About 2 hours later, Annick and Old Betsy kept chatting, and it was said that Old Betsy was just complaining about his two sons.

The eldest son is a businessman, mainly engaged in maritime trade between the kingdoms of Bruguet. The younger son has recently been rebellious and did not follow his parents' arrangements to go to law school and became a navy instead. The relationship between father and son has become very tense.

Annick fell asleep listening to this, and just as he was about to fall asleep, the two sisters returned to the ward. Irena was holding a wooden basket in her hand, and Irina was holding a glass bottle.

"Well, you don't know that it took us an hour to find a restaurant that sells rice." Irena said as she took out a mini wooden bucket from the wooden basket, then took out a spoon and handed it to Annick along with the wooden bucket.

.

Irina also handed over the glass bottle, and through the glass she could see clearly that it contained orange liquid.

"Not beer?" Annick pulled out the cork, and a fresh smell of orange hit his face.

"You're still injured, so you better stop drinking. Try this. The salesman said it tastes much better than ordinary juice."

Annick took a sip and immediately became energetic because of the familiar taste.

The sweet and sour taste stimulates the taste buds, and the carbon dioxide bubbles up in the stomach. Although it is not as gassy as the Fanta on Earth and is sweeter, it can still be regarded as a soda.

"Is there actually soda?" The earliest soda on earth became popular in the first industrial era with Prislet's invention of the saturated carbonated water manufacturing device.

Annick gave up drinking after making this decision after drinking in the hospital.

"Of course, it's just not cheap. Such a small bottle actually costs 2 pence." Irina replied.

"Ah, so expensive? Rye beer only costs a penny a cup."

Annick did a quick calculation in his mind. Such a small bottle of early soda cost 10 yuan. It seemed that the plan to replace drinking water with soda could not be implemented.

"Eat quickly, or you'll get cold." Irena urged.

Opening the lid of the wooden barrel, it is covered with a mixture of potatoes and beef, which is more like beef curry on earth. Below is rice. Compared with rice that has been domesticated and bred on earth for thousands of years,

The rice here is more like cooked broken rice, with smaller and shorter rice grains.

Annick mixed the beef with a big mouthful of rice and ate it. The rice had a nutty aroma and was accompanied by the deliciousness of the beef. He swallowed it without having time to taste it carefully.

At this moment, tears kept flowing down from the corners of his eyes. He didn't know why he was transported to this strange planet.

The feeling of homesickness and missing my family suddenly burst out after eating rice and drinking soda.

"Is it so delicious?" Irena asked after seeing her second brother's expression.

"It's nothing, I just choked. How much does this meal cost?" Annick asked, wiping tears from the corners of his eyes.

"It's 2 shillings. Irina and I showed off our girlish charm and begged the boss to erase the last digit."

Annick almost threw the barrel and the spoon out. It looked like a rice bowl that cost the dock worker a day's wages, but he had already bought it and had to continue eating it.

"Next time let's go visit those specialized import and export markets. Your brother and I can make rice in various ways."

Annick said confidently that it was hard to describe his cooking skills at first, but in this Kingdom of Bruguet where most of the dishes are either grilled or stewed, he should be able to show off his cooking skills.

By the way, I went to look for a wok. If not, could I draw a sketch and go to the blacksmith shop to customize one?

"You really know how to do it?" Irena said doubtfully.

After finishing the meal and returning the barrel to the two sisters, Annick continued to lie down after a few casual words.

At noon, Mrs. Betsy brought a thick Kerranger's Daily and Mr. Betsy's lunch sandwich.

Old Betsy handed Annick half, about two or three, and then the two of them began to read each other.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Annick went to the bathroom. The attending doctor came over in a white coat and changed Annick's gauze.

The left arm that was bitten and seriously injured by the giant wolf has stopped bleeding. Pink tender meat has grown out next to the sutures about 2 inches long on both sides. The doctor applied purple-red-brown iodine to the wound to disinfect and prevent infection.

.

"Your resilience is amazing. I feel like you can remove the stitches in a week. You're lucky that you didn't hurt any bones. Looking at the wound, you were bitten by a lion. Why did you faint for so long?" The doctor wearing a cotton mask completed the new surgery.

I asked after bandaging.

"It's a small thing. It was indeed bitten by a lion. Someone actually smuggled this thing privately in the port warehouse. I'm afraid it wasn't sold to the circus."

Annick replied with an awkward smile. I wanted to tell you if we were attacked by a werewolf, would you send us to a mental hospital?

"That's good. In addition to the anti-inflammatory drugs for internal use, I also need to prescribe you some painkillers?"

"Painkillers? They're not addictive, are they?" Annick remembered that most of the earliest painkillers were poppy extracts, but was still a little worried?

"An extract of a small fruit from the Southern Continent. It won't be addictive if used once in a while, but it may cause you to fall into mild hallucinations."

"I think I can handle it, I won't need it for now." Annick was still a little scared after hearing the doctor's words.

"Okay, if you feel you can't bear it, go call the nurse. Even high-strength white wine can relieve the pain. A small glass of it occasionally will be fine. Anti-inflammatory medicine is taken twice a day, two tablets at a time. Take it half an hour before breakfast and dinner."

After the doctor said this, he left a small bottle of anti-inflammatory medicine for internal use and left.

Not long after the doctor left, Captain Parker came in with Patrolman Bell.

Captain Parker was still wearing his uniform, while Bell was wearing casual clothes and carrying two small baskets of fruit, including two or three common apples and pears.

"I heard you woke up and we came to see you." Captain Parker found a chair and sat down.

"The fruit was just put aside. I didn't expect you two to be injured. The captain asked me to temporarily take over your job." Bell put the fruit on the wooden cabinet and complained at the same time.

"Whatever you kid knows, just do what you are told. From now on you have to study hard with Annick when I'm gone. It's best to save enough money to go to a grammar school, so that I can be worthy of your father who drowned in alcohol and follow you."

He went with me, mother." Old Betsy scolded her on the bed.

"Oh, I understand, uncle." With only four people from the police station here, Bell acted like a primary school student being scolded.

"Bell, go and guard the door. I have something to talk to Betsy and Annick. If anyone wants to come in, please knock on the door first."
