This is a huge building with a round roof. It is said to be as big as the castle hall in Winterfell. There are more than a dozen stoves distributed on the walls, and in the center of the room is a long table filled with various raw meats and vegetables.
At this moment, dozens of old servants and handymen were picking at the kitchen stove, looking for the good things that the cooks had left for themselves.
Because today is the wedding day of the castle owner, Miss Stark allows the servants to enter and exit the kitchen freely to get some of their favorite food. The meals prepared for the nobles have been delivered near the garden, and these people will handle the rest of the food.
Already.
Sandor Clegane, wearing a brown shirt, dark gray trousers, and soft leather boots, followed the servants, preparing to find some chicken legs to eat.
After he was rescued by Brother Meribald, he followed the old monk to build a small wooden church. Halfway through the construction, the old monk was recruited by the nobles, and then took a boat from God's Eye Lake to Heron Town, and then to Heron Town.
Lundborg, began to chant sutras all day long, praying for the souls of those who were weeping.
Perhaps out of fear that Sandor would continue to fall, Brother Meribald also brought Sandor here and asked Clegane to read the "Seven Stars Holy Book" and various prayers with him.
Naturally, Sandor refused to chant. He just followed the old monk around and ate a good meal in the castle for nothing.
During the time when he was working with the old monk to build the chapel, he had never even smelled a chicken drumstick, and he had long been craving for it, so he was going to have a big meal today.
"Hey, a pot of cold brown soup, what fool cooked this for you guys?" A maid in front opened a small pot, looked at it and then closed it again.
She described the soup as brown soup, but in fact the two were very different.
Flea Bottom in King's Landing is rich in a popular delicacy among the poor: brown soup.
The preparation method is extremely simple, just pour all the edible things into a pot, and then start cooking until the ingredients turn into a paste.
In some blue star, this one-pot stew is sometimes called stock, and in some mysterious place, it is called stew.
Our old man, Bai'er, is from Beijing, and he is just like this, slimy and slimy, which is called authentic.
Lick half a circle along the edge of the bowl, smack your lips, and give a thumbs up.jpg
Back to business.
Due to the richness and randomness of the raw materials, brown soup has become a delicacy with extremely high upper limit and extremely low limit. Sometimes, diners can even eat authentic claypot rice.
So when the servant girl saw the soup like this, she put the lid on the pot and left.
Sandor's nose twitched and he keenly smelled the smell of chicken coming from the pot.
He stopped, ready to pick up the pot and cook it first.
The maid behind also wanted to see what was in the pot, and shouted: "Where are you from the country, do you know the rules? We old people in the castle have to see it before it is your turn to choose!"
The speaker was the old maid who served Mrs. Guohe'an. Although she was just a servant doing rough work, she had a strong sense of superiority in front of the unfamiliar faces in the castle.
Sandor didn't even say a word as he lifted the pot from the stove. He just glanced back and silenced the old maid who was still shouting.
His height is only half a head shorter than his elder brother Mo Shan, and coupled with that terrifying burned face, the whole person looks very intimidating.
The old maid was a little arrogant, but she was not a fool. She knew she couldn't afford to offend such a person, so she shut up and walked away quietly.
With no one to disturb him, Sandor took the pot to a corner of the large kitchen, then threw the lid aside. Without using a bowl or a spoon, he directly reached into the cold soup with his hand. After grabbing a piece of meat, he
Bring it to your mouth.
It's chicken indeed!
As Sandor chewed, the meat juice collided passionately with the taste buds on the tip of the tongue, and then entered Clegane's esophagus together with saliva and minced chicken, filling the vacancy in his stomach.
So delicious!
"It looks like half a chicken. It's not full."
After fishing another piece of meat into the pot, Sandor the "Chicken Leg Destroyer" came to this conclusion.
But it doesn’t matter, let’s finish eating these first.
In three or four minutes, he had finished all the meat and poured all the thick soup into his mouth.
Then, Sandor snatched a castrated pig's trotter from the hands of a male servant, and gnawed on it while scanning his prey with his eyes.
When everyone in the kitchen saw this, some people immediately slipped out with the food in their hands, and most of the others stayed away from Sandor.
After finding a few more fried fish, he finally filled his stomach half full.
With the remaining half, Sandor prepared to go to the garden to try his luck.
The wedding banquet of the River King and Miss Stark is being held there.
Speaking of which, after arriving at Harrenhal, Sandor had not yet met Miss Stark, so he decided to put on makeup to avoid being recognized.
After beautifying his face with ashes, he covered most of his facial features with his hair, and then walked towards the south of the castle.
…
In the gardens of Harrenhal, King of the River and Queen Sansa, who have completed the first half of the wedding process, are receiving congratulatory gifts from their vassals.
Because the wedding came so suddenly and the war was still going on, the gifts given by the nobles were more or less not worthy of their status.
Arthur I already had a Valyrian steel sword "The Lady of Silence" and a dragonbone corrugated steel dagger, so the gifts sent by the governors did not include weapons, but mainly decorative items and books, as well as a small amount of daily necessities.
Use debris.
Among them, the gift from Innis, Marquis of Frey, was the strangest. He gave him a barrel of ale soaked in a lot of things.
"Here lies the secret that my father still married a new wife when he was over ninety years old." The bald head smiled at the king with a smile that all men understood.
Marquis Innis put his head in front of Arthur and whispered: "If your Majesty thinks the effect is good, send someone to tell me, and I will send someone the formula."
Arthur glanced at Sansa, whose beautiful face was filled with happiness, and then at the Princess of Dorne, who was sulking during the banquet. Then he looked at the bald Aenys and said eagerly:
"I trust Marquis Walder's vision. Later, you will have the formula given to Podrick Payne, my taciturn servant. He never reveals secrets."
The disadvantage of having many wives is that your body may not be able to bear it.
As the saying goes, there are only good cows and no good land, so Arthur had to make plans early.
As for the effectiveness of this barrel of wine, King Hejian has no doubt at all.
The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms once used a sentence to describe Old Walder: Marquis Frey gave birth to an army. This is enough to show his way of maintaining health.
With the blessing of such medicinal wine, Sansa will have to kneel down and beg for mercy tonight.
After waving for Marquis Frey to leave, another great noble presented his gift.
"Your Majesty, time is too short, so I only found two very rare books as your wedding gifts."
Matus Rowan handed the two books in his hands to the king.
"The smaller one is "Strange Stones" compiled by a maester named Silron. It records some things about the Towering Tower, the Seastone and Dragonstone, as well as the knowledge of the Drowned God and the Drowned God by the academician Silron.
Although the speculations about salt sea creatures are a bit fancy, they still contain some real facts."
After Earl Rowan finished introducing the small and old book, he started to explain the big and new thick book.
"This is a new book compiled by a young scholar, Adal, called "The World of Ice and Fire." He has recorded in detail the history of our world and most of the geographical and cultural knowledge of the known world. There are also appendices
There are family trees of several great nobles and portraits and overviews of all the Targaryen kings. I think you will like this book."
In order to shorten the time, Matus only briefly introduced the outline of the book.
In fact, this book has three hundred and thirty-six pages, covering content from the Age of Dawn, the Age of Heroes, the End of Valyria, to the Reign of the Dragon King (Conqueror's War) and the Glorious Reign (Usurper's War), and
Detailed introduction to the ethnic groups, cultural customs, geographical features, etc. of the Seven Kingdoms and the Sunset Kingdom.
It can be said that this book is a summary of mankind's view of the world.
In order to let the king remember the preciousness of the gift, Earl Rowan added: "Only a few copies of "Strange Stones" have been circulated in the world. "The World" was compiled only a few months ago. Except for the Academy City, the entire Victoria
I should be the only one in Stroll..."
Arthur hurriedly took the two books, "This is great, I am in need of such books. Your gift is the most impressive to me."
The King of Hejian also held the book with both hands to show his love.
Then, many minor nobles presented their gifts one after another, but not many of them made him remember.
At the end of this session, Cobain gave a gift.
Coincidentally, he also gave me a book.
"This book is called "Notes on Strange Tales of Death Witchcraft". It contains some of my personal experiences about black magic. I will give it to Your Majesty."
This old-hearted former bachelor loves to conduct experiments on living subjects and has in-depth research on necromancy.
Let's put it this way, give him a headless corpse and he can create a powerful "biochemical" warrior who knows no pain and is fearless of life and death.
The "biochemical" warriors created by Qyburn are not as flexible as wights, but the advantage is that they are obedient and can obey the orders of Qyburn and his designees.
"Excellent, excellent. I love reading books the most. This kind of gift is exactly what I need."
Arthur said a few polite words, and then whispered in Cobain's ear, "In the future, when the situation settles down, I can let you use death row prisoners for live experiments."
To be honest, Arthur also wanted to figure out the similarities and differences between ghouls and biochemical warriors, and let Qyburn practice his skills. Maybe he could really find the inner mechanism of the "resurrection" of corpses.
The eyes of the clean-faced old bachelor suddenly flashed with light.
"You are truly a wise and good king."
Although necromancy is not allowed in the academy, if the king allows it, no one will care about him outside the academy.
With this promise, Cobain, the "renovation maniac", left with satisfaction.
After receiving the gifts, the wedding went on smoothly, with musicians, minstrels, circus, etc. performing in sequence. Arthur even opened a giant pie wrapped in white doves.
Of course, in order to avoid such unlucky things as dead pigeons, King Hejian chopped Pi with a wooden sword.
Then, Arthur entered the area where the guests were and began to celebrate by clinking glasses with the noble knights present.
After half the scene, Arthur met a very special guest.
"Hey, isn't this Sandor the Chicken Leg Destroyer? We haven't seen each other for a few days, and he is wearing the brown robe of a monk?" He lowered his voice so that Sandor, who had his head lowered, would not be so embarrassed.
Arthur didn't have much dislike for Joffrey's personal bodyguard.
Sandor's early evil deeds were all due to the orders of Joffrey and Cersei. When Sansa was trapped in King's Landing, if Joffrey ordered Sansa to be slapped in the face, only Sandor refused to act and actively defended the history of history.
Miss Tucker's face.
As for his later behavior, it was more about surviving in troubled times. It is no wonder that the general environment is like this.
"Bless you, my majesty." Sandor, who had just been engrossed in eating, calmly raised his head, said a kind word in a deep voice, and continued to eat his own chicken legs.
"Eat well, and don't disturb him." Although he didn't understand why Sandor Clegane sneaked in, Arthur ordered the people around him to do something to him.
Then King Hejian continued his behavior of clinking glasses.
Sansa, who had been paying attention to her husband, also saw the disgraced hound.
She stepped down from the high seat, moved to Sandor's side, and began to greet Clegane.
Sandor himself had an inexplicable fondness for the little bird Miss Stark, so he told Sansa all his experiences.
"...After Arya left me, I was revived by an old monk. He was recruited to read the Seven Star Bible here, so I followed him."
The new queen sighed, "What happened to you is really unfortunate! So what are your plans in the future? Will you continue to follow Meribald and become a real monk? Or find a job with me and my husband?"
Sandor shook his head and said: "I can't think clearly at the moment. Maybe I can discuss it with Meribald and give you my answer."
He actually wanted to protect the little bird, but because he lost Arya, Sandor felt a little ashamed.
Sansa, who was wearing a solid gold ring crown, nodded gently and said, "When you have made up your mind, go to the main castle to find me."
After saying that, she turned around and returned to her seat, continuing to stare at her handsome husband.
After the wedding banquet was almost over, Arthur and Sansa followed the scheduled procedures and went to the town of Heron outside the city for a tour.
This has three advantages: firstly, it shows the image of the new king and queen as being close to the people; secondly, it avoids the bad habit of the wife's family having a wedding ceremony, because Sansa doesn't have many relatives in the Riverlands, and she doesn't want to be ripped off a few things.
clothing;
Third, let various enemy forces believe that the River King really held a wedding with Sansa Stark at Harrenhal.
Because Sansa ordered people to prepare a large amount of fish and meat, tens of thousands of common people in Harren Town finally had a meal with meat, so the wedding of this couple received the heartfelt blessings of the common people.
In the more scientifically and neatly planned new town area, countless people crowded on both sides of the road, expressing their prayers to the new king and queen with thousands of tongues.
"May the seven gods bless your majesties."
"Your Majesty the Queen looks so strong, I think she can give birth to five or six children for the King."
"May you live long!"
After the inspection, it was already dusk, and the nobles returned to their rooms to rest.
Arthur and Sansa also finished washing up in time and started a shocking battle.
