Chapter 8 Received Two Attendants (Part 2)

Through conversations halfway, Marin learned that the Kahn family was originally a serf from a nearby landlord's family. However, since Kahn began to develop in the past few years, he was particularly able to eat, and one person could eat the food of three people.

Although Kahn is also more powerful. If he is placed in any knight leader, Kahn might be recruited as a knight attendant. Because Kahn has the potential to become a powerful general.

However, the owner of the manor where the Kahn family is located is just an ordinary landlord and squire and does not need to be a meal. In addition, the manor has not had a good harvest in recent years, so last year, the Kahn family was swept out.

Kahn's father, Zmairman, knew some carpenter work, so he went to the city to work for the carpenter's shop. Kahn, with his mother, two younger brothers and little sister, built a simple wooden house next to the Black Forest. Usually, Kahn went to the forest to pick up dead branches as firewood (logging requires approval from the lord) and sold them to the city people to earn some money.

Kahn's mother took her younger brothers and sisters to the forest to pick wild fruits and mushrooms, dried them as food...

Because Kahn ate a lot, even though Zmmelmann's income was good, his family also tried hard to find ways to subsidize the household income. However, everyone was still very nervous.

This year, Kahn is already 18 years old. Zmmelman originally took Kahn to the city at the beginning of the year, intending to let him be an apprentice. However, after seeing Kahn's terrifying appetite, the craftsmen shops refused Kahn without exception (the apprentices have no wages, but they have to take care of the meal).

In desperation, Kahn had to come back to accompany her mother and younger brothers and sisters. However, Kahn's mother Jenny was sick and weak. After spending all her savings on her mother's treatment, the whole family began to go hungry... So Kahn then thought of learning from other hunters and going to hunt in the depths of the forest (the lord here was not strict with the hunting of the people, and many people were hunted quietly, and they were caught and beaten up at most). Unfortunately, the first time hunting, not only did they not catch prey, but they became prey and fell into a trap...

When he arrived at the wooden house, Kahn put down the wild boar, pushed open the worn fence in front of the house, and shouted:

"Mom, I'm back! Here's a distinguished guest!"

Soon, a middle-aged woman with a haggard face, came out with a boy of fifteen or sixteen, a boy of about twelve and a girl of about ten years old.

"Karn, who is this master?" The middle-aged woman looked at Marin and knew that the other party might be a knight.

"Dear madam, my name is Marin, and I am a knight." Marin introduced himself, and gave a greeting.

"You are so polite, Lord Knight, we are just civilians, and we can't stand your tribute!" The middle-aged woman said in panic. In her memory, there were only civilians who saluted or even kowtowed to the nobles. How could the nobles saluted the civilians? Moreover, she was just a woman with no surname and could not bear the honorific title of "Madam".

That is, Marin, a time traveler, does not pay much attention to social hierarchy differences. If you put it on another knight, you will never look at a civilian with a direct look. If you can talk to a civilian, you will feel that it is very much for the other side.

I heard that Marin was a knight master, and the younger boy and the little girl were so scared that they hid behind the woman. On the contrary, the fifteen-and-six-year-old boy looked at Marin with curious eyes, not afraid.

"Korel, what are you looking at? Why don't you salute the Knight?" Kahn glared at his second brother Kohler.

Kohler reacted and saluted Marin, but after delivering the salutation, he still looked at Marin with curious eyes. Of course, this was not the kind of unrestrained look, but a peek like a little boy...

"Karn, go and drag the wild boar in!" Marin ordered casually.

"Sir, are you going to?"

"Start a house at your house, let's have something together."

"No, no, no, how dare we eat your things from Master!" Jenny shook her head.

"It's okay, it's just settled. But, madam, can you help me make some food?" Marin could see that Jenny's illness was cured, but she was still very weak. About half of them were also hungry.

"OK……"

"Kan, can you kill pigs? This wild boar hasn't been dealt with yet?" Marin suddenly remembered that this wild boar hasn't seemed to have been dealt with yet...

"Yes, sir, I worked as a helper in the city's slaughterhouse for a few days at the beginning of the year, so I'll kill pigs! Look, look at me!" Then Kahn took the newly bought sharp knife handed to him by Marin and went to deal with the wild boar.

Although the technique was a bit unfamiliar, Kahn finally barely handled the wild boar. However, the wild boar skin was a little damaged because Marin shot several arrows.

Jenny quickly cut ten kilograms of wild boar meat as Marin asked and went to the kitchen to cook.

An hour later, Marin looked at the food on the table and frowned...

"Madam, you only know how to barbecue and cook meat?"

"Hmm? Yes. Don't everyone do this?" Jenny didn't understand what Marin meant.

Marin also instantly reacted - how can Europeans know how to cook...

However, he couldn't bear to see the delicious wild boar meat, wasted on the grilling and cooking of ancient Germans...

Then, Marin asked:

"Madam, do you have a pot in your house?"

"Ah? Yes, there's a pan!"

"Frying pan..." Although it is not a professional pan for cooking, it is better than nothing.

Then, in the surprised gaze of the Kahn family, Malin took off his armor and walked into the kitchen...

After entering the kitchen, Marin called Kahn and asked him to burn the fire. And he himself began to prepare the cooking...

But what made Marin despair was that Kahn's house did not have the oil needed to cook...

No wonder, these days, Europeans only have two expensive cooking oils, butter and olive oil, and only nobles often use them. Well, use some animal fats...

"Yes, animal fat!" Marin slapped his head, then, with a short knife, cut some pig fat from the wild boar's corpse, threw it into the pot to boil lard...

After boiling out the lard, Marin took out the slices of meat that Jenny had helped cut, threw them into the pot, and started stir-frying...

Apart from lard, Kahn only has salt, a seasoning at home. In desperation, Marin had to choose to add some salt...

Half an hour later, a scent of fragrance wafted out of the kitchen, causing Kahn, Kohler, Kleiman and Xiaomina to drool...

After the stir-fried meat slices were served, everyone except Jenny stared at them with saliva.

"Stop watching, let's have some food together!" Marin took the lead. The others were hesitant at first, but after Kahn started, several children began to rush to eat... After a while, a plate of fried pork slices disappeared...

"Sorry, sir, the children are so greedy!" Jenny saw that this was a big deal. She robbed the Knight's food, aren't you afraid of being killed...

But Marin didn't care. This stir-fried pork slice was actually not very delicious because of insufficient seasoning. Of course, it was compared to later Chinese stir-frying. In this era, it was considered the first time Marin had eaten stir-frying.

"It's okay, this is nothing. At worst, just stir-fry another serving!"

The second time he was cooking, Jenny didn't dare to let Marin do it himself, but planned to do it himself. Under Marin's guidance, Jenny barely fried a plate of fried meat slices that were quite decent. Then, she was divided up by several naughty kids...

"Oh, it's so delicious. It would be great if I could eat meat every day!" Kahn sighed with satisfaction after eating.

"Come on, brother, unless you can become a noble follower, you will have the chance to live such a life." Kohler said viciously. The noble follower, even if he eats leftovers, has the chance to eat delicious food. As for the common people, he can only eat black stick brick bread...

"The noble's follower..." Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Marin - isn't this a ready-made noble?

"Master... Sir, are you short of errand attendants around you?" Jenny asked nervously. She could see that Marin was a knight, but there seemed to be no knight attendants around her. Maybe it was because she was still young.

"The attendant...is not yet. I plan to recruit a few more attendants after joining His Majesty the Emperor." Malin told his plan. It was no secret anyway.

"Emperor...Emperor...Your Majesty..." Several countrymen were stunned by Marin's plan. Usually, the knights were a lofty existence in their eyes. The emperor was said to be much bigger than the knight master...

The Kahn family unanimously agreed that Marin's future prospects are limitless. Can a knight who can do things for the emperor have no future?

Then, Kahn immediately looked at Marin with dissatisfied eyes:

"Sir, can you accept me as a servant? I am very strong!" After saying that, Kahn also showed his muscles and showed his strength.

"I am very strong. Can I move the stone at the door?" There was a big stone at the door of Kahn's house, weighing about 300 kilograms. Marin asked casually when he saw the stone at the door.

"Look!" After Kahn said that, he ran over excitedly, lifted the stone, and raised it over his head...

Marin was shocked. Being able to lift something weighing 300 kilograms is considered to be very strong. You know, Marin himself was able to carry (not lift) 200 kilograms in his previous life, and he was considered a strong man in his later life.

What he didn't know was that this 300-pound stone was actually the "sports equipment" that Kahn usually used to exercise. Kahn's limit was more than 300 pounds, which was extremely perverted...

"Very good, a little bit of strength, just right for me to get my armor and ride a gun!"

"So?"

"As long as you want, follow me, you can pay 3 Finneys a day!"

"What about... what about eating? Sir, our Kahn ate a little more..."

"How much can you eat? How many can you get?" Marin was not surprised. Most of the powerful generals and brothers were always a bucket of rice. For example, Xue Rengui, the amount of food for each meal was calculated by a bucket, not a bowl.

"At least 6 pounds of food a day, if you eat it open, you may get 8 pounds to 10 pounds..." Jenny felt a little embarrassed. However, this was an important question, and she didn't dare to deceive the Knight master. Generally, adults eat two pounds of food a day, and their family's rice bucket Kahn has to eat at least 6 pounds a day...

"Uh... I can eat it. But Kahn, do you dare to follow me to the battlefield? That will be killed in battle at any time!" Marin didn't care about her appetite, but she cared about her courage and courage.

"No problem, sir, can you eat with you and be full? As long as you are full, we can do anything and are not afraid of death!" Kahn said honestly.

"Okay, I like bold men. OK, I'll accept you!"

"Thank you for your appreciation!" Jenny was very surprised. She was not only happy for Kahn to have a good future, but also happy for getting rid of a burden for this poor family...

"Sir... Look, can I?" Kohler was also very moved when he saw his elder brother become a knight entourage.

"Korle, do you have any specialties? Your elder brother has the strength, what are your abilities?" Marin recruited his subordinates, but he was unwilling to conquer those who were unable to do so.

"I... I have a good memory and can settle accounts..."

"Calling accounts... Have you read books?" In the Middle Ages, settlement accounts were not something ordinary people could do. Generally, only aristocratic families, merchant families and wealthy families would teach their children to settle accounts.

"No, I learned secretly from the Jewish merchants in the town and could use Arabic numerals..."

"Study secretly..." Marin was speechless. He could learn to settle accounts by secretly. It seemed that Kohler had a high IQ. However, are he and his brother Kahn, who had low IQ, really brothers? Who picked it up?

Then, Marin took the exam to add, subtract, multiplication and division of several three-digit numbers, and found that Kohler's answer was good. But when he got to the four mixed operations, Kohler couldn't answer.

"Probably, Kohler is at the level of mathematics in the third grade of elementary school..." Marin remembered that the four mixed operations seemed to be from the fourth grade.

The math level of the third grade of elementary school seems to be enough to manage the accounting...

Then, Kohler also honorably became one of Marin's servants. As for the younger Clayman, even Marin would not want to be a talented person for the time being. Because he was not a nursery and would not take care of children.
