Chapter 35 The authoritative endorser (please read
"Pastor Arlin?"
When he heard the name Xu Yun reported, William was stunned for a moment.
Immediately, he spread his left hand flat, made a fist with his right hand and struck it upward:
"Yes, you can find Pastor Yaerlin!"
During the European religious reform movement in the 16th century, Protestantism emerged from the Roman Ecumenical Church and became one of the three major Christian schools in later generations.
From an objective point of view, the Protestantism of the 16th to 18th centuries is indeed worthy of the word "new" in terms of its reputation and actions.
For example, the most famous thing is that they abolished the Atonement Scroll. They believed that people can contact God by themselves without the need for a priest to do it for them. That is to say, they abolished the 'intermediary' from the position of belief.
The Protestantism in Britain is more complicated. Although Britain also started Protestantism after the Reformation, the reason has little to do with doctrine:
The Protestantism in England was purely because the king wanted a divorce, but the Catholic Church did not agree and said there was no way.
So the king simply abandoned the Catholic Church and established himself as the supreme leader of English Protestantism, which continues to this day.
In other words, if the long-distance runner falls behind first, then the successor will also become the supreme leader of the Protestant church.
Therefore, many of the Protestant pastors in England today are actually related to the royal palace to a certain extent and are not simply Puritans. They are also allowed to own properties on the surface.
The quality of this is naturally a matter of opinion, but at least according to the rules, Protestant pastors can do business in partnership with other people at this time.
As for the pastor’s credibility at this point in time...
How can I put it, although it is not as outrageous as in the Middle Ages where you can fool the public at will, it is still easy to set up a live broadcast with goods.
Especially in this area of Lincolnshire, Arling's reputation has reached an extreme level both officially and among the people.
Just like local Pu Cunxin recommending cheap pots to aunts, the order rate is simply outrageous.
Therefore, when Xu Yun proposed the name, William and Mavericks did not hesitate and directly agreed to Xu Yun's idea of joining the team.
...........
Early the next morning.
Grantham.
Church of St. Titus.
The gray-haired Yaerlin was currently wearing coarse linen clothes and was laboriously wiping a seat after worship. In the singing practice room not far behind him, the choir was practicing singing a song.
hymn.
Arlin's full name is Arlin Dilat. He is fifty-nine years old. He graduated from St. John's College, Cambridge, and has been qualified as a priest for more than thirty years.
In addition to his pastoral duties, he also held corresponding political positions in the town of Grantham, and his family also owned a large estate in North Lincoln.
But Yaerlin's private life is not extravagant, it can even be said to be a bit monotonous.
On weekdays, in addition to reading the Bible and praying, he also goes to Sunday school to teach the children. He has food and accommodation in the church. His conduct is exactly the same as his appearance.
After all, Protestantism itself was the product of breaking away from Catholicism. Although there was a lot of shady material in the next one or two hundred years, it was still relatively clean in the early days of its emergence.
For example, when Mavericks was able to enter Trinity College, Yaerlin also contributed a lot, and the letter of introduction borrowed his name.
Of course.
Even in this period, people like Yaerlin are still in the minority, and others have more or less worldly desires.
"Dong dong dong——"
Just when Arlin was about to go back to the prayer room to read the holy book, there was a sudden knock on the door of the church.
Arlin quickly put down the rag, cleared his throat, and responded:
“May God have mercy, it’s coming, it’s coming!”
Today is Tuesday, not a regular time for worship, but Yaerlin is not surprised that someone comes to visit.
Even in later generations, some churches in Europe often had people visiting during the week, usually involving confession, solving doubts or mourning matters.
Arlin quickly walked to the door, took out the key, and unlocked the door.
As a ray of light came in, Arlin's linen clothes could not help but be stained with a little light, looking a bit like Gandalf the Gray in "The Lord of the Rings".
He first covered his eyes with one hand and adjusted to the light slightly. After seeing the person clearly, he raised his eyebrows in surprise:
"Oh, my God, Mr. William, little Isaac, and this...Mr. Fat Fish, right? Why are you here?"
Opposite him, Xu Yun's mouth twitched slightly:
Damn it, is the name Fat Fish so easy to pronounce?
Looking at the surprised Yaerlin, William and Mavericks stepped forward to hug him one after another, and then said:
"Pastor Yaerlin, there is something we want to talk to you about. Can we go in and talk?"
Yaerlin's eyes quickly swept over the three of them and nodded:
"Of course, please come with me."
After saying that, he led the three of them into the church and came to a reception room.
The reception room was very simply decorated, with just a few benches and a table, plus an oil lamp. There were some books and letters on the table.
"Hallelujah!"
After taking his seat, Yaerlin glanced at William curiously and asked:
"Mr. William, I don't often see you at this time. What, did something happen?"
Then he looked at the uncontrollable joy on William's face, suddenly an idea flashed and he looked at Mavericks suddenly:
"Let me guess, little Isaac and Lisa are getting engaged, so they are coordinating the wedding venue today..."
"no no!"
Hearing Yaerlin's words, Mavericks on the side couldn't sit still for the first time and waved his hands crazily:
Ya'erlin was stunned when he saw this, his eyes gently turned to Xu Yun, and he thought of something:
"Is that Lisa and Mr. Fat Fish?"
"Nor..."
Ya'erlin's breathing stopped for a few seconds, and his eyes suddenly looked weird when he looked at Xu Yun:
"Is it you and Mr. Fat Fish..."
"Stop it, stop it!"
Seeing that this respected old man was about to conjure up the scene of three people coming out as gay, Xu Yun quickly interrupted his free flow:
"It's not an emotional problem, Mr. William, please explain it quickly!"
William nodded slightly, his expression at this time also vaguely subtle:
If I read it correctly, Mavericks seemed to be a little bit excited when he mentioned his eldest daughter?
Is there something you are hiding from yourself?
But this thought only flashed through his mind. After all, there were more important things at the moment:
"Pastor Yaerlin, it's like this..."
Then William took out a small can of tomato sauce and introduced the whole thing to Yalin in detail, basically telling everything except the recipe:
"If you are interested, you can add one share in the name of an individual or a church.
You can rest assured that tomatoes are absolutely not poisonous, and this must be a business that is acceptable to God..."
William deliberately avoided the topic of formulas, which was also a back-up they left:
If Yaerlin wanted to leave him alone and eat alone, without a recipe, it would take at least two weeks to decipher the ketchup. Even though homemade ketchup only requires four ingredients, they are trying again and again.
The best ratio optimized by Zhongcai.
At this time, Mrs. William had already started making ketchup at home with her daughters. If the worst happened, William could immediately leave for Lincoln and other big cities.
Even if there is no guarantee from a person with high credibility, you can still make some money from the limelight.
"Tomato..."
Yaerlin stretched out his withered fingers, lightly dipped some red sauce, and observed it before his eyes:
“In fact, more than 20 years ago, some British scholars questioned the idea that tomatoes are poisonous.
It is very popular among the civilian class in Spain, but the fatality rate is not as high as rumored, and is even several orders of magnitude different.
When I visited the Spanish College of Guirañe, I saw edible tomatoes on the fruit platter for the reception banquet. I even tried one at that time, and there was no sign of poisoning at all.
But this is the first time I’ve seen a thick sauce made from other recipes. Judging from the taste, there must be something else added, right?”
Looking at Yaerlin talking eloquently, William was a little confused:
"Pastor Ya'erlin, what do you mean..."
Yaerlin thought for a while and said:
"I agreed to take part, not in my own name, but in the name of the Diocese of Grantham.
The diocese can provide sales channels and manpower, but you have to ensure that there are two things in place."
