The Adventure of the Boy With a Mind of a Middle-aged Man

Episode 6: Grouping with the Servants

Three weeks have passed.

Recently, he eats kitchen bribes with servants. The reason for this is because that mother-in-law instructed me to. My mother-in-law wanted to treat me like a servant by surrounding the same table as the servants. Naturally, it is rather a reward (broom) for me, and I provide the dam with ingredients and have them cooked for everyone to eat.

In Gilles' words, what I have includes pretty fancy ingredients as well. Cook it with lots of salt and pepper. Honestly, I thought the food was delicious for the first time since I was reincarnated into this world.

"Master Grey, it's delicious."

With a happy little mouth, the other servants hammer at the satella, which is covered in grilled meat.

"Well, if the quality of the meat is good, you can just cook it and sprinkle with salt and pepper, it's delicious."

"Boy, the quantity and quality of this meat every day, hunter-like, no, that's more than that!

A dam who eats soup but is not always excited to share that sentiment. Recently, if I have free time (hima) with the dam, I am considering whether there are any delicious dishes from ingredients.

"Well, recently, my bow arm went up."

"I want to feed my mothers this meal"

The words of one of the servants cast a shadow on everyone's face.

Millard territory is poor. The reason for this is probably the absence of livestock production and the limited amount of agricultural products that can be taken in this Millard territory. First, lime gi is the main thing. And you can put some vegetables in there or some meat that you can take out of the mountains.

More fundamentally, because we have a semi-hunting ethnic life.

"Life in this realm will not improve unless we achieve full farming and pastoralism."

"Fully farmed livestock?

"Oh, neither mountain vegetables nor beasts could have accidentally relied on that harvest. First, the meat of the beast depends on the hunter's arm, and the mountain vegetables depend on the discernment of the harvester. Then we can't always expect a certain harvest."

"So what do you think the boy should do?

A rare, oligarchy (perhaps) Sebastian asks such a question.

"I ask you the other way around, is there a reason this realm is poor?

"Will the land be lean (or) and yields drop significantly every three years?

"Exactly, the land is less rainy climatically. Therefore, the moisture content of the land (Cancer Ritsu) is also very low. Then crops don't grow. And because crops don't grow, there's no food (esa) to feed livestock. That's exactly what a negative spiral is."

"But then there's nothing I can do..."

One of the servants groans, bossy.

"Not really. If the land is thin, you can fatten it. First, buy livestock. And plant clover and other pastures on lean land"

"What is Clover?

"Soy, no, I'm one of Soy's guys. I don't care if it's soy. This type of plant also grows well on lean land, as it takes up nitrogen from the atmosphere and synthesizes proteins due to the root bacteria (konryukin) at its roots. And because it contains a lot of protein, it can fatten livestock"

What we're talking about now is a way to fatten a lean land called the Norfolk farming method.

Originally, like Sanjuku-style farming, it was necessary to divide the agricultural land into three parts, and put the land to rest in one rotation, such as making the summer cereal (kokokoko offal) into winter cereal (kokokoko offal) the following year, and then livestock grazing land.

This Norfolk farming method is a groundbreaking way to make this rotation unnecessary in a way. There is now an explosive population increase in Europe as a result of this agricultural method.

They're all pockety, and they seem a little bored when it comes to satire.

Was it a little too difficult? This is a crystal of wisdom acquired by mankind after an immense hunger. You can't even understand them right now. Change the subject.

"Master Gray, please continue your conversation"

"Oh, oh."

When I nodded at Sebastian's words without saying yes or no, I decided to continue the conversation.

"That's the only manure in livestock that makes the land fattening fertilizer. The yield per unit area increases, as does the clover, and the amount of livestock grown.

If you give me that much, it'll be easy later. Cultivate rice or wheat and various other crops. And store them for the winter. Especially for long-lasting, high-yield species per unit area. "

"Where did Master Gray get that knowledge?

Sebastian had half a mouth open, but that's what he asks.

"Yes, no, I just read a book I bought from a rare pedestrian. Look, I'm making money hunting and stuff."

I notice the convenience of Mameidae plants. It's just that simple. If it weren't for so much hard-headed ruinousness (Hatsushigi), I'd do it if I knew. This means that the Norfolk farming method is not yet widespread in this world. You spoke a little too much.

"Really..."

Sebastian has been thinking about it ever since, and he's been whispering.

"Let's eat"

Now it's time to shift the topic to the content of the dish.
