Chapter 0019: The Long Taro Family of Red Crab Island
The milk produced by the dairy farm is a rare luxury in Flower Town, and the milk from the original dairy farm was used to produce milk powder, which was given to the Earl of Coral Island as a tax once every three months.
After Liszt came, every day the milk would be delivered to the castle.
A total of ten cows.
Three of the young cows, which are less than two years old, have not yet started to produce milk, two old cows are no longer able to produce milk, one male cow is not able to produce milk, and only four adult cows are able to produce some milk per day. I don't know if it's a cow breed that doesn't work, and the food is not good enough, and the milk production is very low.
"Dahua can express 20 kg of fresh milk three times a day during the peak milk production period, Xiaohua can only express 4 kg a day during the evaporated milk period, Dahei is also in the evaporated milk period, 5 kg a day, and Rhubarb is currently in the weaning period. "The old man in charge is not very old, but he is hunched over and looks very old.
Liszt approached a cow, which was very docile and slowly grazing.
"Do you want to keep cows that can't produce milk?"
"Zhuangzhuang needs to ensure that all cows are conceived, and they must be raised. Milk flowers, milk black, and custard are still small, and they can only conceive and produce milk next year. Lao Hua and Lao Hei are already old, and we have already reported it to the lord, and they can come to kill cattle and get meat at any time. The old man in charge said respectfully.
Milk flower, milk black, custard, is the name of a juvenile cow.
Little Flower, Little Black, is the name of a cow that has just come of age.
Big flower, big black, and big rhubarb are the names of cows in their prime.
Presbyopia, old black, is the name of the cow for the elderly.
Zhuang Zhuang is the name of the male cow.
Liszt remembered that a while ago, Carter, the housekeeper, had mentioned to him that there were two old cows on the dairy farm, which could be killed and eaten at any time. Cows that can't produce milk are raised for one more day to waste one more day of food, and are generally slaughtered immediately – it's ruthless to say, cows produce milk for a lifetime, and when they are old, they have to contribute their own meat.
For the time being, the castle did not hold a large banquet, and the meat brought was enough, so the two old cows continued to be raised on the dairy farm.
"Is there enough grass on the farm now for the cows?"
"Enough, my lord, we only have ten cows, but we have 150 acres of meadow. ”
"Old steward, how many acres of grassland do you think is enough for ten cows to graze?"
"Back to my lord, a cow needs ten acres of grass to feed, but we often take cows outside to graze in the fields, so only eight acres of grass is enough to feed. ”
"Eight acres of a cow, ten needs eighty acres, then, Mr. Galtai, let's first eradicate seventy acres of two-leaf clover and plant alfalfa. ”
"No problem, wrap it up on me. Galtai patted his chest and reassured.
On the census project, Liszt's resolute and resolute attitude gave Galtai a sense of crisis, and his work attitude was finally quite correct. He had already seen that Liszt was not the kind of pompous and hedonistic aristocrat, but a down-to-earth aristocrat, and in order to gain power, he had to change his style.
......
Hey Shake Sen.
Inspection of peanut insects.
Two days passed, and the third day was a rainy day.
Spring is thick, summer has not yet arrived, rain is as expensive as oil, and agricultural production in various tuns is busy advancing. The seeds of alfalfa grass have been sown, and corn fields have been carved out of the field and are ready to be planted. The Thorn Forest is not yet visible, and it is necessary to wait for Marcus to come back and go to Thorn Ridge to find it.
Day 4.
After having lunch in the castle, the butler Carter hurriedly walked into the study: "Sir, Mr. Marcus is back and is waiting for your summons outside the castle. ”
"Invite him in. ”
"Lord Baron, Marcus greets you!" "Marcus, who was in the dust, brought two intermediate fighting spirit cheats that Liszt was looking forward to.
One is "Flame Wave", which Liszt is familiar with, and the other is "Dragon Diamond", which is obtained from Tulip Castle.
After accepting the two books, Liszt turned to ask, "Mr. Marcus, how did they reply to my letter to the earl and baron?"
"Here are the reply from the Earl and the Baron, and the ten Naldars for the sale of the fur of the Terrach Dogs. ”
"Mr. Marcus, please take a seat, and I'll read the letter first. ”
The first thing to open was the reply letter from the Earl of Coral Island, which was very little because there were not many words written on the thick paper. William Lee replied to Liszt that he was going to send someone to complete the assimilation of the black tulip in the near future, and also to discuss how to sell the black tulip.
And promised to buy a batch of scarce materials for Liszt as a deposit for the transaction.
The other is a reply from the Baron of Falcon Town, in which Li Weiwei replies to Liszt, congratulating him on the discovery of a new variety of tulips, and that she will come with the Count in exchange for supplies in exchange for assimilation qualifications.
It's all official, polite replies.
There was not much family affection, and after the death of Liszt's mother, the first Countess, the relationship between the three siblings, who lacked maternal love, gradually weakened. The Earl, on the other hand, turned from hope to disappointment because of Liszt's appearance, and the relationship became even weaker.
"But it's okay, I can accept this kind of weak emotion better. You and I can't stand it. After reading the letter, Liszt felt a little emotion in his heart.
Put down the letter.
Lister Winen said: "Fortunately, Mr. Marcus, do you have any new insights from this trip?"
"Coral Island is calm as usual, and there is no war in the Grand Duchy, but there is one thing, I don't know if it is new, it is about the mother family of Lord Baron. ”
"My mother?"
Liszt had almost forgotten that his mother was equally noble, and asked, "What happened to the castle of Long Taro?"
"The owner of the Long Taro Castle, the Marquis of Red Crab Island, has resigned from his position as captain of the palace fleet and returned to Red Crab Island because of an illness. The Earl was about to send someone to visit, and presumably the envoy would consult with the Baron when he came to assimilate the black tulips. ”
"Maybe. Liszt searched for the memories of his predecessor and recalled the castle of the taro in his memory.
The Grand Duchy of Sapphire is an archipelago country, and many nobles are divided into large and small islands. Among them, there is a large island, Red Crab Island, which is owned by the Long Taro family, and the lord is the hereditary Marquis of Red Crab Island in the Grand Duchy - Merlin Long Taro, who is also Liszt's grandfather.
The surname of the Long Taro family is derived from the Long Taro Elf they own.
The castle where he lived was the Fort of Taro, a fortress palace that was much larger and more luxurious than the Tulip Fort, and was magnificent, perched high above the mountains.
The Marquis of Merlin had two sons and two daughters, the eldest son Messiro, the second daughter Melinda, and the third daughter Melissa.
Melissa Long Taro is Liszt's mother.
When William Tulip was still a viscount, the Marquis of Merlin saw that he was extraordinary, married his third daughter Melissa to the Tulip family, and gave birth to three children: Levi, Li Weiwei and Liszt. To this day, Liszt would go to the castle of Long Taro every year to celebrate his grandfather's birthday.
However, since William Li remarried the new countess, the relationship between the Changtaro family and the Tulip family has gradually drifted apart.
But in any case, the Marquis of Merlin was Liszt's grandfather.
My grandfather was sick, and the juniors should visit.
