Chapter 1682 Pillar Rock Town
Jennifer said: "Last time, the eldest son of a noble family from Disman came to Barren Rock City and talked about it with my father during a chat. He said that everything Women who marry into their family have to Specialized people will be sent to teach them how to make sounds in bed. She also said that whether the sound sounds good or not is directly related to the quality of the couple's life. This is also the etiquette tradition passed down by their family for more than two thousand years. , tell me something you don’t like to hear, you guys The Moyue Royal Family is a large royal family with a long history. There must be such teaching and practice. As a princess, and you are married, didn't anyone teach you this before you got married? "
"This... ..." Alice thought about it for a moment, and she Before getting married, there were indeed many women in charge of etiquette in the palace who taught her some wedding etiquette. However, she was so disheartened at the time that she had no thoughts. She had no intention to listen or learn at all, and she did not even learn many of them. Therefore, I don’t know if I’ve ever been taught this. But she also thought that her mother always liked to study some strange things. At that time, she was still young and didn't understand. Now thinking about it carefully, it seemed...
Her face suddenly turned red. Her neck was red, her skin was hot, and her eyes were shining.
Jennifer saw her expression and understood: "You must have learned it."
Alice shook her head vigorously and remained silent.
Jennifer smiled evilly and said: "No need to be sarcastic. I can tell by the look on your face that you must be thinking of something."
Jin urged: "Tell me any secrets and share them with everyone. "
Alice said awkwardly: "No, it has nothing to do with... the pronunciation, it's something else."
" Tell us something else." Can't wait, she seems to want to learn more about this.
"Mrs. Schaller..." Alice looked at her slightly puzzled.
Jin sighed bitterly and sat back on the sofa: "Do you think it is comfortable to tie up a man's heart? Especially rich men, their hearts are always fickle."
Alice asked belatedly: "Are you talking about Mr. Schaller?"
< br>Jennifer smiled softly: "It is said that men become bad when they are rich, and women become rich when they become bad. Although this is not necessarily true, from a certain aspect, it still makes sense."
"Mr. Schaller doesn't look like that." Ruola looked at Jin and Jennifer suspiciously.
Jennifer said: "The heart of a young man can be easily judged by his behavior. But the heart of an old man is always hidden very deep. Mrs. Schaller must have a sense of crisis."
Jin turned his attention to Ruola.
"Me...me?" Ruola was shocked and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, no, I don't like old men...Ah, that's not what I meant, I mean...I was just hired You are here for archeology. Mrs. Schaller, why do you think so?”
Jennifer said: “Zola, you are obviously an adult, why are you still so simple-minded? There won't be There are many experts in archeology and cultural relics. Why does Mr. Schaller favor you so much? "Ah~! You mean Mr. Schaller... is interested in me?" Ruola was frightened. , jumped up from the bed: "No, no, how could it be like this? I...I...Mrs. Schaller, I really just came to help Mr. Schaller with his archaeological excavation, and I really didn't think about anything else." ”
Jin raised his hand to stop him: "I didn't blame you, and I didn't say that my husband must be interested in you, but..."
"But what?"
Jin worriedly said: "You are so beautiful and young, and you are at the right age to get married. Seriously, honestly, you are my The most beautiful girl I have ever seen in the world, I...I am really worried that such a day will come."
Ruola shook her head: "Madam, I promise not, absolutely."
The cabin suddenly shook. Alice climbed onto the bed and opened the curtains, and found that the airship had landed.
Jennifer checked the time: "Inadvertently, we chatted for three hours. I said I was a little hungry."
"Sister Ruola, sister Alice." Fuzzy patted hard. Holding the door open, he shouted outside: "Two sisters, we have landed. Come out and play. We have arrived at a small town. There is a very interesting mountain here."
Zhuyan Town is the name of this small town. Name, there are always small towns appearing from time to time in places with water oases in the desert. The houses in Zhuyan Town are all very low, as is the case in most deserts. The houses here are all square and the roofs are flat. There is no obvious source of water here, but there are still some plants growing. There are many barren hills nearby, and the town is built under these hills to avoid the strong winds in the desert.
Alice got off the airship and saw the most eye-catching pillar rock in the town. It was an abrupt pillar rock that was narrow at the bottom and wide at the top. Because it was so weathered, it felt like it would fall down at any time. However, the residents here have built their houses around the mountain, as if they are not worried that one day it will fall down and hit them.
This town is really quite big, with a lot of people living there. A small camel team just arrived outside the town, pointing at the hot air balloons and airships descending from the sky.
On the main continent, it is rare to see people using airships, but hot air balloons can occasionally be seen in the desert. Someone once thought about using hot air balloons to transport goods, but it turned out to be uneconomical. The cost was too high, the risks were too high, and the carrying capacity was limited. Therefore, except for a small amount of valuables, the caravans that transported goods basically used camels or other animals. Mainly pulling goods. There are many people in the town, which can be called a miniature city. The people in the town have noticed the airships and hot air balloons descending from the sky very early. Some people have never seen such novel things and ran out one after another. look.
Qiu Ya said: "We have to leave more people to guard the airship and our rituals. Anyone who can survive in the desert will not be a weak person."
She made arrangements with Tyson and Toast Bear, and left most of them to guard the airship. Those who stayed could enter the town in batches at different times to eat some fresh food, relax, and do some shopping. food, supplement necessary water resources and other supplies. Others wandered around town to see if they could find anything.
When the airship landed, Tusi Xiong observed that there were about three to four hundred private houses in Zhuyan Town. They were not large and were built very densely. There may be nearly a thousand households living there, and the population should be several thousand. They entered from the town entrance, discussed it, and then split up to inquire about the news.
Walking in the town, no matter where you look up, you can see the Dazhu Rock standing in the center of the town. Alice strolled briskly along the narrow town streets with her hands behind her back, with tents erected on both sides and small shops open. There are very few people coming and going here. The shops sell daily necessities, simple tools and weapons for the residents of the town. Water and vegetables are the scarcest items here, so small caravans often come here to sell some dried vegetables and dried fruit pulp. Most of these small caravans are organized by the town's own people.
“I’m hungry, let’s eat something first.” Jennifer smelled the aroma of food and her stomach growled. It's not time to eat yet, there is probably a restaurant or pub nearby.
Smelling the aroma, I found a restaurant. The store was not too small, and the door was open. There were seven or eight simple tables and chairs inside, and there were actually two tables of customers dining. There was only one person at one table and four people at the other table.
Alice, Jennifer, Ruola, Fuzzy, and Alligator found a table and sat down.
Tyson originally wanted Ruola to come with him, but due to what happened in the morning, Ruola declined, so he went with Alice. Fuzzy naturally had to follow Ruola and Alice, and the five of them started searching in the south of the town.
There was no menu on the table, and the alligator had a bad temper. He slapped the table and shouted: "Waiter, boss? Is there anyone to greet you?"
A rush of footsteps came from the stairwell, and a man with his head wrapped A middle-aged woman wearing a leather scarf and a thin veil hurriedly came down to say hello: "Hey, I'm sorry, I didn't expect there would be guests at this time."
Alice asked Said: "What do you have to eat? Why don't you even have a menu?"
The middle-aged woman smiled apologetically: "We provide whatever food we have here. There is no fixed menu. Oh, wine And raisins are always available."
The alligator said, "Okay, okay, let's have what we have, and have more wine."
The middle-aged woman hurriedly prepared the food. After a while, the food came one after another. In addition to wine and raisins, there were also pickled olives and cactus strips. Finally, some dried fish and a pot of unknown stew with something were served. The meat smells very fragrant.
Alice took out a portion and tasted it. It was very sour and a little spicy. In short, it tasted weird, not unpleasant but not delicious. The meat is very chewy and must be stewed with air-dried meat.
Some food is better than nothing. Fortunately, the wine is very good. Desert grapes are always good, and the fermented wine tastes very good.
But it’s hard for Ruola to swallow. She doesn’t like spicy food. The food here is cactus strips, pickled olives, and dried fish. There are no chili peppers, so I don’t know what condiments are used. She ate some and it was so spicy that her mouth turned red, so she had to eat some raisins and drink some wine.
Alice saw that Ruola was having a hard time eating, so she waved to the middle-aged woman and asked, "Do you have anything here that is not spicy to eat? Give us some."
Ruola looked at Alice unexpectedly, feeling a little moved.
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said: "I'm really sorry. In order to facilitate preservation, local food is marinated in red sesame juice. It will taste a bit spicy. You just need to get used to it."
"It's not fresh. In kind?”
“Fresh food” There might be some in other people’s homes.”
Alice glanced at Ruola helplessly, and was about to ask the restaurant proprietress for some information when she heard someone outside the store shout loudly: “Here comes fresh food. Come. Madam, come and help carry the food in.”
"Ah, you're finally back. Have you been injured these days? What kind of food did you pack?" The middle-aged woman hurriedly ran over to ask questions.
"See for yourself." The husband only said this. Several wooden carts pulled by draft animals stopped at the entrance of the store.
