Chapter Thirteen
Bunir's origins are unknown, but some people have heard him say that he came from the Imperial City.
Before Henry became Oran's steward, Bunir was already the most famous chef in Oran. Later, he was invited to the castle to serve the lord's two meals a day full-time. He was one of the few people who stayed long enough and did not take sides.
All previous lords liked Bunir's cooking and were very tolerant towards him. Bunir was not loyal to any lord, nor to Henry. It was his habit to praise people. If he disliked someone, he would directly complain.
.Being an excellent chef in Oran is quite popular. Even though Ryan doesn't think the food Bunir cooks is delicious, people who have tasted it still find it delicious.
Following Ryan into the kitchen, the eyes of Emily and others behind them were full of expectation. They were curious about the precious delicacies that Ryan mentioned during the day, and even Bunir knew about it.
"It's not a big deal."
Hearing Bunir's inquiry, Ryan nodded slightly and looked sideways at Al and Toby, "Take out all the grey-headed duck eggs you just collected."
Al and Toby were very excited when they heard this, and carefully put down the rag bags they had held in their arms.
"I'm very sorry, respected lord." Asa lowered his head, not daring to look at Ryan, his voice full of humility and apology, "I accidentally lost the grey-headed duck eggs I found."
He is also a sinner, Asa secretly thought in his heart, he betrayed Ryan, and he should die with Moses instead of standing here in shame.
But that potion...
Ryan looked at him and asked, "This is not entirely your fault. It was Moses who threatened you, right?"
Hearing Ryan ask this, Asa couldn't help but lower his head lower, and finally said in a very low voice, "Yes, Lord, I'm sorry for the mistake I just made."
The others didn't know why, and Al and Toby slowed down in taking the eggs out of the bag, and began to feel a little panicked.
Ryan likes people with honest personalities, so he looked at Asa and continued: "The real sinner is dead. Although you are guilty, your crime is not worthy of death. I will seriously think about what kind of punishment you should receive, but it is dinner time now.
Let’s wait until tomorrow to talk about everything.”
He saw the curiosity in everyone's eyes, but it didn't matter, curiosity would cause more people to discuss it.
Only by spreading the word about Henry and Moses' crimes can Lane's reputation be protected from damage.
Asa raised his head when he heard this, somewhat unbelievable.
Al and Toby looked happy, they looked at each other, and at the same time gave a few grey-headed duck eggs to Asa.
Asa shook his head and refused: "I can't have it."
"Hurry up and take it." Al and Toby forced the eggs into his arms, "These are yours."
Although Asa still followed Moses' order and took the Flame Tiger's cub, if he really wanted to do this, Ryan's counterattack this time would never go so smoothly.
Al and Toby both knew that among all the members of the guard, only Asa had the fastest running speed, and the cub of the Flame Tiger did not weigh much. Asa had clearly had enough time to kill the Flame Tiger before.
The tiger cub stole to Ryan, but he lingered in the forest for a long time and deliberately made such a big noise.
Everyone listening to the words stood silently and hid their curiosity in their hearts. They only dared to ask for the truth after Ryan left.
After Al and Toby finished their discussion, Ryan looked down at the grey-headed duck eggs in front of them, counted them carefully, and took out a pile of copper coins from the space ring, "I bought a grey-headed duck egg at the price of 5 copper coins.
You have picked up a total of 32. Here are 160 copper coins. The three of you can distribute them among yourself."
"Oh my god."
The maid at the end couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this. Everyone also looked surprised. This was the first time they heard that the lord would give money when he wanted to take something from the escort.
Besides, these are just some ordinary grey-headed duck eggs.
Even Al and Toby found it incredible. They didn't expect that what Ryan said was the truth.
Al swallowed his Adam's apple, looked away from the copper coins with some reluctance, and said firmly to Ryan: "Dear Lord, we can't take this money."
His monthly salary is only 50 copper coins!
What he said made his heart hurt so much!
Toby took a breath quietly and quickly echoed: "Yes, respected lord, this is just what we should do."
Ryan looked at the loyalty numbers on their panel, which rushed directly from plus and minus to plus 40. He slightly raised his lips with satisfaction, "This is what I promised before, and it is what you deserve. I don't want to follow my loyal sons."
People continue to live in poverty, and I don’t want to see unknown givers suffer unfair treatment.”
After the words were spoken, many people's eyes were red with emotion.
Money touches people's hearts, words soothe people's hearts, just these words and those copper coins, the same panels as Al and the others suddenly appeared on many people's heads, including Emily and Ma Lian, their loyalty also rushed to 40.
Bunir restrained his subtle eyes and glanced at Ryan. Although there was no panel above his head, he did not continue to praise him against his will, "Then the delicacies you mentioned this morning are referring to these grey-headed duck eggs."
?"
"Not only these duck eggs, but more importantly this -"
Ryan stroked his left hand with his right hand and took out a flower basket from the space ring, which contained some ripe golden-red tomatoes.
Bunir looked at the flower basket, hesitated for a second and said, "These fruits look very beautiful, but are they edible?"
"sure."
Ryan nodded, glanced at him, and then explained to everyone, "Before coming to Oran, I was lucky enough to meet a mysterious businessman, and he told me a story."
Ryan organized his words and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he continued: "According to legend, a long time ago, a beautiful goddess fell in love with an ordinary man. She expressed her love to the man, and he accepted it.
But on the night of the successful confession, the man died in the hands of the goddess's admirer.
The heartbroken goddess held the man's body and walked into the forest. When she buried the body, she shed bloody tears in her eyes. Finally, a tree grew out of the soil, and the fruit on it was called the lover's fruit by later generations.
"
The system hesitated and asked in Ryan's mind: "Why haven't I heard this story?"
Ryan replied naturally: "I made it up now."
System: "What's the use?"
Ryan: "It can increase your net worth. If you don't believe it, just look at it."
Only then did the system discover that the emotional Ma Lian shed tears on the spot after hearing the story. She wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand and whispered to Emily, "This is really a miserable love story."
System: "Wonderful."
I can easily make up hundreds of these illogical stories every minute, but Ryan can actually put them into practice. He is really a master!
Emily, who had never heard such a story, had moist eyes. She looked at the flower basket in Ryan's hand and asked, "Is this the Lover's Fruit you just mentioned in the story? What's hidden inside that red coat must be the goddess's.
Sad, oh... God, she is so pitiful."
Ryan: "?"
system:"?"
"Yes." Ryan's jaw remained calm: "This is the love fruit I bought from the mysterious merchant. It is not only beautiful but also edible. It can be used to scramble eggs after simple cleaning and peeling. Just add
A little salt makes the finished product taste great.”
Bunir didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so he carefully took the flower basket, took out a lover fruit, and tried to peel off the thin outer skin with a knife.
Ryan reminded him, "Make some incisions and scald them with hot water for a few seconds to easily peel them off."
Bunir, who had never seen such a special fruit before, obeyed.
The rest of the people watched silently. Rather than using it as food, they felt that the lover fruit was not only beautiful but also romantic.
Ryan suddenly asked in his mind: "Does the scrambled duck eggs with tomatoes taste weird? I used to scramble eggs."
God, it was only then that he realized this problem.
