Chapter 86

Several "chefs" in the small canteen stood in front of a copper basin with their heads held high. Inside the copper basin was their development achievement: cream.

Lilia looked carefully at the yellowish colloid in the copper basin and asked hesitantly, "is this cream?"

A "Chef" flattered: "Mrs. Lilia, this is cream! We spent three days and three nights on four barrels of fresh milk according to the method provided by adults to make such a little."

Lilia was shocked by the complexity and waste of making cream. She was eager to taste the cream.

Lilia asked Victor, "Victor, can I try it?"

Victor was secretly funny. These cooks didn't practice their cooking skills well. They put gold on their faces until they were cured. In fact, the method of making natural cream is very simple. Just put the fresh milk overnight, pick up the top layer of milk skin, put the milk skin into the leather bag, beat and knead repeatedly, and gradually become cream. However, this method takes a lot of time to make cream, and the amount of cream extracted is very small. As a lord, Victor naturally asked the cook in the small canteen to do such simple and time-consuming things.

Although the cream has been made, God knows if he can eat it. Anyway, Victor is not interested in trying it and won't let his women try it, so he coughed and said to several cooks.

"Well, I told you earlier that as a chef, you should be responsible for your own works. You must taste the taste before you can provide it to guests. This is a necessary professional quality for a chef, you know? This is professional quality!"

Victor's words made several "chefs" respectful. One by one, they looked serious and reserved, took out spoons and tasted the cream piously.

Seeing the aftertaste on the faces of several cooks, Lilia asked curiously, "how's it? Is it delicious?"

"No taste."

"No, it's a little sour."

These guys said in a chat. They couldn't believe that the cream they had spent most of their time making didn't taste.

"Failed?" Lilia asked Victor with a lost face.

With a smile, Victor took out a box of sucrose and told the chefs, "add the sucrose, stir well and try again."

When the crystal sucrose was added, the slightly sour cream immediately changed qualitatively.

"Delicious!"

"Sweet and fragrant!"

Several chefs were so excited that Nelson and Lilia couldn't help but taste it. The sweet and smooth taste really surprised them.

Lilia smiled and said, "Victor, this cream is delicious."

"My Lord! Let's not sell cream to those unscrupulous caravans. We can certainly make money by selling it in the goat hotel!" Nelson said excitedly.

Victor shook his head: "we don't sell cream! We have to spread the method of making cream!"

When aristocrats eat bread, they will smear honey on the bread or add dried preserved fruit to improve the taste. However, honey is produced in the wild, the price is high, and the output is still very unstable. So Victor thought of using cream and sucrose instead of honey. However, the production of butter made by indigenous method is limited and difficult to preserve, so there are no conditions for production and sale. Victor decided to simply disclose the method of making cream to help the promotion of sucrose.

Nelson believed Victor's means. He asked directly, "Sir, what are you going to do?"

Victor looked at several cooks and said with a smile, "let our chef go to the goat hotel to make bread."

A carriage stopped in front of a courtyard in the enfeoffment area of Heibao town. From the carriage came a well-dressed middle-aged man named Ryan, an enfeoffor of the York family.

Ryan's family has served the York family for seven generations. In Ryan's generation, the family has accumulated more than 900 mu of fief, a dairy farm, a carpenter's workshop and a blacksmith's shop.

Ryan has three sons and two daughters. The eldest son, as the successor of the family, took the place of Ryan and directly incorporated into the tusk army to become a soldier. After several years of efforts and Ryan's contacts, he has become a small captain. Ryan's second son was entrusted by Ryan to the command of the urban defense officer of Heibao town. When he became a urban defense soldier, he might be granted land by the York family and become a vassal in a few years. Of course, it also depends on Ryan's management. His eldest daughter married the eldest son of another vassal.

In addition, some of Ryan's blood relatives are also vassals of the York family, which makes the Ryan family powerful in the vassal class, but Ryan is not satisfied.

Ryan once wanted to send his second son and eldest daughter to the Lord to become servants and maidens, but his children's looks were really ordinary and were not selected. The second daughter of the old neighbor rum was chosen. Ryan hated his teeth when he saw the proud face of the old rum.

Now, the territory area of the York family is more than twice as large as before. The vassals of the York family are all eager to win more land and higher status.

In peacetime, it is very slow to improve the family status by accumulating meritorious deeds, so it is a shortcut for children to become servants of noble lords, and the competition is also very fierce.

So Ryan raised a beautiful young mistress and bought her a house in Heibao town. Ryan just wants to have some beautiful illegitimate children so that he can be sent to be a servant or maid.

This woman is also proud. She has given birth to a son and a daughter for Ryan in recent years, that is, Ryan's young son and daughter. Today Ryan came to see them.

When Ryan got out of the carriage, the old housekeeper Bobby came up.

"Good day, master!"

Ryan walked to the courtyard with a slight jaw. As a superior, he had his own dignity, not to mention that his brother depended on him for food.

"Here you are, sir!"

A beautiful woman greeted Ryan with a smile. She was boosha, Ryan's mistress. Busa was 30 years old. She was wearing a fine linen dress with exquisite workmanship. A lizard skin belt was tied around her waist, which set off a slim waist and rich hips, and also made her plump chest look more straight. The snow-white on her chest made Ryan feel hot in her heart.

Ryan is 54 years old this year, but his body is still strong after years of hard exercise. When he sees the charming and moving appearance of his mistress, he feels that he is a teenager.

Ryan walked up to busa, grabbed his mistress's thin waist, smiled and said, "busa, why are you so beautiful today?"

"What? Haven't I looked good before?"

Seeing Ryan's lustful appearance, busa was very proud. Although this rich and powerful man was older, he could provide her with a good life. She should firmly grasp it.

"Also good-looking, also good-looking." Ryan said flatteringly, and the dignity of the superior was completely gone.

Ryan tightened his arm and was about to take the beauty in. When he was warm, he heard two young children's voices.

"Give it back! That's my sugar!"

"No, come and catch me."

The two children ran out one after another. His 7-year-old son ran in front and his 5-year-old daughter ran behind.

Seeing her father here, the little girl immediately ran over crying and shook Ryan's clothes.

"Dad! My brother robbed my sugar. Help me get it back."

Ryan held his little daughter in his arms and coaxed with pity: "Nana, don't cry, Dad, I'll help you get it back."

"Andy, come here! What did you rob your sister?" Ryan scolded his young son with a straight face.

Andy handed the sugar cube in his hand in fear. He knew that his father always loved his sister more.

Of course, Ryan should love his little daughter more. The little girl looks like busa. She is like a model. She is a standard beauty. In fact, with Busha's beauty, she can become the Lord's maid. Unfortunately, the noble maid must be selected from the daughters of the vassal. Ryan just wants to send his little daughter to the noble master as a maid when she is 15 or 6 years old. Maybe he can be liked by the noble knight master. If he is lucky to be pregnant with the knight's blood, it's best. Even if he can't become a close maid in the end, Ryan won't marry Nana, but let the noble child be born in his own home. It will change the fate of his family. In contrast, young children are not so refined and expensive.

"What is this?" Ryan took the purple square and asked suspiciously.

"Sir, this is sugar cube. It's a kind of snack in town recently." The old housekeeper replied respectfully.

"Dad! Dad! Give it to me! I want to eat!"

Nana stretched out her tender white hand to get the candy in her father's hand, but Ryan didn't give it to her.

"How can you give this kind of food to the children? What if something goes wrong?" Ryan asked the housekeeper sternly.

"It doesn't matter. I let people eat it first. There's no problem at all, and many people in the town eat this square sugar." Busa Jiao smiled.

Ryan looked at it and smelled it again. He put the sugar cube to his mouth and licked it. He immediately felt a trace of sweetness. He couldn't help but put the whole sugar cube into his mouth. The sugar cube melted at the entrance, accompanied by a sweet taste.

"There's honey in here?! busa, how can you buy such expensive things for the children?"

Ryan was surprised and complained about the extravagance of his little wife. There were 10 gold sols a pound of honey. An official like him really couldn't afford to eat. Even if he could afford to eat, he didn't dare to give his children snacks. This would make people jealous!

"Do you think I'm such a sensible person?" Busha twisted Ryan's ear and said angrily, "this is a square sugar made of crude sugar. It's only 45 copper ropes a pound. It's made of purple sugarcane!"

"Ah! So cheap?" Ryan was stunned by the price.

"Wow, my sugar cube." Nana burst into tears. She was sure that the sugar cube had been eaten by her father and would never come out again.

Ryan hugged the daughter and said to busa painfully, "give Nana another cube sugar."

"It's gone. That's the last piece. Why did you eat it!?" Busa took over her crying daughter and coaxed her into complaining.

Ryan blushed awkwardly and shouted to the housekeeper, "what are you doing here? Don't buy it quickly! Remember to sell more, and I'll take some back!"

"Sir, the crude sugar in the town has been sold out. According to boss John, who sells crude sugar, the next batch will wait ten days!"

The sad news made Nana cry even more sad.

————————————

"I don't know how Archie does things! Sucrose, crude sugar, such important information hasn't been sent back!"

The count of York walked restlessly, and his mood was terrible.

Sylvia looked at her husband anxiously and sighed slightly. Only when it comes to money can he act like a man in front of him.

"What's strange about this? Azir has long told us that Victor blocked the upper camp and used purple sugarcane to develop something, but azir didn't know that it was sucrose." Sylvia said faintly.

"It's no surprise! In ten days, 3000 pounds of crude sugar were sold out. Originally, these could be stated in the franchise agreement, but now there are variables!" Said the count of York gloomily.

"Are you worried that Sophia will get involved in the crude sugar and sucrose business?" Sylvia picked the delicate willow eyebrows.

"I'm afraid Sophia will pull Victor back. This boy is like a hen who can lay golden eggs. You insist on making Victor our vassal. I foolishly opposed it at the beginning. Now it seems that you are wise." The count of York shook his head and smiled bitterly.

After reading Victor's franchise agreement, count York agreed with both hands and feet. The vassal only needs to pay 50% of the property to the Lord, while the franchise agreement stipulates 100% franchise of purple cane wine, which is more beneficial to the York family.

"There's no need to worry. Sophia and I have an agreement. In fact, she has given up little victor." Sylvia laughed.

"In the eyes of the business nobility, only interests are the most important. Any agreement is bullshit! It's hard for us to refuse Sophia. After all, she is providing us with cheap food and iron."

The York family's migration to the human horse hills is not without losses. They have lost hundreds of thousands of mu of cultivated land, various minerals and complete sets of infrastructure, which need to be built from scratch. Before that, they can't do without the support of trade.

"How rude! Enbisser, you are proficient in business but underestimate politics. Baron Villepin will solve this problem for us."
