushroom sticks and carrot sticks. I don't know why they were caught in the same bowl and sucked into their mouths.

Bread, bread was actually stained with meat, it was too extravagant! Every bite of bread tastes meaty!

The knights were intoxicated, enjoying the ham and sausages that had been marinated, and praised the Lord Lord and the recipe he brought back from the East.

The sounds of those "creaks", "bar 唧 bar 唧" and "唏 噜 噜 噜" seem to be amplifying in the ears, and the picture of oil stars dripping on the lips is extremely clear. The unique and rich scent goes straight into the nose. The rest is meat, food, pudding ...

"Ahhhhhhhh!" The thieves were going crazy, they sent out a painful sorrow, they could no longer bear the strong hunger in their hearts, and shouted, "So hungry!"

It is a pity that this cry only promoted the appetite of Northumberland's leading people and made them eat more happily.

Cui Qichao raised his eyebrows lightly, and the knights understood it, deliberately holding a wooden bowl and standing in front of the thief to eat, almost letting people see the shape of the meat being chewed in their mouths.

The thief's eyes turned red.

But this is not the end. After a while, everyone has eaten their food into their throats. Cui Qichao said, "The rest is for you."

This guy, of course, refers to the servants in the castle.

The Lord Lord has always been so extravagant. Everyone knew this already. Aier quietly squeezed Lili and winked at her. Then Lily realized why Aier said before that it was time to meet the main banquet of the city.

At this time, the food was placed on a large plate, and everyone took it. Even if many were eaten by the old men, there were still leftovers in the plate. The maids stirred these dishes with their oatmeal and distributed them to everyone.

So the second round of eating and drinking began, and the thieves were going crazy.

The reason why they become thieves is because they can't eat enough because of various reasons, so they go elsewhere to grab, and this terrible castle, their knights can eat and drink only, after all, not ordinary people, their slaves can Full!

A bowl of warm oatmeal with greasy vegetables and a bit of meat, or soup. The slaves were much more vulgar than the knights. Wild boars whizzed and blushed.

A girl like Lili eats a little bit more, but she also drools over the sausage for a whole day, while in the kitchen, she is fantasizing about what it ’s like. Now she finally tasted it, more than she thought. delicious. The rough texture of oats is less difficult to accept because of them, and the salty taste is a salty taste that is also cherished by farmers.

At this time, the pudding of the cook was also prepared. Such food thieves had never seen it before, but it did not prevent them from observing how delicious it was from the expressions enjoyed by those assholes. That particular texture, a whole piece bounced on the plate, exuding a milky aroma, is also a dessert, much better than those green cheese!

Thieves: "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

They are going to be tortured completely.
