Euphemia Walton, a minor who has never eaten less of a staple food since birth, is much weaker than the adult Isabel in terms of psychological and physical capacity. Just as Isabel finished cleaning the hooves of her second horse, Isaiah, she finally showed her impatient, desperate desire to replenish her body with the energy in her food.

The thought of her brother gobbling up at the dinner table made her saliva unnaturally increase in her mouth. Isabel, who was at work, sensitively caught her saliva swallowing, absent-minded expression.

Next, Isabel needs to clean and tidy up the horse's body. Only by keeping the horse's body clean and its coat shiny and smooth can we avoid various skin diseases in horses. Not only that, but massaging the horse's body while cleaning the horse's body also helps to promote blood circulation in the horse's muscles and develop a mutual relationship with the horse.

Euphemia stood by and watched Isabelle's work. As the other party began to brush off the dirt and dust from Elijah's horse with a brush in hand, she asked the other party, "Sister, how much work do you have to do?" ”

Isabel didn't look back, and continued to brush, "Well, now it's the second step, the work of combing the horse's body. ”

"Oh, you mean to say that after grooming the horse, you can rest."

Of course not, there are two more steps, bathing Elijah and Isaiah, trimming their messy manes and ponytails. By the way, I also had to clean the stables and feed them with fodder and water. ”

"Sister, how come I never knew it would take so much work to take care of them?"

"In general, people are used to enjoying the pleasure of riding them freely in the wilderness. However, they also need to clean and maintain their bodies from time to time, just like us humans. Of course, Elijah and Isaiah could not have done these things on their own. So these jobs need to be done by those who like them and ride them. ”

Euphemia nodded and said, "It seems that this is indeed the case. Well, sister, you go ahead and do your job. ”

Isabel could sense a sense of impatience in the words and emotions of the other person. At this time, he glanced back at her and said, "Effie, you are still a child. If I were you, I would have gone to dinner a long time ago. Did you know that when you go through the process of necessary food energy replenishment, it is also a responsible attitude towards yourself? ”

Euphemia only understood the first half of her sentence, she ignored the second half, thought for a moment, and said, "But, sister, I said that I would stay with you and have dinner together when you finished your work." ”

"Effie, thank you for taking the time to spend time with me. Go back quickly, even though reality is far from what you expected. ”

"Oh, okay. Sister, then I'm going to dinner. Don't worry, I'll leave you some good food. ”

"Thank you. By the way, is your name Effie? ”

"Sister, my name is Euphemia, but the members of the family call me Effie."

Isabel nodded and said, "Euphemia! Well, it's a very nice name, does it mean anything? ”

Euphemia replied, "My name is of Greek origin, meaning good name, worship of the gods. ”

"Well, that's pretty good."

"Thank you, sister, then I'll go back first."

Euphemia returned to the house with the oil lamp in hand, and after handing it to the servant, she made her way to the dining room. Augustine sat at one end of the long table, drinking ale in the light of the candles. His wife, Antonia, who was sitting across from him, was in no mood to taste the glass of red wine in front of her because she was worried about her daughter.

When Jazz caught a glimpse of his little daughter walking in from outside the dining room door in front of him, he leaned back in his chair, smiled with his wine glass, and said, "Ma'am, it seems that you can go back to your room and rest." ”

Euphemia walked over to Jazz and hurriedly hugged her father and kissed her face. After the salute, he walked to his mother's side, bowed to the mother who was seated, and then went to the middle of the table and sat down in his place.

She expected that her family had finished dinner by this time, and it was not surprising when she came in. Looking at the almost empty dining table, there were only two candlesticks lit for lighting and a few empty wine glasses. He looked at Jazz with some discouragement and said, "Daddy, I'm so hungry, do you have anything else to eat?" ”

Antonia picked up the wine glass and took a sip, stared at her little daughter and said, "Effie, can you explain your behavior before eating?" ”

Euphemia nodded and said, "Yes, Mom." It's just that you can let me eat something first. ”

Antonia nodded slightly, and said to the restaurant door on the right, "Chrissy." ”

Christiana, the valet of the valet, dodged in through the door, saluted and replied, "Yes, ma'am." ”

"Now you go and inform the kitchen and bring in the dinner reserved for the young lady."

"Yes, ma'am."

A few minutes later, several servants arrived in the dining room with large tin-lead plates containing some of today's dinner's dishes. One by one, the servants placed the plates in their hands in front of Euphemia, and then removed the metal dome cover from it.

The dishes on the plate consisted of half a roasted deer leg, a large piece of roasted wild boar, a whole roasted wild duck, a large round white loaf of bread that had already been baked, and finally half a can of red wine.

Euphemia smelled the thick aromas emanating from the various barbecued meat dishes, and felt her stomach gurgling intensely. Although she never knew why it was there, she knew that as soon as it appeared, it meant that she was really hungry.

While staring at the roasted wild boar, he grabbed the tin-lead alloy bottle containing the wine and poured himself a large glass of red wine. After pouring the wine, he put down the bottle and went to get the lump of white bread. Soon, he used a bread knife to cut a few loaves of bread for himself and put them on the plate in front of him.

After a gust of wind and clouds, Yuphimia felt a comfortable feeling in her stomach. After finishing the meal, when I wiped my little mouth with a napkin, I glanced at my parents who had been smiling and silent. Then, he smiled at Jazz and said, "Daddy, please forgive me for being rude, maybe because I was too hungry." ”

Sir took the wine glass and said with a smile, "Effie, there is one of the rules of knighthood: eating too much is regarded as a symbol of strength, and a knight who can eat and drink is never a coward!" ”

Mother smiled at the side of the table and said, "Effie, you are a member of the Walton family. So, it's not an embarrassment to eat an amazing amount of food. ”
