I'm an Aristocrat, but I've Started a Farming System - Chapter 158

c158 Potato harvest

The few people brought back by Harvey are now completely accustomed to life in Ash Town. The caster studied crystal stones with Hamid, and the knight trained with Matthew and also served as a combat trainer.

Although these people have encountered some things and are disabled, they are quite experienced and do not strictly abide by the teachings of knights. For them, victory is the final result.

Matthew also taught them some knightly combat skills, which greatly improved their strength.

However, they cannot follow the training all the time, they still have to do their own things.

The Ashes Caravan has shown a certain strength in the surrounding area, which naturally attracted the attention of some towns, and this protection must be improved again.

“Well, I will take them with me on the next caravan.” Karis hesitated and said, “Sir, I heard some bad news recently about the city of Aulis.”

“what news?”

“It seems that dark cultists are raging.”

“Rage, you should know the meaning of this word, that is the city of Aulis!” Linn said in a serious tone.

“I’ve also heard that many refugees have disappeared. It is said that they were captured by dark cultists. These dark cultists don’t know what to do with them. Could they be evil sacrifices?” Karis was a little worried.

But his worries are not that serious, because his family members have also been taken to Ashes Town.

“Just ask her!” Linn pointed at Harlin who came in from outside.

“What’s wrong?” Harlin looked confused.

“About the dark cultists,” Linn repeated Karis’s words.

After hearing this, Harlem frowned, “I didn’t hear any plans related to Aulis City. Although we are divided into different factions, we all hold the same idea about these kingdoms that openly rebel against the church. That is to support and strengthen them, it will only help, and it will be neutral and will never undermine their stable development.”

“That’s interesting. Last time you said you were betrayed, could it be that they did something that even you internally didn’t know about?” Linn asked.

Harlem’s face darkened, “I need to investigate this matter. There must be no problem in the Kingdom of Kais, otherwise our efforts will be in vain.”

She placed the potion in her hand on the table and said: “These are three potions with different effects, recovery potion, stone skin potion and magic recovery potion.”

“It was made so quickly.” Lin En picked up the potion and looked at it.

“They are all primary potions, but the effect is better than those sold on the market because they don’t contain any moisture.” Harlin explained.

“What’s the meaning?”

“Potion is an expensive thing with excellent effects. Generally speaking, the potion produced will be provided to the royal family, and then to the nobility and free people. The big nobles have strong wealth and can naturally afford it, but some small The nobles did not have so much money.

Therefore, merchants will divide a potion into two parts and add water to them. In this way, they can sell it cheaper. As for the weakening of the effect, they will not care. After adding water layer by layer, the effect of the potion will become worse and worse, and the price will increase. It’s getting cheaper and cheaper, but more and more people are buying it. ”

Harlem’s tone was sarcastic, “These businessmen have no faith at all in order to make money. The teachings of the God of Commerce do not allow them to do this.”

“What about cost price and sales price?”

“The materials are not valuable, and the cost is only a few silver coins, but this basic potion can be sold for more than two gold coins. As for higher-level potions, and those with special effects, the price is even higher, so there are At that time, measuring the power of a royal family also depended on the number of high-level potions.”

Lin En shook his head, “No matter how many high-level potions there are, how can there be so many low-level potions? And the royal family will definitely not give these potions to ordinary people. Sufficient low-level potions can often have better effects.” , how long does the potion last?”

“If it were before, the time would be shorter, but there are still two springs and winters. If you use magic seal, the time will be longer. Now the glass container you made can completely preserve three springs and winters.”

“How long does it take you to make the potion?”

Harlin also understood what Lin En meant, “For me, as long as I have enough materials, I can make potions in batches, but I won’t always stay in the workshop to make them for you, but”

A look of hesitation appeared on Harlin’s face, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Lin En saw her difficulty, “If you find it difficult, there is no need to force yourself. You are already very grateful for helping me make the potion.”

“Do you believe in God?” Harlem said suddenly.

Lin En knew that her question should be related to what she wanted to say. He didn’t know whether to say he believed it or not, so he simply said directly: “I don’t have any faith, not even a casual believer.”

“Let me think about it.” Harlin left directly.

Karis looked puzzled and had no idea what they meant.

“Is there anything else?”

“Yes, sir, the potatoes are ready to be harvested. Levin and the others are waiting for you to come over.” Karis replied.

“Oh, let’s go and have a look inside the ground.”

Agricultural area, potato fields.

There are already a large number of serfs waiting here, and Levin stands at the front. After his natural magic in the past few days, the growth of potatoes has been accelerated.

When Lynn came here, he saw that the entire field was completely covered with green.

“My lord, I can feel the potatoes getting ripe,” Levine said.

“Okay, let’s dig potatoes!”

Following Linn’s order, the serfs took farm tools and tore apart the potatoes. The soil was dug up, revealing round potatoes that were quite large in size.

The serfs were all shocked. The potatoes they planted at the beginning were just a small piece of potato. How could they grow like this?

Levin said with a sigh: “Sir, just relying on these potatoes, you don’t have to worry about food problems.”

He had asked the serfs before and learned that potatoes grew from potato chunks. One potato could be cut into at least five or six pieces, and one chunk could produce a dozen large potatoes, or even more.

One changes to ten, and ten changes to hundreds. If so many potatoes are planted, the quantity will be unimaginable.

Moreover, he could feel that these potatoes could still be grown.

“You can’t eat potatoes all the time. Besides, if they sprout, they are poisonous.” Lin En’s tone was brisk, and he was in a good mood.

In the afternoon, after the serfs had been busy all day, a large number of potatoes were put into bags and stored.

Some of the potatoes went to the serfs, as they deserved.

In the castle yard, there was a fire on which potatoes and beef were stewed. The soup was constantly boiling and the aroma was overflowing.

Linn used a wooden stick to get the potatoes out of the ash, peeled off the skin, and took a bite. Compared with the baked potatoes he had eaten before, it tasted better.

“You all have a taste too.”

Karis, Levin, Hamid and others all took potatoes and ate them.

“It’s delicious. I didn’t expect this potato to taste like this.” Karis was surprised.

Harlin ate the potatoes in small bites, not knowing what he was thinking.

Levin finished a potato and said, “This kind of food is very satiating. You feel full after eating one.”

He immediately thought of the importance of potatoes. They are easy to sow, have huge yields, and can be planted multiple times a year. Not to mention the people in Ashes Town, even if they grow several times more, they don’t have to worry about food.

Several races among the orcs have huge appetites, which makes their lives very difficult. They can only go hungry. Over time, the number of the tribe continues to decrease. If they can get enough food, they can not only eat well, but also help the lord with work. .

Levin suddenly said, “Sir, do you know about the half-bear and half-elephant people?”

“I’ve heard that the number is very small, and there is basically no trace of them.” Linn said, this is what he asked from Hamid.

“Well, the two tribes are very powerful and are responsible for the combat power among the orcs. However, due to lack of food, the number is constantly decreasing. Now there are only a few hundred. I happen to know a half-bear, and they are about 100 meters away from here. It’s not too far, I wonder if I can bring them here.”
