Arcane Lord

Chapter 2778 Life Style Fruit Business

"Please, Lord, please come here in person, it's really—"

When he first met Xia Duo, Angtuo was a little excited and a little reserved, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I heard that you inherited the wizard's heritage from the Kaban tribe. I came here this time to learn about the wizard's spell-casting process, how to control external elements, and how to practice as a beginner?"

"That's it!"

Angtuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and invited Xia Duo, "Sir, please go inside and rest for a while. These issues are still a bit complicated to talk about."

"good."

Xia Duo did not refuse. In fact, he had always visited the grassroots in the past, but he did not happen to come to Angtuo's house, nor did he talk to the wizard about primitive witchcraft.

Angtuo's home is the style of ordinary citizens in Daxia Territory, and of course it is the part of the land that has been granted land. Xia Duo remembers that Xinsan Village was an early land granting village, and it was originally full of wooden houses.

But now most of them have been replaced by brick houses. From this point of view, the territory’s early strategy of focusing on supporting brick-making workshops was very appropriate.

There are few stone resources near Daxia Territory. There are only some stones and small stone mountains scattered in the forest. If you are further away, you need to go to Savile to collect them, or develop them from the Wolf God Mountain in the south.

This was not a good choice, so Xia Duo chose to develop a brick-making workshop. The leveling of forest land and the widening of rivers near the territory would produce a large amount of raw soil.

Coupled with the large amounts of wood left over from clearing forests, the development of brickmaking was a natural fit.

Of course, even without this condition, Xia Duo would still choose brickmaking as the territory's priority development industry. After all, it would be too shabby for the territory's residents to live in wooden houses.

The Langas are nomadic people and rarely build buildings in settlements. Most of them live in tents, but that is more of a no-choice. If they have a choice, of course they would prefer to live in solid brick houses. in.

The Antuo family's house seemed a bit muddy to Chateau, but the front and back of the house had been cleaned very clean, and a small vegetable patch had been opened on the side.

Although it is still winter, there are also vegetables that can survive the winter. In Xia Duo, you can even see fresh traces of recent pickings.

Entering the house, you will find all the furniture. This is also due to the policy of cultivating craftsmen for all people that Xia Duo advocated at the beginning. He abandoned the apprenticeship system in the past and organized the people to learn various crafts from the beginning.

For example, a stonemason (actually a mason) originally originated from a slave.

There are more people learning various crafts, and then the territory organizes exchanges and learning. Points can be earned and one can improve oneself at the same time. Almost everyone participates enthusiastically.

Even now, although the overall frequency of communication is lower, the number of students is countless times more than in the past. The workshop is like a training school, learning while doing, and the efficiency is very high.

As long as they are willing, any subject can learn a practical craft.

…

Of course, the most eye-catching thing in Onto's house are the two magic lamps that are not consistent with the style of the room. One is hung on the roof, and the other is portable, similar to the horse lanterns of the past, and can be carried around.

When Chateau came in, Angtuo was worried that there was not enough light in the house, so he turned on the light on the roof. As soon as he turned on the light, soft light immediately filled the whole house.

Seeing this scene, Xia Duo couldn't help but feel happy, not because of the indoor environment, but because of his efforts, his subjects really lived a completely different life from before.

"My lord, please wait a moment."

After Xia Duo sat down, Angtuo turned around and went to another room, and brought out a plate of fruit. If what he just saw and heard was expected, then this plate of fruit really shocked Xia Duo.

"I remember that there shouldn't be a fruit shop in the territory yet, right?"

"Sir, my wife brought this back from Savile Town. It's very fast to take a steam train there. There are also horse-drawn carriages from Baiyang Village to Savile Town. You only need two gold coins to ride there and back."

The fare of two gold coins is actually not low even for today's official citizens of Daxia, but it is definitely not unaffordable. It is just a day's salary.

"No one transports fruits to the south to sell them?" Xia Duo asked curiously.

"In fact, there were some at the beginning, but the prices of those vendors increased very quickly. It was better to go to Savile Town to buy them cheaper. Someone in a village to the south of us was organizing a chamber of commerce and planned to go directly to Conifera City to purchase goods. , then you can make a lot of money whether you open a store or wholesale to other traders."

You know how to go out of season, Xia Duo sighed in his heart, and then asked, "Have you never thought about making some fruit sounds?"

"hey-hey."

Angtuo touched his head, with a hint of cunning in his honest smile, "I also invested in it."

"That's a good relationship, but if you're doing business, remember to pay your taxes on time!"

"Yes, yes, we will keep the Daxia Code in mind at all times! We will never evade taxes!"

…

"By the way, how is the magic stove working? Do you think it needs improvement?"

The main purpose of Xia Duo's trip here is indeed to ask the wizard about issues related to the control of primitive power. However, as a lord, it is clearly the lord's responsibility to observe. When he comes to the people's homes, he must also care about people's livelihood issues.

After all, I came here, but I can't leave without understanding anything. That would be too remiss.

When it came to the magic stove, Angtuo became more interested, "Lord, I have never used such a useful thing. In the past, it was not easy for us to make a fire on the grassland. We usually kept the fire at all times.

"But now that we have the magic stove, we don't need to think about fire at all, and we don't need to reserve fuel in advance. We can cook whenever we want. It's so convenient!"

Angtuo went through all the benefits and advantages of the magic stove in one breath. Some of them were repetitive, but Angtuo didn't care at all, which shows his love for this kind of household magic appliance.

But after talking about so many advantages, the magic stove is not completely perfect, and there are also shortcomings. In this regard, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com Angtuo mentioned:

"Although the magic stove is very convenient and does not require fuel, after using it for such a long time, I found that it is more suitable for cooking and baking, and is not suitable for other tasks such as frying."

Angtuo's opinion has actually been thought of by Xia Duo a long time ago. After all, the magic stove uses the form of fire element field for heating, and it heats evenly, similar to a microwave oven or an oven.

The most suitable method is boiling, but roasting is actually somewhat inappropriate since there is no open flame after all.

Not to mention frying. The fire element field exists in space and cannot concentrate the heat to the bottom of the pot, which makes frying difficult.

If it were in other places, the magic stove might be enough, but in Daxia Territory, Xia Duo brought over the delicacies from his hometown, and the recipes were so rich that even the magic stove couldn't handle it.

The reason why this magic stove was launched in the first place was more to consider starting from scratch, and then further improvement would be considered. Of course, the citizens have the right to enjoy a better life.

However, the improvement of magic stoves does not necessarily need to be done by the territory official. In the future, new mages of the Tower of Time can consider this field for employment!
