People are building infrastructure in another world

Chapter 95 Sweet Potato Auction Prelude
Aurora's bakery reopened, and the business was even hotter than before. The items were more expensive, but there were no fewer people.

The supply of sweet drinks is in short supply, and before dawn, there are people queuing up with small benches.Desserts have become a favorite of the nobles, and the cakes are said to be made with special techniques, which are as light as eating clouds. Although they don't know what clouds taste like, the cream melts in the mouth, and it is sweet and smooth, which is acceptable to adults and children very high.

The old man also likes the egg tarts and tiger skin rolls very much. You don't need to have a good tooth to taste the sweetness like never before. Who doesn't love it?

If there is no limit to purchase per person, the store can be swept away within two hours of opening.

Another thing that is very attractive is the limited supply of brandy. The taste of brandy is loved by men.The brandy produced by Beichen has a very prominent fruity and floral aroma.The wine is very light and full-bodied, with strong honey and sweet orange flavors in the mouth. Even many women who don't like wine will drink it with young couples.

But the price of this little thing is very expensive, it is a relatively high alcohol content, and the purchase is limited and only ten bottles are sold per day.

Now the black market in the imperial capital has raised its price to [-] gold, but there is no market for it, just like fur turtle silk cloth, money is hard to find.

The rich and powerful may not be able to get it, not to mention that Aurora's bakery does not distinguish between high and low, as long as you have money, you can buy it.

Of course, except Mrs. Garner, as long as she informs, the people in the store are still willing to keep a few bottles for her every month.

Because of the special treatment, Mrs. Garner's status in the imperial capital has been elevated by more than a little.

Now if ladies want to go to the second floor of Aurora's bakery, they will go to Mrs. Yogana.

In order to compete for the right to invite, they almost trampled on the threshold of Mrs. Garner's house.

Mrs. Garner is not too annoying, and enjoys being courted by others very much. Even the eldest daughter-in-law who had a rift in the past is licking her face to build a good relationship with her.

Being able to sit on the second floor of Aurora's bakery at any time is the most active topic in the circle of ladies.

The Duke of Longwy watched Aurora's bakery fire up again, and was so anxious that the corners of his mouth burst into flames. Although it didn't affect the sales of the bakery, he was very jealous of the other party's traffic.

If you want to reproduce it, you not only need to find building materials, but also find someone to paint, and you also need someone to imitate the fake green plants.

The important thing is that they can't copy the cake and milk tea at all.

Not to mention that it takes time to beat the egg whites, and the production of cream also requires special production. All the cream is brought out by Beichen, and there is no external factory.

Taylor's family is very good at ghosts, and the name of the drink is Beichen Special Drink. The Duke of Longwei probably guesses it with his own brain, and he can guess it for a lifetime.After all, tea is something that cannot be fried without any technology. The tea in the south is almost monopolized by Banlilu and Aurora. Even if the Duke of Longwei checks the source of the main ingredients of light milk tea and wants to cooperate in trading, he still needs to open up the southern market. .

In addition, the Earl of Ghana and the Countess of Ghana hated the Duke of Longwei very much, and Banlilou also sneered at him, so it was basically impossible for the Duke of Longwe to buy tea at a lower price.

The Duke of Longwei is one head and two big, and he deeply feels that the two Taylors are his nemesis, and they can't be defeated if they come secretly or openly.

He wanted to destroy Aurora's bakery, but it was busy, and if he dared to stretch out his hand now, Mrs. Garner would chop off his hand angrily.

With the Duke of Longwei's damage move ahead.

Aurora completely cut off the idea of ​​cooperating with His Majesty, and now even Miguel feels that His Majesty is irrelevant.

Although the shop rented from His Majesty is still in use, but it has not been modified, it has become a Mira shop, and the things have been lowered by a level.

Aurora turns to the Garner family.

The old aristocrats have survived to this day, and there are always advantages. The people of the Garner family are very well-bred, and the three views are relatively normal, and they are really lovable.

Mrs. Garner liked Aurora very much because of the VIP card. When she was happy, she sold two connected shops to Aurora. The two shops cover a total area of ​​[-] square meters. Just clear it.

The established family is rich and powerful, and they are willing to release such a good location, but Mrs. Garner has a condition, that is, no matter what the new store is, she wants a unique VIP card.

Aurora naturally complied with her request.

After getting the store, it is natural to start the renovation. This renovation is open to the outside world, and the construction team is also difficult to work in winter, so Lacey first supervises the building of the internal needs.Wait until spring to start renovations.

Mrs. Garner is so kind, and Aurora also keeps in touch, and she will be surprised in the future.

Back in time, back to Beichen, autumn is the harvest season, this time Aurora invited Ludo to stay for a while to watch the harvest of a new type of crop.

Banlilu had a keen sense of business, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

The friendly little nobles around were also invited by the Taylor family.

The Taylor family seldom invites people to come, and for this, the little nobles are very honored to attend on time.

Aurora first invited these people to dinner.

The dinner menu is something Baleno has never seen before, golden yellow and crispy potato balls, fried sweet potato chips, sweet potato bread, and of course meat dishes and vegetables.

Baleno liked the sweetness of sweet potatoes very much, and he asked if this was the crop to be seen tomorrow.

Aurora smiled and said yes, but didn't go any further, just waiting for tomorrow's reveal.

Baleno became more confident about this crop, "Countess, you are so mysterious, you will not disappoint us if you think about it."

Aurora raised her glass and said with a smile, "Of course."

Early the next morning, the nobles had their breakfast with weird faces, ate sweet potatoes, and farted all night. They wondered if Aurora was playing tricks on them.

Baleno is not the case. He believes that there must be places where they are willing to pay for sweet potatoes. After eating sweet potatoes, the side effects are so obvious, Aurora will not do such trivial things.

When they arrived in the fields, the nobles stood by the fields in gorgeous costumes.

In the past, slave peasants would be trembling.

Seeing that Aurora and Miguel were among them, they relaxed. With the lord around, they would not allow nobles from outside to bully them.

There is nothing to see in Nuanshidi itself, it is full of desolation.

The field where Nuanshi was removed, like other places in Beichen, is hot during the day and cold at night, which is very suitable for plants to accumulate sugar.

But after changing the terrain, looking around, it was full of leaves.

Ban Lilu was confused. Could it be that the sweet potatoes we ate last night were made of leaves?
The other nobles didn't have much interest in farming and were a little bored, "Count, Countess, what do we want to see now?"

Banlilu put his hands behind his back and also looked at Aurora.

He has come here many times, and he also knows that the real ruler of Beichen is not Earl Taylor, but Countess Aurora Taylor. All business matters and policies are decided by Aurora.

Aurora didn't answer.

Miguel was right next to him. It was very windy today, so he helped Aurora hold down the wide-brimmed hat on her head, "Don't worry, if the crops are not good enough, we won't be able to show them, which will only increase the joke."

Aurora signaled Linong to dig.

Ten farmers worked together, because the soil is relatively soft sandy soil, it is enough to use a small shovel to assist, pull out with both hands, and pull out seven or eight long tubers.

You can tell at a glance which is the sweet potato that was eaten yesterday.

Banlilu traveled all over the world and saw many farmers harvesting grain, so he knew that this output was not normal.

Slowly, baskets of sweet potatoes piled up on the edge of the field, and the piles piled up more and more.

Nobles who don't understand farming are so stupid that they can't see the extraordinary output.Baleno's hands trembled, "Madam, how long can this fruit be stored?"

"Depending on the storage conditions, dry it and grind it into powder and put it in a sealed glass bottle. It can be stored for about ten months. The seeds are stored in the cellar and can be stored for a year. It needs seedlings to be planted, which is a bit different from the previous planting method. Seeing the nervousness of the others, Aurora smiled because she was afraid that she would grasp the planting method. She didn't really see the money, "Don't worry, if you are willing to buy seeds, the planting method will be given to you."

The little nobles were very excited, thinking about how much they could buy.If Aurora asked a high price, they would join forces and buy it.

The process of pulling out sweet potatoes is very stress-free. Linong just dug about one-tenth of an acre, and Aurora asked people to carry out the most critical link, weighing.

Weigh one basket after another.

When the weight was weighed, everyone exclaimed in horror.

Two thousand one kilograms, incredible.

The people present had never seen such a bountiful crop, so they immediately gathered around and asked Aurora where she got the seeds, and how to sell the sweet potatoes.

As long as a dozen or so acres are planted, the territory's food reserves will be settled.

The skin of sweet potatoes is thin, so there is basically no waste, and the stems and leaves of sweet potatoes can also be eaten, and the whole body is a treasure.

Aurora didn't say the selling price, but just talked about what needs to be paid attention to when planting.

Aurora suggested that they breed more Gudou chickens to eliminate pests.

Guddu chickens are highly effective in killing insects, but in warm areas, care should be taken not to overwhelm them. There are many natural enemies of Gudou chickens, but the large number of natural enemies means that they will reproduce quickly if they eat more Guddu chickens.

For example, if a batch of sheep is lost in the local area, wolves will eat these domesticated sheep, and they will breed soon. When the sheep are gone, what will the wolves do? They can only attack humans.

Therefore, you should pay attention to their safety when raising Guddu chickens. It’s okay to lose a few chickens, but it’s a big deal if you lose a batch. If you lose them continuously, you will be in danger.

When choosing sweet potato seeds, the most important thing is to smell them for any peculiar smell. When there is a slightly pungent and indescribable smell, it means that it may be infested with insects.

Worm-ridden sweet potatoes can only be fed to pigs and chickens.

However, there were very few insects in this batch of sweet potatoes. Aurora put dozens of snowy owls into the field, and the effect was remarkable. It not only eliminated the pests, but also protected the crops.

They were disturbed by the sound of digging sweet potatoes just now, and they didn't know which pile of sweet potato leaves to hide under.

Banlilu calculated the price in his mind. In the first wave of potato sales, Aurora was determined to make a fortune from them. Now the price of wheat has dropped slightly. Before the long winter, it was 3 coppers per catty, but now it is 12 coppers per catty.In order to store more grain, the nobles were unwilling to sell more grain.

It will probably be better next year, but the sweet potato is a new variety with a sweet taste, and the small side effects are harmless.

Aurora's sale of their seeds means that next year they will also sell sweet potato seeds, and the profits are divided, which no one wants.

So Banlilu set a psychological price in his heart, as long as it was lower than this amount, he would make a decisive move.

Of course, as far as the matter is concerned, Ban Lilu went to the field to pick sweet potatoes regardless of his image, picked one at random, and there were still as many "fruits".Continuous random pulling, the same, almost the same, but the size is slightly different.

Ban Lilu patted the dust off his clothes, waiting for Aurora to make an offer.

Aurora didn't talk about the real price, but only said that they would sell by batches. When the time came, they would just bid. Ban Lilu narrowed his eyes and secretly praised Aurora's skill.

But I think that after sweet potato is bred, it grows stems and leaves, not "fruits".

As long as they buy it back and grow it next year, even if they sell it for dozens of silvers per catty, they will still make a lot of money.

Mainly grow this thing, so you don't have to worry about food shortages.

Obviously, the aristocrats also recognized Aurora's upright tricks. There are only about [-] aristocrats here, and the competition will not be too fierce.

But business is business, and some nobles feel that if they bid, the price tag must be inflated, and want to ask if it can be settled now, Aurora shakes her head, "If it wasn't for the famine last year, I don't plan to sell this year. It’s not easy for everyone, so it’s released so early.”

What Aurora said was beautiful.

The nobles felt at ease, and felt that it was a wise choice not to speak ill of the Taylor family.

Look, Viscount Hunter is still from Aurora's natal family.

Viscount Hunter was estranged from Aurora because of Jennifer, and indulged Jennifer's small tricks behind her back, which was not worth the loss.

Jennifer has talked about Aurora since the wedding.

Jennifer spread rumors in public, saying that Aurora was a countess who despised her from a baronial family. In the past few years, she had never visited any relatives, and she was unwilling to give a single piece of clothing.He also said that Aurora was very scheming, she pretended to be an innocent and poor girl at home, and immediately changed her personality and appearance after she got married, and made a career to please the Taylor family.

Even more outrageous, Jennifer didn't restrain herself at all, saying that Aurora had secretly had an affair with a servant before she got married.

The other nobles found it absurd. Aurora's appearance as a rational and strong woman, even if she likes puppies, she also likes Miguel with eight-pack abs.

Why spread a scandal to like a servant, but rumors are something that people believe if they don't believe it.

Aurora turned a deaf ear, not because she didn't think of fighting back, but because she wanted the opportunity to completely push her down.

Recently, Jennifer has rarely appeared in public, which probably angered Viscount Hunter and he was locked up.

No matter what other people think, Aurora's decision will not be changed. She has investigated and counted the power and background of these nobles. the whole empire.

For this bidding, Aurora will not be relentless, and the rich nobles must be willing to pay.

In the next few days, Aurora counted the batch of sweet potatoes as more than 100 million catties, except for the small ones, the skinned ones, and the ones that were too tender.

Eighty percent of them can be used as seeds.

Aurora will keep half of it for planting next year, leaving about 40 catties for the nobles.

At that time, it will be auctioned in Quanshui Square, and sold in batches of [-] catties.
