Unlimited Food Plan

Du Changqiu's recruitment this winter is divided into three parts.

One was the land that Baron Polly had just gifted him.Although the temperature has dropped now, it is still within the range that people can bear. Before the temperature drops in a large area, Du Changqiu hopes to tidy up the fields there.

The other reason is that he plans to build a cider processing factory, because the field rewarded by Baron Polly has another mountain of apple groves.It means that there are two huge apple groves in the manor now, and the annual output has reached a terrible level. There are manor owners nearby, and almost all of them plant apples and pears. After the apples are harvested, the price every year, The low Du Changqiu couldn't bear to sell it.

Even if the cellar can keep apples fresher for a longer period of time,? But in the final analysis, there are no large cities around Wiltshire, and the consumption capacity of apples is not high, so the more apples, the more losses for Du Changqiu. .

But cider is different. In the current general environment, everyone drinks every day. Wine exists instead of water. Except for the poorest serfs who can only drink cheap rye wine that is less than a penny a gallon, small Most of the wealthy freedmen drink slightly better daily drinks, such as a gallon of refined ale for two and a half pennies, and also buy some cider during holidays.

This is still the poor Wirth Manor. The city’s more relaxed citizens, gentlemen, and minor aristocrats are currently favoring cider every day. Make a choice and the answer is self-evident.

After all, compared with the luxury wine of £[-] shillings per gallon, the cheapest cider at two shillings per gallon is definitely more affordable.

A gallon is almost four liters, enough for three adults to drink for a day, and as long as the economy allows, most people definitely prefer sweet-smelling apples to bitter rye wine.Even cider that has been sour after being aged for too long is sweet and sour and still preferred to bitter rye wine.

Therefore, if it is done well, there is absolutely no need to worry about sales, and the value of apples can be multiplied many times in an instant.

But why didn't the Dimon family do this before?

One is that there were not many apples at that time to the point that Du Changqiu is facing now, and the other is that the recipes in this era are very precious, and it is not like the future generations. As long as you are willing to search and check, the door of knowledge will always be open for you.

Here, knowledge is gold, and everyone who has knowledge will only hide this knowledge privately, and then maintain it as a secret passed down between families.

Therefore, many manor owners do not know that this is a good way, but most of them are not very good at making wine. After a busy winter, if the wine looks very bad, the money they get may be similar to selling apples at a low price , and even worse is that the brew is bad and smelly, so it can only be poured out, and the money is lost.

The risk is too high, and everyone is unwilling to work.

The same is true for the Dimon family. After trying several times with the method told by the businessman, but only got sour water, the Dimon family gave up this idea. At least they lost a little by selling fresh apples, but it is also a sum of money.

However, Du Changqiu's only advantage now is knowledge. Not to mention the formula of cider, he can find countless brewing methods at his fingertips. As long as he wants, he can find all the processing methods of apples!

Therefore, when he decided to find some work for these people in winter and not waste the good time, Du Changqiu decisively made the decision to build a cider factory.

Unlike profiteering sugar factories that need serious secrecy and even protection, the brewing process of cider does not require many secrecy measures, because the profits are not so large that people are envious, and few people will spend a lot of money, risking being discovered directly The danger of being killed, ran to other people's territory to peek and learn.

Most importantly, even if you write down the whole process, if you only know it but don’t know why, it is still easy to fail, because many of the completion processes of winemaking are judged by experienced people.

Everyone knows about chopping, juicing and filtering, but the subsequent fermentation in the tank can only be judged by those who know it, and the temperature control of the subsequent boiling and sterilization is another hurdle, and finally repeated filtering and filling ...Every step in the whole process is slightly wrong, and what is waiting may be a sour and smelly finished product that fails completely.

Since the first century of the park, when the Mediterranean people discovered how to make cider, the development of cider has gone through a long period of time, but up to now, the cider on the market is actually quite different from the clarified liquor of later generations.

Du Changqiu didn't plan to make improvements either. He just needed to run the cider factory and make products that were almost delicious enough. As for things like improvements, whoever is interested in it will do it in the future.

After roughly sorting out these recruitment requirements, confirming that the position can cover most of the families in the manor, at least to ensure that the pillars of the family will not be idle, Du Changqiu handed everything over to Butler George, and he didn't worry about these things.He found some of the most original recipes for cider, and started tinkering with them.

Du Changqiu chose several methods to observe and compare the sugar content and fermentation process of apples, and cook them as comparatively as possible to control the temperature.Although I didn't intend to make it very good, but in a limited environment, it is necessary to find a brewing method that can be stored for the longest time and taste the best.

Of course, the main experimental team leader is Du Changqiu, and the subordinate participants are Aunt Mary, the cook who suddenly changed her job to brewing for some reason, and Eleonor, who came to report work and inquire about what can be done for her.

After the construction of the toilet, Elinofor thought he would be reused, but in the end he was too busy, and Du Changqiu forgot about him, which made Elinofor get ridiculed a lot.

But Elinofor was not discouraged. After finding the opportunity, he immediately approached Du Changqiu to fight for a job opportunity for himself again.

Du Changqiu appreciates the behavior of Elinofor very much. If you want to be appreciated, if you still keep aloof and wait for your boss to find out how good you are at doing things and then promote you, it is actually very difficult, unless your boss is 100% in any A process understands those minute details, and this person's work is irreplaceable, otherwise, he will generally encounter injustice and forgetting, and say goodbye to promotion and salary increase forever.

And people like Aili Nuofu are very good at finding opportunities for themselves. As a boss, what I am most afraid of is not that my subordinates will not know it, but that I don't want to move at all and just want to lie down and dawdle.

Therefore, Du Changqiu simply conscripted Elinofor to give him the machine for making apple juice—the juicer in the Wilt Manor was very primitive, and it was still made of stone.

The specific method of use is to put washed grass in the stone trough for juice extraction, then put the cut apples in, and then put the big stone with a pole on top to press it down. In order to squeeze out the last drop of juice, people have to step on the stone Put it on the handle and let the apple juice drain down the crevices of the stone trough.

When Du Changqiu saw this operation method for the first time, his heart was very complicated, but he saw that Elinofor was in charge of moving up and removing the stones of the juicer, and then helping the cooks immediately put in new apples, and then Aunt Mary sat down directly. While frantically jumping on his hands... Du Changqiu had already made up his mind to ask the blacksmith to make a slightly more modern juice extractor.

But now it can only be used in this way.

But Du Changqiu didn't expect that during the dinner, he at least mentioned that he was going to challenge himself to brew cider. As a result, the girls were very interested and asked questions one by one.

Du Changqiu was surprised at first, he boiled sugar to set up a factory before, and the girls later found out that they were not so excited, why did they get so excited when they encountered cider?

After careful questioning, he found out that the sugar factory had actually made the women in the family very curious, but the sugar was too expensive, and they would all be married women in the future. They didn't visit the sugar factory because they wanted to avoid suspicion.

When the girl said this, she suddenly realized what Charlie's memory taught him about manor management and other things.

Just like managing a manor, heirs have to learn from an early age, but girls only need to know how to appoint and remove servants, and how to enjoy life.

Because in this era, as a girl who is going to marry, unless her parents are very fond of her and have no brothers, these family secret ways of making money, in order to prevent girls from learning to take it to their husband’s house and affecting their own money, they generally avoid it. girls.

Knowing that the second brother was willing to give each of them a dowry of [-] pounds, the three little girls were very grateful to the second brother, and of course they would not be willing to do things that would make the second brother unhappy, so naturally they kept avoiding suspicion.

It wasn't until Du Changqiu talked about the interesting stories about wine making and juicer that the girls in Dameng's family couldn't hold back their curiosity and asked so excitedly that Du Changqiu knew what they were thinking.

This is difficult for Du Changqiu to understand, because he lives in the age of wisdom sharing. In the future, all knowledge will be free, except that minors must go to school—because many years ago, the first generation grew up completely in the virtual network Many children have problems, such as excessive real cognition of the virtual world, no participation in real life, and even starving themselves to death...

These tragedies have made the public have a common understanding that "children must first exist in real life", so legislation stipulates that in order to protect adults, they must first recognize the real world, so children must go to school to study .

Before Du Changqiu, he could only log in to the virtual network for two hours a week. When he was a teenager, he was very unhappy about this, because it delayed his learning of knowledge outside of school.

For this reason, he has repeatedly applied to the school for skipping grades and opening more optical brain login permissions. Unfortunately, just when he was about to succeed, a young genius who had attracted much attention suddenly fell and ended his life—he was also immersed in virtual reality for a long time. In the network, but it is said that he is a real epoch-making genius, he even completed and built a part of the star network.

And because of his extraordinary IQ and outstanding talent since he was a child, he got special approval to stay in the star network for a long time.

His suicide caused a great uproar, because it is said that the death of this young genius stopped the human beings who had hoped to break through new technologies again directly outside the new palace.

During that time, there were criticisms and criticisms about this matter everywhere, and the information about the young genius who was originally very secret was also found out.

Du Changqiu didn't know about other things. He probably only knew that this incident caused his application to fail. From now on, all minors will not be allowed to log in to Starnet beyond the time limit regardless of the circumstances.

When Du Changqiu learned about this, he almost collapsed.

However, this kind of disturbing thing completely disappears after adulthood. Adults want to participate in any training, they can click on the virtual training class recorded online, and then swim in the ocean of knowledge.

Except for cutting-edge leading knowledge and unshareable knowledge such as military affairs, other small knowledge such as life will be open.

After all, the unified cognition of later generations is that in human history, the explosion of wisdom, the prosperity of science and technology, and the leap forward of the whole society are all based on the lowering of the learning threshold and knowledge is no longer a luxury.

Large-scale knowledge dissemination and everyone can obtain a knowledge means that more convenient and faster inventions have a mass base, and the popularization of the use of technology means that the iteration of technology will become faster.

This may violate the interests of one or two initial technology acquirers, but from the perspective of the macro-development history of the entire human being, this is actually beneficial to the entire human society.

Du Changqiu, who grew up in such an era, of course couldn't understand not teaching girls how to make money.

For example, the sugar-making technology, is there really no way for Du Changqiu to hide the fact that sugar beets can be boiled for another five or ten years?

In an era when communication and transportation are so underdeveloped, it might be possible to hide it for decades, but why did Du Changqiu guide Baron Polly in such a way?In fact, in his heart, he didn't want to monopolize this technology for a long time at all. It was Du Changqiu's idea to scrape oil from the hands of extravagant nobles for two or three years, and then feed back the construction of Wilt Manor.

After all, this is much easier than scraping the oil from the poor serfs who have no clothes, and it is much more in line with Du Changqiu's philosophy.

So when he found out that the female relatives were a little curious, Du Changqiu's first reaction was, is there such a thing?That must not work, the girls must be shown making sugar and cider - no reason why he didn't even hide it from the servants, and in the end he kept it from the family.

After playing around with the girls and satisfying their curiosity, Du Changqiu's second reaction was - no, he has a young man!

It just so happened that the manager of the sugar factory was worrying him!

Although the recruitment of female workers guaranteed the good reputation of the female family members, Du Changqiu has been unable to find someone who can take over the long-term management. After all, if he finds a man with bad character, the female workers may be harassed. Big or small, Du Changqiu didn't expect that there would be some scandal, and the reputation of all the female workers would be damaged.

Butler George is a good candidate. He is reliable and has a high character, but the problem is that he already has enough things on him, and there is no way he can take care of the sugar factory for a long time.

Therefore, at this time, the gentle and steady Veronica is really a perfect choice!She was trustworthy, good-natured, and a girl, perfect for the management of the working girls.

"Veronica, are you willing to help me supervise the construction of the sugar factory and manage the female workers?" Du Changqiu made a request to Veronica when he thought of this, and he said, "You saw it too, brother There are so many things here, and there is no brother at home who can help."

In fact, the heirs of the nobility didn't ask the brothers to help. They wanted to guard against each other, so how could they still help?

But there is no need to remind Veronica about this.

The second brother Charlie has always looked very reliable, and has never been so eager to ask for help. Veronica didn't think about it at all, and nodded as soon as her brain got hot, and agreed to her brother's request.

Then the next day her mind cooled down, thinking that this would be bad, but before she could find Du Changqiu, the butler George came over with a numb face and said, "Sir asked me to take the eldest lady to supervise the work in the sugar factory."

George can almost understand the brain circuit of the gentleman now. He actually tried to persuade the gentleman yesterday that no lady would learn such things that inferior people would do.

In the end, Du Changqiu gave him a good meal, and he said clearly, "If Veronica has her own manor in the future, how will she manage it if she doesn't study? If she has no money in the future and needs to build a sugar factory, how will she earn money in the future if she doesn't practice now?" money?!"

How does George respond to this?He couldn't answer, because he wouldn't accept the answer "Miss's husband will be responsible for supporting her" when he looked like that.

After all, George also understands that no matter how high-sounding his words are, the only way to truly love them is to really do good for the girls and increase capital for them.

Therefore, George stopped advising. After discovering Mr. Charlie's deep love and care for Miss Veronica, removing the influence of those worldly concepts, George suddenly found that he respected Mr. Charlie more and more.

Not every elder brother takes care of his sister in this way, and not everyone takes care of the weaker family members at home.

So with such a mood, George knocked on Veronica's door early in the morning, and waited outside, eager to teach the young lady everything he knew.

As the husband said, the more the young lady learns now, the better she will be able to live in the future.

In this way, the inexperienced Veronica was forced to take up the post in confusion, and the housekeeper George personally led the emergency factory manager training.

Before she even had time to discuss with her brother whether it was good or not, she plunged into the heavy but novel new field. Although Charlie told her that if she really didn't like it, she would tell him and he would let her go home and rest, but Wei After a brief panic, Ronika felt that such a life was particularly fulfilling for some reason, so she just gritted her teeth and persisted, and has been working hard to perfect the post-work of the sugar factory.

While continuing to study the formula of cider, Du Changqiu sighed with emotion. It's a pity that the other female relatives in the family are either too young, or like the elder sister-in-law Annie, they spend every day making some clothes for themselves. No matter how you look at it, they are not interested in these things. Only one young man, Veronica, was caught.

In the end, there are still too few people who can use it, otherwise there will be more projects that can be done.

Of course, this was Du Changqiu's idea, but from the perspective of the villagers in Wilt Manor, this winter was completely different from previous years.

Especially those young girls in the sugar factory.

Unlike men who have already done work for Master Charlie, girls like Hathaway can basically only listen enviously to the men discussing about Master Charlie and the food he rewarded.

Other girls may be able to share some meat or gravy from the father who loves the child to taste, but like Hathaway, there is no man in the family, only a serf family with an old mother leading her and her sister, They wanted to sign up to work for the master, but they couldn't get a place.

And because of the father's departure last year, their family has no labor force, so they will definitely not be able to pay taxes this year, and they will not be able to do much work in the military.

I'm afraid they won't be able to rent Master Charlie's land next year.

Without land, there would be no food. Hathaway was very desperate about this. She was even considering whether to go to Tirunwana City to find her former little sister.

Even if she becomes a wandering warbler and is abandoned by the God of Light, Hathaway has no choice.

She wanted to live, and she hoped that her mother and young sister could also live, even if she had to go to hell, Hathaway would admit it.

And when Hathaway was staring at the empty pots at home, she heard the news that the lord was going to recruit female workers.

Living in the castle, he was not allowed to go home for three years, but he had bread every day.

The most important thing is that if they accept ration food, there will be an arm-length black bread every day as wages other than eating and drinking.

They write the name of the donator, and go to the bakery every day to receive it on a daily basis.

These are the additions and changes Du Changqiu made after heeded George's butler's suggestion. The main reason is that there may be families like Hathaway who lack labor or are sick, or have only female breadwinners. In this way, only one person is needed to work. , Even if you can't go home, at least the family will not starve to death.

After Du Changqiu was reminded, he was greatly rewarded, and he planned that not only the female workers in the sugar factory could choose this way, but other men could also choose this way—you know, even if he recruits workers in winter, he can't arrange jobs for everyone. With such a choice, those with a large family can take better care of their family members.

If it is quantified, it can also prevent everyone from eating and drinking until they vomit, and waste food invisibly.

Du Changqiu was very satisfied with this.

The farmers of Wilt Manor were very happy to hear the latest news.

"I'm a freeman, will we get more bread?" asked the freeman who squeezed to the front.

"No, Mr. Charlie said that there is no hard labor during the winter break, regardless of whether they are free people or not, they are all treated the same!" Before building a sugar factory and arable land, free people and non-free people were treated differently. The first is that the intensity of work is different. , The second is that because serfs are all counted as serving, each freeman can get meat, while serfs can only choose the two groups of best performers to reward.

But now it's all the same.

"Dear sir," a serf was trembling with excitement and asked repeatedly, "Master Charlie, does that mean that each of us can get a forearm-long black bread every day?"

"Yes, everyone, eat two rationed meals a day, and take away an arm-length black bread!" Ed, who was in charge of recruiting people after finishing the construction of the sugar factory, repeated loudly.

In the entire village court, the men and women completely boiled after his words, shouting and struggling desperately, tearing each other's clothes, and also wanted to get to the front!

They must get a job, the best choice for men is the winery, and the best choice for women is the sugar factory!

Because it is estimated that the work of reclaiming Master Charlie's new land can only be done for a month at most, but the winery and sugar factory are different, let alone the distance, as long as one person in the family goes to the winery at this moment, everyone in the family will go to the winery throughout the winter. I can't die of hunger! ! !

At this moment, the village court has become a scene of fighting.

If there is an oil painter who can paint this grand scene as it is at this moment, this "War of the Villagers of Wirth Manor" is estimated to become a famous painting that has been passed down through the ages.

At this moment, Hathaway kicked the woman in front of her and frantically squeezed to the front.

This man who lived to be 98 years old, whose portraits were hung in the Golden Palace, opened up all the spice roads in Egypt, Arabia and Venice, walked the entire Silk Road with soldiers and horses, and visited the emperor of the ancient eastern country. The girl of Veronica, the first legendary businessman of Kansai and later the first duchess who died on the sea in search of the New World, has not yet been called "Mad Knight Hathaway" or "Blood Drinker Sea" in the future. Servi's shadow.

She was still a ignorant and frightened little girl.

For a piece of bread, her eyes were bright and her voice was trembling with excitement: "Hathaway, my name is Hathaway."

Seeing that her name was dotted with ink, Hathaway's eyes turned hot, she clutched her chest, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Can survive.

She and her family survived.
