Unlimited Food Plan

Chapter 66 Medieval 18

"Queuing up! Everyone is queuing up!" Julie, the aunt in charge of serving meals in the winery, was still hiding and crying during the day, worried that the winery would collapse, and the job she had finally found would be gone.

And at this moment, this aunt's face was shining brightly, she waved a spoon, and gave each man in line a piece of meat in turn, a bowl with a lot of carrots, onions and beans, boiled together with meat and butter bisque.

This protein-packed meal, apparently, is like a shot in the arm for workers who have recently been starving for oil and water.

"Master Charlie has found a solution?" The men were holding bowls and excitedly gathered around Dere who was also eating at the table next to him.

Andre stayed with them all day in the sugar factory, and he didn't know anything, either? In fact, he was just wondering why there was meat.

The winery was noisy, and the women workers in the sugar factory were also surprised when they saw the dinner.

"What's going on,? Why did you suddenly have meat again?!" The girls gathered together in twos and threes after finishing their meal, sitting on the stools resting in the yard, and couldn't help talking softly.

But the meat is still good news, which shows that Master Charlie has recovered from the economic crisis.

"It turns out that the master went hunting today just to celebrate." The young female worker ate barbecue with a smile, and after washing her bowl and putting it back in its original place, at night, after taking a bath, everyone looked relaxed while talking.

The previous dull atmosphere no longer existed, and the girls instantly became cheerful, with smiles on everyone's faces.

But Jennifer,? She was reprimanded by Hathaway yesterday, and today's dinner has been greatly improved. It is better than the previous fish and delicious. This makes Jennifer look a little ugly, like being slapped Like a slap in the face.

But no one paid attention to her, and everyone was very happy. At night, the girls prayed to the moonlight and slept soundly.

No one thought that these meats were the prey that Mr. Charlie himself went up the mountain to hunt.It's no wonder, because this weight is too much, and it really doesn't meet the weight that can be brought back from a hunting.

In fact, Du Changqiu himself did not expect that the harvest would be so rich.Although he probably knew that he would gain something, he never expected that this back mountain is a treasure house!

When he went hunting early in the morning, Du Changqiu was in a very good mood.

Without the liberating nature anytime and anywhere, and he let everyone pick up those corrupted things, this made the whole environment completely fresh, and the whole Wilt Manor finally had a bit of that poetic and classical country style.

This made Du Changqiu, who was walking all the way on horseback, feel refreshed.

He also rode very steadily. It is impossible not to ride a horse in this era, especially during the time in the baron's castle. Every time Du Changqiu followed him to hunt, he rode very dangerously.

So when he came back, Du Changqiu specially set aside some time every day to ride Charlie's maroon horses and run around the village to cultivate a tacit understanding with the mounts.The other is to practice swordsmanship for about two hours every day before eating in the afternoon.

Living in this era where people may fight at any time, Du Changqiu doesn't want to become a fat sheep that can be taken away casually.Moreover, only a powerful lord can gain the trust and respect of his subordinates. If Du Changqiu is not strong enough, let alone the sheriff and patrol team, even the servants may not think highly of him.

Of course it won't show on the surface, but sometimes a little neglect and contempt, in this position, is enough for fatal things to happen.

For example, a certain person in power in the Damon family was afraid of swords and fighting, hot parties and balls, and was always ridiculed as "the eldest lady of the Damon family".When this gentleman was managing the Damon Manor, although everyone performed their duties, they were too benevolent and lax in management. In the end, the watchman dared to get drunk while working. The ancestor was vigilant, and ran back to report the news. Maybe the Wirt Manor had already become someone else's territory.

This is the age, everything is so simple and barbaric.Now that Du Changqiu is here, he is not a person who is particularly picky about the environment—it doesn’t count if he liberates his nature everywhere, and no one can bear it—in short, he has never given up on exercise, so now he is riding a war horse smoothly. , very stylish.

And the patrolmen around him are riding draft horses—no way, the war horses Du Changqiu rides are too expensive, unlike the cheap draft horses usually used to pull carts and camels. It is less than the price of a cow, about ten or twenty shillings, not more than one pound at most.

But war horses are becoming more and more expensive nowadays. A few years ago, a horse cost sixty or seventy shillings, and everyone felt that it was crazy, but now it is said that the good horses brought by the horse dealers cost at least ten pounds, and the war horses have been reproduced from generation to generation. , even with the number of war horses in a big noble castle, it cannot be self-sufficient for a long time.

In order to ensure good quality, it is destined to add some foreign horses to them every once in a while, so as to avoid too much inbreeding in the end, and the foals born will increase the risk of genetic diseases.Therefore, the demand for war horses is always the greatest, and it is no wonder that they are getting more and more expensive.

In short, war horses are precious things, and a small lord can have two or three horses for the use of family members, which is considered very rich.

Now Damon's family only has two and a half war horses.Old Daemon's war horse has died, but Brother Charlie's war horse is still there. Du Changqiu is putting it in the stable now, and it is free to feed. Anne and little Margarina often go to see it people.

The "hero" that Du Changqiu was riding was Charlie's old buddy, and he was still fighting well, and he might have to retire in two years.Including the offspring of the old Daemon's horse and the mare, this pony is less than two years old and has not been trained well, so it can only be counted as half a horse.

In this kind of war with cold weapons, war horses are absolutely very important. They usually run very fast, are less frightened in war, and have a considerable degree of coordination ability with their masters.It can be said that to a large extent, war horses can determine a knight's chances of winning in a war.

So it is not unreasonable that it is precious, but when it comes to hunting, there are not so many requirements. As long as there are horses to travel, everyone will be led by hunters in a short while, and soon arrive at the place where the hares are haunted.

I have to say that the hare is a thing. Perhaps after reading the information, future generations will find the furry rabbit cute, including seeing the rabbit mound in the orc tribe whose ears will stand up every time it is frightened. It is also very funny.

But if you ask people, especially farmers or herdsmen, who live in places where wild rabbits multiply, you will know that they don't like rabbits at all, and even have strong anger and hatred for rabbits.

This is because, first of all, the reproductive ability of rabbits is terrible. Generally, they can conceive a litter in two months, and a litter can give birth to four to ten rabbits.

What is the concept?Equal to every year, two rabbits can produce 48 to 120 little rabbits!

This is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that the adult period of a rabbit is four months!In other words, it only takes four months for the female rabbit to become an adult, and she can give birth to new babies again!

Even taking into account reasons such as avoiding dystocia, etc., the best breeding time is six months, that is, the half-year-old female rabbit begins the first litter... However, this is still very amazing.

A pair of rabbits, taking the median value, can produce [-] young rabbits every year. If half of them are female rabbits, within half a year of maturity, it is conservatively estimated that these small rabbits can breed at least several hundred young rabbits.It is a matter of minutes for the rabbit to directly create a big family of five generations from the two.

And rabbits are very good at digging holes. They will destroy the pasture. The natural and fertile wild pasture is the favorite place for horses and cows. Every spring, summer and autumn, the livestock are put on the pasture to eat and drink on their own, without any pressure.

But because of the large number of rabbits, they not only eat green grass, but also compete with cattle, horses and sheep for food, and when their number increases, they will not let go of crops, stealing a lot of wheat seedlings and vegetables every year.

Not only do they steal food, but what's even worse is that they also dig a lot of holes. When they become wicked, their holes can be dug under the roots of trees, and the trees will be killed directly.

Killing fruit trees is not the most hateful thing, the most wicked thing is killing cattle and horses.

Du Changqiu recalled that several times he had to kill cows and horses in their prime, because they stepped on a deep rabbit hole in the pasture and sprained their legs, or because the pits dug by rabbits were difficult to walk on. He fell directly to the ground and was seriously injured...

In short, the rabbits are really cute, but according to Charlie's memories after Du Changqiu learned that he found the rabbit nest, he knows that the rabbits are very cute, and the villagers can't wait to have all the rabbits in the nest.

It has to be said that rabbits can become the only prey that the lords allow the commoners to hunt after paying the hunting tax. They are still very good at attracting hatred.

Du Changqiu recalled the troublesome past that Charlie knew, and became more eager to catch the rabbit. Of course, the most important thing was that he searched for various cooking methods of rabbit meat before he set off, and saw the introduction of the rabbit, saying that the meat quality Very tender, with tender muscle fibers, delicious and delicious, and high in protein and low in fat, the digestibility and nutritional value are very high.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" once recorded: Rabbit meat is cold in nature and sweet in taste, and has the effects of nourishing the middle and replenishing Qi, quenching thirst and invigorating the spleen, cooling blood and relieving heat, and benefiting the large intestine.

Seeing this, although he had eaten rabbit meat in the orc tribe, Du Changqiu, who felt that it seemed to be different from this introduction, immediately became interested.

The rabbits of the orc tribe are very tall and mighty, and the meat tastes really good, but Du Changqiu really didn't feel how tender and digestible it was. After eating, it was very full, and the fat content was also high. It dripped oil when roasted. Ten catties... Thinking of Xin Huzi and the fur of the little Lulu beast he still kept in the storage space, Du Changqiu felt that the rabbits of the orcs were probably different from normal rabbits.

So he was very excited. When we arrived at the place, everyone blocked the rabbit hole first, and then Du Changqiu gave Fan Xing a wink, Fan Xing very cooperatively spread his hooves and ran towards the valley. Behind him, the hunting dogs did the same. Run quickly towards the rabbits that start to drill into the hole when they hear the sound, drive them away, and don't allow them to run to other holes.

This is a fashionable hunting method of the nobles, probably because the hunting weapons are still relatively outdated at the moment, and it is more dependent on the hounds to drive the prey to the side of the people first, and then the hunters start to face the running ones. The rabbit is crazy about archery.

In the chaos, Du Changqiu's arrow missed, but the patrolmen around him all gained something.

Soon there were more than a dozen dead rabbits hanging on the backs of their horses, especially a young man named Nyala, who was so blessed that the sacks on his horses were almost half full!

These rabbits are enough for everyone to clean up and eat, because these wild rabbits are fat and strong. Du Changqiu checked their information a little bit and found that although these rabbits are not as good as the smallest physique of dozens of catties in the orc world, they are still Not small either.

These rabbits weigh as little as five or six catties, and the largest can reach twelve or three catties, and the detected protein and various nutrient contents are indeed completely different from the rabbits in the orc world.

Du Changqiu couldn't help but began to look forward to the taste of these rabbits.

But at the same time of looking forward to it, he was a bit unable to come down. Although the prey these people hunted had to be given to him, the lord, and the prey was indeed enough, but the problem was that he brought Fan Xing together to hunt, and in the end everyone caught it. , He was the only one who didn't hit him, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

"Chi".

Fanxing made a mocking sound.

This made Du Changqiu, who was going to fool around and go back to make rabbit meat, suddenly felt that he was underestimated by Fan Xing. He became angry from embarrassment, and said loudly: "Elinofor, bring me a tinder! You all look at it!" Come on, the rabbit will come out later, put a sack on it for me and catch him alive!"

Amid everyone's bewilderment, Du Changqiu picked up a handful of dead branches and dry grass on the ground with the fire scythe handed over by Aili Nuofu, and then took out the tinder to light the fire.

Soon the fire ignited, Du Changqiu immediately rolled up a big grass handle, and started to smoke towards the cave judged by the hunter.

Let Eleonorf fan the wind by the side and send the smoke directly into the hole. After a while, the patrolman who didn't know why suddenly saw a gray-white figure jumping out with a sound, and all the patrolmen holding the sack He didn't react, but next to him, a sleek black and white hound caught it in an instant and caught it in one bite.

The rabbits were still stretching their legs and jumping around, but the quick-acting patrolmen had already covered the hole with sacks, and the rabbits, who were overwhelmed by the smoke, jumped out one by one and went straight into the sacks. After a while, there were seven or eight in the sacks. Rabbits of various sizes.

"Mr. Charlie, you are amazing!" Elinofor didn't catch any prey. Although he secretly learned a lot from everyone, he hasn't learned about hunting and archery for many years. If his muscles don't have memory, he can't help it. , can't hit anything at all.

And Mr. Charlie didn't catch any prey, which made Eleanor feel a little balanced. After all, Mr. Charlie was a young knight, so he couldn't hunt rabbits, so hunting must be too difficult!

As a result, the thoughts turned around, and Mr. Charlie gave us a show!

Seeing the rabbit still struggling crazily in the bag, everyone looked at Du Changqiu with reverent eyes.

Du Changqiu looked at the stars not far away, and showed a smug smile.

Hmph, I finally saved face.

Of course, this is the case for Fan Xing, and Du Changqiu still has the air of a leader to the amazed crowd. He said very calmly: "Look, this is a very good way to shoot rabbits, and I will demonstrate it to you again."

After a few more rabbit holes, Du Changqiu practiced it for the first time, and he hasn't enjoyed it yet, and it's time to go back soon.

Going out for fun in this era is not the era that Du Changqiu lived in. The high-speed traffic can't wait to compress the distance of the whole earth into the distance between villages. The traffic of more than three hours is already considered a very tiring trip.

In this era, Du Changqiu set off from the castle to the Rabbit Forest, and then went to a random shooting of arrows to smoke a few nests of rabbits. By this time, it was already afternoon, and it would be dinner in two hours.

This is almost equivalent to hunting and outing.

Everyone was very happy on the return journey. Today’s harvest was very impressive. Several people destroyed a large rabbit nest and killed more than 100 rabbits.

"Live rabbits, you put them in some wooden frames first, press the boards on them, and take them to the livestock shed. Remember not to let them have a chance to escape." Du Changqiu called Jack when he returned, and arranged for him the dozens of live rabbits. The whereabouts of the wild rabbits—the sugar beet dregs that are now boiled in sugar are really inexhaustible. He triggered Charlie's memory today, and he realized that rabbits are so prolific, and they have become a plague in the village.

And the rabbits are so cute, the meat is still nutritious, and the meat in the house is about to run out at the moment... To sum up, Du Changqiu feels that he is really sorry for his pocket if he doesn't raise some.

Du Changqiu told Jack in detail how to lock up the rabbits, and how to get him to go to the housekeeper Serena to arrange some servants to help him nail some rabbit cages overnight, and check the speed of the rabbits eating wooden cages every day, and replace them in time, etc. wait.

After giving instructions, Du Changqiu had time to look at the more than 100 dead rabbits, big and small, all over the ground, adding up to hundreds of catties of meat.

Seeing it here, Charlie must have collapsed. It is indeed the easiest for him to shoot rabbits every time, but the problem is that he has never shot so many, and it is almost worth his harvest for a quarter.

"You guys go clean up, wash your hands, and eat rabbit meat later." Many rabbits here were shot by patrolmen, and Du Changqiu didn't intend to wrong them. He looked at the rabbit meat all over the floor and made an estimate. , Immediately said to the members of the patrol team.

Aunt Mary got the order from her husband, and quickly killed the rabbit and stripped the skin, dried and stored the skin, and then washed the rabbit meat to marinate.

During the period, Du Changqiu came over and marinated the meat with Xin Huzi. He dared to eat Xin Huzi, but he still didn't dare to give it to Aunt Mary.

Because the environment of organisms is self-contained, Du Changqiu dare not leave seeds of Xinhuzi, a plant that has never appeared in the human database.If the planting continues, it will have a big impact on the entire ecological chain, Du Changqiu feels that he can't afford such a terrible consequence.

However, the potato roots in the orc world, that is, potatoes, Du Changqiu compared according to the data, and it seems to roughly match the potatoes that are still growing on the American continent in the database.

Du Changqiu planned to get some land to cultivate this already existing thing in spring.

It cannot be planted on a large scale because he does not have many potato roots, except for the original species that must be kept and sent home.Now he only has fifty or sixty catties in his hands. At that time, after planting the land, considering that there were too few orcs, they would not be able to eat them all, so he specially left over the seeds.

At that time, Du Changqiu finished planting the land and stuffed it into the storage container. He originally planned to eat it in a few days, but after a delay, it was now.

One mu of land needs at least about [-] catties of seeds, plus the loss of experiments such as germination and cultivation, and planting in batches. The maximum yield of potatoes per mu is [-] catties, but that can only be obtained through extremely meticulous planting and cultivation. The output, generally the median value is about five or six thousand catties.

Therefore, based on this speculation, he planted the seeds in four or five batches of experimental methods. If he is optimistic, if half of them can survive, then the seeds in his hand can turn up to four to five hundred catties at most. After this season, four to five hundred catties of potatoes It is not enough to plant two acres of land, and it will not be harvested until four or five hundred catties are planted, and large-scale planting will start in the third year.

So in the past two years, Du Changqiu has not counted on potatoes. He can only continue to sell sugar and trade first, and then buy cheap rye and oats to get more output for the fields.

The most important thing is to develop animal husbandry.

Before Du Changqiu was still a little anxious - cattle, sheep, pigs and chickens could not solve such a large meat shortage in a short period of time. He calculated that the timeline for input and output was too long.

It is also impossible to only feed cheap fish to workers for a long time, especially in summer, fish meat is not easy to preserve, and salt is a little expensive, so salted fish is not very cheap.

And directly buying the kind of salted fish with less salt usually has some rancid smell, which can only be the worst choice.

But today's wild hunting gave him a good choice.

Therefore, Du Changqiu was still very happy, and all the patrolmen in the castle were also very happy that day - each of them got about half a piece of rabbit meat, which was roasted golden and oily, and when bitten down, the soft and tender rabbit meat It is pickled and delicious, and it shatters in the mouth after chewing lightly. The spicy and salty taste instantly fills the brain, and the appetite of the eater is instantly whetted!

"To the rabbit!" Du Changqiu raised his wine glass and said to everyone.

"Toast to the rabbit!" Everyone raised their glasses and shouted!

Of course, if the rabbits on the mountain knew about Du Changqiu's plan, they probably wouldn't want everyone to respect them at all.

After this roasted rabbit feast, the patrolmen who were so appreciated by the lord for the first time seemed to have blood on their bodies. From the next day, Wilt Manor began a month-long campaign against hares. Big strangle.

The rabbit who has been wicked for many years and relied on his breeding ability to run amok has finally received his retribution—from one mountain to another, from woods to apple groves, from pastures to farmlands.

The rabbit escaped, and Du Changqiu led the patrolmen to chase after him.

They are simply hard to fly.
