Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]
Chapter 39 The New Loyalty Knight Returns Heating...
When Leonard came back this time, he had six more knights loyal to him.
The six knights noticed Leonard's performance at the Harvest Festival and thought that following him would have a bright future, so they came to swear allegiance to him.
They were led by a free knight named Solas.
Oh yes, the one who was going to challenge Lu Bu and was scared by Lu Bu and sat down on the spot.
He later noticed that Leonard was still smiling at Lu Bu who hit him flying, as if he didn't mind, this moved Solas.
Although most of the knights are profit-oriented, there are still a small number of knights who follow their dreams, and Solas believes that he is such a person.He longs for glory and longs to be a legendary knight.
Leonard Green, the young master who was not favored in the past, defected to him and helped him create a legend. Isn't this exactly what the knight novels are about.Know the emperor with insight, and then assist the object of allegiance to become a legendary emperor, and become a generation of legendary knights.
For the knight who came to his door, Leonard naturally accepted it with a smile.
Hey, this is also the benefit of being famous. In this era, reputation is very important, and many people will rush to vote for a name.
Leonard handed over the six knights to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu incorporated them into the team and returned to the Little Thorn Castle on the edge of the foggy plain.
It was another long journey. At this time, this continent has come to the end of the heavy rainy season. The further east you go, the more rain there will be.It often rains on the road, the land is muddy, the voices of people and horses are noisy, and there are endless complaints, and the speed of the team is very slow.
"If I knew it, I would have stayed in Thorn Castle for two more days to completely avoid the rainy season." Leonard complained casually while riding on the horse, and he was soaked through.
"When you first went to Thorn Castle, you complained that it was boring." Maester Rutherford said beside him.
"When I first came here, I thought the noble etiquette was boring." Leonard said, "Then I found out that my family is quite interesting."
Bachelor Rutherford said with emotion: "You have really changed. You were very impatient with your family back then."
"Yeah, I've changed, and you've become more talkative," Leonard said.
"Um, I'm sorry, my lord." Maester Rutherford said immediately.
Moreover, after so many words of emotion, I still don’t give me destiny points, Leonard complained in his heart.
In fact, this is the point.cough.
On the way back, Leonard found new joy.
The various place names along the way are very interesting. There are really all kinds of place names, and there are some indescribable words. Then the locals asked what the source was, and Leonard shook his head after hearing this.
Leonard remembered that he saw on the Internet that there is a place in Austria called 'Fujin', the original word is Fucking, so the village's cards are often taken as souvenirs by tourists, and some people even fucked in front of this sign slap.Later, the road signs were welded with reinforced concrete, so that no one could pass by, and cameras were installed, but this could not stop some brave couples (.)
The history of some villages is also very interesting.Leonard rested in some villages, called the local old people over, and listened to the local history and legends.
On the way, Leonard would go to the window to look at the scenery outside, the desolate and poor village, the pouring rain washing away the barren land, splashing water from the sky to the ground.The sky was full of black clouds, large clusters of large clusters, and the wind whizzed past the top of the head, making the rain even more crazy, so the black clouds all over the sky rushed towards the south.
Inside, a fire was burning in the fireplace, eating away at the moist air and releasing a warm orange glow.Beside the fireplace, the old man slowly told local stories in a low and hoarse voice, and the sound of the rain outside fluctuated, all of which seemed so dreamy that Leonard sometimes didn't know where he was.
In the dream, he rode a giant dragon soaring among the clouds. He passed by the lightning, and the mouth of the dragon made a sound of rolling thunder. Only then did he know that the lightning came first and then the thunder, because the lightning struck the dragon flying around in the clouds. , and then the dragons croaked into thunder, so there is an order.
Leonard laughed when he woke up, it was an interesting dream.
The next day, we embarked on the journey home again.
After entering his own territory, Leonard can take a carriage.
He and Bachelor Rutherford got into the carriage, and he said comfortably: "In this way, we will build a road in the territory, build some post stations along the way, and then plant fruit trees on both sides of the road."
"To develop business?" Maester Rutherford said.
This can provide businessmen with a lot of convenience.
"Well, it can be considered." Leonard said, "Not only for free traders, but also for future development. In the future, there will be more and more trade between the territory and the outside world, which will also help reduce the loss of our caravans on the road."
"It's also a good idea." Bachelor Rutherford said, "But it will take a lot of manpower and material resources. We can raise some taxes on merchants and let them pay for this road."
"The tax can be increased a little bit, symbolic, and it doesn't need to be too much. I will start to do it after I go back. I will build a post station this year and plant fruit trees next year." Leonard said.
"Are you in such a hurry?" Maester Rutherford was taken aback.
"Well." Leonard nodded, "Although these are relatively long tasks, especially fruit trees will only bear fruit after a few years, so it seems that there is no rush."
"Yes," Maester Rutherford said, "I'd like to wait until we've developed a little bit before doing these things."
"But if you plan to do a lot of things, do it immediately, and if you procrastinate, you will never be able to complete it." Leonard said: "A good road is very important for trade exchanges."
"Well... yes." Maester Rutherford was persuaded.
On the way, Leonard, Bachelor Rutherford and Lu Bu discussed a lot of plans for the development of the territory. The three of them together had a feeling of brainstorming.
Leonard is enjoying this feeling now.
He kept the cheerfulness in Thorn Castle.
Leonard discovered his own changes. When he first crossed over, he only thought about not starving to death, and then he thought about solving the problem of food and clothing in the castle, so that everyone in the castle could eat better, and then developed to make the people in the territory less likely to die. Starved to death, and later thought about treating slaves better and improving everyone's living conditions.
Lu Bu wanted soldiers and more equipment, so Leonard would make money to buy war horses and equipment, and Gongsun Sheng wanted to save the common people, so he would treat others better and slowly expand his territory outside.Sometimes Leonard would come up with ideas to expand his territory and save more people. He had all kinds of ideas, but most of them just came up with this idea. As for what to do next, he never had a clear route.
And this trip to Thorn Castle's Harvest Festival, Leonard has completely opened his heart to this world.
I am not alone in this world, and I am not only able to cuddle with people summoned by the system.
I also have my father, mother, and elder brother, and I have a bond with them, and the family is really my backing.
He wants to protect the family. Although it seems that the family does not need to protect it by himself now, he has such an idea in his heart.
Love is a positive motivator, and the belief that it is born can make a person stronger.
……
The team finally reached two-thirds of the gray mist plain, and came to the edge of the dark moon forest.
It wasn't raining much at this time, so Leonard was going to go straight through the forest, looking for some food for the Teeth Ceremony.
The knights under Leonard are already very proficient in hunting. Today they even killed a sharp-bladed wild boar without the help of Lu Bu. Leonard announced that the armor made of wild boar skin was given to their leading knight. And the weapons they make belong to them.All the knights immediately cheered.
The new knights were very surprised. In this situation, the things that the people under their hands hit belonged to the lord, didn't they?Now let the knight keep it for himself?These things are very good. Even if the lord owns them, they should generally be sold for gold coins.
"The lord is such a person." Vice-captain Bernie said to the newly joined Solas, and he knew what he was thinking when he saw Solas' surprised expression.
"Is that so..." Solas was a little dazed.
"Noble gentlemen are all different, but our lord is the best kind of noble lord." Deputy Captain Bernie said, "You work hard, work hard, and your lord will give you everything—no , is something that can give you more than anything you can think of."
Such words of encouragement, as well as the truth that he saw before him, made Solas cheer up in an instant.
This is the Mingjun he expected, and this is the officer he expected.
The knights skinned the sharp-edged pig there. Leonard and Lu Bu got off their horses and took a walk in the forest, trying their luck to find some food.
They suddenly smelled a pungent smell, like the stench of rotting corpses.Lu Bu immediately became vigilant, such a pungent smell could not be emitted by just one or two corpses.Did something happen here?To be on the safe side, they called a few knights to follow the smell.
"Ah, my lord, here, here..." A knight's voice came from the right.
Lu Bu and Leonard went there immediately, only to find two very showy flowers, and the stench of corpses was almost overwhelming.
Looking at this gorgeous flower, Leonard suddenly realized.
Titan konjac is an endangered species in the original world. It is also known as corpse-scented konjac. When it blooms, it emits a stench like a rotting corpse, which is used to attract flies to spread pollen.Titan Konjac is big and beautiful, so it has the title of Kao, but Leonard doesn't think he is so good-looking.
Leonard searched around the Titan konjac again, and finally found some konjac (jǔruò), which is the edible konjac that can be seen in China.This is a good thing, konjac tubers can be eaten, can be made into konjac tofu, and what else is konjac cool.The stems and leaves of konjac can be used as medicine after being washed and dried, and it is very effective for external use to treat swelling and poison.
Konjac is not a modern food. It has been artificially cultivated in my country more than 2000 years ago. The famous "Luoyang Zhigui" Zuo Si wrote that "boil it with ash juice and freeze it, and drown it in bitter wine. Shu people cherish it", which is We boiled konjac with plant ashes.
After Leonard asked the people under his hands to wear gloves, he dug out all the konjacs, and then noted down the location here, planning to go back and find some konjacs to try artificial cultivation.
He very much hopes to increase the diversity of food. Although the amount of food in the territory is already sufficient, there are not many types of food.
The Chinese people's pursuit of delicious food is endless.
Someone once said that mermaids never existed in history, and the evidence is as follows: If they existed, there must be books in China that recorded their taste.
...I have to say that it makes sense.
After a long journey, Leonard finally returned to Little Thorn Castle.
Many people from Evening Bell Town and Chaos Bazaar greeted Leonard spontaneously at the gate of Little Thorn Castle. Everyone cheered in unison, their eyes full of reverence.
Those who bow are freemen, and those who kneel are slaves.
This also shows Leonard's prestige in his territory.
The six newly joined knights were all very surprised. These free knights had been to many places, but this was the first time they saw the people in the territory greet their lord so spontaneously.
Butler Conrad stood at the front, stepped forward to help Leonard get out of the car, and said, "My lord."
Leonard asked expectantly, "Did anyone make trouble while I was away?"
"Um, no." Butler Conrad said.
"Ah, are there no nobles outside bullying you?" Leonard asked.
"No," said Butler Conrad.
...Why does the lord look forward to someone bullying the territory?
Leonard is really looking forward to someone making trouble, so that he can get destiny points.
Leonard showed a disappointed expression: "Hey, that's it..."
Hey, in general novels, after the protagonist leaves, other people will bully the protagonist’s friends or subordinates, and when the protagonist returns, they will slap him in the face. How come I’m gone when it’s my turn...
Leonard slandered in his heart.
Wars between lords in the Middle Ages were quite normal. A failed marriage proposal, a question of interests, or a quarrel would lead to a war.
General kings and great lords don't care.
Leonard thought that it might be because he had too little contact with the nobles in other territories. If he didn't have more contacts, he might start fighting.
...what do you think.
Leonard felt much more comfortable after returning to his territory.
The main reason is that I can finally stop seeing shit and pee everywhere.
These things are really terrifying. When Leonard was wandering around Thorn Castle, he saw the servants of Thorn Castle defecating leisurely in the corridors, and according to the customs at that time, it was a shame to encounter such a thing. If he is rude, even if he is the king, he has to avoid it, and the servant does not need to avoid it.
... is simply enough.
Leonard couldn't help but think of the fear that dominated him when he transmigrated.
Speaking of my second brother, I don’t know if he will shit everywhere (.).
I'm sorry, thinking that his cute second brother with blond hair and blue eyes in aristocratic costumes might do such a thing, Leonard can laugh so much that elementary school students with a radius of ten miles from the rooster crow think that it is dawn and put their schoolbags on their backs to go to school.
Leonard recalled that a judge in a certain city in France wanted to ban open defecation on a street—that street was too close to the city hall, and a group of fuel oil people went to protest, and the leader of the delegation declared: “Our fathers defecated there , now I poop there too, and my kids will poop there too!"
Look, what a sonorous and powerful words.
In the end the judges had to admit that they were born with the power to defecate anywhere.
What is it all about.
High-heeled shoes were originally invented to keep the hem of clothes from […], and it is said that wide-brimmed hats were first invented to prevent the head from getting wet […].
Leonard thought that if he became a king, he would be a tyrant who deprived the people of their freedom to defecate freely.
……
During Leonard's absence, Little Thorn Fort has undergone great changes.
First of all, Gongsun Sheng found a coal mine, and it was an open-pit coal mine. He pumped 50 slaves for mining + coking.
I have to say that the wisdom of the ancient Chinese shocked Leonard again. China had coking technology in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was more than 500 years earlier than the earliest coke in Europe.Making coke is a very complicated process. Just hearing the word desulfurization feels very modern, but the ancients were able to do it, which is amazing.
During Leonard's absence, Gongsun Sheng had produced the first batch of coke, which was placed in the storage room and had not been used yet.
Leonard went to inspect the coal kiln, and some gas would still be released during the coking process, even though Gongsun Sheng paid attention to ventilation.
Leonard told Gongsun Sheng to make a batch of gas masks with activated carbon inside.
Leonard roughly talked about the principle of activated carbon, saying that wood, fruit shells, coal and the like will have many tiny holes after heating in an oxygen-free environment, which is actually the activation process. This kind of thing will adsorb on masks and masks Therefore, it can play the role of anti-virus and dust-proof.
Gongsun Sheng said that they had another kind of gas mask made of a special kind of leaves at that time, and the effect was also very good.
After the two discussed it, Gongsun Sheng thought to make the filter device of the gas mask thicker, so that it would be more effective.So I used activated carbon + that special plant leaf to make a double-layer protective cover.In the end, well, it was too thick after I put it on, and I couldn't breathe, which was embarrassing.
So the gas mask was dismantled in half again and distributed to these slaves.
After the slaves wore it, the pungent smell was much less. After they knew that the lord was thinking about their bodies, they couldn't help being very moved.
It doesn't matter for slaves these days to suffer from such chronic diseases, because most of them can't live for too long, and even most slaves suffer from various diseases, the most common of which are of course various skin diseases , this is undoubtedly a very sad thing.
And with the gas mask given to the slaves this time, Gongsun Sheng's loyalty has finally risen to the top.
Leonard took a comfortable bath after returning to the castle.
After the heavy rainy season, there is a short warm season, and then it will enter winter.
Leonard soaked in the bathtub and thought, he should think about how to deal with winter.
Leonard thought that the Winterfell Castle in A Song of Ice and Fire was built on top of the hot springs, and it was very comfortable.
As a modern traveler, the first thing Leonard thought of was heating. The principle of heating is to inject hot water into the radiator to release heat, and there is a boiler in the middle to heat the circulating water.Leonard thinks that traditional heating is not particularly difficult to make, and if a complete heating system is built, automatic water supply can also be realized, um...can you also get a toilet flush by the way?Leonard still yearns for modern toilets.
Leonard climbed out of the bathtub, dried himself, put on his coat, and called Cai Lun over.
After he told Cai Lun about the idea, Cai Lun lost his voice for a moment and said, "Okay, my lord, I'll design it now."
This theory is quite a big project, and from Cai Lun's point of view, Leonard gave him his "palace" with confidence, which is undoubtedly a great trust.
Although he changed his name to Lord Lord now, Cai Lun has always called His Majesty Leonard in his heart.
Of course, I don’t know what Lu Bu called Leonard in his heart, cough.
This is a big project.
It's easy if you just run hot water through the pipes, but you need to apply pressure to keep the hot water circulating.
However, this kind of hot water is inconvenient to climb too high slopes, so the top floor of the Lord Tower must not be able to go up, and the second floor is still possible.
Cai Lun gave the design drawing three days later, and then started to make the model, and even the model was made a week later.
What the hell is this.Leonard thought.
According to Cai Lun's design, there are two water circulation systems, one is in the atrium, where the lord's tower, the scholar's tower and the knights live, and the other is in the outer court where the slaves live, which is simple, because the slaves live The houses are connected one by one, and there is no slope, so there is no need to put too much pressure on it.
Cai Lun didn't even need to ask Leonard if he needed a design for slaves, he knew that Leonard definitely wanted it.
If the heating is unified in this way, it can also save the cost of burning charcoal separately.
After the model was successful, Cai Lun began to do it with great fanfare.
For a while, the entire Little Thorn Castle was bustling with construction.
……
While Little Thorn Castle was bustling with heating facilities, Leonard began to deal with konjac.
Konjac, like other tubers, has underground tubers for its edible parts.It is best to wear gloves when digging and handling konjac, otherwise the same consequences as in close contact with yams will occur.Although konjac can be cooked directly into soup, Leonard wants to make konjac tofu this time. He thinks this is the best way to eat konjac!
Konjac is kneaded into konjac paste first, and then alkaline water is added to it.
Alkaline water Leonard uses lime water, and these things have been in constant supply since Gongsun Sheng came.
Gongsun Sheng is really a god forever, so is Cai Lun, well, they are all.
Leonard looked at the remaining lye and thought that he could use the lye to make some handmade soap. Hey, make pure olive oil soap and add some goat's milk, it might be good to use.Add some other things, can it be sold outside...
After distraction, continue to process konjac.
Leonard used to like to eat Weilong's spicy konjac shreds, and the pickled peppers are also delicious, but he insists that the spicy konjac shreds is the best.Crispy, chewy, and a healthy and slimming food... Of course, that kind of snack is definitely not very healthy and slimming, after all, there are too many oils and other additives in it.
Konjac was also called demon taro in ancient times, and it also had the title of "removing intestinal sand".It has many functions, such as lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, dispelling toxins, dredging the veins... It sounds like something that nobles who eat too much greasy food should eat.
While stirring the konjac puree, Leonard thought, well, after making some, he can give it to his father and elder brother to taste. As for the second brother, oh, the second brother is an excellent fighter, he doesn't need special blood sugar lowering , Well, yes, that's it, I trust my second brother's body to do this.he thought.
The second elder brother Vito: Let the horse run instead of grazing.Woo.
Soon, the konjac paste solidified into konjac tofu.
There is konjac gum in konjac tofu, which is the source of the good taste of konjac.Konjac gum is a thermally irreversible gel formed after alkali reaction, the taste, hehehe, hehehe.
The next step is the favorite time to fry. Leonard cut the konjac tofu into strips, and then put chili, garlic sprouts, sugar, salt, wine, garlic, and some spices in the pot. After frying the aroma, put the konjac Put the strips in and stir-fry repeatedly.
Oily, firm, smooth and tender, the bite tastes great and crunchy.
The fragrant chili oil is dipped on the konjac sticks, which tastes rich, fragrant and tender, making people feel ecstatic.
After taking a few mouthfuls, Leonard was too spicy. He drank a few mouthfuls of fruit juice, and then licked his lips: "Send some to General Lu and the three bachelors, and give the rest to the two stewards for them to share."
"Okay, my lord," said the cooks.
Among Lu Bu and the three scholars, Lu Bu gave the most, because he had to give the army under him, Gongsun Sheng the least, because he just tried something new and didn't eat much.
But Taoist priests eat spicy konjac shreds, the sense of sight itself is a bit strange...
"There are not many konjacs dug this time. Let a few slaves identify the seedlings here, and then go to the forest to look for them. Remember to wear gloves when you find them." Leonard thought for a while and said: "Consider this matter with Crowe. Ning said something and let him arrange it."
"Okay," said the cook.
Everything is back on track.
It feels so good to be back in Little Thorn!
The six knights noticed Leonard's performance at the Harvest Festival and thought that following him would have a bright future, so they came to swear allegiance to him.
They were led by a free knight named Solas.
Oh yes, the one who was going to challenge Lu Bu and was scared by Lu Bu and sat down on the spot.

Leonard handed over the six knights to Lu Bu, and Lu Bu incorporated them into the team and returned to the Little Thorn Castle on the edge of the foggy plain.
It was another long journey. At this time, this continent has come to the end of the heavy rainy season. The further east you go, the more rain there will be.It often rains on the road, the land is muddy, the voices of people and horses are noisy, and there are endless complaints, and the speed of the team is very slow.

This can provide businessmen with a lot of convenience.
"Well, it can be considered." Leonard said, "Not only for free traders, but also for future development. In the future, there will be more and more trade between the territory and the outside world, which will also help reduce the loss of our caravans on the road."

He very much hopes to increase the diversity of food. Although the amount of food in the territory is already sufficient, there are not many types of food.
The Chinese people's pursuit of delicious food is endless.
Someone once said that mermaids never existed in history, and the evidence is as follows: If they existed, there must be books in China that recorded their taste.
...I have to say that it makes sense.
After a long journey, Leonard finally returned to Little Thorn Castle.
Many people from Evening Bell Town and Chaos Bazaar greeted Leonard spontaneously at the gate of Little Thorn Castle. Everyone cheered in unison, their eyes full of reverence.
Those who bow are freemen, and those who kneel are slaves.
This also shows Leonard's prestige in his territory.
The six newly joined knights were all very surprised. These free knights had been to many places, but this was the first time they saw the people in the territory greet their lord so spontaneously.
Butler Conrad stood at the front, stepped forward to help Leonard get out of the car, and said, "My lord."
Leonard asked expectantly, "Did anyone make trouble while I was away?"
"Um, no." Butler Conrad said.
"Ah, are there no nobles outside bullying you?" Leonard asked.
"No," said Butler Conrad.
...Why does the lord look forward to someone bullying the territory?
Leonard is really looking forward to someone making trouble, so that he can get destiny points.
Leonard showed a disappointed expression: "Hey, that's it..."
Hey, in general novels, after the protagonist leaves, other people will bully the protagonist’s friends or subordinates, and when the protagonist returns, they will slap him in the face. How come I’m gone when it’s my turn...
Leonard slandered in his heart.
Wars between lords in the Middle Ages were quite normal. A failed marriage proposal, a question of interests, or a quarrel would lead to a war.
General kings and great lords don't care.
Leonard thought that it might be because he had too little contact with the nobles in other territories. If he didn't have more contacts, he might start fighting.
...what do you think.
Leonard felt much more comfortable after returning to his territory.
The main reason is that I can finally stop seeing shit and pee everywhere.
These things are really terrifying. When Leonard was wandering around Thorn Castle, he saw the servants of Thorn Castle defecating leisurely in the corridors, and according to the customs at that time, it was a shame to encounter such a thing. If he is rude, even if he is the king, he has to avoid it, and the servant does not need to avoid it.
... is simply enough.
Leonard couldn't help but think of the fear that dominated him when he transmigrated.
Speaking of my second brother, I don’t know if he will shit everywhere (.).
I'm sorry, thinking that his cute second brother with blond hair and blue eyes in aristocratic costumes might do such a thing, Leonard can laugh so much that elementary school students with a radius of ten miles from the rooster crow think that it is dawn and put their schoolbags on their backs to go to school.
Leonard recalled that a judge in a certain city in France wanted to ban open defecation on a street—that street was too close to the city hall, and a group of fuel oil people went to protest, and the leader of the delegation declared: “Our fathers defecated there , now I poop there too, and my kids will poop there too!"
Look, what a sonorous and powerful words.
In the end the judges had to admit that they were born with the power to defecate anywhere.
What is it all about.
High-heeled shoes were originally invented to keep the hem of clothes from […], and it is said that wide-brimmed hats were first invented to prevent the head from getting wet […].
Leonard thought that if he became a king, he would be a tyrant who deprived the people of their freedom to defecate freely.
……
During Leonard's absence, Little Thorn Fort has undergone great changes.
First of all, Gongsun Sheng found a coal mine, and it was an open-pit coal mine. He pumped 50 slaves for mining + coking.
I have to say that the wisdom of the ancient Chinese shocked Leonard again. China had coking technology in the Southern Song Dynasty, which was more than 500 years earlier than the earliest coke in Europe.Making coke is a very complicated process. Just hearing the word desulfurization feels very modern, but the ancients were able to do it, which is amazing.
During Leonard's absence, Gongsun Sheng had produced the first batch of coke, which was placed in the storage room and had not been used yet.
Leonard went to inspect the coal kiln, and some gas would still be released during the coking process, even though Gongsun Sheng paid attention to ventilation.
Leonard told Gongsun Sheng to make a batch of gas masks with activated carbon inside.
Leonard roughly talked about the principle of activated carbon, saying that wood, fruit shells, coal and the like will have many tiny holes after heating in an oxygen-free environment, which is actually the activation process. This kind of thing will adsorb on masks and masks Therefore, it can play the role of anti-virus and dust-proof.
Gongsun Sheng said that they had another kind of gas mask made of a special kind of leaves at that time, and the effect was also very good.
After the two discussed it, Gongsun Sheng thought to make the filter device of the gas mask thicker, so that it would be more effective.So I used activated carbon + that special plant leaf to make a double-layer protective cover.In the end, well, it was too thick after I put it on, and I couldn't breathe, which was embarrassing.
So the gas mask was dismantled in half again and distributed to these slaves.
After the slaves wore it, the pungent smell was much less. After they knew that the lord was thinking about their bodies, they couldn't help being very moved.
It doesn't matter for slaves these days to suffer from such chronic diseases, because most of them can't live for too long, and even most slaves suffer from various diseases, the most common of which are of course various skin diseases , this is undoubtedly a very sad thing.
And with the gas mask given to the slaves this time, Gongsun Sheng's loyalty has finally risen to the top.
Leonard took a comfortable bath after returning to the castle.
After the heavy rainy season, there is a short warm season, and then it will enter winter.
Leonard soaked in the bathtub and thought, he should think about how to deal with winter.
Leonard thought that the Winterfell Castle in A Song of Ice and Fire was built on top of the hot springs, and it was very comfortable.
As a modern traveler, the first thing Leonard thought of was heating. The principle of heating is to inject hot water into the radiator to release heat, and there is a boiler in the middle to heat the circulating water.Leonard thinks that traditional heating is not particularly difficult to make, and if a complete heating system is built, automatic water supply can also be realized, um...can you also get a toilet flush by the way?Leonard still yearns for modern toilets.
Leonard climbed out of the bathtub, dried himself, put on his coat, and called Cai Lun over.
After he told Cai Lun about the idea, Cai Lun lost his voice for a moment and said, "Okay, my lord, I'll design it now."
This theory is quite a big project, and from Cai Lun's point of view, Leonard gave him his "palace" with confidence, which is undoubtedly a great trust.
Although he changed his name to Lord Lord now, Cai Lun has always called His Majesty Leonard in his heart.
Of course, I don’t know what Lu Bu called Leonard in his heart, cough.
This is a big project.
It's easy if you just run hot water through the pipes, but you need to apply pressure to keep the hot water circulating.
However, this kind of hot water is inconvenient to climb too high slopes, so the top floor of the Lord Tower must not be able to go up, and the second floor is still possible.
Cai Lun gave the design drawing three days later, and then started to make the model, and even the model was made a week later.
What the hell is this.Leonard thought.
According to Cai Lun's design, there are two water circulation systems, one is in the atrium, where the lord's tower, the scholar's tower and the knights live, and the other is in the outer court where the slaves live, which is simple, because the slaves live The houses are connected one by one, and there is no slope, so there is no need to put too much pressure on it.
Cai Lun didn't even need to ask Leonard if he needed a design for slaves, he knew that Leonard definitely wanted it.
If the heating is unified in this way, it can also save the cost of burning charcoal separately.
After the model was successful, Cai Lun began to do it with great fanfare.
For a while, the entire Little Thorn Castle was bustling with construction.
……
While Little Thorn Castle was bustling with heating facilities, Leonard began to deal with konjac.
Konjac, like other tubers, has underground tubers for its edible parts.It is best to wear gloves when digging and handling konjac, otherwise the same consequences as in close contact with yams will occur.Although konjac can be cooked directly into soup, Leonard wants to make konjac tofu this time. He thinks this is the best way to eat konjac!
Konjac is kneaded into konjac paste first, and then alkaline water is added to it.
Alkaline water Leonard uses lime water, and these things have been in constant supply since Gongsun Sheng came.
Gongsun Sheng is really a god forever, so is Cai Lun, well, they are all.
Leonard looked at the remaining lye and thought that he could use the lye to make some handmade soap. Hey, make pure olive oil soap and add some goat's milk, it might be good to use.Add some other things, can it be sold outside...
After distraction, continue to process konjac.
Leonard used to like to eat Weilong's spicy konjac shreds, and the pickled peppers are also delicious, but he insists that the spicy konjac shreds is the best.Crispy, chewy, and a healthy and slimming food... Of course, that kind of snack is definitely not very healthy and slimming, after all, there are too many oils and other additives in it.
Konjac was also called demon taro in ancient times, and it also had the title of "removing intestinal sand".It has many functions, such as lowering blood sugar, lowering blood fat, lowering blood pressure, dispelling toxins, dredging the veins... It sounds like something that nobles who eat too much greasy food should eat.
While stirring the konjac puree, Leonard thought, well, after making some, he can give it to his father and elder brother to taste. As for the second brother, oh, the second brother is an excellent fighter, he doesn't need special blood sugar lowering , Well, yes, that's it, I trust my second brother's body to do this.he thought.
The second elder brother Vito: Let the horse run instead of grazing.Woo.
Soon, the konjac paste solidified into konjac tofu.
There is konjac gum in konjac tofu, which is the source of the good taste of konjac.Konjac gum is a thermally irreversible gel formed after alkali reaction, the taste, hehehe, hehehe.
The next step is the favorite time to fry. Leonard cut the konjac tofu into strips, and then put chili, garlic sprouts, sugar, salt, wine, garlic, and some spices in the pot. After frying the aroma, put the konjac Put the strips in and stir-fry repeatedly.
Oily, firm, smooth and tender, the bite tastes great and crunchy.
The fragrant chili oil is dipped on the konjac sticks, which tastes rich, fragrant and tender, making people feel ecstatic.
After taking a few mouthfuls, Leonard was too spicy. He drank a few mouthfuls of fruit juice, and then licked his lips: "Send some to General Lu and the three bachelors, and give the rest to the two stewards for them to share."
"Okay, my lord," said the cooks.
Among Lu Bu and the three scholars, Lu Bu gave the most, because he had to give the army under him, Gongsun Sheng the least, because he just tried something new and didn't eat much.
But Taoist priests eat spicy konjac shreds, the sense of sight itself is a bit strange...
"There are not many konjacs dug this time. Let a few slaves identify the seedlings here, and then go to the forest to look for them. Remember to wear gloves when you find them." Leonard thought for a while and said: "Consider this matter with Crowe. Ning said something and let him arrange it."
"Okay," said the cook.
Everything is back on track.
It feels so good to be back in Little Thorn!
