Several "chefs" from the small canteen stand with their heads held high in front of a copper basin in which is the result of their development: cream.

Lilia took a closer look at the pale yellow gelatinous material in the copper basin and asked hesitantly, "Is this the cream?"

One of the "chefs" flattered and said, "Lady Lilia, this is the cream!" It took us three days and three nights to make four full barrels of fresh milk according to the method provided by the adults. ”

Lilia was stunned by the complexity and cost of making cream, and she desperately wanted to taste it.

Lilia begged Victor, "Victor, can I taste it?"

Victor was secretly funny, these guys didn't practice their cooking skills well, and the problem of sticking gold on their faces came out. In fact, the method of making natural cream is very simple. You only need to leave the fresh milk overnight, pick up the top layer of milk skin, put the milk skin into the leather bag, beat it repeatedly, rub it, and gradually turn it into cream. It's just that this method of making cream is time-consuming, and the amount extracted is small. As a lord, Victor naturally had to call the man in the small canteen to do such a simple and time-consuming thing.

Although the cream has been made, God knows if it can be eaten, anyway, Victor has no interest in trying it, and he will not let his women try it, so he coughed and said to a few guys.

"Well, I told you a long time ago that as a chef, you have to be responsible for your own creations, and you must taste the taste before serving it to your guests, which is a must-have professionalism for a chef, you know?

Victor's words made several "chefs" awe-inspired, and one by one they took out their spoons with serious and reserved expressions and tasted the cream reverently.

Seeing the aftertaste on the faces of several guys, Lilia asked curiously, "How is it?

"There was no taste. ”

"No, it's a little sour. ”

The guys said in a sneering voice, they couldn't believe that the cream that had taken so much time to make was tasteless.

"Did you fail?" Lilia asked Victor with a look of loss.

Victor smiled and took out a box of cane sugar, and instructed the "chefs": "Add the cane sugar, stir well and try again." ”

When the sparkling sucrose is thrown in, the slightly sour cream immediately changes its quality.

"Delicious!"

"Sweet and fragrant!"

The eyebrows of the chefs danced, and Nelson and Lilia couldn't hold back any longer, so they all stepped forward to taste it, and they were really surprised by the sweet and smooth taste.

Lilia smiled and said, "Victor, this cream is so delicious"

"My lord, let's not sell the cream to those black-hearted caravans, just sell it in the goat inn, and we'll make money!" said Nelson excitedly.

Victor shook his head: "We don't sell cream!

When the nobles ate the bread, they would smear honey on the bread or add air-dried preserved fruits to enhance the taste, but honey is produced in the wild, not to mention the high price, and the yield is still very unstable. So, Victor came up with the idea of replacing honey with cream and cane sugar. However, the local method of making cream has limited production and is not easy to preserve, so there are no conditions for production and sale. Victor decided to simply disclose the method of making cream to help promote cane sugar.

Nelson believed in Victor's methods, and he asked directly, "My lord, what are you going to do?"

Victor glanced at a few men and said with a smile, "Let our chef go to the goat inn to make bread." ”

_____________________

A carriage stopped in front of a courtyard in the vassal district of Blackcastle, and a well-dressed middle-aged man, Ryan, a vassal of the York family, stepped out of the carriage.

Ryan's family has served the York family for seven generations, and by Ryan's generation, the family has amassed more than 900 acres of fiefdom, a cow farm, a carpenter's workshop, and a blacksmith's shop.

Ryan has three sons and two daughters, the eldest son, as the heir to the family, took Ryan's position, directly incorporated into the Fangs Legion and became a soldier, after several years of hard work and Ryan's connections, he has achieved the position of squad leader. Ryan's second son, who was sent to the city guard of Blackcastle by Ryanto, became a city defense soldier, and maybe within a few years, he would be given land by the York family and become a vassal, of course, this also depends on Ryan's upper and lower points. His eldest daughter, on the other hand, was married to the eldest son of another vassal.

In addition, some of Ryan's blood relatives are also vassals of the York family, which makes the Ryan family quite powerful among the vassal class, but Ryan is not satisfied.

Ryan once wanted to send his second son and eldest daughter to the lord lord to become squires and maids, but the children's appearance was indeed ordinary, and they were not chosen. And the second daughter of the old neighbor Rum was chosen, and when he saw the triumphant face of the old Rum, Ryan hated it.

Now, the House of York's territory is more than twice as large as before, and the vassals of the House of York are gearing up to win more land and higher status.

In peacetime, it is very slow to improve the status of the family by accumulating military exploits, so making children become the attendants of noble lords is a shortcut, and the competition is also fierce.

So, Ryan raised a young and beautiful mistress and bought her a home in Blackcastle. Ryan just wants to give birth to a few beautiful illegitimate children so that he can be sent to be a squire or maid.

This woman is also competitive, and has given birth to a son and a daughter for Ryan in the past few years, that is, Ryan's youngest son and youngest daughter, and Ryan has come to visit them today.

Ryan stepped out of the carriage, and the old butler here greeted him.

"Good day, sir!"

Ryan walked towards the courtyard with a slight bow, as a superior person, he has his own majesty, not to mention that the old brother still relies on him to eat.

"Master, you're here!"

A beautiful woman greeted Ryan with a smile, and she was Ryan's mistress, Busha. Busha is 30 years old, wearing a well-made thin linen dress, with a lizard skin belt tied around her waist, which sets off the slender waist and plump buttocks, and also makes the plump breasts appear more straight, and the snow-white on the chest makes Ryan's heart hot.

Ryan is 54 years old this year, but his body is still strong and powerful after years of hard workout, and when he sees the charming and moving appearance of his mistress, he feels that he is more than ten years younger.

Ryan walked to Bustha's side, grabbed his mistress's thin waist, and said with a grin, "Bussa, why are you so beautiful today?"

"What's the matter? I didn't look good before, did I?"

Seeing Ryan's fascination in his heart, Busa was very proud in her heart, although this rich and powerful man was older, he could provide her with a good life, and she had to hold on to it.

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking. Ryan said flatteringly, and the majesty of the superior was completely gone.

Ryan tightened his arm, and was about to take the beauty in to warm up for a while, when he heard two immature children's voices.

"Give it back! That's my sugar!"

"If you don't give it, come and arrest me. ”

The two children ran out one after the other, with his 7-year-old son in front and his 5-year-old daughter in the back.

When the little girl saw her father here, she immediately ran over crying, grabbing the corner of Ryan's coat and shaking it non-stop.

"Dad, my brother snatched my candy, you help me get it back. ”

Ryan took his little daughter into his arms and coaxed him pityingly: "Nana, don't cry, Dad will help you get it back." ”

"Andy, come here, what did you rob your sister?" Ryan scolded his young son with a straight face.

Andy handed the sugar cube in his hand a little fearful, knowing that his father had always loved his sister more.

Of course, Ryan loves his little daughter more, this little girl looks very similar to Busha, like a mold that comes out of a mold, a standard beauty embryo. In fact, with the appearance of Busha, she can become the lady-in-waiting of the lord of the lord, but unfortunately the noble maid must be selected from the daughters of the vassals. Ryan just wants to wait for his youngest daughter to grow up to 15 or 6 years old, and then send her to the noble lord as a maid, maybe she can be favored by the noble knight lord, if she is lucky enough to conceive the blood of the knight, it will be the best, even if she can't become a personal maid in the end, Ryan will not marry Nana, but let the noble child be born in his own home. This would change the fate of his family. In contrast, young sons are less precious.

"What is this?" Ryan asked, taking the purple square, a little confused.

"Sir, this is a sugar cube, a recent snack in town. The old butler replied respectfully.

"Daddy, Daddy, give me, I want to eat!"

Nana stretched out her little white hand to get the candy cube from her father's hand, but Ryan didn't give it to her.

"How can you give this kind of thing to the children casually, and what if something goes wrong with it?" Ryan asked the butler sternly.

"It's okay, I've had people eat it first, there's no problem at all, and a lot of people in the town eat this sugar cube. Busa laughed.

Ryan looked at it, sniffed it again, put the sugar cube to his mouth and licked it, immediately felt a hint of sweetness, and couldn't help but put the whole sugar cube in his mouth, the sugar cube melted in his mouth, accompanied by a sweet taste.

"There's honey in there?!Busha, how can you buy such an expensive thing for the kids?"

Ryan was surprised and complained about the luxury of his little wife, 10 gold soles a pound of honey, a vassal like him really can't afford to eat, even if he eats, he doesn't dare to give his children a snack to eat, which will make people jealous!

"Do you think I'm such an ignorant person?" Busa said coquettishly, twisting Ryan's ear, "It's a sugar cube made of jaggery, and it only costs 45 copper cords a pound." It's made of purple cane!"

"Huh, so cheap?" the price made Ryan stunned for a moment.

"Wow, my sugar cubes. Nana burst into tears, she was sure that the sugar cube had been eaten by her father and would never come out again.

Ryan hugged the daughter and said to Busa distressedly, "Take another sugar cube for Nana." ”

"It's gone, that's the last piece, why did you eat it!?" Busa picked up her crying daughter and complained while coaxing.

Ryan's face flushed with embarrassment, and he shouted to the butler angrily, "What are you doing here? Why don't you buy it quickly! Remember to sell more, I'll take some back!"

"Sir, the jaggery in the town has been sold out, and according to Boss John, who sells the jaggery, the next batch will not be until ten days later!"

This sad news made Nana cry even more sadly.

————————————

"I really don't know, how did Achill do things! Cane sugar, jaggery, such important information has not been sent back!"

The Earl of York walked around irritably, and he was in a terrible mood.

Sylvia looked at her husband's anxious appearance and sighed slightly, only when talking about money can he behave like a man in front of him.

"What's strange about this, Achill told us a long time ago that Victor had sealed off the upper camp and developed something out of purple cane, but Azier didn't know that it was cane sugar. Sylvia said lightly.

"There is nothing strange about it! In ten days' work, three thousand pounds of jaggery were snapped up, which could have been written in the franchise agreement, but now there are variables!" said the Earl of York gloomily.

"Are you worried that Sophia will meddle in the business of jaggery and cane sugar?" Sylvia raised a delicate willow eyebrow.

"I'm afraid Sophia will pull Victor back, this kid is like a hen that lays golden eggs, you insist on making Victor our vassal, I was stupid to oppose it at the beginning, and now it seems that you are wise. The Earl of York shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Since reading Victor's franchise agreement, the Earl of York is in favor of it with both hands and feet, and the vassal only needs to pay 50% of the property to the sovereign, while the franchise agreement provides for a 100% purple cane wine franchise, which is more beneficial to the York family.

"There's no need to worry, Sophia and I have an agreement, in fact, she has given up on little Victor. Sylvia laughed.

"In the eyes of the business aristocracy, only profit is the most important thing, and any agreement is bullshit! It is difficult for us to refuse Sophia, after all, she is providing us with cheap food and iron. ”

The Yorkist family's migration to the Centaur Hills was not without loss, they lost hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land, various minerals, and complete sets of infrastructure, all of which had to be built from scratch, and until then, they could not do without the support of trade.

"How rude, Embisser, you are well versed in business, but underestimate politics, and Baron Verpin will take care of that for us. ”
