Chapter 101: Two Friends
Every day in the town is spent in hustle and bustle, and everyone can find their own thing to do without feeling empty.
After another month of busyness, the sugar extraction work has been completed, and a total of more than 5,000 catties of cane sugar have been boiled, and now all of them are made into one by one and placed in the warehouse.
At this point, he was ready to go to the winery, and after a month of maceration and fermentation, he should now be ready to press and fill the barrels.
When they arrived, they saw that the children of Swell were directing the transfer of the grapes in the pool to a large vat, and at the bottom of the barrel there were small holes that needed to be densely packed, and the wine flowed from the small holes to the oak heads below.
Then a few people took a wooden board and put it on it, and then put the stones on it, and as the weight increased, the plank slowly pressed down, and the grapes were pressed continuously.
In a few moments, the planks also fell to the bottom of the barrel, and the wine in the grapes had been drained, leaving only a pile of lees.
Looking at the crimson wine in the barrel, Su Lin was about to taste it when he suddenly saw Shi An running in again, and directly snatched the glass in his hand, and then poured it into his mouth in one gulp.
Immediately after that, the expression on her face became richer, her brows furrowed instantly, and the next second she spit out the wine in her mouth, and said at the same time: "Why is it so unpalatable, and it's very bitter." ”
"It's normal, the freshly brewed wine is relatively strong, and there is an astringency, so you have to leave it for about half a year before you can drink it. Surin explained with a smile.
He then asked Swell and others to be in charge of putting the wine into barrels and transporting it to the cellar, and told them to change the barrels after three months.
After doing all this, Surin felt that there was really nothing to do now, and the people in the town began to sow seeds in the field again, and he also felt more idle.
He had also harvested the seeds of rapeseed and sesame seeds, and then pressed them into oil, but now the town has more and more seasonings.
When he had nothing to do, he took the chili powder out to bask in the sun again so as not to get damp.
Shi An still had palpitations after seeing these chili powders, and the previous scene of being rectified by Su Lin also appeared in front of him, and then walked up to him and said, "Why don't we go to the sea to play in the afternoon?"
"Yes!"
Su Lin agreed directly, he has been thinking about making a few dishes with chili peppers, and when the time comes, he can go to the sea to catch a few lobsters and crabs.
Then he went to the blacksmith's shop, and asked the blacksmith to make some cutlery, mainly knives and forks, and now it was necessary to change the habit of people to grasp them with their hands.
Soon he took Shi'an and the girls to the beach.
When Prang saw them coming, he also greeted them and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
"We're going to sea later, so get ready and send a ship with us. Surin looked up at the two flags on the mast, one with a lion's head and one with a navy, fluttering in the wind.
After they waited for it to be uploaded, Surin let Prang anchor and stop in the shallow sea outside.
Seeing this, Shi'an also stood up from the sun lounger and asked, "Why don't you leave, haven't you gone far?"
Su Lin waved his hand and smiled, "How about we eat lobster at night?"
Hearing this, Shi'an's eyes immediately widened, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it a lobster with two pairs of tongs?"
"That's right!"
"That's okay, I've eaten it before, the meat is quite tender, but the taste is very average. ”
Surin stood on the deck and looked at the sea, because it is a shallow area, it is only more than two meters deep, and the current is relatively turbulent, and lobsters prefer to live in groups in this kind of place.
Then Praun jumped into the water with some sailors with nets, and they were the main force of lobster catchers.
Then he looked at Shi'an and asked, "Will you go down?"
Felicia and Debi shook their heads, only Shi'an nodded vigorously, as if they could eat lobsters if they went down.
Immediately afterwards, Su Lin also planted it headlessly, and then came to the bottom of the beach in an instant, opened his eyes and found that there were many lobsters below, and they were very large, basically about four catties, and he didn't dare to reach out to catch them.
After Shi'an went into the water, she also saw colorful lobsters, but watching them waving the pair of big pincers, she could only watch from afar.
Su Lin grabbed one with the guts, and after surfacing the water, she put the lobster in front of Shi'an, she also took it carefully, ready to look good, after all, when she was in Curtis, lobster was also a very expensive ingredient, and she couldn't eat it every day.
However, after taking it, the big lobster was not honest, and turned the big tongs to pinch her hand, and Shi'an was also startled when he saw this, so he hurriedly threw it on it.
At this time, Felicia and Debi were lying on their chairs basking in the sun, when they suddenly saw a dark shadow flying up.
Seeing this, Felicia immediately stood up and kicked it out, and the lobster flew out like a football.
Su Lin and Shi An in the water were also dumbfounded when they saw this scene, and Shi An shouted loudly: "My lobster, why did you fly like this?"
After a while, Pran and the other sailors also came out of the water, and the net pockets in their hands were full of large lobsters.
Seeing this, Su Lin couldn't help but sigh that it was a blessing at night.
While he was pondering and sighing, suddenly Felicia's voice rang out: "Not good, there is a fleet coming. ”
Hearing this, Su Lin also turned around and found that a group of small black dots in the distance were slowly sailing over, but he could vaguely see that it was a ship, and there were quite a few of them, more than twenty of them.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" asked Prang in a deep voice when he saw the ships.
"Go back first, then make observations. ”
Looking at these fleets at the first moment, Su Lin became vigilant, after all, the other party did not distinguish between friend and foe, and it was impossible for him to rush to meet him, so it was better to retreat for the time being.
Soon the group returned to the shore, and Surin took Felicia and their hands and walked ashore, and if the other party did not come well, they had to organize men to deal with it.
At this time, Prang smiled again and said to Surin: "Your Majesty, I see that they are waving flags and signaling us, as if they are just ordinary merchant ships. ”
After hearing this, Su Lin breathed a sigh of relief, but in order to prevent any accidents, he still asked Felicia and the three of them to go back and prepare first.
Then he stood on the shore with Prang and the others, waiting for the ships to come to shore to see who would come here.
As the fleet continued to get closer, Su Lin couldn't help but smile on his face, and when he saw Jerif standing on the deck waving to him, he also secretly said in his heart: It's finally time for you.
After the boat docked, Surin also greeted him, then walked towards Jeff, then shook his hand and smiled, "Welcome to Loggo." ”
"I did my best to get here this time, and you can't let me down!" said Jeff with a smile, and this time he also took half of the family property to organize the voyage.
"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed. Surin replied confidently.
Then Geriff pulled over a forty-year-old uncle who was the same age as him, but was fatter, and said, "This is my best friend, Constan, and he seems to be okay to come with me." ”
Su Lin also welcomed him while looking at him, and then he saw a lot of people walking down from the boat, all with yellow faces and thin muscles, carrying a bag on their backs, most of them were young men, and they knew about two thousand people.
Jerev also opened his mouth to explain at this time: "These people are all recruited by me in Nadessi Harbor, and they are here to dig salt mines for me, and they are very cheap, just one silver coin a month. ”
Su Lin only smiled at this, he promised to give him the salt mine before, so naturally he had to do what he said, seeing that they didn't have people who worked, and a group of guards.
Then he said to Jeff, "Then I'll take you to the salt mine first!"
"Alright, let's go!"
Then he led Jeff and Constan to the salt mines by the sea.
After a while, they came to the salt mine, and Jereve looked at the large salt mine in front of him, and his heart was also happy, seeing that he could mine for at least ten years in front of him, and he couldn't help laughing when he thought of it.
At the same time, a group of 1,000 horsemen were galloping across the steppe, their costumes embroidered with red roses, led by Boldon and Alice.
"Brother, why haven't you arrived after a week?" Alice looked tired as she rode her horse.
"You girl, you have to come to see Su Lin, I'm tired now. Berry said angrily that he was quite comfortable in the city, but he dragged himself here.
Seeing that he actually ignored herself, Alice also snorted coldly, and then quickly ran forward with a whip.
After running for another four or five hours, they saw a huge tower of human heads appear in front of them, and there was a large pile of skeletons next to it, which seemed to be half-orcs.
After seeing this human head tower, Alice couldn't help but feel a chill behind her, and she could feel how heroic the battle was at that time.
While they were in a daze, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed from a distance and quickly surrounded them.
At this time, one of the leaders walked out and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
"We're here to find Surin, and I want you to let me know. ”
Brown saw that they were all extremely strong, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, for fear that they would suddenly burst out.
"What is the matter with your majesty?" the man continued.
When the two of them heard the words Your Majesty, the doubts in their hearts became even greater, thinking to themselves when Surin would become a king, and he was not just a duke before!
"Haha, it's you!"
