In fact, there is usually nothing going on in the forest farm and it is usually very leisurely.
In addition to coming back from school every day to ask about the Siori couple, Claude would stay in the pharmaceutical laboratory and read if nothing happened. Sometimes I go to the mountains to collect some herbs and come back to do some practice in processing them. For dinner, I usually make do with some food alone. Occasionally, I team up with the Sioli and his wife to cook a few dishes for everyone to try.
Mr. and Mrs. Sioli are also very busy, but they are not busy with the work of rangers, but with their own private work. For example, the couple opened five or six acres of farmland on the hillside, growing potatoes, rye and other crops. They also raised dozens of chickens in a large circle in the forest, laying two or three eggs every day. ten
However, the Xioli couple also obtained the permission of Madam Maria to do these private tasks. Speaking of which, the Xioli couple can be regarded as members of the Normanli family. The couple had a son and a daughter, both of whom were adults. They signed a domestic servant agreement with the Normanry family and worked as servants in the Viscount Normandy's Mansion in the royal capital. The elder brother is the personal servant of the Viscount, and the younger sister is the personal maid of the Viscount. The Sciori couple are just looking for a place to retire as forest guards at the forest farm.
This forest farm in White Deer Town has only two uses for the Normanry family. One is the origin of the family. Baron Alpheus was born here. Although he was a shoemaker in White Deer Town, his father was from this forest farm. ranger.
The second is for vacation. Mrs. Maria liked the purity here very much, and even built a pharmaceutical laboratory specially. She would come to this forest farm every year to spend a leisurely time. Here she can just do experiments, unlike in the capital, where she often has to interrupt experiments to greet patients who come to seek medical treatment.
The area of this forest farm is about seventy-three hectares. In the Kingdom of Overas, one hectare is one hundred acres. The three hills near the manor villa are privately owned by the Normanry family. There has been no timber felling or production in the forest farm for more than 50 years, and the trees are dense and overgrown with weeds, showing signs of developing into virgin forests.
Such a large-scale forest farm is only guarded by two forest guards, Mr. and Mrs. Sioli. Their biggest responsibility is to patrol the entire forest farm along the mountain road every once in a while. As long as they find that no one is coming to steal the trees, they will be fine. Now there is an additional Claude who serves as the forestry manager, so the inspection task is handed over to Claude.
For Claude, patrolling the forest farm was a very simple task. He only had to carry a matchlock and ride the black horse Jamie along the mountain road. It did not take an hour. Unless he saw pheasants, rabbits and other prey or picked some medicinal herbs, besides, he didn't need to patrol every day. He could just go to the top of the mountain and take a look down every two or three days. You can tell at a glance whether trees have been cut down illegally, and even if someone comes to cut down trees illegally, they can't move out unless they follow the mountain road.
When the Sioli couple visited the forest farm, they would bring a big rattan basket with them. They would pick some mushrooms and other mountain products along the mountain road, dry them, and sell them in the open-air market to get some pocket money for themselves. Claude doesn't have this need. He spends most of his time in the pharmacy laboratory reading or processing medicinal materials.
I go to school during the day and come back to inspect the forest farm after school. Occasionally, I go home to chat with my parents, play with my younger siblings and snow dogs for a while, and then go back to the forest farm. He spent his evenings in the pharmacy laboratory reading books and teaching himself pharmacy knowledge. When he had free time, he went to the forest farm and nearby mountains to pick herbs and process them. Claude lived a simple and fulfilling life.
Knowing that he was busy with business, the three friends rarely came to the forest farm to see him. Bockal was busy learning business from his father, and worked as a clerk in his family's business every day after school. Ericson and Viriclo hung out together, either fishing or sailing on Lake Beringa in a fishing boat. Occasionally when the harvest was good, he would bring a few fish to Claude for a meal in the forest farm before going back.
At present, apart from practicing meditation, Claude spends the rest of his time researching primary healing potions. He basically collects a batch of medicinal materials and conducts an experiment to refine and synthesize potions. What made him regretful was that refining and synthesizing primary therapeutic potions was not that easy. After more than a dozen experiments, only three tubes of potions were successfully extracted and synthesized, and there was no guarantee that they would have therapeutic effects.
Claude is going to set some more serial traps in the weeds and bushes deep in the forest farm, and catch a few live pheasants, mountain rabbits, etc. to do chemical testing. See if the primary therapeutic potion you refined and synthesized has
