Chapter 0023: The Convoy That Has Arrived
Farmers on the dairy farm were summoned by Li Si to reclaim the wasteland around the castle and cultivate alfalfa grass.
Originally, Galtai meant that the serfs, as lords, had to come and work unconditionally.
Liszt was not so exploitative, and decided to take care of the peasants' three meals a day, and the common people generally had two meals a day, so they rushed to work.
He took out a little of the surplus wheat bran in the castle and distributed it to the farmers who were working. Wheat bran is the skin of wheat, in his place, only ** fine wheat flour, wheat bran is basically used to feed horses, but civilians are used to eat. The wheat bran cake he used to feed his horses was the food that many peasant families ate.
"In other words, the nutritional value of wheat bran is higher than that of wheat flour. Liszt remembers buying wheat bran cake in his previous life, and the seller claimed that wheat bran is rich in dietary fiber and vitamin B, which can improve constipation and lower cholesterol, "but wheat bran is really unpalatable and difficult to digest." ”
As a nobleman, he did not lack that bit of nutrition, so there was no need to force himself to eat coarse wheat bran.
The aristocracy naturally ate white bread.
Here, bread is the absolute staple food, which can be divided into nine grades according to different ingredients and textures. Four grades of white bread and five grades of black bread.
The finest white bread is made from fine wheat flour that has been sifted and selected in layers, and only the great nobles have the financial and material resources to make this white bread. The price of this white bread is also prohibitively expensive, at least several silver coins per piece.
The second-class white bread is made from sifted fine wheat flour, which has a very delicate taste because the coarse grains are sifted away. Usually a piece has to be sold for one silver coin.
Again, the first-class white bread is made of fine wheat flour that has not been sifted, and the taste is slightly worse, and a silver coin can buy two or three pieces.
The inferior white bread is made of coarse wheat flour, which is simply processed flour, and the taste is even worse, and you can buy one out of ten copper plates. The white bread that Liszt is currently eating is this grade of white bread, and the white bread eaten in Tulip Castle is the white bread of the above grade.
Civilians eat brown bread.
Only the wealthy freemen could afford to eat a few copper plates of "whole wheat bread without bran"; ordinary freemen could probably afford to eat a copper plate of "whole wheat bread without bran"; and serfs ate mostly wheat flour without bran and other flours to make "mixed black bread", which could buy four large pieces of copper bread.
The poorer serfs either ate "grain brown bread" made from flour from peas and other grains, or wheat bran cakes made entirely from bran.
In addition, Liszt also knew of a type of brown bread, which was very commonly made by the common people.
This brown bread, when fermented, becomes very, very hard, and civilians cut it into slices and use it as a plate or as a base for table legs.
It is said that there is a plate of brown bread that can be used for several months.
"Evil feudal society. Liszt pretended to sigh with emotion, retracting his thoughts, and had no intention of breaking the aristocracy. The ass determines the head, as a nobleman, you can enjoy the status given by the times, and you will not pull yourself off the aristocratic chair.
Besides, it's hard to break, no dragons and no elves, what to break.
"Master, do you need to bring the fire dragon horse here?" asked Thomas, cautiously asking, he had always been so cautious in front of Liszt.
"No, I don't. By the way, Thomas, how is the Lilong horse in the stable, has he lost his temper?"
"Sir, your newly subdued big guy has been bullying the dragon horse last night, but this morning, the dragon horse can already graze next to it. ”
Li Si nodded, not surprised.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, unless there is a male and a female.
The Lilong Horse is a stallion, and the Fire Dragon Horse is a mare, and it is a matter of course to deal with peace. Moreover, it is very likely that the descendants of the first batch of Lilong Horses will be produced by Fire Dragon Horses - Liszt does not object, Fire Dragon Horses are also excellent breeds, mixed with the blood of low-level Warcraft Fire Lamingo, and strong combinations can produce better offspring.
No more attention.
Liszt began to practice moves from Flame Wave.
Ordinary earth knights, until they are proficient in the most suitable Douqi cheats, will not practice the next cheats. Liszt has a good understanding, and he is still familiar with "Fire Dragon Diamond", and he can also study "Flame Wave" at the same time. Unlike the heads-up "Dragon Diamond", "Flame Wave" focuses on group battles.
The moves are often swords, sweeping a large area, and picking a large group of guns.
Unconsciously, he was already immersed in cultivation, and the fire attribute fighting qi was constantly released, scorching the air around him. The power is unknown, at least the scene is vigorous.
"Great Wave of Fire!"
A sword slashed, and flames shot again.
He saw Carter, the butler, and walked quickly towards him.
I couldn't help but put away my vindictiveness and asked, "Mr. Carter, what's the matter?"
"Sir, just now Jesse came back from mowing the horse grass outside, and said that he saw the caravan. I suspect that perhaps the Earl and the Baron's party came. ”
Liszt perked up: "Is it finally here, please notify the two teachers to come over, come with me to meet the convoy, I will go to take a shower and change clothes first." ”
Hurry upstairs to take a shower.
In a few moments, Marcus and Galtai had arrived.
The castle is located on a dirt slope, and the view is relatively good, and you can already see the direction of Thorn Ridge in the distance, and the slow convoy is driving here.
"Mr. Galtai, remember to remind me to put the patrol in order. When the convoy arrived, no one prompted me, and I didn't know until my servants found out. ”
"The patrols are bastards, you need to lend me the knights and train them. ”
"No problem. Liszt turned over and did not ride the fire dragon horse, but rode his newly accepted dragon horse and showed himself, "Come with me to meet the convoy, my father should not come over in person, and the one who follows the tulip elf may be my brother." ”
The three of them drove their horses to meet them.
Carter busily greeted all the servants: "Cheer up, remember to tidy up your clothes, don't look dirty and lose your lord's face!" Jesse, it's you, oh my God, you've got mud on your pants, are you going to make all of us look up, go back and change it!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Carter. Jesse Taomishui, the assistant to the manservant and with flaxen hair, hurried back to his room to change his pants.
Carter shouted again, "Mrs. Mawson, tell Mrs. Abbey to prepare desserts, tea, and snacks, and remember to prepare the ingredients, according to the sumptuous banquet, and there will be people who need to be entertained by the lord himself." ”
"Are you saying there will be nobles coming?"
"Of course there will be, you know, the black tulips are very important, the elves of the family are going to assimilate, maybe it is Young Master Levi escort, maybe it is Young Master Litton, anyway, they are all important people. We can't disgrace the lord, and Thomas's peers. ”
Thomas's peers, that is, the valets of various nobles.
After some busyness, soon, at the gate of the castle, the male and female servants, led by the butler Carter, stood on both sides of the gate on the left and on the right, waiting for the distinguished guests to arrive.
