Pubry and Marcus stroked the silk and porcelain in their hands with excitement, feeling the delicate lubrication of the surface of the silk and porcelain, which was even more addictive than the girl's skin. Gruth, who was next to him, couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, these silk and porcelain are all yours. You can go home to touch them slowly at night. I also brought some good wine and dishes from Dasong. Do you want to try it?"

Hearing Gruth's joke, Pubry and the others finally smiled embarrassedly, and put down the silk and porcelain in their hands. However, Marcus suddenly said in confusion: "I heard it right, you can definitely bring good wine, but how do you bring good dishes? It's not that you just made it by the chef of the Oriental people?"

Gruth smiled mysteriously when he questioned his old friend, and then took out eight glass bottles from the big bag on the counter again, and there was also a wine jar. Looking at these things, Pubry and Marcus both showed confusion. However, Gruth opened a few cans and said to Pubry: "Go and get a few plates to serve the dishes!"

Although Pubry was a little confused, he turned around and took out a few plates. Of course, there were no porcelain plates at home, but ordinary wooden plates. Gruth poured the canned items into the plate. One flower was four meat, four vegetables, and eight dishes, and there was also a jar of good wine. When he slapped off the mud seal on the jar and removed the sealing paper at the jar, Marcus, the drunkard next to him, immediately lit up. He had drunk wine for so many years, but had never smelled such a strong wine.

"It smells so good. What's the name of this dish? Did you really bring it from the Song Dynasty?" Pubry was not very interested in wine, but was very interested in canned food. When Gruth poured the canned food into the plate, he picked up a piece of braised pork with his fingers and put it in his mouth. As a result, he immediately praised it after tasting it.

"Of course, the Song people processed the food and put it into glass bottles, called it canned food, which can be stored for one or two years and will not deteriorate. We sailed on the sea for nearly a year, and a large part of the food was supported by canned food!" Gruth said with great emotion at this time, thinking that when he and Agnes and others escaped from Europe, they often hungry on the boat. Either they ate some spoiled food, but this time they came to Europe, they had sufficient supplies, and it was as easy as a trip.

"It's amazing. The food that has been preserved for so long has not deteriorated at all, but it also tastes so good. I really want to go to the Song Dynasty to take a look!" Pubry said while tasting several other dishes. He liked every dish very much. After all, ordinary people like him usually can't eat anything good. Naturally, he feels very novel and delicious about this kind of delicacy from the Song Dynasty.

In contrast, Marcus was more interested in fine wine, especially after seeing that Pubry had already started eating, he picked up the wine jar without hesitation, poured a bowl of wine for both himself and Gruth, and immediately picked up the bowl and delivered it to his mouth. However, as soon as he took the first sip, Marcus suddenly froze there, his face was red, and his mouth seemed to have a corduroy soldering iron in his mouth. He couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't bear to vomit it out. As a result, he was stalemate for a long time before he suddenly stretched out his neck and swallowed the wine.

"What a strong wine!" It was not until then that Marcus finally spit out a few words, then reached out and grabbed a few pieces of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, but his stomach was still hot. Although Marcus was an alcoholic, there was no distilled wine in Rome, so the wine was very low. Gruth brought the distilled wine from the Song Dynasty this time. He drank so hard all of a sudden, he naturally suffered.

"Haha, I've suffered a lot. You can't drink this wine in big sips, but you have to taste it in small sips, so that you can taste the taste of the wine!" Gruth also laughed loudly when he saw Marcus's embarrassing look. However, when he first drank this kind of wine, he looked no better than Marcus. As for the words of tasting, he copied it from others.

"Huh~" Marcus ate several big mouthfuls of food before he breathed a sigh of relief. He felt a little better in his stomach, but his face was still hot. He said to Gruth, "What a good wine. It's the first time I've drunk wine for so many years. It's the first time I've drunk such a mellow wine, but it's just a little too strong. Do people in the Song Dynasty like to drink strong wine?"

"Haha, this is not. There are also lighter wines in the Song Dynasty. This kind of spirit wine has not appeared for a long time, but it is very popular in the army, especially in our navy, which is always at sea. It is said that drinking some wine is good for the body, so our ships are filled with this kind of spirit wine." Gruth explained with a smile.

"Is this wine really that strong?" Pubry asked at this time with some disbelief, then reached out and picked up the wine bowl and tasted it carefully. As a result, he was so spicy that he was flirting with his eyes. He hurriedly stuttered with food before he could calm down, which made Gruth and Marcus both laugh.

The three of them chatted while drinking. Of course, Gruth mainly talked about his experiences over the years, especially his life in the Song Dynasty. For Pubry and Marcus, everything in the Song Dynasty was so novel. Different lifestyles, different customs, and all kinds of new things that were never heard of and never seen made them both seem to be listening to a myth.

Gruth also stated in the story that he had already married and had children in the Song Dynasty. He originally wanted to marry a woman from the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty was still a little repulsive to them, such as the yellow-haired and blue-eyed Hu people. Even though he was the guard of the Yue Palace and had a very high status, he still couldn't find a woman willing to marry him. In the end, he could only marry a Persian Hu Shang daughter. Now he already has a son, but this time he did not come to Europe with him.

Hearing that Gruth had already got married and had children, Marcus and Pubrey congratulated him together. Then Gruth also asked about the two friends about the situation. When he heard that Pubrey had dared not open the door to do business before, and as soon as he opened the door, he met a team of Song soldiers who came to buy bread, he couldn't help laughing: "Pubry, the army of the Song Dynasty was very strict. Without orders from superiors, they would definitely not disturb the people, so the business should be done as usual. If someone comes to buy it, you will collect money. Tell you that those soldiers are very rich. If you can do business to the army, it is impossible not to make a fortune!"

"That's great. With your words from Gruth, I'll feel relieved. I'll make more bread tomorrow. I hope more Song people will come to me to buy bread!" Pubry said happily when he heard this.

"Gruth, can you show me your knife?" At this moment, Marcus, who had been drinking a bowl of wine, suddenly asked Gruth with his eyes lit up. He had long been very envious of the Song army's weapons and equipment. He didn't know the Song army before, so he didn't dare to speak. However, now Gruth also has weapons on him, so he naturally has nothing to be embarrassed about.

Gruth also knew that Marcus's ancestors were blacksmiths in the city of Rome for generations, and his skills in creating weapons were very exquisite, so he understood it very much when he heard his request. He immediately untied his sword from his waist and sent it to Marcus and said, "For this, this is a standard sword in the army. Every Song army has one in his hand, but the quality is quite good."

Marcus took the knife with his eyes radiated, and then pulled it out. As a result, the blade body was as clear as water, and the lines of the knife were extremely smooth. Then Marcus carefully observed the blade and even wiped it with his fingers. As a result, a hole was immediately cut on the skin on his fingers, which made him sigh: "Good knife! What a good knife! This knife not only has a smooth shape, but also uses excellent steel. Its mass is much stronger than the weapons in Rome!"

"That's of course, before going to the Song Dynasty, it is impossible to imagine the wealth and power of the Song Dynasty. As far as I know, the territory of the Song Dynasty is ten times that of the Holy Roman Empire, and its population is dozens of times that of ours. The entire Song Dynasty has an army of millions. Think about how much it will cost to equip each soldier with such weapons, not to mention that there are more valuable firearms, warships, etc. in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that if the Song Dynasty sends an army at will, it may sweep across Europe. So this time, Princess Agnes returns and regains the throne!" Gruth said with confidence at this time.

If Agnes could ascend the throne, Gruth, as the most loyal guard around the princess, would definitely be reused in the future, but this also made him very confused, because he didn't know whether to move his home back to Europe or to stay in the Song Dynasty? After all, in comparison, the conditions in all aspects of Europe were too poor. Not to mention anything else, just some daily necessities, staying in Europe after getting used to the convenience of the Song Dynasty was simply a torture for him.

"Nee~" It turns out that the Song Dynasty was so powerful. I originally thought they were about the same as the Seljuk Turks at most, but now after you say that, it turns out that the Song Dynasty was actually even stronger than the Seljuks." Marcus couldn't help but say in shock when he heard this.

"The Seljuks are just a group of barbaric nomadic peoples. How can they compare with the Song Dynasty? Although the Song Dynasty has experienced many dynasties, if we count it, their history is even longer than our Rome. As early as a thousand years ago, their history books contained records of our Rome. It was just that the distance between the two countries was too far away, so there was no exchange. But now it is different. The ships of the Song Dynasty can already reach us, and the exchanges between the two countries will be more frequent in the future.
