The Duke''s sudden change of mouth stunned pace, and the smile on his face was like freezing.


    Eugenie, who was originally dissatisfied, immediately smiled and supported her chin at him, with a proud face.


    "You''re changing too fast," pace whispered.


    Hearing his son''s murmur, the Duke immediately glared and said discontentedly, "why, what questions do you have!"


    "No."


    "If you want to bet, you have to admit defeat. Now I''m the referee." after a lesson, Duke kewilt looked back at Eugenie and asked curiously with a smile, "tell me, what did you bet and the laughter just now? What were you talking about?"


    Let her father straighten up. Eugenie continued to pinch her shoulder for him and said, "talk about the story of a monkey, a pig, a water demon, a white horse and a monk."


    "Pig, white horse... And water demon and monk?" turned his head and the Duke looked puzzled.


    "Sit down." Eugenie smiled as she straightened her father''s body. "To be exact, it''s the story of their trip together. Pace heard it from the count of Lingfeng castle. It''s very interesting!"


    "Oh, that tustra boy can also make up stories!" the Duke smiled in surprise. "Tell me. It can make my Eugenie feel interesting. The story must be good. My ears are numb when I listen to the cries of civilians every day. I also listen to the story today."


    "This is a fairy tale. A long time ago, the world was divided into four continents, namely Dongsheng Shenzhou..."


    As she pinched her shoulders, Eugenie spoke slowly.


    I have to say that Eugenie''s storytelling level is much better than pace. She doesn''t speak in a hurry, and the rhythm is fast and orderly. If she stands on the stage and reads an ancient book, or narrates ancient legends by the fire, three or two sentences will be fascinating.


    Pace stood quietly aside. He wanted to interrupt Eugene. This was not the time to tell a story. He was anxious to ask about the reclamation of the farm.


    Fortunately, Eugenie didn''t want to finish the whole story. She just said that the monkey came to a fairy mountain. When she saw the fairy, she patted the Duke''s shoulders and ended the massage service.


    "Finished?" the Duke asked, "aren''t there pig demons, water demons, white horses and monks?"


    "The story is long. My hands are sore and I won''t tell it!"


    "Oh... This story is quite interesting," said the Duke with a little regret, and then took Eugenie and asked her to be her own again.


    "Well, now tell me what you bet before?"


    "Nothing, just let my brother take me to the forest to hunt, and then be my cook again." Eugenie glanced proudly at pace standing aside.


    "Cook?" the Duke frowned slightly. "Is there any special reason?"


    "I didn''t bully him," Eugenie explained. "He kept boasting to me about how delicious the food from the river was. He also said that the count of Lingfeng Castle invited him to eat a kind of food called" flower chicken ", which was the best chicken he had ever eaten."


    "Call a flower chicken?"


    "Well!" Eugenie nodded, "it means that the chicken eaten by beggars or refugees is wrapped in soil and buried in a pit on the ground and roasted."


    "Beggars or vagrants." the Duke frowned at pace. "This is what the tustras treat you to?"


    Pace said hurriedly, "it''s just a way to cook food. Although the name is a little strange... Maybe... Lord Arthur hopes that in the future, the refugees and beggars can also eat chicken."


    Pace didn''t ask Arthur about the source of the name of the flower chicken, so he had to make it up by himself.


    "Certainly not!" Eugenie retorted at once, looking at the Duke. "You don''t know. Pace said that there is another kind of delicious food in Shanghe Town, which is called husband and wife lung tablets. It''s terrible to think about it!"


    "Didn''t I tell you? It''s because the person who invented this food is a couple. Everyone has such a name."


    With her chin raised, Eugenie said incredulously, "unless you cook it for me!"


    "I said, I can''t cook. It''s troublesome. I need a lot of spices or spices." pace looked helpless.


    He originally came to discuss land reclamation, but now he has become a discussion of food and dishes. He regretted not taking it. He knew he wouldn''t tell Eugenie these things.


    "It''s a piece of cake," said the Duke spoiled. "I''ll ask the bachelor to send another letter to Lingfeng castle and ask him to send some more cooks."


    Hearing the speech, Eugenie nodded happily and introduced tofu to the Duke.


    "Father." seeing the more they talked, pace had to interrupt.


    After secretly scolding Eugenie''s traitor in his heart, he asked expectantly and nervously, "have you discussed with master bo''an about the reclamation of the farm?"


    "Yes, father, do you have a plan?" then Eugenie seemed to think of business.


    "It''s just a small matter," said the Duke casually. "Now we have more important things to deal with. We don''t have to worry about reclamation until the boy''s people arrive."


    "This... How can this be a small thing!" pace raised his voice. "If you plant more food earlier, you can reduce some people''s hunger. Nothing is more important than this!"


    Pace''s words aroused the Duke''s dissatisfaction: "are people starving in the farm now?"


    "They can only eat hard to swallow black bread!" pace said. "And those refugees and slaves. If we had more food, no one in the territory would starve to death!"


    "Fool!"


    The Duke immediately cursed, and the good mood of the previous moment was swept away.


    Staring at the firm pace on his face, an uncontrollable agitation rose in his heart. In the past, he was strict with the little son in the hope that he would become a loyal and determined knight. Now, he has more expectations, but pace''s performance bothers him!


    Patiently, he meditated in his heart and began to teach: "Why were you stripped of your golden robe? Why did you leave the king''s capital alive? What made you a mercenary? Has the experience of these years only taught you kindness? Like an ignorant peasant woman!"


    "What does this have to do with food?" pace asked.


    "It has something to do with the stupid ideas in your head!"


    "Aren''t they the people under your rule? They regard you as a lord!"


    "People?" the duke said sarcastically, "who do you think they are, free people? When does the Lord need to worry about filling the stomachs of refugees and slaves! If serfs find it difficult to swallow bread, they can throw it on the ground. I didn''t let them starve like refugees! You should understand that as a lord, what is the responsibility!"


    Pace was stunned, stunned by his father''s love, staring at him with a confused and strange look.


    Just as he was about to speak, Eugenie on the side hurriedly took the lead and said, "father, didn''t you just discuss reclamation with master Boan?"


    She knew that if they were allowed to argue, it would turn into an unhappy quarrel.


    Taking back his tired eyes from his son, the Duke shook his head slightly and said, "it''s just a small matter."


    Then he paused for a moment and looked back at pace in front of him: "a month later, sir Selin will escort Jenny farit to our windbreak castle, but your brother is still childish like a child..."
