Chapter 0076: Three Merchants in the Town
By the time the convoy left Flower Town, the castle was calm again, although there were a lot of plates, wine glasses, etc. that needed to be cleaned up, and the small garden outside the castle was trampled by the knights. But all of this, Carter can organize the servants to clean up slowly without any pressure.
The castle had fifteen servants, which was enough to use.
"Mr. Galtai, the festival is coming to an end, and we need to get out of the festive atmosphere. The construction of the town cannot be stopped, and the logging and gravel teams continue to expand, as well as the fence construction team, and strive to open the passage as soon as possible. β
Galtai was still unsatisfied: "As you wish." β
At this banquet, he was like a fish in water, and he talked and laughed with the earl, which he had not had in many years.
"Flower Town is in the limelight. He used such adjectives to describe today's luncheon, the dazzling seafood, and the tongue-numbing ice cream.
Liszt, however, had something else in mind.
In the evening, he drank a glass of red wine alone with Carter: "Mr. Carter, I originally planned to show the poor side of Flower Town, maybe in exchange for the help of Tulip Castle." accidentally held a grand banquet, seafood, ice cream, and Warcraft meat, which has no reason to cry poor at all. β
Carter smiled and said, "The lord showed his demeanor, your performance at the banquet is loved, if I were a knight, I would probably stay in Flower Town and follow you." β
Another meaning of the aristocracy's "flaunting of wealth" is to show their strength in order to attract followers.
Viscount Trick Humulus was attracted by the Earl's charisma and became a follower. Help the Tulip family, participate in the Grand Duchy's pioneering war, and finally create a great foundation for the Earl of Coral Island.
"But there were no knights left, did they. β
"I believe that the seed has been sown, and maybe one day it will suddenly blossom. β
"A very philosophical word, Mr. Carter, for this sentence, a toast. β
"Cheers, sir. β
A sip of red wine moistened his throat, and Liszt asked, "How much food did my father bring today?"
"I brought a lot of food, but I used most of it at the banquet, and the extra was mainly beer and fine wheat flour, and some spices, anise, ginger, pepper, licorice, and salt and sugar. β
"How much wheat flour and how much beer?"
"There are about 500 catties of fine wheat flour and 30 barrels of beer. β
The fine wheat flour was evidently made for Liszt's white bread, and he was a little distractedβhe could feel that the Count still had a fatherly affection for him.
Some details can be shown.
For example, if you really don't care about Liszt, there is no need to come to a remote town for the festival. The deliberate disregard for saltpeter at the banquet was not a protection for him, especially since Marif deliberately mentioned that the saltpeter mine was worth developing.
Now he has brought a lot of food and sent it to him.
"Could it be that the Count is also a man of good faith? He was a little restless, if the Earl's family ignored him, he could easily maintain the light style of a gentleman's friendship and live his life leisurely.
What I am most afraid of is that there are family entanglements between each other.
Let him not know what to do, whether to integrate into this family affection according to his current identity, or to maintain his personality and continue to keep his distance.
"Is this the fetters of family affection, as long as you are human, you can't escape this net. β
Having drained the red wine in one gulp, he decided not to think about this troublesome thing anymore and just let it beβnot to take the initiative, not to refuse. Running away his thoughts, he asked, "Mr. Carter, have you given away all the seafood that you gave back to Tulip Castle?"
"It's been handed over to Mr. Silva, it's all good dried seafood. β
"Very good, courtesy. β
Put down your glass.
Carter also drank the red wine, put away the two glasses, and bowed slightly: "Master, rest early, I wish you a good night, I will retire first." β
"Good night, Mr. Carter, have a good dream. β
......
The next few days were monotonous and calm.
In addition to supervising the logging work, Liszt is also focusing on another matter β the work training of fruit stealing monkeys.
Seven fruit-stealing monkeys were captured alive and all survived, but two of them were lame and no longer had much chance of climbing the tree.
The remaining five were handed over to the town's Orions for training.
Ropes, whips, and fruits are used together, and soon the temperamental fruit-stealing monkeys are cleaned up, and the trees are on the trees, and the cages are on the cages.
"Three female monkeys, four male monkeys, I believe that by the second half of the year, there will be ten fruit stealing monkeys. "Monkeys can usually give birth to two litters a year, but one baby is usually one.
Liszt looked at the more and more obedient fruit thief monkey and was very satisfied: "Without the destruction of the fruit thief monkey, this year's fragrant coconut fruit can be ripe, and I believe that in a month or two, you will be able to drink fresh and sweet coconut water." "Coconut fruit has no seasonality, except in winter, when it does not grow, it will continue to bear fruit in other seasons.
"It seems that there is no fragrant coconut fruit for sale in Coral City, maybe, development and development, which is a major specialty of Flower Town, but unfortunately it did not breed fragrant coconut tree spirit insects. β
While he was outlining the future of the coconut palm, Orion had already begun training fruit stealing monkeys to pick fruits.
Tie the fake fruit to the branch and let the fruit thief pick it, and if you pick it, you will be rewarded with a peanut, and if you don't pick it, you will be whipped directly. The fruit thief can't run, because he has a rope around his neck, and if he dares to run, he will be whipped back.
"Remember, animals also hold grudges and lose their temper. As long as they are serious about their work, they should not whip them at will. I have found out that I have whipped the fruit thief for no reason, and I will whip these whips on you. He emphasized with a serious expression that he did not want to steal fruit monkeys in the future and rebel and stone a few fruit farmers to death.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured, we will not dare to forget a word you gave us. "The part-time hunter knows that he will change from a farmer to a fruit farmer in the future, and he will use fruit stealing monkeys to work, which is all good.
If it weren't for training, I wouldn't be willing to whip it - the fruit thief is a knight's horse to the fruit farmer.
Away from the fruit thief, he returned to the castle and sent a few of the merchants from the new serfs to call over.
"Old Grande, Sherlock, Abagon, you are all merchants on Little Papa," asked Liszt again.
"Yes, my lord. β
"Is there a merchant named Pryushkin on Little Papa Island?"
Old Grandet replied, "My lord, there are only three of us who are engaged in the sale of small goods on Little Papa Island, and I can name all the people in the city, but there is not a single one named Pryushkin. β
"Well, I'm just asking. Liszgaard glanced at old Grandet, and the other party's words, "Everyone in the city can call by name", showed his extraordinary, "I have called you here today to form a caravan belonging to the castle, and I hope to leave it to the three of you to be in charge." β
