Ad aspera

— Good day. — he greeted the tavern keeper. — I'd like something to drink and eat, of course. And I also need to know the prices for lodging.

-- Uh-huh, -- Ruven was offered some kind of paper with writing on it, but, faced with a wall of incomprehension, the tavern keeper nodded understandingly and began to list monotonously: light beer -- three coppers, dark beer -- five coppers, strong ale also five, mead -- seven coppers, Fendrin red wine -- one silver and five coppers, Divef red or white wine -- two silvers, Turan red elite wine -- seven silvers. That's for drinking. Green soup -- three coppers, beef soup -- five coppers, roasted chicken -- five coppers, game -- one silver and five coppers, pies with offal and herbs -- four coppers each. If you're with friends, you can slaughter a pig and make a lot of other things. Lodging is four silvers per day, or 20 silvers for a week.
