Chapter 435 Extraordinary Delegation (please subscribe!!!)

October 10, Moscow.

During the busy time, time passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye. These days, Ma Wei handed over church affairs to Christopher and Selina, and he, Junia, Levin and Daniel stayed in the conference room all day , using the Germanic language I learned, chatting all over the world, from the Great Famine to the Frederick royal family, from the Frederick royal family to the low-level commoners, and then from the low-level commoners to the Junker nobles.
They chat all the time, their language proficiency has improved by leaps and bounds, and they have a deeper understanding of local cultural customs.

"In our Frederick Kingdom, because we like to eat cheese and smoked sausage, we don't add salt to bread. The most common ones are sweet bread with sugar and small bread with no taste."

Beside the meeting table, Daniel took a charcoal pencil and drew on the paper a fist-sized round bread with a spiral pattern on the top: "Fredericks are very strict, and bread must be cut from the middle when eating. Bavarian People in the south of the state like to cut it vertically, while those in the north of Thuringia like to cut it horizontally.”

"Baking such a small bread is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Is there no other bigger bread in the Kingdom of Frederick?" Levin asked in Germanic with a slight southern accent.

"Of course." Daniel said immediately, "There are three thousand types of bread in the Kingdom of Frederick. The most common is the round bread made of wheat flour and ground bran flour, which is a bit bigger than a human face. Circles, this kind of round bread is usually cut into triangles and served with sauerkraut and pork knuckle.”

"In addition to the round bread, the classic bread style also has two pointed ends like Da Lieba and a thick baguette in the middle. There will be three knife-cut stripes on it. Remember that there must be three strips. Four strips will affect the bread in the oven. Inflated taste, this kind of baguette will be cut vertically regardless of the north and south, cut into small pieces, sandwiched with sausage, pickles and cheese, and some people dip it in broth”

Daniel was spitting and said all the customs he knew. Ma Wei kept nodding, silently remembering the habit of not putting salt in the bread, different breads cut in different ways, and served with different meals.
To be honest, the rules of Frederick Kingdom are too many and complicated, as if there is obsessive-compulsive disorder. For example, a small bread that is also the size of a fist, with spiral patterns on the top is called marilla bread, and the top is drawn with a stripe. It's called Suriland Bread. Although it looks similar, it is called quite differently and completely differently.

These are just eating habits, and there are countless rules and regulations when it comes to speaking tone and dialect customs.

Daniel grew up in the Kingdom of Frederick. Because he was the first crown prince, he had to meet officials from various places with William V since he was a child. He was good at observing and knew the dining habits of officials from all over the place. This was of great help to Ma Wei and others. .

At the same time, Ma Wei and the others also realized that Daniel was not happy at all in Wangyou Palace. His life had already been planned. Everything must be strictly enforced in accordance with the regulations.

Didn't William V love Daniel?

As a father, he certainly cherishes his children, but as a king, he must cultivate an excellent heir for the kingdom.

Daniel also lived up to expectations. As the only boy under King William V, he is very good. Whether it is swordsmanship, etiquette or behavior, he reveals a strong aristocratic demeanor, elegant, easy-going, indifferent, and calm. Almost all good adjectives Can be used on him.

But since Daniel stayed in the Romanov Kingdom with Mawei as his teacher, these court etiquette and elegant aristocratic style gradually disappeared. From the rigid and strict at the beginning, they gradually became relaxed and indifferent, perhaps because they realized that there was no one here. Control him, and Ma Wei always emphasizes that he should be close to the people, and Levin, a shit stick, plays him all day long
The aristocratic temperament of the past was hidden, and Daniel became active, and he began to learn to express his inner thoughts, and occasionally farted on the dining table, and was unmoved by everyone's disgusting eyes.
He has faded the aura of the first crown prince, and he often goes out shopping as a commoner. Those commoners will never be frightened when they see him again. Last time he went shopping, he also met a thief and his wallet was stolen. Hearing this Son, Levin was about to go out to avenge him, but Daniel said no, he didn't like the leather wallet with the Frederick royal badge in gold, and every time he paid, he would be reminded that he was the first crown prince, so pay attention Words and deeds.
"What's wrong? The prince also throws things away. If you lose something you hate, you lose it. If you don't see it, you don't worry about it. Maybe the thief who stole my wallet has been hungry for several days, so he did it as a last resort. , Didn’t the teacher often say that we should treat the people well and be considerate of the people?” he said.

Then Daniel was so poor that month that he couldn't even afford a glass of kvass, and he didn't become rich again until the next month when King William V sent him living expenses.

"The price of bread can never be raised." Daniel said: "My father and Prime Minister Bismarck both believe that the price of wheat flour is related to the stability of the current situation. Over the years, a number of subsidy policies have been introduced for the import and export of wheat flour, making the bread of the Frederick Kingdom The price has been so low that poor people can afford bread made from pure wheat flour."

"Do you have any delicious snacks?" Junia asked curiously with her eyes wide open.

As soon as desserts were mentioned, her originally poor Germanic language became fluent, especially the words 'snacks', 'cakes', and 'desserts', all of which were pronounced standard, and the words were correct, and she even used the tongue on.

"Sugar has always been an important material. In the past, the Frederick Kingdom could only import sweet condiments such as icing sugar, granulated sugar, and maple syrup from abroad. It was not until the technology of beet sugar production was invented that the situation was alleviated."

Daniel talked eloquently: "Because the people's demand for sugar is very high, they can buy cheap sugar that they couldn't eat before, and they will add it to food crazily. It’s sweeter, and people also like to eat sweeter foods, such as plum jam cake, hazelnut cake, etc., should be sprinkled with a thin layer of icing sugar on the surface, and served with coffee and scented tea.”

"In other words, I want to eat more desserts, right?" Junia's eyes lit up.

"You can put it this way." Daniel smiled: "But the biggest difference between us and the people of Windsor is that we don't add sugar or lemon juice to hot tea, we only add some milk to balance the taste. Compared with tea, ready-made tea bags are more popular, and coffee is more popular than scented tea.”

It's no secret that the Windsors love tea. You can make them go without food for three days, but you can't make them go without tea for three days, just like a Slavic man can't go without drinking for three days. He has a crazy love for something.

What's even more exaggerated is that people in Windsor only drink freshly brewed tea, even on the battlefield.

Windsor people’s love for tea is largely due to the pollution of water sources. Many rivers in Windsor are seriously polluted. When the water flow rate decreases in winter, it will emit a strong stench. Even if it is boiled, there will be a strange smell. Tea just solves the problem. solved this problem.

Boom boom boom!
While Ma Wei and the others were constantly discussing the eating habits of the Kingdom of Frederick, someone knocked on the door of the conference room. Selina walked in, holding a stack of documents in her arms, and said softly, "Father, they have arrived. .”

"Well, I see."

The smile on his face disappeared little by little, Ma Wei nodded to Selina, took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and found that it was already 10 o'clock in the morning, and there were only four hours left before the Truth Assembly.

Counting the time, those extraordinary races who accepted the invitation are about to arrive.

The invitation letter from the Church of Truth not only invites these extraordinary races to participate in the second Truth Congress, but more importantly, this invitation letter represents the official opening of the door of human society to them, which is of great significance.

"Let's go."

Ma Wei got up and said: "Go and meet the representatives sent by these extraordinary races, hope"

"They can surprise me."
