The Defeated Dragon

Ties, shirts, vests, vests, boxers, suits, pants, gentlemen's hats, leather shoes, Lester has a range of clothes he wants to produce.

But he cannot be so different, after all, he is only a baron in the countryside, and if one day he becomes the head of a country, he can reform and lead the trend at will.

Now only cumbersome clothing can be tolerated to maintain the so-called nobility of decency.

“My lord, I gave my servants a half-day off, and from tomorrow they will work for the castle with all their heart. ”

“Well, you look at the arrangement. ”

“Yes.”

Lester, who was sweaty, didn't have much interest in climbing: "Mr. Carter, it's not a very friendly weather for people to prepare bath water for me. ”

“as you wish.” Carter hurry up and tell the maids to prepare the bath water.

Bathing water is often available in small castles today, because the servants know that their master is a nobleman who loves to be clean, that it is normal to wash once a day, that it is normal to wash twice a day and that it is not unusual to wash three times a day. It's only a day without washing, that's not normal.

I took a bath, changed my home clothes, and loose robes.

These robes are a kind of pajamas —— nobles here know that it's hard to always wear a tight dress, so change your pajamas and treat them like homewear.

Lister still feels cumbersome and uncomfortable wearing it.

His favorites in the summer were semi-cross-sleeve shirts and T-shirts, so he rolled up the robe's sleeves and revealed semi-cross-arms. Though this is inconsistent with the nobility's etiquette, in the little castle, no one dares to hold him to account for this little excess. The countryside also has its advantages.

“Unfortunately, my lord, we do not have ice, otherwise I can brew you a glass of ice sugar water to quench the heat. ”

“Even in Tulip Castle, I can tolerate the difficulty of not having much ice to squander in the summer, except, unfortunately, that cold beer can no longer be drunk.” He doesn't like to drink, now he drinks at the banquet, also because his predecessor loves wine and needs to socialize.

But the only thing he likes is a cold beer in the summer, and his heart is cool and bright.

Looking at the approaching summer, the day is hotter than the day. At the hottest time in the memory of Coral Island, the eggs can be cooked on the ground, estimated at 40 degrees.

Many serfs die of heat every year.

“I heard that nitrous stones can make ice, but nitrous stones are difficult to do. Coral Island doesn't seem to have nitrous ore mines. I don't know any of them... Remember to read the book, rural land corners, stables, toilet corners will be rich in nitrous stones, but the flower town is full of wood houses and no toilets...”

The technology of vitreous ice making, essentially Liszt, can't replicate it.

He can only hide the ice in the ice cellar in the winter, like any other nobleman, and move it out in the summer: "Mr. Carter, this winter, don't forget to remind me to build an ice cellar. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

……

Dinner.

Gorte, Marcus, Isaiah and Blair - the only four people in Flower Town - are routinely invited to dinner at a table with Lester.

“Lester, the oyster tunnel has been planned, and tomorrow, the first oyster tunnel fishermen will go fishing officially on the east coast wearing the new equipment you have prepared for them. These are the elderly and the women and children, stupid and impulsive, who have been picking up shells by the sea for two days. ”

The lord himself used seafood as a feast, and as soon as the news came out, the civilians followed suit and prepared to go for seafood.

They always follow the Lord's behavior.

Lister said seriously: "Teacher Gaultai, be sure to guide us safely. I don't want any civilians because seafood is dangerous. As officials of a small town, you must take this idea seriously, and the population is the most important productive force in the town of flowers. ”

Perhaps not in the heart.

But Gaultai et al., who had understood Lester's attitude, nodded without hesitation and said they understood.

“So tomorrow, if you have time, come with me to Oyster Tun to see how fishermen make their first rush to sea. At the same time, actively promote every kind of seafood that can and cannot be harvested, and teach them how to conserve seafood. ”

“Baron, we have organized paperwork to emphasize this repeatedly. And the seafood in the castle, which every clerk tastes, is very positive. ”

“Very good.”

Until the next day, when the tide counts, Lester came to Oyster Tun with a knight. Oyster Tun has not yet begun to build houses, just to shovel a wasteland not far from the sea, and will build wooden houses in the future.

At this time, there were about 200 women and children, old and weak, carrying baskets or barrels, constantly looking for every rock on the flat beach on the east coast and shoveling every piece of mud and sand.

Many of them, without gloves and shovels, hammers and other tools, are completely unable to keep up with the output of one hand - the town tailor shop and the blacksmith shop.

“My Lord! ”

After seeing Lister, the fishermen saluted.

Lester turned slightly, responded to the fishermen, rode the dragon horse and snuck around. The rush to the sea is fortunate, the wind is blistering, but the workload is not huge, so in the past, some fishermen with a “leisure time" feeling, enthusiasm, whether or not they have experience, are busy and happy.

After just watching for a while, Lester was so hot that he quickly hid under the coconut tree.

He looked up at the tall coconut tree and always felt something was wrong. Half a mile later, he understood: “No coconuts! ”

So I turned to the clerk beside me and said, "Is this tree fruitless? ”

“As a result, my lord, this is a broccoli tree, whose fruit is called broccoli fruit, but when the fruit was small, it was picked up by the monkeys of Thorn Ridge. ”

“Monkey? ”

“It's a gray-yellow monkey, and we all call them fruit monkeys, and they're vicious, and sometimes they come together to ruin crops on farmland. ”

“Stolen Fruit Monkey...” Lister nodded, not talking.

He suddenly remembered the news he had seen, as if in some countries in South-East Asia, there was a tradition of training monkeys to pick coconuts. Coconut trees are so tall that it's hard for humans to climb up, but monkeys can pick coconut fruit with ease - if the town also trains a bunch of fruit monkeys, maybe it can develop the coconut business.

Of course, he's not sure if this coconut tree is a real coconut tree —— a winter flower town -- but it's been snowing for more than two months, and if it was a real coconut tree, it would have frozen to death.

“How does the coconut taste? ”

“Once I found a broccoli fruit dropped by a stolen fruit monkey with lots of milk-like juice, sweet, sour and tasty. ”

Lester was hooked up with a worm.

There are many such coconut trees on the east coast, and if protected, a lot of coconut fruit should be harvested. It can be considered a beverage or even a specialty.

He looked further into Thorn Ridge: "Sooner or later, take down Thorn Ridge and kill all the risks that threaten Flower Town! ”

Stealing fruit monkeys, just in time to train to pick fruit.
