The thick and heavy solid wood door was pushed open, and Takumi, wearing a thick leather jacket, walked into the warm stone house from the outside.
"Hey, Xiaobai!" Takumi greeted Xiaobai as soon as he came in, then found a place to sit down and tore into the food on the table.
"Hey, Xiaobai." Following Takumi is a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He is Takumi's son. His name is Kaihai. He looks almost the same as Takumi. He is simply a younger version of Takumi. He is almost 30cm tall.
He is 1.7 meters tall and has a strong back and a strong waist.
In the Scandinavian tribe, men will undergo a coming-of-age ceremony when they reach the age of eleven. A marlin, a symbol of Scandinavia, will be stabbed on their wrist or upper arm with fish bones. From then on, the boy becomes a man.
Although Kaihai looks only twelve or thirteen years old, he is already an adult. Because of his father Takumi, Kaihai's fighting ability is not weak. He is even better than some adults. He is a real little warrior.
.
"Hey, Kaihai, where have you been?" Xiaobai teased Kaihai.
"Go on patrol with father." Kaihai shrugged, sat next to Takumi, imitated his father's example, picked up the food on the table and ate it, looking like he wanted to stuff all the food into his stomach.
This is Takumi's education. Only by eating more can you grow strong, and only by growing strong can you gain the respect of more people.
Xiao Bai smiled and stopped talking, picked up the horn cup on the table and took a sip. It was such a cold winter, and there were still large chunks of ice floating in the drink. After taking a sip, Xiao Bai shuddered slightly and quickly swallowed it.
After the cold liquid entered the stomach, it suddenly changed from extremely cold to extremely hot. It was so hot that it warmed up the whole body. Xiaobai's face turned red and he exhaled a sigh of relief.
The drink he drank was Scandinavian specialty sea salt cider, a kind of wine brewed from a special fruit called sea salt fruit that grows on the seaside.
Sea salt fruit grows on rocks by the sea and requires watering with sea water to grow and survive. It blooms and bears fruit twice a year, once in spring and once in winter.
This kind of fruit is extremely bitter and has a terrible fishy smell. It cannot be eaten directly. However, after it is mashed and fermented, it has a special aroma. If it is distilled with large shells, you will get this kind of sea salt with a very good taste.
wine.
Speaking of which, Xiaobai still feels that it is magical. According to the Scandinavian tribesmen, sea salt fruit wine is the favorite of all of them. Both men, women and children like to drink it. The sea salt fruit produced in spring is used to brew sea salt fruit wine for summer consumption.
It is hot, but it can make the body feel cool and refreshing when it reaches the stomach. The sea salt fruit in autumn is used to brew sea salt fruit wine in winter, and it is also paired with ice cubes. The cooler the better, the cooler it is, the more heat it releases in the stomach.
big.
The stone house where Xiaobai drinks wine belongs to Takumi. It is much larger than other ordinary stone houses. It has a special name called Big Food House.
A big food house is not something that ordinary tribesmen can own, and it is very expensive to build. The owner must be powerful in Scandinavia. A big food house means a restaurant or a large canteen for entertaining guests, but diners eat here.
Drinking is free of charge and everything is paid for by the owner of the restaurant.
In contrast, the diners in the big restaurant acquiesce to the master's status and automatically become the master's helpers and companions, and cannot betray easily.
It's a bit like the ancient princes and nobles who kept diners in captivity. I gave you food and you helped me do things.
Generally, the owner of a big restaurant has a boat and can go to sea. Only in this way can he support a group of people to work for him. When he goes to sea, those who eat in the restaurant are sailors and have to go to sea with the owner.
The harvest after going to sea is usually 8 points. The diners take two portions and the host takes eight portions. At the same time, the owner must continue to allow the diners to eat in his big dining room to prevent them from starving to death.
Whether a person in Scandinavia is strong or not can be clearly shown from the big restaurant. The bigger the big restaurant is, the more luxurious it is, and the more diners there are, it proves that the higher the status and ability of the owner of the big restaurant.
The stronger you are, the more money you have.
Oh, by the way, Xiaobai also made a surprising discovery, that is, there is money in Scandinavia, and it is gold!
The entire member tribes of the Poseidon Alliance recognize gold as their currency, not the dried meat that Xiaobai is familiar with.
In the Poseidon Alliance, you can buy anything you want with gold, and the Poseidon Alliance already has metalware, ironware, copperware, and even other metalware, but the Scandinavian tribe
The people still like to use their specialty traditional weapon - fish bone steak.
Xiaobai has been following Takumi since he came to Scandinavia. Naturally, he eats at his big restaurant. Takumi is quite popular in Scandinavia and has about thirty people under his command. They usually gather in the big restaurant.
Eat something.
After going back and forth, Xiaobai became familiar with these diners and got a lot of information from their mouths. Only then did he realize that going to sea is not just casual. Going to sea is a good job. It is better than doing nothing on land and waiting to die.
It is strong, so not everyone can go to sea. Only those who are close to the owner of the big restaurant have the opportunity to go to sea, and others can only stay on the shore.
The ships in Scandinavia are made of wood and the shells of marine life. They are divided into three types: large, medium and small. The corresponding full capacity is 50, 40 and 0 people. Although Takumi is very popular in Scandinavia, it is also
It's just a small boat, and it can only carry 0 people if it is fully loaded. If you go to sea, you have to leave a place to put the cargo, and you can only carry 0 people if it is full.
What makes Xiaobai happy is that whether they are big boats or small boats, they are all prepared for entering the deep sea. They have sails, are strong, and can sail in the ocean for a longer time. They are not prepared for offshore fishing.
Xiao Bai looked around. There were not many people in the big restaurant. Although the big restaurant prepared food for a long time, most of the time the number of people only increased during meals. Although it was lively now, many people were still huddled in their stone houses.
.
Those who come to the big food hall do not come here to eat, but to play a game - Pai Gow.
Yes, it was a folk game from Xiaobai's previous life. Because life in Scandinavia was too boring, Xiaobai remembered it and immediately made it, seducing a group of bored tribesmen to come over and play. At this time, he was shouting.
He kept drinking, and the cards made of bones were smashed.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Xiaobai stood up with a horn cup and sat down opposite Takumi.
Takumi put down the food in his hand and looked at Xiaobai. He knew that Xiaobai had something to say. After getting along with him this winter, he also got to know Xiaobai a little. He was a curious person who was full of interest in everything and had a lively mind.
If you have more points and more ideas, your combat effectiveness will be stronger, at least not weaker than yourself. (To be continued)
