As soon as 1,100 Finnies were in hand, Marin immediately found a hotel and stayed. In the past two days, he had never slept in bed and felt uncomfortable.
However, the price of hotels in Bonn is very high. A single room costs 10 Finneys per night. A small hotel in the town, one or two Finneys a night is enough.
However, they are worth the money. At least, the hotels in the town are dirty to death. There are no mandatory health requirements these days. The average cheap hotel is very messy and smells great. Even the quilt covered inside has a smell (this is the memory left by the predecessor Marin Huffman in a country hotel). And this one in Bonn, although sanitary can not compare with the hotels in the future, but at least there is nothing strange. It seems that the owner still pays attention to cleaning.
After handing over the second cargo war Makar to the doorman and bringing it to the stable in the backyard, Marin asked the hotel owner for a large oak barrel and a few pots of hot water-obviously, Marin wanted to take a bath ...
Although it is early spring, you can take a shower every few days. But what scared Marin was that his predecessor, Marin, was a devout Catholic. With the advocacy of some bishop bishops, many believers believe that bathing can cause illness. As a result, many Catholics do not bathe for many years. For example, the famous King of the Sun, Louis XIV, took only seven baths in his 72 years in office. Then, the lover of this article was fainted by the strange smell on his body in bed ...
Well, the above is a vomit to the sun king. In this era, people in high positions, especially the King, the Duke, or whatever, are most afraid of death. Some bishop bishops preached that people would easily get sick when they took a bath. Therefore, people who are generally afraid of death will not take a bath. And knight families like the Huffman family who are ready to die at any time are not so afraid of death. However, due to religious beliefs, the Huffman family cannot take a few showers a year. According to the memory of his predecessor, the Huffman family generally bathed more in summer and autumn. Because, during the summer knight training, sweating is too much, not washing. In the autumn harvest season, the harvest of rye is sweaty (the Huffmans went to the field to participate in the autumn harvest), and they need to take a bath. As for other seasons, the climate in Europe is cool. Therefore, people in the Huffman family have fewer baths in the rest of the season.
For example, it is now the end of March. But Marin "remembered" that his body was about a bath before Christmas ...
"Oh my gosh, I can't feel my stink in these two days!" Marin was shocked ...
In fact, this is not surprising. In the past two days, Marin was busy thinking about how to live, and how could he consider health issues? Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to find the strange smell on themselves. Unless, he is too stinky ...
Bearing the urge to vomit, Marin waited for the large oak barrel and hot water from the hotel buddy. Then Marin started bathing in the room ...
This hotel was run by a Jew. Jews do not believe in Catholicism, and many of them travel extensively between Europe and the Middle East. The Middle East, especially Turkey, is very popular for bathing. Turkish baths are very famous. Therefore, Jewish hotels are generally cleaner than local hotels, and they also supply hot water for people to take a bath. Of course, treacherous Jews are also so expensive in terms of fees.
Entered the large oak barrel because there was no soap (in fact, in this era, soap was sold in Europe, but it was more expensive to sell, it cost 10 fennies, and generally only the nobles and the rich could afford it.) Rub your body with your hands to remove dirt. How do you know if you wipe it with one hand and get dirty with one hand ...
Young people's metabolism is relatively strong, and if they do not take a bath for more than three months, the natural dirt is very thick and thick, like an extra layer of skin. Fortunately, Marin took a bath in time, making herself refreshed and feeling a few pounds less ...
But after bathing, Marin found trouble again-he didn't change his clothes cleanly ...
However, it is no wonder that the Europeans in the Middle Ages were embarrassed. In addition, the original owner of this body was only a 16-year-old boy. Therefore, there are only a few dirty clothes in the clothes package ...
In desperation, Marin replaced one of the cleanest. Then, out of the hotel, under the guidance of the hotel owner, came to a tailor's shop ...
Obviously, Marin is buying clothes. But the price of ready-to-wear is also a surprise to Marin-a set of ordinary clothes made of linen, even cost 15 fennies, woolen cloth is more expensive, more than 30 fennies. You know, this year, ordinary people work, and only 2 fennies per day. Craftsmen work, and only 3 Finnies a day. Fifteen Finneys are almost equivalent to a seven-and-a-half day salary for a strong man.
Fortunately, Marin had made a huge red deer before and got enough money. Otherwise, he cannot afford a suit. Marin, who originally planned to buy a few more clothes for washing, bought only two sets of linen and took them back.
When I returned to the hotel, the original set was dirty and a little worn out. Marin had intended to throw it away. But now, Marin silently picked up the tub and went to the well to wash his clothes ...
At dinner, Marin spent 6 Finneys, asked for a piece of black bread, and a roast goose, and ate. It ’s just that the Europeans ’cooking talents are too bad. A good roasted goose does not taste good, only salty ...
No wonder, this year, UU reads www.uukanshu. The COM voyage has just begun, and Europeans have not yet occupied Southeast Asian spices producing areas. Therefore, the price of spices in Europe is comparable to gold, and it is very scarce. Generally, ginger, aniseed, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices are only added to the aristocracy and the rich when eating meat. For ordinary people, it is good to put some salt. It is said that the highest etiquette for the honorable guests on the Russian side of the Orthodox Church is to serve wheat white bread and salt ...
After eating the tasteless roast goose, Marin began to open his mind again-if relying on his half-hungry Chinese cooking, in this era of Europe, opening a Chinese restaurant, it will not be a huge profit ... Marin fell into YY ...
But not long after, he was awake again. This era is not an era of the rule of law. It is true that his use of Chinese cuisine can make business flourish in a short period of time and make Europeans swallow their tongues. However, the secret recipe of cooking is bound to be criticized. It is difficult to protect yourself.
The truth is simple, the age of the nobility in the Middle Ages. In this era, the aristocracy eats everything, and the civilian life is like a mustard. If you own the secret recipe of cooking, you have no status. So, if any aristocrat, he dare to send someone to take himself away, and then torture himself with severe punishment to get the "secret recipe." And then, in order to monopolize the market, this nobleman may limit his freedom, and maybe kill himself ...
I watched Marin in "Palace of the Palace" and "Biography of Zhen Huan", thinking of this, I could not help but fight a cold war-terrible ...
"After all, if you want to hang out in the Middle Ages, you have to have a noble status!" Marin sighed, stuffed the roasted goose from the plate in front of her into the mouth, and then returned to the room with a heart to rest ...
