When the convoy left Flower Town, the castle returned to calm again. Although there were a lot of plates and wine glasses left to be cleaned up, the small garden outside the castle was trampled badly by the knights. But all of this, Carter can organize the servants to clean up slowly without any pressure.
The castle has fifteen servants, more than enough.
"Mr. Gao Ertai, the festival is about to pass, and we need to get rid of the festive atmosphere. The construction progress of the town cannot be stopped. Continue to expand the logging team, the gravel team, and the fence construction team, and strive to open the passage as soon as possible."
Gao Ertai still had more meaning: "As you wish."
This time at the banquet, he was like a fish in water, chatting and laughing with the earl, he hadn't had such a good time in many years.
"Flower Town is taking the limelight." He used this adjective to describe today's lunch, a dazzling array of seafood, and ice cream that was so refreshing that it tingled with tongues.
But Liszt had other ideas.
In the evening, he drank a glass of red wine alone with Carter: "Mr. Carter, I originally planned to show the poor side of Huahua Town, maybe in exchange for the help of Tulip Fort. I accidentally held a grand banquet, seafood , ice cream, Warcraft meat, there is no reason to cry poor at all.”
Carter smiled and said, "My lord has shown his demeanor. Your performance at the banquet is admirable. If I were a knight, I would probably stay in Huahua Town and follow you."
Another meaning of nobles' "showing off their wealth" is to show their strength to attract followers.
Viscount Trick Humulus was attracted by the earl's charm and became a follower. Help the Tulip family, participate in the pioneering war of the Grand Duchy, and finally create the huge foundation of the Earl of Coral Island.
"But there's no knight left, is there?"
"I believe that the seed has been sown and it may one day suddenly bloom."
"A very philosophical sentence, Mr. Carter, for this sentence, a drink."
"Cheers, sir."
Taking a sip of red wine to moisten his throat, Liszt asked, "How much food did my father bring today?"
"I brought a lot of various foods, but most of them were used at the banquet. The extra part was mainly beer and fine wheat flour, as well as some spices, anise, ginger, pepper, licorice, as well as salt and sugar. "
"How much wheat flour and beer?"
"There are about five hundred catties of fine wheat flour, and thirty barrels of beer."
The fine wheat flour was obviously specially made for Liszt to make white bread, and he was a little dazed—it could be felt that the Earl still had a father-son affection for him.
Some details can be shown.
For example, coming to Huahua Town for the festival is a sign of intimacy. If you really don't care about Liszt at all, there is no need to come to a remote town for the festival. At the banquet, he deliberately didn't care about saltpeter, which might not be his protection, especially Mrs. Marie specifically mentioned that saltpeter mines are worth developing.
Now I brought a lot of food and gave it to him.
"Could it be that the earl is also a man of integrity? This is a bit annoying." He was a little restless. If the earl's family ignored him, he could easily maintain the style of friendship between gentlemen. , Live your life leisurely.
The most fearful thing is that there will be family entanglements with each other.
Let him not know how to deal with it, whether to integrate into this family relationship according to his current identity, or to maintain his own personality and continue to keep a distance.
"Is this the fetters of family affection? As long as you are a human being, you cannot escape this net."
After drinking the red wine in one gulp, he decided not to think about this troublesome thing any more, just let it be - not take the initiative, not refuse. Throwing away his thoughts, he asked, "Mr. Carter, have you given away all the seafood that was given back to Tulip Fort?"
"It has been handed over to Mr. Silva. They are all good dried seafood."
"Very good, reciprocity."
Put down your glass.
Carter also finished the red wine, put away the two glasses, and bowed slightly: "Master, rest early, I wish you good night, I will take my leave first."
"Good night, Mr. Carter, and sweet dreams."
…
The next few days were monotonous and peaceful.
In addition to supervising the logging work, Liszt is also paying attention to another thing-the work training of fruit-stealing monkeys.
At the beginning, seven fruit-stealing monkeys with minor injuries were captured alive. All of them survived and recovered, but two of them were lame, and it was impossible to climb the tree.
The remaining five were handed over to the hunters in the small town for training.
The rope, whip, and fruit were used together, and the rebellious fruit-stealing monkey was quickly tidied up. If it was allowed to climb the tree, it would climb the tree, and if it was allowed to enter the cage, it would enter the cage.
"Three female monkeys and four male monkeys, I believe there will be ten fruit-stealing monkeys in the second half of the year." Monkeys usually give birth to two babies a year, but each baby usually has one cub.
Liszt looked at the more and more obedient fruit-stealing monkeys, and was very satisfied: "Without the destruction of the fruit-stealing monkeys, this year's fragrant coconuts can mature, and I believe that in a month or two, you can drink fresh and sweet coconut juice Already." Coconut fruit has no seasonality, except that it does not grow in winter, and it will bear fruit in other seasons.
"It seems that Coral City does not sell fragrant coconut fruit. Maybe it will develop and develop. This is a major specialty of Huahua Town. It is a pity that there are no fragrant coconut tree elves."
When he outlined the future of the coconut palm, Orion had already started training the fruit-stealing monkeys to pick fruit.
Tie the fake fruit to the branch and let the fruit-stealing monkeys pick it. If they pick it, they will be rewarded with a peanut, and if they don't pick it, they will be whipped. The fruit-stealing monkey can't run away, because there is a rope tied around its neck, if it dares to run, it will be whipped if it is pulled back.
"Remember, animals can hold grudges and lose their temper. As long as they are serious about their work, don't whip them at will. If I find out that they beat fruit-stealing monkeys for no reason, I will whip these whips on you." He emphasized with a serious expression. Well, he doesn't want the fruit-stealing monkeys to rebel and kill several fruit farmers in the future.
"Lord, please rest assured, we will never forget what you told us." The part-time Orion, knowing that he will change from a farmer to a fruit farmer in the future, will work with fruit-stealing monkeys, and he is very happy.
If it wasn't for training, I would really be reluctant to give a whip - the fruit-stealing monkey is the knight's horse for the fruit grower.
Don't pass the fruit-stealing monkey, he returned to the castle, and sent someone to call over several merchants among the new serfs.
"Old Grandet, Sherlock, and Apagon, are you all businessmen on Little Papa Island?" Liszt asked repeatedly.
"Yes, my lord."
"Is there a merchant named Plyushkin on Little Papa Island?"
Old Grandet replied: "My lord, there are only three of us who specialize in selling small commodities on Little Papa Island, and I can name everyone in the city, but there is no one named Priuschkin. "
"Well, I'm just asking casually." Li Sigao glanced at old Grandet, and the other said "everyone in the city can be called by name", showing his extraordinary, "Today I called you, It is to form a caravan belonging to the castle, and I hope to hand it over to the three of you."
