Volume 1 Forest Knight Chapter 79 Learning to Dance
"That's right, he is Balion Tucker, our lord of Norland Castle, the hero who leads us to have enough food, clothing, clothing and a house to live in." Bran puffed up his chest with pride.
Ganmoji patted him on the back and said with a smile: "Okay, now let's catch up with our hero."
Soon after the three returned to their residence, Broda and most of the guardsmen who were watching on the collective steps of the competition field also came back. As soon as Broda entered the door, he excitedly said to Balian: "My lord, your name is not only
You will be well known in the province of Janvik, and soon all the people of Brick will know about your heroic deeds and your chivalrous virtues."
After Broda finished speaking, the bard Drew smiled and said to Balian: "Sir Balian, from now on, no matter whether they are your opponents or strangers, they will never see you face to face or know your name.
Bards like us and those traders will tell your story to everyone. Your reputation will become bigger and bigger, and the name of Nolandenburg will be known to more people. It won’t be long before
, people who follow you will flock to you.”
Listening to the flattery of one of his subordinates and an acquaintance, Balian smiled and said nothing. Although both of them were suspected of flattering, Balian knew that their respect for him was sincere.
Seeing that everyone was back, and indeed everyone was very happy today, Gamgee proposed another sumptuous barbecue feast, and everyone kept getting drunk. Gamgee's proposal, without any surprise, was unanimously agreed by everyone.
.
However, when drinking tonight, Balian stopped the guys in his bodyguard who drank like water from drinking more with Gamgee. Balian took the opportunity to ask Gamgee about dancing, but he did not tell Gamgee that he
I want to dance with Jesse to prevent him from worrying about his own safety.
He just explained that there should be many aristocratic ladies and ladies at the banquet. He couldn't dance. If someone else invited him to dance, he would be embarrassed in front of the entire Yang Weixuo elite.
Gamgee grabbed the wine glass and drank a drink with himself. He burped. Gamgee, who was quite drunk and smelled of alcohol, put his arm around Balian's shoulders and said, "My good brother.
, isn’t it just learning to dance? It’s a simple matter.
Let me tell you, I am a master of dancing. It was through dancing at the banquet that I got my wife and the woman in Yang Weixuo City. Let me tell you..."
As soon as he heard that he was going to show off his romantic history, Balian quickly asked him to stop, "If you can, teach me. It only takes two days. I have to practice hard so that I can cope with dancing with others."
"Okay, no problem, I'll teach you. Dancing is very simple. Just hold your hands, hold your waist, hold your shoulders, turn, and jump." As he spoke, Ganmoji stood up and held his hand.
Goblet, in the open space in the courtyard, showed Balian how to dance.
After demonstrating for a while, Gamgee saw the wine in the glass spilled out, so he simply drank all the wine in the glass. His face turned red and he said swayingly: "I have a very powerful dancing skill. This can make people laugh."
Your dance partner is attracted to you instantly, that is, you grab her waist, then lift one of her hands with your hand, and turn her around like this.
When she turns around a few times and becomes a little dizzy, you exert a little force and she falls into your arms. At this time, she is a little dizzy and lies in your arms. You whisper a few words to her.
Just one sentence and it’s done.”
As he said that, Ganmuji started spinning around in the open space. Everyone sat around and laughed loudly at his funny look.
"You brats, I'm teaching you how to seduce girls. I haven't taught it to ordinary people. You guys are really ignorant.
I'll demonstrate it again, you can see clearly, just turn like this, raise your hand, and then turn like this, turn like this, turn, oops!" Only a scream was heard, Gam, who calls himself a master of love and a master of ballroom dancing.
Ji missed the mark and fell to the ground.
Balian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he still rushed forward to see if Gamgee had hit any vital parts. Fortunately, it was only a small knock, and the guy's skin was rough and thick, so the scratches, redness and swelling were nothing.
Seeing that Gamgee had drunk too much and was injured again, Balian asked Broda to take two people and send Gamgee back so that he could have a good rest.
However, Balian finally understood that Gamgee could dance, but his dancing was very average. Although he danced well in words, he was not good at actually dancing. Now Balian could only hope that Gamgee
After sobering up, I can find a suitable dance teacher for myself.
But sometimes, the method you hope will solve the problem may not work, but someone unexpectedly helps you solve the problem.
After Gamgee was sent away, the bard Drew came to Balian with a wine glass and asked: "Sir Balian, do you want to learn ballroom dancing?"
Balian nodded and replied: "You also know that in two days, I will go to Earl Gerry's mansion to attend a dinner party. There will definitely be a dance session, and as a person who can't dance, I can still act as a dancer.
It would be very embarrassing to be the center of attention."
"If you trust me, I can teach you to dance." Drew told Balian.
"Oh? You can dance?" Balian asked in surprise.
Drew smiled sheepishly and replied: "Sir Balian, I am a bard. I often perform at noble banquets. It is normal to learn dancing from them.
My teacher can also sing stories and dance at the same time, which can arouse the atmosphere of the scene. Although I am not as good at dancing as him, I think it is pretty good."
Balian looked at him with admiration and said: "I believe you. From now on, you will be my dance teacher. If you can teach me in the past two days, and if I don't make a fool of myself dancing at the banquet, I will give you ten
Bounty of dinars.”
"Hahaha, okay, Sir Balian, just prepare those ten lovely silver coins!" Drew replied with a smile.
With that said, Drew and Balian came to the fire in the yard. Drew first pulled Bran over and stepped on the men's steps himself, letting Bran play the lady. Then he pulled him to jump first and did it for Balian.
demonstration.
After explaining some details and regulations of court ballroom dancing clearly, he began to pretend to be a girl, take female steps, and learn to dance with Balian.
It has to be said that Drew is not only a good dancer, but also a good teacher. Although Balian's dancing talent is extremely poor, under Drew's patient teaching and detailed explanation, when the two danced until midnight, Balian had already danced.
I have almost learned it. Although I am still very rusty, if I practice hard in the next two days, I should be able to handle the banquet at Earl Gerry's mansion.
After learning to dance for the rest of the night, not only Balian and Drew were exhausted, but the guardsmen and Bran who were watching them were also tired. They should go to bed today.
After getting up the next morning, Drew and Balian practiced all morning. The efficiency this morning was quite high. Balian could basically jump down completely without Drew carrying him. I believe that as long as he practices more, he will be able to jump down.
Then you can easily dance with Jesse.
It was quite hard to practice all morning, so Balian was not going to practice in the afternoon and wanted to take a rest first.
During dance practice in the morning, the two chatted. Drew mentioned that there was a tavern in the city that had very good food. Their two most famous dishes were Yang Weixuo fish soup and red wine braised pheasant. Drew told Bellion that this
The two dishes are simply delicious. Once you try them, you will never forget them.
Balian was a foodie in his previous life, so of course he would not miss the delicacies highly recommended by his friends. It was already noon, so Balian asked Drew to take him and Bran to the tavern to try something that Drew and others would never forget.
How delicious is the fish soup and chicken stew?
The tavern that Drew mentioned is not close to where Balian and the others live, but fortunately, although Yangweixuo City is the largest city in the north of Brick, compared with many cities where Balian has stayed in the future, it is
The difference is too big. For him, this distance only takes the same time as taking the subway to go to the city center shopping mall for dinner in his previous life.
When the three of them arrived at the door of the tavern, there were not many people in the restaurant because it had just passed noon. The maids and male bartenders inside were chatting and laughing, too lazy to clean up after the noon rush hour. The guests left behind
The dining table is full of messes.
A sharp-eyed bartender, after seeing the three members of Balian's family with silver thread embroidered family crests on their clothes, quickly stood at the door to greet them enthusiastically, "Dear Sir, do you want to stay or eat?
If you want to stay, we have clean and comfortable bedrooms, and we can also help you take care of your horses; if you want to eat, you have come to the right place, our Yang Weixuo fish soup and red wine braised pheasant are the best.
Many adults from other provinces will come here to have a taste."
Listening to the bartender's enthusiastic introduction, Balian smiled and took out more than ten copper coins from his pocket and threw them to him, "We have dinner, and you have our horses taken away and fed with some water and fodder."
After the bartender took the tip, the smile on his face became even brighter. He enthusiastically called the other two bartenders over and asked them to take the three horses to the backyard to feed them, while he personally served the three Balians with their orders.
In addition to the two classic signature dishes, Balian also ordered three grilled fish, a fried prawn, and honey bread. After all, dancing all morning, Balian had exhausted a lot of energy, and now he felt very hungry.
.
In addition, with the hard recommendation of the bartender, I ordered three large glasses of fresh dark beer. This rich-colored beer is made from burnt malt and black malt. It has a mellow taste, outstanding malt aroma and burnt aroma, and it is very refreshing to drink.
, very enjoyable.
After driving for more than half an hour, the thirsty Balian drank more than half a glass in one go and asked the bartender to add three more glasses. He was not afraid that he would drink too much and develop a beer belly, although a beer belly really had nothing to do with drinking beer.
.
After the dishes arrived, Balian tasted them, and it was true that it lived up to its reputation and tasted really good. After tasting it, Bran was also full of praise. The three of them were like a storm. After finishing the two signature dishes, they were still the same.
Seeming as though he was still unfinished, he decisively asked them to quickly make two more portions and serve them.
While the three of them were eating and drinking, no one noticed that a young man in shabby clothes came into the tavern. Even the bartenders didn't pay attention. Anyway, at this time, there were not many customers, and there were some poor people in the city.
It is also common for other people's children to come in and steal some leftover food from guests.
They have become accustomed to such people and things. From the boss to the bartenders and maids, they basically turn a blind eye to these teenagers, as long as they do not disturb the guests' dining and rest, and do not steal things from the store.
.
This can also be regarded as the kindness of those who rely on this tavern to live a decent life towards those who are really poor and have no enough food to eat or no warmth to wear.
However, only such a store with a good business would allow such a thing to exist. After all, they no longer have to worry about their livelihood. If it were a tavern with poor management, they would probably kick out such a disgusting begging boy immediately.
