Chapter 14: Medieval breakfast

　　 early morning.
　　 Soon after the sun had risen, the air was a little cool, and it was too hot before it was too late.
　　 There are gradually pedestrians in the streets of the Blue Lion City. Businessmen who are busy understanding the market, craftsmen looking for short-term job opportunities, hunters selling fur, and horsemen who solicit guests, walk fast on the bluestone road.
　　The windows on the second floor of the buildings along the street also opened one after another, because of the lack of a sound drainage system, a pot of domestic wastewater was poured directly onto the street. People who walk on the road, if they are unlucky, will be poured into a wet body accidentally.
　　 Amid the screams, noise and noise, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and the Blue Lion City slowly woke up like a giant just waking up.
　　 The Blue Lion City Palace is the heart of a giant. Compared with other parts of the Blue Lion City, it is a little quieter and orderly: the maids clean the ground carefully, the gardeners carefully trim the plants, and the guards guard their guards in their positions...
　　The location of the left atrium of the heart-in the east palace of the royal palace, a breakfast is in progress on a dining table in a restaurant.
　　Richard sat alone at the end of a four-meter-long and one-meter-long long dining table, standing around the ready maid, serving alone, like a sailor in a shipwreck, floating alone on the sea. But Richard didn't say anything. After all, fifteen years has allowed him to adapt to the lifestyles of the current world, holding a knife and fork, and calmly carrying out this medieval-style breakfast.
　　The staple food for breakfast is white bread, as the name suggests, the color is white, and it is made by baking wheat flour repeatedly sieved. But the taste is not very good, because the bread fermentation in the current world is not complete, basically put it in the oven after a little fermentation.
　　 The effect of this is that the bread is not as soft as on the modern earth, it is very hard, and it bites like an unleavened bread, which is very abrasive to the teeth.
　　 Actually, it was because Richard was a prince that he could eat this kind of bread. If he is a civilian, he will eat even worse "black bread". The so-called dark bread, the raw material and white bread are the same, are wheat flour. The difference is that in order to save flour, the wheat flour is hardly sieved when making dark bread, so it is mixed with a lot of bran, which is very crude.
　　 Some black-hearted bakers even deliberately add wood chips, stones, etc. to the bread in order to increase the weight of the black bread. At the same time, in order to increase the storage time of the bread, the moisture is also reduced as much as possible, which causes the black bread to be outrageously hard after baking, and will become harder and harder as time passes.
　　 Generally speaking, two days before the brown bread was made, it still could barely bite. After two days, you can only cut it into pieces with a knife and eat it in the soup. After a week, the table knife could not be moved, because it was already hard as a stone and could be used as a weapon.
　　 There are many records in the Middle Ages: stupid thieves robbed in the village. After being exposed accidentally, they were killed by angry farmers and peasant women holding black bread.
　　 Of course, there are also high-level bread, such as the so-called queen bread, or queen bread. This kind of bread is made by adding flour, egg, milk and honey, and using beer yeast to replace the ordinary noodles for thorough fermentation, and finally carefully controlling the oven temperature and baking. The volume is only the size of a slap, but the taste is comparable to that of high-end butter bread on modern earth, and even exceeds it.
But this kind of thing belongs to luxury goods that are more expensive than gold. Even the extravagant kings and big nobles dare not eat it casually. They are generally used as special rewards to give some highlights at the dinner. Contributing people. The meaning is similar to the medal, the spiritual enjoyment is greater than the enjoyment of taste.
　　 In short, the staple food of the Middle Ages, even if it is no longer powerful, in general, can only honestly eat dry white bread.
　　 Richard held a knife and fork, cut a slice from the white bread, sent it to his mouth, chewed hard, and swallowed. The expression is sad and unhappy, it is really used to it.
　　 For a moment, Richard swallowed the white bread, footsteps rang in front of the dining table, and a maid carefully put a dinner plate on the table and brought it to Richard.
　　The roasted nine mature pork chops are placed on the dinner plate, which is a main dish in the breakfast, but it does not look very good, because the fire is not very good, and some places are already a bit burnt.
　　 Richard flicked a small piece from the pork chops with his knife and fork, and sent it to his mouth, chewing for half a day before chewing. This is because the biological knowledge in the Middle Ages is really poor, and most people do not know that meat males are castrated, resulting in extremely poor meat quality and a smell.
　　Forbearing the feeling of vomiting, and finally eating the pork chops, Richard quickly took the cup on the right and prepared to drink it.
　　 is contained in the cup, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is a drink in breakfast.
　　 Generally speaking, the most common breakfast beverage in the world is not water, but low alcohol. This is not because people are addicted to alcohol, but because of hygiene.
　　 Yes, hygiene.
　　 Westerners have not had the habit of boiling water and drinking since ancient times. All clean water lacks disinfection and has a lot of bacteria. Drinking it is easy to cause intestinal infections. In this world of lack of antibiotics, intestinal infection means that there is a high probability of causing dehydration and death.
　　 By comparison, low-alcohol wine is better and cleaner than clean water. So many people often drink ale, or ale, as water. This kind of wine is different from beer, because no hops are added, so it lacks the taste of alcohol and it is easily sour. In order to cover up the weird sour taste, winemakers often add something weird to it, resulting in drinking almost like drinking herbs.
In this regard, many people don’t care, drinking a variety of ales with various flavors, but Richard is still a bit unbearable, so the table cup is filled with water-boiled water-boiled and disinfected Clean drinking water.
　　 reached for the cup, drank a few sips of water, and rinsed off the smell in his mouth. Richard started to eat sliced ​​bread.
　　Just swallowed a piece of white bread hard, and suddenly Edward ran in and said, "His Royal Highness, Deron's butler is here."
　　 "Aren't you here yesterday, what are you doing today?" Richard looked up and asked.
　　 "I don't know." Edward shook his head. "He didn't disclose anything, just said he wanted to see you."
　　 "bang" two soft sounds, Richard put down the knife in his hand, thinking for a moment and said: "Please come here to come."
　　 "Yes." Edward should go out quickly, and quickly walked into the restaurant with the lean old butler of Delong.
