"My father is having a banquet at home tonight?" Claude was stunned.
"Yes, when I went out in the morning, I heard my father tell my mother that he went to your house for a banquet in the evening and would not come back to eat. Your father invited a lot of people, and Boa's father was also invited. It seems
What are they going to discuss at your house..."
"Is that so..." It's really not a good idea to go home now. When his father saw him coming home, he had to stand in the dining room to wait on him. It wasn't that there were no servants to wait on him at the banquet. What his father meant was to make him look taller.
To gain experience, listen more to the exchanges between the guests and become familiar with them. According to him, this is a network of connections.
"Why are you still standing there? Put down your schoolbag. By the way, I have to go home to get some beef, mutton and seasonings. You said you would show off your skills at night and let us see what real barbecue is." Ai
Rickson said.
"Did I say that?"
"Of course, during the third period in the afternoon, I told Boa that your family was having a banquet that night and decided not to go home to eat. I asked you and you agreed. Later, Vero said that he would have a barbecue in the evening and he didn't go home to sleep.
, we will stay here tonight. You said that Vero’s last barbecue was not delicious, so you will let him know what real barbecue is tonight... No, you have forgotten it?"
"Uh..." Claude touched his head in embarrassment.
To be honest, I don’t even know how I came here in the afternoon. I was all focused on the magic recipe book in my schoolbag. Everything I said to my friends in class was just perfunctory and I had forgotten all about it. How could I have known that I had agreed to it?
What.
But I have to calm down now. I have already got the magic recipe book. There is no need to rush home to check it out. Anyway, my father is having a banquet at home that night. I can't be clean when I go back. Instead, I will be sent to the restaurant to wait on the gang.
drunkard.
What my father said about being knowledgeable and getting in touch with the upper class in the town was all nonsense. The banquets of the real upper class should be the ones I saw on TV in my previous life, with beautiful women, well-dressed and polite guests,
Music and wine go hand in hand...
Instead of a group of rough old men eating and drinking around the dining table, each competing to see who can have a louder voice and drink more wine. In the end, they either get under the table or lie on the table and have a drunken sleep. Occasionally, some of the drunken ones even vomit.
It was everywhere, and the smell was so bad that I had to clean it up myself...
Forget it, I won't go back. Claude decisively decided to go back later in the evening. At least he had to wait until the banquet was over and all the guests had gone back. Otherwise, he would not be able to go home in peace.
"Sorry, I really forgot." Claude admitted his mistake and threw his schoolbag on the bed: "Okay, I will show you my skills tonight and let you see what real barbecue is. By the way, Ike
, when you go home to get the meat, look to see if there are any chicken wings, and if so, bring some over, then they will be truly delicious when grilled."
"Chicken wings? Aren't chickens roasted whole? Why only wings?" Erikson muttered and went home.
"Claude, what's wrong with you this afternoon? Are you feeling uneasy?" Bockard, who was paralyzed on the bed, asked, "Is it because you owe money for buying that cookbook?"
Claude pondered for a moment and nodded: "I don't know why. I was thinking about buying that cookbook when I was in the store, but I regretted it when I thought about it in the afternoon. After all, one silver taler and three riaso
It is a huge sum of money to me now, and I promised to repay it within three days. I feel uneasy when I think of this..."
Bockaar laughed: "Maybe that recipe suits your taste, so you have to buy it. I have had this experience before. My father took me shopping, and I fell in love with a wooden swordfish toy.
I wanted to buy it, but when the shopkeeper saw that I liked it, he offered me a high price and refused to sell it cheaper. When my father got angry, he dragged me away.
But after I got home, I didn't think about food and dinner, and I was thinking about this swordfish toy. In the end, my mother had no choice but to secretly ask a servant to buy the swordfish toy for me at a high price, and I was satisfied. Only after one
Over the weeks, I lost interest in the swordfish toy, and it ended up gathering dust in the storage room.
My father warned me that it is taboo for me to behave like this in the business world. To be a qualified businessman, you must control your own desires and not let others know your preferences easily. Otherwise, it will be easy for others to take advantage of loopholes and cause losses. Therefore.
I went to find the swordfish toy again and put it on the table to remind myself not to forget this lesson."
"Thank you Boa, I think I understand, and I will remember this lesson in the future." Claude was very fortunate that Boa's words perfectly explained why he had to buy this cookbook.
Bockar sat up from the bed and said seriously: "Claude, you don't need to take the debt to heart. For you now, one silver tale and three riaso are indeed a very heavy burden.
Sorry, I don't doubt your ability, but I know it will be difficult for you to repay the money in a short period of time, and I don't want you to do something irrational to repay the money, or even be punished by your father for it.
Reprimand. It would be bad if it affects our plan to go to Bailuzhou."
Waving his hand to stop Claude who was about to speak, Bockaar continued: "I have already done the math. We have already bought most of the supplies that need to be bought. The main things that need to be spent next are these aspects. First.
It was the rent of old Sonny's small single-sail fishing boat, three riaso and two sunars. This was the biggest expense.
The second one is food. Because we are going to stay in Bailuzhou for two days and two nights, we plan to buy two riyals of food. We are going to buy more delicious food. In fact, we can save this expenditure. Everyone from
Let's bring some from our respective homes to make it work. In addition, Vero and Ike both brought muskets, and I also have a stone crossbow at home. I believe that with these weapons, we will not be without harvests on Bailu Island. Maybe we can just rely on hunting.
Can fill the stomach.
The third one is potion, which is also necessary to prepare. We are going to spend three riyals to buy these three kinds of detoxification potion, blood replenishing potion and treatment potion. But now thinking about it, we can save this money, because we
If everything goes well on this trip to Bailuzhou, I won't need to use these potions. Then I can steal a few potions from the stock potions in my store at home, and Ike can also get a few potions from the medicine box on his ship, and wait.
We'll give it back when we come back.
The last item on the list to purchase is four bottles of kale, five sunars a bottle. We are going to buy four bottles and need two riasols. Now that I think about it, there is no need to spend this money. After all, we are going to Bailu.
On our adventure in Europe, bringing wine not only adds to our burden, but may also affect our hunting. Vero said that those animals have a very keen sense of smell and can smell the smell of wine from a long distance away. So I think it’s better not to
We brought wine, but we talked about hunting some good prey and selling the furs at a good price.
After calculation, in fact, what we really need to spend is the old Sonny's boat rental fee, and other expenses can be saved. I think I should be able to get this money from home, and Ike can also get it from his mother.
Some. There are still three days until Friday. We can still go to Bailuzhou for a two-day vacation as planned, so you don’t have to worry about the debt. We are good friends and will not force you to pay back the money."
Claude would be sincerely grateful to his three good partners. To be honest, although he got the magic recipe book, he didn't pay much attention to the silver tale and the three riaso, but after all, this money
It was the money for my friends' adventure to Bailuzhou. It was indeed difficult to borrow it to buy recipes and promised to repay it within three days.
If I can't repay the money and everyone's plan to go to Bailuzhou adventure is aborted, I will feel very guilty. Boa, Ike, and Vero have been planning for more than ten days, and they are excitedly hoping to be able to do so.
As Wei Luo said, you can have a good adventure in Bailuzhou and even have some good harvests.
Claude was originally planning to go to his father and ask for money if he had no other choice. Although he would be scolded, but because he said that he bought this antique cookbook as a birthday gift for his mother, he believed that his father would still give him the money.
But in that case, he wouldn't be able to keep this magic recipe book in his hands. His father would store it and show it off when guests come. This would add countless resources to his study of this magic recipe book.
trouble.
The best way is that the family does not know the existence of this recipe book, or wait until you have finished researching it before taking it out, but the problem caused by this is that you cannot collect so much money in three days. Even if you are a time traveler, this recipe
For more than half a year, I really haven't discovered or found any good opportunities to make a fortune, because my identity in time travel is just a sixteen-year-old junior high school student.
"Thank you very much, Boa." Claude couldn't help but stepped forward and hugged Bockaar: "You have helped me a lot. Originally, I had to beg my father if I wanted to pay back the money within three days, but in that case
A scolding is inevitable, and you may even be punished for it. As for my eldest brother, you know, if he knew about this, he would definitely make a fuss at home. I don’t want to get into trouble just because I gave my mother a birthday gift.
It’s causing a lot of trouble at home, and I’m having a headache this afternoon.”
Letting go of Bockar, Claude said sincerely: "I sincerely thank you for your kindness, but please don't worry, I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible. What if we go to Bailuzhou this time?
If there is a harvest, I will repay you my income first when I come back."
Bockaar smiled: "We are good friends and best friends. Didn't you say that best friends should share blessings and share hardships?"
…
The four teenagers who had eaten and drank enough were sitting or lying on the wooden trestle, with the gentle lapping of the lake in their ears and the starry night sky above their heads.
"Claude, your barbecue skills are really amazing. I never knew chicken wings were so delicious. You know, no one ate the wings of my barbecue chicken before..." Ericson said with satisfaction.
Picking his teeth with a small wooden stick.
Claude didn't answer, but looked at the stars with some melancholy. His barbecue skills were learned from his old university in his previous life. He said that he went to America to buy mines and stayed for two years, and then learned how to make Brazilian barbecue. Later, he used this skill.
Taking Brazilian barbecue with you to pick up girls is always a win-win situation...
"You ate two of the four chicken wings by yourself, and I didn't grab any of them." Verricro said he was very hurt.
Erikson smiled like a fox: "Who told you to grab the chicken legs first when you thought there was more chicken legs? This time we only have two chickens. I will ask them to prepare more chickens next time."
"Ike, what will you do when you grow up?" Claude suddenly asked.
"When I grow up?" Erikson thought for a moment and replied: "I want to be a captain, like my dad. But my Red Sea Shark is too small. I hope to be able to drive a very big ship."
Big ocean-going ships sailing on the sea."
"What about you? Boa..."
"When I grow up, I will follow my father's footsteps and become a successful businessman." Bock Al paused: "But I hope to open my business throughout the entire kingdom, instead of just operating in the three southwest counties.
"
"What about Vero?"
"My father said that after I graduate from junior high school, I will hunt with him for a year and then join the army when I turn 18 to earn myself a national identity."
"By the way, Claude, you haven't said what you want to do when you grow up..."
"Me? I don't know..." Claude looked at the starry sky and said leisurely: "I have a wish, I want to travel around the whole world. Maybe I want to be an explorer. But I don't know if my wish can
