Chapter 259： ice cream

The success of the black powder experiment made Narant plan to start using a large amount of saltpeter to make black powder.

Although there is no war in his castle for the time being, such a big killer has always been prepared.

In addition, he also drew a long-handled grenade shape and sent it to the blacksmith shop, and asked John Blacksmith to forge the exact same iron shell according to the drawings.

Of course, because Narant in this grenade shell wants to reserve more, there is no limit to the time limit.

Just leave John Blacksmith free to forge it.

As for the anti-personnel shrapnel inside, this thing is not very demanding, and Narant directly asked John to hand it over to his apprentice to make it.

Now that the two barbarian apprentices have been studying under John for nearly two months, there is no problem in forging small iron particles without any requirements.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, five days have passed since the grenade experiment, and finally came the day of the weekly meteor shower.

After these days of hard work by the people, the harvest of wheat has gradually come to an end, and this season's bumper harvest is doomed.

According to preliminary statistics, in the past, the harvest per mu of arable land was only more than 200 catties of wheat at most, and basically no more than 300 catties, but this time it has more than doubled directly, reaching about 600 catties of mu. Produce.

Although they still need to pay half of the tax, but even after paying the tax, they can get more food than last year's total harvest.

This made every serf who worked the wheat in the storm led into a state of elation.

In this way, the respect of the serfs to Narant can be imagined. Anyone who dares to say that Narant is wrong in the Storm Territory will definitely be drowned by the spittle of the serfs.

In addition to the bumper wheat harvest, the renovation of the manor on the square these days is also in full swing.

Among them, the second manor has been renovated, because Narant once again transferred two masons and two carpenters from the new serfs to Mario, and the decoration of the third manor has also been completed.

Judging from this situation, the seven manors in the front row of the square should be able to complete all the renovations before the arrival of the Count.

Speaking of the craftsmen among the new serfs, I have to say that the Black Iron family really gave Narant a great gift this time.

In addition to Captain Jack, the mason and the carpenter, Narrant checked the population registration manual and found that there was actually a tailor and a jeweler among the new serfs.

Narant has some doubts that the appearance of the Daughter of Doom is also targeted, especially the appearance of the artisan family.

Of course, this is just a joke.

In fact, this is just a deviation of the survivors. The reason why the proportion of artisan families is high is because they have craftsmanship and can support their families.

And those unskilled families are prone to starve to death and freeze to death.

The above is the basic situation of the development of the territory. With Mario and Thomas worrying about it, Narant only needs to check it occasionally. What he really cares about most is the progress of this side quest.

Fortunately, Jack didn't lie, he did know how to repair ships.

Just two days ago, Kenby Cow Dung sent back the news that the ship had been repaired under the leadership of Jack.

It only took three days for this repair. Although there were sufficient manpower, it still made Narant Longyan happy.

He directly rewarded each of the nine people, including Jack and the crew who helped to mend, a brown sugar brown bread!

In the past two days, Jack has been teaching the sailors how to control the sailboat.

I believe that in a few days, Narant's first ship will be able to really go to sea and gallop in the blue ocean.

"What do these words mean, do you remember?"

"Master Steward, these seven words are the respected Lord Lord!"

"That's right, the seven characters of the respected Lord! For example, if you are out of town in the future, if you want to write a letter to report the situation to the Lord, you must first write these seven words in the upper left of the letter, and then you can start reporting."

In the morning, Narant came to the vestibule after breakfast, and saw Thomas using wooden boards and black charcoal to teach servants and ordinary guards such as Quaker to learn writing.

In the beginning, the servants were full of joy and worked very hard to learn writing.

But when the rough guys like Quick, who only know how to kill, learn that they need to learn writing, it is like killing them.

If they didn't know Narant's strict suppression, it is estimated that they would rather go to the forest of fire to find a beast to fight to the death, and they are not willing to learn this word.

According to Quick's own statement, that is: Lord, we kill the enemy, as long as the Lord points, we will kill wherever we want, don't need to learn these words that look like tadpoles!

However, when Narant will learn to write well, and the warhorse may be assigned to them, Quick and others will no longer dare to say a word.

War horse!

That is equivalent to the existence of the supercar in the previous life.

In this world, even if it is an ordinary groceries, for them, it is the existence of Mercedes-Benz and BMW.

And the horse is simply a Lamborghini Porsche.

And I heard my grown-up say that if anyone can't write 100 characters fluently within three months, then the war horse will have no part, and the guards immediately began to study hard according to their heads.

Of course, it is not only Thomas who is in charge of teaching, but also Vivian and Mario occasionally.

After all, they have a lot of work to do, so taking turns teaching will not delay their business.

After looking in the vestibule for a while Narrant went to the stables.

"White Dragon! Breakfast!" Narant took two bundles of licorice and put them into White Dragon's manger.

Bai Long saw that Narant's eyes were twitching, and although the hostility from before was no longer there, there was no such thing as human and beastly affection.

Bai Long just lowered his head silently and ate licorice.

"After a few days, the saddle and your light armor are forged, and I'll take you out of the castle for a walk." Narant didn't care.

Otherwise, the earl family would have used demonic cavalry long ago.

If you want to tame beasts, you have the highest success rate from the beginning of cub training, but the cost is too high.

And Narant has Shirley here, anyway, Fang Chang will always let this guy know how good he is when he comes to Japan.

Especially when the purple alfalfa grass blooms and leaves in the next season, it is estimated that this guy will be reluctant to leave.

"My lord! My lord!"

While Narant was feeding the white dragon, Shirley Little Lolita ran out of breath and came to the stable.

"What's the matter, Xue Li? Is there something wrong with the territory?" Narant was also in shock when she saw the little girl's blushing face. Now the little girl Xue Li has really become his scout.

"Oh! No sir, it's ice cream. My mother said that the ice cream was made. Because the sun is too strong outside, I want you to go back to the inner castle to taste it!"

Narant: ""

Narant immediately rubbed the little Loli's head vigorously.

No wonder she was so anxious, this girl was originally for food, and Narant thought it was a big deal.

This ice cream was made by Narant a few days ago when he told Rose the rough production method and asked her to try it. Anyway, he has ice cream, and he will be able to make it sooner or later.

I didn't expect it to happen so quickly!
