"Platum, I think you seem to be a resident of Golden River?"

"Yes, Mr. Norn. I grew up here. ”

Joestar waved his sword as he answered Fang Qiuling's question.

"In other words, you're familiar with this place, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Norn."

"I want to go out for a meal, is there any place to recommend?"

It is easy to have a local who is familiar with the situation, and the place where the locals eat by themselves is the most authentic and the taste is the best. They are all long-term regular customers, and many of them are neighbors who don't look up and don't look down, and they may even be related to each other, and there is no need to judge whether the taste is good or not.

Joestar's sword swinging movement obviously paused, and there was a little more helplessness in his solemn gaze. Fang Qiuling, a nobleman, whether it is a style or a habit, has almost subverted his inherent concept of aristocrats.

The number of nobles in the Misty Lakes region is certainly not as large as in the capital city of Serra Dia, but it is not uncommon to see them from time to time on the road. The greatest nobleman here is undoubtedly Count Deharus, Lord of the Lake of Mist. There were also more than a dozen viscounts and barons, basically two or three on average in a town. As for the knights at the bottom of the aristocratic class, there were even more of them.

The large and small nobles, led by Count Diharus, plus some civilian clerks and scribes from civilian backgrounds, constituted the ruling class of the entire Mist Lake region.

Count Diharus was a veteran military aristocrat who liked to promote soldiers, but the construction, development, and schedule management of his realm were inseparable from civilian personnel. Therefore, the nobles of the misty lake are clearly divided into two factions, the military aristocracy led by the lord Count Diharus, and the traditional nobility who are mainly engaged in civilian work.

Successive Earls of DeHarus were hard-blooded hardliners, and they chose the town of Fog, which is closest to the Fallen Leaves Pass, as the location of the Lord's Palace. In the event of an accident at Fallen Leaf Pass, Count DeHarus will personally lead the lord's guard north to support. According to Fang Qiuling's understanding, there is a bit of "the Son of Heaven guarding the country". Many viscounts and barons who held the same philosophy also placed their mansions in Wuxi Town. Together, they form the core of the Seventh Knights of the Kingdom, which is the most combative in the Misty Lake region.

The military side of the matter was taken care of by Count DeHarus, and it was no problem at all. However, in terms of clerical work, it is not very good, and the people of the Diharus family cannot be said to be all big and coarse, but it is recognized that they have no talent in numbers. In addition to selecting suitable talents from among the commoners to fill the civil posts in the realm, Count DeHarus had to "hire" some nobles from Serradia to serve in the realm.

The territory of Karthhas is long and narrow, like an upside-down spoon. Located in the westernmost part, the misty lake is an out-and-out poor country in the eyes of the nobles of the capital Serradia, vulgar, barbaric, and poor, which is their reflection of the misty lake all along. As for Count DeHarus, an "old horseman" in a frontier land, it is not worth mentioning.

Most of the traditional aristocrats from Celradia are unmotivated, and there are many families who are in the middle of the road and cannot make ends meet. And whether you have the ability or not, self-righteousness is already a good attitude, and arrogance is the norm. Their arrival immediately proclaimed that Count Deharus was nothing more than a rude warrior who had risen to the top, an "old horseman" who guarded the king's door. As for the knights under his command, they are the "henchmen of the old groom"!

The military aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy were not accustomed to dealing with each other, and the antagonism between them affected all aspects. The Foggy Cavalry was no exception.

In Joestar's eyes, the military aristocracy, represented by Count DeHarus, was stern and mighty, not only rewarded and punished clearly, but also very friendly, and was a model for our generation. However, their goodwill is only for soldiers who serve in the army, and not so kind to ordinary civilians.

As for the traditional aristocracy, it's a very annoying bunch of guys. They always have all sorts of demands and show all sorts of dissatisfaction with everything. Joestar saw that they generally walked around, and they would be caught by them if they took a full step.

And the Lord Viscount Norn in front of him...... To be honest, I don't understand.

Viscount Norn had an extremely white face, although his short black hair and black pupils made people a little uneasy, but it was full of mystery, and it was undoubtedly full of charm, even compared to Count Harus. If they appeared at the banquet, the unmarried noble ladies would undoubtedly scream when they saw it.

Viscount Norn was very talented, and he knew everything about music, poetry, and ancient books. At night camp, he would simply play a song. The music is beautiful, as if it has the magic to soothe all your troubles.

Moreover, Viscount Norn also has a very good performance in management, and the seven consecutive days of clearing the orcs is the easiest continuous march and continuous battle since Joestar joined the army. In the past, even clearing two orc hideouts would be half exhausted and half dead, and starvation or something was even more common. But under the deployment of Lord Viscount, there was hot water and hot food every meal, and the weapons and equipment were also replaced with the best. Except for marching and fighting, it doesn't matter at all about supplies or anything.

At the same time, Viscount Norn also has good strength. Facing the orcs alone, their faces did not change, and the two apprentice knights could easily deal with the contact attack. While it's ungraceful to like using crossbows, do you need style to deal with goblins and orcs? Not at all!

Wise and intelligent, affable and humble. Although the viscount is not without shortcomings, this one is not a shortcoming...... Daddy Tom is right, Lord Viscount is too particular in many places! The life of the traditional aristocracy was already considered extravagant, but according to the original words of the viscount, "This is called extravagance? This is called slapping a swollen face and becoming fat! A group of old hats who have never seen the world. ”。 can say such things, what kind of scale should the "world" recognized by Lord Viscount be!

Viscount Norn is undoubtedly a great nobleman, and one of the top wealthy nobles. Father Tom says that the Viscount is most likely royal. Joestar couldn't agree more. Compared with the military aristocracy and the traditional aristocracy, Viscount Norn's life is undoubtedly more charming.

But now this big nobleman is actually asking "which small shop tastes good when you go out to eat". Shouldn't the Viscount, who is so particular, find the best high-end restaurants and enjoy the food cooked by top chefs?

"This ...... What does Lord Norn want to eat? ”

"Eating fish, of course, I saw a lot of fishing boats coming back. Loaded on. ”

"Eat fish?" Joestar's face was a little more strange, "Lord Norn, you are a noble......"

Fang Qiuling was a little strange: "What's wrong?" Can't nobles eat fish? ”

"Not really...... But Lord Norn, if you want to go out to eat, go to West Street. I know there's a shop where the lamb chops are very well grilled, grilled with the finest spices, and their kinnali is very flavorful. ”

"I went to the store you said yesterday, and it tasted okay. The lamb chops are very good, very fresh, but the level of the chef is really average. ”

Fang Qiuling and the Foggy Knights currently live in the backyard of the Temple of Notos, and they are free of charge for food and lodging. The beds were ok or something, and it was quiet at night and the quality of sleep was high. But the meals weren't so good. Breakfast is potatoes and bread, lunch is bread and potatoes, and dinner is a pot of vegetable soup. After all, it is a temple, and there are many ascetics, so you can fill your stomach with a meal or something.

After eating it for three days in a row, Fang Qiuling felt that he was about to turn into a potato, and his craving for meat rose infinitely. Then he slipped out to find food.

The shop Joestar said was actually a tavern, and the name didn't pay attention to it. At that time, I was attracted by the aroma of roast lamb. The lamb chops are very fresh and tender, and the spices are good, but the chef's grilling technique is not complimentary. The baking technique is extremely crude, and the simple summary is to constantly sprinkle spices, one, two, three...... Until the whole lamb chops are completely covered in spices during the grilling process.

When eating, Fang Qiuling couldn't tell whether he was eating spices or lamb chops, and he had a feeling of reversal of priorities and putting the cart before the horse. Shino ate very happily, and at this point, Qiu Ling felt that he was barely worth the thirty silver coins he had paid. However, their Jinli wine is really good, sweet in the mouth, and it feels like drinking a fruit juice drink.

"There's also a steakhouse on West Street......"

"The steaks here feel average, and the hygiene conditions are not very good."

- Hygienic conditions?

Do you need to pay attention to hygiene when eating? Joestar thought about it for a moment and thought it was completely unnecessary...... He could sort of understand Daddy Tom's complaints.

"Sibeka Tavern, their stew was very good......"

"Kaka Inn, the cheese was excellent, I liked to accompany the beef with the cheese ......"

"Or how about a lively tavern? The girl there ......."

Joestar recommended five or six points in a row, but Fang Qiuling vetoed them one by one.

"None of them are fish-cookers? Today I want to eat fish. ”

Joestar stopped talking. His appearance of wanting to speak made Fang Qiuling a little strange.

"What's wrong? If you have something to say, don't ramble. ”

"Lord Norn, did you just see a lot of fishing boats coming back? The fish I brought back was a blue-gray one, about this big. Joestar made a general gesture, as a resident of the town of Golden River, he knew very well that there was usually only one type of fish on the fishing boats that were fully loaded at this time, "That's the Maglida sturgeon, you are a noble......

"What's wrong with the nobles, can't they eat sturgeon?"

As soon as the words came out, Fang Qiuling immediately realized that he might have made a common-sense mistake.

The sturgeon is a good thing in his eyes, a good thing in every way. However, in the eyes of the locals, this large fish may be a "cheap food" used by fishermen to feed their stomachs, and the nobles may lose their status if they eat this kind of food.

Fang Qiuling stretched out his hand and wiped his face, his face was a little more helpless.

- It's really troublesome. Eating something is also divided between commoners and nobles.

Joestar stopped talking, and the long sword in his hand was swung by him. Fang Qiuling's conjecture was undoubtedly correct, and the natural smell of the sea in Maglida sturgeon was considered "unelegant", and few nobles were willing to taste Maglida sturgeon. However, Joestar still underestimated the heart of a foodie from the foodie empire.

Fang Qiuling hooked his neck and grabbed him to the corner of the wall, then lowered his voice and asked, "Platum, tell me honestly, is it because this thing belongs to 'civilian food'?" ”

Joestar still didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Do you eat this fish at home?"

Joestar continued to nod.

Magridad sturgeon is cheap and abundant. First choice for ordinary families.

"That's easy to do......"

Fang Qiuling smiled, but this smile gave Joestar a very bad premonition.

"You're not going to ......"

"Yes, no?"

"Mr. Norn, the sturgeon is really not delicious, the taste is very strong and fishy!"

"You don't have to worry about this, I have a solution."

Half an hour later, Joestar looked helplessly at Viscount Norne in his own home. His sister and mother were busy on the fire pit at the request of the viscount.

The 10-pound sturgeon is washed and cut into pieces in the belly of the fish and placed on a large iron plate. The iron plate was borrowed from the inn next door, and had been painted with a layer of oil beforehand. The fish is then marinated by adding a variety of spices, submerging the meat.

The seasoning is a grilled fish sauce seasoning package brought by Fang Qiuling from the present world, a popular grilled fish restaurant. The Joestar family was amazed by the rich aroma of the paper package and the thick layer of grease on the sauce packet, which they had never seen before.

In addition to a full pot of fish, vegetables are also essential. Potatoes are undoubtedly the protagonists, followed by largemouth mushrooms, cauliflower, green beans and a handful of green chives. The whole iron plate was then placed directly on the fire pit for roasting - unfortunately there were no rice cakes, no pig blood, and no soy products.

The fish has already begun to be grilled, and the cleaning process has just begun. The bones and other things that are chopped off from the fish are poured into another clay pot, which the fishermen generally do not eat, and usually throw them away or feed them to the dogs.

While he was cleaning up, Fang Qiuling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly called to stop.

"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! ”

"Mr. Norn, what's wrong?"

Fang Qiuling couldn't wait to put his hand directly into the clay pot and grabbed out a large handful of black particles - sturgeon eggs.

"Don't throw, don't throw! Don't throw this thing away! ”

"Lord Norn, this is the sturgeon's roe."

"Yes, I know! Don't you all eat this? ”

"This thing tastes weird, of course I don't eat it."

"What a brutal thing! This can be the best thing to eat! Fang Qiuling grabbed a clean clay pot beside him, put the fish eggs in it, and then grabbed a large handful of fish eggs to deal with, "Shadi, can you help pick out all these fish eggs?" ”

"Yes, Lord Norn." Joestar's sister whispered in agreement.

"What are you doing here, Lord Norn?"

Although Elune does not have the guiding aristocratic life standard of "a gentleman is far away from cooking", there are still similar words, and the status of the cook has always been very low. Viscount Norn has an incomparable dedication to eating, and even carries such a thing as a "grilled fish sauce seasoning packet" with him. This has made Joestar no longer know what to say. And now the Viscount actually fell in love with the fish that he usually threw directly into the river again, which shattered his three views.

"Rinse with water and stir with salt. A few other fish also helped with this treatment, thank you. Fang Qiuling instructed Sadie first, and then turned around and told Joestar, "Caviar, that's how caviar came from." Use fresh fish eggs, wash them, add a little salt, stir them, and then sieve them on a strainer until they are dry, and then they can be canned. In Serradia, it's a delicacy that only the royal family can enjoy. ”
