Chapter 27: d
After all, Catherine is also the daughter of the duke, and with her particularity, she represents the duke to a certain extent, and can be said to be the top existence of this group of nobles.
After entering the door, there is a concave counter in the store. Except for the hall, there is a whole row of cabinets inside, and there are guys behind the cabinets.
And there was a table in the middle of the hall, Darlene and Catherine were standing in front of the table at this time, facing the nobles and businessmen who came in, they were going to introduce them first.
"Guys, I will definitely not let you down if I can come to the store this time." Darlene held her skirt, saluted, and beckoned for the waiter to deliver something.
The guys who had been waiting for a long time came up immediately with a tray, and there was a stack of linen in it, or linen of several colors, carefully placed on the table.
"Isn't it just sackcloth? This is what you won't let us down?" A nobleman immediately shouted.
"That's right, we have a lot of sackcloth, hurry up and get out the perfume, don't get some rags to trick us."
"..."
Hearing the booing of the crowd, Darlene reached out and patted Catherine who was about to get angry, shook her head while holding her hand, glanced at the crowd, and said loudly, "Sackcloth, I know that everyone is not short of linen, but it is more expensive than ordinary linen." Linen that is several times softer, I don't think many people own it?"
"I have it, right here..." Darlene reached out to pick up a stack of red linen, shook it away violently, and spread it lightly on the table. This is the best linen that Liu Feng can produce at this stage.
The nobles immediately stretched out their hands to touch the linen cloth, it was very soft and did not feel the rough texture at all, which surprised all the nobles, it was much better than the linen clothes they were wearing.
"How much is the linen? I want it all." A middle-aged man shouted.
"Impossible, my father wants some of this linen." A fat man shouted.
"My lord, the Marquis, come out to buy some fine linen."
"..."
At this moment, the children of the noble family and the housekeepers all started arguing, carrying out the nobles behind them one after another, just to fight for the linen on the table.
"Guests, stop arguing. We still have some linen in stock in this shop, and we guarantee that everyone present can buy it." Darlene said with a smile at the corner of her mouth. The opening scene shocked everyone.
When the nobles heard Darlene's words, they all fell silent. It would be a bit embarrassing to continue arguing. They all looked at Darlene, waiting for her next thing.
Seeing this scene, Darlene nodded in satisfaction, and beckoned to the man to put away the crumpled linen, and brought up a few more trays, which contained paper.
The nobles and the guests looked at the things on the tray curiously. It was a light yellow thing, and none of them knew it.
"Ha Chirp~~"
A nobleman next to him sneezed, and even his nose came out. He wiped his nose with his sleeve, which made the corners of the nobles' eyes twitch.
But this scene gave Darlene an idea, and she quickly changed the explanation plan she had prepared in her mind. Under the curious eyes of everyone, she picked up the tissue on the tray and said, "Guest, you can use this tissue to wipe your nose."
Chapter 0425 special ideas.
Darlene's words made the sniveling noble a little embarrassed, he put down his snot-stained sleeves embarrassingly, staring blankly at the items on the tray.
The nobleman with a runny nose curiously picked up a tissue and squeezed it. It felt very soft. He asked in surprise, "Use this to wipe your nose?"
"Yes, this is an item made by a special process. It can only be produced after twelve processes and one month."
According to the instructions given by Liu Feng, Darlene added her own opinion and said, "This is called paper. Now the paper towel in your hand is a use of paper. It can be used to wipe your nose, wipe your mouth, or even go to the toilet... it's la Shit works too."
"Huh? You can also use shit?" The runny nobleman was astonished. Didn't he scrape it with bamboo or wood chips?
"Of course, paper towels are disposable items, and they can be thrown away after use." Darlene said slowly, thinking of the people present, very few people had toilets at home.
Runny nose nobleman, his nose flowed out again, directly into his mouth, took a tissue to wipe it, sprayed all the nose, the tissue was full of nose, threw the tissue to the ground with his hands, picked up a tissue and wiped it again, Just throw it away, and the whole person is much cleaner.
"Wow! This is very convenient." The runny-nosed nobleman said in amazement, as long as his nose was blown by the cold wind, his nose would often runny, and it was blown by the cold wind when he got off the carriage just now.
He immediately picked up another tissue and said loudly, "I want this tissue."
"This is really useful, I want some too."
"Then why can't I miss my family? My father just thinks that the bamboo slices are too cold and troublesome."
"..."
The nobles are fighting again, and now they are fighting for face. For the nobles, linen and paper towels are a matter of face. If you don't buy them, then other nobles will have them. Doesn't this mean that your nobles have no strength and no financial resources? ?
"Everyone, there are a lot of paper towels, and everyone can buy them." Darlene chuckled, picked up a stack of paper from another tray, and said, "This is also paper, but this kind of paper is relatively hard. In place of parchment writing."
After Darlene finished speaking, she picked up the quill pen prepared in the tray and began to write on the paper, and a line of beautiful words appeared.
"Everyone can try it. The appearance of paper is an epoch-making item. It was invented by a very powerful nobleman." Darlene praised, put down the quill, and held the paper for everyone to see.
"This... this is too unbelievable, it can actually replace the sheepskin roll?"
"Come on, let me give it a try... Ah, this writing is very easy."
"We also want this writing paper, a large carriage."
"Miss Darlene, how much is this paper, my family covers it all."
"..."
The nobles completely quarreled. The paper that could replace the parchment was instantly sought after by everyone, and they all wanted to take a little more share. In other words, they also saw business opportunities in it.
"Everyone, please stop arguing." Darlene raised her hand and shouted, "The purchase of paper shares can be discussed after the end."
"Hahaha... well, we are being rude."
"Miss Darlene, what other Pokémon are there, take them out quickly, I'm so curious."
Now the nobles, without the irony at the beginning, were completely conquered by the linen and paper, any of these two things could support a big nobleman.
Being able to support a big noble means an annual income of nearly gold. The people present are not fools, they are all human beings, and many people have special ideas.
Some people in the crowd had already withdrawn to inform the forces behind him. Even Kun Zhan had pushed aside the crowd and left. He was going to inform the next fourth prince.
Darlene looked at the people who had withdrawn, she knew this would happen, otherwise she would not have let Catherine stand out, just to frighten these people.
She asked the clerk to remove all the paper, and sent someone to bring up canned fish and Youhe Daqu. Her first task is to sell the goods. As for the idea of the item, no, it should be the person with the idea of production technology, she does not need it at all Worried, who told her that she really has no production skills.
"Guests, everyone must have drunk a lot of wine, and some even drank the royal wine in the palace." Darlene glanced at the crowd and said in a high voice, "And my next item is wine, a kind of wine. Wine that is even better than imperial wine, of course, this is what my father said, so please taste it."
"Really? How dare you say it's better than Yujiu?"
"Isn't it fake? Royal wine is already the best wine in the whole kingdom, how can there be any other wine that is better than royal wine?"
Doubts kept ringing up, but Darlene didn't say anything, and let the guys start pouring wine, let these people taste it, and let the facts slap these people in the face.
"Bobobo..."
The buddy opened three bottles of Youhe Daqu in a row, and the rich aroma of the wine wafted out, making all the noisy people shut up. They stared blankly at the ceramic wine bottle, and took a deep breath of air.
"Puff~~" There was a sound like a leak.
"Cough cough cough..."
Many people coughed from choking, and looked around with ugly faces. Which bastard suddenly farted?
The runny-nosed nobleman stuffed his nose with a tissue, his buttocks shook slightly, and there was an indignation on his face, he couldn't help it.
Darlene and Catherine both took a step back, looking at the noisy crowd in front of them with weird faces, and some people have already started to taste it.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
After several nobles drank, they closed their eyes and pouted their mouths, as if they were meditating on something.
"Huh? I can't taste much in one cup. Let me try another cup."
"Indeed, one cup is too little, you should drink a few more cups."
"..."
Under the blank eyes of other people, a few people who tasted the wine at the beginning also drank the second glass. When they were about to take the third glass, the others reacted and immediately went forward to grab the wine.
"Wow! Isn't this wine really delicious? Hiccup... the smell of this wine is so strong, so strong... plop..."
"Damn it, you guys actually drank two glasses of wine."
"This wine is really better than Royal Wine, it's incredible."
Chapter 0426 Is this woman crazy?
Youhe Daqu wine amazed all the nobles and merchants present. The three bottles of wine were quickly snatched out, and even the ceramic wine bottles were taken away.
"..." Darlene's mouth twitched, is this wine really that good?Anyway, she didn't like the taste of wine. Before the nobles competed to buy wine, she said, "If there is good wine, of course there must be good food."
The buddy standing aside, under Darlene's gesture, took a tool to break open the yellow mud on the fish can, and then opened the lid, a strong smell of meat wafted out.
"Guru~~"
Many nobles had their throats throbbing and swallowed, the scent was too slanderous, if they hadn't had a sliver of reason, they might have rushed to grab it.
"Miss Darlene, what kind of delicacy is this fragrance?" A nobleman asked eagerly.
"There are two kinds of delicacy in this ceramic jar." Darlene signaled the waiter to pour the can into the plate, and continued, "One is canned fish, and the other is canned cucumber."
At this time, the buddy also poured three canned fish and three canned cucumbers into the plate. The rich aroma tempted everyone to salivate, and their eyes were fixed on the fish on the plate.
"Guests, please have a taste." Darlene smiled lightly, looking at Catherine with blue eyes, and they were ready to watch the crowd crazily grabbing food.
As soon as Darlene finished speaking, a nobleman immediately picked up the fork prepared by the side, pierced a piece of fish, and put it in his mouth. The delicious and fragrant fish immediately made the nobleman fall in love with it.
"Fish? Is this the same fish I used to eat? How could it be so delicious?"
"Why is there no fishy smell? Is it really delicious?"
"Huh? Is this fruit? There are still fruits in winter? It's sour and very refreshing!"
The nobles immediately fought over, the forks had been abandoned long ago, and they used their hands to grab them. Several plates of fish and cucumbers were snatched away in just a few strokes.
Catherine next to her curled her lips. The appearance of this group of people was a bit embarrassing. When she thought of His Excellency Liu Feng in Saba City, he seemed to have always had a refined and noble temperament.
"Guests, after the introduction of this kind of canned food and wine, everyone go to the counter to buy." Darlene waved her hand and asked people to clean up the messy table and the broken plates on the floor.
"Miss Darlene, if you have anything else, let me introduce it quickly? Should we start selling it first? It's the same when we buy and listen." A nobleman shouted impatiently.
"My guest, please wait a moment." Darlene smiled softly and said slowly, "There is only one last item left, and the official sale will begin after the introduction."
"Oh? Is there only one left? Is it perfume?" The intelligent noble immediately responded.
"Yes." Darlene nodded, and she beckoned for the clerk to bring up the perfume. These actions were all rehearsed in advance, and immediately a clerk put five wooden boxes on the table.
"Is it fake? Perfume is not so easy to make, otherwise there is still only one store selling perfume after so many years."
"Isn't the fourth prince only selling perfume? Could it be that Miss Darlene has cracked the secret of perfume?"
Darlene didn't respond to these words. She opened the fifth-grade perfume, that is, a bottle of 88 silver coins. She pulled out the cork, and when the faint fragrance came out, she expelled the residual smell of canned fish. Go, let the nobles' eyes shine.
"It's really a perfume. This scent smells better and is very mild."
"No way? Does this really have perfume?"
Many nobles looked at the ceramic vial in Darlene's hand in disbelief. They heard that there was perfume before, but in fact, few of them believed it, even the fourth prince didn't take it seriously.
Now, it really scared them. Jesse in the crowd stared blankly at the perfume in Darlene's hand, yelling in her heart that it's not good, she should tell the fourth prince immediately.
"Of all the guests here, there should be quite a few of you who have used perfume." Darlene glanced at everyone with blue eyes, and raised the corner of her mouth, and said, "The perfume here is different from ordinary perfume."
"Huh? Ordinary perfume?" The nobles were taken aback. Is this implying that the perfume sold by the fourth prince is ordinary perfume?
"Everyone knows that after ten days or so, the fragrance of ordinary perfume will mutate. As time goes on, the fragrance will become less and less, and finally emit a stench." Darlene said with a serious face.
She knew that she would offend the fourth prince if she said this, but since she promised to sell the perfume, she was destined to offend the fourth prince. She only hoped that for Catherine's sake, the fourth prince would not use some dirty tricks Well, she has never been afraid of commercial means on the surface.
"..." The people present were silent, many of them looked blank, and some looked at each other in blank dismay. Obviously, many of them didn't know this at all.
"Damn... is this woman crazy? When the fourth prince arrives, we'll see how you end up." Jesse gritted his teeth, and dared to announce the shortcomings of the perfume. This was clearly to cut off the fourth prince's financial resources.
"Does perfume have this shortcoming? No wonder the perfume I bought last time broke after only one use. I thought it was because I didn't store it properly."
"Damn it, I asked before, saying that I didn't preserve it well, so it was a lie, the four princes... um..."
"Do you want to die? Dare to say anything? Do you want to die?"
Many aristocrats who bought perfume felt their teeth itch with hatred. A bottle of perfume that cost a few gold coins only lasted for ten days. Some people used it just once and the perfume stinks.
But thinking that it was the fourth prince, everyone could only secretly hate in their hearts. Recently, the fourth prince has become more active and seems to have started to fight for the throne, which made many nobles dare not offend him.
"Miss Darlene, what's so special about your perfume?" A nobleman asked curiously.
"Of course, the perfume in my hand has a shelf life of up to 180 days." Darlene shook the perfume in her hand and said seriously, "The price is also much cheaper, only 88 silver coins."
"What? Miss Darlene, are you kidding me?" Immediately, a nobleman shouted in disbelief, "How can perfume be so cheap? Only 88 silver coins?"
"And it can be stored for 180 days. Isn't this a lie?"
Chapter 0427 Confrontation.
Darlene looked at the unbelievable expressions on everyone's faces, and she could have guessed that it was like this, after all, she herself also found it unbelievable.
"Of course it's true, I can testify." Catherine said calmly, flicking her long blue hair, "I'm using it now, and I've been using it for many days."
"This..." The nobles were at a loss for words, and no one questioned it. The Duke's daughter is the best credit guarantee. If they tell lies, Catherine's reputation will be completely rotten after today.
"Everyone, I haven't finished my words yet." Darlene glanced at Catherine gratefully, then turned her head and said to everyone, "There are five grades of perfume, and the perfume in my hand is the cheapest grade. Of course, the perfume Catherine uses , is the best first grade, a bottle of perfume worth twelve gold coins, with a shelf life of one year."
"It turns out that 88 silver coins are the lowest grade of perfume."
The nobles suddenly realized that this lowest-grade perfume was already better than the perfume sold by the fourth prince, but everyone would not say it, otherwise it would be troublesome for the fourth prince to bear a grudge.
"There are actually five grades. Miss Darlene's perfume is too much."
"The top-notch perfume actually costs twelve gold coins. If the shelf life is one year, it's totally worth it."
"Yes, the lowest grade of perfume can be guaranteed for 180 days, which is so worth it."
Many nobles appreciated that compared to the perfume of the fourth prince, this is a super-conscience perfume. Many people are eager to buy a few bottles of perfume to cover the smell on their bodies.
Aristocrats who seldom bathe in summer, let alone winter, smell very bad after a few months, and now urgently need a bottle of perfume to suppress the smell.
"Miss Darlene, how many gold coins do you need for other grades of perfume?" A nobleman asked.
"The first rank is twelve gold coins, the second rank is eight gold coins, the third rank is four gold coins, the fourth rank is one gold coin, and the final fifth rank is 88 silver coins." Darlene said slowly. Slowly, as for Supreme's bottle of perfume, she doesn't think it needs to be taken out yet.
"Miss Darlene, what's the difference between each grade of perfume?" A nobleman asked doubtfully.
"The difference is the intensity of the aroma. The higher the grade, the more fragrant the aroma." Darlene said softly.
She opened the first-grade wooden box and took out a pure white ceramic bottle from it. After pulling out the cork, a rich aroma came out.
"This... I bought it, I definitely want to buy it."
"Buy buy buy, just buy the first grade."
The nobles went crazy, they all untied their purses and shouted to buy perfume, as if they didn't want money, which made the smile on Darlene's face widen.
"Guests, please move to the counter to buy goods." Darlene beckoned the waiter to move the table away, and led Catherine aside.
"Ta Tata..."
Nobles and merchants rushed to the counter, yelling one after another, and went to foreign stores to scan goods with the aunts on the other side of the earth.
"Hurry up, I want three bottles of the first-grade perfume, and ten bottles of the second-grade perfume..."
"Twenty cans of canned fish, twenty cans of canned cucumber, and five bottles of third-grade perfume."
"Youhe Daqu Wine, bring me twenty bottles, ten bolts of linen, and a carriage of paper towels..."
Shouts like this kept ringing out, and many of them didn't even ask the price, for fear that they would be snatched up if they said something slowly.
"..."
Three hours later, that is, at noon, the goods in the shop were swept away, leaving only a few boxes full of coins.
This was completely beyond Darlene's expectation. She stared blankly at the messy shop and the tired guys, with her mouth slightly open, not knowing what to say.
"Dalena, that's great, all the goods are sold out." Catherine shouted excitedly, she knew that His Excellency Liu Feng's goods would be very popular.
"This..." Darlene sighed, and said helplessly, "It's okay or not."
It was only the first day of opening the store, and all the prepared goods were sold out, which is definitely not good for the future development. Although she still has some stock, she probably won't be able to last for a few days.
What she is most afraid of is that someone will take her goods and resell them. This is what worries her, and the impact is not very good.
"Ta Tata..."
At this time, there were footsteps outside the door, followed by a cold male voice, "It seems that Miss Darlene's business is doing quite well."
Darlene turned her head to look over, her blue eyes narrowed slightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, Fourth Prince."
She didn't expect the fourth prince Ding Keda to come to the door in person, and now she understood that the matter was not easy to solve.
"Your Highness, Fourth Prince, why are you here?" Catherine frowned. She didn't like the smiling look of the chunky man in front of her, but she fully understood when she saw Kunzhan and Jesse behind her.
"Didn't I hear that there is a perfume? Come and take a look if you are curious." The fourth prince Ding Keda squinted his eyes and looked around, calmly said, "It seems that I am a step late? The perfume is sold out?"
"Yes, it's sold out." Catherine took a step forward, blocking Darlene behind her. The four princes clearly came with bad intentions.
"Yeah." The fourth prince nodded and glanced at Catherine, his eyes flashed a gloomy look. The Duke seemed to support the eldest prince a little bit, which made him feel unhappy, and he didn't even like Catherine as much as before.
"Miss Darlene, can you hand over the perfume producer?" The fourth prince looked at Darlene with a dark face, and said indifferently, "I just researched the method of making new perfume, but I didn't expect a traitor to make the new perfume. Perfume-making methods have stolen it."
"What?" Catherine stared at the fourth prince in disbelief with her golden eyes wide open, and she could say such shameless words.
"..." Darlene pursed her lips. The matter was beyond her imagination. The fourth prince seemed to be shameless, and he didn't care about the feelings of Catherine's father, the Duke, and planned to take it by force.
Just when the fourth prince Ding Keda was about to go further to persecute Darlena, a soft female voice came from outside the door, "Brother Fourth Prince, why are you here?"
"..." The fourth prince held back what he was about to say, with a hypocritical smile on his face, turned his head to look outside the door, and said with a slight smile, "I didn't expect little sister Lucy to come too, are you here to buy perfume?"
"Yes, I stopped by to see how Darlene's shop is doing." Princess Lucy looked at the fourth prince quietly with a soft smile on her face.
She came to cheer Darlene. In fact, she had already asked Jones to pay attention to the fourth prince. After Darlene gave her a bottle of perfume yesterday, she knew something would happen today.
"Unfortunately, the perfume is sold out, so I'll be leaving first." The fourth prince glanced at Darlene indifferently, knowing that he couldn't do anything today.
When he passed by Princess Lucy, he left a sentence, "Some things, it's better not to interfere, this is a warning from Brother Four."
"Maybe." Princess Lucy smiled lightly, reaching out to hold Jones beside her. As long as her father was still around, no one would dare to do anything to her.
Chapter 0428 The Mint.
Compared with the scheming king's capital, the remote place of Saba City is still so peaceful.
Some civilians have begun to take out their farm tools for repairs, and even civilians have been grinding stone tools throughout the winter, which is used to make farm tools.After all, spring is not far away, and many civilians are already preparing for spring planting.
In the study, Liu Feng was sitting at the desk, flipping through the report in his hand, which showed the financial flow of Saba City.The gold coins he brought back from Tengying City have largely alleviated the financial crisis in Saba City.
"Huh? Are there so many people depositing coins in the bank now?" Liu Feng was very surprised when he looked at the bank's deposit report.
Nicole, who was processing the financial statements with her head down, raised her head and said with a chuckle, "Master, there are too many civilian coins in Saba City now, and I feel that it is not safe to keep them at home. They will all be deposited in the bank."
She has been dealing with the financial situation of Saba City these days. She has carefully checked several stores and learned about the specific consumption situation of the common people in Saba City.
"Oh? Are you willing to deposit the coins in the bank? This is a good thing." Liu Feng's mouth slightly raised.
In fact, if he had started earlier, he would not have to go to Tengying City to participate in the auction at all.The money in the bank means that Liu Feng can mobilize more coins. In fact, there is room for movement, but the shortage of funds cannot be delayed for too long.
"Hee hee... It's all thanks to Annie, Viya, and Teess. It was they who took the lead in depositing coins in the bank, which led some people to also deposit coins." Nicole chuckled softly. road.She glanced at the fox ear girl who was dozing off, it was too late last night to play around, and she was sleepy this morning.
"That's it." Liu Feng nodded, looking at the names on the top of the bank report.The first one was Enri, and the next ones were people they knew, like Tori, Ryan, Buff, and Sink.
The total number of people is more than 500 people. Compared with Saba City, which has about people, this number is very small.But those who can deposit coins into the bank have money to spare, and the bank also serves these people.
Regarding the money bank, Liu Feng is also in the plan. He also wants to promote the bank to other cities. At least the cities near Saba City should have a bank, and then promote the steel coins.
But now there are two difficulties. One is the opening of banks. No city will allow a business of storing coins to appear.No, those nobles didn't allow it, they wanted to keep the coins in their treasury.
In fact, this point can be solved slowly, such as through negotiation, or directly using economic invasion to control the fate of coins, so that those nobles dare not act rashly.
In other words, to lure those nobles to also deposit coins in coins, this will initially grasp the flow of the economy, and Liu Feng is already invincible innately.
The second difficulty lies in the casting of steel coins. The steel coins issued by Liu Feng are very exquisite, and with the ability of this era, they cannot be mass-produced at all.Even if it is mass-produced, the cost price is several times more expensive than the production of steel coins.In this case, it would be better to produce copper coins.
The reason for the production of steel coins is to stimulate consumption, so that many things that cannot be bought can be disassembled and bought to promote the flow of coins.
The only place where steel coins can be produced is Liu Feng's mint, which is a truly top-secret place, where all the staff live and eat.
The steel coins minted by the mint are the stamping machines brought by Liu Feng from the earth. They are the kind of external force stamping machines. A steel coin template.
"Nicole, how many parts of the stamping machine in the mint are broken?" Liu Feng turned his head and asked.
There are only five people who know this mint, and Nicole is one of them, and she is mainly responsible for communication.
"Master, about 100 pieces are broken, and there are more than 30 left in stock." Nicole said in a low voice.
"What about the amount of steel coins minted?" Liu Feng frowned. He had to go to the earth to transport another batch of parts, and the stamping force was too worn.
"There are more than 3 steel coins." Nicole said softly. Now there are only three people at the desk, plus a bear.
"No, it's still too little." Liu Feng shook his head, this amount is really too little, not enough for Saba City to digest by itself.
"Master, do you want to add another stamping machine?" Nicole suggested, she knew part of the master's plan, and the current minting speed would not be able to keep up with the progress.
"Okay, you can choose people, and you need people with clear details." Liu Feng paused, and said in a deep voice, "The number of people has increased, and we need five groups of people."
He will go back to Earth tonight to place an order and buy five stamping machines. Although they are all powered by animals, as long as they survive the winter, they will be driven by water power, and the coinage speed will increase several times.
"Yes." Nicole nodded earnestly. She needed to discuss this with Mina, who was also one of the people who knew about the Mint.
"Nicole, pick a few clever girls in the castle, and start teaching them how to print and typesetting. When the time comes, there will be a bank in Heishui City, and people will be needed to go to work." Liu Feng said slowly.
There are currently two places in his mind to open a bank, one is Beifeng City and the other is Heishui City.
North Wind City will not be mentioned for the time being, but Black Water City is the most suitable, because being poor is the easiest way to accept new things, and when the time comes, he will pay the salary and the like directly to the bank.
"Yes." Nicole nodded and wrote it down in a notepad, recalling which girl was more honest and which one was more clever.
"Anli..." Liu Feng turned his head and saw Fox Erniang dozing off on the table, drooling, shaking his head amusedly, and then said to Nicole, "Let Niu Da pick five veterans out , teach them the safety rules of the bank, and they will go to Heishui City together when the time comes."
"Okay." Nicole smiled.
"Really, you'll catch a cold if you sleep on your stomach." Liu Feng said pettishly, got up and pulled off the military overcoat hanging on the side, and covered it on Hu Erniang's body.
He looked down at Fox Er Niang wrinkled her nose slightly, smacked her mouth, and fell asleep soundly. It must have been too late to play cards last night.
"I should have taught her new ways of playing poker if I knew it earlier." Liu Feng smiled wryly. Last night, he also played turtle-drawing with the beast-eared lady on a whim.
Chapter 0429 other lovers?
Three days later, Saba City, the Scientific Research Department.
Today Anli brought Nicole, Avery, Weiya, and Teess to the scientific research department.The four of them were all here to ride a hot air balloon, none of them had ever been in a hot air balloon, but Annie had other things to do.
"Teess, let's continue to draw turtles tonight. I must draw five turtles on your face." Enri yelled as she walked.
Since Liu Feng taught the animal-ear girls to play the card game of drawing turtles, these nights, the beast-ear girls have gathered to play turtle-drawing. Whoever draws a turtle must draw a turtle on his face.
And Hu Erniang lost to Niujiaoniang a few times, which made her very unwilling. Since she is so smart, why does she keep losing to the upright Niujiaoniang?
Could it be that Di Si was really favored by the goddess of luck, or would Di Si win every time she played a game with a lot of luck?
"Enli, that's impossible, it'll never be possible." With a smirk on the corner of Teess' mouth, she teased, "The most time you ever did, you only drew three turtles on my face."
"You..." Annie stared at her brown eyes, pouted her lips, and said angrily, "Next time, I can definitely draw five turtles."
"Then you must have fifteen turtles on your face." Tees raised her head and said proudly.Playing turtle poker, she was never afraid of anyone, even the young master was drawn by her as three turtles.
"Impossible, you can only paint seven turtles on my face at most, fifteen turtles is simply impossible." En Li shook her long brown hair, and said disdainfully, "Don't think that you have always had such good luck."
"Then go back, how about we just draw three turtles if we lose the game?" Diss raised her eyebrows, and brought her face closer to Annie.
"No, no...don't get so close!" Annie pouted, pressing her small hand on Diss' face.
Nicole and Viya, who were walking beside them, looked at the bickering fox-eared girl and cow-horned girl with smiles on their lips. Every time Annie was there, the atmosphere would never be colder, and the joy would be the most.
Avery opened her mouth to advise Enli not to play with Tees, or she would only lose more. In this turtle game, Teese is at the king level.
"Nicole, do you know what a hot air balloon looks like?" Viya asked curiously. She asked Anli and Mina, but neither of them could tell clearly. Charcoal can go to sky.
"I don't know, the young master is very strict, I didn't ask anything." Nicole shook her head helplessly.
"Nicole, do you want to go to the hot air balloon after finishing your work?" Viya asked, the reason why they came together today is that Nicole and Annie happened to have work to come to the scientific research department, so they came here together .
"I'm going to the food workshop to take a look at the development of instant noodles. You can go to the hot air balloon with Diss first." Nicole said, pulling the long flaxen hair hanging from her forehead behind her ears.
"Instant noodles?" Diss heard her favorite food at the tips of her ears, her purple eyes sparkled, and she ran to Nicole without arguing with Fox Erniang, and shouted, "Nicole, Nicole, can I go to see instant noodles together production?"
"Ah?" Nicole was stunned for a moment, looked at the eager-eyed Niujiao Niang, and said with a light smile, "Okay, if you want to see it, let's go together."
"Then I'll go too." Viya said softly. She was also very curious about instant noodles. Although she had eaten them in the castle, she didn't know how they got here.
"Then let's go together." Nicole nodded, not in a hurry to take a hot air balloon or something.
"..."
Soon the five people came to a cross road. The roads in the scientific research department are very complicated, each research institute is separated, and the roads criss-cross.
At the intersection, Enli said to the three of Nicole, "Then let's part here, we are going to the farm workshop."
"Okay." Nicole nodded, and she took the horned girl and the rabbit-eared girl to the other side. The research institute in the food workshop is in the opposite direction from the agricultural workshop.
"Avery, let's go." Enli said to the wolf-eared lady, and she took the lead to walk to the other side.
Her job today is to check on the production progress of farm tools in the farm workshop. Spring is getting closer, and farm tools are the most important thing in land reclamation, so she has to come and keep an eye on them.
On top of that, a farming implement that quickly sows seeds was produced.Liu Feng is going to inspect the situation of the elf sniper team, so I leave this matter to her, or let's test it, so as to determine whether to mass-produce it.
"Your Highness, do you really plan to stay in Saba City forever?" Avery asked suddenly, her orange eyes a little nervous.
"..." Annie was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you asking this question all of a sudden?"
"This..." Avery pursed her lips and lowered her head. She also noticed something was wrong recently. Her Royal Highness, the Princess, seems to have fallen in love with Lord Liu Feng.
"Tell me, you're still hesitating with me." Annie yawned, she hadn't slept a bit recently.
"Your Highness, have you fallen in love with Lord Liu Feng?" Avery asked directly.
"Uh..." Annie staggered when she heard this, and almost fell to the ground, her cheeks were flushed, she stared at the wolf-eared lady, and said angrily, "Avery, why are you asking such a question?"
"Your Highness, it seems that I really like Lord Liu Feng." Seeing Annie's expression, Avery nodded affirmatively, and her orange eyes shone with a strange light.
"Stop!" Enli grabbed the wolf-eared girl's armor with both hands, stared at her with brown eyes, and asked seriously, "Avery, what do you want to do?"
She felt something was wrong, Lady Lang Er was not like this usually, or she would not gossip like this.
"I'm going to discuss with Master Liu Feng and ask him when he will marry you and make you his wife." Avery said with a serious face.
She found that Her Royal Highness the Princess no longer wanted to leave Saba City, so it was time to think about lifelong affairs.And the only person in Saba City who is worthy of Her Highness the Princess is Lord Liu Feng.
But Avery found out that there are still a few people in the castle who are interested in Lord Liu Feng, how can this be done?Her Royal Highness is a majestic princess. When she gets married, she must become a legal wife, so she must act first.
"Stop... Avery, what nonsense are you talking about?" Enli yelled, her fox tail puffed up in anger, "Am I the kind of person who can't get married?"
"Huh? Could it be that Her Royal Highness has someone else in mind?" Avery was taken aback, looking at the fox-eared lady cutely.
Chapter 0430 animal power seed drill: columbine car.
"Huh?? What nonsense are you talking about?" Enli looked at Avery in a daze. How did this wolf-eared girl think that she had someone else she liked?What kind of magical brain circuit is this?
"Your Highness, you are not young anymore, in a few years..." Avery said worriedly, flicking her wolf's tail.
"Shut up, don't talk about this topic again." Annie's face flushed with anger, she stared at her brown eyes, and said angrily, "I won't grow old in a few years."
The fox-eared lady flicked her long brown hair, and walked forward. She was afraid that if she heard Avery continue, she would be attacked and bitten. She was worried that everything would be fine, and she actually wanted to urge her to marry.
Besides, the young master has kept her waiting for a few years, and he will give her an explanation, isn't it just a few years, she can afford to wait.
"Uh..." Avery looked at Annie who was walking away, sighed, and muttered in a low voice, "Your Highness, you have too many competitors. If you continue like this, you will not be able to be a regular wife."
The nobles in this era are divided into concubines and wives. The wife is the main wife, and is often the mother of the family. The treatment and so on are much better than partial concubines.
This is what Avery worries about Anli. If a dignified princess can't become a wife, she will be laughed at by the whole world. She may not care, but she has to think about Her Royal Highness.
"Hey!" Avery sighed again. She felt that she couldn't persuade Her Royal Highness now. If she really got married, she only hoped that Princess Elsa would not know.
Princess Elsa attaches great importance to the glory of the Brutus Beastkin kingdom. If she finds out that Her Royal Highness Princess Anli is marrying a little baron of the tribe, she will be upset and angry.
Avery trotted to catch up with Anli, and followed quietly, thinking about the matter. She was still thinking about whether to mention this matter to Lord Liu Feng. If Her Royal Highness married Lord Liu Feng, she would definitely not be able to leave. In the future, she will also stay by the side of Her Royal Highness and serve her left and right.
Could it be?I want to be Mrs. Liu Feng's concubine?This is impossible, right?Robbing a man from Her Royal Highness?
"..." Avery became more and more crooked as she thought about it, her cold cheeks were slowly turning red, and she was crooked in an indecent direction, this was the first time she had such an idea.
"Avery, what's wrong with you today? Are you sick? Do you want the young master to give you an injection?" Annie frowned, looking suspiciously at the red-cheeked wolf-eared lady.
"Ah?" Avery shuddered, shook her head, shook off the strange thoughts, returned to her calm appearance, and immediately responded, "Your Highness, I am not sick, and I don't need an injection."
"Really? Next time I ask these strange questions again, I'll ask the young master to give you an injection." Annie rolled her eyes and said angrily, "You worry about my affairs, you should worry about yourself first."
"Me?" Avery shook off her wolf ears, and looked at the fox-eared lady cutely, why did she mention her?
"Avery, are you older than me?" Annie smirked and teased, "Do you want to marry the young master first?"
"Ah?" Avery opened her mouth wide and stared blankly at the smiling Highness Princess, then frowned and thought about it, and said seriously, "I have no problem marrying Mrs. Liu Feng, as long as it is your Highness Princess' request. "
"Cough cough cough... that, let's talk about it later." Annie coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, she was speechless to Avery, she really wanted to marry the young master.
"Your Highness, I will follow you wherever you go." Avery said with a serious face.
"I see." Annie slightly raised the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "Avery, don't worry, the young master will take care of everything."
"..." Avery was slightly stunned, thinking of Master Liu Feng's way of handling things, she nodded slightly.
Liu Feng is one of the two most perfect nobles she has ever seen. The other is Her Royal Highness Princess Elsa. The two have many similarities.
"Here we are, the farm workshop." Annie looked at the yard in front of her. There were four soldiers guarding outside. Compared with the defense of the military workshop, there were far fewer soldiers.
Hu Erniang went forward and showed the soldier the order, and then entered the farm workshop, and met the manager and researchers of the farm workshop.
"Miss Anli." The manager said respectfully. Everyone in the scientific research department knew that Anli, Mina and Nicole were the spokespersons of the city lord.
"How many farm tools are there?" Annie asked indifferently as she walked towards the Agricultural Research Institute inside the farm workshop.
The manager immediately followed up and reported, "Miss Annie, I'm already working hard to make farm tools, five hundred hoes, five hundred rakes, four hundred shovels..."
"Well, in the spring of next year, there should be at least a thousand of each kind of farm tools." Annie said seriously.
"Yes." The manager said respectfully.
"Where is the new farm tool? Take me to see it." Annie said slowly, the most important thing today is the new farm tool.
"Yes, please follow me." The manager immediately led the way. If the production of new farm tools is approved, they will have many rewards.
Soon, Anli and Avery came to the inner courtyard. There was a piece of land inside, which was specially reserved for the test of farm tools. When the two arrived, the new farm tools were being tested.
"Huh? Is this the new farm tool?" Annie looked at the wooden farm tool being dragged forward by the horse in amazement.
"Yes, this is the planter." The manager said seriously.
The planter he mentioned is the columbine cart in ancient times on the earth, and the animal-powered seed drill that appeared in the ancient Han Dynasty is the crystallization of wisdom of ancient people, but it was completely abandoned and forgotten in later dynasties.
The columbine cart is pulled forward by a horse or an ox, and only one person is required to operate it, which is ten times faster than manual sowing. In this era, the comparison is more than ten times faster.
For the sake of convenience and easy to remember, Liu Feng directly named it the planter. It is a farm tool that Liu Feng asked people to study and make from the beginning. It is another great agricultural weapon after Quyuanli.
"How is the test of this planter? Can it be used well?" Enli asked, staring at the planter with her brown eyes, "Is there any problem in operation?"
"There are some flaws, and some key parts need to be made of steel." The manager immediately replied that this was a question he had prepared in advance.
"Immediately improve and produce planters to prepare for the land reclamation next year." Annie ordered with a serious face.
"Yes." The manager replied respectfully.
Chapter 0431 The development of the alien version of instant noodles.
Liu Feng was not worried about the research on the planter at all. He gave the blueprint and the working principle, which can be manufactured by the ancient Han Dynasty on the earth. Replaced as a manager.
"By the way, there's this." Annie took out a document from her backpack and handed it to the manager. "This is the large planter that the young master arranged to develop. Please start developing it immediately."
"Yes." The manager took the file, opened it and looked through it, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Tell me, what's the problem?" Annie raised her eyebrows.
"Miss Anli, such a large planter requires at least four horses to pull it. The speed will definitely not be fast. Compared with the current planter, it will not be much faster." The manager quickly said Find the difficulty of the design.
"That's it." Annie understood it, and smiled lightly, "Young master said, don't worry about the power, this is not a planter for horse-drawn horses, you can develop it according to this."
"Understood." The manager said respectfully, since there is another way to drive the big planter, he can develop it with confidence.
"Let's go and see how the farm tools are made." Annie was about to go to make an inspection, and she didn't feel relieved until she saw it with her own eyes.
"Yes, please follow me." The manager led the way.
Anli and Avery followed the manager to patrol, and she corrected all dangerous behaviors that might cause fires. This is also what Liu Feng values. Fire is the biggest destroyer of work.
Afterwards, Anli and Avery left the farm workshop and were going to find Nicole in the food workshop. The two were also very curious about the research and development of instant noodles.
The two soon came to the courtyard of the food workshop, and there were also four soldiers at the door.Annie could get in just by brushing her face, as long as it wasn't those workshops with important secrets.Anli, Nicole, and Mina can all enter by swiping their faces.
Especially Annie, who often comes out to inspect, 50.00% of the workshops and research institutes in the scientific research department can enter and exit at will.
"Nicole, can I eat?"
Annie just arrived at the gate when she heard Niujiaoniang's voice, she couldn't help rolling her eyes, and said helplessly, "Only the young master can afford to support her as a foodie."
"..." Avery was speechless, what Her Royal Highness said was the truth, she was a little suspicious that Bella released Tiss because she couldn't afford Tissy.
"Hurry up, just add some dehydrated vegetables." Nicole's voice sounded slowly.
"It smells so good." Annie shook her nose, and hurriedly ran towards the direction of the scent, followed closely by Avery.
After entering the gate, she turned two or three doors and came to a workshop. The fox-eared lady saw seven or eight people surrounded in front of her. The tall rabbit-eared lady was very conspicuous, especially the pair of long ears.
"Anli, Avery, you are here just in time, there are noodles to eat." Viya waved her hand and shouted, she turned her head just in time to catch a glimpse of the two of them.
"Okay." Annie responded, and came to Nicole's side, looking at the dozen or so packs of instant noodles on the table, some of which were already soaking.
"Come on, how is your work?" Nicole asked softly, she was still adjusting the fuel pack.
"It's going well, just wait for the spring next year." Annie replied casually, her brown eyes fixed on the plate of instant noodles being brewed.
"That's good, the young master attaches great importance to the beginning of spring next year, and I've been a little too busy recently." Nicole said with emotion.
In the past few days, the young master has been out of the castle every day, patrolling the territory, and even took a boat to the opposite side of the Youshui River. He heard that he was going to design some kind of bridge pile.
"Annie, it's mine, so don't read it." Diss covered her face with her palm, and said proudly, "I'm Nicole's taster today, and these instant noodles are mine."
"Uh..." Annie licked the corners of her lips, curled her lips and said, "Yes, yes, it's all yours, big eater."
She seriously doubted the nutrition of the food that Niujiaoniang ate, all of which had grown to her chest, otherwise how could she eat so much, one person could eat as much as two Beastkin.
"Yes, wait a little longer." Nicole reconciled casually, her gray eyes fixed on the instant noodles on the plate, and she was testing the time for soaking the noodles in hot water.
Since the young master taught her how to make instant noodles, she has researched many styles of instant noodles, but many of them have failed, and now she is testing the remaining types of instant noodles.
The production of instant noodles is all manual production. If some steps can be saved, they will be omitted to reduce the production time. Nicole is now streamlining the steps, such as manual kneading. She came up with a method of pressing with bamboo sticks. Large dough can be kneaded at one time.
The way of pulling noodles has also been changed, and it has been made into the way of squeezing noodles. This is the idea given by Liu Feng, which is to use a cylinder with small round holes in it, put the dough in and squeeze it with wood, and then you can make long noodles. Long noodles.
Afterwards, there are other methods such as frying and drying. The production line is already being prepared, and everything has been selected manually. The instant noodle production method is waiting for the final test.
"Okay, let's have a taste of these three instant noodles, which one is more delicious?" Nicole felt that the instant noodles were cooked, and hurriedly pushed three plates of instant noodles in front of Niujiaoniang.
"Okay." Di Si's eyes sparkled, she picked up the instant noodles and started to eat.
"Oh, Tees, don't just eat one, try the other two." Nicole scolded, and handed over a glass of warm water.
"Oh..." Tees was stunned for a moment, took the warm water and drank it all, picked up the second plate and ate it, followed by the third plate.
"How about it? Which one is better?" Nicole asked expectantly.
These three plates of instant noodles are all made in a very simple way, with very few seasonings. They can be regarded as a simple version of instant noodles from another world.
"The first plate is more delicious, very fragrant, and has a little bit of minced meat." Diss quickly commented.
"Oil residue?" Nicole nodded, she decided to produce the first plate of instant noodles.
In the first plate of instant noodles, there is oil residue, which is the residue of meat fat left after frying out the oil.Then put in the seasoning for secondary production, compress it into small pieces with stones, and it becomes seasoning.
"Everyone, let's brew it, the method of making instant noodles has been determined." Nicole shouted.
"Yeah! I want to eat ten bowls."
"Leave me a bowl."
Chapter 0432 sniper training.
Outside Saba City, in a hidden valley near the Forbidden Mountains, this is the place where the elf sniper team lives and trains.
There are too many small valleys like this in the Forbidden Mountains. There are hundreds of small valleys found near Saba City, and the distance ranges from half an hour to a few days.
The few hidden valleys closest to Saba City were all banned by Liu Feng, that is to say, some areas under military control, such as the valley where the wolf team trained daily, and the valley where the elf team trained this time, were all blocked.
"Master, do you want to teach them to train yourself?" Mina was wearing leather armor, with two sabers in her hands, and her blue eyes were sharply scanning her surroundings.
"You have to take a look to rest assured." Liu Feng slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said calmly, "They will be needed for some special tasks in the future."
"Special missions? Master, I can also do missions." Mina's cat ears flicked, her earnest appearance was very cute.
"You have a mission now."
Liu Feng glanced at the wolf warriors walking around, and said with a light smile, "Find some Beastkin and form a special team to guard the castle and protect Nicole, Anli, and Viya."
The safety of the beast-eared girls has always been his concern. The appearance of the fangs a few days ago, with Fleur's idea in mind, made him know that he couldn't procrastinate any longer.
"Ah?" Mina was stunned, training an Beastkin team by herself?
"Look for Avery to help you. She's been busy recently. Find someone and let her train." Liu Feng's black eyes flashed a smile. Find something to do.
"Yes." Mina was visibly relieved, she just needed to find some Beastkin, and leave the training to Avery.
As for the candidates, she has to choose carefully, preferably all female Beastkin. She is thinking which Beastkin race in Saba City is more capable.
"It's equivalent to a knight. It doesn't need any assassination ability. It's mainly used for protection." Liu Feng reminded that for assassination teams, he already has a wolf team and an elf team.
"Understood." Mina nodded, and several races flashed in her mind, such as bear Beastkin, bull Beastkin, and so on. This one needs to be sorted out slowly after going back.
"My lord, the valley where the elf sniper team is in front of you." Xin Ke trotted over to report that only elves, Mina, and some transport personnel had entered this valley.
"Let's go in and have a look." Liu Feng stepped into the valley and saw several wooden houses under construction in the open space.
"Master, Eliza and the others are training in the innermost part of the valley." Mina pointed to a path in the valley, which leads to the depths of the valley, which is a natural training ground.
"Go in." Liu Feng patted Maoer Niang's buttocks and asked her to lead the way.
"Ah!" Mina exclaimed, rolled her eyes shyly, and led the way with her hips twisted.
"Shoot, go faster, the winding speed is too slow." Before Liu Feng and his party entered the valley, they heard Eliza's urging voice.
Liu Feng frowned. He could tell from the sound that the archery training of the sniper team was crooked. When he stepped into the valley, he saw Eliza and the others shooting targets.
"Huh? Lord City Master." Hearing the sound of footsteps, Eliza turned her head to look at Liu Feng and his party in astonishment.
"Stop this kind of training." Liu Feng said helplessly, it seems that even the archery training is nothing new.
"Yes." Eliza immediately stopped the elves, lined up to look at Liu Feng, and waited quietly for his call.
"Have you achieved % hits in your target archery training?" Liu Feng asked calmly.
"Yes." Eliza shouted immediately, they were training their archery speed just now.
"So, have you ever tried to shoot a moving target? Have you ever tried the training of putting buns on people's heads and shooting buns? Have you tried shooting from extreme distances?" Liu Feng talked about several trainings, but all he got was shaking his head.
"My lord, I will arrange their training immediately." Eliza shouted hastily.
"Stop first." Liu Feng stopped Elisa and asked, "How about the disguise training?"
"It's all done." Eliza said with her mouth raised. It's really not difficult for the elves to pretend.
"Oh? So fast?" Liu Feng was surprised. He turned his head to look at Mina, and what he saw was a dazed face. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Eliza, and said, "Then show me, the dry place outside the valley. In the woods, I'll give you 10 minutes, get ready to start."
"Yes." Eliza shouted loudly, telling the elves to bring all their equipment and run out of the valley immediately.
Mina quietly watched Elisa and the others leave, then turned her head and whispered to Liu Feng, "Master, I didn't expect their progress to be so fast."
She was the one who trained on the first day, and then she was busy with the establishment of the letter express, but she paid little attention to the training of the elves.
"We'll make a conclusion after seeing the results." Liu Feng shook his head and said, he hoped that the elves could camouflage well so that they could quickly form combat power.
He estimated that Darlene, who had returned to the capital, should be selling the goods she brought over by now. I believe someone has already paid attention to Saba City.
"Master City Master, do you want to set up camp?" Sink asked from the side.
"No need, go to the Youshui River to have a look after the inspection." Liu Feng waved his hand, the wasteland across the Youshui River is the best farmland.
Then, building a bridge on the Youshui River will be on the agenda. We can't always use boats to transport it. In the future, the grain harvest will be too slow. After all, the number of boats is limited.
With the current technology and steel output, there is no need to think about building a steel bridge. You can only choose a location with gentle water potential and try to build a pontoon bridge.
Chapter 0433 The elves who are confused.
Two 10 minutes later.
"Master, it's time." Mina said softly, putting the watch back into her pocket.
"Let's go, go out and take a look at their disguise." Liu Feng stomped his feet, and after standing for a short time, his feet were numb from the cold.
He kind of misses the days when spring comes. Many things are inconvenient this winter. Fortunately, the end of winter is not far away.
A group of people walked out of the valley, Liu Feng pointed to the wooden house in the valley, and said to Mina, "Go back and tell Nicole to ask someone to bring more warm things."
"Okay." Mina nodded.
"Ta Tata..."
Liu Feng came out of the valley, walked towards the dry forest, his eyes scanned around, his brows could not help frowning, and he walked towards a snowdrift.
"Come out." Liu Feng looked down at the snowdrift with dead leaves in front of him, and said, "You have been exposed."
"Uh..."
Sure enough, an elf crawled up from the snowdrift. She was wrapped in a long animal skin robe, only showing a pair of eyes. At this time, she looked at Liu Feng with a bewildered expression. She didn't know where she was exposed.
"There are dead leaves on such a thick snowdrift?" Liu Feng glanced at the leaves beside him, and said slowly, "Isn't this telling others that you have something abnormal here?"
"Ah?" The elf was stunned, and lowered his head in shame.
"Hiding in the snowdrift, you can use a few dead branches to breathe, as long as the gap between the dead branches and the snow is larger." Liu Feng taught lightly.
"Yes." The elf said respectfully.
