"You came back, you didn't come back at noon, I left you food."

Saliel took the initiative to stand up and beckoned the two of them.

Andrew also stood there with an axe and greeted, "Lawrence, how is it up the hill?" ”

Lawrence replied, "I can't live there, I'm looking for a suitable place to build a house." ”

Andrew proposed, "Don't bother so much, just stay with me, and you can hunt with me." ”

Andrew's proposal is a good one, he thinks so.

Lawrence didn't want that, "Thank you for your kindness, I'm going to take another look." ”

"Okay." Andrew was not reluctant, let alone felt that Lawrence would be able to find a good place and build a good cabin.

Sariel persuaded Lawrence as he approached: "It's cold in many parts of the mountain, even the dom sheep don't want to spend the night on the mountain, and if you build a house, you need to carry wood from the bottom of the mountain to the top, and you can carry a log up a day?" ”

In the mountains, even a distance of 100 meters is a very long road.

Without the tools, it is basically a matter of days to cut wood from the forest in front of you and transport it to another place in sight.

Not to mention that things are not so simple, and now that the roads have not even been repaired, the work efficiency will only be several times more complicated.

"I'll figure it out, now I'll find a suitable place first." Lawrence didn't have a good idea, but he didn't intend to give up either.

Sariel was a little annoyed and didn't say anything, quickly sat down and went about her own business.

Lawrence and Sophia went into the house to eat, and today's meal was significantly worse than yesterday's.

The more obvious thing is that there are no eggs.

This is not surprising, as chickens in the coop do not lay eggs every day, and eggs cannot be eaten every day.

The previous meal should have been stock, and a lot of eggs should have been the currency for going to the mountain to exchange for daily necessities, and it was only because he saved Andrew that he took them out and entertained a few meals.

The days when there were eggs and meat to eat every day were a little too dreamy.

Even so, there were five loaves of bread and three strips of meat the length of chewing gum on the table.

Lawrence gave Sophia a strip of meat, "Hurry up and eat, we'll go check it out when we're full!" ”

"Yes, master!" Sophia quickly devoured it, and when she was growing her body, her appetite was obviously more exuberant than that of the average person.

Lawrence just wanted to find a habitat as quickly as possible, preferably a cave, so he could move.

For the next few days, Lawrence and Sophia spent the next few days searching for suitable foundations in the mountains.

Every time she returned, Sariel's attitude became more silent, and the food soon ran out of meat.

"Lawrence." Andrew called out to Lawrence, who was going out to find a location.

Lawrence stood there and asked, "What's wrong, Andrew." ”

Andrew said helplessly: "In the past few days, Sariel and I have harvested the pumpkins in the field, and after cleaning up the field, we will plant peas today, you and we will teach you how to grow peas." ”

Lawrence then thought that there was more pumpkin in his meals these days, and he realized why Sariel didn't seem to want to talk these days.

The work in the field is definitely not as simple as hands-on, after five or six hours of tiring farm work, let alone talking, even if there is a beautiful woman next to you, you don't want to move.

Picking, carrying, storing, these things can only be done by Andrew and Sariel.

Lawrence remembered that he and Sophia had eaten and drunk for nothing in the past few days, and others had been working all day, which was indeed very bad.

"Okay, I often do farm work when I am at home, such as potatoes, peas, wheat, I have planted and harvested, but I have only seen pumpkins, and I don't know how to grow them."

Andrew was very happy, "Since you have worked in the farm, it is simple, potatoes and peas are our main food here, especially peas!" ”

"Peas last a long time, and they are the best when eaten with bacon meat!"

Andrew's cultivated farmland has more than a dozen acres, in addition to carefully planted fields of wheat and pea and pumpkin, there are also grasses such as oats that grow at will.

Pasture grass can be eaten or fed to livestock.

Usually, if there is enough food, it will be used as feed, and if the food is not enough, it will be mixed into the staple food to fill the stomach.

Although two people can take care of more than a dozen acres of land, if there is a helper, it must be a very good thing!

The house was not large, and Sariel, who was preparing to work in the field, also heard the conversation of the men outside.

Andrew happily walked into the house and shouted to Saliel, who had just walked out of the door, "Saliel, Lawrence is going to work in the fields with us today. ”

Sariel nodded at Lawrence, "I'll go get you hats, it's easy to sweat when you're working in the fields, and your sweaty head will soon get sick when the wind blows in the mountains." ”

"Good!" Lawrence naturally understands this, and even in aristocratic estates, many people wear headscarves when they work.

Although it was only a simple conversation, Lawrence felt that Sariel had softened himself a lot.

Compared with appearance and other factors, it seems that whether you can work here or not has a considerable high score bonus.

Even if the first impression should be good, the subsequent behavior of not working and eating idle meals will quickly wear out this kindness.

These were normal behaviors, but Lawrence didn't say much, and quietly followed him to the field.

Andrew was very happy to have two healthy workers joined.

"In addition to wheat, peas are the most food for next year, and this year's potato harvest is not good, so I have replaced the potato field with peas, and I will plant potatoes after a year of rest."

Lawrence agreed: "It's a good plan, if the people outside are as good at taking care of the land as Andrew, the harvest on the estate will definitely increase a lot!" ”

In this era, there was no rotation system, mainly because iron tools were not yet popular, coupled with the shortage of animal power, resulting in a very backward period of agricultural technology.

However, the land fertility of this era was also very strong, and most areas did not have problems such as nutrient insufficiency.

Andrew was even happier, "Maybe we can cultivate more farmland!" ”

Lawrence really needs farmland to provide a steady supply of food, "Good idea, Sophia and I can help with the farm work, or we can work together to cultivate new land, and I can get paid for some of the output of the land." ”

Andrew quickly shook his head, "No, I don't want to be a knight. ”

Lawrence smiled: "I don't want to take advantage of it, let Andrew put down your own things and help me, it's better like this, I help with the work every day, and I will take care of our meals for a day when I do a day's work." ”

"That way, once we find a place to live and food, we can move with confidence."

Andrew frowned, realizing that Lawrence had no intention of staying.

But thinking that his daughter didn't want to get married, Andrew suddenly became even more helpless.

"Okay, for now."

Lawrence quickly concentrated on his work, and under Andrew's teaching, he became familiar with pea cultivation, which was somewhat different from that of the plains.

If you don't pay attention, you'll get hungry.

The pea seeds are not green fruits, and the ripe pea seeds are very dry grains.

Peas are semi-cold-tolerant crops, like mild and humid climates, not tolerant to dry and heat, do not have high requirements for soil quality, and are very suitable for the current environment.

Lawrence predicted that next year or the year after, a great famine would sweep through the entire kingdom of Loven!

At that time, having enough to eat would be a luxury.
