I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System

The next day!

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

He went downstairs, and Caris immediately asked Ellie to prepare breakfast.

Qiansha and Jimmy brought water, and Linn washed up. He was used to brushing his teeth with a toothbrush, but now he just rinsed his mouth, but he always felt that his mouth was not very clean.

There were white bread, vegetable salad and mushroom soup on the table. Lynn spread the jam on the white bread and took a bite. The soft bread tasted good with the sweet jam.

Ellie, your bread-baking skills have improved a lot. Linn praised without hesitation.

Ellie smiled broadly, Thank you Lord for your recognition. Ellie will definitely work harder and bake the most delicious bread.

On the other side, Chesha 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 many in the yard.

Linn nodded. These serfs worked very quickly and were very useful. They would not be lazy at all. Moreover, there was Old Tom supervising them, so Linn didn't have to worry about them.

Linn dipped the white bread into the mushroom soup and took a bite. The mixture of the two flavors was not a perfect match. It would be better if it were replaced with steamed buns.

There is flour at home, and Lin En also knows how to steam steamed buns. The key problem is that he cannot expose this hand casually.

Linn looked at Karis. He had always wanted to return to the castle. 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. He didn't know what was going on, but was soon replaced by excitement.

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

At this stage, fennel can be used directly as a spice, but it has poor storage properties and needs to be fully dried.

Linn directed the valet to spread these fennel on the ground. As long as there is enough sunlight in the past few days, they can be dried and stored in a ventilated place. They can be stored for a long time.

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

Thinking of this, Linn couldn't help but laugh at himself. He was used to eating food with additives, but now he was a little uncomfortable seeing such pure natural things.

The spring sunshine is not blazing, but it shines warmly on people.

Lynn was sitting in the courtyard, with a glass of water with mint leaves on the table next to her.

He took a sip from the cup, and the refreshing smell of mint entered his mouth, making him couldn't help but nod slightly.

Karis also came over with a cup filled with mint leaves and stood aside, sipping 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 would be easier. Karis was puzzled.

Lin En said casually: I just think the arrowhead mushroom soup tastes particularly delicious when boiled with hot water, so I wanted to try the effect of mint.

That's right. You are indeed a young master. Your keen ideas are particularly suitable for managing the territory. Karis praised.

Lin En smiled and didn't say much. It was impossible for him to say that drinking hot water was just to kill the bacteria in the water. It seemed that there was no concept of bacteria here.

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

As for water, it’s not that I don’t drink it, but that after drinking it I will have stomachache, vomiting and diarrhea, and over time I rarely drink it.

When Lynn was still in the Earl's Castle, he had gone out many times. He knew why such a thing happened. Feces and garbage seriously polluted the water resources, causing the water sources to become unclean.

As for villages and towns, besides filth, there is another reason why humans and animals are not separated.

Linn has solved the problem of street filth, and now he needs to go further to change the townspeople.

By chance, Old Tom came with his serfs to pick spices.

Linn waved his hand for them to come over and asked, What do you usually drink?

Old Tom replied, Dear Lord, we usually drink water, and sometimes we drink some low-quality beer. Every time we drink water, our stomachs will hurt for several days, and some serfs have died because of drinking water.

The status of serfs is far lower than that of free people and they have no rights at all, especially the serfs in Ashes Town. They have trouble even having food and clothing, let alone enjoying beer.

In Old Tom's impression, the last time they drank beer was several years ago. They more commonly quenched their thirst with water, because drinking water was considered the most despicable thing.

Lin En 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, boil the water until it bubbles.

Although Old Tom and the serfs did not understand what the lord meant, since it was his order, they naturally had to obey it.

Putting down the spices, Old Tom and the others left again.

Lin En felt a little lucky. Ash Town was surrounded by boundless forests, and the most indispensable thing was wood. Otherwise, the serfs would not be able to boil water 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 the serfs getting sick. After all, the serfs are his property, and every death of one of them is a big loss.

The whole day passed quickly.

Night falls.

In the maid's room, the three maids were not asleep yet and were talking quietly.

Ellie, you received praise from adults today. I'm so envious.

Hehe, I didn't expect that the adults would praise me. I was in such a good mood that I couldn't sleep at all. When I thought of the adults, I got enough motivation when making bread.

Ellie, do you need to cook to get adults' attention?

Xiesha, why do you think so? As long as we do what we should do, we will definitely be noticed by adults.

By the way, Qiansha, are you interested in adults?

Ah, no, no.

Chewsha's little face immediately turned red and she hurriedly denied it.

We can all see what you are thinking. Your Excellency is so outstanding, but he is a noble and we are servants. We cannot do such transgressive things.

So what? There were servants who gave birth to children before and were rewarded.
