When Lawrence returned to the estate, he brought back a variety of sea vegetables.

These moist kelps in a frame caught Delen's attention.

"What are these?"

Lawrence looked at the sea vegetables in the basket, "There are many kinds of sea vegetables, including kelp, wakame, seaweed, and most of them have to be dried and preserved, and a small part of them are eaten directly, which is very delicious." ”

Keharan came out of the house and asked curiously, "It's delicious?" ”

Generally, what Lawrence says is delicious, the taste will definitely not be bad.

Lawrence smiled: "Yes, I won't get tired of eating it often in the future, I'll make a meal and try it, and if you two have nothing to do, you two can help take these cleaned sea vegetables to dry." ”

Sophia quickly touched the basket with one hand, "I'm here to help, too!" Can I eat this straight? ”

"No, you can't." Saril said in a very good mood: "We ate boiled kelp in Dumu Village today, and it tastes delicious in bite!" ”

A few people looked at the leaves of these seaweed in the basket, some looked like leaves, some looked like branches, they didn't look very delicious, they were not as beautiful as fruits and vegetables, and they all looked ugly.

With Lawrence's word of mouth assured, several witches and maids are very much looking forward to it.

Navia and Brielier walked over.

"Master, is Colin gone?"

"Let's go, Durella's merchant will take her home."

Brielier said gratefully, "Thank you, master. ”

Lawrence walked over to the well, "Don't mention that person again, she didn't help me much, but she didn't do anything sorry for me. ”

"Yes!" The two nuns help to clean the seaweed and clean up the kitchen for cooking.

Colin's two years of labor have been exchanged for her freedom, and there is nothing to be owed between the two parties.

Without the misfit Colin, Navia and Brielier are more likely to fit in.

Lawrence quickly mixed a plate of kelp and brought it to the table.

"Come and have a taste."

Lawrence beckoned, and the nearby witch quickly approached, looking curiously at the green seaweed on the plate.

Without waiting for the rest of the people to do anything, Lawrence himself took a piece of kelp with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

Creak~

The cool and smooth taste makes this dish never get tired of eating, Lawrence said with great satisfaction: "Collect more kelp in the future, this thing can be stored for a long time after drying, and it can be eaten in spring, summer, autumn and winter." ”

Delun and the others quickly stretched out their hands, some reached out directly, and some used chopsticks.

Suspiciously, Delen grabbed a few sticks of kelp and stuffed them into his mouth, and after the first bite he fell in love with the chewy seaweed.

It is very comfortable to eat and has a good taste, and every time you bite into it, you will feel very happy and comfortable.

Sophia smiled happily and looked at Lawrence expectantly: "Master, is it okay to eat this every day in the future?" ”

"Yes, there's a lot more to that." Lawrence also wanted to enrich the meal and make the menu a little more varied.

But there was still a lot to do, and Lawrence quickly dropped his chopsticks and said, "You guys study how to eat deliciously, I'll go to work." ”

"Good!" Sophia shouted obediently: "The master has worked hard! ”

Lawrence went out and continued to be busy with the water wheel, and this year's harvest must have been much more wheat than last year's, and when the time comes, labor will have to be freed up to build houses and exercise, or commercial and military problems, so it is better to get the waterwheel mill out in advance, and then a few people can grind flour all the time.

In terms of technique, I wanted to train Sophia, but Sophia obviously didn't have this talent.

Lawrence walked to the water-powered mill with some headaches, it was difficult to find skilled craftsmen in this savage area, the blacksmith's side was already a coincidence, and the carpenters were concentrated in the boatmen and builders, and it was difficult to find anyone who could understand the water-powered mill.

Just as Lawrence walked to the half-finished watermill, he saw a familiar woman looking at his windmill.

"Mother, are you interested in this?"

Seeing that Loshanda was interested in this, Lawrence walked over and opened the sink baffle to allow nearby water to pass through a wooden pipe, and then the water that flowed out fell onto the blades that could hold the water.

Each fan blade has a sloping sink that uses the flow of water to add weight to press down and rotate.

The hydro-powered mill is currently only finished with wheels and a few gears, there is no link to the mill, and several exchanged gears are missing.

What Loshanda saw was the water rushing to rotate the wheel, and a rotating wooden pole connected to a nearby gear began to rotate.

"You're going to use this to push the stone mill?" Loshanda was a little curious about how to do it.

Lawrence explains: "It is to use the water to move the wood, and the wood turns the stone mill to rotate, and in order to make it more convenient, it is necessary to use a gear and a wooden rod to link the stone mill more reasonably. ”

"The current water flow is not big enough, mainly because I need a larger flow of water to facilitate my work, such as adding a few baffles in the middle of the river, and after the outlet becomes smaller, the water flow will be faster."

Loshanda nodded, "Go ahead, I'll take a look here." ”

"Okay." Lawrence has long been accustomed to being watched, and if someone knows how to use this technology, it will be much more convenient in the future.

Compared to the rest of the barbarians, Loshanda was more interested in learning.

And not counting Lawrence, Losanda is the only true prophet here, far more knowledgeable and authoritative than the rest.

If Lawrence wasn't at the estate, it wasn't Sariel and Sophia who would be the best place to take over temporarily, but Loshanda.

First of all, she is the mother that Lawrence admits, and she is also a pure-blood witch, the spiritual leader of the previous generation of the Clauda, and her intelligence and force are not low.

Also, its existence itself does not threaten Lawrence's dominance, and the likes of Saliel and Kehalan are willing to listen to the elder's opinion.

On the one hand, he is a champion of the traditional order, and on the other hand, he is willing to accept all kinds of novel ideas and ideas of young people like Lawrence.

Although Lawrence has been consciously cultivating Sariel and Sophia, the reality is that Losanda is more qualified as the second leader.

This is not a bad thing for Lawrence and the estate, it is a good thing in every way.

After looking at it for a while, Losanda roughly understood this principle and asked, "Is there anything else besides water that can push this wheel?" ”

"The wind can too." Lawrence replied, "But the most stable thing is the fire, the wind depends on the weather, and the water depends on the season." ”

Something else that Loshanda couldn't understand, "The flames are supposed to burn this thing, I don't understand how the flames are going to push it." ”

Lawrence looked into the distance and then at Loshanda, "The flame can boil the water and turn it into steam, and that steam can not only overturn the lid but also push the gears. ”

Industrial gears.

"Sounds interesting, if you have time, you can make one for me, I might be able to help." ”

Lawrence smiled: "It is not possible to make that kind of equipment that uses fire now, and the ironmaking technology has not yet developed, and there are too few steel pipes and iron pipes of all kinds. ”

All kinds of industrial technologies are complementary to each other and promote each other's progress, but now the population of various countries has not reached the period of expansion, agricultural technology has not developed, iron tools and agricultural tools have not yet been popularized, and there is no industrial soil at all.

There is too much backwardness here, so there is no need to be too anxious in all aspects, and the current water-powered mill alone is enough to sling the agricultural technology of various countries.
