Chapter 18: The Differences of the Years, II
After Grover's death, Abel Larry became the new butler.
Regarding how to bury Grover, Su Mo suddenly thought of a sentence he had seen:
"Between life and death, six feet under."
It is said that this is a Western tradition that people are buried six feet deep in the ground after death, so six feet below means to be buried or die.
However, considering that the world of "Mystery" has extraordinary powers, a simple burial may have the risk of corpse transformation, even if it becomes a white bone, it may be used by people with ulterior motives, just like Mr. Azik's child in the original book......
So Su Mo finally chose cremation, buried Grover's urn in a corner of the manor, and then simply erected a monument.
After Abel, the original farming expert, was promoted to a housekeeper, he also began to take over the bookkeeping and collection of materials that Grover was responsible for, and he had to shorten the time for cultivating the land.
Summer took on Abel's work in the fields.
After Antonio's arrival, he was actually a lot lazy.
When he first started planting sauna fruits, because this thing was very easy to feed, and because of the short maturity period, the energy paid was quickly fed, Su Mo still did some farm work himself, and he also felt a sense of accomplishment when he saw the shoots and flowers blossom and bear fruit.
The new crop is delicate and expensive, and the growth cycle is different, but it is generally quadruple and quadruple compared with the sauna fruit...... There are also all kinds of troubles that make him anxious in the follow-up, and in this case, Su Mo uses his pen far more often than he does it.
He is usually responsible for the selection of seeds after harvest, and even the time spent tossing new farming tools is longer than the time it takes to go to the field to plant......
It's no wonder that after three days of working in the fields, during a break, Antonio would express his dislike in a sincere tone:
"You're so weak."
Sumer: "......"
- You're insulting me!
- How did I insult you?
- You told the truth......
Su Mo fluctuated, this evaluation is better than a pot of chicken soup.
He took it more seriously than when he taught himself Russian, and dedicatedly asked Abel, Blake, and Antonio for the most basic farming skills:
Harrowing, plowing, weeding......
Seedling, transplanting, sowing......
Seedling, watering, fertilization......
Cultivating, hoeing, loosening soil......
Su Mo recorded a book full of key point analysis, crumpled the knowledge and fed it into his mouth, and then turned the theory into practice.
While pouring himself with a "tranquility potion", he took the trouble to continue to cheer up:
I'm Su Mo all my life, and I'm not weaker than others!
Su Mo's tenacious spirit of breaking the south wall and continuing to walk, and never looking back, directly inspired Blake's artistic creation, and in his spare time, he created a series of works such as "Adults Ploughing", "Adults Weeding", "Adults Planting Rice", "Adults Watering" and so on......
Later, through Sumer's kind guidance, Blake shifted his creative direction to the drawing and sketching of various plants.
Su Mo, who was still thinking about the illustrations of the crop information for nothing, flipped through the artistically exaggerated drawing paper in his hand and fell silent.
Look at the abundant fruits, look at the dense crops, look at the golden rice and the green of spring water......
Although Blake drew very well, and even traveled into the future on the spot and drew his ideal ultimate goal, this cannot be used as a rigorous data illustration!
Su Mo sat at the desk for a while, then sighed: "...... Forget it, just support Blake to develop a hobby. ”
Su Mo ran to farm, Blake was obsessed with art, and Abel unknowingly took on the responsibility of cooking......
Not long after using Sanglaleba for "will training", after noticing that the ingredients of the sauna fruit were not quite right, Su Mo forcibly stopped the three of Grover from continuing to eat Sanglaleba, and changed the recipe to blood tofu made from animal blood, and then served it with various grilled fish, grilled meat, and vegetable soup.
Although the cost of food is much higher, there are only four of them in total, and it is not unaffordable to count Antonio into eight.
At the beginning, Su Mo was not used to drinking blood directly, so he taught Grover how to make blood tofu, and then Grover taught Abel and Blake, which was passed down from generation to generation to some extent.
However, due to his expertise in farming, Abel spent most of his time playing in the field and had not touched the kitchen many times, so his first formal cooking was under the guidance of Su Mo......
This trial was an unexpected surprise, Abel is actually quite talented in cooking!
The first time I cooked, the dishes were so good that I could even praise the deliciousness, especially his homemade blood tofu.
The blood tofu made by Abel was tender and refreshing, delicate and not fishy, and even Antonio showed a thoughtful expression when he ate it for the first time, and it was very certain that the chef must have changed.
Abel who discovered his new specialty invested great enthusiasm in cooking, and was inspired by Su Mo's "seasoning" once a year, and was determined to use this as a basis to research better blood tofu, and then launched 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4...... version.
When Abel researched the blood tofu to version 1.8, even Su Mo couldn't help but joke: "You are so focused on blood tofu, and after another twenty-two years of doing it, it is estimated that you will be able to win the name of 'Blood Tofu Immortal'." ”
He had already popularized the concept of years, months and days to several people twelve years ago, so there was no problem in understanding it.
What aroused Abel's curiosity was another word: "'Blood Tofu Immortal'?" Immortals, what's that? ”
"Immortals......" Su Mo pondered for a moment before explaining to him, "You know the elves, right?" The word immortal comes from the homeland of the elves, and originally meant a person who is immortal and has all kinds of magical powers, and later after a certain extension, it can be used to describe a person who has outstanding skills in a certain field. ”
"Outstanding Skill ......"
Abel muttered repeatedly.
You have such high hopes for me! There was a star-like glint in his eyes.
Abel patted his chest vigorously and said with great ambition:
"Don't worry, my lord! I will definitely become what you call a 'blood tofu immortal'!" ”
He set up a bold ambition and worked more diligently to improve the blood tofu.
But the job still needs to be done......
When he went out to buy supplies, Abel did not come back for a long time.
Summer tossed the hoe to Antonio, then took off his gloves, washed his hands with the clean water he had hit, and spread his dark wings and flew away from the manor.
A map of William City, a street where supplies were sourced, and the routes that were commonly used......
All kinds of information swirled in his head, and Summer landed on Herot Street in William City.
The night still seems to be eternally deep, but the routine of life is still there, the streets are sparsely populated, and the whole street is covered with silence.
Su Mo squinted his eyes slightly, silently glanced at the chaotic street, came to a shop that had not yet closed, and asked if there was anything "new" happening on the street today.
The shopkeeper didn't really want to talk to a simple and honest half-breed when he saw him, but after Su Mo took out a silver dinar coin, he quickly changed his smiling face.
"Today's novelty......"
The boss quickly put away the silver coins, and then pondered for a long time.
"It didn't seem like anything special, it was a normal day...... If you really want to say it......"
He informed Summer that not long ago, a horse-drawn carriage had lost control on the street and was said to have killed several people.
"Why didn't I see the body?" Su Mo asked softly.
"I was taken away by the 'waste pickers'." The boss replied nonchalantly, and laughed hesitantly, "This is a new product, very sought-after." ”
Su Mo thanked him and asked for the addresses of a few more "scavengers".
He made three trips and finally found Abel's broken body from a half-breed "scavenger".
Under the vigilant scrutiny of the Scavengers, Su Mo rummaged through the severed limbs, trying to piece together a complete humanoid form.
In the end, he spent five copper coins to buy Abel, who could barely see the appearance of a human.
There is an extra monument in the corner of the manor.
