Cui Qichao put the cushion on his bed, and Xiaobai cheekily pawed his calf a few times.

This was too unexpected, too clever to be misunderstood by cleverness, who would have thought that Cui Qichao would be so conscientious...

Cui Qichao twirled the cat's fur down from the quilt one by one, and chuckled at the same time.

noob:"……"

Seeing Dabai and Daju swoop and lie on their cushions, with most of their bodies sunk in, making soft screams, Xiaobai is going crazy with jealousy.

Not only did Cui Qichao ignore Xiaobai, he even went to bed, put his elbows on Xiaobai's cushion, and began to read.

With Cui Qichao's weight, he could press the cushion out of the depression in one go.

Xiaobai's paws began to scratch the bed, just like Cui Qichao was fed up with no underwear in the Middle Ages, and he was fed up with only the linen mat, so hurry up and return the soft and delicate cotton pad, and it will be fine if he is pressed down by Cui Qichao like this. It's going to be flat!

Cui Qichao was indifferent.

Xiao Bai paused, and the sound of scratching the bed board became faster.

Xiaobai felt that he was not convinced yet, and in his subconscious, he wanted to lick Cui Qichao's fingers to curry favor with him, so that he could give him the mat.

Cui Qichao hung Xiaobai for almost three days before giving him the cushion before Xiaobai scratched the bed board out of the groove.

Xiaobai glanced at Cui Qichao resentfully: Cui Qichao has flattened all of this!

Cui Qichao looked at it, "Then do you want it?"

Xiaobai raised one paw and scratched the mat.

Cui Qichao patted the mat with both hands to make the cotton inside fluffy again, and then gave it to Xiaobai.

Xiaobai jumped up and stepped on it a few times, and settled on it with satisfaction.

"Isn't it good that you are always so obedient? Old Pi." Cui Qichao stroked Xiaobai's chin.

Xiaobai raised his chin and groaned a few times, thinking that you are the old man, one day Feng Shui will turn around, and you will sit down for me as soon as I press my palm...

Lance's identity in Northumberland Castle is a bit embarrassing. His father is a knight and the lord's cousin, but his status is obviously not particularly high. He was captured and is now a busy vassal. Very popular with managers.

Knights are not hereditary. Although Lance has learned since childhood, he may not be canonized in the future.Although His Excellency the Baron treated him well, he was not ashamed to treat himself as a relative. Instead, he often served His Excellency the Baron and learned from His Excellency, just like a knight squire.

Usually, most of Lance's playmates are the sons of the cook, and the children of the stewards only play with him when he has candy.

This time after the wool tree was harvested, Lance got a gift. It was a puppet rabbit that the Baron asked Lily to sew for him. It was stuffed with cotton, bulging and soft. It was also dyed a circle of red with the sap of beetroot for a week.

Lily told Lance in a low voice, "Master said, your father falls asleep every day when he comes back, and let this rabbit accompany you."

Lance hugged the rabbit and refused to let go. In fact, for the precocious children at this time, they prefer weapons, but the only doll is also very interesting.

Lance tied the rabbit as big as his forearm to his back and took it to play with the cook's son Aaron.

Aaron was very envious of Lance's rabbit. He touched it again and again. He had a three-year-old sister, but his mother wouldn't let him touch it. "Is this the wool of the wool tree?"

"That's right!" Lance pinched the doll's arm, "Have you seen them drying the baron's quilts and pillows? They are all made of tree wool."

"Lance, your rabbit, can you borrow me for a day?" Aaron asked.

Lance fell into silence, he was very, very reluctant, but then he thought of how generous the master was to others, and the master was his benchmark, so he felt that he should also be more generous.

At this time, Aaron had already seen his embarrassment, and said embarrassingly: "Forget it, I'll pet it, and you still want it to sleep with you at night."

Lance's face turned red, he wasn't afraid of the dark at all, although it was really comfortable to hold the doll at night...

"Wait, I'll get you one!" Lance clenched his fist.

So Lance followed his father and the Cavaliers to go hunting in the forest farm. Lance was already learning bow and sword, and he wandered around the forest farm with the knights for a day.

That night, Cui Qichao heard that Lance had hit a hare, and he called Lance to praise him. The hare ran so fast, the kid was only too old to be able to hit it.

Lance whispered, "Can you give me the rabbit?"

All the birds and beasts on the territory belonged to the lord, and Lance had never asked Cui Qichao for anything. He felt a little surprised, "Of course, do you want to eat rabbits?"

"No." Lance touched his ear, "Because Aaron also wants a rabbit, but I'm not willing to give up this rabbit."

"Do you like Aaron very much?" Cui Qichao asked again, "I often see you playing together, don't you like other children?"

Lance didn't expect the master to know when he was playing in private, but subconsciously replied honestly: "No, but I like Aaron the most, we are the best, he is kind and loyal."

"You are also very kind." Cui Qichao said, children of the aristocratic class are usually not willing to play with children of the common people and below. It is possible that after Lance was born, he did not stay in that environment for long and wandered around with his father. Related, and then came Northumberland, who belonged to a kind of crooked aristocracy.

Lance smiled shyly, and ran to find Aaron with the rabbit that the lord gave him.

The rabbit was also injured and they bandaged it and Aaron slept with it for three days.

On the fourth day, they went to find Cui Qichao with the rabbit in their arms.

"We'll return this rabbit to you, Your Excellency," Lance said.

"What's going on here?"

Aaron said with a disheartened face: "There are worms on the rabbit. I hugged it to sleep, but the worms bit me so much that I couldn't sleep. I think the rabbit is cuter when it is ripe."

"I agree with this very much." Cui Qichao said, "This rabbit has already been given to you, so don't return it to me, go to the kitchen and burn it."

Lance and Aaron looked at each other.

Cui Qichao encouraged: "Go."

The two children grabbed the rabbit and ran to the kitchen. Sure enough, cute doll rabbits are one thing, but live hares should be eaten!

The cook made this hare her own special dish, roasting the hare with scallions. Of course, she secretly referred to the method used by the master, and did not hang the rabbit meat.

When cooking, it is not burnt whole, but chopped open, and a lot of carrots and beans are added inside, and it can be cooked into a large pot. Lance tasted it, and the diced rabbit meat is very tasty, with golden yellow skin, bite The inside is still tender, full of soup, and the aroma of fried shallots is overflowing.

To say that the most practical method that the cook learned from the master is to remove the fishy smell.Because most of the meat we eat is wild game, with a strong fishy smell, the previous cooking method has to be stinky to make the meat tender, and it is also very rough to cover up the taste with spices.

Under the master's guidance, the cook gradually realized which spices can perfectly remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor as long as the appropriate amount is used together.

Such improved roasted hare with scallions does not have the strong fishy smell unique to hares, and the gravy is tender and chewy. The golden diced meat, purple-red carrots, and green scallions are also very in line with the aesthetics of medieval dishes. The color Bright and rich.

When the cook cuts the rabbit, he chops it up to the bone—thanks to the large amount of utensils brought back by the trade team, the master specially ordered new knives for the cook, which are very useful.There are still some residual bones hanging on the diced meat, and they are full of fragrance. When the meat is picked off with the tongue, you can still suck the bones. The bones of rabbits are very thin, and you can crush them. Some parts are brittle. The crunchy taste is even better when you bite into it.The carrots and beans inside are also soaked in soup, soft and fragrant.

The cook was a little envious when she saw that the two of them were chewing deliciously and crisply, because they had eaten hard bread with many impurities all year round, and the teeth of adults were basically worn out, not as good as children's teeth.

"You can't finish eating, I'll put away the rest for you, and if you want to eat, come to the kitchen to get it." The cook said kindly, Aaron is her son, needless to say, as for Lance, although his father is a bit annoying Children, but children are very lovable.

Lance thought for a while, and said to Aaron, "Why don't we distribute the rabbit meat to the people in the castle."

Aaron was gnawing on the brittle bone, scratching the back of his head: "I listen to you..." It's true that the rabbit meat is delicious, but the rabbit was originally caught by Lance, and the master gave it to him because of Lance.

"Lance, why do you want to divide?" The cook has raised several children, and none of them are like piglets, who suck up all the food when they see it.

"We have almost eaten, and the lord will distribute the dishes to everyone every time. Auntie, every time there is a big banquet, the leftovers from the dishes you cook can be distributed to the slaves." Lance said, "Food They are all designated by the master, but when the master is planting vegetables, he can tell if there is enough water in the pot to water a few plants."

The cook was stunned for a moment.

She has been cooking for the master for so long, and she has seen the master grow vegetables, and they are not bad at all, but she never thought of this. Could it be because the master's vegetable growing skills were revealed relatively late.

But anyway, she felt that she was too dull.That's right, the master's control ability is clearly accurate to the millimeter, but every time he stares at her cooking, there will always be a lot of the designated dishes cooked.

The people in the castle thought it was the master's aristocratic habit, like extravagance and boasting, and they knew it from the sugar banquet held by him.However, it should be controlled so that everyone can be full, and there is a little left on the plate, wouldn't it be good?

Thinking about it again, this is actually very reasonable, because the master always rewards with food, not other things. Even if you make candy, you have to give a little to all the children in the village... The average weight of the people in the castle is growing up. , this can't be simply showing off wealth, right?

The cook suddenly felt that she had only discovered a very, very obvious fact now, and Lance had discovered it at a glance.The master is not so generous that he distributes the rest to everyone, but calculates how much will be left from the beginning.

Although everyone has long recognized that the master is a kind person, she still couldn't help sniffing, remembering that when the master cooked the first meal, he coldly let her take a bite, and said that he wanted her to remember the taste.

The cook, who was a little emotional, helped Lance and Aaron distribute the rabbit meat to other people in the castle. At first, everyone thought it was the master who rewarded them again.

Of course, what happened in the castle cannot be hidden from the lord himself, the butler muttered to the side that this atmosphere was brought up by the lord, with a lot of helplessness in his tone.Lance's actions couldn't move him under the repeated bombardment of the master.

Until the master said: "I think there is still a big difference. If it were me, I would definitely not roast rabbit with green onions, but I would roast rabbit with herbs..."

housekeeper:"……"

·

The strangely shaped and over-square mansion that the master ordered to build below gradually took shape. Because the stewards asked for a fence to be built outside, he became even more unscrupulous and ordered the windows to be opened wide.

Cui Qichao often goes to supervise the construction in person to see the house he will live in in the future, and even asks people to build a few small platforms in the room for cats to jump on when they are building. punished.

Cui Qichao even lied to everyone that he would cut open the cat's stomach, sew it up, and cure it with herbs, all thanks to Xiaobai's acting skills.

The master room was basically formed, and the roof was erected. Cui Qichao sat in the room for a while and felt it. Although the interior of the house built of stones was relatively shady, the windows were opened relatively large and the orientation was good. When the windows were opened, the inside of the house would be bright. , It will be warm after a while.

In the yard, river water will be diverted to form a small pond, which is used as domestic water for everyone to use, and the canals are almost dug.

At this time, Cui Qichao received a letter from the archbishop. This reliable adult told him that soon the diocese will try out the first trading place, mainly brown sugar.Brown sugar from Northumberland could later be sent to him anonymously for sale in return for offering the sugar law.

In addition, due to Cui Qichao's repeated contributions, the archbishop told him that he now has some reputation among the top church officials. In order to distinguish him from other people with the same name, they even gave him a nickname:

Tristan the cat abuser.

Cui Qichao: "???"

Cui Qichao couldn't bear it anymore, and asked the favorite agricultural officer beside him, "Why would someone call me a cat abuser?"

There was a bit of a joke in this cruelty. At first the archbishop said that he had made great contributions to him repeatedly. He thought that even if he didn't have the title of "Shen Nong", he would be an "insect killer" or "brown sugar maniac" anyway. It's too ugly.

Besides, he abused a cat in Northumberland, so he should be famous in the local area. How did it spread to the outside world? He didn't mention this in his own letter.

The agricultural officer didn't realize what was wrong. This nickname is quite good. Now that the standard of living is not high and there are many wars, the nicknames of other lords are even worse, such as Cyclops, Bald, and Pockmarked.The lord, at any rate, is a little heroic. Since the lord usually doesn't like hunting or war, it is impossible for him to get nicknames such as "Tiger Fighting Hero" and "Dragon Slaying Warrior".

"This... I think it should be the credit of Your Excellency William." The agricultural officer said lightly, "Your Excellency William has to report his preaching results to the Archdiocese. He may have also mentioned your enthusiasm for torturing the incarnation of demons."

Cui Qichao: "..."

It turned out to be William, that's right, it could only be William, this guy is happy to report.

But what else could Cui Qichao do? He couldn't bear it silently.

Although he had so many specialties, he was appointed as a cat abuser. I don't know if it had something to do with the church's attributes. Cui Qichao walked out of the courtyard in a sense of loss, not in the mood to encourage the workers.

As soon as he went out, he saw serfs not far or near watching. This scene was very common, and he didn't care.

Not far away, one of the farmers took a few steps forward tremblingly, and called out like a mosquito: "Master."

Cui Qichao stamped his feet, "What's the matter?"

Seeing that he really paid attention to him, the owner was so excited that he was almost speechless.

The agricultural officer rolled his eyes, "You bastard, what are you doing to delay the master, are you courting death?"

Then the owner farmer stuttered and said, "I, my sow is sick, sick..."

The agricultural officer scolded: "If you are sick, go to the pig herdsman!"

The yeoman squeezed out a tear: "I looked for it, but the pig herder couldn't help it. He said that my sow is hopeless, unless there is a miracle or the master takes action."

Cui Qichao: "..."

Misunderstood, why do you think he is very good at curing pigs?

Seeing that both the agricultural officer and the old man looked unhappy, the owner farmer hurriedly said: "Master, please, I only have this sow, and the whole family is holding on to it. If you can be merciful, I will only keep one sow's cubs." Only, the rest is all for you."

The agricultural officer's face looked better now, but he still cursed and said: "Who do you think the master is, just showing you a sow casually."

"But you are really my sow's last hope..." The farmer cried loudly, "It can't get up."

Cui Qichao's head hurt when he heard it, "Stop talking. Take me to see what's going on."

The agricultural officer whispered in his ear, sir, why did he really go to see his sow, if the master really wants to show his kindness and show his superb skills-all Northumberland knows that the master has treated pigs, then I also ask the master to pay more...

Despite the nagging from the agricultural officer, Cui Qichao went to the self-employed farmer's house to have a look.As a freeman, his family's conditions are much better than those of serfs. The houses are all made of wood, and besides pigs, there are sheep and chickens.

The only pig there was a sow that had given birth, and the farmer pointed it out to the master. The poor old sow had no strength in the back half of her body, and she couldn't even get up.He turned the sow up a bit, pinched the sow's udder and said, "And here, it's so swollen that I refuse to feed the piglets. The piglets are starving to death."

The agricultural officer immediately scolded: "Okay, the piglet is dying, and you still said to give it to the master."

"..." The self-cultivator defended in disgrace: "I thought, the master can take good care of them—"

Cui Qichao was a little speechless. He always wanted to say that he was not a veterinarian and would not treat him. This time he came along, but he didn't think he could really be cured. The last time it was a blind cat and a dead mouse.It’s just that the yeoman cried too badly, and said that he was the only hope for the sow... Come and comfort me.

In the end, looking at the condition of the sow, Cui Qichao actually had an idea.

Obviously, this sow has two problems. One is that she can't stand up. She just gave birth. According to the situation of human women that Cui Qichao knew, it may be lack of calcium and vitamins.

Another is that the breasts are inflamed, so they refuse to breastfeed the piglets, and it hurts to suck them.And the reason for its inflammation, Cui Qichao observed the environment, most likely because the weather is hot now, the sanitation conditions in the house are not good enough, and...

Cui Qichao flipped through its feed, "It's been fed a lot?"

The self-cultivator said: "Yes, our family only has this old sow. Thanks to you, life is going well now, and I mix a lot of food for it every day. Unexpectedly, it is still sick..."

"It's not good to eat too much," Cui Qichao said. If you eat too much, your breasts will swell. Coupled with environmental problems, it is very likely that inflammation is the real culprit.

Hey, I didn't expect that in this era of no science at all, Cui Qichao could diagnose sows. Even if he had the blood of Shennong, Shennong tasted herbs to heal people. Fortunately, he pushed people and pigs here.

It’s still the same as last time, let’s try it, Cui Qichao pondered: “I can only give some suggestions, whether it can be good or not depends on whether God blesses you.”

The owner farmer was ecstatic, "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

Calcium and vitamins are easy to say, the original feed should be changed and the amount should be limited.Add some egg skins in it to supplement calcium, calcium and phosphorus are twins, and add some plant ash to supplement phosphorus by the way, this can’t go away, vitamins should be supplemented with vitamin B1, such as vegetables, bran, beans.

As for inflammation, this Cui Qichao thought about it. In addition to cleaning up the environment, if he follows the human way of thinking, it should be clearing away heat, reducing swelling, promoting blood circulation and breastfeeding. try it.Portions have to be considered.Do you want to ask the yeoman to massage the swollen area...

Although Cui Qichao was confident in his heart, he appeared calm and composed. He ordered the owner farmer to let his family find the food they needed, massage and breastfeed the pig, and clean the pigpen. Always keep the place where you live in a dry and clean environment, otherwise, the devil will not be born from the filth.”

"You're right!" The owner felt that he had been taught a lot, and said while rubbing, "I will definitely clean it more frequently."
