Chapter 120
Princess Feifei's honor guard temporarily stayed in Bailu Town.
The cavalry guards surrounded the golden carriage and came to the manor north of Bailu Town.
The cavalry guards of several hundred people surrounded Cheng Yu's manor.
The leader of the cavalry guards was a tall and handsome young man, holding a sword, holding his head high, standing straight, standing still at the door of the manor, as if performing some kind of sacred ceremony.
Cheng Yu walked over and asked the leader of the cavalry guards, "Brother, can you retreat further?"
These guys surrounded the manor, making it inconvenient to enter and exit the manor.
"It is my honor as a knight to protect Her Royal Highness the Princess." The leader of the cavalry guards said proudly.
"What are you doing here as a security captain? You are getting a salary of 5,000 yuan and doing a job worth 10,000 yuan. Isn't it tiring?" Cheng Yu complained.
"Our family has been knights for generations, and knights should protect the princess all the time and win the princess's favor and trust." The leader of the cavalry guard said confidently.
"Princesses all marry princes, and the security captain should have the awareness of a security captain. Don't fantasize about marrying a rich and beautiful woman one day and reaching the peak of life."
"But I have a good relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess. Once, Her Royal Highness the Princess praised me for my handsomeness."
"Maybe they are just talking casually. Have you ever seen a princess marry a cavalry captain?" Cheng Yu said casually.
"You...you...ah...damn..."
The leader of the cavalry guard didn't know how to refute Cheng Yu, because his family had been knights protecting princesses for generations, and no one had ever married a princess.
Lies don't hurt people, the truth is the sharpest knife.
Cheng Yu's words were like a knife, piercing the heart of the leader of the cavalry guard and breaking his defense.
"Move your cavalry guards away, don't surround my manor like an iron barrel."
"Okay."
The leader of the cavalry guards was like a deflated ball, with a lost look in his eyes, and ordered his soldiers to move away.
Entering the manor.
Maxi took out the king's lord's commission, plus a medal of nobility.
"Cheng Yu, I will confer the medal on you on behalf of my father. From now on, you are a baron, the lowest nobility in the Black Sun Empire."
Maxi put the medal of nobility on Cheng Yu's chest.
"Where is my fiefdom?"
Cheng Yu didn't care about the title, but was more concerned about the fiefdom.
Maxi opened the commission.
The lord's commission is actually a book, with the "Lord's Declaration" in the front. The content is mainly the lord's program. The lord must have noble character, sympathize with his people, and seek the welfare of his people. If the lord practices tyranny in the territory, the Black Sun Empire has the right to take back the territory.
The last page is attached with a map of the Black Sun Empire, and the red part is Cheng Yu's territory.
Cheng Yu looked at his territory, which is located to the east of the Black Sun Empire, adjacent to the sea.
The text description next to it says that the territory covers an area of 522 square kilometers, with a permanent population of 1,200 people. There is a main city in the territory - Dark Night City.
This territory is not only small in area, but also pitifully small in population.
You know, the permanent population of Bailu Town is over 10,000.
"This territory is a little small, but it's close to the sea and you can fish, which seems to be good." Cheng Yu comforted himself.
"No, the sea outside Dark Night City is a forbidden area for the death of gods. The sea water is polluted by the remaining resentment of the gods, and the fish have become monsters."
In the ancient war of gods, many gods fell, and many forbidden areas for the death of gods are distributed on the Celsis continent.
The reason why the forbidden area for the death of gods is called a forbidden area is because it is very dangerous for humans.
"If you can't fish, how about farming?"
"The seashore is all saline-alkali land, it's hard to grow fruits and vegetables."
"This is too uncomfortable."
You can neither farm nor fish in the territory, and there are monsters everywhere. It's a disaster.
"If you go to Dark Night City to become the lord, be mentally prepared in advance."
"Okay, I'll go over there when I have time."
Cheng Yu plans to see if Dark Night City has development value first. If it has value, he will invest in development. If it doesn't have value, he will stay in Bailu Town.
Dogs don't go to poor and backward places.
"What do you want to eat?"
Cheng Yu asked Sophia and Maxi.
"As long as you make it, anything is fine."
Maxi smiled innocently, knowing that Cheng Yu's food is delicious.
"This princess wants the tiramisu cake from last time, the more the better."
Sophia tasted the tiramisu cake last time, and she couldn't forget the taste of this cake.
Finally, she can taste it again.
"Ten gold coins per person, a total of twenty gold coins for the two of you." Cheng Yu said.
This price was not expensive for Maxi, and he casually took out twenty gold coins from his magic storage bag and gave them to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu took Mina to the kitchen to cook.The game we caught in the wild last time was finished, and there was still some frozen beef left in the ice cellar.
Mina went to the ice cellar behind the manor to get beef and made a beef feast for Maxi and Princess Fifi.
Braised beef brisket, beef stewed with tomatoes, pan-fried beef, spiced beef cubes...
Cheng Yu was making spiced beef cubes in the kitchen.
First blanch the large pieces of beef, put them in a pot with cold water and boil them over high heat until the water boils, then rinse them with cold water.
Then, cut the half-cooked beef into beef cubes.
Then pour the beef cubes, shallots, ginger, garlic, millet pepper, Sichuan pepper, cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil and other seasonings in appropriate proportions into the wok and stir-fry over high heat until no more juice is produced.
Put tin foil in the iron plate, spray a little oil on it to prevent sticking, spread the fried beef cubes evenly on the baking tray, sprinkle cumin, make a cover with tin foil, and put it in the oven for closed baking for 30 minutes.
The soldiers of the cavalry guard regiment around the manor smelled the aroma of fried beef cubes and kept swallowing their saliva.
"Oh my God! What is that? It smells so good."
"I'm hungry, I want to eat beef!"
"It's over, my nose is out of control."
...
The soldiers closed their eyes and greedily inhaled the meaty aroma in the air with their noses. Every time they inhaled, they showed a happy and enjoyable expression, and they were almost inhaling.
"Brother Wang, it smells so good, much better than the food made by the chefs in the palace." Sophia couldn't help but admire.
"Brother Cheng Yu's cooking skills are unique. Any ingredients in his hands can become the best delicacy."
Maxi highly praised Cheng Yu's food.
Cheng Yu stood in front of the kitchen oven, waiting for the beef cubes to dry.
Meiweier ran to Cheng Yu and pulled the corner of Cheng Yu's clothes, "Human, what are you roasting? It smells so good, I want to eat it."
"I made it for the guests, you can't eat it."
When the beef cubes were fried just now, Mina asked for some, but Cheng Yu didn't give them to her.
"I'll just eat one."
"Not even one, I'll make it for you in the evening."
"Okay,"
Meiweier let go of Cheng Yu and waited for the evening to come.
When the five-spice beef cubes were roasted, Cheng Yu uncovered the tin foil, sprinkled white sesame seeds on the golden beef cubes as decoration, and asked Mina to bring them out to Maxi and the others.
