Chapter 5: Growing Sugar Cane
Sugar cane, coffee, rubber, these things, Dobby has heard of the first two.
However, they are all specialties of the southerners, and these things are rarely found in the northern countries, let alone cultivated.
"Sir." Dobby looked at Orondo, who was a little distressed, and he suggested. "If you really want these things. I can go to the people of Kul Tiras, who have come to Nanhai Town to do business. They often do business with the Yankees and may be able to meet your requirements. ”
"You can give it a try." The idea of growing cash crops in your own field is not immediately realized.
Orondo thought so and asked him again.
"When our wheat is harvested, where do we sell it?"
"The lords paid taxes, and most of them, except for the rations they left for the manor to eat, were sold to the merchants of Lordaeron or Kurtilas."
"It's mainly Kurtilas, who don't grow much of their own staple foods. Wheat in the hills is very popular in all human kingdoms. Dobby whispered.
Orondo nodded and said, "Okay." I don't have a problem for the time being, you can go and do it yourself. ”
"It's not early. The lord rests early. Dobby stepped back respectfully.
After Dobby was gone, Orondo stepped out of his bedroom and stood in his own small courtyard.
He looked up at the starry sky and the white lady Elune in the middle of the firmament, and found the poor blue child in the corner according to Elune's location.
After admiring the night sky of Azeroth for a moment, Orondo felt nothing but empty and silent everything around him.
The dew at night in the hilly area was heavy, and after standing for a while, my shoulders became a little wet.
Orondo, who didn't want to catch a cold, returned to his room.
Lying on a soft and comfortable hilly lion skin mattress laid with a blended surface, Orondo looked at the ceiling.
If it comes, it will be safe.
Azeroth is also a world that it has dreamed of, and can leave its mark on this world.
It can be regarded as the completion of the daydreams and fantasies of his youth.
It's a world of magic.
It's amazing.
With a relaxed and happy mood, I accepted that I was now Orondo Sephorosa, and fell asleep.
this night.
Orondo dreamed.
He dreamed that he would dominate Dalaran and become the boss of Kenrito, subduing the Scourge with one hand and closing the dark door with the other.
On the left is Azhara, on the right is Egwene, in front is Tyrande, and behind is the Windranger sisters.
For some reason, the other Azeroth beauties in the dream all had blurred faces.
Egwene on the right alone looks a little familiar, beautiful, cold and deadly.
In her dream, she glanced coldly at Orondo.
Then Orondo woke up.
It's dawn.
The mild morning sun of the hills shone in through the windows that had not been closed last night, casting mottled silhouettes on the ground.
Smelling the fresh air of the country house, Orondo stretched on his mattress and moaned comfortably.
If it weren't for the fact that this was the calamitous Azeroth, a human without strength would easily be taken away by any kobold on the side of the road.
Orondo really wanted to live comfortably like this, lazy for the rest of his life, content to be a wealthy country nobleman.
If it weren't for the threat of Azeroth, which hung like a knife around his neck, who would want to work so hard to become a mage.
He knew that the history of Azeroth was going to be brutal and that Orondo was forcing himself to be diligent.
Breaking free from the terrifying seal of a warm bed and washing, Orondo discovers one thing - this is not an industrial society, and there is no convenient toothpaste toothbrush.
A noble young master like him can only brush his teeth with a kind of sea salt mixed with charcoal powder and gauze, brush the ashes of his teeth and rinse them again.
Those civilians simply haven't brushed their teeth all their lives, and from the age of forty or fifty, basically everyone has a bad mouthful, and oral problems accompany them for the rest of their lives.
What is toothpaste made of?
Toothpaste on Earth is mainly made of fluoride, does Azeroth have fluoride? Or what is the fluoride on Earth called in Azeroth?
Toothbrushes are easy to solve, pig hair can be used as toothbrushes, or the one with better quality and more expensive price.
Azeroth has pigs as animals, so naturally there are pig hairs.
After thinking about washing up, I walked outside and did a few chest expansion exercises in the sun, and the new day officially began.
In a month to report to Dalaran, Orondo is still very eager for his future life in the Magic Kingdom.
Until then, though, there are a few things to do on the estate, like what to plant.
Everyone on earth knows that farmers can't just grow food if they want to get rich. The same is true of Azeroth, who can only keep food and clothing on it, and cannot make a fortune.
Orondo's idea was to use the rest of his land to grow cash crops, except for a small amount left to grow food.
For the time being, he decided to choose sugarcane as the cash crop he would grow next.
First, because the climate and land in the hilly area are obviously suitable for growing sugar cane.
The second is the high-quality white sugar extracted from sugar cane, which is similar to a luxury at this time in this world, and the price is very high, and only the rich and nobles can enjoy it.
Moreover, the bagasse after sugar cane refining can also be used to make wine, and the rum made can also be sold for money.
Unlike coffee, only some nobles and mages could afford to spend money on it to refresh their minds.
So just after a delicious breakfast, he called the butler Dobby and said what he thought.
"Dobby, before going to Dalaran. I'd like to take a trip to the town of Nanhai first, and you can try to contact the merchants of Kul Tiras, from whom I would like to get the seeds of sugar cane. ”
"Young Master, do you want to grow sugar cane on our land?" Dobby asked.
"Yes."
Dobby nodded, not asking why sugar cane was grown.
The only thing a good housekeeper should do when the master asks for it is to obey and then do his best to complete it.
This was the steward of the previous House of Sephorosa, and it was Dobby's father who taught Dobby's housekeeping philosophy.
"Actually......" Dobby whispered, "I checked in the morning and we had about 50 pounds of sugar cane in our warehouse. Half a month ago, Jobby bought it from Nanhai Town and was going to use it as an ingredient to make sweet bread. ”
Sweet bread was a high-class food popular in the hills of Hillsbrad, and only the nobility and big merchants could afford it.
It is a bread made from the finest high-quality wheat flour, mixed with honey and sugar cane juice, and finally made from the final test.
It is fragrant and fragrant, and is loved by the ladies and ladies of the nobility, and it is a dessert specially provided to the ladies and ladies when the nobles hold banquets.
The Severosa family was a small nobleman, and sometimes it was necessary to hold some banquets and invite the nobles from the neighborhood to attend.
These sugar canes are the food to be prepared for such a feast.
"50 pounds? It's a little less, not much to grow. Orondo pondered for a moment, and then he thought for a moment, "I can use it for experiments." ”
"Experiments?" Dobby was puzzled.
