Chapter 101: Hot Pot Conference
Momiji didn't expect that such a scene would be in Renault's room. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
His room was not closed at all, and a dozen candlesticks lit it up. Reno, Vivi, Bucky, Anna, Miley, and Yusie, six of them, gathered around a round table full of dishes, a large cauldron churning with dark red soup.
The fragrance emanated from the pot, and it was particularly strong and even a little pungent when I walked to the door.
Momiji couldn't help but be a little disappointed, she thought that Renault hadn't slept so late, mostly discussing the affairs of Sequoia Town, but she didn't expect that she was just eating.
Just as she was about to turn away, Anna spotted her and hurriedly pulled her into the house.
Only then did Momiji see clearly that the cauldron on the table was actually full of red peppers, and the expression on his face was suddenly very strange.
"Can you eat boiled chili food?" she asked, a little worried.
"Chilli water?"
Everyone was hehehe, Weiwei helped her pick up some favorite dishes in the pot, and tried to eat a bite of the thin slices of mutton stained with greasy, the spicy taste and all kinds of strange aromas suddenly filled all her taste buds.
"How's it going?"
"Hmm...... I can't describe the feeling, but it's delicious, it's just a little too spicy. ”
Renault smiled, hot pot is always a little unaccustomed to eating it for the first time.
It's like Baggy, who could only eat a few slices at first, but now he can eat more than Renault.
He held chopsticks in one hand, a skill he had just learned, and a pencil in the other, and kept writing something in a thick notebook.
"It's just in time that you're here, we're discussing something about Redwood Town," Renault put down his chopsticks and said, "This meeting was supposed to take place half a month ago, but I can't get out of the matter of Black Fog Ridge." But it doesn't seem too late, there is still some time before sorghum planting, and we should still have time. ”
"You said planting sorghum?"
"Yes, the current cultivation method is not reasonable enough, and I have improved it. ”
Momiji couldn't help but be stunned.,Is this still necessary to improve?
For thousands of years, the Tuke Basin has survived on sorghum and wheat, and its yield is second to none in the entire Oro continent.
And Renault's family has always dealt with iron, right?
Seeing that she didn't trust her much, Renaud asked Badge to hand her a blank piece of paper.
Momiji looked at it several times and found that the contents on it were even more incredible than this blank piece of paper.
The field should first be deeply cultivated, at least to less than 30 cm. This alone is unlikely, Sequoia Town has a land area of more than 20 acres per person, and it is already very difficult to turn over the ground since the land thaws. By this standard, the amount of labor per person would increase by a factor of four to five.
It would be good for such a person to be able to plant four or five acres of land, but even if the yield is high and the area is so small, the harvest will still be less.
There is also the practice of raising seedlings first and then transplanting, and Momiji also thinks that it is redundant.
If the sorghum seedlings that have already taken root are transplanted again, will they not be damaged? There are also two absolutely different concepts of putting seeds in the ground and planting seedlings, and it is estimated that the 10 acres of land where the seeds have been put will be completed, and the planting of seedlings will not be finished in 1 acre.
Seeing that she couldn't help frowning, Renault didn't explain too much, just said lightly: "Tomorrow you gather all the townspeople, and I will have someone to guide them on how to do it." I have expropriated a small piece of land outside the town and will show them it. If everything is done as I say, the yield of sorghum will at least double this year. ”
"No way. ”
Momiji confidently retorted that farming is not ironmaking, and the yield can be turned over?
"Then let's make a small bet," Renault said, pointing to the blank paper in her hand, "all according to this, if this year's yield does not increase to 600 catties per mu, I promise you a request within your ability." ”
"Well, so do my bets!"
Momiji slapped the table very heroically, but soon she was eclipsed. Sequoia Town is not hers, even if the production can be increased by a hundred times, what does it have to do with her? What is she happy about.
"Then it's settled, you have to put a little more thought into it during this time, and you have to carry out this planting plan. ”
"Me?" Momiji's little hand shook, and a ripple suddenly stirred up in his heart, "Why me?"
Renault asked rhetorically: "Of course it's you, can I find a more suitable person?"
"But...... I ......"
"If you don't agree, then I'll have to sell Sequoia Town to your brothers, and I think they'll get a good price. Renault said seriously, "My roots are in Black Iron Town, and I can't stay here forever." ”
"No!" Momiji became anxious, and finally made up her mind to break away from the family, she didn't want to go back to the old days.
Besides, no matter which one of them Sequoia Town handed over to her brothers, the townspeople will not have a good life.
"Then you agreed?"
Momiji bit her lip and finally said, "I agree, but I have a request. ”
"I know what you're trying to say," Renault shrugged, "From now on, Momiji Tuke, you're my third officer, and the mayor of Sequoia Town, and you'll have the authority to handle all the day-to-day affairs yourself. Don't worry, I'll pay you. ”
Mayor Mare is a new name, and Renault has given her enough power to make Redwood largely independent except for the financial and military.
This made Momiji even more puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that I will mess around?"
"Will you?" Renault asked rhetorically, "Anyway, I don't care, I can toss as much as you want, I just need food, if you don't have it, I can find someone else to buy it, if you don't do well, I can learn to do it with someone else." ”
Are you kidding!
Momiji was born in a nobleman, and she had her own territory as soon as she became an adult, and no one had ever ordered her like this except for her father.
But she also knew in her heart that if it weren't for Renault's great trust in her, it would be impossible for her to hand over Sequoia Town to manage it.
The sense of disparity in my heart, as well as the sense of contradiction, made Momiji hang his head and be silent for a long time.
Anna looked at her quietly, at such a time, she could only help Momiji with vegetables and choose what she liked to eat.
In any case, everything will pass.
The first mayor's meeting unfolded in such a delicate atmosphere.
Renault helped Momiji plan some functional departments, but she needed to find the candidates herself, and talked about rebuilding the lord's mansion and the guards.
"Anna, are you really reluctant to stay and help me?" Momiji asked regretfully.
"Lord Momiji, do you remember my five subordinates in the past, they are all excellent soldiers now, and they will assist you by your side instead of me, as for me, ......" Anna's voice paused, and then slightly spread a pair of black wings behind her back.
Even though it was covered by a cloak, the autumn leaves were still shocked to see at close range.
After all, they are not human wings.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not the right person to stay in Sequoia right now. Anna said softly.
Seeing that Momiji's face was gloomy, she continued, "Don't worry, I will come to see you often." ”
As he was talking, there was a dull thunder in the sky, and Yuki and Momiji, who had been eating with their heads bored, raised their heads at the same time and glanced at the sky in the distance through the window, with a faint trace of unease in their hearts.
