Chapter 939

“It’s better to eat bark than to starve. Kingswood’s large pine forest should be enough for King’s Landing to cook for two more years, right? Anyway, I have to cut down the trees for firewood, and just plan the roots.” Rugen took all the bread After eating, he showed a smile.

Pylo pouted at the bacon on the shelf, and said slowly: "As long as you are brave and have a good appetite, let alone two more years, it will not be a problem to survive Long Night.

Thousands of Wights are scary, and the single Wights, dozens or hundreds, can only make some people happier.

Didn't you find it?

Recently Randyll Tarly rarely leads Warrior's Sons out of town to sweep Wights, there are strong men in the city to follow Dragon Queen's sleigh volunteers and team up to hunt Wights out of town, just like when Summer, nobles went hunting in the woods."

Rugen narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, "It doesn't distinguish between humans and animals?"

"Could it be that the brown soup appeared today?" Pylo asked back.

"I heard that cannibalism will go to Stranger Hell to be punished after death." Rugen frowned.

"You'll be fined, just survive."

"I need some bacon and bread," Rugen said.

"What kind of bread do you want? There are high-end white bread, whole-wheat bread, mid-range pine bark bread, bran and soybean meal bread, and low-end rice bran and sawdust bread.

Bacon There are also grades, top-level Wights magical beast meat, high-level livestock meat, ordinary meat from unknown sources, and the lowest-level Wights meat."

Pylo is familiar, while pointing at the shelf. Show the actual items on the display to the guests.

"What's the price?" Rugen asked.

Pylo hesitated for a moment, then said, "You want to pay with Golden Dragon? I'm afraid it will be more expensive. If you can barter, it will be more cost-effective."

He pointed to the counter The people who were queuing up to buy bread said, "Look, many of them have no money and hold the vouchers issued by our shop.

For example, you dug 200 catties of cleaned pine trees outside the city. The root bark can be exchanged for 20 catties of pine bark bread, or 10 catties of white bread, or 30 catties of rice bran bread in my shop."

"This is too cheap." Rugen was surprised, "200 A catty of bark can be exchanged for 10 catties of white bread, don't you lose?"

"It's not a loss, it's not a loss." Pylo said.

"What is a loss and a loss?" Rugen asked curiously.

"A brawny man works five hours a day and can easily dig up 100 pounds of thick pine bark. Hiring a brawny man for a day's wages only needs 10 copper plates, but don't even think about buying one for 100 copper plates. Pounds of bread. According to this method, one hundred pounds of pine bark is exchanged for five pounds of bread, which is a huge loss.”

Rugen gently nodded, “It’s a loss.”

“But a The root bark of a hundred catties of pine can be air-dried and ground into powder, which can make about 20 catties of bread, 20 catties of grain for 5 catties of bread, and I still have 15 catties of food left, right?"

"This ," Rugen was stunned, "it seems that there are 15 catties of grain left, but the value of bread and bark is not the same!"

"What is value? Only things that can save more people have value. , In Long Night, what is the use of Golden Dragon?

And, we are not at a loss, the food is provided by Church, and our bakery is a contractor, earning a little bit of money to make ends meet.”

"Uh," Rugen froze again, "Church is helping the people?"

"Yes."

"They used to distribute food and bread directly. . Now this kind of relief, a little bit of Dragon Queen." Rugen pondered.

"Septons made it clear that this is Saint Dany's order." Pylo said with the respectful attitude of Little Red soldiers reciting Founder's quotations: "Saint Dany believes that it is better to work hard and start a business. There is hope!

Digging tree roots, picking up pine nuts, killing Others for meat, and fishing in rivers are all considered output, and they can all come to my shop for bread or bacon.

Under Long Night, everyone must contribute to the cause of fighting against Others.

Warriors picked up Dragonfang and slashed at the heads of the devils with swords; the common people were self-reliant and created through labor Value, it can be regarded as the front line of the Anti-Japanese War.

This is what Saint Dany said."

Rugen's mouth twitched, "The King of King's Landing should be Stannis, right?"

p>

The fat baker was stunned for a while before he whispered: "He now occupies King's Landing, but he is not our King."

"The new issue of "Long Night Heroes List" It's out!" At this moment, a teenager with frostbite on his face held a parchment and shouted while running on the street: "Dragon Queen announced that oneself's points will be frozen, Stannis topped the list, and Sansa fell to the last place."

"Hey, Donnie, wait a minute," the baker hurried out of the shop, stopped the boy and asked, "Show me the 'Hero List'."

" Two coins." The boy stretched out two fingers.

"Okay." After paying the money and taking the parchment roll, the bread master exclaimed, "Lady Sansa is so miserable, success is also Arya, and failure is also Arya.

The last time there were more than 50,000 points, this time it was directly negative 50,000, the last one.

Stannis was responsible for the fall of King's Landing, and only 5,000 points remained in the 30,000 points; Dragon Queen points are locked, Don't participate in the ranking for the time being.

In this case, the first place is still Stannis, everyone else is too disappointing."

"Didn't Sansa join Stannis?" Rugen wondered.

"The heathen King is unwilling to carry fifty thousand in debt." The frostbite-faced boy said with a smile.

"What was the previous negotiation?" Rugen's mouth twitched.

"The food she feeds King's Landing is always real," said the Fat Bread master.

"Is Sansa angry?" Rugen's eyes flashed with concern.

"Can you not be angry?" The teenager said with a smile: "Some people said she fainted, some said she vomited three liters of blood, some said she fell ill, and some said she was just a face It's ugly, just close the door and hide in the room to get sullen."

"Why did Dragon Queen freeze the points and kill millions of Wights, she is estimated to have 100,000 points now?" Bread master mumbled.

"She doesn't want other people to despair. Desperate people have no motivation to kill Others." The teenager blurted out.

Seeing the suspicious eyes of the two people on the opposite side, his face flushed with frostbite, and he quickly said, "Everyone said that." On, Rugen said to Fat Pylo: "Can I use Golden Dragon to buy common people's bark and pine cones, and then come to you for bread?"

"No," the fat bread master shook his head repeatedly. "The poor households in need of assistance all over the city have been registered with Church, and Septon will issue them with household registration certificates, and the people will take the household registration certificates to the designated points in the block in exchange for bread..."

He pointed to Customers in the store, "They are all aboriginal people in Baker Lane, everyone is neighbors, who doesn't know who?

They all go out together, work together, how much they harvest and how much food they need. .

Who dares to buy and sell, the loss is still everyone's interests, they can allow it?

You should not have a poor household certificate from Church, right?

No If so, I can do your business too, but Golden Dragon can only buy bread at the market price."

"The market price is too expensive." Rugen shook his head and sighed.

"You can go to Fishmonger's Square and have a look. Some people are very strong and can endure hardships. They have too much root bark, so they can change them for wine and leather jackets.

With Golden Dragon, you can get bark noodles cheaper than mine." Pylo suggested.

Rugen was planning to go to Fishmonger's Square when he heard the words of his old friend and left "Others Bread Shop".

As Pylo said, the square is very lively. Many residents carry ground bark or firewood to the grocery store to change daily necessities such as iron pots, cloths, and drinks.

There are also direct exchange of money, and we will meet to go to Eel Alley happy tonight. There are also businessmen standing at the door of the store and haggling loudly to buy the bark noodles and firewood in the store.

In the beginning, Rugen thought that those merchants bought bark noodles to hoard them. After a few years, the forest and grain were eaten up, and they were sold.

Later, when he asked carefully, he was stunned. It turned out that those were all wine merchants, and they actually used bark noodles to make wine.

"Is it really possible to make wine?" he leaned over, said curiously.

"What's the root bark of a tree? Dragon Queen also makes wine directly from the bark of cedar and birch!" The businessman said disapprovingly.

"I've never heard of it before." Rugen was dreaming.

"It's also just invented. It's not too exaggerated. As long as you can eat the food in your stomach, most of them can make wine." The grocery store Boss took a small half of the glass and handed it to Rugen.

light azure is a clear liquid scented with alcohol and pine cones.

Rugen took a sip, then widened his eyes in disbelief: "This is really wine! It feels better than Dorne Summer Red."

"Of course It's real wine, but to say that it tastes better than Summer Red would be an exaggeration." The grocery store Boss shook his head.

"I feel sick to my stomach after drinking too much. It is said that the formula is still being improved." The wine merchant said.

"It's good to have alcohol at Long Night," Rugen said.

"That's true," agreed the wine merchant nodded.

"Your Excellency, how much root bark flour do you want to buy?" asked the grocery store Boss.

After Rugen asked the price, he pondered: "Five hundred pounds first, and bacon, the Wights meat of the lowest, also five hundred pounds."

The shop Boss reminded: "You can't eat tree root bark flour alone. If you eat too much, you won't be able to poop. It's best to eat it with wheat flour."

Rugen laughed, "I bought meat, too much Drink some broth and you can pull it out."

cheapskate!

The Boss of the grocery store cursed in his heart, and began to order his staff to load Rugen.

"Previous King's Daughter is here, Previous King's Daughter is giving out relief food!"

Suddenly, a strong horse galloped down the river that connected to Aegon's High Hill, and the horse was in flames. red heart Knight shouted over and over again.

He fell like a drop of water into the frying pan of Fishmonger's Square.

The surrounding residents and traders rushed out of their houses like crazy, shouting "Long Live Previous King's Daughter, Long Live Princess Mya, Long Live Stannis Your Majesty", and ran to the high hills to the east.

Rugen was surprised to see oneself's old friend, Pylo, in the running crowd.

The fat chef led four or five guys, seven or eight aunties, flushed with excitement, and waved a flag of a flaming stag (Second Stag's family emblem).

"Long Live Previous King's Daughter, Long Live Princess Mya, Long Live Stannis Your Majesty, Long Live Red God!" Fatty's voice came from a distance, making Rugen a little dazed.

Isn't he an agent for Church?

Isn't he a devout family of The Seven?

Isn't he proficient in reciting Dany Founder's quotations?

He just said, "Stannis takes King's Landing, but he's not his king," right?

Rugen is lost.

And when he was confused, the grocery store Boss and the guy who were helping him load the flour and bacon on the trolley didn't know where to find a flaming stag flag, and ran away shouting slogans. go out.

Red's armor, red's cape, with the clan emblem of the flaming stag emblazoned on his chest, King's Daughter holds his head high and rides a tall brown red horse like a fire.

There are forty-fifty red heart Knight around her, like all the stars cup themselves around the moon, protect her in the center, behind the cavalry, there is a long row of carry, piled up on it Sacks, dried fish, bacon, turnip, corn on the cob and apples.

Gold Cloak trotted along on either side of the carriage.

The procession stopped at the southern end of Fishmonger's Square, set up a stage, and lined up. King's Daughter stood on the high platform, raised his hammer and said a few words of inspiration, and then the residents lining up below the stage raised the king's flag, They shouted in unison, "Long live Saint Mya, Long live Stannis Your Majesty, Long live R'hllor!"

Then the residents took out the "Certificate of Needy Household" issued by Church, and Mya scooped a scoop of wheat for him .

In addition to about three kilograms of wheat, there are also one kilogram of dried fish and bacon, four fist-sized turnips, a corn or a shriveled apple.

Well, you can only choose between corn and apples.

The faces of the citizens were filled with happy smiles. King's Daughter, who distributed relief food for the poor residents, showed a simple and happy smile even though he was busy with brow beaded with sweat.

Everyone, she sincerely wishes, "King is with you", "We will definitely beat Long Night", "R'hllor's glory shines on us all", etc. The words came out of her mouth, and were praised by the citizens nodded bowed, respectful, grateful and "Saint Mya Mercy".

"Ai, if Robert could have brought her to King's Landing and trained her well, he might have been able to teach a qualified eldest daughter of the king." Rugen sighed.

"Yes, much stronger than Cersei and Margaery, at least strong, sincere, virtuous, not messing around. Alas, poor, the Seven Kingdoms monarch's requirements are so low."

"Yes, much stronger than Cersei and Margaery. p>

Rugen suddenly turned around and said in horror: "Who are you, Tyrion? You—"

"We are preachers, and now you are the only one missing." Hound indifferently said.
