When the prince's soldiers moved the huge aurochs carcass back to the huge hunting camp, the whole camp immediately started to boil.
Many hunters who have been hunting in the wilderness for many years have seen such a huge aurochs for the first time, so it is natural for ordinary people not to mention it.
Aurochs are not uncommon in the wilderness, but this is the first time for many people to see such a huge aurochs. In their world view, aurochs cannot be this big, but this is what really happened.
As the crowd gathered, Rostislav's reputation also spread. Soon everyone knew about the feat of the Moscow prince hunting the aurochs alone. What followed was more cheers and praise for the prince.
The cry of a bull hunter's new nickname.
Although the nickname Prince himself felt a little strange, the effect he wanted was fully achieved. Hunting such a huge monster would bring his reputation to a higher level.
Many people lamented the bravery of the prince. Hunting an aurochs requires courage, not to mention one that is so huge.
Many people who met Rostislav for the first time also believed in the prince's martial name. Originally, they had always thought that it was just a fantasy story.
Those who had looked down upon Rostislav because of his youth were now wary, and those who had originally intended to ignore the prince's authority now changed their minds.
The prince of Moscow proved in front of them that he was not a waste relying on his ancestors, but a true brave man. These were the most powerful words in the wilderness.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Rostislav announced that the hunt was over, and everyone readily accepted this. The hunt had been going on for more than half a month, and it was time to stop.
On the night of the announcement, Rostislav held a huge banquet to put an end to this massive hunt.
A lot was gained from this hunt, which demonstrated the authority of the prince, trained militiamen from various places, strengthened the cooperation of various ministries, and accumulated a large amount of supplies. The prince of Moscow was very satisfied, and everyone who participated was also very satisfied.
————————
When night falls, the busy hunting camp has turned into a grand banquet venue.
Preparing such a banquet for more than 3,000 people can be said to be both simple and troublesome. The simplicity is that a large number of wild animals are hunted, so there is definitely not enough meat. The trouble is that the drinks at the banquet can only be transported from surrounding towns, and
It has to be transported in a very huge amount.
Rostislav had already made preparations for that trouble. He had already mobilized a large number of kvass from various towns. There would be enough for this banquet.
Under countless bonfires, people roasted barbecue, drank kvass, and sang loudly around them.
There are no spices in the barbecue, only the most basic salt, and the kvass is also the lowest type.
But it is precisely this way of drinking and singing that makes it so enjoyable. Everything is so rough, but this is what everyone loves most.
Villagers from nearby villages also joined the banquet. No one would miss such a grand banquet, and the arrival of the woman brought the atmosphere to its peak. People held hands around the bonfire and danced cheerfully, creating a joyful atmosphere.
It also reached its climax.
The musicians played happy songs. No matter what kind of conflicts and discrimination there were in daily life, now everyone put their arms around each other's shoulders and enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
The behavior of the princes and nobles at this moment was not very elegant. It was just that their barbecue was more exquisite and they were drinking precious wine.
As for the rest, there is no difference in the behavior of ordinary people at a banquet. They eat and drink the same, drink and sing the same.
Looking at this cheerful scene, the joy on Rostislav's face became more and more obvious. This was his favorite scene, watching people immersed in the feast he brought.
What's more important is that the dignitaries of the entire Northeast Rus are now gathering in front of him, whether they are city dignitaries or local city lords. These people are now gathered here, which undoubtedly shows the great prestige of the Prince of Moscow.
Rostislav is holding wine from Bulgar, yes, the wine from that country that has surrendered to Allah.
Rostislav was very surprised when he discovered this, and when he asked about it, he was even more surprised. He discovered that Bulgar produces a lot of wine and there are many wine estates there.
The prince cares so much about this wine, but everyone present does not care about it. For them, whatever they drink now is the same.
Because everyone is actually waiting, waiting for a piece of food that belongs to them.
To be precise, the food itself is not important, but the power behind it is very important.
Finally, as the trumpet was blown, everyone's attention was attracted.
Then they saw a huge roasted whole cow being carried up. The roasted whole cow was sprinkled with various precious spices. Those spices alone were a huge sum of money, but not for the prince of Moscow.
No matter what, the Bulgars’ compensation included a lot of these things.
The soldier skillfully used a big knife to cut off the most precious and tender parts from the roasted cow, and placed them in front of Rostislav, who was in charge. Everyone's eyes were attracted by this.
Distributing food at a banquet is an important power, especially at such a banquet where nobles gather. To a certain extent, food distribution represents the distribution of power and represents the distance between the princes and the princes.
Rostislav also skillfully divided these barbecues, and then according to his order, these barbecues were delivered to each of the Russian dignitaries. Those who received the food naturally smiled, which showed that the princes recognized and trusted them, and
Those who failed to obtain it had a gloomy face, which meant that they had not yet been able to enter the core of the Moscow court.
The prince of Moscow felt the pleasure at this moment. It was the pleasure of holding power in his hands. He could divide a portion of food and make everyone worry about gain and loss. That feeling was really fascinating.
At the same time, he also lamented that when he first came to Northeastern Ross, these guys looked down upon him.
But now, they had the opportunity to kneel in front of Rostislav, almost flatteringly asking for the prince's trust.
A huge sense of accomplishment poured into the prince's heart at this moment. All this was really not easy. Let him enjoy this night and enjoy the power he had fought for.
