Chapter 232 Foggy Day
Overnight, the manor was shrouded in white mist.

When the people in the manor opened the door, they saw a vast sea of ​​white clouds.

The rolling mist is like a living river, flowing slowly in front of the door.

"Outside! There is white water outside!"

The Cloda people, who had seen this kind of thing for the first time, shouted in panic and wanted to use their voices to call more companions.

"It happens here every year. Just wait in the house. Don't go out. It won't get smaller until noon."

The Pumixiu man's voice came from the other side.

Soon more and more people opened their doors.

Emma and Bull led people to light a fire in the manor, and the Shepherdess, Edie, and Manderkru's family lit a bonfire outside the lumber camp.

Visibility is extremely low in this foggy weather, and even a torch cannot illuminate a place five meters away.

Lawrence and the others also got up quickly. Salil was combing her hair and looking at the window.

"It's that time again."

Lawrence took out his calendar board to record. Last year's foggy day was five days later, but this year's foggy day came earlier.

After noting the date of this year's fog, Lawrence went downstairs to eat with Saryl and Sophia.

Both Kohalan and Delenn were already sitting near the dining table, and Lathander also came out of the house to enjoy a hearty breakfast.

After sitting down, Lawrence said: "The fog will last for two or three days before it dissipates. Today, everyone is asked to rest at home and not go out."

Emma said: "They have been informed, and the new people also know about it, but it is difficult to inform the people down the mountain."

In foggy weather, a casual mountain road will become extremely dangerous. At this time, let alone going down the mountain, you have to be careful about bumping into people even when you go to the toilet.

Lawrence looked at Delenn and asked, "Have you never seen heavy fog before?"

"No." Delenn replied: "We don't have this kind of fog there, it's always warm."

Lawrence nodded, the fog was indeed caused by the cooling weather.

"There are Pumi Xiu people on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. The Pumi Xiu people are also aware of the situation here. It's just like Yong Ye. Everyone just needs to wait patiently."

Salil said: "This is all we can do now. Let's play cards together after dinner! Lawrence, do you want to join us?"

There are enough people in the house at the moment, and a maximum of four people can play cards, so there must be someone watching.

Lawrence said: "You guys have fun, I have to think about the water mill today, and next year we will expand here, and I want to think about how to build a house."

"Yeah! Okay!" Salil said happily: "Eat quickly, and think about it quickly after eating."

Although the current house is already very big, Salil is still looking forward to a bigger house.

After the meal, the maids cleared the table and cleaned, and the hostesses went upstairs to play cards and chat.

Lawrence went to the warehouse and built a model of a water-powered mill out of wooden blocks.

The technology of making a water-powered mill was very important, more important than the mill itself.

After copying this set of technology, waterwheels and cranes can also be built.

More wheels and axles are needed, and more precise and stable axles need to be made.

In the future, water truck systems can also be used for highly repetitive tasks such as irrigation, papermaking, and processing.

The theory is a theory. Lawrence repeatedly thought about and tried related technologies. As soon as he started, he felt that there were too many things to pave the way.

After a man was tired, he lay down on the wool carpet to rest. Lawrence temporarily stopped thinking about the wheel and turned to think about the rest of the things in the manor.

"I originally wanted to discuss going to sea with Friesen today."

"I don't know..." Lawrence suddenly came up with a very dangerous idea, but it was very consistent with the thinking of a barbarian.

"With my current strength, can I rob Redbeard?"

Lawrence thought hard about the question. "The main masters on Red Beard's side are Red Beard and Andrew, and there are also some smaller bosses who are more powerful than Friesen."

"Andrew will definitely not fight with us. After all, we are closer here."

"As for Redbeard... I feel like it would take at least five or six fierce men to deal with him."

Lawrence counted the combat units on his side.

Except for a few witches who are reluctant to use it, there are not many others who can fight it.

It's okay to bully the weaklings. If they really fight with Red Beard, both sides will lose.

It's not that they can't fight, it's mainly because they can't bear to have Salil, Delen and others injured.

"Forget it. We can't deal with Avari and Uribe without zero death. If we really fight Redbeard and the others, another group of people I have managed to cultivate here will die."

"I feel like I'm still too weak compared to Count Valkyrie now, alas!"

Lawrence quickly became determined, "We should still find foreign aid. On the one hand, we can develop trade to obtain more supplies, and on the other hand, we can recruit some barbarians who have nothing to do to work for me."

"After the fog clears, we will go out with the sled team to see if we can visit the barbarian tribes in the south."

"Those barbarians often go out to rob, and they obviously need a channel to sell their stolen goods. If someone hires them to fight, they should be able to win over them as long as the reward is suitable."

"Before you use these barbarians, you must first prevent them from having evil intentions and thinking that it would be more appropriate to rob me."

Lawrence thought about the thought that had just occurred to him. Civilized people like himself thought about robbery all day long, and the group of barbarians outside would only be worse than him.

"I'll take advantage of the winter to make more weapons. I'm going to have a look at the blacksmith shop."

"Make them a bellows."

Lawrence couldn't make a windmill or waterwheel, so he quickly relaxed his mind and made a simpler hand-pulled blower box.

This thing can not only be used in stoves, but can also be used to forge iron to increase the temperature of the flame.

The mountain forest looks particularly quiet in the foggy weather, and it is another scene in the big house with dim lights.

As the lord, Lawrence was carefully making tools on the first floor, while the two maids were taking care of the children in the room, or lying on the bed and taking a nap.

The women on the second floor were concentrating on playing cards.

Salil thought of something, dropped the wooden sign and went to the cupboard, squatting down and rummaging for something.

Sophia takes Saryl's place and plays cards with three other witches.

While a few people were playing cards, Salil came over holding a box.

"These are the potato chips Lawrence made last time. I happen to be hungry. Let me try them."

Salil grabbed three slices of potatoes and put them in her mouth.

"Kacha~Kacha~Kacha~"

Salil swallowed the potato slices under the watchful eyes of several people, "It's not delicious, it just tastes like potatoes."

Kharan also felt that potato chips were not delicious, but after hearing the sound of Salil eating potato chips, he also wanted to try them.

"You can take out the honey and eat it with honey."

Salil thought for a while and nodded quickly: "Okay!"

In the past, if Lawrence wanted to drink a bowl of sugar water, Salil would scold him, but now Salil and the others can just eat snacks dipped in honey!
The combination of the originally mediocre potato slices and honey instantly whetted the appetites of several people.

Especially Sofia, who kept reaching out to grab the potato chips.

Kacha~
Kacha~
Kacha~
Everyone happily bit potato slices and made exciting sounds.

Soon potato chips became a more popular food among girls than fried chicken!
