Wear to the Middle Ages to engage in construction

The Duke seriously felt that his perseverance might not be as strong as he had imagined. He put the child under his nose because he wanted to take care of him, but because he was afraid that he would be hurt.

But Edward is becoming more and more uncertain now, whether he will be the one who hurt the child.

The two sat in the carriage, and the atmosphere along the way was a rare silence—this was a rare scene between the two, but the Duke was thinking, Tang Feiliu was almost playing off, and he didn't dare to let himself go at this moment , So I went all the way to Nandeng Township without any danger, and soon arrived at Mr. Allen's manor.

Mr. Allen stood waiting at the gate of the manor, expressing his importance to Tang Feiliu.

He saw the Duke's carriage approaching from afar, and he opened his arms to hug his old friend whom he had chatted with, but just as he smiled, he saw the Duke with black hair and black eyes and a cold face.

The Duke jumped out of the carriage, then turned around, hugged little blond Lance who was wearing exactly the same clothes as him, and took a few steps forward before putting Lance down.

As soon as Lance's feet landed, he ran over happily, and greeted loudly with a smile while running: "Mr. Allen, long time no see!"

He ran over and hugged Alan who was still in shock.

Allen watched the Duke stride over, his eyes almost burning through him.Allen, a man of the world, understood the reason for the identical attire, the hand in hand, and the intimacy almost instantly.I also deeply understood that whether it was intentional or unintentional, the Duke was definitely warning him about something. Allen quickly patted Tang Feiliu who was excited, and said with a smile: "I prepared some sweet wine and some overseas things. Last time We didn't find the grain you mentioned, but we found some strange things, some like the potatoes you mentioned, come and have a look."

Tang Feiliu's attention was immediately drawn away, and he hurried forward, saying as he walked, "Really? Is that the yellow potato? How many are there?"

"It's that thing..." Allen said, Edward stepped forward beside him, and took over the conversation, "Lance, are you looking for potatoes? Someone brought that thing back a few years ago, and poor people ate it. Vomiting and diarrhea, and some people even died... This thing has no smell and is poisonous."

"You have already found this thing?!" Tang Feiliu turned his head and said, "Then none of you have found out why it is poisonous?"

"No," Edward said, "It's just that after that, the sea merchants knew that this thing was useless, so they never brought it back."

"Potatoes are super delicious!" Tang Feiliu said seriously, "It's poisonous because if it's not stored properly, it will germinate. If there are green sprouts, you can't eat them. If you eat them, you will feel uncomfortable and vomit. Diarrhea, and some people will be paralyzed... Of course, there are also some specialties when planting."

When it comes to what he is good at, Tang Feiliu is generally very talkative. He said with a smile: "And I also pay attention to planting. In fact, York is a place with a high latitude, so it is really suitable for growing potatoes. Potatoes are grown in this It grows fast when it’s cold, and the yield of one acre of land is much higher than that of wheat... The yield per mu is [-] to [-] jin. Of course, there is not enough compost now, but at the worst, it can get [-] to [-] jin per mu. !"

"What you said is true?" Not only Alan, but even Edward was moved. If such a large-yield thing is planted in a sparsely populated place like York, even the poorest people will not go hungry. up!

Besides, Tang Feiliu also said that this food is delicious!

"It's true. The most troublesome thing about this thing is the rotation of planting. A piece of land can be planted twice at most, and you have to change it to another, otherwise the output will be much smaller," Tang Feiliu said quickly, and continued under the leadership of Alan. There is a large living room for receiving guests.

As soon as I entered, I saw that there were several big tables covered with things, all kinds of weird things, precious things such as pearls, gems, cooking spices and so on were rare, but everyone didn't care about it at the moment After seeing those strange things, Allen led them to a corner where there were two sacks, and there were a lot of potatoes that were obviously green in a mess.

"It's about to germinate, so I can't eat it... But is this all in total?" Tang Feiliu sighed with emotion, and continued, "This amount can't grow too much."

"...This is a businessman's thing, it seems to be called Dalton. He was deceived by the people on the same boat and the local people, thinking that this is a new type of crop, and he bought it to make a small profit...because his capital is not enough to buy other things. Things, and he didn’t know anything when he went to sea for the first time, and now he has lost all his money.” Allen said while recalling, “I was able to get this thing because he refused to give up and pulled his own goods. Selling everywhere, I came to York City with a group of shipping merchants a few days ago."

"Has he not left yet?" Tang Feiliu became nervous immediately, and Alan said quickly, "Probably not, he said he would stay in York for a few more days..."

"Let your servant inform the servant who came with me," Edward said softly, "Let Jess bring twenty people immediately and bring back all the remaining potatoes, including this merchant."

Tang Feiliu asked in amazement: "Why did you want to arrest this businessman?"

"If it's true, we have to make sure that the news doesn't spread to other places so quickly." Edward rubbed his head, obviously not going to explain too much. Tang Feiliu thought about it, and guessed that Edward probably wanted to eat alone. Fat, he is also very supportive of this plan, so he won't ask any more questions.

And Alan bowed to salute, he might have smelled something else, but Alan didn't say anything, he just watched the Duke slowly stroke Tang Feiliu's blond hair, his rough pair of cocoons covered with swords The hand was extremely gentle, stroking the white neck, and rubbing it gently.

But Tang Feiliu didn't know anything, and was still talking happily, his blue eyes were clean, like a cloudless sky.

The hand changed from the neck all the way to a wrapping position, and placed it on the shoulder. Alan received a warning glance from Edward, and suddenly lowered his eyebrows.

In Tang Feiliu's memory, it was a pleasant meeting. He happily returned to the castle with the pile of potatoes, and started his great career of raising seedlings -- in the servant's room appointed by Edward, Tang Feiliu's original room inside.

The pile of potatoes had already sprouted green. After Tang Feiliu changed them to a comfortable growing space, they started sprouting like crazy. Two days later, Tang Feiliu went down to the ground and told everyone How to sow things up.

I heard that the reason why the potatoes are poisonous is because of improper germination and storage, and the method of planting. The farmers in the field listened carefully. People in this era are very simple, and the biggest wish is to be less hungry. Talking about the various cooking methods of this thing, I suddenly feel that I have endless strength.

In addition, Tang Feiliu, such a distinguished son, squatted in the field every day and tirelessly told them how to make potatoes and precautions, which made everyone look forward to this matter, and no one raised any questions.

Of course, it may also be because Tang Feiliu didn't know it, because of what he did to the territory last winter, so that everyone respected their young sheriff, not only respected, but also grateful, because last winter everyone not only The income of some people patrolling the village increased, and the family even ate delicious bread on Christmas Day, the kind that was not mixed with sawdust!

Adam, the youngest son of a freeman, showed off among his friends all winter long, describing how soft Queen's bread was, rich in creaminess, and because of his father's new job income. , He can even drink a glass of fresh milk every two days on a regular basis every other night.

This description makes all the children can’t help but imagine, and Adam’s friend even sighed with longing: "If one day I can eat such bread, I will do whatever I want."

And other people may not have such strong feelings as Adam. After all, among the free people, Adam's father can be regarded as a very budget-conscious figure. Adam's father Stuart was originally a person who was good at managing his own wealth. Because of poor management, he made himself impoverished, and even sold himself to the duke as a slave in order to get protection and live, but he carefully held every penny and never spent it indiscriminately, so his children and his wife lived in poverty. The group of people in the village has always been doing well.It is also because of this virtuous circle that Stuart was able to obtain the qualification in one fell swoop when he was selecting the patrol team because he was full and strong, so that the family had a better and more stable income.

When he got the patrol team's thick clothes, he had already drank a glass of ale happily for his decision, but when he went out early and came back late for several months in a row, and got his own from the sheriff At half a pound, Stewart's wife was so excited that she couldn't sleep, and even got up in the middle of the night when she heard the sound, and then looked at the clay pot under the bed-where all their net worth was kept.

In short, not only is this winter not bitter, but in Adam’s heart, there is no better day than this winter. Although his father has to go out every day, his temper is getting better and better. There was a sense of pride and joy, and my mother was also smiling every day. They no longer always drank barley porridge. My mother would go to the bread mill every few days, bring some wheat, and entrust Monica and Xiaozhen to process it. Into fragrant hot bread.

This was the first time Adam had bread in winter since he was born.At this time in previous years, everyone was reluctant to eat, because the winter in York was long and cold, and everyone didn’t want to plow the ground hungry in spring, so they would arrange food carefully and carefully, and go to the bread mill in winter to pay some handling fees. Eating bread is obviously not as cost-effective as cooking porridge. Therefore, every winter in the past, Adam has only eaten sparse porridge, which is unpalatable and easy to get hungry, so Adam hates porridge.

But this winter is different, every day half a piece of bread that is not mixed with sawdust is very hungry and sweet, especially the Queen's bread that Adam misses unceasingly - when Adam held it in his hand for the first time, he couldn't even recognize it What is it, it is so fluffy, with a rich milky aroma inside, Adam's parents even baked it, cut it open, and put a large piece of sweet butter inside.

Adam's eyes widened as he took the first bite, and the antics made his father Stuart laugh out loud, almost losing his hold on his own loaf of bread with a chunk of bacon in it, while Adam's sister apparently It was also the first time they ate such food. They ate very carefully, and finally licked their fingers carefully for a long time, until there was no milky smell at all, and then they ate the bowl of thick soup with a lot of ingredients.

There were no potatoes yet, and the soup was just whipped cream and butter, and some broccoli, and it wasn't as amazing as fluffy queen bread, but it was enough to make Adam and his sister start asking their parents when It's next Christmas... because Adam's parents told them that bread like this is only available at Christmas.

And it’s not just Adam’s family that has changed in this way, not to mention other patrol members, just the two skillful girls who are in charge of baking bread at the bread mill—God knows Monica’s father almost sold her to the city. But now he dared not say such things again, his daughter was getting half a pound a month!Earn more than him!

Monica's mother also straightened up, and she no longer had to hold Monica and cry at home. She even threw bread in front of her husband one day, just because the husband told her daughter about an unsuitable family. marriage.

Everyone said that Monica and her mother were finally having a good life-because no son was born, Monica's father actually thought of selling both of them and marrying another one for the money.

In short... Tang Feiliu didn't know what he had brought to this small village with his kind thoughts, but he was very happy because everyone was united and trusted him so much, this time he only talked about potatoes , There is no evidence at all, but everyone is so happy. Although this time it is not distributed to the free people at all, they all look forward to the Duke's harvest and start to promote this crop in large quantities.

Although Tang Feiliu had little contact with this group of people, compared to the deserted village, he preferred the appearance of everyone drinking ale, eating bread, and greeting each other with a smile.I like the children running around laughing and laughing loudly while playing and greeting him "Dear Mr. Administrator" from a distance; I like the women helping out in the fields, planting some beans and vegetables, with smiles on their faces. With peace and joy.

... This is the real pastoral picture.The pastoral is desirable because it is quiet and joyful, not because it is backward and messy, not because it is poor.

This scene made Tang Feiliu happy, and it also made him more determined. To the best of his ability, he was going to accelerate these pictures to become more and more beautiful and rich.

Therefore, when Mr. Dalton was brought to the castle, it was quite understandable that Tang Feiliu and Evans drove back in the ox cart without having time to clean up the mud on his body.

And Tang Feiliu got out of the car and ran to the castle quickly—the servants of the castle have been listening to this little Mr. Lance talking about Mr. Dalton these days, and they know how much he is looking forward to this person's arrival. When he ran over, they all opened the door for him with a smile and showed him the way. Tang Feiliu found Mr. Doton who was fidgeting in the hall without wasting any time.

When Mr. Dalton was at a loss, he saw a blond boy pushing the door, running out of breath, his eyes lit up when he saw him, and he said pleasantly, "Are you Mr. Dalton? !"

The boy looked young, with fair skin, and the clothes he was wearing were simple shirts and jackets, made of ordinary cotton, and he didn't look like a noble... But as a businessman, although Dalton was not successful, he was At any rate, he would basically observe his words, but when he saw the child coming in, all the servants bowed their heads in salute, the senior manservant opened the door for him, and the butler Dave turned his serious face, but it was not disgust, but a similar The elder Yu pretended to be serious and helpless towards the naughty child.

And the most important thing is, the kid rushed in all the way, carelessly, and looked at his Duke seriously just now, but now he turned his head to look at the blond kid, with a conniving and helpless expression similar to Dave's on his face.

Dave quickly observed everyone's reactions, and realized that this boy whose identity he didn't know was definitely an important person. He quickly stood up, took off his hat and saluted: "Yes, I am Doton, your honorable lord."
