Chapter 22 Rubbing Rice? Go out and turn left to go to the tavern
In the face of Barker's questioning, Goodern just smiled and did not respond.
Now it is natural to see the performance of manganese steel ingots, but if it is made into a finished product, it is natural to see its amazing performance when you compare it.
However, Goodern did not plan to show the performance of this manganese steel ingot in advance, after all, the mine itself is not fully capable of eating it.
Exposing the performance of manganese steel ingots in advance will only increase the trouble, as the old saying goes, make a fortune in silence, this is the right path of development.
Goodern casually took a hammer from the side and struck the manganese steel ingot twice, and when he was sure that there was no chipping, it was already considered a successful smelting.
"I'll take this ingot first, and I'll hand over the ore on the cart to you to help refine it, and I'll let old Joseph pay the money."
"You also saw the refining method just now, remember to keep it in a dry and ventilated place after refining, and I will send someone to pick it up."
"Yes lord," Buck nodded, then glanced at the modified furnace and asked with some embarrassment.
"Also, my lord, after refining these minerals, can you, ...... Borrow a furnace. ”
Buck said that he was a little embarrassed, after all, the forges were already considered the property of the lord.
I took the liberty of borrowing it, and I was also curious about this thing, how did this break through the limit of temperature?
"No problem, as long as I give priority to completing my task, you can take care of the rest of the assignment."
Gooden was not stingy either, and borrowed it directly from the blacksmith.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Without getting a reprimand, Buck hurriedly thanked him.
Goodern waved his hand absently, then handed the manganese steel ingot to the soldier to take back to the castle, while he went to the carpenter to order some chopsticks.
When he invited him to the banquet yesterday, he wanted to get a pair of chopsticks, and it was a bit strange to use a knife, fork and spoon to eat.
But it's too late to build it ready-made, so I can only wait until today to arrange it.
When he came to the carpenter, he told his requirements one by one, and the other party also said that it was simple, and it didn't take a while to build a few pairs of chopsticks.
And things like payments, Goodern said, will let Joseph Sr. come.
Anyway, as a lord, it's not a big deal to give a small account on credit.
After returning to the castle, Goodern did not immediately test the manganese ingots, but plunged headfirst into the kitchen.
Although the otherworldly food is not so difficult to eat, the taste is bland, and it really does not meet Goodern's appetite.
And he can't stand the cycle of bread, vegetable soup, and stewed barbecue.
It's better to teach these maids now, so that they can learn the essence of Chinese cuisine, so that they don't need to do it themselves in the future.
In the kitchen, Goodern was kneading some dough out of the group, planning to make noodles for noon, and then use the surplus to make dumplings and buns and other foods.
The process of kneading flour, a kind of maid can be described as a commonplace, and it will be arranged after a while.
But then the technique taught by Master Gooden was a little new, simply spreading lard on the dough, and then kneading and stretching.
Then pull the head and tail together, stretch it again and again, and so on, and soon the thick dough has become a slender noodle.
The maids who watched in a circle were all amazed.
"Young master, how did you do this, you can make such a thin dough stretch for so long and keep ......"
"Young master, how can you bake it like this?"
"Hey, I don't understand, young master, this is a new dish, just like last night's kind!"
……
The chatter of the maids was a bit noisy, but Goodern was not disgusted.
This is the correct life of a nobleman in another world!
After briefly teaching some ramen techniques, Goodern sorted out some people and began rolling the dough to prepare for the dumplings.
"The skin can't be too thick, it's not too thin, that's pretty much it, and don't forget to sprinkle a layer of cornstarch on top of each other to prevent them from sticking together......"
Goodborn was teaching everyone how to roll their skins when a maid suddenly came to the kitchen to make an announcement.
"Young Master, the patriarch of the Charleson family, Lord Baron Gergil has come to visit, and is now waiting for you in the living room, and the old butler is receiving you."
Listening to this long list of names, Gooden was stunned, what is the Charleson patriarch here for?
Is it possible that you are still here to collect debts?
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
"Got it, you go ahead and entertain, I'll come over later."
The maid who had come to inform her delivered the news and returned to the parlor to entertain her.
"Just finish this pile of noodles, roll out the dough slowly, don't worry, leave this pile of dough here and don't touch it, and I'll make arrangements when I come back."
"Okay, young master!"
The four maids spoke at the same time, responding crisply.
Goodern nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Erin.
"If I haven't come back later, remember to prepare the side dishes in advance."
"Hmm." Erin nodded in understanding.
After arranging the kitchen, Goodern did not go directly to the meeting, but first washed off the dust on his body before moving to the living room.
"Baron Gergil, do you have something important to tell me personally?"
Entering the living room, Goodern asked the other party loudly, but without much expression on his face, he strode to his seat.
"Where, some time ago, Young Master Gooden was attacked, and I originally wanted to come and visit in person."
"But it's a pity that the border is turbulent, and I have to deal with some things personally, so I'm only a little late, but I'm relieved to see that Young Master Gooden is recovering so well."
Faced with Gergil's false concern, Goodern only asked back lightly.
"Are you worried that I'm dead and won't be able to pay off my debts?"
"Forehead ......"
Being asked so bluntly, Gegil was also a little embarrassed on his face, and quickly explained.
"This incident was an accident, Master Goodern, I sent Carol here just to find out about your condition and see if I can help."
"But I didn't expect this bastard Carol to bring up this matter privately, and I have already punished him, hoping to dispel your anger."
Gooden naturally didn't believe this explanation, but because of the false friendship, he could only nod his head in agreement.
At this time, Gergil could also see Gooden's distrust, so he took a deep breath and told him about his visit today.
"Young Master Gooden, it was an accident that you were burdened with this debt, I have discussed it with Baron Bertaya, the lord of Songhai, and this debt will no longer be borne by you, but by Baron Bertaya."
"Huh? It's true?! ”
Ggier's words surprised Goodern a little, the other party came today to forgive his debts?
"Of course, I've also brought the contract, it's mine, it's Baron Battaya's."
With that, Gergil took two sheepskin scrolls from his bosom and handed them to Goodern, a standard deed in triplicate.
Gooden also has one in his own hand, and now the other party has given these two to himself, as long as he destroys these three contracts, then the debt of the three hundred gold coins will completely disappear from the world.
Unfolded the parchment, glanced at the contents of the treaty on it, and there was no problem.
Accepting the contract, Gooden nodded and said perfunctorily.
"Thank you both."
"Besides, is there anything else?"
"Uh...... Gone? ”
"Oh, let's go, I don't care about food at noon, if you want to eat, go out and turn left to go to the tavern, it should already be open."
“……”
"Alright, Master Goodern, take your leave."
