Chapter 119 Leading the Horse
In this way, under Aaron's insistence, Alice had to become Aaron's sparring training.
The two of them practiced together in the manor for several days until the rice and food at home were exhausted, and Aaron wanted to go to the city to buy food.
It is worth mentioning that after Aaron showed his not particularly exquisite cooking skills, in Alice's calm and gentle eyes, he "voluntarily" became the one who made fire and cooked.
After all, you can't expect a noble daughter to cook, right?
Moreover, in this era when the technology tree has completely deformed, although the Holy Grail supernatural beings can create floating cities floating in the air and create combat statues as majestic as mountains, they have never used their extraordinary power to pay attention to people's livelihood and help the people improve their lives.
In other words, almost the vast majority of extraordinary people do not have the concept of the people.
When the nobles monopolized almost all extraordinary paths through the enlightenment ritual of the gold-coin-type extraordinary, ordinary people who want to become extraordinary can only survive from extraordinary events and even cults and natural disasters, and only then can they become extraordinary, but the chance of survival can naturally be imagined.
This means that most extraordinary people do not have the existence of ordinary people in the eyes of them.
This means that even though both of them are already noble bronze-level extraordinary people, a daughter of the Iris family who was once high above, they have to honestly fill the stove with firewood.
The culture and customs of this world are completely different from Aaron's original world, but people's understanding of kitchen utensils is generally the same, and they also have tools similar to spatulas.
Except for the world that squeezes out the space for condiments due to spiritual spices, which makes Aaron unable to buy condiments like pepper and cumin for a while, everything else can still be adapted to Aaron.
In fact, if he hadn't thought the postage to the Tower of Stars was expensive and he was afraid that the journey would be long and missed Sartre's reply, Aaron even wanted Sartre to give him a list of condiments or edible spiritual spices.
Seasonings are the soul of food!
Although Alice can indeed ask the family chamber of commerce to provide them with fresh ingredients every day, after Sokron came, both of them already understood their embarrassing status in the Iris family, so they simply rejected the repeated hints of several elderly people in the chamber of commerce.
From her dear brother, Alice had already felt some kind of malice, and she really didn't want to involve more innocent people because of herself.
Of course, they came to Leden City this time not just to buy ingredients, they also had more important things to do - Ron invited them to choose horses to Badibila in the future.
"Maybe we should thank you?" Aaron stood in the stable organized by the Sword of the Sky, smelling the unique smell of horse manure, holding the wooden fence beside him, turning his head to Ron and smiling, "But I'm afraid this horse will have to be stored in your place first."
Ron's black cat seemed to be unable to stand the smell of the stables, and had already squatted at the door and waited quietly for Ron to come out.
Among the two rows of about twenty tall horses, Ron took Aaron and Alice to check each horse one by one.
It has to be said that the hanging sword backed by the royal family is indeed rich, and he can't help but build an exclusive venue in Leiden City, and even raise so many war horses with the help of Leiden City's taxes.
Yes, these horses are all war horses. They may have some bloodlines of monsters, or they may be pure blood species themselves. Each of the hairs are bright and beautiful, and at first glance they seem to shine with an inexplicable luster.
"After all, it's just a borrower. If you can't raise it well, you really need to stay here first." Ron responded casually, gently patting the war horse that stretched its head over to ask for the forage.
Alice heard the horse sniffing, and her eyes became a little envious.
As a noble family, Alice certainly hoped that horses could be raised in the manor, but she also knew that this was probably unlikely.
Just look at the size of Albert Manor, you can tell that not to mention Aaron, I am afraid that even the builders of the manor did not have the intention to raise horses at that time.
The reason is nothing more, it’s just that the cost of raising horses is really high, and it’s not something that ordinary people can afford.
Not to mention anything else, raising a horse means having an additional groom who is responsible for caring for war horses. This alone is enough to discourage many of the money-strapped nobles.
What's more, horse feed is much more complicated than people's three meals a day. The so-called forage is actually not just as simple as hay, but also contains a variety of grains. Sometimes eggs and even meat foam are added. Only in this way can the horses be prevented from losing weight.
Especially for war horses used for combat and raid, their feed may be more refined.
Can you expect a down-and-out nobleman and a noble daughter to know how to raise a horse?
Although these war horses are fat and strong in this stable, if Aaron really dares to pull them back to the manor, it will probably take a few days for these war horses to be rubbed down with a layer of oil.
They also count on these war horses to help them go to Badibila.
"How many war horses do you need? I need to apply to the organization, but generally speaking, I prefer two horses per person, and I will try to apply to the organization for three horses per person." Ron took Aaron to check the horses while explaining some basic situations to him.
They were going to the Borderless Land of Badibila, and they must not bring any supplies along the way. Just a horse requires both camels and supplies. Even if it is carefully raised, it is probably a bit unbearable.
What's more, there is no such statement or concept of infrastructure construction in this world, and the city lords and nobles will never have such foresight - realizing that transportation is the lifeblood of the commodity economy.
Even in Laiden City, the pearl of the west, there are many business trips and travelers, but the road conditions are quite bad. Most of them are made of yellow mud roads mixed with stones. Only when you get near the city can municipal officials use stone slabs and gravel to pave the roads in luxury.
This also leads to the bumpy road surface of Laideng City, and the dust is flying everywhere. Once it rains, every step you take will be surprised to find that the wet and cold yellow mud gathers more and more like maggots on the tars, and it cannot be shaken away at all.
This is the despicable title of the so-called "mud legs" of the nobles for the common people.
If they leave the mount, would they really have to carry tents weighing dozens of kilograms, supplies and other loads to Badibila?
