Unlimited Food Plan

"It was a bit too extravagant some time ago." Du Changqiu looked at the account book, and was reviewing it there.

No wonder the professors always told him that everything was difficult in ancient times, and it was difficult to get enough food. It was even more difficult to make everyone eat enough.

Originally, in order to empty the dried meat, Du Changqiu gave everyone a reward of one piece of meat per day-I have to say that Du Changqiu did not regret this decision at all,? After all, Du Changqiu was very suspicious of those meats,? And Margarina is older.

Cow’s milk and goat’s milk are also produced by the cows and goats in the manor. In the past, the milk production could not keep up because of insufficient food. Later, I bought some cows and goats. In addition, because of boiling sugar, I got a lot of beet pulp. , Adding wheatgrass, not to mention whether the food is good or not,? But it is indeed fuller than before, and the milk production has increased.

Therefore, there is no pressure to supply things like cow and goat milk and cheese,? Even now there are some butter and cheese left.

However, there is no need to buy these things. Later, the air-dried meat was not long after eating, so I spent the money from the first sugar sale and bought some rye, oats, and some cheap salted fish as supplements.

It was the harvest season at that time, and there were all grain-producing manors near Wilt. Except for wheat, other things were considered cheap, even fish.

Because of the cold weather, the fish is well preserved, and it is much cheaper than in summer. Although Wirth is not close to the sea, there are continuous sea areas within the border of Kansai, and in order to deliver fresh fish to the royal family, there is a fast carriageway. Werther on this road is also rich, so every winter is the happiest time for everyone to eat fish.

Because of these reasons, Du Changqiu calculated the expenditure at first, and found that the problem was really not big, so he did not reduce the supply to the workers.

As for linen and woolen wool, the maids and servants of the manor originally had these supplies, but some old fabrics were used to prepare clothes and bedding for the employees in the two places. Sugar and cider, don't make any troubles in the future that make noble buyers upset, Du Changqiu thinks it's worth it.

But now, after all the preliminary construction was completed, Du Changqiu looked at the ledger and found that everything was under control as he expected.

But why is there an overrun on the ledger?He looked at the stars sleeping soundly at his feet—this was one of the reasons for the overspending.

Fan Xing was picky, drinking the sweet cider made by Du Changqiu himself, and eating the tenderest roast mutton. Du Changqiu looked at the books at the moment, and the most difficult thing to make ends meet was the food expenses in the manor.

And Aunt Mary, the cook, was very surprised. The original Mr. Charlie ate a lot, but the recent Mr. Charlie is a man who can easily cover the whole manor!

Du Changqiu doesn't mind being described as an idiot, after all, the nobles are all idiots now, and it's normal for one person to be half of Fanxing.

But the problem is that the economy in the manor is indeed a bit overwhelmed.

He had to think of a way, Du Changqiu held the quill pen in his mouth, frowned and thought seriously, he had to think of a way to make up for the time before Butler George came back.

He was trying to find a way here, but in the sugar factory and the winery, the hearts of the people working in the sugar factory and the winery were all clouded-everyone was keenly aware that the supply of meat had decreased recently, and most of it was mixed in stews, like It's the big chunks of meat like before, which haven't appeared for a long time.

"Master Charlie seems to have run out of money." Everyone whispered such rumors secretly.

For the men working in the winery, although they are also worried, they are not desperate.After all, if the winery collapses, they can still go home, at worst, tighten their belts, and there is still a way to survive.

But the female workers in the sugar factory were different. When Du Changqiu was recruiting workers, he specifically told George that the work was simple and that he should try to recruit as many girls and women who could not survive at home, which could be regarded as taking care of them.

Therefore, many girls in the sugar factory, like Hathaway, are responsible for the livelihood of the whole family.They are not only full of food here, but the family members outside still rely on their work in exchange for bread to live on.

So when they saw that the meat in the meal was getting less and less, and George's housekeeper hadn't come back for a long time, the girls' hearts were instantly filled with sadness and anxiety.

Everyone was worried that Master Charlie would not be able to make it through, and would drive them back at any time.In addition to working, the men in the winery talk in the village every day, and they all talk about "when will Mr. George come back" or "can the winery continue?"

The girls in the sugar factory were even more depressed.

The burden on them is too heavy, the thought of being driven out from the sugar factory, and seeing the crying faces of family members who have nothing at home when they return home...Thinking of this, the hearts of the girls are almost broken.

At night, Hathaway heard a girl crying secretly under the quilt.

She understands very well why people are afraid and cry.Because everything in the sugar factory is so beautiful—they have never felt so warm in winter, and they live so comfortably. They have hot water to scrub every day, everyone is clean and comfortable, and the room is warm. You can bathe with hot water every week.

Most importantly, you can eat two full meals a day, two full meals!

Although the diet is actually a little monotonous, bread and milk in the morning, a little smoked fish or fried eggs; fish or air-dried pork in the evening.Recently, even the supply of eggs has changed from two to one, while smoked fish has not appeared for a long time, and there is only a little fish left for dinner.

But it's still a good life!

According to their original way of eating, in Hathaway's view, it was a bit extravagant—nowadays, citizens or gentlemen with small families can eat like this every day.

So now that there is less meat in the food, everyone doesn't think there is anything wrong at all, and some are just worried about Mr. Charlie's financial situation.

At night, everyone was tossing and turning because they were worried, and Hathaway heard a girl say worriedly: "Do you think Master Charlie will drive us out?"

"No, let's try to boil more sugar." The friend next to the girl whispered to her, seemingly comforting her, but actually comforting himself.

"If you want me to say, you can go back, but the skirts and quilts that were sent to us, it's better to take them away with us!" A girl not far away spoke, and Hathaway frowned.

She knew this girl, her name was Jennifer, and this girl was not a serf girl, but a Perrault girl.

Calvin Perot is the baker in the village, a rare craftsman. In the early years, when the great-grandfather of their family was attacked by other lords, and the damn sentry was drunk, because it happened to be on the top of the mountain To labor, to discover in advance.Then ran all the way to the castle to report to the master, so that the master had time to close the gate of the castle, which was appreciated by the master, and was assigned to work in the bakery by the master, at least the family would not be hungry from now on.

Hathaway dislikes the baker Calvin very much, because Calvin is very greedy. The owner of the bakery, Damon, has a fixed tax rate, but in addition, Calvin will keep a part of it when baking bread .

These are common things, but what Calvin is most greedy is that he will bully women and children who don’t have a man in their family. For example, after Hathaway’s father passed away, Hathaway occasionally made bread, ate it when she came back, and gave it away The rye flour that can make three full breads, but there are three of them, but it is mixed with countless sawdust, and it doesn't taste like wheat.

One can imagine whose pocket most of the wheat fell into.

And because Calvin would only bully orphans and widows who have no relatives to support them every time, so after so many years, no one found anything tricky—he always behaved politely, which made people think he was a good person , So he didn't get any punishment at all, but those old people and children who preached his dishonesty will be treated more viciously by him next time.

These are things that poor people like Hathaway and the others know, but even so, when she met Jennifer and knew that she was a girl from the Perot family, Hathaway didn't show any difference to her at first.

But after a long time, it didn't take long for Hathaway to discover that straight shoots couldn't grow on crooked wood. Jenifer was very kind and hardworking at the beginning, and she was even very ingenious, and she worked very quickly. This won unanimous favor from everyone.

But after a long time, I probably discovered that Miss Veronica is a gentle and dignified lady, a real noble lady, she will not punish everyone for nothing, and the life here is a good life that I couldn't imagine before. Miss Ka's kindness.

So there was no more fear, and Jennifer gradually showed her feet.

Especially when Master Charlie encountered an economic crisis recently, Jennifer, who originally liked to tell tales and scare girls, and then got everyone's attention, completely released her nature.

She grasped the mentality of the girls who didn't want to leave the sugar factory and go back home. Every day and night, she almost never got tired of it. Even when she wanted to talk in the bathroom, she would directly say that sentence: "Hey, do you think the sugar factory can still work?" Do you want to continue?"

Because the girls are very worried about this matter, so only this sentence can always attract the attention of the worried girls.But Jennifer is not worried about not being able to stay in the sugar factory at all. On the contrary, every time it arouses everyone's concern and attention, she speaks loudly of her point of view that she should at least take away the clothes issued to them when she goes back, hoping to get the girls' approval. support.

Normally, Hathaway didn't feel anything about the topics that Jennifer wanted to get attention, and her careful thinking, but recently when the food was getting worse and everyone was getting more and more worried, Hathaway I don't want to hear such selfish words, even expecting the failure of the sugar factory.

"Shut up, if you want to go out by yourself, get out tomorrow!" Hathaway had heard such speeches from Jennifer for several days, but now she couldn't bear it anymore, because she heard the sleeping girl next to her whisper began to cry.

This kind of sadness and loss of control will be contagious one by one. God knows how far the irrational girls will collapse if they continue to cry. Hathaway couldn't bear it and said loudly: "It is stipulated that we must sleep at this time, so that we can work hard tomorrow .Whoever talks again, I will call Ms. Delia immediately!"

Everyone fell silent for a moment, Hathaway listened for a while, and Jennifer was obviously unconvinced and muttered a few words, but she didn't dare to continue, fearing that she would really be arrested to see Ms. Delia who taught them, so she turned to Turned around, shut up after all.

Hathaway just fell asleep.

Isn't she worried?She was also worried, but she knew that just crying was useless. If you want to live and live well, you should not worry about it. Anyway, for a day when Mr. Charlie took them in, she had to work hard for a day.

Crying is useless, only working hard and showing their value is the secret to survive the cold winter of life.

So Hathaway forced herself to think about nothing, and after everything returned to calm, Hathaway lay down and forced herself to close her eyes to cultivate sleepiness.

After a while, the girls' dormitory returned to silence, and the crying gradually disappeared, turning into steady breathing.

Outside the door, Delia, the teacher who was investigating, saluted the eldest lady Veronica who came to check quietly at night, with a satisfied smile on her face.

The girls' minds are floating around recently, they all know it, and they are also afraid that something will happen if the girls think too much.Unexpectedly, when I came to check at night, I heard such a conversation.

Ms. Delia was very satisfied with the calm and resourceful response of Hathaway who spoke inside, which made her quite glamorous in front of the eldest lady.

And Veronica also noticed this resolute girl, and left the place where the girls lived with satisfaction, only to hear Delia talking about Hathaway: "She is a very strong girl, there is only one mother and young children in the family. Sister, her father, old Alexander, is a drunkard, but he can do some work anyway, old Alexander died last year, and now their family is basically supported by her."

Veronica nodded, and Delia had a good impression of Hathaway, and said a few more words: "Although she usually doesn't talk much, she is very prestigious among girls, and girls are willing to listen to her arrangements .”

"Understood." After listening to Veronica, she was noncommittal and went back to prepare for her rest.

Du Changqiu didn't know at all that because of his miscalculation, he overturned the car a little bit, and he actually brought such a big fluctuation to the workers.In fact, he only thought about it for two days, and walked in the manor for two days. When he walked to the place where the hounds lived, he was rushed up by a lot of big dogs and acted like a baby. At the same time, Du Changqiu was instantly happy, Also thought of a solution.

That is hunting!

What are you afraid of if you run out of the food stocked in the manor? He is a nobleman, so he can go hunting!You know, the main source of meat for nobles in this era is not farming, but hunting!

Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, if you want to eat meat, go directly to the mountain to pick up the meat, which is the behavior of aristocrats in the Middle Ages!

It has to be said that after all, Du Changqiu is not Charlie himself. If the real figure was here, he would not have forgotten this matter, thinking about it for two days in vain.

Fortunately, when he saw these fluffy hounds, he completely remembered it, and Du Changqiu felt a little dumbfounded.After playing with Fanxing and these cute hounds for a while, Du Changqiu happily washed and rested.

The next day, Du Changqiu woke up early, and the breakfast was not delivered until early in the morning, so he said to Ai Li Nuo Fu who was waiting at the door: "Ai Li Nuo Fu, let everyone get ready, I'm going out to hunt."

Du Changqiu has already made a plan. Although there was a little snowflakes a few days ago, the snow has not yet fallen. Although it is cold recently, it is still suitable for hunting. According to Charlie's memory, at this time in previous years, because the animals are a little dull, some are more able to hunt. Running herbivores are relatively easier to get in winter because they are less responsive.

Although the animals lost a little fat in winter, the animals I raised in this era don't have much meat, so it's not bad if they can be hunted, and no one cares about it.

"Follow your will, Mr. Charlie." After Elinofor answered, he quickly went to make arrangements.He has been by Du Changqiu's side recently, and Du Changqiu has done nothing else, just take him with him every day, and when he encounters any problems, he will analyze them when he solves them. do explain.

Teach others something, and don't avoid Elinorflu.

For example, Jack, the youngest son of David, the farm officer, was transferred to the manor by Du Changqiu as soon as he came down from the field with his father recently, and took over the work of the livestock supervisor of Rudolph, the nephew of Charles, the head of the farm.

The first time Eleanor saw Mr. Charlie show Jack with a friendly smile, how to cut off the balls of rams, bulls and boars very quickly with a knife and tie them quickly, his whole body was shocked. I felt that a certain part of my body curled up in pain.

And Jack is worthy of being the son of old David. Although his character is not clever enough, he is as good at carrying out tasks as his father.

Without any doubt, he took the knife and quickly cleaned up a pen of young boars, and then put them into the specially prepared livestock pen.He also said very loyally and honestly that every time there are male pigs, cattle and sheep that do not need to be bred, he will definitely work hard and cut off the roots of their troubles when they are young.

In this regard, Eleanor thinks that the man in the old David's family is impressive, at least he is not so quick to overcome this kind of psychological barrier. The smarter the person, the more worries he has. In this regard, he is indeed not as good as Jack. .

Du Changqiu was also very satisfied with Jack. He specially found a young man in his teens, because he felt that old people would think a lot and worry a lot, but young people were different. Many, such as Jack, he doesn’t understand at all why the livestock house should be cleaned as clean as his house, nor why the husband separates the original pigs from the new piglets, let alone why the pigs should be kept clean. Grind the husks of pig food and rice finely, and boil them together with a lot of beet pulp.

He didn't understand anything, but he remembered the words his father and old David told him before sending him here, that is, "You must listen to the orders of Mr. and George's housekeeper, and do what they tell you to do."

And what Jack knew better was that after coming to the manor, the small room he lived in was cleaned up, with a brazier and clean bedding inside.

After cleaning the livestock barn clean, shoveling out the excrement of these animals and putting them in buckets every day, and then pushing them into the pit outside the manor, and going to the fixed toilet in the manor to defecate, he felt that the barn was better than the manor. His house is still clean.

Living with good food and good food, Jack's height has increased a lot in more than a month, and his clothes have become smaller.

His spirits also lifted, and he was naturally more grateful to Mr. Charlie, isn't it just cutting eggs for livestock?Jack felt that as long as Mr. Charlie needed it, he was even willing to cut off people's balls!

Of course, Du Changqiu doesn't have this need at present, nor will he need to in the future.

He wanted to hunt right now, but Elinofor led the order to go for a long time, and it was almost an hour after he finished his meal before rushing back, saying repeatedly: "Sir, hunter Gore just came back, he Said to have found several rabbit nests."

Du Changqiu remembered this when he heard this. Hunting in this era is very particular, and the nobles are not willing to waste time looking for prey. Only then will he set off with his entourage.

The entourages around the nobles are all knights, and once they set off, there will be a crowd of people, very majestic.

Du Changqiu didn't have this kind of team. He led the men of Aili Nuofu and Joseph, the patrolmen who managed the manor.

It is estimated that in consideration of the confrontation with the lord next door at any time, at this time in Kansai's manor, all these personnel engaged in armed activities have learned horse riding and some basic sword skills. When Joseph was here, he would arrange them to train every day.

Of course, there are not many off-duty personnel who have to participate in training every day, only a dozen, plus some semi-supplied patrolmen who cannot be off-duty, add up, all the combat power of Wilt Manor is here.

Du Changqiu recalled a bit, and his long-term combat effectiveness was only about thirty or so middle-aged men.

Don't underestimate these [-] or so people, they are all middle-aged men, and they have all experienced training. For a small lord, they are already very good fighting power - if it is a down-and-out baron, there will be less than [-] of them. What about the knights?

Of course, compared to the knights, these patrolmen are still much weaker, but Du Changqiu has fed them very well in the past two months. These patrolmen all have meat on their bodies, and they look energetic. One of them shouted angrily: "Good day, Mr. Charlie!"

"Good day, everyone." Du Changqiu got on his horse and led the people to follow the hunters and hounds all the way to the mountains and forests.

Du Changqiu was full of ambition. What he didn't know was that he went up the mountain to hunt rabbits, and showed everyone the procession from a distance. Before he went up the mountain, the workers of the sugar factory and winery went crazy, saying that it was Charlie. In order to make up for the shortfall, the master has already gone up the mountain to hunt!

But how much food can you get by hunting in the mountains?Master Charlie has not hunted for several months, and has always been pampered. Now he is forced to go up the mountain. It can be seen that the finances of Damon Manor are really not optimistic!

The people who worked said that they had noses and eyes, as if they were about to see the bankruptcy of Dimon's family in the next moment, but except for a very few people who were not clear-headed, most of them were anxious and worried.

They prayed frantically, praying that the God of Light would take care of Mr. Charlie so that he would get a good salary and continue to protect everyone.

After getting along for this period of time, we all know that no one can match the kindness and generosity of Mr. Charlie, and we all don't want to see such a generous person go bankrupt.

"We should eat less." The men in the winery said to each other specially during the meal, "Maybe we should also petition the lord that during this period of time, we can eat no meat and have such good brown bread Eat, what else do we want?"

"Yes! Mike is right!" Someone started, and the men also echoed. Many of them were serfs. Before entering the sugar factory, many of them had never eaten meat in their entire lives.In the past, the masters of Damon's family also let them work, but they would reward the freemen with an autumn harvest festival every year. The freemen could get meat and dinner, but the serfs never had it.

It would be very nice of them to get some bread.

But Master Charlie didn't look down on them, he gave them exactly the same treatment as the freedmen, and even let them eat meat and drink like the freedmen. Everyone couldn't wait for such a master Charlie.At this time, I felt that the master was in trouble, and everyone started to talk about their thoughts.

Andre was very surprised. He looked at the excited people, and the recent worries and depressions in his heart were replaced by emotions. He was also very anxious, and he was worried more—he was not only worried about the recent economic crisis that Mr. Charlie had, but also worried about Mr. Uncle went out to trade with valuable goods, and there were many dangers along the way.

Dere has been very worried about depression, and he is also very worried that the men in the winery will make trouble because the food is not good enough, but he did not expect that these dirty and stupid serfs, in Dere's perception, burst out with a character almost like a gentleman Come.

This allowed Dere to get to know them again. For the first time in his heart, he no longer had a slight sense of superiority and deep-rooted prejudice towards these familiar villagers, but began to have new feelings.

"Master Charlie will be very happy to know that everyone is so loyal." Andre said loudly to everyone, "I will meet Master Charlie in person tonight and make everyone's request to him!"

Everyone was very excited and wanted to tide over the difficulties with the master.

What they didn't expect was that when they got off work that night, everyone who hadn't seen a piece of meat for a long time saw neat, roasted, charred, fat and tender rabbit meat.

A whole large wooden basin exudes a mouth-watering aroma.

The author has something to say: By the way, thank you little angel who keeps leaving messages.After finishing writing and saving manuscripts every day, and then uploading the next day's update, seeing the familiar id leaving a message, I feel very healed in my heart.
