Lady of the Lord From the East

Slaughter took over very smoothly. Felix walked around the new territory, met the serfs, and got a general understanding of the situation. After letting them know who the new lord was, the matter was settled. .

According to the predetermined plan, they will stay here for a few days. Although it is indeed troublesome to have no suitable accommodation, since Wei Wei doesn't mind sleeping in the carriage, other people will naturally not care about this.

The men chose the campsite on the first day they arrived in Slot. The knights and soldiers were accustomed to sleeping in the open air, so if there were any shelters, they could huddle directly by the bonfire and sleep for a night, not to mention this. The next time they carried the felt blankets and animal skins to build the tent, and then cut some suitable branches to ride on the supports, and then tied the felt blankets and animal skins, and a tent that sheltered from the wind and rain was quickly formed.

Wei Wei was actually a little curious about this kind of tent life, but this time, besides her, there were only two maids Penny and Kama in the team. It was not suitable for three women to mix with a group of men. In the end, they chose to live in a carriage. rest.

The reason why he stayed after meeting the serfs was because Felix needed to take a team of knights to hunt in Slot. Slot was near the sea, but there were a lot of woodlands. There was no lord here for three years, so naturally there was no lord. Humans can drive out wild beasts for them, and although serfs can hunt themselves, their equipment is simple, and what they can hunt are basically small animals such as hares, pheasants, and even deer and roe deer, the favorite hunting of nobles , not to mention wild boars and other dangerous beasts.

And Sloth's wild beasts are not controlled by humans, they have increased a lot in the past few years, the danger of the woodlands has increased, and the serfs do not dare to hunt alone as before, and at least a dozen people must form a team to enter.

But by the spring of this year, some people said they saw signs of bears in the woods, and some people heard bears howling, and no one dared to go deep into the woods after that.

The purpose of Felix bringing so many knights this time is to hunt down bears and other dangerous beasts who do not know whether they exist or not, so as to prevent them from harming humans.

This was the itinerary that was decided upon receiving the news, so before coming to Sloth, Wei Wei also prepared a riding outfit for herself, ready to ride a jade lion to go hunting with Felix.

Felix didn't want to take her, after all, hunting has always been a man's business, and Wei Wei has never shown any related skills, he was very worried that she would be in danger during the hunt.

But after Wei Wei showed him his great strength and ability to shoot arrows, he agreed.

Wei Wei had always known that Wei Wei looked petite and her strength was strong, but Felix was a little surprised that she could shoot arrows.

But what made him even more puzzled was that Wei Wei's shooting accuracy was very good, and her bow-drawing posture was also very standard, but it vaguely gave people a sense of strangeness, which was very contradictory.

The reason why I feel conflicted is naturally because Wei Wei really can't shoot arrows, but her body is different.

There are no weapon restrictions in the mobile games she played in the past. The female doctor's martial art weapon is floating dust, but whether it is swords, spears, bows of other warrior professions, or staff and piano fans of magic professions, female doctors can use them. The only difference is that Is there a suitable attack bonus?

Although the system didn't give her the attacking skills in the game, she still had the force value, so she was strong enough and used weapons such as bows and arrows smoothly. Inevitably there will be a hint of novice unfamiliarity.

Because Wei Wei argued that in their country, women can also participate in hunting, she said so, and her riding and archery seemed to be really good, Felix naturally had to agree.

Moreover, although it is rare to hunt with women, it is not uncommon, but the way men used to please women in the noble circle at that time, hunting was only harmless prey, unlike them this time, they were running Go on a bear hunt.

In view of the high danger of the prey this time, Felix brought the Cavaliers, and Wei Wei also made a lot of preparations in advance.

After a day of repairing at the camp, they were about to set off early the next morning.

Wei Wei had already changed into a riding suit and rode on the jade lion, and was ready to set off. Her riding suit was naturally not the ladies' riding suit of later generations, but the style of Hu clothing popular in Tang Dynasty, which she made out of old clothes. The dark brown blouse has lapels and narrow sleeves, knee-length, a pair of trousers, a belt at the waist, and a pair of leather riding boots on the feet, which is very convenient for movement.

Of course, because it is an improved style, it is actually quite different from the real Hu clothes, but others don't know it. In the eyes of others, her outfit is obviously exotic, and they only think that this is a lady's riding suit from the Silk Country. And she is dressed like this, other people don't have much discussion about her riding like a man, they just think that the women in the silk country are different from them, they all ride like this, so there is no problem with the countess riding like this. .

I have to say that the name of Huaxia is really useful at this time. Before, the Great Mongolia almost harmed the whole of Europe, and everyone was afraid. Now European countries have heard the news and know that in the far east, the Silk Country has already taken the Great Mongolia. The fight is retreating, and there may be no Great Mongolia soon.

The nightmare that had been crushed on their heads in the past was defeated by another stronger opponent, and they would naturally be more in awe of the victor.

Therefore, after the news of the Far East began to spread in Europe, everyone has a deeper impression of the Silk Country. It is not just a rich country with silk, but also has a powerful mark.

In addition to the changes brought by Wei Wei, it does not further prove that the country in the Far East is not only a precious commodity of silk, they have more treasures, but at the same time they also have a strong power to protect these treasures.

Therefore, people naturally regarded Wei Wei, a noble from the Silk Country, a little more highly.

Ready to go, Wei Wei left two maids behind and followed Felix into the woods.

The Cavaliers entered the forest to hunt during the day and came out before dark, and then went in again the next day. It lasted for three days before completing the hunting mission.

For this hunt, the knights also brought hounds. The hounds followed the smell to the wild bear. It was a bear that had just finished hibernating. Its physique was thinner than in other seasons. It was still extremely dangerous, especially at this time. The bear was busy looking for food, and his temper was even more fiery.

Faced with this kind of beast, the hunters naturally couldn't go straight to the head and face it. They surrounded the bear's cave, set fire to smoke the cave at the mouth of the cave, and made a noise to disturb the resting bear. When the bear fled in panic, The soldiers who were in ambush outside immediately swarmed up and killed it with their spears.

Although she was with the Cavaliers, Wei Wei was not allowed to approach the bear hunt, but was kept in a safe place, watching Felix and the others show their talents from a distance, and shot the bear blind with two shots. eyes, giving the soldiers more opportunities.

That picture is **** and inhumane, and it will definitely be strongly condemned by the Animal Protection Association in future generations, but now, animals are one of the sources of human food, and large beasts are even more dangerous to human beings. Once discovered, they must be killed. of.

The bear's body was covered with scars left by spears, and the fur was obviously incomplete. The blood left on the body was more likely to attract other beasts, but their team was huge, and even if there were beasts peeping secretly, there was no real Show up.

Before the target was captured, they had already hit a lot of prey, basically wild boars. Although a single male wild boar is also very ferocious, they are still a little less aggressive than bears, and they form groups. The herd of wild boars are all female wild boars and piglets. In the spring, many sows are even pregnant, and the piglets are young and dangerous, and hunting is much less difficult, and Felix is ​​not taking risks. It meant that every time a group of wild boars was encountered, the knights had to cooperate with each other, so that the danger was relatively small, so even Wei Wei shot a thin female wild boar with a bow and arrow during the hunting process.

In addition to this wild boar, Wei Wei also hunted several pheasants, rabbits and even a roe deer during the three-day hunting. They also encountered deer, but in the end everyone chose to give up these prey. The roe deer she hunted was He bumped into it by himself, Wei Wei didn't even want to draw the bow, everything was just a conditioned reflex.

She is protected by layers. Basically, people who come to sightseeing can hunt a lot of prey, not to mention other people. The prey obtained from this hunt can almost be piled up into a hill, and there are no less than a hundred of various prey. There are also a lot of still alive prey, mainly wild boars and hares and pheasants, especially wild boars. We all know that the Countess is very interested in raising pigs recently, so the wild boars that are not lethal are directly caught alive. .

The prey piled up during the hunt was sent to the camp and handled by two maids with serfs. The blood was collected when the prey was caught, the fur was peeled off for tanning, the meat was smeared with salt to make bacon for easy storage, and the bones It is also collected. Most of the animal internal organs can be eaten, and the poisonous ones that cannot be eaten are discarded.

The serfs helped very diligently. The Count hunted dangerous beasts for them, and was willing to leave some of these prey to them. For the serfs who could only eat fish for a long time, It is also very luxurious.

The serfs were even more excited when the body of the last wounded bear was carried out. This bear was officially one of the reasons why they were afraid of entering the forest. Now that the bear is dead, they will dare to pick it in the forest in the future. Wild fruits fight pig grass to collect firewood and even graze.

Of all the prey, Wei Wei was the most interested in the bear, and she was eyeing the bear's paw.

Bear's paw is one of the Eight Treasures in ancient times, and it is naturally unavailable in modern times, but since there are ready-made materials in front of her, she naturally wants to try cooking it herself.

It just so happened that the hunting was over, so many prey had to be sent back to Sardinson, and there were many official duties in the territory waiting for the count and his wife to go back to deal with it, so they didn’t stop there and returned to Sardinia with a few carts of prey. Senburg.

It can be said that the serfs were very reluctant when they left. Although Felix said that someone would arrange their future affairs, the specific content was not mentioned. The serfs were still at a loss for the future, and they did not know what to do. what.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. A few days after the Earl and his party left, a few stewards from Fort Sardinson arrived in Sloot to take over the affairs here and arrange for the serfs to fish and cultivate the land. Build houses and repair salt fields.

Most importantly, they brought not only various tools but also several carts of food. As long as the serfs worked diligently according to their instructions, they could fill their stomachs every day. Moreover, these stewards stared at people to work. Without flicking the whip, the serfs could eat and drink without worrying about being whipped. The days seemed to get better. It didn’t take long for each of them to say that they were fat and strong, but they were not skinny anymore.

Wei Wei, who returned to the castle while the bear meat was still fresh, cut off the two front paws and made two steamed bear paws according to the found recipe of the Man Han Quan Banquet, and then invited Felix and Dolores to join taste.

Originally, they wouldn't eat bear paws, but since Wei Wei made them, of course they wouldn't refuse, and the smell of steamed bear paws was very tempting. At a glance, he picked up a knife and fork and ate it.

And the taste is indeed worthy of the title of one of its eight treasures. Felix who eats it wants to go to bear hunting in the future, but he thinks that there are not often bears in Sardinson County, and bears The risk is too high, he better not take risks for such a little appetite.

Wei Wei didn't want him or anyone else to take risks. She just happened to come across this kind of ingredient and wanted to try it. To be honest, it was just as delicious after eating it. For Wei Wei, who has experienced the food bombing of later generations, the taste of bear paws is not as tempting to her as hot pot.

So while eating, Wei Wei suddenly said, "Let's eat hot pot next time."

She hadn't eaten hot pot for more than a year. It was the best time to eat hot pot in winter, but didn't she go to the capital before, she didn't bring any chili peppers when she left, and the life in the capital made her nervous, so naturally There is no time to think about food.

This year, when the new batch of peppers grows well, the peppers are taken and kept for seed. The remaining peppers will be enough for their entire castle to eat for a long time. When winter comes, they will eat hot pot around the stove in the castle. Why? How to feel comfortable.

After eating the bear's paw, Wei Wei got busy again.

Before, only the foundation oil factory was built. The two ends of the distiller originally used in the castle were all sent to the factory. The newly recruited workers were all honest serfs. When they needed to farm again, they moved out of different villages and lived in the dormitory provided by the essential oil factory. They worked ten hours a day and only had two days off each month. They also signed a contract not to disclose the production of essential oils. If someone leaks the secret, what awaits him is the beheading of the whole family.

Human life in this era is very worthless, especially since they are serfs, and their lives belong to the lord. If the lord's order cannot be fulfilled, the lord has the right to do anything to them.

There is a high fence around the essential oil factory, and it is forbidden for people to enter. There are guards patrolling day and night. The confidentiality is actually very high, especially the stills inside are made by Felix. The parts are spliced ​​together again, and the size is extremely huge. Not to mention, the shape and structure are different from the stills used by alchemists now. Unless someone dismantles it and imitates it, it is actually impossible to understand its specificity by looking at the outside. what does it look like.

As long as the serfs who work will not leak their secrets, they can monopolize this business for a long time.

What's more, the essential oils they make will not stay the same forever. The types of essential oils will gradually increase, and the fragrances of perfumes prepared with essential oils will not remain the same. After supplementing enough basic fragrances, they can develop more and more complex fragrances. , and the classic recipe, Wei Wei can find a whole lot.

As for the future, when the keynotes of the perfume are rich enough, perhaps they can also try to cultivate excellent perfumers and develop new perfumes, so that the business can continue.

Since April, flowers in various places have begun to bloom in large numbers. This year, because of the emergence of essential oils and perfumes, people guessed that these things have nothing to do with flowers. Many people secretly bought flowers and went back to study, which caused the price of flowers to rise a lot. , and more and more dried flowers were sent to Sardinson.

And several noble territories near Sardinson also began to plant flowers on a large scale. This is an agreement between them and Felix. The type is determined by him. He will buy all the flowers that will be planted in the end, but it will be more flowers. The quality is given different prices.

In addition, they also signed wheat purchase agreements with some territories. In the past, because of the remote location of these territories, even if there were merchants who came to harvest grain, the price would be very low, but now Sardinson County originally intended to use more High price acquisition, they are of course willing to give up the grain harvester and trade with him instead.

After a new batch of flowers was delivered, Wei Wei finally started making cosmetics.

If she doesn't make a batch and sell it, the letters from the capital will drown her. Among them, Countess Nelson is the most violent. She keeps urging Wei Wei in the letters, just because she is worried that her niece's cosmetics will be damaged. What to do when you run out.

But Wei Wei felt that she was unfounded. The Miss Daisy also wrote to her. In the letter, she did not urge Wei Wei - although she did express her desire for new cosmetics - but told Wei Wei that she was getting along with her fiancé. It was very good, and even once his fiance saw her after taking off her makeup, he didn't show too much disappointment, and he treated her as always after that.

Of course, Miss Daisy thinks this is because the freckles on her face have faded a lot than before, and this credit belongs to Wei Wei, because she has provided her with a lot of freckle methods, and told her that she needs to pay attention to it every day. It made his freckles a lot less, not as scary as before.

Wei Wei was noncommittal about this. Maybe Miss Daisy's freckles were reduced because of her credit, but why her fiancé didn't change his attitude was only clear to him. How is temperament.

But she still wrote back that maybe it was because the other party really loved her and didn't mind such trivial things, and as far as she saw at the time, the atmosphere before the little lovers was really sweet.

Under the urging of so many letters, Wei Wei could no longer try to paddle.

There are so many kinds of cosmetics, she can't make them all at once, so she chose the rouge foundation lipstick and eye shadow first.

Needless to say, rouge needs to use flowers. Although it is cumbersome and time-consuming to make, this kind of thing has been known to women since ancient times, and after researching the production method, mass production is actually not difficult.

And foundation is actually not necessary. After all, women now have foundations that can be used, but she knows that those foundations are made of lead powder and are harmful to the body. Even if she doesn't want to offend people, it's good to make some harmless products. , It can also be mainly used by pregnant women in the future, which is good for adults and fetuses.

Originally, the foundation she made was made by grinding and precipitation of rice according to the ancient recipe. The ones she brought to the capital were made with the rice she cultivated last year. At that time, she felt bad for her. At that time, she also tried to use wheat flour to make foundation, but she suddenly went to Wang and didn't see the final result. When she came back, she found that this method really works. No matter how much rice is wasted, and the flour is used directly, this homemade method takes time to settle, and it is the most time-consuming of the three cosmetics.

Lipsticks mainly need toner for color matching. Sugar is being made every day in the castle, and beetroot is not lacking. A part of the powder is left to make red lipsticks. A lot can be produced in one day, which is suitable as the main product.

Eye shadows, which don’t take much time, are also the main products. Before, there was no mica powder in Sardinson. She wanted to make eye shadows and had to rush to the capital. Now, as long as she releases news in Sardinson, businessmen will send enough mica. Ore, there is no need to worry about the lack of materials.

The only thing to worry about is the manpower.

The formula of cosmetics still needs to be kept secret. The room vacated after the distiller is removed in the castle can be used for blending and production. It is safe to find a trustworthy slave to do these things, but things like mica grinding require effort. Where should she go to find someone to do it, now the powerful people are either farming or building roads and building houses?

The number of slaves is too small, and the serfs are also empty. As for the other free people, Wei Wei is somewhat unconvinced. Right now, it is not known how many people are watching their business, so they have to be more careful. .

However, Wei Wei's luck has always been very good. She is worried that no one can do anything and can only let the only slaves do as much as they can. She even gave the children the work of grinding beetroot, looking at a pile of mica stones and worrying , over there, someone sent someone to her.

When he was in the capital, Felix once greeted the merchants in the slave market, hoping that if they have suitable slaves in the future, they can send them to Sardinson County. No, now there is a slave merchant with a large Bunch of slaves came to Sardinson.

The author has something to say: Wei Wei: lack of people, lack of people, but not everyone can be useful, irritable!
