Chapter 738: Orc Sacrifice 38
In fact, no crop is useless, just to see if you can find her value, Jiang Chan thinks that he still has a pair of discerning eyes.
Today's Tess, Snow and others are familiar with how to cook fish, and with so many people's meals, Aunt Jasmine alone will definitely not be able to keep busy.
Everyone set up a grill in the garden of the Lord's Palace, and here they grilled fish, and Aunt Jasmine was making fish soup and pasting cakes in the kitchen. As for the crops here are wheat, barley and oats, most people eat their own black bread.
Ginger Cicada had seen this kind of black bread in Fiona's memory, it was very rough in texture and mixed with a lot of bran. In modern times, no one would eat at all.
But here, this is already very good food, which shows how poor and backward the orc empire is. In addition to black bread, white bread was needed to supply the upper nobility or pay taxes.
The fish soup was made by Jiang Chan under the guidance of Jiang Chan, and she wanted to do it, but unfortunately she was stopped, so she could only stand next to her and talk about good dishes. Now this lord's mansion wants nothing and nothing, except for basic oil and salt, it is nothing.
This also makes Jiang Chan's cooking skills useless, and he has to look around in the territory to make sure that the kitchen is fully equipped.
Now it seems that there are many things going on, and the kitchen must be expanded, and Aunt Molly alone must not be able to keep it busy. There is another person to recruit in the lord's mansion, what use can old Dick have?
Besides, with such an old housekeeper, Jiang Chan is embarrassed to arrange for him to do things.
Now that it's spring, the night is not very cool, everyone around the bonfire to eat grilled fish, each hand a cake, and a bowl of fish soup, that is called a cozy.
"Tomorrow I'll take Tess and the other two Fawkes around the Lord's Mansion, and Snow you go and complete the task I gave you. Looking at the fire in front of him, Jiang Chan began to assign tasks: "Old Dick is mainly to recruit two little maids, and there is no restriction on race. ”
"In addition, find someone to clean up the lord's mansion well, pull out all the weeds in the garden, don't plant anything at the moment, if you don't have enough gold, look for Tys. ”
Tess is in charge of Jiang Cicada's money bag, except for Jiang Chan who has some prepared for emergencies, the rest is all in Tess, she is also very relieved about Tyce, she has never heard of loyal dogs.
"My lord, I also want two helpers, I can't do it alone. "Aunt Molly raised her hand, the meal she made tonight was fine, with the help of the Fawkes, she will do it herself from tomorrow onwards, she will definitely not be busy.
"In the future, a large canteen will be built again, and everyone will go there to eat in the future, and Aunt Molly will be responsible for the food in the lord's mansion. Before the big canteen was built, everyone ate here. Old Dick, recruit two assistants for Aunt Molly, and ask Aunt Molly for details. ”
Old Dick pricked up his ears and wrote down all the requirements of the ginger cicada.
"As for the salary, let's follow your previous coming, how many silver coins a month before?"
Old Dick cleared his throat: "The cook's words are twelve silver coins a month, and the maid ten silver coins a month." ”
"Then according to this standard, everyone has no objection, right?"
"No, no, it's too late for everyone to be happy to be able to serve the priest. ”
"This is everyone's task, so let's talk about the specialties of Filin County. ”
"What's the specialty?"
"The specialty is the main crop grown in Fillinshire. Jiang Chan raised his eyes: "Old Dirk, tell me, what crops are grown in Feilin County, and is there any difference between them and the crops of the Xuan Clan?"
"The Xuan people generally grow barley, wheat and soybeans. Vanno spoke at the right time, he was a careful man, and he could be said to be the smartest of them all.
"These are also grown in Fellingshire, but you also grow a type of sugar beet. Old Dick scratched his head: "The root of this beet is so sweet that everyone likes to use it to make soups." ”
"Beets?" Jiang Chan's eyebrows raised, was that the beet she was thinking?
"Do you have any beets? Bring them to me and show them?"
"There was in the kitchen, I just saw. Aunt Molly ran to the kitchen and soon brought a piece of red rhizome. Jiang Chan broke a small piece, tasted it and said, "Is there a lot of sugar beet planted in Filin County?"
"Everybody grows it, and sugar beets are going up very well here. Old Dick lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly.
"Very well, tomorrow Snow you will also pay attention when you go out, and see if the sugar beet is planted, if it is planted a lot, it can become another pillar industry in Fillinshire, like the ash tree. ”
"My lord, this beet can only be used to make soup, and nothing else is delicious. Old Dick snorted, but told the truth.
Jiang Chan smiled: "In your opinion, beets seem to be useless, but in my eyes, they are a steady stream of gold coins." It's an important raw material for sugar production, and with sugar beets, is sugar still far away?"
Tess swallowed, "Miss, can this beet really make sugar? I've never heard of it before." ”
Jiang Chan smiled: "That's because they don't know, the human race basically uses sugarcane to make sugar, but sugar beets can be used to make sugar, and you will understand when I make it myself in the future, the top priority is to find out the yield of sugar beets first." In addition, taking advantage of the good weather now, encourage everyone to plant more sugar beets, and when it is ripe, the lord's mansion will collect as much as it wants, and we will not be short of money. ”
"It's best to post an official letter on this matter outside the lord's mansion, so that everyone knows it. ”
"I'll leave this matter to Theis to do, okay, I'm tired all the way, everyone has worked hard, let's go rest first, and I'll talk about it tomorrow if there's anything to do." ”
Jiang Chan yawned: "When our own candles are made, we must make the lord's mansion bright, and the province is now like this." ”
Old Dick said: "My lord, we are still too poor here, and we can't afford something as expensive as candles." But with adults here, there will definitely be a big change in Filin County!"
At the end, Old Dick spoke in an agitated tone, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
"Let's all disperse, gather early tomorrow morning. Time waits for no one, we must take advantage of today's spring ploughing and implement these things as soon as possible. ”
There are still many things Jiang Cicada wants to ask, but she has pressed them all down, and she will find out when she looks around tomorrow. No matter how much she asks, it's not as good as seeing it with her own eyes, and she wants to make an overall survey of the overall strength of Filin County.
