Wear to the Middle Ages to engage in construction

On the day they entered the city, their family got up early. After all, York was not a very close place. Tang Feiliu had been running for a day and a night in a carriage. Stuart dared to enter the city this time because of Tang Feiliu's blessing— In ancient Europe, it was much more difficult to enter the city than in ancient Asia.

In fact, in modern times, Europe is still sparsely populated.At this time in ancient Asia, it is relatively convenient to enter counties with markets, and you can basically go back and forth in one day, but this is not the case in the Lot Empire at this time. There are very few real big cities, and basically small and medium-sized cities have not developed particularly well. , basically the main structure is the villages one by one. If you want to enter the city at this moment, the nearest one is York.

Therefore, ordinary peasants basically seldom go to the city. They will choose to buy some necessities in life from mobile merchants. For special farmers, it is really a very serious matter. Most people will never leave the place where they live.

Stuart was about to get married, so under the leadership of his parents, he went into the city with the manager of the village who was about to enter the city and delivered goods to the old duke. At that time, the old duke lived in the city of York. The sheriff will go to the city every year to report the situation to the old duke and pay tribute and taxes. Since Edward returned to Black Swan Castle, the sheriff here has been kicked out of the territory because of greed and filling his own pockets, so there is no The method set off with the convoy that paid the tax.

However, because of poverty and fatigue, the villagers don't really need to go to the city, because they don't have much money to make purchases in the city.

This time is different. The reason why Stuart was able to spare a few days to go to York City this time was not only for his own family, but he also had the mission of the patrol team on him-in fact, the reason why he would say When it came to going to town, it was also because everyone was talking about York and what was missing at home. Stuart called back a few days of rest and asked everyone to replace him. It was also because everyone asked him to bring something back , so that he can act cheaply.

In any case, the Stuart family was very happy to go out this time, and because the road that Tang Feiliu asked people to cross was indeed much more convenient. Many places that would trap the carriage were paved with soil, and some difficult places could The bridge was built and the pier was tamped, which allowed Stuart to drive the ox cart quickly. They found a village on the road to rest for one night, and set off early the next day. At noon in the sun, they finally arrived in York City .

What surprised them first was the prosperity of York City, but then, the stench of York City made the Stewart family cover their mouths and noses.

"Oh my God! Dung heap!" The youngest son Adam yelled frantically, "Father, this is a huge dung heap!"

"Adam, don't talk nonsense!" Lily covered her youngest son with her backhand, not allowing him to yell, so as not to be embarrassed by the defenders of the city, but as she slowly approached, Lily couldn't help muttering softly: "Oh my God, Tut , this place... is really a dunghill."

Stuart is the only one in his family who has been to York. He felt that York was as prosperous as he remembered. He smiled cheerfully and said, "You guys have stayed in the country for a long time. This is the taste of the city."

That's right, this dung pile is actually a very natural thing for many people in the city. Although they also hate and disgust these things, some people joked that "this is the proof of the city", which is to boast of a large population. mean.

Although Tang Feiliu hated this place in every possible way in his memory, and the Stuart family was shocked by the city surrounded by dunghills at first, but unlike Tang Feiliu, the Stuart family was immediately conquered by the prosperity of this city— —The bakery in this place actually sells fluffy bread, not only that, but also ready-made cheese and butter, which are displayed in large pieces in the window, which looks very attractive.

Adam was lying on the window where the bread and snacks were placed, drooling when he looked at it. Stuart looked funny, so he said: "Who should be a good boy now, let's finish buying what we want to buy first, and I will buy it later Just buy someone a whole sweet cake."

Adam and his younger sister immediately began to urge their parents to buy things nervously. They walked around the city several times, and Stuart compared the prices again and again, and finally reached a suitable price - the reason why everyone recommended him to buy things, In addition to the fact that he has been to York, everyone believes that buying things with Stuart will not be a disadvantage. After asking the price and confirming that this store is the most honest, Stuart took a piece of berry red cloth and gestured at his wife. While saying: "Lili, look at this color, I can't imagine how good you look in this dress!"

Lily blushed when she was told, she smiled and said, "Such a bright dress, how difficult it is to take care of!"

Having said that, Lily obviously likes this color too, as can be seen from her hand holding the fabric, but Lily gestured for a while, but she put it down, she said softly: "The fabric of this color is so expensive , twice as expensive as white cotton cloth, so forget it.”

The white cotton cloth costs one shilling and one meter, so it costs four or five shillings to make a skirt, but this red dress costs five shillings and two meters. It's not a sensible idea to spend a lot of money here when you're going into town to buy salt, butter and new quilts.

Stuart knew it too, but with hesitation on his face, he could see how much Lily liked the cloth.But Lily thought of one thing, she smiled and said: "But... I really like the color, but maybe we don't need to buy so many."

Lily's eyes moved to the colorful rags in the basket, which said two shillings a catty, and she smiled and said, "I can get half a catty of rags."

"No, we can buy the fabric." Stuart said hurriedly, and he whispered, "Lily, I said you can choose what you like today."

"Trust me." Lily patted Stuart reassuringly. Although Stuart didn't understand, since Lily was so determined, he couldn't interfere. He could only put down the red cloth discouragedly, and then picked out what to bring to his friends, and Bring what you want at home.

At this time, everyone bought raw materials and made them themselves. Generally, they seldom bought ready-made ones like Tang Feiliu, because processing fees were unnecessary expenses for the villagers. Apparently, Stuart also thought so. He bought cotton and cotton cloth. Then I bought some salt and some meat, and finally came to the bakery under the eager anticipation of the two little guys.

As soon as they entered, the two little guys were tied up. They are real country bumpkins. The closest place to food is the bread mill, which is not a bakery. You can only use wheat to make bread for Monica or Xiaozhen. Here is There are cakes that look so beautiful that you don't even dare to touch them!

Tang Feiliu might not call this cake a cake - in fact, there is no difference between cake and bread at this time, the recipe is basically the same, just whip the cream and then spread it thickly.

But this is already a very precious dessert, and it is not affordable for ordinary people in York. In fact, it is not even ready on the window. There is only a sign that says "Cream Cake", which is probably for rich people. It is something that is made to order, and the cake that Stuart promised just now is not this kind, but the sweet bread in the next window, also known as cake.

And Adam and his sister also looked at the same one. For them, this cake is already the limit of imagination, and this cake is obviously the limit that Stuart can afford once in a while. To make the best memory of his life, he took out the money and bought two sweet cakes, broke one of them and distributed it to Adam and Adam's sister, and handed the other whole to his wife.

Stuart smiled and said, "I said that back then, one day I would bring you to York and bring you to the bakery to buy a whole cake to eat."

Lily's eyes were red, and she said softly, "You still remember..."

"I always remember, including Adam's brother..." Stuart hugged his wife tenderly, and Lily burst into tears.Their first child died in a snowy winter. The child had a high fever that winter, and they had no money, so they had to send the frail child away.

How much life has been lived, half a lifetime in the blink of an eye, Lily has long forgotten that afternoon of smiling and looking forward to it, and that joke-like promise, but she did not expect that after so many years, she would still come to this life. There is no chance to come.

She put the sweet buns away carefully, and cried and laughed, not knowing what to say.

"It's touching." The proprietress of the bakery next to them also wiped her tears. She is a surprisingly fat woman, and she said in a crying voice at the moment: "If my unbelievable dead husband has you My husband is half considerate, I will probably snatch his bottle when he dies drunk."

What the proprietress said made Lili burst into tears. The proprietress has a very good personality. She wiped her tears with her fat fingers and couldn't help laughing: "Where do you come from?"

The bakery's business is still relatively quiet at the moment, and the proprietress actually started talking to them. Lily quickly said, "It's from Black Swan Castle."

"Oh? Where does little Lance live?" Unexpectedly, the proprietress of the bakery widened her eyes, and then said wistfully, "Oh, my little Lance, cute little angel, how is he doing recently? He must be very sad without my bread?"

... If Tang Feiliu were here, he would definitely answer her: "Aunt Vivienne, your bakery has become the number one in the city. I taught you how to make sandwiches and bake butter biscuits. I am very happy without your bread." Okay, don't worry!"

But Stuart and Lily didn't know that they were very proud of Tang Feiliu's existence. When they mentioned Tang Feiliu, both parties immediately became close. People are much closer, she exaggeratedly said: "I really wish I could go and see little Lance myself, he likes my thick soup the most, wait a minute..."

As she said that, Aunt Vivienne suddenly came out from the cash register. She moved her fat and huge body, knelt down and took out two brown paper bags from the cabinet, then turned around and picked up several sweet buns.

"Here, you guys bring it to little Lance for me, so that he must eat well." Aunt Vivienne said solemnly, and then handed the little bag to the Adam brothers and sisters, and said with a smile, "I specially baked this bag." Bread sticks, crunchy, eat on the way back.”

"This one is fine, but that one is not." Stuart wanted to refuse, and he winked to ask Adam to return the bread sticks. Although it was a small bag, it was still a bit expensive.Adam eagerly handed it over, but his face was filled with reluctance—he could smell the smell of butter and honey, and this bag of bread sticks was as good as Queen's Bread.

But Aunt Vivienne and the others rushed out together, she just smiled and said before closing the door: "Come again next time! Remember to say hello to little Lance for me!"

Stuart was at a loss, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning. Someone next to him heard Vivienne's voice, and someone came over and asked suspiciously: "Do you know little Lance? I mean, Lance Doctor Tang?"

"I know... but Mr. Lance is not a doctor now, he is our sheriff." Stuart continued to answer blankly, and then he suddenly discovered that the entire York Street seemed to start to regard them as their own .

"If I had known you guys knew little Lance, I wouldn't have charged you so much money." Even the boss who sold the cloth gave Lily half a meter of red cloth, and then the smile on his face became sincere, and he took off his hat to Lily To pay tribute, say, "Little Lance saved my naughty boy's life, please take my blessing."

... The family ended their purchases in such a dazed and super affordable way. After they walked out of the city gate, they looked at the things on the bullock cart and never came back to their senses.

Instead, Adam handed the small bag of bread sticks mixed with honey and butter aroma to his mother, and said, "Mom, please keep it for me, and we will eat it when we leave the city and there is no smell."

He had obviously taken the opportunity to discuss it with his younger sister, who was also nodding her head in agreement at this moment—God knows that this little girl was not so solemn and serious when buying fabrics to make clothes.

And just after going out of the city gate and passing the dung pile, Adam lay on the bullock cart and said with emotion: "It would be great if the dung pile was in Swan Castle, then all the crops can be irrigated."

Children at this time are not carefree. They all know that the things in the field are related to whether they will be hungry in the future. Adam's partner was sold to a merchant by his family, and he may never see him in this life, so Children are also very concerned about the harvest in the field. Adam's childish nature, thinking of the field at this moment, can't help feeling like a little adult.

The speaker was not interested in the listener, and Adam was just talking casually, but Stuart looked back at the dung heap that was full of dung that was almost flush with the city wall, and Stuart secretly fell in love.
