Chapter 78 Pearl Culture (First Update)
Russell mentioned the need to develop new pastries.

Mrs. Brown understood immediately: "Master, do you want me to try some new flavor recipes like Mrs. Moore?"

Now everyone in the manor knew that Mrs. Moore, with Russell's authorization, began to develop new dishes.

Not only at the banquets in the castle, one or two strange dishes would appear from time to time.

When meals are served in the servants' dining room, an inexplicable dish appears at almost every meal. Then Mrs. Moore would wipe her hands on her apron while looking forward to the comments from the servants after they finished the dish.

Most of the time, the reviews are negative.

But it occasionally received positive reviews, so Mrs. Moore happily presented this new dish with good reviews to Russell.

Of course, there are not many new dishes that can really get Russell's approval.

There was only one fish soup with ginger and green onion, which was highly praised by Russell. It was a must-have dish for every banquet and became Mrs. Moore's specialty. It was even named "Secret Ginger and Scallion Fish Soup" by Russell, who considered it to be comparable to Blind Dragon Soup.

For example, Charles, Eric and others also believe that the secret ginger and green onion fish soup is a delicious dish suitable for meals.

"Not just a new recipe, but also a new style." Russell quickly revealed the idea of ​​steamed buns.

However, he vaguely knew that the flour needed for steamed buns and the flour needed for bread seemed to be different.

It seems that high-gluten flour is used for making bread, and all-purpose flour is used for steaming steamed buns.

of course.

In his previous life, Russell didn't know how to steam steamed buns, and could only simply stir-fry a few side dishes, so he could only tell Mrs. Brown a rough idea of ​​how to make steamed buns, and Mrs. Brown needed to figure out the rest.

"Don't be afraid of waste, try different flours, make the results closest to steamed buns, and then slowly improve."

"Don't worry, sir, I will study the steamed buns carefully." Mrs. Brown responded.

"Okay, I look forward to your research results."

The food revolution needs to be done step by step. Now Mrs. Moore is developing stir-fries and other Chinese dishes, and the pasta is left to Mrs. Brown.

One day, Russell believes that he will be able to eat a table of local food.

Mrs. Brown happily went back to steaming steamed buns, and Russell picked up the book he had put down before. It was a heroic epic called "Song of the Volcano", which told a legendary story of a dragon knight in the form of a short narrative poem.

About three thousand years ago, there was a heroic knight named Seacroft.

Seacroft is three meters tall. He was abandoned by his parents on the snowfield when he was a child. He was raised by the wolves that roamed the snowfield.

Born with a lot of fighting spirit, he can fight snow ghosts at a young age.

It is said that he has eaten countless ice beads since he was a child, so he is not afraid of severe cold, snow ghosts, and even dares to provoke snow monsters. Until he reached adulthood, he was discovered by the knights of a certain kingdom and brought back to the kingdom, where he fell in love with the princess.

This is what Russell sees now.

But he guessed that in the next plot, Seacroft must be gifted, so he could enter the volcano, save the dying dragon in the kingdom, and then become a dragon knight, staying and flying with the princess.

"It's not interesting. It's just like Lao Bai's books, bland and boring." Russell didn't lose interest in reading for a while.

He got up and left the manor courtyard.

The knights in the retinue are all busy. After all, today is the officials' first day on duty, and there is too much work to do.

"Woof!" Fortunately, with Kevin on guard, Russell's safety was guaranteed.

Although Kevin is Eric's contracted fantasy beast, he knows very well that it was Russell who saved him, so he is quite close to Russell. Coupled with the improved intelligence, it can clearly accept Russell's various instructions.

"Come on Kevin, let's go to the potion farm and see how the potions are growing." Russell got on his horse and left with Kevin.

After a while, we arrived at the Potion Village.

There were many serfs busy in the farmland. After seeing Russell, they bowed and saluted, and then continued to work hard in the fields.

"That's right, dill has sprouted." There are green sprouts unearthed in the farmland. This magic potion does not require careful maintenance. In fact, dill itself is a widely cultivated spice. Especially when cooking beef and mutton, sprinkle with ground dill to enhance the flavor.

However, magic potion dill cannot be used as a spice. It is too luxurious. Making magic potions is in line with its value.

Knight training has a huge demand for magic potions.

Russell, for example, takes a magic potion that can boil fighting spirit every morning and evening class. Occasionally, he also takes a magic potion that can strengthen fighting spirit when he meditates. Nobles can rule firmly with fighting spirit, and magic potion plays an indispensable role.

Walking through the dill potion field, and then the rainflower potion field.

Yujiuhua has also sprouted.

Then we entered the birch forest. Each birch tree produced a subtle magical aura and was transforming into a magic material.

You can see that the branches of many birch trees have been cut off.

Then the serfs took cuttings to expand the area of ​​the birch forest.

In addition, tiny green fluorescent mushrooms have emerged from the trunks of many birch trees, clusters like will-o'-the-wisps.

"The symbiosis is very good." Russell said happily.

After making sure that the potions and materials were growing healthily, he stopped paying attention. Instead, he walked to the bank of the Youguang River and looked at the rolling river water.

With the arrival of the warm season, the temperature is rising day by day, and the snow in the Youguang River Valley is melting, causing the water level of the Youguang River to surge.

"After this period of rising water, and the water level and flow rate of the river stabilize, we can send people down to the river to catch river mussels." Russell thought silently.

He also plans to cultivate river mussels artificially to grow pearls.

If pearls could be artificially bred, it would be equivalent to contracting a bipedal flying dragon, which would continuously produce magical pearls.

"What a huge profit! I just don't know if I can grow pearls, and the yield of pearls is difficult to guarantee, but no matter what, I have to give it a try." Russell rode slowly along the river bank, carefully looking for a suitable location for digging a pond.

Finally, at the junction of Magic Potion Village and Maimai Village, where the Youguang River turns, a depression suitable for digging a pond was found.

"We'll arrange for people to dig during the off-season. No, there's no rush. Let's dig a small pond in front of the manor and experiment with how to cultivate pearls." Russell thought for a while and felt that he shouldn't be too eager for quick success and quick gains, without even testing his technology. Excavation.

If cultured pearls fail, the pond will be dug in vain.

"Go back first."

In the evening, Charles, Eric, Old Hans and others came to report on today's work and have a dinner.

Russell asked Old Hans: "Who is the best at catching river clams in the manor?"

"If I want to say that the best at catching fish and shrimps, it has to be Jimmy Pork Ribs. Every year, the Baron sends people to ask for river fresh food. I always arrange for Jimmy Pork Ribs to take people down the river to catch river fresh food."

"Send someone to call Jimmy the Spare Ribs. I have a task to give him."

"Yes, sir."

A quarter of an hour later, Jimmy Spare Ribs was brought over by Old Hans. He was a dark-skinned, lean young man.

"Say hello to the master." Jimmy Pork Ribs had a flattering smile on his face.

"Do you dare to go down to catch clams in such a fast river?" Russell pointed to the Youguang River outside the window.

Pork Ribs Jimmy replied without hesitation: "I'm going to catch some river clams for the master right now!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the manor courtyard.

Then he plunged into the Youguang River, took a few breaths to swim back to the shore, already holding two fat river clams in his hands.
