Ebo has recently become popular with new trends.

First, there is such a weird thing as beef noodles. Although it is a real food, you don’t have to worry about getting sick. There is no smell of fresh meat and there is no piece of meat that cannot be chewed. Even people who have lost half of their teeth can easily bite. move, and that strange soup color.

It must be magic, a gift from Mooshi!

There are gossips circulating in the city, people are talking about the taste of beef noodles and the desperate emotion when eating grilled mushrooms, but this is not the end, soon, a gray thing called paper appears in people's eyes. In his hands, this thing is very cheap, and families with a little income can afford it. Moreover, the purpose of this thing is to wipe buttocks!

People feel that it is very novel, and they buy a little to try it out one after another, and they always have a very delicate attitude after using it.

"Well, that's it, I don't think it's any different from leaves." The user who was asked replied, "It costs money, it's really not worth it."

The inquirer laughed at this, and soon after, they will find that the person who gave the bad review bought a lot of them secretly, so they can't sit still, buy it and try it.

"Paper." Langdon looked at the writing on the small wooden sign on the paper shelf in the store, "Is this your writing?"

Cecil wrote in Simplified Chinese, and the translation magic will allow people to "understand" the meaning of the word, but it will not erase the original appearance of the text.

"Yeah." Cecil looked at the account book. Since the store opened, the income has shown a slow growth, which is also in line with expectations. The spread of new things always takes time, "Does it look good?"

"It's pretty good-looking, and it's very image-like." Langdon tilted his head and looked at it for a long time after evaluating, "I always feel like I've seen it somewhere before."

Cecil was startled, and said cautiously: "Such a word?"

"Hmm." Langdon rested his chin on one hand, "It's kind of similar, like a painting."

Cecil swallowed, and said, "Perhaps you think of pictures as words?"

Langdon looked over, with a half-smile expression on his face: "Maybe, by the way, Bills said that he would like to order a large number of toilet paper."

"Huh?" Cecil asked immediately, eager to change the subject, "What is he going to do?"

"National orders, he plans to put tanned leather products and papyrus into the list of the second batch of trade teams at the same time." Langdon said.

Cecil was taken aback: "Is there a second batch of trade teams?"

"Ebo's trade team will usually send two or three teams in the spring and autumn, depending on the road conditions. After all, there is no real road between here and Toto Port. If you rely on Griffin, the cost of so many goods will not be sold at all. Yes." Langdon said, "After the first team arrives, they will feed back some cargo information, and the second team will make some adjustments based on the information. I heard that the messenger came back on a griffin the day before yesterday."

Cecil thought for a while, and said, "But, I don't think toilet paper can withstand such long-distance and long-distance transportation. You can't sell tattered paper."

"Then I don't know." Langdon shrugged his shoulders. "It's none of our business. We just need to deliver the goods on time."

"How much did Bills set?"

"A room."

"……what?"

"Our store has so many from the floor to the ceiling."

"..."

How can there be such a measure? !

Tucao to Tucao, such a large business is still to be done, in addition to allowing the Griffin to collect lime from Toto Port in large quantities, Cecil began to experiment with soap.The plant ash had been soaked for several days, and he observed that he couldn't tell for sure. There were no eggs here, so there was no way to use the buoyancy to judge whether it was alkali or not, so he could only rely on luck.

Butter is a very suitable raw material for soap, but it needs to be filtered repeatedly. The taste of concentrated squeezing of a large amount of butter is not very pleasant, and the feeling of squeezing a small amount of oil is completely different.

When these two things are ready, the next step is the very painful and joyful stirring and mixing work. Since he didn't know the ratio, Cecil prepared three barrels-most of the sales of Ebo's iron barrels recently came from The order of the Knights - Each barrel is filled with different proportions of butter and plant lye, and then a strong knight stirs desperately with a hardwood branch.

In broad daylight, three handsome young men with bare upper body are holding a thick black cylindrical object and vigorously stirring it in a drum. Under the drum is a flame emitting green smoke...

When this adjective appeared in Cecil's mind, he instantly felt creepy, and deeply felt the ability of the Gay Knights to subtly influence people. The most frightening thing was that he actually felt that this picture was not bad, and even had a sense of beauty.

Help!

Cecil covered his eyes in case the heat was too much to bear.

The village was very busy, everyone had a lot of work to do, Bills had a lot of paper orders coming out of nowhere, and most of the knights spent the night fishing for paper, drying paper, and mixing pulp to catch up with the departure time of the second batch of trade teams .

Beef food has expanded to grilled noodles and fried noodles, because a certain knight who is particularly good at fire magic can precisely control the temperature and size of the flame, so, under the blessing of a hardwood pan, Cecil showed the skill of turning the pan for the first time, There were bursts of applause.

The hardwood pot was too heavy, and Cecil couldn't stand it after shaking it a few times. Instead, a muscular overlord guy could hold the hardwood pot with one hand, and the noodles flew up and down and fell into the pot perfectly. , It can be said to be very beautiful.

The chow mein does have a special flavor, but it feels a bit lacking without red oil or soy sauce, but it is enough for people in this world.Due to the addition of magic, the price has skyrocketed, and the weirdest thing is that this has attracted a lot of wealthy and aristocratic people. They only buy this kind of fried noodles, and even advertise that they eat this stuff for a week at home.

Cecil felt that it was terrible, and at the same time, he missed soy sauce more and more, but there were no beans, and he couldn't think of any other way to get soy sauce, so he had to put it down for now.

Soap, beef noodles, and toilet paper all require a lot of manpower. Originally, 100 people seemed to be a lot, but as the work progressed, the manpower was completely insufficient, and at the same time, meat was not enough.

Cecil was not worried about the latter. With the arrival of the winter and dry season at the same time, the life of the magic elk and various animals on the grassland became more and more difficult. Therefore, Carroll thought of his honest "friend" and ran to the village Ask about farming jobs.

As soon as Carroll appeared, it attracted the attention of the patrolling knights. After that, many boys came to see it, and they were amazed while watching it.

"Do you need a house?" Cecil asked first.

"No, it's enough to have woods for concealment, but if you live next to humans, you shouldn't have to worry too much about this problem." Carroll said, "We don't need a house."

Cecil thought for a while and asked, "Will it snow here in winter?"

"Yes." Langdon said, recently, he would follow Cecil as long as he talked about anything.

Cecil is also willing. Langdon has a strong memory and knows everything. Even Luther praised this "unfathomable". People with "amnesia" like him certainly hope to have such a "personal assistant".

"That's at least below zero." Cecil sighed, "I suggest, it's better to build a house. We will help you build it, and you will pay for it with your work. If there is no shelter from the wind and rain, how will you survive the winter?" ?”

"Crowd together or look for caves, mines, etc., just like the mines that Dali showed you, and you can hide there in winter." Carroll said, "Even if it is a house, the wind can blow in it." , What’s the use? What we need is water and food, look at our long hair, this is the best way to keep warm.”

"Believe me, um, my house is a bit different." Cecil smiled confidently, "It will be very warm!"

Carroll's four eyes stared: "Oh? It's the same as Ebo's air conditioner?"

"No." Cecil's laughter stuck in his throat, "However, as long as I enter the house, it will be warmer, much warmer than Ebo's central air conditioner! The temperature is the same as in spring!"

"Uh-uh--" Carroll let out an excited bray, "I'm looking forward to it!"

With the blessing of magic, it is actually not difficult to build a kang, the difficulty is just thinking of such an idea.Cecil originally wanted to build a central heating furnace, but the village is too big after all, and if the flue is too long, the heat loss will be too great, which is wasteful.

After listening to the opinions of all parties, it was decided to build a kang for each family. At present, there are 67 houses in the village, 107 adult and minor males, 1 female, and 1 Tibetan mastiff. Now, 45 magic dogs will be added. Elk.

Luckily, the magic elk are small enough to build two huge empty houses without even needing windows, and they can huddle together in winter.

Even so, this way of heating the kang is much more convenient than using magic for heating, and the knights are also very welcome to save the magic bits for other places.

"If we want to keep everyone in the room warm, basically the 100 of us don't have to do anything, just take turns maintaining the temperature in the room." Langdon said, "Magic is indeed very convenient, but it can make many people suffer. Hui's large-scale magic usually requires a lot of money, requiring senior magicians or even great magicians, which is not easy and not worthwhile. Speaking of which, why build a flue? Isn't it more convenient to light a fire directly?"

"It's easy to catch fire, oxygen...choking to death or something." Cecil explained.

"Then why should someone be in charge of this?"

"Let one or two people be responsible for heating this matter full-time, and free others to focus on other work, which can improve work efficiency and make something better."

Langdon said thoughtfully: "It makes sense, just like if you specialize in farming, you can grow more harvests, and then exchange with people who specialize in weaving, so that both sides have cloth and food, compared to two people Farming and weaving at the same time yields more.”

Cecil looked at Langdon's pensive side face, and always felt that this man must be a master of learning if he went to modern times.

If you compare goods, you will throw them away, and if you compare people, you will be pissed off!
