[Chapter 49]
“Father, do you really want to uproot all these pepper trees after harvesting the peppercorns?” A townsman who came to help clean up the field said a little distressedly: “Pepper trees are perennial plants, but they can only be harvested once. Yes, peppers can be picked every year. These pepper trees have grown to such a large size that it would be a shame to have them uprooted after only one wave of peppercorns.”
“Yeah.” Another townsman also said Said: “As long as it lives well, it will produce a lot of pepper next year, which can be sold for a lot of money.”
“One year is too slow.” Robb said: “You can’t grow pepper trees in one day. They are not good trees, they are all pulled up.” The
townspeople: “…”
There is no reason to talk to this deranged priest, and one townsman said boldly: “Father, can I make a point of being unkind? Please, you have to unplug them and throw them away anyway, why don’t you give me a few plants and I will move them back to my own field. Even if the temperature and humidity are not very suitable, as long as you take care of them, it may be possible next year. Harvest.”
Another townsman also shouted: “I want it too, I want it too!”
All the townspeople who came to help suddenly shouted: “I want a few plants too.”
Robb smiled: ” Okay. , whoever wants to dig it up! But act fast, don’t hinder me from planting a batch of seeds.”
After saying this, the whole field of pepper trees was dug up by the townspeople in a blink of an eye. They picked the peppercorns from the tree, put them in a bag, and handed them over to Lillian. Then they carried the peppercorns and ran very fast. They ran home in a blink of an eye, planted the peppercorns in the best place in the house, and prepared to thin Looking forward to harvesting tomorrow.
Pepper is more precious than gold, and as long as this thing is full of trees, it can make a family rich.
If she changed to the usual Lilian, she would definitely feel distressed that her own crops had finally grown and were poached by others, but now she is holding a few big bags of peppercorns just picked, her face is full of confusion, even There is nothing to do with the field.
After the field was hollowed out, the townspeople leveled it again. Then Robb took note of the time, grabbed a handful of freshly picked peppercorns, and sowed them into the field. The pepper was well watered, and then in an instant he was lazy again on the stone chair.
Lillian said in a trembling voice: “Master, you just planted and watered and didn’t ask me to help. Could it be that this batch of newly planted peppers can be harvested in just one day?”
“Wow, my Lillian He’s so smart, he can already draw conclusions.” Robb clapped his hands and smiled: “In the future, all the crops I plant will be harvested in just one day.”
“Wow, master is amazing, master, you will plant a batch of crops every day from now on. Crops, our family is about to make a fortune.”
“No!” Robb hummed: “I only move when the four basic needs of food, clothing, housing, and use cannot be met. I’m just too lazy to take action. Satisfying my need for laziness with minimal actions is my way of life in the future.”
“Master, Miss Sister said, you are wrong. Laziness is one of the seven deadly sins. It ‘s not good.”
“Don’t listen to the nonsense of that nun, I will tell you secretly, she has been degraded by 10% after living in our house for one day, and she will stay with us when she returns from the necromancer. In a few days, she will become more lazy than I am, if you don’t believe me, you will see.”
In a blink of an eye, five days passed.
This is the last day of the itinerant merchant’s stay in Xifeng Town. In the past five days, he has made a lot of money in Xifeng Town. This batch of cloth, salt, spices, pepper and other items have been sold for seven or eight. Eighth, almost all of the savings that the residents of West Wind Town had saved through hard work fell into the pockets of itinerant merchants.
Clicking on his own harvest, the dwarf merchant’s eyes couldn’t help but smile.
An armed male servant came over and whispered, “Master, it’s time for us to make an appointment to go to the priest to buy pepper.”
“Oh, yes!” The dwarf businessman laughed: “The last thing before leaving Westwind Town is to visit the priest. Although we don’t know what he is doing, we can’t offend a priest of the Holy See of Light. , otherwise it will be impossible to move in the whole world, even if he can only take out ten pitiful peppers, we must hold back, not laugh, we must remain respectful, pretend to admire him, praise him loudly, and save his face .” The
servants shrugged, all smiles on their faces.
The dwarf merchant walked in front, armed servants guarding his wagon behind, through the town.
A servant suddenly pointed in surprise at the yard of a townsman’s house and shouted: “Master, look, isn’t that…isn’t that a pepper tree? And it’s a very mature pepper tree, even taller than a person.
” Huh?” The dwarf merchant rubbed his eyes: “It’s really a pepper tree, damn it, this thing can only grow healthily in the far east, how can you see such a good-looking pepper tree in Westwind Town?”
“Strange . Come on, master, look at this one, too.” shouted the armed servant.
The dwarf businessman followed his servant’s finger, and sure enough, in the yard of a townsman by the road in front of him, there were actually several pepper trees, all of which were taller than a person, healthy and strong. Good tree for harvesting a bunch of peppercorns.
“Master, this family has it too!”
“Oh my God, this family has it too.”
“It’s impossible, this family has it too.”
“What the hell?” The dwarf businessman almost jumped up: “I have every two in this broken town in Xifeng Town. Once a month, I have never seen a pepper tree here, why all of a sudden, there are pepper trees everywhere? What the hell is this?”
He knocked on the door of a townsman, and the townsman knocked on the door. As soon as he came out of the house, the dwarf merchant asked impatiently, “Why are there so many pepper trees in your town all of a sudden?”
The townsman smiled and said, “It was given to us by the priest. The God of Light performed a miracle and made the pepper planted in the private field in the church germinate overnight. The fruit is ripe and ready to be harvested. After he harvested the pepper, he put The pepper trees were given to us, and many farmers brought a few plants home and planted them. Next year, our West Wind Town will become a town rich in pepper, and everyone will be rich.” The
dwarf businessman: “…”
He began to feel that something was wrong . Now, I quickly took my men and rushed to the church with the fastest speed. I saw Robb sitting on the stone chair in the yard, looking very leisurely. In the field next to him, a field of peppers was growing. Tree, a group of townspeople are helping him to harvest peppercorns. After harvesting a peppercorn on the tree, the townspeople will dig out the whole pepper tree with the soil, then carry it up and run to their own home.
