As the summer got hotter, the people of the estate were idle, and an extra two hours of lunch break were given each day.

From half past eleven to two o'clock in the afternoon, the slaves could lie down and sleep under the shed, in the shade of the trees, or go downstream to bathe and catch fish.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Saliel changed into the cool dress she wore when she went to bed in the morning.

As she took goat's milk from the kitchen and went upstairs to drink it, Saliel saw Lawrence sitting by the window of the corridor on the second floor, blowing the wind.

"Lawrence, what are you doing?"

Lawrence took a brush made of hair and wrote small letters on the board, raised his head and continued to look outside, and said, "Perfecting the manor law." ”

"Oh." Sariel quickly went back to her room without asking about anything specific.

Lawrence continued to bow his head and perfect his manor law.

Lawrence also found that he had given too many benefits to many slaves and captives on the estate.

In the future, more people will definitely join the estate, and in order to better set the hierarchy, there needs to be a set of strict estate laws.

For example, how long does it take for a slave to be free, and how long does it take to become a serf.

What kind of credit does everyone need to make, and what kind of reward can they get.

The consequence of setting rewards indiscriminately is that you don't know how to reward them in the end.

Now these people are not all the same, for example, the first to follow Seravin is not the same as the recent Bhumithes, and it is not the same as those Western slaves who have been exchanged as slaves.

Freedom shouldn't be so cheap, and these people need to pay some price for it.

The contribution of farming in the fields should not be greater than the contribution of those who were born and died and fought against invaders.

Unrestricted tolerance does not allow the estate to develop rapidly, and most people do not actually want to work, which is nature.

Lawrence bowed his head and divided several classes into several grades, thinking about the contribution required for each class promotion.

In the future, serfs will not be promoted because they have been farming, and the promised conditions will give them freedom when the time comes.

What if you have freedom? Leaving here and returning to my hometown, I am not free again.

When the time comes, if you want to stay, it depends on whether you are willing to give them a chance.

How to acquire their own land and houses, these are the rules and regulations of the estate.

A clear promotion system, written in the manor law, will make the rest of the people more aware of their own situation, and know that they have to work hard to do what they want to get, rather than dealing with things all day long.

After a little down and resting on the couch for more than half an hour, Lawrence woke up and went to the bulletin board to write down his plans for the coming week.

June 1: Felling trees, washing clothes, drying clothes and bedding, clearing farmland, making large wooden basins.

June 2: Felling, watering, building a warehouse

June 3: Logging, building warehouses, cleaning barrels.

4th of June: Logging, harvesting potatoes, bathing.

June 5: Logging, processing potatoes, building cellars.

June 6: Felling, processing potatoes, building cellars.

June 7: Logging in the morning, church prayers, and half a day off in the afternoon.

Today is the last day of May, and the first potatoes will ripen in four or five days.

In addition to those harvested for food, ten acres of potatoes from fifteen acres will be processed into potato starch.

To process potatoes into starch, manpower and tools are needed, starting with machines that crush potatoes.

You can build a rectangular pool of water with bricks, and then set up a high stone trough on one side of the pool, put the potatoes in it and beat it by hand, and the starch water will flow from the bottom of the trough to the pool.

However, this efficiency is too slow, and it will be much easier if you use water power.

The cistern does not require Delen's sorcery, and the people of the manor themselves can build a good cistern out of bricks and sand.

The main thing is the mixer.

Lawrence was stuck in this step for a long time, and he still couldn't think of a suitable processing method.

Early in the morning of June 1st, Lawrence was in the kitchen watching the slave girls chopping vegetables, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he had a good idea!

"I'm so stupid! Even if you don't have a blender, you can grind the potatoes by hand! ”

"I always thought that I needed a hydraulic mill or a stone mill to press potatoes, but I didn't need to."

"Just make a peeler out of iron and wood, rub the potatoes on it a few times to process them into minced potatoes, and then put them in a basin to slowly settle and process!"

There are many types of peelers, but shredding potatoes is just one of them, and if you make a lot of raised holes in the iron sheet, you can use a grinder to grind the potatoes into a more crumbly foamy shape.

Potato starch, like sweet potato flour, is precipitated over and over again, not the last residue.

Most of the potatoes are still boiled and eaten, processed into starch mainly for easy preservation, and the leaves are used to feed pigs, sheep and chickens.

Potato flour is only made for a few people to eat, so there is nothing to process slowly, and most of the potatoes are best hidden in the cellar, so that they can be stored for two or three months without spoiling.

After having a rough plan, Lawrence did not go to the blacksmith to make the grinder, but took Delenn and Saliel to Los Angeles.

Loshanda was able to control magma flames and was much more skilled than blacksmiths in crafting ironware.

After saying what she wanted and giving her a jar of honey, Losanda happily made five all-copper grinders out of copper sheets.

Each grinder is 30 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and one centimeter thick, and is shaped like a washboard-like copper plate with many round holes protruding, and the edge of the round holes is used to grind potatoes into potato pulp.

On the way back, Delen said, "I've been away for three or four months, and it's still the same in the tribe. ”

"Most of the time, it's a good thing that nothing has changed," Lawrence said. ”

Delenn didn't think this was a good thing, he used to think that the tribe needed him, and it wasn't until he saw real life with Lawrence that he realized how lazy his group was.

The potatoes in the fields begin to be harvested, and seventeen acres of potatoes will ripen one after another, and these potatoes will become the staple food for a long time to come.

Lawrence planned potatoes as a staple food, as well as potatoes for potato flour.

Potato flour can be used not only to make fried chicken, but also to make potato vermicelli.

Under the current conditions, it is almost possible to make pork stewed vermicelli.

Although it is not an authentic potato vermicelli, it is also nice to have a knock-off in such a troublesome place.

Lawrence thought about the pork stew vermicelli, and naturally he wouldn't let go of another chicken stew with mushrooms.

The output of potatoes has alleviated the food crisis, and both the wheat harvested after a while and the wheat exchanged before can be used to their heart's content.

After eating bread for so many years, it's time to change the taste and eat some pasta!
