The Rise of the European Emperor

Angela, as the wife of the Grand Duchy of the North Sea, naturally has plenty of snacks there. Dried bananas, dried apples, preserved fruits, candied fruit, everything, as well as melon seeds and rare peanuts in Europe.

Don't think that these snacks are very common. In modern times, these may be very common civilian snacks, but in this era of Europe, they are very simple things.

The first is dried bananas and peanuts, which are not available in Europe at all. Only Marin got these two things through the big voyage, so that there is no shortage of these two snacks in the palace of Beihai Kingdom. There are also preserved fruits and candied fruit, which are very popular snacks for girls in later generations, and are also very rare in this era. It's not that fruit is rare, but sucrose is rare...

Because Europe does not produce sugar, sucrose is extremely expensive, and it is still sold as a rarity in pharmacies. The wholesale price is 1 shilling per pound, and the retail price is 1 shilling 6 pfennig per pound, which is 18 pfennig per pound, which is equivalent to 9 days' wages of a prime-age man. If you go to places where inland transportation is not developed, the price of sugar exceeds 20 pfennig per pound.

At such a high price, even if the fruit is worthless, the sucrose that can be preserved in candied fruit is expensive. Therefore, these candied fruit snacks, which are very common in later generations, can only be eaten often by noble families in this era.

Beihai King's Palace does not lack these, but Marin does not let the children eat more. After all, preserved fruit and candied fruit are all pickled in sucrose, which can cause tooth decay. Therefore, Marin asked Angela to take care of the snacks, and even if Ferris wanted to eat, she would ask Angela for it. Of course, this is also a means for Marin to appease the back house. Felice even had to ask Angela for snacks, can she still have a palace fight with Angela? Where does the confidence come from?

Sure enough, when Ma Yun came to Angela's palace, his mother Felice was fighting against the landlord with Angela and a maid in charge, while nibbling on preserved fruit and candied fruit...

What makes Ma Yun depressed is that his sister Ma Li, who is his sister, is being served by a maid to eat snacks, looking like she is enjoying herself...

"Hello auntie, hello mom!" After giving the two hostess a salute, Ma Yun ran directly to Ma Li's small table and grabbed a handful of snacks on the table. While sending it to his mouth, he condemned:

"Mary, you're too much, you don't even call me for snacks!"

When Ma Li saw the snacks being robbed, her eyes filled with tears, and she looked like she was about to cry...

After Angela saw it, she smiled and said:

"Mario, you are a boy, how can you grab your sister's snacks? You won't be able to find a girlfriend in the future."

Ferris and the head maid who were playing cards laughed when they heard this...

But little Ma Yun still didn't understand, and said loudly:

"I don't want a girlfriend, I want snacks!" Then, he grabbed a handful of snacks from the table in front of his sister Mary and stuffed them into his pockets.

Seeing that Mary was about to cry, Angela waved her hand and ordered:

"Quick, add some more snacks to little Mary!"

No way, Mary is so favored. Who is Angela and Ferris, the sisters have a total of 5 children, but only Mary is a girl. There are more boys, and girls are more popular. Just like in later generations, because there are more men than women, girls are also very popular.

...

In the office area of ​​the forecourt of the palace, Marin worked for a day, and when the sun was setting, he stretched a lot and said speechlessly:

"Hey, fighting for hegemony or something, it's really tiring! It's better to be a hands-off shopkeeper!"

However, the authority or something, Marin dare not give it to others. If it is overthrown, it may be overthrown. Therefore, when choosing this path, while enjoying the glory, you also have to endure fatigue and pressure.

In early spring, it gets dark early, and it gets dark just after five o'clock. Malin didn't have the habit of working overtime with lights on, so he put on his coat and left the office. Before leaving, he ordered the guard on duty to lock the door and extinguish the fire in the room.

Marin's office is located on the east side of the front yard, that is, near the southeast corner of the palace, near the palace guard station of the commander of Kahn. The reason for this arrangement,

It's just the fear of someone raiding the palace. The palace guards close to Kahn are not afraid of enemy raids at the main entrance. Malin remembered that it was said in the history books that during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, people from the Tianli Sect had invaded the Forbidden City. If it weren't for the fact that the Forbidden City was too big and there were too many doors, the people of Tianli Sect were confused, and Jiaqing would be over.

Aurich's palace is not as big as the Forbidden City, with only two courtyards. If the guards were not able to react in time to be raided from the main entrance, it would be doomed. Therefore, Marin put his office next to the palace guard station, even if a madman came in, to protect his safety.

After coming out of the office, Marin went downstairs and walked north from the corridor, first passing Ferris' yard in the northeast corner of the backyard.

When passing by, a little black face like Xiao Ma Yun suddenly appeared in Marin's mind. So, he decided to go see this naughty son. After all, this is the child with the same name as the richest man in Ma. Just the name, sticking it on the door can ward off evil spirits.

But when he entered Ma Yun's room, Ma Lin didn't see anyone. The hot kang in the house was still burning, and then, Marin saw torn cabbage leaves all over the kang...

After being roasted on a hot kang for an afternoon, many Chinese cabbage leaves are shriveled...

Malin was suddenly angry, and it happened that Xiao Ma Yun was rushing back from Angela's side with a bag full of snacks. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Yun's ear was pinched by Marin...

"Ouch, it hurts!" Xiao Ma Yun called out.

"Say, why do you fill the kang with good Chinese cabbage? Do you know? How difficult it is for ordinary people to eat a bite of vegetables at this time? Even many nobles can't eat vegetables at this time!"

Xiao Ma Yun's ears were twisted, but his eyes kept rolling. He knew that if he didn't give a reasonable explanation at this time, his ass would definitely bloom. Marin has never been polite to boys. Of the 5 children in the backyard of the palace, I am afraid that only the girl Mary was beaten the least. Well, there is also William, who is not old enough to be beaten... Even the most sensible Caesar was beaten a few years ago...

"Because...because...I deliberately dried the Chinese cabbage..." Xiao Ma Yun said casually in order to avoid being beaten.

"What? Deliberately drying? I'll kill you..." But Marin's slap didn't fall, and stopped in mid-air...

"Deliberately drying... drying..." Marin was suddenly startled. And Xiao Ma Yun took the opportunity to let his ears leave Malin's hand, and the whole person ran out of the room and went to Angela to seek shelter. In the entire backyard of the palace, Angela can protect him, and what Ferris said might not work...

But Marin didn't go after the naughty little Ma Yun, but picked up the dried cabbage leaves that had been dried for several hours on the kang, and observed...

Probably because the drying temperature is not enough or the drying time is not enough, this shriveled cabbage leaf still has a little moisture. But after Marin asked someone to find a water basin, the shriveled vegetables were soaked in the water. After a while, the vegetable leaves become plump after absorbing water...
