This was probably the busiest night Sean had ever seen Kalibo...
The old butler had been taking care of him since he was a child, but Sean certainly didn't remember the specific things the other party said. However, to him, the old butler was like a nanny, and he always knew very well about his daily life.
Ever since Igonia arrived, the old butler has been extremely excited, even more excited than when Sean was at home.
Constantly taking out goodies from the treasured cellar to entertain...
Most of the so-called good things are the pickles he made. This is probably the best specialty in the small town. Wild vegetables that only grow in the mountains are pickled... People who are used to eating big fish and meat may find it very good at the beginning.
When Sean was in the city, he rarely saw Igonia eat much meat, but she actually liked this kind of pickled vegetables.
"What do you think, Miss Igonia?" the old butler asked with a smile. There seemed to be dirt in the wrinkles on his face, but his smile was sincere and kind!
"It's delicious! I like it very much." Ignia nodded.
"Just call me Nia..."
Perhaps it was because Sean's family was too enthusiastic that Igunya felt embarrassed, and all the words of encouragement she had given herself before were now useless!
"That's good, that's good! Then Miss Igu... Nia, I'll get you some more."
"That's enough, really. I can't even finish this."
I looked around and found that there was not a single girl around. It felt really awkward to eat in front of everyone.
"Where's Sister Esmeralda?" she asked suddenly.
Claude had actually been on the other side of the table the whole time, but he hadn't seen his sister.
"You mean my sister? She might have gone to meet her old lover... We don't need to worry about her." Claude asked without even raising his head.
Over the years, Esmeralda's family had pressured her many times to get married, but she had always refused. Now, she had finally arrived at where her old lover was, so Claude had no intention of disturbing them.
"Old lover?"
"Oh, I didn't tell you this before... Actually, my scholar subordinate and Esmeralda had a past relationship."
"There's actually such a thing..."
……………………
After returning to the small town, the pace of life seemed to slow down suddenly.
Besides, there really wasn't much entertainment in the town. Every morning when I woke up, it was time for Kalibo to call me for breakfast, and Iguniya always got up earlier than me...
She is a witch and she was brought here by herself, so everyone in the family respects her.
Of course, Claude and Esmeralda also lived in the Baron's house. These days, Sean took a few people to wander around in the mountains and take a look at the terrain of the entire town, including the condition of the newly planted fruit seedlings.
For several months, Luke has been working in the mountains with the people of the town. Now, most of the wasteland in the southern mountains is planted with fruit. Preliminary estimates show that the planting area is close to 1,000 acres, which is hard to imagine in a small town like Telemian.
I guess the young people in this town will be very busy taking care of the orchard every day in the days to come...
If I can grow it next year, then all my efforts over this period will not be in vain.
In addition to the orchard, Sean also took Claude to several nearby locations suspected to have mineral deposits for field investigations. Early records in the town of Thermian had always mentioned the existence of mines.
There is a mine at home, but several generations of Baron Weigel did not seem to have turned it into an industry, so this time he brought this professional to take a look.
However, the effect did not seem to be as good as Sean had imagined. The results from several excavated samples showed that the content was very average. If they were to be mined, the cost would be too high.
This is mainly due to the town’s geographical location. It is located deep in the mountains and the roads are inconvenient, and a lot of mechanical equipment have to be brought here.
The cost of such high consumption is not something that ordinary people can afford. More importantly, the town definitely lacks manpower and is unprofessional. It would take a lot of time to train new people...
In short, if you want to use these to make money, you may only see consumption without any gains in the first few years, and it may take three to five years before your income gradually increases.
Getting such an answer gave Sean a headache...
Unless he invites the new Earl of Hamilton to join him, he certainly won't be able to afford such expenses on his own.
For ordinary businessmen, they have to be big ones. Otherwise, if there is no profit for three to five years, who knows what trouble will happen...
It seems that I have to develop the orchard first.
Aside from the economic development, Luke and Esmeralda didn't seem to be doing well. They met every day, but the tension they had felt at the beginning had turned into a mutual resentment.
I wonder what topics they talked about in private and what they talked about?
That's not the case, isn't it said that both of them are still single? They should have a lot to talk about.
Sean sometimes calls Claude over to discuss things privately. It seems he needs to do some ideological work on both of them...
As for Igunya, Sean didn't have to worry about her. He thought she would not be used to living in the countryside, but now it seems that she is doing well. Every evening after dinner, she would ask him to go for a stroll in the town. It felt like being at home.
