To put it bluntly, the matter of Hyer was just a small episode. If he had not broken his oath, he would not have been worthy of Marquis Daniel's attention, let alone so many words.
But this did not stop Marquis Daniel from joking with Krober.
"Look at it, it's only been a short time, and someone has the foresight to place their bets on you. You truly deserve to be my grandson, you're truly outstanding!"
The teasing words came from the mouth of Marquis Daniel next to Krober, making Krober roll his eyes.
Only when he's with his family can Kroeber make some slightly more appropriate body language for his age, like rolling his eyes, which he wouldn't be able to do under normal circumstances.
However, for Marquis Daniel, this was because his grandson had a close relationship with him. Instead of getting angry, he laughed even louder.
"Okay, Grandpa, it's noon now. It's almost time to eat. I'll take you to taste some of the good stuff I found in the waters near Kuroba Island."
Considering that this was his grandfather's first visit to the territory, Clobert prepared a lot of novel foods that could not be found in Huaguan City.
Marquis Daniel didn't think much about it. As a marquis, what had he not eaten?
He just thought that his grandson was worried that he was hungry after traveling so far, and looking at the time, it was indeed almost time for dinner, so he got up and followed Krober to the restaurant for dinner.
The servants of the castle had already placed the food prepared by Krober on everyone's table.
It is worth mentioning that this world practices the separate dining system, which is a way of dining in which staple foods and dishes are distributed into tableware according to the principle of equal quantities for each diner to enjoy alone.
Behind each seat at the table, there is a servant responsible for adding food and pouring wine for the guests.
In preparation for this reception, Clobert recruited a group of temporary servants from the territory a few days in advance to serve food and take care of the guests.
As everyone arrived at the restaurant, a rich and fragrant aroma hit them in the face.
This fragrance is mixed with the saltiness of the sea breeze, but it is not fishy. Instead, it has a certain sweet feeling.
Everyone took their seats, looking forward to what kind of delicious food Krober would treat them this time. The smell alone sounded so delicious.
Krober clapped his hands, and servants came in one after another, holding exquisite ceramic plates in their hands - these were the tableware that Krober bought from overseas merchants at a high price.
When they opened the lid, they found a kind of green leafy vegetable in the plate that they had never seen before. It looked wilted and did not seem very fresh.
Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Krober smiled and explained to them:
"This is a plant I discovered in the waters near Kuroba Island. I named it Bigleaf Seaweed. It's packed with nutrients, the most obvious of which is that it can cure goiter. It also has a strong sense of fullness. After drying, it can be stored as portable military rations. It's rich in salt, which can greatly improve the family's current situation of spending a large amount of money importing refined salt every year."
After hearing Krober's introduction, everyone turned their attention to the ordinary green plants on the plate, as if they couldn't believe that these inconspicuous "weeds" could have such effects.
Marquis Daniel was knowledgeable and quickly recovered from his surprise. He used cutlery to roll up some seaweed from the plate and put it into his mouth.
The moment it entered his mouth, Marquis Daniel's eyes widened slightly, and he felt an unprecedented experience in his mouth.
crisp!
After being chewed by teeth, the seaweed collides in the mouth and is crispy. This is the first feeling that seaweed brings to Marquis Daniel.
salty!
When the seaweed is bitten open, a small amount of juice is contained in it, which tastes very salty. The salt that symbolizes saltiness is very expensive in the territory of the Golden Rose Family.
Seeing that Marquis Daniel had already started eating, everyone put the seaweed into their mouths. Under the dual stimulation of the fresh experience and the flavor of the sea on their taste buds, they all showed satisfied expressions.
"It's really delicious! It's like being surrounded by the sea breeze... What's this called?"
"Call me Seaweed, you idiot! Just listen to Master Kroeber!"
"You are the idiot! The young master has established a new family, so you should address him as sir!"
As a member of an inland family, Golden Rose had never eaten food with such a sea flavor, so the moment the seaweed entered her mouth, she was conquered by the taste of the seaweed.
After enjoying the seaweed, Marquis Daniel wiped his mouth and then focused on what Krober had said before.
"You said this seaweed can cure goiter? Is that true?"
It's no wonder that Marquis Daniel was surprised. Huaguan City and other territories are all inland areas. Normally, the nobles are reluctant to waste salt, let alone the common people.
If the people in the territory did not usually use animal blood to cook food, most of the civilians in the territory would probably not even have the energy to farm.
But even so, there are still a large number of goiter patients in the Golden Rose Territory.
"Yes, Grandpa, seaweed is not only rich in salt, but also contains a trace element called iodine, which can be used to treat goiter."
Marquis Daniel didn't understand what trace elements were, but he understood that seaweed did have the effect of treating goiter, and that was enough.
"Can seaweed be cultivated on a large scale? If so, the Golden Rose Family's caravan will purchase it on a large scale. Don't worry about the price; the last thing our family lacks is money!"
If it can be cultivated on a large scale, the price of seaweed will not be more expensive than refined salt. At that time, not only can he save a lot of money, but he can also improve the lives of his subjects.
