Chapter 4 Fried Beef Brisket with Potatoes

From the outside, it looks like a train's wheel, and it is round and there is a connecting rod connected to it. There will be a connecting rod between the train's wheels.

Go up quickly and check it carefully.

The castings have a delicate appearance and high precision, which shows signs of the first industrial revolution. At least it cannot be done by hand. There is some rust and dry moss on the surface of the castings.

Originally, according to his judgment, the civilization in the magical world should have been in the Middle Ages or earlier in Europe. Now it seems that the judgment is wrong. The civilization in this world has surpassed the technological level of the first industrial revolution.

"A special era where technology and magic coexist?"

The fat woman's voice came from behind at the right time.

"Half a month ago, a passerby brought it to exchange for something to eat. I don't know what it is. I saw that he was pitiful and he got the deal. Do you know what it is?"

"Train Structure Parts" Li Tong responded casually.

"Train component, what is that?" The fat woman showed an idiot-like look.

Li Tong fiddled with it for a few times and explained patiently.

"A means of transportation, called a train, is driven by electricity or steam, and this is its wheel structure, just like the wheels of a carriage."

The fat woman screamed excitedly.

"I knew Mr. Austin was the most knowledgeable man in Red Crow Town." He paused. "Although I still don't understand what you are talking about."

Li Tong rolled his eyes and thought to himself, "If you don't understand, you will ask..." However, he still felt very insightful about the woman's erudition of the word "learning".

The fat woman's words prove that this kind of thing is not a common phenomenon in this world. This forging is only available in modern civilization. This means that there are people from modern civilization like themselves. Perhaps if they find them, they can find other ways to go back. Even if they cannot go back, they can find someone who is sympathetic and complain about their unfortunate experiences.

"Is this thing sold?" he asked immediately.

"Of course, it's useless for me to keep it, just one rand." Ms. Yennyford stretched out a finger.

Li Tong searched in his pocket without hesitation. Several round objects were lying in his pocket, reaching out to take out a few round currencies, and simply handed them all over without knowing the currency system.

The fat woman glanced at her, shrugged, took a round silver coin and put it into the drawer, without forgetting to tease her.

"It seems that you are so forgetful that you can't even tell a single rand. Fortunately, I'm not a greedy guy." He pointed to the castings.

"It belongs to you now."

A silver coin is a rand. Since the other party does not doubt himself, then just ask the currency exchange system directly.

"Uh..., how much does it cost to have a long gold bar?"

"That's one shield, one shield is equal to one hundred rand, and one rand is equal to ten subbies."

After learning about the monetary system, I chose some bread. The bread was very hard and long, a bit like Daleba. I chose a bottle of butter, ten potatoes of good quality, a few green chili peppers, a small bottle of vegetable oil and a few pieces of red meat, which should be beef.

"How much?"

Yenny Yen signaled to reach out, Li Tong reached out to him, Yenny Yen took away two rands, then took out a few round coins from the cabinet and handed them back, and then picked up a larger potato and put them into the bag.

"Welcome to come again next time."

Turning around and going out, looking at the round currency made of brass in my hand, it should be Subi, putting it in my pocket.

The castings are very heavy and it is very difficult to pick them up.

At this time, the doors of some small wooden houses opened one after another.

After walking a few steps, Li Tong turned around and went back. Now the excuse of amnesia can allow him to inquire about a lot of information he wants to know without being suspected by others. He has to make good use of it. He sent someone to Lenzadeh last night, but he didn't know what happened.

Yenny Yen was picking out the rotten potatoes, seeing the figure at the door, he stopped his work.

"What did you forget?"

Li Tong touched his head awkwardly.

"Well, have you ever seen Rensade this morning... or left Rensade with some other stranger?"

Yenny Yen shook her head, looked in the direction where the Rensade cottage was, and squinted her eyes.

"You only know your companion. If he hadn't bought something a few times, I would have thought he had never left the house."

After a pause, she lowered her voice.

"By the way, there are three days left, the Black Iron Army will come, you have to reserve more supplies."

"Black Iron Army?" Li Tong asked subconsciously.

Yenny Yen shrugged.

"A group of robbers, robbing everywhere. We have to leave here before they come, and we will come back after they leave."

After saying that, he turned around and picked up two potatoes and handed them over.

"Anyway, they can't sell it before they come, so I'll give it to you."

Li Tong took two potatoes and put them into the bag, feeling puzzled.

"Is there no police station here? Or government agencies can deal with those robbers."

I remember that there should be government agencies in the Middle Ages, or at any time there will be some institutions that maintain public order or survival rules.

Yennifu was stunned for a long time, looking at the young man as if he had discovered a new world.

"What are you talking about? What kind of police station government agencies? It seems that you are not only forgetful, but also have a bit of a conjecture. Although I don't know what you are talking about, I'm sure we have to escape when the robbers come. Don't be stupid and fight against them. That will lead to a miserable death. You should go back and prepare."

After coming out of Yen Nifu's shop and standing on the street looking at the depressed town, Li Tong felt that life in the future might be quite difficult because there was no official regime to maintain order in Hongya Town.

...

I walked back and forth several times on the street, and at this time, several pedestrians finally appeared on the street, wrapped tightly.

Most people salute respectfully when they see themselves.

"Good morning, Mr. Austin."

I couldn't understand it at first, but later I saw a student in the classroom before I realized that people respect their teacher profession. As human soul engineers, this profession has its own speciality and will be respected in any era.

After a few rounds, I learned about the basic customs and culture here and returned to the door of my cottage. Looking back at the direction where the cottage in Lensade was, Li Tong comforted himself.

"Maybe the person who came last night had already taken Rensad away and went to the headquarters of the Order Church in the Shining Plain. The rest of the matter has nothing to do with him."

I pushed the door open and the room was quite warm. I picked up some firewood and put it in the stove.

I couldn't find a way to go back. I had to stay there for a long time, take out a small amount of bread, a potato, and a piece of beef, put the remaining ingredients into a little space freed in the lower left corner of the cabinet, and then simply cleaned it up and redistributed the space according to my own habits.

In fact, there was not much change, because the room was too small to make too much change.

The room looks much neat.

Next is cooking.

The Western cooking methods of this era are lacking. Compared with the tip-top civilization of China for thousands of years, these high-necked guys are simply eating raw food and drinking blood.

“The super chef is online.”

After doing the iconic action of a super chef, Li Tong was about to cook when a knock on the door rang out.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong"

He quickly returned to justice, opened the door and looked at the person who came outside, looking surprised. Could it be that Ronin Austin had arranged other reminders for the girl?

"Donina, is there anything?"

Donina looked back at the cabin not far away. Her eyes were swollen, she obviously cried, and her little face turned red from cold.

"Teacher, mom is crying, dad is very angry, I'm a little scared."

Li Tong immediately understood what was going on. It must be the girl's parents quarreling, and the girl had no place to go, otherwise she would not have come to her.

"Come in, little guy."

Wipe the girl's tears, let the girl sit at the desk, and start cooking.

Quickly wash the potatoes and beef left outside, then cut them into pieces, wash the crucible several times and place them on the stove, and use some other things instead.

In less than half an hour, the fried beef brisket was released.

Dishes that lack some condiments are certainly not as good as those of previous lives, but are more delicious than any of the dishes here.

I freed a small piece from the desk as a temporary dining table, rubbed my hands, took a deep breath of the fragrance, and my taste buds bloomed instantly.

He temporarily freed up the desk as a dining table, then put a knife and fork on the girl, and then made a pair of chopsticks with wooden sticks.

"I don't know if it's up to your taste, try it."

It seems that the dish of fried beef brisket with potatoes is very suitable for Donina's appetite. After eating nearly half of it, it is almost close to the adult's appetite. It is in a much better condition and the face returns to blood. After the meal, it gets up and wipes its mouth.

"Teacher, it's time for me to go back, mom will worry about me."

Li Tong was a little stunned for a moment, and when he looked at Dongnina, who seemed much more sensible than children of the same age, remembered a sentence.

"Premature children have an unfortunate family."

When the girl was sent to the door, Li Tong opened her lips slightly and wanted to say something, but in the end she decided to remain silent. As a teacher, she didn't seem to be qualified to interfere in other people's family affairs, although he really wanted to help Donina.

The short and thin back passed away in the snow. After sighing, he closed the door and calmed down.

Fill your stomach, pour a cup of hot water, add some firewood into the stove, sit at the desk, and then think about the important things.

The magic ritual cannot be unfolded in the absence of part of it, and from the current situation in the town, there is basically no possibility to find, so we can only start from another aspect.

First find the unlucky guy who travels here like you to keep warm!

The basis for judgment is of course the mechanical components bought by a rand.

Casting parts are train steel wheels and connecting rods. Even if these structural parts can be cast and forged in this era, the train power system must at least have the technological level of the steam civilization era, which cannot be achieved with the technological level of the medieval era.
