King of Mercenaries

Chapter 5: Staying in the hotel to take a shower

After 1100 Finney got to his hand, Marin immediately went to a hotel. In the past two days, he has not slept in bed and feels very uncomfortable.

However, the price of a hotel in Bonn is quite high, and a single room has 10 Finneys per night. Sitting in a small hotel in the town, one or two Finneys a night is enough.

However, people are worth the money. At least, the hotel in the town, dirty to die. There are no mandatory health requirements in this year. The average cheap hotel, which is very messy and tastes great. Even the quilt inside is a smell (this is the memory left by the former Marlin Hoffman living in a country hotel). And this house in the city of Bonn, although the health can not compare with the hotels of the next generation, but at least there is no strange smell inside. It seems that the owner is still very concerned about cleaning.

After handing the horse to the stable in the backyard, Marin asked the hotel owner for a large oak barrel and a few pots of hot water - obviously, Marin wanted to take a shower...

Although it is early spring, you can take a shower every few days. But what Marin fears is that the former Marin was a devout Catholic. Under the propaganda of some of the idiots, many believe that bathing can cause illness. As a result, many Catholics do not take a bath for many years. For example, the famous Sun King Louis XIV, in the 72 years of reign, actually only washed 7 times. Then, his lover, even in the bed was stunned by the strange smell on his body...

Ok, the above is the spit on the Sun King. In this age, people who are in high positions, especially the king, the duke, are most afraid of death. And some bishops preached that if they would take a shower and people would easily get sick and die. Therefore, people who are generally afraid of death will not take a bath. And the family of knights like the Hoffman family, are ready to die, they are not so afraid of death. But because of religious beliefs, people in the Hoffman family can't wash a few times a year. According to the memory of the predecessor, the Hoffman family generally bathes more in summer and autumn. Because, during the summer training for the Cavaliers, there are too much sweats. In the autumn harvest season, there are many rye and smoky harvests (the Hoffman family is going to the field to participate in the autumn harvest), and they also need to take a bath. As for other seasons, the climate in Europe is cool. Therefore, people in the Hoffman family have fewer baths in the rest of the season.

"My God, I couldn't feel myself stinking these two days!" Marlin was shocked...

In fact, it is not surprising that Marin's two days have been busy thinking about how to live, how can he consider hygienic problems? Moreover, it is difficult for ordinary people to find the strange smell of their own body. Unless, I am really stinking...

With the urge to vomit, Marin came to the big oak barrels and hot water sent by the hotel buddy. Then, Marlin began to take a bath in the room...

This hotel was opened by Jews. Jews do not believe in Catholicism, and many of them travel between Europe and the Middle East. The Middle East, especially the Turkish region, is very popular for bathing, and the Turkish bath is very famous. Therefore, Jewish hotels are generally cleaner than local hotels, and also supply hot water for people to take a shower. Of course, the treacherous Jews are also more expensive in terms of fees.

Into the big oak barrel, because there is no soap (in fact, Europe is soapy in this era, but it is more expensive to sell, 10 pieces of Finney, generally only aristocrats and rich people can afford it.), Marin had to use Rub your own hands with your hands to remove dirt. I know how to wipe it with one hand and get the dirt of one hand...

Young people have a strong metabolism, plus three months without taking a bath, the natural dirt is very thick and thick, with a layer of skin. Fortunately, Marin took a shower in time to make himself feel refreshed and feel that his weight has been reduced by a few pounds...

But after showering,

Marin found another trouble - he didn't have clean clothes to change...

However, it is no wonder that the medieval Europeans were awkward, and the original owner of the body was just a 16-year-old boy. Where is the self-care ability? Therefore, in the clothes package, there are only a few dirty clothes to change clothes...

In desperation, Marin put on one of the cleanest. Then, walk out of the hotel, under the guidance of the hotel owner, come to a tailor shop...

Obviously, Marin is going to buy clothes. The price of ready-to-wear is also a shock to Marin - a set of ordinary clothes made of linen, even asking for 15 Finney, the more expensive cloth, 30 Finney or more. You must know that in this year, the average person works, and the daily wages are only 2 Finney. Craftsmen work, only three Finneys a day. Fifteen Finneys are almost equivalent to a 7-and-a-half-year salary for a strong man.

Fortunately, Marin had made a huge red deer before, and changed enough money. Otherwise, he can't afford a suit. Marlin, who originally planned to buy more sets of clothes for washing, only bought two sets of linen and brought them back.

After returning to the hotel, the original set of dirty items in the bag, and some old clothes, Marin was originally intended to throw away. But now, Marin silently picked up the tub and went to the well to wash the clothes...

At dinner, Marin spent six Finneys, asked for a piece of dark bread, and a roast goose, and ate a big meal. However, European cooking talent is too bad, a good roast goose, it is no taste, only salty taste...

It is no wonder that this year, the Big Voyage has just begun, Europeans have not yet occupied the Southeast Asian spice production. Therefore, the price of spices in Europe is comparable to gold and is rare. Generally, only the aristocrats and the rich will eat ginger, aniseed, cinnamon, nutmeg and other spices when they eat meat. Ordinary people, it is good to put some salt. It is said that on the Russian side of the Orthodox Church, the highest etiquette for entertaining guests is to serve white bread made of wheat and salt...

Eating a roast goose without any taste, Marin began to open his brain again - if he relied on his Chinese cooking skills, in the European market of this era, it would not be profitable.

But not long after, he woke up again. This era is not the era of the rule of law. Yes, he uses the cooking skills of Chinese food. Although it can make the business boom in a short period of time, the Europeans can swallow their tongues. However, the secret recipe of cooking is bound to be found and it is difficult to protect themselves.

The reason is very simple, the age of the nobility in the Middle Ages. In this era, the nobility eats everything, and the civilian life is like a mustard. If you master the recipe of cooking, you have no status. Then, if you are a nobleman, you dare to send someone to arrest you, and then torture you to get the "secret recipe". Then, in order to monopolize the market, this nobleman may limit his concurrent freedom, and may kill him...

"In the end, if you want to mix in the Middle Ages, you still have to have an aristocratic identity!" Marin sighed, stuffing the roast goose in his dish into his mouth, and then went back to the room with a belly full to rest.
