Chapter 63 (1/2)
It has been half a day since I left Ellington. The light at noon is very fierce. Even the hard-working coachman has to hide from the sun and stop his carriage to have a rest under the tree.
Donne got out of the carriage with a strange look on his face.
Although he was in a carriage before, he didn't sit so long. Today is the first time he has sat in a carriage for such a long time.
His bones were falling apart in just one morning.
”Obviously, we have such a long history of civilization, but we haven't even solved the shock absorption problem of the carriage...”
Donne smiled bitterly, and the problem seemed to have to be solved by him.
Although there is no rubber tree near Ellington, he can still get the spring. Even if there is no tire damping, the damping effect of the frame will be much better if there is a spring. [e1]
After putting the idea aside for a while, Donne opened the package Fiona had prepared for him, and then smiled bitterly again.
Black bread, bacon, and fresh milk.
It has been more than half a month since I came to prandal, but I usually eat most bread, barbecue, bacon and a kind of thick soup with miscellaneous vegetables
Seriously, it feels good to eat these pollution-free foods at the beginning, but after eating for a long time, Donne misses the delicious food on the earth very much. Even if it doesn't mention those delicious Sichuan hotpot and copper pot boiled mutton, it's just an ordinary tomato scrambled egg. It's estimated that Donne can drool.
However, it's a pity that Donne didn't find tomatoes at present, but there are many kinds of eggs
Pepper, hemp pepper, star anise and fennel, which are commonly used seasonings, are missing, which makes Donne very depressed.
If he can get pepper and hemp pepper, he can also try to restore Sichuan hot pot. After all, hot pot is not as complex as other dishes. It has requirements. As long as it tastes enough, it can also help him satisfy his greed.
”Alas, I'd better look back, or I'll really collapse...”
Donne sighed. Although prandal is a world full of charm, it's a pity that there are too many places that modern people on earth who enjoy abundant material culture can't adapt to.
”Big brother, what are you sighing?”
”Our lunch, of course.”
”Lunch? Lunch is good.”
Elia didn't have as much emotion as Donne. She was very happy eating bread and bacon, which alleviated Donne's melancholy.
”Lord, we'd better have a rest after lunch.”
The coachman said modestly, ”the light in the afternoon is very fierce. I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid the Lord can't stand it.”
”No, let's go after dinner.”
Donne looked at the sky. ”It won't be hot in a minute.”
The coachman didn't know where Donne got such great confidence, but since the LORD had orders, of course he had to obey.
”By the way, what's your name?”
”Ford, sir.”
The coachman said respectfully, ”it's my honor to serve you.”
”Ford, you have been a coachman for so many years and have been to many places. Let me ask you, have you ever heard of a plant, red and sharp, which will feel very hot when you eat it?”
”Very hot?”
Ford was stunned. ”Sir, I don't know what you mean by 'very hot'.”
”Er...”
Donne bit the bacon with a tangled face. How does he convey the message of ”spicy” to a world without the concept of ”spicy”?
Suddenly, he snapped his fingers: ”Oh, by the way, eating is like a fire in his mouth. He wants to drink water very much.”
”Fire in your mouth?”
Ford recalled it and said with a smile, ”Lord, I probably know what you're talking about. It's a coincidence that there are such things in castle caspami, which is called Devil's fangs by the locals.”
”Oh!?”
Donne's spirit was refreshed and overjoyed: ”is it red? And cyan? The smell is very pungent?”
”Yes, my Lord.”
Ford described the so-called devil's fangs in detail. Donne smiled after listening. He was sure that what Ford said was the pepper he was looking for.
It seems that there will be some unexpected gains from this trip to Castle caspami?
After lunch, they were on the road again. When they were on the road, Ford, the coachman, was surprised to find that it was really not hot.
Looking up, a white cloud blocked the strong light and made the surrounding temperature very comfortable. Even the two horses had strength.
