Succubus' Manor

Chi Yan didn't wait for soldiers to attack them for a long time, so he could only think that there was a problem with his prediction.

Maybe the royal family has no soldiers?Or maybe Rose's lord did not dare to report the news that the paladin had been captured?

Chi Yan actually had some regrets.

If there is another wave of soldiers, he is confident that half of them will be captured. By then, with so many people, he will be able to add bricks and tiles to his territory.

Recently, news came from Otley that the livestock raised in captivity have begun to be slaughtered, among which chickens and ducks are the most, and all of them are sold to Stettin, Aliya, and Saket.

After all, the manor is already self-sufficient, and there are a lot of livestock in captivity, so there is no need to transport them from here.

These animals are only the first batch, and the second and third batches will be released soon.

The price of meat in several cities fell rapidly, but because some merchants adjusted the price, it didn't really drop much.

It's just that ordinary people with jobs can now afford meat.

Among them, chicken is the most popular.

Because duck meat... always has a smell, and people don't have so much money and energy to buy spices, so chicken with no peculiar smell is the first choice.

Although it tastes a bit like wood, it is meat after all, and no one will hate it if it is meat.

Families are now starting to remodel their kitchens.

Chi Yan also ate tender meat. He chose a small rooster, removed the hair and skin, cut the chicken into pieces, and stir-fried it with chicken oil in an iron pan. After frying, there was no oil or firewood. It was served with fragrant steamed buns. It is one of the great enjoyments in life.

"It would be great if there were peppers." Chi Yan felt a little regretful.

Kleist asked from the side: "What is chili?"

Chi Yan: "...It just tastes a little irritating to eat? You will sweat and your lips will turn red."

It is rare that there is something that Kleist has never heard of, he hesitated: "Is it not poisonous?"

Chi Yan: "It's so spicy that it won't kill you. How could it be poisonous? This stuff is great. If you eat less, it can also dispel dampness."

He had heard before that areas that love chili peppers are basically mountains and basins with heavy humidity, so chili lovers can dispel dampness and have a stimulating taste. People who love chili peppers can't live without a meal.

Although he is now in the plains, he still misses chili very much after eating non-irritating food for so long.

Kleist said he had never heard of it.

Chi Yan went to ask the old housekeeper and servants again, but no one heard of it.

Chi Yan regretted: "I don't know when I will find the chili pepper. I hope I'm not dead by then."

Kleist looked helpless.

However, because of Chi Yan's inquiry, everyone in the castle knew that there was a red, slender, curved fruit that made people sweat, lips turned red, and thirsty after eating it.

Can't imagine how this stuff can be turned into a delicious condiment.

The captives are living well now. Except for some with family members, the captives without parents and brothers all stayed here with peace of mind. They train every day and have two full meals. After receiving the first month's salary, they I also chose a holiday, and went out together to go shopping in the market and eat in the commercial street.

Deli shops in the commercial street are now making more money than anything else.

Those who sell baked tofu, those who sell drinks, and those who sell meals in restaurants, even some people bought cakes.

Naturally, it is not a modern cake, but a cake developed by the locals themselves. Eggs, wheat flour and finely ground sugar powder are used, without adding a drop of water, and then a little sour flour is added. Always be watched.

After baking, serve it out, brush with a layer of syrup, and if you have money, brush with a layer of honey.

After being cut, it is soft and fragrant, and it is popular all over the city as soon as it appears.

Both adults and children, men and women, should eat this soft and sweet bread.

Every day there is a long queue at the bakery.

They also worked hard on the packaging, using special bark to make a box for packaging, and a circle of yellow paper around the outside.

Their shop name is also stamped on the yellow paper.

Chi Yan has also eaten there a few times. Although in his opinion, it is far from the modern cakes, it is still a rare delicacy for him now.

And this store also provides seats. When there are seats, people can buy a cake and then go to the store next to them to buy a drink-a drink made from leaves, which tastes a bit like mint water, but not quite. Yes, very refreshing and thirst quenching.

The store owners probably found that many customers brought children and it was not easy to shop, so they circled a special place, bought a lot of toys, and hired someone to take care of the children and let the guests "store" the children there.

You will be charged by time.

This makes many men and women who are alone with their children feel very good.

After all, many times the children are full and don't want to leave, but they are not full yet!

Chi Yan also brought Kleist to the commercial street. Those who buy fabrics and sell ready-made clothes, as well as accessories and cosmetics, basically moved to the second floor. There are only a few chairs or sofas on the first floor, but there are also guys staying inside. , When guests come in, they lead them upstairs.

The cooked food sellers are all on the first floor, so Chi Yan bought two pieces of baked tofu, wrapped them in thick yellow paper, and bought two drinks.

The merchants are relatively solid. The tofu is thick and big, and it uses oil and spices. The price is not expensive. It seems that it is a way of making small profits but quick turnover. Almost every shopper has a piece of tofu, and drinks are also a must.

Children love sweets more, and lollipops stuck in wooden sticks and maltose that are stirred are the children's favorites.

Most young people love to eat baked tofu that is rich in flavor, cheap and delicious.

Drinks are not expensive, a copper coin is a big cup, but wooden cups are a bit expensive, so many people bring their own cups.

However, wooden cups can be recycled all the time. If you buy it once, you don’t need to buy another cup when you go to buy drinks next time.

"This baked tofu is better than Anna's." Chi Yan held Kleist's hand with great interest, eating the hot baked tofu, the corners of his mouth were covered with oil.

The two of them held hands, looking close and loving.

He ate up Kleist's piece of tofu in a few bites, and now he is holding two glasses of drinks in his other hand, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to sign with Chi Yan.

There are often civilians looking at them, but most of them look at them with appreciation and blessing.

At first glance, they are a loving young couple. It is estimated that they have not been together for a long time.

Stettin is very open now. Since the slaves became free citizens, Stettin's civilians seem to have found that their degree of freedom is so high. Marriage does not need to pay taxes anymore, just need to register, and it costs [-] copper coins to register fee, they can move their household registration to the first phase.

If you want to go to Oatley and Aliye, or visit relatives, you can go if you say so.

——After all, there is no one who can't figure out how to go to other cities. Those cities have no roads, not to mention the long distances, and there may be dangers on the roads.

So there was a couple with a girl and a girl, and they went to register for marriage.

Everyone is waiting for them to be beaten back.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a success!

Really married.

The couple was also very embarrassed to say that they didn't have much money in hand, and they waited to save more money before inviting everyone to dinner.

——After all, there is no holy courtyard anymore, and there is no place to hold a wedding. When people get married now, they just treat relatives and friends to a meal.

Food is what counts!

The number of cooks has also increased a lot, and most of them are women, because they all think that women cook better than men. If you look at the cooks in the castle, you will know that the chefs of the nobles are all women, so the nobles must think more. Makes sense.

Once someone has a banquet, they will go to the chef, and the chef will charge according to the number of guests.

Stettin's jobs have increased a lot.

Most of the men are more willing to farm or build roads, earn a lot of money, and it is safe.

The number of people getting married has increased, and the number of newborns born to Stettin is several times that of previous years.

When people feel at ease, they dare to have children, and they can raise children after they are born.

When Chi Yan and Kleist were shopping in the commercial street, they saw many pregnant women. Some had big bellies, and some had just started to show their bellies. Pregnant women would eat more. After all, one mouth feeds two people, and the shops are special. I like pregnant women, and there is a special area for pregnant women.

Only pregnant women are allowed to sit, and the husbands of pregnant women are not allowed to enter. There are also dedicated waitresses to receive food. Even if you want to eat food from other stores, the waiters can buy it directly.

Looking at this scene, Chi Yan felt very comfortable—these newborns, no matter where their parents are from, are real natives of Stettin, and they will witness that this land is getting stronger and more glorious. , will become the backbone of Stettin.

After Chi Yan finished eating the tofu, he threw the yellow paper into the trash cans, which he asked the shop owners to fill.

And every night when the business ends, the bosses have to have someone clean up the land in front of their stores so that there are no oil stains and garbage.

Because these garbage are biodegradable garbage, they can be buried in a special place outside the city every day.

Kleist sighed: "Stedding is like a different city."

Everyone can walk freely on the streets, and small vendors will not flee quickly when they see the guards.

The merchants obeyed the rules, did not exploit civilians, and everything was operating in a good and orderly manner.

Kleist never knew before that being a lord has to take care of these things.

Now he felt that Tianmu might really exist, and she sent Chi Yan down after seeing that the people on the ground were suffering.

Let people live like this.

Chi Yan said proudly: "Yes!"

"I never thought that Stettin would become like this."

Chi Yan laughed twice.

A child who was playing with his partner didn't look at the road and bumped into Chi Yan's leg.

The child sat down on the ground and was about to cry. When he looked up, he saw a very good-looking big brother looking at him with concern.

The child was taken aback, and he took out a lollipop that hadn't been opened from his arms, stretched out his hand and raised it up, and said in a childish voice, "Big brother, eat candy."

Chi Yan breathed a sigh of relief seeing that the child didn't make a fool of himself, and said with a smile, "Why did you give me candy?"

The child thought for a while, and finally said firmly: "You look good!"

Everyone around laughed.

Chi Yan glanced at Kleist, and they also laughed.
