"The tide is starting to ebb, sir." Thomas said to Liszt, pulling Dowson.
"Give Dousen to me, and you, Tom, and Jesse will go find those seafood according to the method I told you." Liszt took Dousen's rope.
Dou Sen has to run outside to chase the waves.
Liszt shouted immediately: "Quiet, Dou Sen!"
Dou Sen didn't listen.
Liszt got off his horse, stretched out his hand, and pressed Dou Sen on the sea sand, making him unable to move, and ordered loudly: "Dou Sen, be quiet!"
"Woooo..." Dou Sen uttered two unexplained cries, unable to struggle, so he could only lie down obediently.
Then Liszt let go of his hand slowly.
Dou Sen struggled to move again and ran outside.
Liszt pressed it down again and gave an order to make it quiet. After repeated several times, Dou Sen may finally stop moving. At this time, the retinue knight Carl quickly handed over a piece of bacon, and Liszt rewarded Dou Sen: "Be quiet, there is meat to eat, Dou Sen, understand."
"Woohoo." Dou Sen frantically tore at the bacon and devoured it.
Before it went out, Liszt specifically asked Thomas not to feed it. Only hunger can make the animal remember deeply, better form conditioned reflexes, and achieve obedience training.
"My lord, you are very talented in taming monsters. I can foresee that Dou Sen will be a qualified domesticated monster in the future."
"Of course it will. If it can't do it, I will kill it halfway. The bacon of the bully dog last night tastes very good. Even in the Castle of Long Taro, I haven't eaten Warcraft meat a few times."
The big bulldog, whose meat was not sold, was left to salt and dry in the castle.
"It is indeed a delicacy. If you eat it in your stomach, you can feel the nourishment of the magic power on your body." Marcus also ate in the castle last night.
After training Dou Sen for a while, Liszt handed Dou Sen to Carl, and he drove to the shore after low tide to see how the servants were doing.
At this moment, Thomas, Tom, and Jesse, three servants, each wearing a pair of thick leather gloves, carrying buckets, hammers and shovels, were constantly busy.
Thomas is responsible for turning over the stones, looking for seafood on and under the stones.
Jesse is responsible for shoveling the sea sand and looking for seafood under the sand.
Tom is responsible for picking up all kinds of seafood that are forced to be stranded before returning to the sea in time.
"Mr. Marcus, do you know the relationship between ebb and flow and the moon at night?" Liszt was in a good mood and asked a question.
Marcus shook his head: "I don't know."
"The moon is constantly moving, it attracts the water, the tide rises and falls, and of course the sun does the same, but the sun is much farther away and not as attractive as the moon."
"I don't understand what you know, my lord."
What Marcus said was already polite.
The moon and solar energy attract sea water? If it was someone else, he would definitely spit on the other person's face, don't talk about it. Then he retorted that you said that the moon and the sun attract sea water, so why not suck us humans into the sky, so that everyone can fly and become a sky knight. Don't lie to me that I don't read enough.
Seeing Marcus's expression, Liszt felt bored—an ignorant native.
After feeling emotional, he thought to himself: "Since the moon here can also cause tides, does it mean that this world is indeed a planet? If we sail along the blue sea, can we circle the planet and return here? If it is true, maybe one day I can send a fleet to sail around the world?"
This idea was a bit far away, and Liszt didn't continue to think about it.
Riding up to Tom.
Tom hurriedly saluted: "Master."
"You do your thing, I just look at it." He saw at a glance that in Tom's bucket, there were clams, conch, starfish, crabs, sea rainbows, clams and sea vegetables, and there were some things like sea centipedes and sea cockroaches. class of bugs.
However, sea cockroaches and sea centipedes can run, and accidentally turn over the bucket.
So Tom had to pick it up clumsily again.
"These two kinds of bugs that can run away are not seafood and can be thrown away." Liszt reminded.
"Oh, yes, yes, sir." Tom hurriedly threw the bug again, wondering if the lord was by his side, he always wanted to catch it but couldn't, and was sweating profusely.
Not far away, Thomas, who was moving the rock, saw Tom at a loss, turned his head, and smiled triumphantly—only he was good enough among the three servants of the castle, and he was the suitable successor to the butler.
Because on the other side, Jesse, who was digging the sand, dug for a long time, but he didn't catch any of the razor clams and pippi shrimps that the lord told him.
"What two trash!" He thought to himself.
So I happily held the hammer and tapped under the rocks, knocking down clams, sea rainbows, and oysters one by one, and occasionally picked up a few small crabs.
"The oyster needs to get its flesh out, like this." Thomas cracked the oyster's shell with a hammer and scooped out the soft flesh inside.
Before leaving, the lord said that oyster meat is delicious.
Thomas doesn't think this ugly soft thing is delicious, but he will meticulously complete the lord's explanation.
It's effortless.
On the exposed rocks after low tide, there are sea oysters and sea rainbows everywhere.
In just two hours, Thomas filled the two buckets he brought, one of which was full of meat dug out from sea oysters.
He looked at Tom again. Although the bucket was full, the lord had told him several times not to pick up some things, but he still picked them up.
It was clearly the same kind of bug, but he thought it was different.
Stupid enough.
As for Jesse, it can be ignored, he is sweating from digging, and the inside of the bucket has just overflowed the bottom of the bucket. A few fat shrimps—the lord said they were Pippi shrimps, and a few stick-like razor clams, which seemed to be called bamboo razor clams.
He put down his bucket full of oyster meat, puffed out his chest, and waited for the lord's inspection.
…
Riding on a horse, Liszt, who spent most of his time enjoying the cool under the coconut tree, saw that it was almost noon and the sun was already scorching hot, so he stopped this experiment of catching the sea.
Ride over and look at every bucket.
"Tom, you have to work harder to distinguish between pests and seafood. Not every seaside thing is edible. If it is poisonous, it will poison people to death."
Tom bowed his head in shame: "I'm sorry, sir, I'm too stupid to tell the difference."
"It's okay, Tom, it's normal for you to be inexperienced for the first time sailing, don't feel guilty about it." Liszt comforted, and then turned to Jesse's bucket, "Well, Jesse, I can see your hard work, but it's very hard. Obviously, the method I taught you, you didn't apply it."
"Master, I dug hard, but I kept digging, and the hole disappeared." Jessie said in a panic.
"You need to dig in the direction of the hole."
"I... I can continue to dig here, sir, and I can definitely fill the bucket."
"If you stay here, no one will carry water in the castle. Jessie, I don't mean to blame you. Digging for pippi shrimp and bamboo razor clams is not an easy task."
Finally, Liszt went to Thomas's buckets. One bucket was full of sea oyster meat, and the other bucket was also full of crabs, sea rainbows, etc.
"Nice job, Thomas."
"Thank you for the compliment, master. This is what I should do. I will do my best to do things for the master." Thomas smiled happily.
Liszt returned an aristocratic smile, expressing his affirmation to Thomas—of course he knew what Thomas was thinking. Butler Carter had told him earlier that Thomas had ambitions. But as a lord, he didn't care, because no matter how ambitious Thomas was, he only wanted to be the steward of the castle.
If he is really capable, old Carter can't do it anymore, so what if Thomas is the housekeeper.
No servant can turn the sky before him.
