Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Early in the morning, Deputy Captain Bernie pretended to pass by Leonard's room casually. After seeing Leonard reading a book, he passed by Leonard's room three times in various postures.

That strange posture reminded Leonard of JOJO.

Leonard closed the book, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Bernie, tell me what's going on."

Bernie coughed a few times, and said awkwardly: "My lord, the seafood caught in the sea yesterday..."

Leonard shook his head helplessly: "How can a good knight become a foodie... You go to the kitchen and ask them to prepare firewood, and I'll go right away."

But it's time to start doing it.

Bernie immediately cheered and ran away.

Leonard walked unhurriedly behind, thinking about the various ways of making these seafood, which he was actually quite yearning for.

After going to the kitchen, Leonard washed his hands first, and then directed the prepared cooks to start processing the basic ingredients.How to handle these seafood is a technical job. Under Leonard's step-by-step guidance, these cooks are very serious.

Leonard's first dish is spicy fried razor clams.

As the name suggests, this dish calls for the use of chilli peppers.

Leonard first blanched the razor clams, and immediately took them out after they opened, and put them aside to drain the water.

The most important thing about seafood is freshness, but the meat must not be aged.

Leonard looked at the clams over there, and decided to add them and fry them together.

"It's a clam." A cook next to her said.

"I know how to make clams," said another cook.

"You mean to add all the ingredients to the pot and cook for an hour?" asked the cook.

"Isn't this our classic way?" said the cook, "Put some spices in after it's done, basil."

"No, I think some salt is enough," said the cook, "you can add some mint."

Leonard rolled his eyes, listening to this chat, he felt his ears were polluted.

"Okay, stop discussing your classic practice, just watch obediently and study hard," Leonard said.

The two cooks quickly said, "Yes, my lord."

Leonard poured the oil into the pan, and then fried the chili until fragrant.

The smell of chili oil made him cry a little, and his nose was itchy, but the smell was really too fragrant, and the three cooks over there all showed intoxicated expressions.

Leonard added other seasonings, put the blanched razor clams and clams in and fried them, and the fragrant smell immediately overflowed. It didn't diffuse slowly, but overflowed crazily, making the mouth water follow. Madness.

Leonard salivated while frying, the taste of this spicy oil seafood is really fragrant.

The red pepper rewarded by the system has been planted, and now it has germinated. Leonard is very much looking forward to it blooming and bearing fruit.The red pepper rewarded by the system will definitely be more fragrant. By then, hee hee hee hee hee...

Leonard restrained himself from making too weird a laugh, and continued to stir fry the razor clams and clams.It is inconvenient to put out the fire directly here.

The spicy fried razor clams/clams that come out of the pan are shining with red oil, which makes people want to stop.

In addition to being delicious, razor clams are also very nutritious, nourishing yin and clearing heat, rich in iodine, selenium, zinc and manganese, so they are also good for brain health. In addition, like other seafood, they are rich in protein.

"I'll try it first." Leonard said as he picked up a razor clam with chopsticks, broke it and blew it into his mouth.

Leonard has long had chopsticks. Although the memory of the original body is still there, he doesn't like eating food with a knife and fork or even bare hands.

The razor clam meat itself is delicious and tender, and when it is fried in chili oil, the flavors blend together. The aroma of the razor clam itself and the refreshing aroma of chili oil burst out on the tip of the tongue at once, rudely encroaching on the senses of the eater, and Leonard can't help but Cheers.

"You can try it," Leonard said.

The cooks couldn't wait to eat one each.

The heavy seasonings are extremely fragrant, making the fried razor clams full of oily aroma, and they themselves taste very good, with a slight elasticity. Seasonings such as peppers completely wipe out the fishy smell, leaving only fresh fragrance, Spicy, oily and seafood-specific fragrance.There is never a situation where one scent overpowers the other, rather they are all present.

It tastes really endless, one word, fragrant.

The cooks salivated faster after eating one, but they were ashamed to eat the second one.

"Your lord...you are really amazing, any food can become so delicious after passing through your hands." The cook who said 'the classic way of clams' said: "Compared with you, the original clams here are so delicious." The food is really unpalatable to the point where it can only be fed to livestock."

"I won't mention the old methods anymore, woooooo... I must learn new methods well..."

Leonard smiled: "Okay, study hard."

Ah, then my ears won't be polluted by those dark cooking methods anymore.

Although this dish is delicious, Leonard thinks that this method is actually quite unreasonable. The authentic way to eat seafood should be to eat the umami of the seafood itself.

So what Leonard did next was not so heavy-handed.

Leonard's eyes aimed at the few scallops over there.

Scallops are naturally steamed directly!

It's a pity that there are no vermicelli, otherwise the steamed scallops with garlic vermicelli would be a delicious dish.

Catch the sea yesterday, a group of people picked up a total of 15 scallops, which is not bad.After all, this is the original ecological sea, and the marine resources are hardly developed, so the harvest is much, much higher than the modern sea.

The first thing you need to do is to scrub the scallops, because the scallops still have their shells when they are steamed.

Then the digestive glands and gill structures inside were removed.

Digestive glands are equivalent to animals' offal. The inside is very unclean and heavy metals exceed the standard. Food poisoning from eating shellfish is usually due to failure to remove digestive glands.

These are naturally handed over to the cook.

Leonard chopped the garlic, put some of the leftover chili oil from the previous frying, added some sesame seeds, and sautéed it until fragrant.

In terms of aroma this time, it is more intense than the aroma of the previous dish.

Garlic, spicy, and sesame are mixed together...the smell makes everyone outside the kitchen want to move.

The famous writer George Bernard Shaw said that no kind of love is more real than the love of food.

Leonard now has a deep understanding.

The cooks were a little absent-minded when cleaning the scallop shells.

After the scallops were processed, the meat was put on the shells. Leonard thought again that it would be too painful to have no fans, and sooner or later he would have to make fans too!

Leonard poured the fried oil sauce on the scallop meat, and then steamed the scallops in a pan to make the seasoning more flavorful.

Leonard thought again, it's a pity that there is no soy sauce, but it will be brewed sooner or later.

Get it all out...

He is very ambitious now, thinking about doing all kinds of things in his mind.

...Food is the driving force of ambition.

While he was thinking about making all kinds of delicacies, he waited for the scallops to be steamed.

Speaking of which, I also picked up some oysters this time, and when there are more oysters, I can make oyster sauce. The method of making oyster sauce is still simple.

This can be regarded as the first condiment.

Garlic scallops are ready soon. Scallops are also a very nutritious shellfish. It is not only a delicacy, but also a nourishing medicinal material in traditional Chinese medicine. It is one of the traditional Chinese "Eight Treasures of the Sea".

What's even more wonderful is that scallops are very suitable for farming, and their growth speed is very fast.

The scallop was plump and juicy. Leonard took a bite, and the delicious taste bloomed on the tip of his tongue. The delicate meat brought full enjoyment.The seasoning this time is relatively light, and the light seasoning taste is perfectly integrated with the original fragrance of the scallops. The pepper also stimulates the scallop meat to show its own fragrance more vividly.

This time Leonard didn't let the cooks taste it. After all, there were only fifteen of them, and one point was gone.

Most of the other seafood are cleaned and boiled directly, just add some salt and seasoning to make it very fragrant.

This is mainly because other seafood is scattered, so you can't make a crab or a small fish alone.

But this kind of boiled seafood is also very fragrant.

The seafood luncheon officially started.

Apart from Lu Bu, Cai Lun, and Bachelor Rutherford, those who attended this small banquet also included the ten people who went to the seaside with Leonard, five knights and five slaves.

The slaves were terrified and did not dare to sit down. Leonard ordered them directly as the lord, and they sat at the end of the long table.

Leonard moved the first chopsticks first, he ate a scallop, and the familiar aroma when it was dried out of the pan made Leonard salivate.

Put the shellfish in the mouth, it is really juicy and delicious.

When he looked up again, a group of people looked at him with a smirk.

Leonard laughed, "Okay, pass the plates and take them one by one."

A total of fifteen scallops, fourteen people, one per person, Leonard can eat two.

Cai Lun originally said righteously that I have been eating with slaves recently, and I will not eat with the lord.

As a result, Cai Lun couldn't move when the cook brought out the hot and fragrant razor clams.

Cai Lun coughed, and then said somewhat unnaturally: "This time, some slaves also ate this, so if I eat a little bit, it is not considered a breach of the precept."

After all, this taste is too fragrant.

A slave ate a scallop, the scallop was full of juice, and the fresh scent overflowed his mouth, and then he ate a mouthful of bread... Bah, the black bread is so bad, I don’t know when the lord can give us other bread.The slave thought of it naturally.Then he thought, ah, this idea is too arrogant haha.

"Why are you distracted while eating such delicious food?" A slave next to him said bitterly, "Look, the juice is all on the table!"

The slave hurriedly caught the next drop of juice with his mouth. He looked at the juice on the table distressedly, "Oh... just had a very bizarre idea, which distracted me."

"I'd like to hear what bizarre idea made you forget that you are eating such delicious food." The slave next to him said.

The slave smiled and said, "I'm actually wondering when the lord will let us eat other bread."

The slave next to him also laughed: "This idea is really weird... Occasionally eat other food because we have various food sources now, but there is no way to change the staple food, black bread is our staple food. "

Unexpectedly, the lord sitting at the top said: "The staple food will change in the future."

Those two slaves, as well as other slaves, all showed shocked expressions: "My lord..."

"The dilapidated house you lived in before has changed now. You used to have no food, but now it has changed... You will change to more and more places in the future, and your life will become better and better." Lord Lord He continued, "The black bread will also change. The black bread is too unpalatable. I will develop other delicious foods to become the staple food."

Those slaves immediately showed very moved expressions.

"To have a lord like you is really a blessing given to us by God."

Leonard was very confident when he said this.

With the system and him, the 'wise lord', all these things will come true.

……

After eating this seafood feast, Leonard brushed his teeth with willow branches.

There was no toothbrush at this time, so Leonard used this thing to clean his mouth first.

At this time, people did not have the concept of oral hygiene. Many people had bad breath. In addition, they seldom took a bath at that time, and their body odor was heavy.

However, at this time there was a very considerate law. The specific content was: if the wife disliked her husband's bad breath, the wife could file for a divorce if the husband did have bad breath after being tested by a judge.

...Oh, the specific way to check is to go up and smell it.

It is said to be one of the laws judges hate the most.

After seeing Leonard brushing his teeth with wicker, the two housekeepers followed suit. The servant followed suit after seeing it, and the others followed the servants. The method of brushing teeth with wicker quickly spread throughout Little Thorn Castle, and then spread rapidly. Arrived at Evening Bell Town.

For a while the wicker outside was a little bald.

That's pretty good too.

In addition, after Leonard released the civilian restrictions on firewood, everyone took a bath much more than before.

You know, in the past, it was illegal for civilians to pick up firewood, so they could only be forced to buy firewood from the lord, and the number of times they used firewood on weekdays was reduced as much as possible.

As an aside, people in the Middle Ages had good teeth.There are two main reasons. The first is that they can’t eat sugar. The second reason is that the coarse grains they eat on weekdays are actually relatively rich in nutrition, so they don’t have tooth decay, and their teeth are still growing.

……

The slave's house was built, and the slaves lived in wooden houses, and then the former houses were quickly demolished, and the raw materials were disposed of.

The Little Thorn Castle is built along the mountain and is divided into three parts, the inner court, the atrium and the outer court, which is a typical medieval castle structure.

In the inner courtyard there is a large pool with a large fountain above it.

The guardhouse, the great hall, the granary tower, the water tower and the storage room are all here.

In the small square in the middle of the atrium, there is a statue of a knight holding a sword high, with thorns clinging to his body below.

The buildings in the atrium are mainly the Great Hall, the Lord's Tower and the Bachelor's Tower.

Then there is the outer court. The servants live in the outer court near the atrium. This is also where most of the knights live. A small number of knights live in the inner court, which is dedicated to the lord's dispatch at any time and to protect the safety of the lord.

The slave's residence was located deeper in the outer court. At this time, there were rows of wooden houses in which more than 300 slaves lived.From the perspective of modern people, it is quite crowded, but Leonard did some calculations, well, it is a little more relaxed than his university dormitory. After all, his university dormitory has 12 rooms (...), and the slaves here are at least [-] rooms.

In addition, there is a large lake in the outer court, Leonard likes to read by the lake.

Now you can see the cabins where the slaves lived from the lake, and those cabins are pretty nice.Some knights even murmured that they wanted to live there too.

When the process of building the house progressed to the second half, most of the work was handed over to Bachelor Rutherford, and Cai Lun was not very busy, so he could spare time to make weapons with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was very happy about this.

In addition, Lv Bu has been fighting north and south for many years, and he also has his own views on weapons.

Cai Lun is a scientific researcher, and Lu Bu is a front-line worker. The combination of the two has played a wonderful complementary effect.

Together, they made a batch of bows and arrows using the wood rewarded by the system and the animal tendons that Lu Bu had saved before.

The style is the most advanced recurve bow in the Han Dynasty at that time, and the quality is naturally excellent. After Lu Bu used it, it was very smooth, while others could only barely draw it.

Cai Lun immediately made some adjustments. After all, he is a professional. With his adjustments, the knights will have no problems after a period of training.

Then, Leonard proposed making a crossbow.

The deputy captain Bridges next to him showed a horrified expression: "My lord, do you want to make such an immoral weapon?"

The upper class in the Middle Ages really hated the crossbow, because the crossbow was too deadly and dangerous, and the crossbow was notorious.

Compared with bows and other weapons, an ordinary person can use a crossbow without much training, and can use a crossbow to kill a veteran who is very skilled.Therefore, most of the time, nobles and knights would consider crossbows to be immoral weapons, and they felt that crossbows were simply a kind of blasphemy against class.

How could a commoner, or even a slave, kill me with a crossbow?This is simply terrible, this is the weapon of the devil.

In the Middle Ages, a certain pope also tried to ban the use of crossbows.

There were crossbows in the Middle Ages in Europe, but the craftsmanship was naturally much behind that in ancient China. There were crossbows in the late primitive society of ancient China, and they were used habitually in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods.European medieval crossbows can only shoot two arrows in one minute, which is too slow.If they were allowed to see ancient Chinese crossbows, they would probably be quite frightened.

Leonard asked Bridges: "Can you guarantee that our enemies will not use immoral weapons?"

Bridges froze for a moment, then replied, "No."

"Well." Leonard nodded: "There is no distinction between weapons that are moral or immoral, it depends on the person who uses the weapon. If we use cruel weapons to do the right thing, then we are still right."

Bridges was taken aback when he heard that.

Cai Lun nodded at the side: "It is true that it is better to use a crossbow, and we can do it slowly now. I plan to make a crossbow, what do you think, my lord?"

"Eh, what?" Leonard asked.

Cai Lun explained: "It's a crossbow that is pulled with the back of the bow, so that the string can be pulled with all the strength of the whole body, and the power of the arrow will be greater."

Bridges showed a horrified expression: "In this way, even armor can be shot through."

Cai Lun smiled contemptuously, "Just the armor you are using now? Of course."

Listening to Cai Lun's eloquent talk, Leonard immediately felt more secure.

Build your own army even more powerful, and you will feel more secure in this land.

Leonard thought for a while, gestured with his hand, and said: "I remember that kind of ballista, a very large crossbow bolt, several people pulled it out together, and then fired it out with a bang."

"This kind," Cai Lun nodded, "This kind is not difficult to make, but the deterrent effect is greater than the actual combat value."

Leonard star-eyed.

Cai Lun laughed: "Okay, Zaozao."

The vice-captain Bridges next to him was out of his wits.

What a demonic weapon the Lord Lord and Bachelor Cai Lun are going to make...

Are they going to use these weapons in the future...with this demonic weapon?

……

Hey, it's exciting to think about it.

……

Building houses and digging ditches were carried out at the same time.

Both were done almost at the same time.

"Currently, agriculture can only do so much." After the canal was dug, Cai Lun reported to Leonard, "I don't know much about it, maybe I can try to study water conservancy projects. I didn't I haven’t seen any information on this.”

"Let's not use it for now." Leonard said, "Do what you are good at first, maybe I will be able to summon people who can do it later."

"Okay, my lord." Cai Lun said.

"The next step is..." Leonard thought for a while, "Animal husbandry..."

Cai Lun said: "Indeed, there are too few livestock here, and our main source of meat is actually hunting, which is unbelievable."

Leonard said: "The quality of the grass here is good, let's raise sheep."

Leonard didn't casually propose to raise sheep. First of all, the territory is quite short of sheep.

Sheep have wool, goat milk, and people can eat its meat besides the first time. Sheep is really a very good livestock.

Leonard found that the price of wool is quietly rising, and the price of wool must be even higher in the future.

Such things happened in the real medieval history. With the development of the textile industry and the opening of new sea routes, the price of wool rose higher and higher. Coupled with the gradual collapse of serfdom, the enclosure movement began. ——A large number of farmers were driven out of the land by the nobles. The nobles closed the land to raise sheep, because raising sheep can make more money.And the peasants were displaced and miserable. This is also the famous phenomenon of "sheep cannibalize people".

Of course, there is no sign of the disintegration of serfdom in this land, and the development of production here is too backward.

However, the value of wool is beyond doubt.After all, there is no cotton here.

Now the wool can be used by oneself, and the wool can be added to the trade list in the future. After all, the territory will develop commerce and foreign trade sooner or later.

Cai Lun was dumbfounded after hearing this, and said, "I'm not very good at raising sheep."

Leonard sneered and said, "Isn't there Feng Xian..."

Fengxian lived outside the customs since he was a child, so he naturally knows how to feed sheep, and he can also deliver sheep.

"Okay, then go to General Lu." Cai Lun said happily.

When Leonard found Lu Bu, Lu Bu was training the army with great interest.

"My lord! I think the army can go out to practice again! Let's go to a place farther away to fight the robbers!" Lu Bu said excitedly, smiling all over his face.

Recently, he has obtained a lot of weapons, and new leather armor is also being manufactured. Lu Bu is very happy every day.

"Actually, first, there is something you need to do." Leonard said.

"What's the matter? Your lord." Lu Bu asked.

"Raise sheep," Leonard said.

Lu Bu: "..."

The lively smile on Lu Bu's face was like a sea fish that landed on the shore, and it exploded after a couple of flops.

All this is, why...
