Chapter 190 Caravan
"It's so delicious!" Sofia ate the sweet orange with a childish and sincere look on her face.

Lawrence sat on the chair, took out two oranges and handed them to Emma.

"Emma, ​​you and Bull should try it too. Go outside to eat it. Spit the seeds on the ground behind the church to see if saplings will grow in the future. Peel off the orange peels and put them on the windowsill to dry. It will be useful to me."

Emma happily took the orange, "Yes, thank you Master!"

The room was soon empty of maids, and Lawrence looked over to Saryl and Sophia, who both had a sweet tooth and were eating oranges.

"This has Kharan's power on it. She doesn't like the smell. Remember to rinse your mouth after eating."

Sofia stuffed half an orange into her mouth and nodded.

Salil's eyes narrowed, "This is so sour..."

Lawrence said: "If no one comes near Mount Talim, the magic there will not dissipate. I will arrange for a family to manage the orchards on the mountain, preferably someone who can make wine."

In Lawrence's view, the fruit trees in Talim Mountain are like petri dishes that grow wildly due to excess nutrients. The contents inside are unable to have normal contact with the outside world for a long time, resulting in miasma occurring every once in a while.

These miasmas are a sign of the maturity of the mountains, and they were also the means of self-preservation in Kharan in the past.

Pick and add new fruit trees in a timely manner, and use the power of bees and human animals to keep the mountains flowing, so that the nutrients will not always ferment in one place.

Salil thought of someone.

"Ask Ai Ali, she will definitely know this."

Ai Ali...Lawrence remembered who this was. She was Kate's wife and Doug's daughter-in-law.

Doug's main business is not raising dogs. The people in Snow Cave helped him raise the dogs. In fact, Doug's family runs a tavern, and the sled team is usually responsible for delivering wine.

Sophia got down from the chair, "Master, I'm going to call Ai Ali over!"

"Okay." Lawrence nodded.

Salil smiled and said: "We will have a lot of wine to drink in the future, but Lawrence, you don't drink, so you don't need too much."

Lawrence really doesn't drink much. On the one hand, he doesn't like exciting things, and on the other hand, he is uneasy about the manual technology of this era.

There must be various reasons why people here don't live long. If a person wants to live a long life, in addition to genes, he also needs various health awareness, especially a life attitude of not seeking death.

You can't control others' drinking. If you prohibit alcohol in this area where it's winter most of the time, you will be the first to be resented by angry people.

Even God can't control those drunkards.

If the quality of the wine can be managed well and cleaner wine can be brewed, even if you don't drink it yourself, you can feel more at ease when Kehalan and others drink.

Sophia quickly led Ai Ali in.

Ai Ali, like Emma and Bull, has no makeup and has the beauty of a young woman.

Compared to Emma and Bull, Ai Ali, who is between 20 and 30 years old, has a more mature temperament and has just given birth to two children.

Lawrence said: "Ai Ali, how are you doing recently?"

Ai Ali glanced at Lawrence and Salil nervously, lowered her head and said, "Yes, Master."

Lawrence said: "Doug and I are good friends, and Kate is also a good friend. After Doug's misfortune, I even avenged him."

Looking at Ai Ali who was obviously in disbelief, Lawrence stood up and picked up an orange, peeled it open and handed half of the pulp to her.

"I'll give you an orange to eat."

Ai Ali took the orange and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

After eating it, Ai Ali fell in love with this sweet fruit.

Lawrence looked at the woman who was obviously much more natural and asked, "Ai Ali, do you know how to make wine?"

Ai Ali shook her head, "No, this Doug only told his sons not to let us enter the wine cellar."

Brewing is a skill, and Doug had a strong sense of secrecy. Now that Doug and his sons are dead, this skill has been lost.

The same goes for missionary Kenny, whose ale-making skills were lost due to accidental death.

This seems to be something that happens often in human history.Lawrence was a little disappointed, "Well, I want to find someone to help me make wine. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to do it, Ai Ali. I will build a separate wooden house for you in the future, otherwise the men outside will definitely fight for your beauty. "

Ai Ali blushed and looked at Lawrence enthusiastically, "Can I be your maid? Living in this big house, I will be in good health! I am also very beautiful!"

Lawrence was speechless: "But you still have Kate's child in your belly."

Ai Ali covered her stomach with her hands and defended, "You can be his father."

Lawrence doesn't have this kind of hobby, and Aiali is not comparable to witches such as Salil and Sophia, not even Bull and Emma.

Everyone's aesthetics are generally the same, but there are big differences in subtle aspects. Lawrence doesn't like the round-faced beauties that are popular in the north.

Lawrence quickly dismissed this enthusiastic and proactive village girl and said thoughtfully: "If there is no winemaker, there will be no one. There must be a baker."

Salil took the initiative and said: "I can make bread!"

"I don't want you to do these manual jobs every day." Lawrence suggested: "Let the women make bread first, and then take the children to learn, and then let these children become regular bakers."

Most regular bakers are men, especially those who open shops.

Cooking has always been a physical job, especially a repetitive physical job, so it would be better to train some bakers.

Lawrence counted that his Western slaves were generally distributed in nineteen occupations.

Breadmakers, butchers, carpenters, coppersmiths, cloth merchants, dyers, fullers, glovemakers, tanners, locksmiths, papermakers, traders, chimney sweeps, tanners, blacksmiths, garment workers, roofers, weavers , farmers.

There are currently no gardeners and milkmaids, and these have not been separated out in detail, but there are traders who work part-time in these areas.

When pirates rob, they will give priority to those who are rich and able to work. Usually most farmers are relatively thin, and most farmers do not gather in cities.

It's not that there aren't any, but the number of farmers is relatively small, and most of them live on the outskirts of the manor, as well as near vast villages and fields.

Because farming requires farming nearby, each village actually accommodates its population according to the number of surrounding fields.

Once they are too far away from the cultivated land, in order to protect the output of the fields and facilitate farming, they will pay a bribe to the lord's family and move to build a new home near the farmland.

The people who gather in the city are basically people who have no land to farm, so in a slightly larger residential area, it is easy to catch people with some strange skills.

Although there are currently no formal winemakers, Lawrence believes there will be in the future.

However, Lawrence also discovered the scarcity of doctors among the professions compiled by his staff!
Just as Lawrence continued to develop with peace of mind, a team of more than 20 people arrived in Pumexiu Town.

The leader was riding a long and thin mount, like a wild boar or a mouse, but without a tail and with thicker limbs.

It is smaller than the mountain wild boar used as a barbarian mount, and its body proportions are more coordinated and stable. It looks harmless to humans and animals.

There are also authentic mountain wild boars in the team, each of which looks very bad-tempered. Next to them are men wearing linen clothes or leather armor.

These people don't dress like villagers, some look like pirates, and some look like city dwellers.

In addition to the men, there were more than a dozen women in the team. These women were holding two long wooden sticks in their hands and standing next to the car containing the boxes as if they were tied up by the wooden sticks.

The approach of these people quickly aroused the vigilance of the Pumi Xiu people. Friesen and the others took weapons to guard the men standing at the entrance of the village.

"who are you?"

The man said: "I am Larn, a businessman from Telland's Great Hoof City. My master heard that there are useful things here and asked me to exchange [chamber pots] and [playing cards]."

Friesen and others were relieved, but still worried about these people.

Rahn said: "I saw your people in the tavern. They said this in the tavern. They said that after going back, they can exchange women and food for more [poker cards] that can be used to play war games. My master I hope to get ten more [chamber pots].”

Friesen quickly said: "You have to wait a moment. Only Lawrence has that thing. I will ask someone to call him over."

Rahn looked at these people. There were not many men in this place, most of them were women.

But that Lawrence may be the leader here, and there are rumors that there is a Crowfeather Prophet who can bring the dead back to life.

Shocked by the legend, Rahn chose to wait and see for the time being.
