230 The lights went out

After the gold coins were distributed, the mercenaries went crazy for several days, and all ran to Black Rock City to get drunk and dreamed to death, making some merchants in the city make a lot of money, and when they came to their senses, they gave all the rest of the money to their families, and then they all ran back to Gray Rock Village to stay, and received Bai Min's training with the village guards every day, in their private words: "A mercenary, you can't earn a hundred gold coins in your life, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong bought our lives at once, and in the future, he pointed out that we will go east, He asked us to jump off a cliff, and we jumped off a cliff, without frowning for a moment. ”

In this way, Aslan felt that he couldn't command these members anymore, but then he thought about it for a few days and then thought about it, if the command is not moving, it is better to work under Chen Xiansong than to be outside in the wind and rain.

The villagers are very envious of this, in contrast, they work hard every day, and they only get two copper coins and a few pieces of black bread, but envy is envy, they also know that those wealth is the mercenaries with their lives and abilities, and ordinary people have ordinary people's ways of living, and they can't ask for it.

The village was noisy for a while because of the distribution of a large number of gold coins, and then calmed down, Chen Xiansong lived a life of getting up in the morning to run and exercise, studying meditation in the afternoon, drinking drinks and chatting with a few beautiful women in the evening, and occasionally visiting the teacher in the city. Udir looks getting older and older, but he is very happy, smiling every day.

At noon one day in June, Ryan, who had been hit by an arrow in the knee, came to Chen Xiansong's castle with two small jars, and after explaining his intentions, the person in charge of standing guard at the door let him enter the castle.

Chen Xiansong invited him to drink milk tea, Ryan didn't even dare, and then put the two jars on the table, and Chen Xiansong just opened them. There was a burst of sweet mixed floral aromas, which turned out to be two jars of honey or royal jelly. Ryan is now a beekeeper, and several queen bees are Chen Xiansong who spent a lot of money...... Three hundred coins each were bought from a small nobleman in the city, and the eco-agricultural circle that had been built with great effort last year is now working very well.

The fruit trees on the mountain bloom and provide nectar for the bees, and Chen Xiansong has people fence off the nearby back mountain, and dozens of chickens are stocked in it. Moreover, the chicken nest is near the hive, and the life span of bees is generally not long, and the dead bees just become the food of the chickens, and they are almost not fed at ordinary times.

The chickens run around in the back hills, and the manure they expel becomes fertilizer for the fruit trees. The villagers didn't know anything about these things, but Ryan saw them. From the beginning of spring to the present. The hens that run around in the mountains all day long are especially capable of laying eggs, and the number of hens raised by every household in the whole village is not as many as there are a few months a year.

A small part of these eggs went into the city lord's mansion, and most of them fell into the stomach of the village guards, who always said that the guards ate almost half an egg in their meals. The food is good, and the city lord must have spent a lot of money, but he didn't know that this was just self-sufficiency.

In addition, Chen Xiansong has all the paddy fields under his name. There are fish fry stocked in it, now those fish have grown to the size of three fingers, if it is harvested in the autumn, it must be a fat fish the size of a palm, these villagers are in the eyes, they never thought that they can do this, some people also learned to put fish fry in their own paddy fields, but because of the late time, these fish fry that were stocked later are now only the size of two fingers.

Ryan is very satisfied with his current job, five copper coins a day, a basic salary of two eggs, and for each jar of honey scraped out of the City Lord's Mansion, he can get a reward of three silver coins, and a jar of royal jelly and a reward of one gold coin. On top of that, he also learned a craft, how to keep bees, how to scrape honey.

Honey is expensive because it is now the only sweet seasoning in the entire world...... All kinds of desserts should be flavored with it, whether it is cake or milk tea. The jars that Ryan brought were specially used to hold honey, and one jar was just one kilogram. A jar of ordinary honey costs 40 gold coins, a jar of high-grade honey costs 60 gold coins, and the price of royal jelly is a 100 gold coins per can, but it is rarely sold. These things are rare for ordinary civilians to taste once in their lives.

In the entire world, there are not many people who know how to be a beehive, know how to keep bees, and know how to scrape honey. The little nobleman dared to sell a few queen bees to Chen Xiansong, which was to conclude that Chen Xiansong would not be able to keep bees and would not affect his business. Chen Xiansong can't, but Bai Min and Bai Qianxin can both use the chips in their brains to calculate this process, because this is really not a high-tech, at most a craft.

After getting the two gold coins, Ryan happily retreated.

Alice, who was working in the kitchen, suddenly ran out, picked up the jar on the table, sniffed it, and exclaimed happily, "Wow! It's really royal jelly, it's so good, I haven't eaten it in a long time. "She was originally a noble woman, and she had eaten honey and royal jelly, but even she had only eaten it twice, which showed its preciousness.

"If you like, take a can and eat it." Chen Xiansong smiled, royal jelly is a very nourishing thing, when he was a child, Sister Bai made a lot of royal jelly drinks for him to drink, if it is not processed, the taste of royal jelly is even inferior to ordinary honey.

"Let's eat together, I know how to make rose honey......" Alice blushed a little, picked up a jar of royal jelly and ran into the kitchen.

Chen Xiansong didn't know that rose honey wine has a special meaning, although most of the women in the aristocratic class are victims of political marriages, but occasionally there are some strange women who can jump out of this dead knot. There used to be a noble female soul contemplator in the kingdom of Kate, she liked a prince, but because the two sides did not intersect, they could not meet often, she learned that the prince liked fine wine, and one day she made a kind of wine out of royal jelly, and invited the prince to taste it at home, and the prince fell in love with her after drinking, and this wine was rose honey.

In fact, the truth behind this story is that after drinking, the prince sensed that a great business opportunity was unfolding in front of him, so he married a female soul contemplator, so he got a lot of money, and finally he defeated several older brothers and became king. As a gift to the throne, he revealed the recipe for the rose honey so that it was no longer a secret.

Whether it is the surface of the story or the truth of the story itself, Chen Xiansong is not clear.

There is still a jar of royal jelly left, Chen Xiansong plans to give it to the teacher, Udier is old and not in good health, so he just eats some royal jelly to make up for it. He called Bai Min, called the coachman, and ran all the way to Black Rock City in the carriage, only to find that the teacher was not there, and only his escort Robert stayed inside.

Robert told Chan that Udil was out temporarily in a hurry and would not be back until about four days. Chen Xiansong then handed the royal jelly to Robert, who passed it on to Udil.

Robert held the royal jelly in his hand and readily agreed, and after Chen Xiansong left, his expression became very strange, gloomy, lost, and sad.

After Chen Xiansong returned home, he spent a few more days of leisure, and then on the morning of the fifth day, while he was eating breakfast, a haggard Robert himself came to the door and handed a white post. The content was written by the youngest grandson, to the effect that Udil died last night, and if Chen Xiansong is okay today, please come to the funeral at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Xiansong immediately took Bai Min and personally drove the carriage to Udier's manor.

In the basement, Chen Xiansong saw the old man who was covered with a white face and was about to be buried. Chen Xiansong lifted the white cloth and saw that Udilgan was thin and thin, his lips turned blue, his eyes were red, and he angrily lifted the collar of his little grandson and shouted: "The teacher was poisoned, who did it, why didn't you tell me earlier." ”

The little grandson obviously cried for a long time, both eyes were swollen, he shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Chen, grandpa is not poisoned, the soul thinker will be like this before he dies, and you will ...... it in the future" He took out a book from his arms: "This is the relic that grandpa asked me to hand over to you, grandpa told me that no one can open it except you, so I don't know what is written in the road." ”

"Also, grandpa asked me to tell you that royal jelly tastes good...... "The little grandson couldn't cry.

Chen Xiansong was dumbfounded and could no longer speak, he turned his head to look at the old man lying on the stone pivot, Udil's face was very serene, with a smile.

The funeral was held as scheduled, and Chen Xiansong watched as the old man was carried into the coffin, nailed with a lid, and buried in the dirt at the end. There were many nobles at the funeral, the city lord, Zelonger, and so on. Chen Xiansong didn't cry, nor did he shed tears, but his eyes were always pale red, like a ridiculous rabbit.

Two days after the funeral, Chen Xiansong didn't eat anything, only drank some milk tea and honey, and looked at the book left by Udier in a daze all day long. This made Bai Min very worried, and Bai Qianxin could only sigh when she looked at this situation. Alice tried her best to make something to eat, just smelling it made people have an appetite, but unfortunately Chen Xiansong still didn't have any appetite.

The little guy Frances is no longer noisy, and she doesn't dare to stick to Chen Xiansong, for fear of making the teacher angry, the girl Thirteen has a little more recognition in her eyes, in her mind, a person who knows how to grieve for the deceased teacher will definitely not have a bad heart. Among them, the only person who is not worried about Chen Xiansong is Catherine, she is a person from the past, and she has experienced even sad things, so she knows very well that people will continue to live after all.

In the past two days, the city lord's mansion has been gloomy, and Bai Min has been training those guards desperately, making them feel that they have entered hell. Fortunately, on the morning of the third day, Chen Xiansong finally came out of his grief and seemed much more perked. Everyone felt relieved and relieved. The convoy was also liberated.

After another three days, the Black Rock City Association came and asked Chen Xiansong to take office and become the new branch president of the association. (To be continued......)
