Through conversations on the way, Marin learned that the Kahns were originally serfs from a nearby landlord's house. However, since Kahn began to develop a few years ago, he was particularly able to eat, and one person could eat three people.
Alas, Kahn is also more powerful. If it was a knight leader, Kahn might be recruited as a knight's attendant. Because, Kahn has the potential to become a mammoth.
However, the owner of the Kahn family is just an ordinary landlord and squire, and he does not need a working rice bucket. Coupled with the poor harvest in the past few years, the Kahn family was swept out last year.
Kahn's father, Zimmerman, knew some carpentry, so he went to the city to work for a carpenter's shop. Kahn, together with his mother, two younger brothers and little sister, built a humble wooden house by the Black Forest. Usually, Kahn went to the forest to pick up dead branches for firewood (logging must be approved by the lord), sold to the city people, and made a little money.
卡 And Kahn's mother took her brothers and sisters to pick wild mushrooms in the forest and dried them for food ...
卡 Because Kahn eats a lot, even though Zimmerman is also earning a good income, the family also tries to find ways to subsidize their households. However, everyone is still struggling.
But this year, Kahn is already 18 years old. Zimmerman originally took Kahn to the city at the beginning of the year and planned to make him an apprentice. However, after seeing Kahn's horrible meal, the artisan shops rejected Kahn without exception (the apprentice has no wages, but manages the meal) ...
In desperation, Kahn had to return to accompany his mother and brothers and sisters. Unexpectedly, Kahn's mother, Jenny, became ill and was weak. Because after saving his savings for the mother, the whole family started to be hungry ... So, Kahn thought of hunters and quietly hunted deep in the forest (the lord here is not strict with the people's hunting pipes, Many people hunt quietly and get caught up to death.) Unfortunately, for the first time hunting, not only did he not reach the prey, but he turned into a prey and fell into a trap ...
When he came to the wooden house, Kahn put down the wild boar, pushed the old fence in front of the house, and shouted:
"Mom, I'm back! Come here!"
Soon after, a middle-aged woman with a embarrassed face welcomed him with a boy of fifteen or six years old, a boy of about twelve years old and a girl of about ten years old.
"Kahn, is this master?" The middle-aged woman looked at Marin and knew that the other party might be a knight.
"Dear Madam, my name is Marin, and I'm a knight." Marin introduced himself, by the way.
"You're too polite, Lord Knight, we are just civilians and can't stand your gift!" The middle-aged woman horrified. In her memory, there were never any civilians saluting or even scratching their heads. How could any aristocracy salute the civilians? Moreover, she was only a low-level woman without a surname, and could not afford the title of "Mrs." at all.
I am also a marlin, who does not pay much attention to the difference in social hierarchy. Resting on another knight, will never look straight at a civilian. Being able to speak to civilians will feel very much to the opposite party.
I heard that Marin was a knight master, and the younger boys and girls were scared to hide behind the women. Instead, the fifteen or sixteen-year-old looked at Marin with curious eyes, not afraid.
"Koller, what are you doing blindly? Haven't you salute the Cavaliers?" Kahn glanced at his second brother, Kohler.
Kohler reacted and gave Marin a gift, but after finishing the gift, he still looked at Marin with curiosity. Of course, this is not the kind of wild look, but a peek like a little boy ...
"Kahn, go, drag that boar in!" Marin said casually.
"Sir, what do you want?"
"Get a group in your house, let's have something to eat together."
"No no no, how dare we eat your master!" Jenny shook her head.
"It's okay, that's it. But ma'am, can you help me make some food?" Marin could see that Jenny's illness was already cured, but her body was still weak. About half are hungry.
"Ok……"
卡 "Kahn, will you kill the pig? This wild boar hasn't been dealt with yet?" Marin suddenly remembered that this wild boar seemed to have not been dealt with yet ...
"Yes, sir, I worked as a helper in the slaughterhouse in the city for a few days at the beginning of the year, so I will kill pigs! Look at me, look at me!" Sharp short knife, went to deal with wild boar.
Although the method is a bit rusty, Kahn managed to clean up the wild boar. However, the wild boar skin was broken because Marin had fired several arrows.
Ji Zhenni quickly cut ten pounds of wild pork at Marin's request and went to the kitchen to cook.
After an hour, Marin looked at the food on the table, frowning ...
"Ma'am, can you only grill and cook meat?"
"Huh? Yes. Didn't everyone do that?" Jenny didn't understand what Marin meant.
Marin also reacted instantly-where do Europeans know how to cook ...
But he couldn't bear to see the delicious wild pork, wasted on the roasting and cooking of ancient German machinery ...
Then Marin asked:
"Ma'am, do you have a pot in your house?"
"Ah? Yes, yes, there is a pan!"
"Frying pan ..." Although it is not a professional wok for cooking, it is better than nothing.
Then, in the surprised eyes of the Kahn family, Marlin took off his armor and went into the kitchen ...
When I entered the kitchen, Marin called Kahn and let him set fire. And himself, he started to prepare stir-fry ...
But what makes Marin desperate is that Kahn's house does not have the oil needed for cooking ...
No wonder, these days, Europeans only have butter and olive oil, two expensive edible oils, only nobles often use them. Well, also use some animal fat ...
"Yeah, animal fat!" Marin patted his head, then, holding a knife, went to the boar carcass to cut some pig fat, and threw it into the pot to boil lard ...
After boiled the lard, Marin took out the cut pieces that Jenny helped to help, threw them into the pan and started frying ...
Except for lard, Kahn only has salt as a condiment. In desperation, Marin can only choose to put some salt ...
After half an hour, a scent of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, causing Kahn, Kohler, Kleman and Xiaomina to drool and drool ...
After the stir-fried meat pieces came on the table, with the exception of Jenny, everyone stared at saliva.
"Don't watch, let's eat together!" Marin took the lead. Others were still hesitant at first, but after Kahn opened his head, a few children rushed to eat ... Soon, a plate of fried meat was gone ...
"I'm sorry, sir, the children are too mouthful!" Jenny saw that this was enough, grab the knight's food, aren't you afraid of being killed ...
But Marin didn't care. The fried meat was not very tasty because of insufficient seasoning. Of course, that's relative to the Huaxia stir-fry in later generations. In this era, it may be Marin's first fried food.
"It's okay, it's nothing. Big deal fry again!"
下 For the second time, Jenny didn't dare let Marin do it herself, but planned to do it herself. Under Marin's guidance, Jenny also reluctantly fired a decent piece of fried meat. Then, he was divided up by several bear children ...
"Oh, it's so delicious, if only I could eat meat every day!" Kahn sighed with satisfaction after he was full.
"Come on, brother, unless you can become a noble attendant, you will have the opportunity to live this life." Kohler said on the side. The nobleman's followers, even if they are leftovers and cold, have the opportunity to eat delicious food. As for the civilians, they can only eat black stick bread ...
"Aristocratic followers ..." Everyone couldn't help but set their sights on Marin-wasn't this the ready-made aristocracy?
大 "Master ... sir, do you lack a leg-runner around you?" Jenny asked nervously. She could see that Marin was a knight, but he didn't seem to have any knight attendants. Maybe because it's young.
"Servants ... not yet, I plan to recruit a few servants after joining the emperor." Marin said his plan, it is not a secret anyway.
"Emperor ... Emperor ... Your Majesty ..." Several villagers were stunned by Marin's plan. Usually, the knights are high above them in their eyes. The emperor is said to be much larger than the knight lord ...
The Kahn family agreed that Marin had a bright future. Can a knight who can serve the emperor have no future?
Then, Kahn immediately looked at Marin with a dissatisfied look:
"Sir, can you take me as a servant? I am very powerful!" After speaking, Kahn showed his muscles and showed his strength.
"Very strong, can you move the stone in the doorway?" There was a large stone in front of Kahn's house, weighing about three hundred pounds. Marin asked jokingly when he saw the stone at the door.
"You look good!" Kahn finished speaking, hurriedly ran over, lifted the stone, raised his head ...
Marin was taken aback. He was able to lift a 300-pound weight, which was considered very powerful. You know, Marin himself can only carry (not lift) 200 pounds of things in the previous life, and he can be regarded as a strong man in the future.
What he didn't know is that this 300-pound stone is actually the "sports equipment" that Kahn usually uses to exercise. Kahn's limit is more than 300 kg, which is extremely abnormal ...
"Very good, a little bit of energy, just right for me to get my armor and a rifle!"
"So?"
"Follow me if you want to, 3 Finnies a day!"
那 "Well ... what about dinner? My lord Kahn eats a lot ..."
"Eat a lot? How much can I have?" Marin is not surprised. Generally, the brothers are all rice buckets. For example, Xue Rengui, the amount of each meal is calculated using a bucket, not a bowl.
"At least 6 pounds of food a day. If you eat it open, you might get 8 to 10 pounds ..." Jenny was a little embarrassed. However, this is an important issue, and she does not dare to deceive Master Cavalier. The average adult eats two pounds of food a day, and their family's rice barrel Kahn eats at least 6 pounds a day ...
呃 "Uh ... it can be eaten. But, Kahn, do you dare to follow me on the battlefield? It will die at any time!" Marin didn't care about appetite, but about courage and guts.
没 "No problem, sir, will you follow me to eat and fill up? As long as we fill up, we can do anything, and we are not afraid of death!" Kahn said kindly.
好 "Okay, I like bold men. Okay, I accept you!"
"Thank you for your appreciation!" Jenny was very surprised, not only for Kahn to have a good future, UU reading www. uukanshu. Com is also happy that this poor family has thrown away a bag of rice ...
大 "Master ... look, can I?" Kohler was very excited to see his elder brother become a knight following him.
"Koller, do you have any special skills? Your elder brother is strong, what are you capable of?" Marin recruited his subordinates, but he was unwilling to take them.
"I ... I have a good memory and I will calculate ..."
"Accounting ... Have you read books?" In the Middle Ages, accounting was not what ordinary people would know. Generally, only aristocratic families, merchant families and wealthy households will teach children to settle accounts.
没有 "No, I stole it from a Jewish businessman in the town and would use Arabic numbers ..."
"Stealing ..." Marin was very speechless. Learning to learn how to learn how to steal accounts, it seems that Koller's IQ is quite high. However, is he and his eldest brother, Kahn, really close brothers? Who picked it up?
Then, Marin tested the three-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of Kohler, and found that Kohler answered well. It was just that when he tested the four mixed operations, Kohler couldn't answer.
"Probably, Kohler is a third-grade mathematics ..." Marin remembered that the four mixed operations seemed to be in the fourth grade.
三年 The mathematics level of the third grade of elementary school seems to be enough to keep accounts ...
Then Kohler also gloriously became one of Marin's servants. As for the smaller Kleman, even Marin would not want it for a while. Because he is not a nursery school, he will not bring children.
Soon, Kahn was ordered to go to the city to find their father, Zimmerman. After all, when a son follows others as a servant, he should know when he is a father.
