What is it like to be a teacher as a magister?

Chapter 185 Eggs and Milk

Sofia now lives on the plantation almost every day.

Each minister can have an independent office on the ground floor of the castle, but they can also set up temporary offices in their respective working places.

Sophia not only set up the office in the plantation, but even moved all the bedrooms to the side. Sophia is the one Colin sees the least now. This girl can stay out of the plantation for a month if she has nothing to do.

The name Twilight Plantation often gives the illusion of a farm.

In fact, its current range extends for nearly thirty miles from the side of the fortress. If you look down from the air, you can find that it covers almost all the foothills of the Dragon's Back Mountain Range around the fortress.

The name of the plantation seems inappropriate now, because in addition to crops, animal husbandry is also one of Sophia's jobs.

Since the first batch of livestock was slaughtered more than a year ago, meat food has been on the tables of Twilight City.

But as Colin said, it was only the first time that the people smelled meat at that time. Even now, meat is still something that people eat during festivals.

The cycle of animal husbandry is much longer than that of planting with natural magic bonuses, so the development speed is much slower.

Sophia was recording the milking of a cow when Colin found her.

"Are you doing this kind of thing yourself?" Lord Xia Ya was very curious about what his Minister of Agriculture was doing all day long.

"You said that you want all the children in Winter City to drink milk every day."

At the beginning, Sophia was often embarrassed to work in the field in front of others because of her status and etiquette, but now, the Minister of Agriculture has already left all these behind her, let alone working in the field, even He dared to do things like deliver cows and milk cows by himself.

"This matter is very important. I found that the quality of our pasture is directly related to the milk production of cows, and this batch of improved pasture has the best effect so far. If the expected goal is achieved, the task you assigned, I will Even if it’s done.” Sophia was still staring at the cow while speaking.

After hearing this, Colin remembered that he had indeed given such an order.

At that time, the work was called the "Eggs and Milk" project.

Meaning, for one year, provide all students in the school with an egg and a glass of milk per day.

This goal was not difficult at first, and it was even achieved once. However, since regaining all the territories, the number of students suddenly increased to more than 8000, which added a lot of pressure to Sofia.

Today, that goal seems to be within reach.

"If this experiment is successful, at least in terms of milk, we can supply more than 2 people every day." Sophia said proudly: "The number of our chicken coops is also steadily increasing."

In magical biology, it is far more difficult to optimize the cultivation of animals than plants, and Colin has never focused on this aspect of learning, so meat, eggs, and milk food can only rely on Ordinary means develop slowly.

After recording all the data, Sophia stood up and saluted Colin: "I have seen you, sir."

"Thank you." Colin said sincerely.

Although Xia Ya's foundation is very poor and the starting point is very low, Ke Lin always feels lucky because almost everyone he meets is excellent, and he is willing to work with him to build Xia Ya better.

"For Xia Ya."

Since the last meeting, this sentence seems to have become the mantra of mutual encouragement when the fortress executives meet.Originally, it was followed by a sentence of "for the lord", but it was rejected by Colin after hearing it.

"By the way, my lord, according to the plan you gave, we will increase the area of ​​arable land by one-fifth this year, but in terms of manpower, I wonder if we need to increase some. The current 6000 people on the plantation side have divided a lot. To undertake livestock work."

Sophia tidied up her overalls. This dress is already the third version of the plantation overalls. Apart from retaining its advantages of wear resistance, it mainly changed the style designed by the original lord on a whim, otherwise Sophia thought it would be so ugly. Clothes can affect worker productivity.

"The name of the plantation doesn't seem appropriate anymore." Colin said, "I suggest changing the name to Twilight Farm, which is divided into two parts: the plantation and the animal husbandry. As for the manpower, I will add another 4000 people to you. How to allocate it? You can figure it out yourself. However, the number of people on the farm will not increase in the short term, Wald is researching some machinery that can be used on the farm, and in the future we will mainly focus on improving efficiency."

"Mechanical?" Sophia was taken aback: "What kind of machine?"

"You will know when the time comes." Colin smiled and said, "I remember Miss Sophia was able to do all the work on ten acres of land by herself?"

"Yes." Sophia raised her head proudly: "I can do it now."

"That's because you are a magician who is good at the soil element." Colin said: "But if an ordinary person can take care of ten acres of land by himself, and the output will not decrease, what do you think?"

"Ordinary people?" Sophia asked in surprise, "How is that possible?"

……

Henry belongs to the most diligent group of students in the school. Because he transferred to the magic apprenticeship class halfway, he thinks that his foundation is weaker than others, and he can only rely on hard work to make up for it.

However, today, more than a year later, even though his grades are already among the best in the class, he still has no slack.

He was the last group to leave school every day and the first group to arrive in the morning.

In addition to studying, the most important thing is for the three meals of the school.

Most of the students are like him in this regard. Even if the children's meal is no longer missing at home, the students still like school meals.

Henry, as usual, came to the cafeteria to receive a free breakfast.

Half loaf of brown bread, half loaf of white bread, with vegetables and beans in between, is a standard breakfast.But unlike usual, the aunt who distributed the food to him added an extra egg and a glass of milk to his plate.

Henry knew this aunt.

In the past, the school could only eat meat once a week, and it was boiled in white water. This aunt was often disgusted by her classmates because her hands shook when she beat the meat.

Henry held the breakfast a little strangely, and asked, "Mrs. Joma, is it a holiday today?"

"No, every day from now on." The aunt replied without raising her head.

"available everyday?"

"Yes, hurry up, there are people behind you."

"Oh." Henry hurried away to make room for the next person.

"Mrs. Joma, what holiday is it today?" The next student asked the same question.

Auntie has obviously answered this question many times, and said impatiently: "No, every day from now on."

"Every day?" This man is simply Henry's repeater.

"If you ask again, there will be no more!" The aunt shouted.
