The Defeated Dragon
Chapter 76 Three Merchants in a Small Town
When the convoy left Flower Town, the castle returned to calm, although a large number of plates, glasses, etc. remained to be cleared, and the small gardens outside the castle were not trampled by the knights. But all of this, Carter, can be cleaned up slowly by an organization servant without pressure.
The castle has fifteen servants, enough for use.
“Teacher Gaultai, the festival is about to pass and we need to get out of the festive atmosphere. Progress in the construction of the town cannot be stopped, with continued expansion of the logging and gravel teams, as well as fencing teams, with a view to opening the corridors early. ”
Gaultai's intentions remain unfulfilled: "As you wish. ”
At this banquet, he was as fishy as a fish and had a laugh with the Count. It had not been such a pleasure for many years.
“The town of Flowers is in full swing.” He used these adjectives to describe today's luncheon, glamorous seafood, and ice cream that soothed his tongue.
But Lister had another idea.
In the evening, he had a glass of wine with Carter alone: "Mr. Carter, I was going to show you the poverty side of Flower Town, perhaps in exchange for Tulip Chambourg. There was no reason to cry when a feast was inadvertently held: seafood, ice cream, meat of warcraft. ”
Carter smiled, “My lord has shown his style and your performance at the banquet is lovely. If I were a knight, I would most likely stay in Flower Town and follow you. ”
Another significance of the nobility "dazzling riches” is the demonstration of one's strength to attract followers.
Viscount Trick Viscount, attracted by the Count's display of charm, became a follower. Helping the Tulip family to participate in the Grand Duchy's pioneering war culminated in the grand foundation of the Earl of Coral Island.
“But no knight stayed, did he? ”
“I believe the seed has been sown, and perhaps one day it will suddenly bloom. ”
“A very philosophical sentence, Mr. Carter, to that, a toast. ”
“Cheers, sir. ”
A mouthful of wine moistened his throat, Lister asked, "How much food did my father bring today? ”
“All kinds of food are brought, but most will be used during the feast, mostly beer and fine wheat flour, as well as spices such as anise, ginger, pepper, licorice, and salt and sugar. ”
“How much wheat flour and beer are there each? ”
“Fine wheat flour has about 500 kg and beer has 30 barrels. ”
Fine wheat flour obviously specializes in making white bread for Lester, and he's a little crazy - you can feel the Count still having feelings for him as a father and son.
Some details can be shown.
For example, coming to Flower Town for a holiday is a sign of intimacy. If you really don't care about Lester, you don't have to come to a remote town for a holiday. The banquet deliberately did not care about the nitrous stone and did not try to protect him, especially when Mrs. Marie deliberately mentioned that the nitrous ore was worth developing.
And now he's got a lot more food to give him.
“Is the Count also a sarcastic integrity? That's a little annoying.” He was slightly disturbed, and if the Counts did not listen to him, he could easily keep the gentleman's friendship as pale as water and relax in his life.
What scares me the most is that there's a relationship between them.
Let him not know what to do, whether to be part of the affair as he is, or to maintain his personality and keep his distance.
“Is this the bond of affection, as long as you are human, you cannot escape this net. ”
After a sip of wine, he decided to stop thinking about the troubled matter and let it go - no initiative, no rejection. Out of his mind, he asked, "Mr. Carter, have you sent back the Tulip Chamberlain seafood? ”
“Already handed over to Mr. Silva, it's all good seafood. ”
“Very good, courtesy to each other. ”
Drop the glass.
Carter also drank the wine, put away two glasses and owed him a small gift: "Sir, rest early, good night, I'm leaving first. ”
“Good night, Mr. Carter. Sweet dreams. ”
……
Over the next few days, the monotony was calm.
In addition to overseeing logging, Liszt is also focusing on another thing - job training for fruit monkeys.
Seven uninjured burglar monkeys were captured alive, all survived and recovered their health, but two of them were limping and the tree was no longer likely to climb.
Five left, handed over to the hunters of the town for training.
The rope, whip, and fruit were spread together, and soon the temperamental stealing monkey was given to pack the clothes, let the tree go up, let the cage go in.
“Three female monkeys, four male monkeys, believe that by the second half of the year, ten fruit monkeys will be stolen.” Monkeys usually have two births a year, but one is usually a child.
Lister looked at the increasingly obedient fruit monkeys and was very satisfied: “Without the destruction of the fruit monkeys, this year's coconut fruit can ripen, I believe that in a month or two, you can drink fresh and sweet coconut juice.” The coconut fruit is not seasonal, except in winter when it does not grow.
“Coral City doesn't seem to have any coconut fruit for sale, maybe, development, which is another flower town specialty, but unfortunately no coconut tree sprites have been bred. ”
By the time he outlined the future of the coconut tree, the hunter had begun training to steal fruit from the monkeys.
Tie the fake fruit to the branches, let the stolen fruit monkey pick it up, and if you do, reward a peanut for not picking a straight whip. Stolen fruit monkeys can't run because they have a rope tied around their neck and dare to run, pulling back is a whip.
“Remember, animals also have vengeance and tantrums. Do not whip as long as they are serious. I find myself hitting and stealing fruit monkeys for no reason, and these whips I'll smoke on you.” He emphasised with seriousness that he did not wish to steal fruit monkeys to rebel and smash several fruit farmers in the future.
“Lord, don't worry, we won't dare to forget a word you told us.” Part-time hunters, knowing that they will move from farmers to fruit farmers in the future and work with fruit monkeys, are all beautifying.
If it weren't for training, it would be hard to beat a whip - stealing a fruit monkey would be a horse for a fruit farmer, or a knight.
Instead of stealing the fruit monkey, he returned to the castle and sent several merchants from the new serfs to yell at him.
“Old Grande, Sherlock, Abagon, you're all businessmen on Little Papa Island?” Lister asked again.
“Yes, My Lord. ”
“Is there a merchant on Little Papa called Porihickin? ”
Old Grande replied: "My lord, there are only three of us on Little Papa Island who specialize in small merchandise sales, and I can name all the people in the city, but there is no one named Prychkin. ”
“Well, I'm just asking.” Lister Gao glanced at the old Grand Terrace and said to each other, "Everyone in the city can call out their names," demonstrating his remarkability, "I called you here today to form a merchant team belonging to the castle, and I hope to entrust it to the three of you. ”
