Chapter 27: Sugar

The morning routine soon ended with Caroline's indignant swearing, and it was clear that our protagonist Caroline had once again been well cared for by her brother in a swordsmanship with Rudolph, which made Caroline, who had finally felt that her swordsmanship had improved, a little angry. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Rudolph is a strict and measured teacher, so Carolan has been knocked down by him several times in his sparring sessions. But in fact, Caroline finished her training and didn't have any major problems except for a slight limp when she walked, which was nothing compared to Rudolph's previous account of the trials he endured when he honed his swordsmanship as a child.

Caroline took off the matte she had pinned to her waist and held it with her left hand, rubbing the sore spots on her body with her right hand. "Rudolph is really ruthless, doesn't it mean that he looks fierce and doesn't like women? As for making me fall so much. Caroline thought in a broken manner as she walked back to her room.

After Carolan entered the room, she fell directly on her bed and didn't want to move any more, and Carolan felt especially tired today. However, when Caroline made up her mind to get some sleep, the door to his room was pushed open by Lisa and rushed in, followed by Lisa's eternally energetic voice: "Master Caroline, that Vincent found the plant you mentioned. This stuff is said to be everywhere in the forests near Mirror Lake, and now he's waiting for you outside the yard with a whole bunch of that stuff."

"Alright, well, oh, lala, hard-working Caroline is going to work again! After being beaten by a violent bombardment, you have to work again without rest! For the iris and for Klose. Oh lala" Carolan, who had just picked up the futon and covered her head and was about to rest for a while, heard Lisa's words and began to get up, but Lisa was no longer surprised when she saw this scene, she just smiled and looked at Caroline's own nerves on the bed, Lisa knew that Caroline was just venting her unhappy feelings, and she would recover after a while. I have to say that after Xu Xu crossed into this world, he became more freewheeling, maybe it was influenced by the original Caroline, and maybe this is also the nature of Xu Na who was suppressed in the 21st century because he was busy making a living.

"Let's go Lisa, go see the treasure Vincent found for us... Whether I can make irises become my cornucopia depends on whether these cuties can give it or not. As Lisa thought, Caroline got up and straightened her clothes when she had had enough of tossing, and after tying her long hair back together, Caroline strode out of her room.

Caroline has been thinking about what to do with Sa'an since she returned from Iris Manor. After carefully studying the situation of Iris, Caroline found that the reason why Saan was in a position of high power in the estate was that he was the steward in charge of the rental space and the brewing of liquor in the Iris Manor, and that Saan was actually a capable man to some extent, and under his control, the two aspects he was responsible for became the largest source of finance for the Iris Manor. This is why Sa'an covers the sky in the manor, after all, what boss would not like someone who is capable and connected. What the? You say your boss will worry about being overlooked? Joke! Would Otto be worried about this?

However, it was Sa'an's rising status in the estate that caused most of the resources in the estate to be tilted towards wine brewing and site rental, which made Caroline hardly see any plants and products other than wine from the irises' ledger, and even the grapes used to make wine were purchased from outside! This was an unacceptable economic composition for Caroline, who wanted to turn the Iris estate into a business rather than a toy, because such an estate simply could not provide Caroline with the two things he needed most: a strong samurai and plenty of money.

Therefore, Carolan's plan to deal with Sa'an is very simple, that is, with the support of the Klose family, he will directly start a new business near Mirror Lake, as long as his newly established manor can completely overpower Sa'an in strength, then Sa'an will not have to worry. The Saan who needs to give Caroline a headache is the Saan who holds the power of the iris finance, not an ordinary steward Saan.

Therefore, after Carolan decided on her own struggle strategy, she decisively turned out several common plans of the time-travelers from her mind: learn to make wine and get rich like some of the time-travelers' predecessors? … , winemaking is super food-consuming, not to mention Europe, even China doesn't dare to make wine like in some novels, and the food you waste alone can make the emperor cut you off on the charge of wasting national strength. And refining glass? More... In the 10th century, Europe did not know how to control the high temperature, the foundation was too poor, and the effect was too slow... What about porcelain? Same reason as above...

Caroline, who finally hollowed out her brain, finally came up with a good idea, which was inspired by Lisa. Last night, Lisa saw that Caroline had accidentally dropped the honey-coated bread on the ground, and Lisa, who was so distressed, rushed to pick up the dusty bread and eat it. Carolan, who noticed Lisa's grief-stricken expression, teased Lisa and said that she was already full, why was she still so hungry. Then Lisa replied to Caroline with a look of course, "I've had enough bread, but I haven't eaten anything as sweet as honey in two years." ”

Caroline, who was shocked by Lisa's words at that time, hurriedly asked Lisa if they usually didn't eat sugar, and then Caroline found that Lisa didn't know that there was such a thing as sugar in this world, and only a few nobles knew that there was such a thing as sugar in this world in addition to honey. For people of Lisa's class, not to mention sugar, it is already very good to be able to eat a full meal without going hungry.

At that time, Caroline felt that she had found a good idea to make money, you must know that although there was no sugar cane in Europe in this era, sugar beets were everywhere. Nearly 1,000 years later, during the French Revolution, Napoleon, who was blockaded by the British, ordered the cultivation of sugar beets throughout the country to resist British restrictions on the sugar trade. Although sugar beets have a lower sugar yield than sugar cane, and the extracted brown sugar would have been less aesthetically pleasing in the Middle Ages, when purification techniques were lacking. But it doesn't matter, this is the Middle Ages when a box of honey can make two lords roll up their sleeves and pull the men to war, Caroline believes that with such a huge profit, no one will care about the slightest flaw. Caroline, in particular, was going to earn her first pot of gold on this (poor Carolan didn't know that the Goethe family had compensated her with 800 gold dinars, and that money was still in Herman's hands), and Caroline believed that she would definitely silence anyone who dared to stand in her way.

So last night Carolan ordered Vincent, who was particularly eye-catching yesterday, to go to the surrounding area to find beets with large enough roots that met his requirements, and it seemed that this task was very easy, and Vincent came back early this morning with enough goals.

As soon as she walked to the courtyard, Caroline saw the handsome Vincent and the tall stack of beets at his feet, and Caroline, who had just smiled and wanted to praise Vincent, suddenly saw a somewhat shrunken figure behind Vincent, that figure was Catherine, the younger sister of the Muse siblings who attracted her great attention yesterday!

"Since you asked me to look for this plant near Mirror Lake, I wanted to go to the nearby village first to find a villager who is familiar with the surrounding situation to be a guide. The housekeeper of the village, Bud, was very enthusiastic about recommending this little girl, and luckily I quickly found enough of this plant under the guidance of this little girl. Seeing Caroline's puzzled eyes, Vincent replied without waiting for Carolan to ask. After saying all this, Vincent also specially carried Catherine behind his back and winked at Caroline, then reached out and pulled Catherine over and said to her, "Hey! Don't be afraid, Catherine, Master Carolan is a good man! You've done a great job this time, so introduce yourself to Young Master Carolan. ”

Looking at Catherine, who still couldn't let go, squirm and squirm in front of her, Caroline had to give Vincent a thumbs up in her heart. How could it be such a coincidence, as soon as Vincent went to the village of the Muse, the Bard steward recommended Catherine, who had planned to go to the manor, to come over, I am afraid that Vincent has made a lot of efforts in it, and I have to say that Vincent has done this very beautifully this time.

"Card... Card... Good day, Master Carolan, my name is Catherine... This is what I should do...... Yesterday... Yesterday... Thank you for not pursuing me and my brother. It can be seen that Catherine, who came to this occasion for the first time, was a little unable to let go.

"It's okay, little girl, don't be nervous, Lisa, take Catherine down and treat her to a good meal... Then I prepared some gifts for her to take home, and she helped me a lot this time. But Caroline didn't have much to spend on Catherine now, and casually sent Catherine to Lisa to deal with, anyway, Lisa's temperament would not bully Catherine to leave a bad impression on her.

Looking at Catherine holding Lisa's hand and walking away, Carolan asked casually to Vincent, "It seems that you have gained a lot?" How do you deal with that big bear? ”

"The harvest is good, this little girl's family is only her mother, and the woman has no intention of stopping me at all. Master Carolan... As far as I know, the little girl's house ......," said Vincent, who wanted to report to Caroline what he had learned about the Muse's family.

"I'll talk about this later... Come on, find a few people to bring these cuties and me, and it will be up to them to eat meat or drink soup in the future. After interrupting Vincent with a wave of her hand, Caroline turned and asked Vincent to take Beet and him to the backyard, where he had prepared something for juicing.

In the backyard of the courtyard, there were already more than a dozen maids waiting in the backyard before Carolan came in, and after seeing Caroline walk in, they all made a greeting to Caroline to express their respect for Carolan.

When they had finished saluting, Caroline nodded to indicate that she had seen it. Then Carolan watched Vincent bring the beets in, motioned for all the samurai except Vincent to go out, and then ordered the maids who had been waiting without looking back, "Now follow the steps I told you before, and deal with these things." ”

"Yes." With this echo, Caroline's backyard instantly became busy.

....................................................... Praise 300 pounds....................................

Ten hours later, Carolan's eyes were red as she looked at the crystals that were gradually forming in the copper cauldron and roared excitedly. That's right, even if she doesn't have to taste it, Caroline knows that this is the brown sugar of the later generations. Although they lack the tools of various industrial civilizations, these maids still create miracles through their various life experiences.

"Vincent! Come and try it! Later your armor! Steed! Weapons! You can count on it! Caroline saw that the maids had extinguished the flames, and without waiting for the temperature of the copper pot to drop, she reached out and took out the brown sugar in spite of the danger of burns in the maid's exclamation, and then handed it to Vincent with an excited face. He couldn't wait to find someone to share his joy with, and he wasn't at all worried about whether the maids would leak their secrets. Today, the people in this backyard are all old servants who have served the Klose family for generations, and if even they had betrayed the Klose family, then Carolan would have died in her own bed.

"Hmm...... It's so sweet..."Vincent was also a very interesting person, as if he didn't feel the heat, he stuck out his tongue and licked it on the thing that Caroline handed him, and then said this sentence that made Caroline explode with excitement.

"Hahahahaha
