Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Transforming bread with yeast is a big deal, after all, bread is a staple in this world.

The original bread in this world, the black bread as hard as a weapon, needless to say, the taste of the white bread is not very good, anyway, Leonard was physically and mentally tired when he ate it.

Even Cai Lun couldn't help sighing once: "My lord, do you think you can get rice in the future?"

I miss the fragrant rice.

Leonard looked at the Destiny Points in hand, a little undecided.There are currently 450 Destiny Points. If you want to draw a lottery, you can draw nine times in one go, and the next time you call, you need 800 Destiny Points.

Forget it, put it aside for now, there are still a lot of things to do right now, what is lacking now are all kinds of seeds, this will be a matter of next spring, maybe I can accumulate 800 destiny points this winter, if I can’t If you want to start, it is also possible to smoke a bunch at once before the spring of next year.

After making a decision, Leonard no longer struggled, and started tinkering with making bread with yeast dough.

Compared with the commercial yeast bought in the original world, natural yeast-fermented bread tastes better. The inside of the bread is moist and soft, and the taste is quite good.Of course, there are also some shortcomings, such as instability and slow fermentation. Under the background of this era, these shortcomings are completely forgivable.

Leonard first asked the cook to try making the first batch of bread, and at dinner that night, he replaced all the bread with fermented bread.

The main side dish is goulash with potatoes.

Even aristocrats eat less beef on weekdays, because cattle are precious resources. Farm cattle can plow the land, work, and grind, not to mention dairy cows. People here cannot do without dairy products, and now in London Under the promotion of Nader, everyone also started to drink hot milk.

In ancient China, it was illegal to eat farm cattle. Only when the cattle accidentally fell to their death could they be eaten.Therefore, the cattle of some dignitaries and dignitaries 'accidentally fell to death' every day, or whenever a distinguished guest came, their cattle would 'accidentally fall to death'.

Now the sheep flock in Little Thorn Castle is growing day by day. Next year, another batch of wool will be harvested. Leonard is planning to further expand the sheep flock and set aside a bunch of slaves to specialize in raising sheep.

The breeding of other livestock should also be put on the agenda, such as cows, pigs, horses... Needless to say, chickens, ducks and geese, these poultry grow fast, and there are eggs, almost every freeman will raise some.

This beef stew with potatoes is simple, but it is very hard and time-consuming to make.

The beef is stewed to taste, tender and palatable, creamy and fragrant, part of the potatoes next to it has melted into the soup, which makes the soup more fragrant, the soup is rich and viscous, and the oil and potatoes are mixed in it. It's perfect for dipping bread.

And the stewed overcooked beef is really delicious, with excellent taste, tender and firm, full of stickiness.

Finely chopped potatoes and rich beef flavor, the soup soaks the bread, and all kinds of delicacies are mixed in the mouth in one bite, and the delicious taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, making the eyes of the eater brighten up.

Although this kind of food is not particularly amazing, it is very filling, and it tastes particularly fulfilling. It is not bland or particularly greasy. When dipped in bread, it makes people take one bite after another and can't stop. When you find out , my stomach is already full.

But this is not the protagonist of today's dinner.

The star of today's dinner is fermented bread.

Everyone found that the taste of the bread was unprecedentedly delicate, light in the mouth, fragrant and soft, almost full of surprises.

Tear up a piece and see that there are a lot of air bubbles inside.

If I eat it occasionally, I feel that this is not a particularly amazing delicacy, but when I think about it, this is a staple food, and I can eat it every day in the future, and I won’t have to eat that kind of hard bread that makes people panic!

Maester Rutherford: "Oh oh oh oh—"

Gongsun Sheng nodded: "The lord has fermented the bread."

"Well, I took the time to make the yeast a few days ago." Leonard said.

Cai Lun also nodded: "It's really a familiar smell."

Lu Bu: "That's right, I really miss it."

Maester Rutherford "oh" by himself for a long time, but found that no one "oh" with him, he couldn't help being a little embarrassed.

Bachelor Rutherford: "...you have all eaten."

Maester Rutherford: Dumb.gif.

"Yeah." Gongsun Sheng said, "It's already existed in our place."

Maester Rutherford: "...All right."

He suddenly felt that he was so ignorant as a dignified scholar.

Yeast was used to brew wine during the Yin and Shang Dynasties in China, and yeast steamed buns began in the Han Dynasty, which is indeed very early.

The four ancient civilizations, the only ancient civilization with a complete inheritance.The more you know, the more you can understand the weight of it.

The feeding of the yeast is left to the cooks. The cooks don’t understand how to cultivate the yeast stock solution, and Leonard doesn’t need them to understand. He also made several kinds of yeast dough with different flours, including wheat, Rye, oats, so you can make different kinds of bread.In addition, different types of fermented yeast, grape juice, and even roses were made.

The dough produced by different types of yeast has different flavors. Leonard made many attempts. Although there were some failures, most of them succeeded after he became proficient.

Everyone in the castle was very happy to be a guinea pig for Leonard.

Food never ends.

The time has passed with all kinds of busy work, and the period after the heavy rainy season has always been the busiest time.

The free folk are eager to grind the harvested grain into flour, bake it into bread, brew it into beer, and have to find time to repair their houses to survive the winter.

But this year is okay, because they directly grind their own grain with Leonard's hydraulic mill, which saves a lot of time.

Leonard sent someone to tell the people in Evening Bell Town and Chaos Bazaar that before winter this year, they can stop killing livestock and use copper coins to buy fodder in Little Thorn Castle.

In addition, Little Thorn Fort will always sell various foods in winter, and the prices are not high.

Leonard: This is a relief charity, but of course it is impossible to do it for free. Fees are a threshold. If it is free for the public, there will only be more problems.

Of course, some people with special circumstances who can’t even afford a copper coin will have something to eat. Leonard plans to emulate the church and have a dinner every weekend. Leftover food and bread plates—because there are The plates were all made of hard bread—alms for the poor.

During this time, Leonard also asked his cook to make a large batch of jelly.

It's time to start the jelly trade with those nobles, which means that Leonard needs to form a second caravan. Dorothea is still in charge of the original caravan, and the second caravan is responsible for completing Leonard and those caravans. Lord's specific trade.

Leonard called Dorocia directly: "Dorocia, do you know any merchants?"

"There are many, my lord, I don't know what you need." Dorothea said.

"I need someone who can be the leader of the caravan." Leonard said, "I'm going to form a second caravan, focusing on trading with the nobles. Be smart and don't be tricked by other nobles. If you can, ask some more Other noble information."

Leonard didn't hold out much hope when he said this, because he knew he was asking too much.

In the end, I didn't expect Dorocia to say: "I happen to know such a person, my lord."

Leonard's eyes lit up: "Who is it? What's your name? Where are you now?"

Dorothea said: "His name is Emerson, and he is a merchant in the chaotic market. In the past, um, he used to be in the robber business just like me."

"I see." Leonard nodded, "If it's a robber business, then it's powerful enough."

Dorocia wasn't shy either. He said, "Compared to ordinary businessmen, we are indeed more courageous, but we also have no bottom line."

"You actually admitted that," Leonard said.

"Maybe there are people in the world who can live well without hurting other people, but many people live like that just because they can't hurt others, or they don't get much benefit from hurting others. If someone tells them that you hurt others I think most people will do the same when they will not be punished but benefited.” Dorothea shook her head, “So I will accept this without much burden. Of course, this can also be done. It was seen as my own sophistry of my actions."

There was a smell of autumn coming to an end in the air.

The autumn wind blew so hard yesterday that it blew off the yellow and green leaves.From the window, the street seemed to be raining darkly.The wind stopped in the afternoon of the next day, and the leaves sprinkled all over the streets, balconies, and squares, and fell to the ground.

Leonard said: "You have thought a lot..."

"Because I can't live without thinking about it," Dorothea said softly.

"No, I think you might be better off if you don't think about it," Leonard said, "living as heartlessly and unscrupulously as anyone else in this era."

"Then, the purpose of thinking about this is to let me live and live like a human being." Dorothea said.

This topic is too dignified.

Leonard thought of Milton, the political officer who was bullied on campus.

I am really lucky to be able to time-travel into this Leonard Green.

Dorothea seemed to realize that he shouldn't be talking about this topic with the lord, so he turned the topic back on track: "Emerson is a very capable businessman, but sometimes he thinks too much... um... What I mean is that he is closer to the type of person that the lord said would do whatever it takes to survive."

Leonard said with a half-smile: "Isn't he friends with you? You're betraying him, right? In that case, it's not easy for him to take advantage of me."

"I am loyal to the lord. I just know him. I have known him for a long time, so I naturally know what kind of person he is." Dorocia said, "So I want to remind the lord."

"Since you know what kind of person he is, then you still recommend him to me?" Leonard asked.

"There are two reasons. First, he is capable. It would be a waste of words to be used by such an incompetent person." Dorocia said, "The second reason..."

"What's the second reason?" Leonard said.

"I just said, my lord, I have known him for a long time." Dorothea said.

Leonard smiled: "Okay, you can handle this matter, I like the way you distinguish between public and private."

"Thank you, my lord." Dorothea said, "I like everything about your lord."

Leonard wavered a little.Hey.

……

Emerson is depressed now.

After the Chaos Bazaar was taken over by the young master of the Green family, Emerson planned his next move.

He thought very well, if the lord can forgive the robber, he must be able to forgive him too.He can do business with the lord lord, and he can use the name of the nobleman to make money under the lord Hong En's disguise.

After he heard that the lord bought a war horse, he immediately went to look for the war horse. He told Dorocia that he would directly send the lord a precious war horse in order to gain the lord's friendship.That was indeed what he intended.

It is not easy for ordinary merchants to find war horses. The sale of war horses among the people is a gray industry. He went to several places and found that war horses were not traded in those places. Incorporated, the war horse market has almost collapsed by two-thirds.

Emerson returned to the Chaotic Bazaar, thinking of going further afield.

Then he learned that his old acquaintance, Dorothea, had actually gone to work as a sailing team.

What the hell is this, Emerson thought, didn’t that guy in Dorocia look down on nobles, why did he do this all of a sudden... Besides, he was as skeptical as everyone else about what the sea squad was, and he thought it belonged to the nobles A little trick, used to cheat money and labor.

As a result, I didn't expect that the Haihai team was still so impressive.

However, no matter how impressive it is, it is not as profitable as being a businessman.

Emerson was a little puzzled. He left the Chaotic Bazaar and went to a farther place, and finally bought a war horse. When he came back, he learned that Dorothea had become the caravan leader of Little Thorn Castle.

Emerson: "..."

Fuck, this Dorothea, grab his job, crap crap.

Thanks to myself going over to comfort him, it turns out that he has already been caressing in his heart.

At this time, the lord is on a long journey to Linye City to participate in the Harvest Festival.

At this time, the rainy season has arrived.

The war horse that Emerson bought was actually sick. He was very worried. He invited people to treat the horse. Some people said that the horse needed sincere prayers, some said that the horse needed an enema after school, and some said that the devil had invaded. The horse's head, so nails dipped in holy water must be driven into the horse's head... Emerson drove all these people away.These are all methods of treating people. He has traveled far and wide for a long time, and he can see the consequences of these people who use strange and weird methods of treatment.

He took good care of the horse, and the horse finally healed itself.

At this time, the lord also came back from Linye City, so Emerson hurriedly led the horse to Little Thorn Castle.

As a result, the butler of Little Thorn Castle said with a smile: "Now the castle has an order for [-] Eagle Bruce horses, so we won't buy the horses for the time being."

Emerson: ……………

Emerson swallowed the sentence "I want to dedicate this war horse directly to the lord".

There are already so many war horses in the territory, and offering war horses is not even the icing on the cake.

Moreover, what the lord bought was the war horse of Eagle Bruce, and his own war horse was completely incomparable to that.

Emerson was so sad that he took the horse back.

This is also a hair.Now the lord does not pay much attention to war horses. He is a businessman, so he naturally knows that this investment has failed.

But the only good news is that war horses are hard currency and will not depreciate.

And that fellow Dorothea has become the leader of the Little Thorn Fort caravan... Emerson was very depressed.

If I had known that I would also be a member of the sea catching team, it would be good to be close to the lord.

How about asking Dorothea to intercede?

... not very good.

Emerson knew that although Dorothea had some kind of friendship with him that he had known for many years, he was not ashamed of some of his actions. He didn't know how to be ridiculed by him when he went to ask for help.Oh no, he doesn't laugh at himself, he's not me.Emerson said.He would just look at him with those eyes and say lightly, do you think I will trust you like I did at the beginning?Emerson.

After going back and forth like this a few times, Emerson had run out of money. It seemed that he had no choice but to leave the Chaotic Bazaar.

Made.Originally Dorothea wanted to leave, but now he was forced to leave.

The villainous businessman Emerson is depressed.

The wind blew all night yesterday, and it didn't stop until noon today.

Emerson thought, let's get rid of the horses now, because winter is coming soon, and fodder money is a big expense.

Then leave the chaotic market by yourself and find other robbers to cooperate.

He is not very happy to let him do business slowly because he is used to the quick way of getting money.

At this moment, Dorothea, whom he had not seen for a long time, knocked on his door.

"What are you doing here?" Emerson said gruffly.

Dorothea looked him up and down: "You seem to be unlucky recently."

"Luck? Come on, luck has never been on my side," Emerson said.

Dorothea walked in, poured a glass of wine, and said, "It sounds like you have something to say."

"Hey, put down my drink!" said Emerson. "I mean what I say."

Dorothea poured the wine into her mouth and put it down: "Okay, I put it down....I know you have all kinds of bad qualities, but not self-destructive."

"I'm not giving up on myself, I'm just being mad at you," Emerson said.

"Oh, that's my honor." Dorothea said, "Originally, I came here to pass on the Lord's will to you."

Emerson looked up.

"Little Thorn Castle is going to form a second caravan." Dorothea said.

Emerson's eyes lit up.

"Well, you are right. At my suggestion, you are in charge of the second caravan." Dorothea said.

Emerson jumped up: "Oh, Dorothea, my dear Dorothea, I just knew you were my best friend..."

Dorothea said without changing his face: "I didn't tell the lord that way, I just told him that I have known you for a long time, you are capable, but in terms of your personal qualities..." He paused deliberately, "I believe You know what to do."

Dorothea's words were actually very ingenious. If the two had no friendship but just acquaintances, then Leonard would not have to worry about Dorothea's feelings when dealing with Emerson in the future.And it is impossible for Emerson to use Dorothea to do some bad things, this is the so-called warning.

"I see," Emerson said.He could tell from the changes in the chaotic market and Evening Bell Town that the lord is not a simple person. Coupled with the supervision of Dorocia next to him, he probably couldn't make any small moves.However, he doesn't have to do these small tricks. If he can command a caravan in a territory, the benefits from serious channels will be too much, which is enough for him.

Emerson asked: "But I'm curious, is that young master of the Green family really worth it?"

"I give my all in everything I do," Dorothea said.

"It's true, you almost never leave yourself any retreat." Emerson agreed.

"Well, what's more, he is worth it." Dorothea said seriously: "He is the most worthy nobleman I have ever seen."

Emerson paused.Say it in your heart.Well, you're the most giving person I've ever met, it's a pity I'm a born villain and would never give to anyone else.

……

Dorothea brought Emerson to Little Thorn Castle.

After Leonard saw Emerson, he felt that he looked like a typical shrewd businessman.

In addition to delivering jelly this time, Leonard also asked Emerson to bring some bread to see if he could establish a long-term cooperative trade relationship with bread.

Leonard told Emerson about his mission this time, which nobles he needed to give gifts to, inquired about their territories by the way, and collected some information along the way.

"What is the purpose of collecting information?" Emerson asked. "I don't intend to offend you, Lord Lord, but it will be more efficient to collect information if you know this."

Leonard paused, and said bluntly: "Plunder, population, war."

Emerson didn't change his face: "Understood, my lord."

Leonard thought to himself, oh, this Emerson is really good, and he can hold his breath.

After Emerson left the hall, he said excitedly to Dorothea: "Fuck, what did your lord just say? Fuck, plunder, shit, war, you didn't tell me that."

Hmm... Looks like Leonard misunderstood.

"I don't know either." Dorothea said, "Actually, I stayed for a while just now..." Then he said fiercely: "You have to keep the lord a secret, since the lord told you this, Then he sees you as..."

"I still know that I'm a person from Little Thorn Castle, or a dead person." Emerson was still a little scared, "Fuck, my lord is too, too...is this the aura of a nobleman? Compare it with the past The robbers who deal with them feel like they are really paper tigers."

……

Bread is what we all need, it's the staple food of this day and age.

The taste of yeast-made bread is exponentially higher than that of the original bread.

Leonard is confident that these breads will be sold at a relatively high price. Of course, it can't be compared with jelly, but the water will last forever.

Another task of Emerson is to buy a batch of hops with the nobles, and it is time to brew beer.

Beer without hops is terrible.

The main raw materials of beer are these: malt, hops, yeast and water, and even things such as fruits, spices, coffee beans, chocolate, etc. can be added to add various flavors.

After Leonard delivered the goods to Emerson, he dispatched a team of 30 people to escort Emerson.

Needless to say, this team also assumed the role of surveillance in addition to escort.

Not long after the Emerson caravan set off, Cai Lun's first heating equipment was made.He built a boiler room in the atrium, where he added water, boiled it, and pressurized it.Of course, the boiler room was built with bricks.

Cai Lun also led the water channel of the waterwheel here, which means that there is no need to carry water back and forth, just open the valve of the water outlet in the waterwheel.

Many places in the castle now really have a semi-mechanized feeling.

Naturally, coke is used to boil water, which is much more economical than charcoal, and has higher heat.A steady stream of scalding hot water flows through the pipes through each room, releasing warmth.

This system looks like a godsend.

Everyone was very happy, and after being happy, they said: "Bachelor Cai Lun, stop the test immediately after running, we are going to die of heat."

...Well, there is no way, it's still autumn tiger time hahaha.

It was also the first time for Cai Lun to preside over such a large project. He was sweating profusely and ran around to check, but it turned out that there was no problem at all.The most difficult part is the pressurization part. After Cai Lun solves it, there is no technical content in other places.Oh... Of course it is the technical content in his eyes.

Because this was the first time, Cai Lun happily circulated the water in the heater a few more times. Finally, everyone ran out of the castle to enjoy the cool outside, and Cai Lun stopped.

Leonard's toilet flushing was also designed by the way. Cai Lun specially built a toilet outside, the kind that can be flushed, and the pickled things washed away are directly connected to the pool behind to ferment manure.

However, the toilet is far away from home. If it is at night, Leonard still uses the toilet to go to the toilet, and the servant will empty it the next day.

The toilets here are toilet-style. People here don’t like squatting toilets. Well, Leonard couldn’t squat down at first. He had to train for a while before squatting down.

This is the 'Asian squat', that is, squat down with both feet on the ground, buttocks close to the ankles and knees naturally separated. Because of habits and body proportions, it is difficult for Westerners to make this posture, so it is called Asian. squat.

So since people here are inconvenient to squat, how can they defecate anywhere!In order to defecate anywhere, I simply overcame my own physical defects!Oh my god what kind of spirit is this.

All are preparing for winter and the year ahead.

Autumn is coming to an end, and there is a breath of winter everywhere.
