On the way back, Sariel behaved angrily.

"I'm back, I'm back, I'm all caught and thinking about going out, Lawrence, so are you, why let him go out again next year?"

Lawrence had long been accustomed to Sariel's temper and ignored her.

Delen didn't want to listen to Sariel's nonsense, and said directly: "Men should fight, Sariel, you treat Andrew as a mother, he is not a, he is a man." ”

Sariel said directly: "What about Lawrence! He doesn't like to fight! ”

Lawrence smiled: "I just don't need to fight myself, I've been using wisdom to guide everyone forward in the past few years, which is greater wisdom than mere brute force." ”

Sophia smiled happily and sweetly, "The master is right, wisdom is greater than brute force. ”

Lawrence doesn't fight, Sophia naturally doesn't fight, Sophia is reluctant to take the risk of Lawrence, and she doesn't want Lawrence to get hurt.

The eldest, Loshanda, rode a sheep and swayed along the mountain road, listening to the chatter of several young people.

Loshanda reminded: "Lawrence, people in the West have noticed us. ”

"I also know this, there must be a few wizards hiding on the ship this time, but judging from their numbers, it is impossible for these people to cooperate."

Lawrence has his own judgment, and the number of wizards is very small, and these wizards don't have the friendly judgment mechanism in the game, so they can't trust each other.

The wizard's sorcery can not only kill enemies, but also teammates, especially spells of that range, which can hit both friend and foe.

In addition, as upper-class aristocrats, these people have gained a certain amount of life enjoyment, and they are not willing to take risks for some small things.

Would a noble wizard fight a horde of barbarians of thousands for the hundreds of lives of a small fishing village on the coast?

Not at all.

"Now only five of the fourteen kingdoms in the West are willing to unite, and even these five don't want to fight, because once they fight, they will definitely die, and it is not ordinary low-level pariahs who will die, but their knights and heirs."

As aristocrats, the nobility of this era was not capitalists, and their own wealth was linked to the strength of their subordinates.

The capitalists pushed for the war because it was profitable, and it was not their relatives who died, they only had to squeeze the workers in the factories to buy government officials with money.

During this period, the aristocracy would also annex land through various means, land and population were the greatest assets, and the thugs under their command were very important.

The elite soldiers of the nobles are their greatest support, and these elites are used to suppress the people in the territory and fight against the nearby nobles, rather than to fight the northern barbarians.

Lawrence has shown a very good will for peace, and he has shown great strength.

So several main forces in the Western alliance do not want to fight, and when Lawrence invades those countries that are not allied, these main forces will only watch jokes there.

The five witches were not interested in Lawrence's political wisdom, and while Lawrence was thinking about the conspiratorial affair, the five witches talked about what to eat tonight.

Saliel said, "The chicken and mushrooms we ate today are better than what we usually eat, Emma, do you know how to do it?" ”

Emma explains: "It's stewed with chickens, topped with sun-dried shiitake mushrooms and spices, and the owner calls this chicken stewed mushrooms. ”

Sophia said unhappily: "Then why didn't we make a food to eat?" ”

Emma said: "Because there is beef to eat, I haven't cooked it for a while, and because I live at the bottom of the mountain, the owner told me not to cook too much food. ”

Delen also wanted to eat, "Do this at night." ”

"Yes, Lord Delenn." Emma easily agreed, after all, she could eat it herself.

Seeing that the rest of the people were chatting happily, Loshanda couldn't help but say what she wanted to eat.

"We don't eat pig's trotters anymore." Loshanda reminds everyone.

When Sariel heard this, she quickly said: "Pig's trotters are too wasteful, a pig only has four hooves, and we only have so many pigs, and if we eat one, we will have one less." ”

Sariel, who is a hard-working housekeeper, is reluctant to eat pig's trotters, there are six people here, five witches and Lawrence If one pig's trotter is one person, it will cost two pigs!

Delen also knew that there were not many pigs in the territory, and the environment here was not suitable for raising pigs, and many pigs died while raising them.

The pigs that are left now have to be kept for production so that there will be more pigs next year.

Lawrence was a filial man, and took the initiative to say: "I remember that there were pigs brought by Frys's friends in the town of Phumixiu, and these pigs were also difficult to keep at home, and they would eat them themselves anyway, so we bought two and killed them to prepare for winter." ”

Seeing that Lawrence said this, Sariel could only echo: "Okay. ”

The north is not suitable for farming, and most of the animals grow slowly.

Crops such as wheat can also rely on hard work and technical improvement, while livestock is struggling.

Lawrence didn't want to bother, "There are a lot of pigs in Pig's Trotter City, and it's a great place to raise pigs, so I asked people to go there and buy some pigs back." ”

"Five pigs, it should be enough for us to eat this year."

Lawrence said to Losanda, "Mother, I need some milk powder and egg powder in exchange. ”

Losanda said happily: "No problem, I will do this." ”

Sariel muttered, "Lawrence, can't you just come up with a tasty and cheap pig's trotter?" ”

Lawrence thought for a moment, "How's the sheep's hoof?" ”

"There is too little lamb's trotter meat, how can you eat it?" Sariel shook her head, "It's definitely not tasty." ”

Lawrence thought for a few seconds and quickly said, "Then chicken feet!" We have a lot of chicken, and when we eat fried chicken thighs, we leave a lot of chicken feet, and these chicken feet can actually be made even more delicious! ”

Sariel felt funny, "Isn't there less meat in chicken feet?" How to eat! ”

Lawrence smiled: "You don't understand this, we are now considered nobles, what's wrong with eating more chicken feet?" ”

The luxury of the aristocracy, how can these village girl thinking people understand.

Eating the chicken feet of five or six chickens in one meal is the luxury of aristocrats!

In this era, even if the Duke and King saw Lawrence eat more than a dozen braised chicken feet in one meal, he would sigh in his heart that this person was so extravagant!

However, the biggest problem at the moment is the seasoning problem.

Soy sauce and vinegar were too scarce, and Lawrence pondered the techniques for making soy sauce, feeling that he was missing the main ingredient, soybeans.

Without beans, there is no way to make tofu, and there is no way to make soy milk.

Soybeans can also be used for oil, which is extremely useful, and can even be eaten as meat!

Lawrence thought about it and quickly found an alternative to soy sauce.

Meat!

Soybeans have many functions as a substitute for real meat, so is meat more suitable for brewing soy sauce than soybeans?

Soybeans are mainly cheap and highly mass-produced, so they replace meat, which should not mean that meat is not suitable for making soy sauce.

Lawrence once heard a story about maggots growing in the place where soy sauce is brewed, and since maggots can be grown, it means that the meat can be used.

However, how to make soy sauce from meat was a long-term process of exploration, and Lawrence returned to the cave and began to arrange the task.

The cave is very warm and in a dark place, which is perfect for sake brewing and spice making.

There were still too few maids in the house, so Lawrence gathered more than a dozen female workers who made fish soy sauce and asked them to come to the cave often this winter to make better soy sauce.

Soy sauce and vinegar are not only one, but can also be many kinds until you find the two that are the most delicious and the easiest to promote.

The cheapest isn't necessarily the healthiest, the best isn't necessarily the best, and Lawrence needs to find more options.

Seasoning is very important in this era, and after having seasoning, happiness can skyrocket.

Lawrence currently uses marine spices, including seafood and chicken broth.

Whether it's alcohol, spices, or cooking dishes, it's all very food-consuming!

At a time when most people don't have enough to eat, Lawrence not only has no worries about food and clothing, but also explores spices and dishes!

Many witches and wizards of the same era lived in poverty and hardship with bread and wine.
