King of German Mercenaries

Through the conversation on the way, Marin learned that the Kahn family was originally serfs from a nearby landlord's family. However, since Kahn began to develop a few years ago, he is particularly able to eat, and one person can eat the amount of food for three people.

Although, Kahn is also more powerful. If it is placed in a knight's collar, there is a chance that Kahn will be recruited as a knight's attendant. Because, Kahn has the potential to become a warrior.

However, the owner of the manor where the Kahn family is located is just an ordinary landowner and squire, and does not need a rice bucket that can be beaten. In addition, the harvest of the manor has not been good in recent years, so last year, the Kahn family was swept out of the house.

Kahn's father, Zmailman, knew a little about carpentry, so he went to the city to work for a carpenter's shop. And Kahn, with his mother, two younger brothers and younger sister, a total of 5 people, built a simple wooden house on the edge of the Black Forest. Usually, Kahn goes to the forest to pick up dead branches as firewood (the logging is subject to the approval of the lord), and sells it to the city people to earn a little money.

And Kahn's mother, with her younger brothers and sisters, went to the forest to pick wild fruit mushrooms and dried them for food...

Because Kahn eats a lot, even though Zmailman's income is good, his family is trying to find a way to subsidize the family. However, everyone was still very tight.

This year, Kahn has turned 18 years old, and Zmailman had taken Kahn to the city at the beginning of the year, intending to make him an apprentice. However, after seeing Kahn's terrifying appetite, those artisan shops rejected Kahn without exception (apprentices have no wages, but they have to manage meals)...

In desperation, Kahn had to come back to accompany his mother and younger siblings. Unexpectedly, Kahn's mother, Jenny, fell ill and was weak. Because the whole family started to starve after spending all their savings on medical treatment for his mother... So, Kahn thought of learning from other hunters and went to the depths of the forest to hunt quietly (the lords here are not strict with the people hunting, A lot of people hunted quietly, getting caught and beaten at most). Unfortunately, the first time I hunted, not only did I fail to catch the prey, but I became the prey and fell into the trap...

Coming to the wooden house, Kahn put down the wild boar, pushed aside the dilapidated fence in front of the house, and shouted:

"Mom, I'm back! Here's a distinguished guest!"

Soon, a haggard-faced middle-aged woman came out with a boy of fifteen or sixteen, a boy of about twelve and a little girl of ten.

"Kahn, who is this master?" The middle-aged woman looked at Marin and knew that the other party might be a knight.

"Dear Madam, my name is Marin, I'm a knight." Marin introduced himself, and saluted by the way.

"You are too polite, Sir Knight, we are just commoners and cannot afford your courtesy!" The middle-aged woman said in panic. In her memory, only the commoners have always saluted or even kowtowed to the nobles. How can the nobles bow to the commoners? Moreover, she is just a low-level woman without a surname, and can't bear the honorary title of "Mrs.".

That is, Marin, a traveler, doesn't pay much attention to social class differences. Putting it on another knight would definitely not look at a commoner. If you can talk to ordinary people, you will feel that you are very generous to each other.

Hearing that Marin was a knight, the younger boy and girl were terrified and hid behind the women. On the contrary, the fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy looked at Marin with curious eyes and was not afraid.

"Khloe, what are you looking at? You still don't salute the knight master?" Kahn glared at his second brother Kohler.

Kohler reacted and gave Marin a salute, but after the salute, he still looked at Marin curiously. Of course, this is not the kind of wanton scrutiny, but a peek like a little boy...

"Kahn, go, drag that wild boar in!" Marin ordered casually.

"Sir, what do you want?"

"Let's open a guy at your house and let's eat together."

"No, no, how dare we eat your food, sir!" Jenny shook her head.

"It's alright, it's settled. But, ma'am, can you help me make some food?" Marin could see that Jenny's illness was cured, but she was still very weak. About half of them were hungry too.

"OK……"

"Kahn, will you kill pigs? This wild boar hasn't been dealt with yet?" Marin suddenly remembered that this wild boar didn't seem to have been dealt with...

"Yes, my lord, at the beginning of the year, I worked as a helper in the slaughterhouse in the city for a few days, so I can kill pigs! Look at me!" Then, Kahn took the newly bought one that Marin handed him. Sharp knives to deal with wild boars.

Although the technique was a little rusty, Kahn managed to get rid of the wild boar. However, the boar skin was a little damaged because Marin shot several arrows.

Jenny quickly cut ten catties of wild boar according to Marin's request and went to the kitchen to cook.

An hour later, Marin looked at the food on the table, frowning a little...

"Ma'am, you can only roast and cook meat?"

"Huh? Yes. Isn't that what everyone does?" Jenny didn't understand what Marin meant.

Marin also reacted instantly - how do Europeans know how to cook...

It's just that he couldn't bear to see the delicious wild boar wasted on the mechanical roasting and boiling of the ancient Germans...

Then, Marin asked:

"Ma'am, do you have a pot at home?"

"Ah? Yes, yes, there's a pan!"

"Span frying pan..." Although it's not a professional pan for cooking, it's better than nothing.

Then, under the surprised eyes of the Kahn family, Marin took off his armor and walked into the kitchen...

After entering the kitchen, Marin called Kahn and told him to set the fire. And he himself, began to prepare cooking...

But to Marin's despair, at Kahn's house, there was no oil for cooking...

It is no wonder that these days, Europeans only have two expensive edible oils, butter and olive oil, which are often used only by nobles. Well, use some animal fat too...

"That's right, animal fat!" Marin patted his head, then, with a short knife, went to cut some pig fat from the carcass of the wild boar, and threw it into the pot to boil the lard...

After boiling the lard, Marin took out the sliced ​​meat that Jenny helped cut, threw it into the pot, and started to stir fry...

In addition to lard, Kahn's family only has salt as a condiment. In desperation, Marin can only choose to put some salt...

Half an hour later, a scent wafted out of the kitchen, causing Kahn, Kohler, Kleiman, and Mina to drool...

After the fried pork slices were served, everyone except Jenny stared with saliva.

"Don't look, let's eat together!" Marin took the lead. The others were hesitant at first, but after Kahn started, a few children started rushing to eat... After a while, a plate of fried pork slices was gone...

"I'm sorry, my lord, the children are too greedy!" Jenny saw that it was worth it, grabbing the knight's food, aren't you afraid of being killed...

But Marin didn't care. This fried pork chop was actually not very tasty because of the lack of seasoning. Of course, that is relative to the Chinese stir-fry of later generations. In this era, it can be regarded as the first time that Marin has eaten stir-fried vegetables.

"It's okay, it's nothing. It's a big deal! Let's fry another one!"

The second time to cook, Jenny did not dare to let Marin do it herself, but planned to do it herself. Under Marin's guidance, Jenny also managed to cook a decent plate of fried pork. Then, it was divided up by several bear children...

"Oh, it's really delicious, if only I could eat meat every day!" Kahn sighed contentedly after he was full.

"Come on, brother, unless you can become a servant of a noble, you will have a chance to live such a life." Kohler said bitterly. The servants of the nobles, even if they eat leftovers, have the opportunity to eat delicious food. As for the commoners, they can only eat black stick and brick bread...

"A nobleman's attendant..." Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Marin - isn't this a ready-made noble?

"Big... Sir, are you short of errands around you?" Jenny asked nervously. She could see that Marin was a knight, but there seemed to be no knight attendants around. Maybe it's because I'm still young.

"Servants... not yet, I plan to recruit a few more attendants after I join His Majesty the Emperor." Marin revealed his plans, and it wasn't a secret anyway.

"Emperor...Emperor...Your Majesty..." Several villagers were stunned by Marin's plan. Usually, knights are high and high in their eyes. The emperor is said to be much bigger than the knight master...

The Kahn family unanimously agreed that Marin's future was limitless. Can a knight who can serve the emperor have no future?

Then, Kahn immediately looked at Marin with dissatisfied eyes:

"Sir, can you accept me as a servant? I'm very strong!" After speaking, Kahn also showed his muscles to show his strength.

"Very strong, can you move the stone at the door?" There was a large stone in front of Kahn's house, weighing about three hundred pounds. Seeing the stone at the door, Marin asked casually jokingly.

"Look at it!" After Kahn finished speaking, he ran over excitedly, lifted the stone, and raised it above his head...

Marin was taken aback. He was able to lift a 300-pound thing, which was considered a lot of strength. You know, Marin himself was only able to carry (not lift) 200 jins in his previous life, so he would be considered a strong man in later life.

What he didn't know was that this 300-pound rock was actually the "sports equipment" that Kahn usually used to exercise. Kahn's limit was more than 300 pounds, and it was extremely abnormal...

"Very good, a little strength, just right for me to get my armor and lance!"

"So?"

"Follow me as long as you want, 3 pfennig wages a day!"

"Then... what about eating? My lord, our Kahn eats a bit too much..."

"How much to eat? How much can I have?" Marin is not surprised, generally the generals are all rice buckets. For example, Xue Rengui, the size of each meal is calculated with buckets, not bowls.

"At least 6 pounds of food a day, maybe 8 to 10 pounds if you eat it open..." Jenny was a little embarrassed. However, this is an important question, and she does not dare to deceive the knight. For an average adult, two pounds of food a day is enough, and their food bucket Kahn needs to eat at least 6 pounds a day...

"Uh... it is indeed edible. But, Kahn, do you dare to follow me on the battlefield? You will die at any time!" Marin didn't care about the appetite, but about the courage and guts.

"No problem, my lord, do you have enough to eat with you? As long as you are full, we can do anything, and we are not afraid of death!" Kahn said honestly.

"Okay, I like bold men. Okay, I'll accept you!"

"Thank you for your appreciation!" Jenny was very pleasantly surprised, not only for Kahn's good future, but also for the poor family to get rid of a rice bucket...

"Lord...Look, can I do it?" Kohler was also very moved when he saw that his elder brother became a knight's entourage.

"Khloe, do you have any specialties? Your elder brother is strong, what skills do you have?" Marin recruited his subordinates, but he was unwilling to take away his skills.

"I... I have a good memory, and I can still settle accounts..."

"Accounting... Have you read books?" In the Middle Ages, calculating accounts was not something ordinary people could do. Generally, only noble families, merchant families and wealthy families teach children to settle accounts.

"No, I stole it from the Jewish merchants in town, and can use Arabic numerals..."

"Steal learning..." Marin was speechless, stealing learning can learn to settle accounts, it seems that this Kohler's IQ is quite high. However, are he and his eldest brother Kahn, who has a low IQ, really brothers? who picked it up?

Then, Marin tested Kohler's three-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and found that Kohler answered well. It's just that Kohler couldn't answer the four mixed operations in the exam.

"Probably, this kid Kohler is in the third grade of elementary school..." Marin remembered that the four mixed operations seemed to be in the fourth grade.

The mathematics level of the third grade of elementary school seems to be enough for accounting...

Then, Kohler also honorably became one of Marin's squires. As for the smaller Kleiman, even the talent Marin will not want it for the time being. Because, he does not run a nursery and does not take children.

Then, Kahn was ordered to go to the city to find their father Zmailman. After all, when a son follows others to be a servant, a father should know.
