God don't even try to stop me from doing infrastructure!

At the same time, a batch of handmade soaps and lemon-scented mosquito repellent sachets have appeared on Yunze's cosmetics shelf.Menis gave Yunze inspiration, making him feel that there is a huge market for handmade soap.

This batch of handmade soaps uses olive oil with local spices like lavender, mint, and lemon zest.These kinds of spices are large in quantity and cheap. He directly purchased a batch of steamed essential oils, and then made a lot of handmade soaps, which were placed on the shelves directly after a month.

Curry nobles immediately fell in love with the refreshing and fragrant feeling after bathing with handmade soap.Moreover, the price of handmade soap is not ridiculously expensive, so wealthy businessmen and small landlords will be ruthless to buy a piece or two.

Considering that ordinary families cannot afford that kind of good whole piece, the temple also launched a small (mahjong tile) handmade soap.This is made from leftover soap. The quality is not as good as the big ones, and the price is also cheap. The civilians in Curry bought one and liked it as soon as they used it.

Even if the thing is a little small, they dare not use it casually, and only use it once every few days, or use it to clean their bodies before going to important occasions or meeting important people.

So following cosmetics, handmade soap has also become Yunze's flagship product.He has decided to plant more oily plants and flowers next year.

The hottest day in Curry is coming as promised, and the watermelons in Yunze are about to ripen.The first batch of ripe watermelons have been transported to the warehouse one after another. Each of them is about the size of a football, with dark green striped skins, covered with thick soft soil to prevent cracking.

There were not many watermelons in the first batch, unable to satisfy Yunze's lofty ambition of 'please eat watermelon for all Kuli people' issued by Yunze, so he had no choice but to change it into 'please eat watermelon for all Kuli children', and every child Both only got a small slice.

All the watermelons in the vineyard were delivered to the warehouse within a few days, and the horse-drawn carriage carried the big green fruit to the market. Basically, it was the next day, and many people knew that the Son of God had brought good things again.

Yunze left three carts of watermelons for himself, and one for the royal family and one for the temple, so he only had five baskets here.

Another cart was given to the workers who repaired the canal, and after a day's work, everyone was given a small piece of watermelon that was cooling down.

The rest of the carts were placed in the Temple of the Sun God, and the priests were sent to different neighborhoods. They were divided on the spot, and they were allowed to leave the seeds and told them how to grow this fruit.

So this year's Curry has new talking points.

On a summer night, in the open-air courtyard, lying on a rattan chair, holding a watermelon soaked in cold stream water, a servant fanning, looking up at the sky full of stars, and friends sitting and chatting together, this is Yunze Current state.

The watermelon grows well, red like fire, sweet like honey, crunchy in the mouth, full of juice.There is no fruit more suitable for summer than watermelon. One bite, it is as cool as the night breeze, and the heat of the day can be swept away in one bite, not to mention that it is so sweet and refreshing, and every bite is so full and juicy.

A year of waiting is worthwhile, summer is called watermelon.

Yunze cut five large watermelons at once, and shared one with Menis, three for the young priests and children at home, and one for the servants at home.Because of the small quantity, the servants in the family can only get a small piece as thick as two fingers. They eat it very cherished, holding it in their mouths until the watermelon is soft before swallowing it.

The black seeds are collected and more can be planted next year.There is a lot of sandy land in Curry, which is not suitable for growing wheat or grazing, but you can grow some watermelons.Many people are eager to try it, and they are all conquered by this juicy fruit.

People in Taixi have a good acceptance of watermelon. It is said that the watermelon that was distributed did not even lose the watermelon rind. Everyone thinks that the watermelon rind with sufficient water tastes better than ordinary vegetables.And those seeds are well preserved, ready to wait for next spring to plant.

There are so many watermelons that even children in the slums hold a few seeds in their hands.Some businessmen bought it at high prices, but not many people were willing to sell it in the end.This was specially distributed by the Son of God to take care of them, and it had a special meaning, it was not simply a commodity that could be measured by money.

Perhaps one day, watermelon will become Curry's specialty, can be seen everywhere, and will no longer be cherished as it is now.But Curry's men will never forget who brought it to them.

The sunshine hours here are long, and the watermelons grown here are as sweet as honey.Yunze is already thinking about planting some cantaloupe next year, and the same sweet cantaloupe will bring another kind of enjoyment - he is very confident in the vitality of the seeds in the game.

Menes sat on the other end to process the documents from the temple below, and a servant stood by holding a torch.

Meinis is different from Yunze, Yunze likes to assign tasks to his subordinates and be the shopkeeper himself, but Meinis prefers to do it himself.

The main task of the future great priest is to accompany the son of God, but it does not mean that he has no work other than that.He spends some time every day dealing with the affairs of the local temples in his jurisdiction.

The priest group enjoys a large amount of land and assets that do not need to be taxed. At the same time, they are also responsible for some trivial and meticulous work, such as treating diseases, being confidant elder sisters and old uncles, presiding over burials, praying for newborns, blessing weddings, and relief victims, etc. wait.

Menis has more work recently, and at the same time has more power in his hands.

His Excellency the Great Priest has recently valued him more and more and entrusted him with more things.The old man let Yunze recuperate with precious medicine for a few months, and he grew new black hair, as if he was a few years younger.

But he suddenly disregarded the mundane world, devoted himself to enshrining the gods in the temple, and basically entrusted all the affairs in his hands to his heirs.

Yunze guessed that Menis was under a lot of pressure now, his teacher and his senior brothers were staring at him.

Yunze had just finished eating a piece of juicy watermelon, he threw the watermelon rind into a small wooden barrel, turned around and found Menis frowning, he didn't know what happened to him: "Look at your frowning, Any concerns?"

Menis held a dried clay tablet, frowned slightly, and when he heard Yunze asked beside him, he smiled and said: "There is a priest in the countryside, his wife accused him of adultery and wanted to divorce him. This kind of thing should have been accepted by the local mayor, but one of them is a temple monk, so we have to pass it on to the temple.”

A divorce case this year?

There is a feeling of witnessing history.

Yun Ze became interested, he dragged the rocking chair closer: "This is the first time I have encountered a divorce case, is there any story in it?"

Seeing Yunze's bright eyes, like a child's expectant expression waiting for his parents to tell a story, Menis couldn't help laughing, and also tilted his head, hair touching hair, breathing next to each other.Yunze even smelled the string of antiperspirant beads on his body.

"Although there are no special regulations, commoners in Taixi generally only have one husband or one wife. They can live together as husband and wife if they like, but the marriage of priests needs to be approved by God. It is a little more complicated for them to get together, and it is not difficult to leave. It's a little more complicated.

"Put the clay tablet with the names of the two people in the fire. If the clay tablet splits into two, then God forbids it. If nothing happens, it is God's permission for marriage. So their divorce is more complicated." Mei Nisi said and showed Yunze the sent documents.

"What would happen to a divorce caused by a priest's mistake?" Yun Ze asked again.

"If a person is married, but sleeps with a man or woman who is not the marriage partner, it is called adultery. If the wife or husband of the other party sues, the adulterer will be whipped a hundred times and punished by a certain number. money.

"For example, in the case of a priest, if he is an ordinary person, his wife can take away the dowry and the items and money earned for the family during the marriage, and can also take away the children she gave birth to. The man has to compensate the other party almost Marriage compensation for half of the property. This is how ordinary people get divorced."

So, an unusual priest must also have an unusual way of divorce?

"The priest knew that this was a marriage approved by the gods, but he still wanted to destroy it, and he lost even more property. This little priest was very cunning, but he didn't dare to deceive the gods, so he admitted it before the gods. Her wife would Get everything in the family, including the priest's own house, land and livestock." This is the so-called leaving the house clean.

Tsk, cheating is a moment of pleasure, an example of going home to the crematorium.Of course, this little priest was punished so severely not because he cheated, but because he betrayed the 'God-given' marriage contract.

"He made a mistake, will the priest's position be revoked?" Yun Ze was very curious.

"His mistakes have been punished. The man was whipped a hundred times, took two sacks of wheat as punishment for disobeying the will of the gods, and lost his wife and daughter, as well as all the property in the family. But he was serving the gods. Nothing too wrong, so I won't punish him."

Menis put the clay tablet in his hand aside, reached out to take the wet sackcloth from the hand of the maid beside him, picked up Yunze's hand that had just held the watermelon with his other hand, and lowered his head to wipe his five fingers.

Yunze subconsciously wanted to withdraw his hand, but he couldn't pull it back. He shrunk his five fingers into a fist with some embarrassment: "I'll wipe it myself."

Menis did not insist, let go of his hand, and handed him the wet sackcloth.

"I'm going out for a walk tomorrow. There will be fewer people, seven or eight. Will it cause trouble for the guard's work?" Yun Ze asked while wiping his hands.

He knew that his safety was related to the lives of many people, and there were many people protecting him both in the open and in the dark, including those from the royal family and some from the temple.He is not a willful person, and he doesn't want to bring twists and turns to other people's plans because of his whim.

"Nothing, if Curry can't protect you, then what's the value of our existence?"

He is obviously a tall and handsome man, but at this time he always looks so well-behaved and harmless.Menis took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to move in his heart. There were so many people nearby, once he did something disrespectful, even the great priest who regarded him as his successor would remove him without hesitation.

The status of the son of God is too special, and the timing of his arrival is so coincidental. Before he becomes a great priest and has enough right to speak, he must not be poked out.

"You still have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you. This time, I will go shopping alone." Yunze thought for a while and said.In fact, he just wanted to go out and have a look alone, so it was a belated rebellious mentality.

Menis said in his heart that if you don’t take me with you, you should bring a group of people by your side, but he still didn’t refute, just looked at Yunze with a smile, like a virtuous wife telling her husband who is about to go out: “I’m at home Waiting for your return."
