My Wife Is Great Fief Lord

Chapter 161 Who gave courage?

……

Winterfell has four districts, divided into north, south, east, and west.

Most of the people living in the Western Region and the North District are mainly civilians. Although the place is much cleaner and tidy than the countryside, you can still smell the smell when you walk on the streets of these two districts. There is an unknown smell, and most of the pedestrians on the street are civilians in ragged clothes.

The southern area is an area where wealthy businessmen or individual small nobles gather. The streets here are wide, and the shops on both sides of the whole street stand in great numbers. I saw one or two rich businessmen with big belly swaggering past with their servants.

As for the East District, this is the quietest place in the entire Winterfell. The bluestone-paved streets are clean and wide. Except for some high-end shops, the streets are the gates of luxurious mansion houses. Outside the gate there are one or two long swords hanging from the waist, guarded by brawny man in leather armor.

The number of pedestrians passing by on the street is also much less than in the other three districts. The people passing by on the street are often dressed in silk clothes, except for the servants and maids dressed as servants. Men and women, these gorgeously dressed pedestrians walk on the streets leisurely talking and laughing. Compared with the two northwest districts of dirty, messy, and rundown, this place looks like a hidden land of peace and prosperity.

But today, in this quiet and peaceful East District, like a paradise on earth, a strange sight appeared.

The square on East Street is usually a place for many noble ladies to relax and play. It is shady with trees and open space. There are many silks or some high-end luxury goods all around the square. The place.

But in such a high-end place, there is a caravan occupying the center of the square. This caravan has 4 carriages and only 13 people, including fully armed soldiers. There were also stewards in silk, and a few serfs in linen blouses. As soon as this combination arrived at the square, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Many accompanying tourists have already started talking about it.

“What happened to those people? Why did they start unloading goods in the square? Aren’t they afraid of the city guards?”

“I don’t know where these people came from. This is the first time I came to Winterfell, I don’t know the rules, you wait and see, there will be no good fruit to eat later!”

“I think they should be the caravan of the lord. Well, otherwise, why are there so many soldiers guarding!”

“What are they going to stop here for? Don’t you know that in Winterfell, caravans can’t stay in the city at will except for the cargo depot? ”

For these aristocrats in the East End, this team is so weird and unheard-of, there are those who take pleasure in other people’s misfortune, and there are those who guess the origin of the team.

As a large city with a population of 100,000, Winterfell is the most prosperous existence in the territory of Count Jones. Of course, there are many rules in this prosperous place. If there is no buyer for the goods of the caravan, you can stop at the cargo station. The cargo station is not only complete with food and accommodation, but also has many merchants, and any goods can be traded there.

If the goods already have a buyer, they can be directly pulled to the buyer to unload the goods. After the goods are unloaded, they must go, and the carriage cannot be occupied by the street for a long time.

There are two such cargo terminals in Winterfell, one is in the south area and the other is in the north area. As for the east area, of course there is no place where the nobles live.

If any caravan does not abide by this rule, it will be fined at light level, and the goods will be confiscated if it is serious.

Just when the nobles were talking about preparing to watch a good show, the scene that the nobles didn’t expect appeared. I saw that the caravan in the square, after unloading the goods, was still there. A stage was set up in the center of the square, as if to set up a stall to do business.

When all the nobles saw this scene, they couldn’t help holding breath cold air, and a single thought appeared in their minds: “Who gave them such courage?”

……

Who gave the courage? Of course it’s Liang Jingru, oh no, of course it’s Alice!

In the eyes of the nobles, this incredible team belongs to Gervais, the caravan led by Thomas.

With Thomas’s behavior and identity, of course he would not dare to bring a caravan to this East Plaza to set up a booth and set up a stall. Everything he does now is pre-arranged by Gervais. .

Before departure, Gervais asked Thomas about the situation of Winterfell. The northern part of the Western Region said that the worst part was the slums. Although they were all civilians, most of them lived in poverty.

The southern area is dominated by rich merchants. Although there is some money, Gervais still chose the first stop in the eastern area, because the first thing that needs to be sold is the ice cream made by Gervais himself.

The sales target of ice cream at first is the nobles, and the rich merchants, Gervais prepare ice cubes for them.

Because the ice cream has been made in advance, if it is not sold as soon as possible, in order to keep the ice cream from melting, it will increase a lot of unnecessary costs.

As for the ice cubes, they can be made on-site with nitrate, so there is no need to worry about melting, so as soon as they entered the city, Thomas led the caravan to the square in the eastern district, which was crowded with people. The East End is the largest, and the place is clean and spacious.

This way, in order to take Jimmy’s two apprentices to other lords’ castles to sell golden oysters, the Thomas entire group has been delayed for three days and visited two lords in total. The two lords at first didn’t care much about the so-called golden oysters, but they did not refuse them to enter the castle to make food on the spot. After all, Gervais was Alice’s husband.

Now that they are allowed to roast oysters, the next thing will of course go smoothly. With the unique taste of golden oysters, the two lords are immediately conquered by this food they have never experienced before.

It is worth mentioning that, apart from the lord, the noble ladies and wives were not going to taste this dirty and unsightly food, but Thomas told the people present according to the words given by Gervais. Everyone, this golden oyster is not only delicious, but also a man who eats more will have a better body, and a woman who eats it will have fair skin.

Because of these words, the noble ladies at the scene let down their bodies and tasted it on the spot. Then these ladies and ladies were successfully captured by the golden oysters. Finally, the caravan got it from each lord. 2 gold coins and 1 Silver Coin, 2 gold coins are the tuition fee for teaching roasted oysters, and 1 Silver Coin is the price of 50 catties of oysters. As for the first free delivery of garlic, the next purchase needs to be calculated at 10 copper plates per catty .

In just three days, the caravan won 4 gold coins and 2 silver coins.

After coming out of the second lord’s castle, the caravan was divided into two under the assignment of Thomas. Thomas led a team of 13 people in total, Johnny, Euler, Thomas plus three serfs, And 7 guards rushed to Winterfell as a team.

The other team, led by Jimmy’s two disciplines, led four serfs to go to each noble castle led by Count Jones to sell golden oysters. This team was also protected by 7 guards, and Captain Laurie Also in it.

……

“Ice cream! Ice cream that is so cool! Come and try it!”

“Only the nobles can taste it in summer Things, you can also taste here now, the opportunity is rare, don’t miss it when you pass by!”

Seeing the noble ladies and ladies all around the square are constantly looking here, to be honest, Thomas felt a little bit in his heart. Panicked, but thinking of having Gervais and Alice as backing, Thomas calmed down and arranged for Yura and Johnny to start selling loudly.

“This…this…is actually set up for sale in the square…”

“It’s the first time I’ve seen such a ruthless…”

” Father mother, is there something delicious, I want to eat…”

When the loud hawking sounded in the square of the East District, it instantly broke the tranquility here, and the nobles all around chinned their jaws. It’s almost falling down, it’s the first time they’ve seen this kind of ruthless, they’ve never seen a caravan at a stall in this square in several decades.

Did not even pay attention to what they were selling, only children who were not familiar with the world heard that it was food and began to ask their parents.

“The ice-cold, ice-cream ice cream, don’t miss it when you pass by, the grand opening today is a great deal, you can taste it for free, and you can buy it if you are satisfied! No money if you are not satisfied!”

In this way, Johnny and Yura shouted in the center of the square for more than ten minutes, but although all around was already full of onlookers, no one stepped forward to taste and ask, and even some children heard that it was delicious. , was still cold, and wanted to come to the team to have a look, but this move was immediately stopped by the parents around them.

“Lord Thomas, they don’t seem to dare to buy it!”

After shouting for a long time, I found that the tourists were just onlookers, but did not come to buy. Yura was a little depressed, moved towards the side Thomas said something.

Thomas of course discovered this situation. He didn’t expect the golden oysters to go smoothly, but it was the problem of selling the ice cream.

Thomas stood up from the chair next to him, walked to the table where the goods were placed, and shouted: “Dear gentlemen and ladies, this ice cream comes from the storm south of the Deadleaf River. The collar is made with ice cubes of milk and white sugar. It is delicious and precious. You can taste it for free! If you are not satisfied, you don’t need money!”

“In addition to ice cream, we also sell ice cubes here, which are cheap and high-quality. , dear customers want to buy as soon as possible, there are not many ice creams, and they will be sold out later!”

When Thomas’s words fell, especially when he heard that it was made with ice cubes of milk and sugar At that time, there was a sound of discussion in the crowd, and there were a few ladies who clearly had some changes and wanted to step forward, but they looked at the crowd all around, and some were sorry, and they could only stop in place. Keep watching.

After Thomas finished shouting, seeing the reaction of the crowd, he thought it was done at first, but after waiting for a while, no one came forward, but he was really worried. This ice cream was led by him. The main purpose, now that no one buys it, is how to go back and explain to Gervais.

“The Storm Territory south of the Deadleaf River? Is it Gervais Baron’s territory?”

Just when Thomas was also a little anxious, a man suddenly walked out of the crowd. middle-aged man, next to the man is a well-dressed woman holding two children, one big and one small.

“Yes, my lord, my lord, Gervais Baron, the lord of Stormland and the golden castle! I am his steward Thomas.”

Thomas Looking for the voice, he found that the man who was questioning was dressed in silk clothes and wore a lord badge on his chest. His eyes lit up immediately, especially after seeing the two children beside him, he had an idea in his heart.

“I don’t know your honorable name, let me say hello to my master!”

Thomas gave a salute to the middle-aged man walking out of the crowd in front of him, then smiled asked.
