I, a fallen nobleman, started the farming system

Chapter 24 The Maid's Mind

The next day!

The morning sun shone on the ground, and a large amount of spices had accumulated in the courtyard of the castle. When Lynn woke up, he felt that the air was filled with fragrance.

He went downstairs, and Carliss immediately asked Allie to prepare breakfast.

Nisha and Jimmy brought water, Lynn washed up, got used to brushing his teeth with a toothbrush, and now he just rinsed his mouth, feeling that his mouth was not clean.

White bread, vegetable salad and mushroom soup were placed on the table. Lynn spread jam on the white bread and took a bite. The fluffy bread with sweet jam tastes good.

"Ellie, your baking skills have improved a lot." Lynn praised without hesitation.

Ellie smiled, "Thank you Lord Lord for your approval, Ellie will definitely work harder to bake the best bread."

Nibbling on one side looked at Ellie with a strange look in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Karis said: "Master, the serfs went to pick spices early in the morning, and there are quite a few in the yard."

Lin En nodded. These serfs worked very quickly and were very easy to use. They would not be lazy at all, and there was old Tom watching over them, so Lynn didn't have to worry about it.

Dip the white bread with the mushroom soup, and Lynn took a sip. The combination of the two flavors is not a perfect match. It would be great if it was replaced with steamed buns.

There is also flour at home, and Lynn himself knows how to steam steamed buns. The key problem is that he can't show his hands casually.

Lynn looked at Karis. He always wanted to return to the castle, and when the opportunity came, he would send him back. At that time, he could do whatever he wanted.

Karis's heart trembled for no reason, and he didn't know what was going on, but was soon replaced by excitement.

After breakfast, Lynn came to the yard. There were green fennel fruits everywhere, and the unique smell of fennel wafted in the yard.

At this stage, fennel can be directly used as a spice, but the preservation is not good, and it needs to be fully dried.

Lin En directed the servants to spread the fennel on the ground. As long as there is enough sunlight these days, it can be dried and stored in a ventilated place for a long time.

However, this time is also limited. After all, it has not been smoked with sulfur, so it cannot be kept unchanged for five or six years.

Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help laughing at himself. He was used to eating food with additives, but now seeing such a pure natural thing, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The spring sun is not blazing, but it shines warmly on people's bodies.

Lynn was sitting in the yard, and there was a glass of water with mint leaves on the table next to him.

He took a sip from the cup, and the fragrance of mint entered his mouth, which made him nod slightly.

Karis also came over with a cup filled with mint leaves, stood aside, and sipped water, "Compared to beer and wine, this water has a different taste, but there is a problem."

"Oh, tell me." Lynn said.

"Why don't we just use cold water, it's more convenient." Karis didn't understand.

Lin En said casually: "I just think that arrowhead mushrooms are especially delicious when boiled in hot water, so I want to try the effect of mint."

"That's it, you really deserve to be the young master. Your keen thinking is especially suitable for governing the territory." Carliss admired.

Lynn smiled and didn't say much. He couldn't say that drinking hot water is just to kill the bacteria in the water. It seems that there is no concept of bacteria here.

Speaking of which, there is no habit of drinking hot water here. Ordinary free people drink wheat wine and beer more, while nobles mainly drink wine and mead, plus some precious alcohol.

As for water, it's not that I don't drink it, but that after drinking it, I will have a stomachache and symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea, so I seldom drink it over time.

When Lynn was still in the Earl's Castle, he had been out many times. He knew why such things happened. Fecal garbage seriously polluted the water resources, making the water sources unclean.

As for the villages and towns, besides the dirt, there is another reason why people and animals are not separated.

Lynn has dealt with the street dirt problem, and then he needs to go further to change the townspeople.

It happened that Old Tom brought the serfs to pick the spices.

Lynn waved his hand to let them come over and asked, "What do you usually drink?"

Old Tom replied, "My lord, we usually drink water, and sometimes we drink some low-quality beer. Every time we drink water, our stomach hurts for a few days, and some serfs died because of drinking water."

The status of serfs is far lower than that of freedmen, and they have no rights at all, especially the serfs in Ashes Town. They even have food and clothing problems, let alone enjoy beer.

In Old Tom's mind, the last time they had a beer was a few years ago, and they more often quenched their thirst with water, because drinking water is considered the most inferior thing.

Lynn understood why the serfs died. They drank untreated cold water, were infected by bacteria, and could not receive timely treatment. The only consequence was death.

"From now on, you must boil the water before drinking it, that is, until the water bubbles."

Although Old Tom and the serfs didn't understand what the lord meant, since it was an order from the lord, they naturally obeyed it.

Put the spices down, Old Tom and they're off again.

Lin En felt a little fortunate that Ashes Town was surrounded by a boundless forest, and the most indispensable thing was wood. Otherwise, things like boiling water would not be possible for serfs for a long time.

He is currently unable to provide beer to the serfs, so he can only use this to minimize the possibility of serfs getting sick. After all, serfs are his property, and every death of a serf is a big loss.

The whole day passed quickly.

Night falls.

In the maid's room, the three maids were still awake and were whispering.

"Ai Li, today you have been praised by adults, I am so envious."

"Hee hee, I didn't expect the lord to praise me. I'm in such a good mood that I can't sleep at all. When I think of what the lord said, I have enough motivation when I make bread."

"Ai Li, is cooking to get adults' attention?"

"Niansha, why do you think so, as long as we do what we should do, adults will definitely notice."

"By the way, Nisha, are you interested in adults?"

"Ah, no, no."

The little face that gnawed on the yarn immediately turned red, and hurriedly denied it.

"We can all see your thoughts. Your Excellency is so excellent, but he is a nobleman, and we are servants, so we cannot do such transgressive things."

"So what's the matter? Didn't a servant give birth to a child and get a reward before?"
