Banshee Castle, the aristocratic quarter, the backyard of the private house of the new wizard Rom.

A small pot was set on the stove, and the water in the pot was steaming. The butler took a handful of dried earthworms from Rom's hand, grabbed a pair of scissors, frowned and shredded them and threw them into the pot.

On the other side of the stove, Jason, the wizard with a pointed hat, was also clutching a dried earthworm. He looked left and right, sniffed it, and showed a disgusted expression, "This thing can really replace grains like oats and rye?" ”

"You don't eat it anyway." Rohm replied. The first batch of dried earthworms provided by the succubus were too sloppy, sold poorly, and the taste was unpleasant. The few people by the fireside disdained to eat this kind of thing. "But it's meat."

Dried earthworms are typical low-fat and high-protein foods, which can be used in a wide range of modern industrial environments. But even in an agrarian society, it can be used as feed for chickens and, if necessary, for people.

The water in the pot boiled, and soon the dried earthworms were boiled into a pot of porridge with rotten ......, and I don't know how to describe it.

To improve the taste, some oats are also added to the porridge. The butler grabbed a wooden spoon and scooped up the hot bowl, then handed it to Rom.

Röm looked down, his head turned away, and handed it to Jason again. Jason sniffed, but shook his head and handed it to a servant crouching behind him.

The servant took the porridge with both hands, not understanding what the old man was doing when he handed him this thing, and waited for the order blankly. Roma's butler said in a deep voice, "Drink while it's hot." ”

Oh...... I was going to test if this thing could be eaten?!

The servant who served the porridge suddenly turned pale, but he knew what his master was doing - alchemist, didn't he just do some strange things, and most of them were poisonous and harmful.

This steaming bowl of stuff must be a new poison.

The servant's face was sorrowful, and he begged for a few words of mercy. Rohm was already impatiently exclaiming, "It's food, not poison." It's for you to try whether it's good or not. ”

The old men didn't eat it, but they wanted me to eat it—the servant who served the porridge looked down at the bowl and felt that he was dead.

However, the housekeeper understood better, and said directly: "If you die, you will give your family a sum of money." Your children can do the work for the master. ”

It's better to have a back road than to die in vain. The servant was stared at by Rohm and Jason, and knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't drink, so he could only grit his teeth and take a small sip from the bowl.

Rohm hurriedly asked, "How does it taste?" ”

The porridge that has just come out of the pot is still very hot. The servant took only a small sip and said with a bitter face, "This thing tastes slippery and a little salty." Am I dying, sir? ”

"Don't be afraid, you can't die." Rohm believed that Zhou Qingfeng would not use poisonous things to favor him. He also did a 'toxicity detection' on the samples he brought back, and the results were normal. "We just want to know if this thing can be eaten?"

The north is cold, and the hot porridge cools quickly. The servant who was doing the experiment was apprehensive, but he was a little more relaxed after listening to Rohm's assurance. He took a few more sips from the bowl, and as he drank it, he realized that the strange thing seemed to be ......, not as bad as he had imagined.

The dietary conditions in the north are poor, and the food of the poor is not even as good as pig feed in Zhou Qingfeng's opinion. All kinds of strange things, but everything that can enter the mouth is classified as food. Dried earthworms look scary, but they are much stronger than the bark of grass roots.

After drinking a bowl of 'meat porridge', the servant smashed it and smashed his mouth, feeling even hungrier. He stared at the small pot that was still churning, and asked Rom, "Sir, I may not be sure if this thing is too little, can I eat another bowl?" ”

It doesn't look too bad.

Röm and Jason looked at each other, both nodding slightly, and looked at the butler by the stove together. The butler immediately understood what he meant, and went and called five or six more servants—men and women, old and young, the same bowl for each person.

The dried earthworms boiled in the pot were quickly drunk. The later servant was not as worried as the previous servant, and when he saw that the old man was enjoying the porridge and drinking, he took the bowl and poured it into his stomach. After they finished drinking, there was nothing abnormal, but they thanked the master for his generosity and wanted to drink again.

After a long ....... experiment, Wizard Jason slapped his face and shouted happily: "Great, this thing should be edible." This is meat, and if you can exchange oats for two to one, it is definitely not a loss. ”

Even nobles know that their slaves will not be able to work and will not settle down if they do not have enough to eat. To maintain rule, there must be enough food. Meat is more hungry than cereals, which is a huge advantage.

Having enough food can change the fate of a faction.

Jason happily grabbed Rom, "Did you sell the goods I asked you to sell last time?" ”

"Sold."

"Fifty percent premium?"

"Yes."

Hahaha ......, making sure that his business was not losing, Jason smiled with a red face. He took Rohm's arm again and shouted, "You can't have this grain for meat business alone." I will have the servant come and talk to your butler, and we will earn it together. ”

Rom smiled bitterly at this, he is now completely an agent of Zhou Qingfeng. Whether it is physical medicine, war materials, food and cloth, or even apprenticeship education, there is always a lot of involvement.

Zhou Qingfeng paid the bill in the form of jewelry, which has recently affected the price of jewelry in Banshee Castle.

Fortunately, the jewelry that entered the market came from the Elves' Silver Leaf City, and both the quality and cutting process were first-class, otherwise the amount of tens of thousands of gold coins alone would have smashed the price of ordinary jewelry.

Determined that dried earthworms could feed the stomachs of the people at the bottom, Roma also hurriedly took action. After all, Zhou Qingfeng only stayed for a month, and he would leave the Banshee Castle after a month. If you want to make money, you have to take advantage of it.

The wizards of the Banshee Castle are all noble and noble, and they will never personally intervene in mundane commerce. But they have a huge network of contacts, and they can mobilize far more supplies than they normally need.

Rohm was in a hurry to urge Zhou Qingfeng to buy the goods, and Jason went to run the oat-based grain supply. Both sides had their servants or butlers come forward and secretly transport large quantities of supplies from the Banshee Castle out of the city.

Zhou Qingfeng asked Luke to arrange the logistics system in advance, which played a huge role at this moment. Every day, more than a dozen wagons leave the Banshee Castle and head further north in the direction of the Black Forest, digging into the corners of the Fils family step by step.

The carriages were loaded with either grain and cloth purchased and transshipped from the south, or goods collected from the cities of the Northlands, or all kinds of talents recruited in the Banshee Fortress, the largest city in the Northlands.

Intellectuals like Lorraine are only part of the talent. Zhou Qingfeng also asked Seth and Adrian to find a large number of craftsmen and offer high salaries to woo them.

There is no shortage of blacksmiths in Harmony Village, but other skilled jobs are scarce. In this poor place in the Northland, from building construction to repairing and sewing, technicians from all walks of life are treasures.

Few could resist the temptation of having enough to eat and drink and double their incomes, and a few dozen people sailed north every day in Luke's carriage in the hope of a better life.

Next, Archbishop Dimitri of Southern Whigburg has to perform the seemingly inconspicuous magic of 'Caring for All Things' every day to increase the yield and quality of dried earthworms, so as to repay the debt he previously received from agricultural tools and irons.

The matter of raising earthworms has been secretly turned into a new industry that creates thousands of jobs, rationalizes the consumption of more than 100,000 people's excrement every day, and increases GDP growth by several points.

Zhou Qingfeng let Rohm sell one or two tons or three or four tons of dried earthworms every day in exchange for all kinds of materials he needed, and at the same time quietly made his opponent bleed. Just as his two-month trip was coming to an end......

Adrian, who is in charge of the secret investigation, gets a definite news - Powell Jr., who has not been seen for a while, has joined the city lord's guard of the Banshee Castle, and has been officially promoted to a knight and inherited the family business.

"But the guy's appearance changed dramatically when he reappeared, and he was no longer the paladin of Tyr, the god of justice. He became ...... and weird. ”
