Chapter 103 103. Try
"Mom, when will you come back?"
"Soon, probably in just over a month, or before winter at the latest. This family depends on you. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with Lodel. She deserves your highest trust."
Evelyn stood on the rooftop of Fort Fulin, with her hands behind her back, looking at the sky.
The rolling dark clouds obscured the stars and the moon.
The whistling wind made the leaves rustle.
The weather is changing again! The air is getting humid and the temperature is dropping rapidly.
Evelyn was worried about the autumn harvest, knowing that she could not stop God's will.
The weather has been too good in recent years, almost abnormally so.
I still remember it more than ten years ago.
In September, it often snows at night. In October, Moon Lake freezes over. In November, the ice does not melt until noon, and the lake is open for walking.
In December, it is best not to move except for a few hours at noon.
Because you will freeze to death!
This place is too close to the northern continent. It is rumored that if you sail north along the coastline for a few days and cross the Bai'an Strait, you will reach that frozen land.
In even harsher environments, most humans living there are sub-humans with cold-resistant bloodlines.
The Ice Wolf Clan was once one of the tribes, and later migrated here. Evelyn raised her hand, staring at the sky.
The white snow fell into the palm of my hand and melted in an instant.
Even with the sea regulating the temperature, it still snowed after all.
After taking a shower shivering, Lovi quickly ran back to the room, dived into the quilt, hugged Lodel tightly, and soon fell asleep.
A light snowfall ended in just half an hour.
No serious consequences were caused.
Early in the morning, when Lovey woke up, he found Lodel sleeping beside him, motionless.
As long as the temperature is right, she will wake up naturally. If it is too cold, she will be sealed by the "quilt".
"Get up!" Lowe fumbled around.
"Go on to sleep for a while, don't go today." Lodel turned over and locked his limbs, and the two of them were like an octopus.
"We have to go. It snowed last night and people might freeze to death, and no one is caring." Lovey insisted.
"Hey, what's the point of you going? Why don't you listen to me?" Lodel twisted her body like a snake and let the man go reluctantly.
Hearing the sound, the two maids on duty knocked on the door gently and helped their master change clothes.
After going downstairs, Lowe came to the restaurant.
Today's breakfast is a little special, as chef Am has come up with a new dish.
Steamed Cuckoo Eggs.
It is said that it was developed by restaurant chefs using steamers. They saw that the Lord's steamed buns, dumplings and seafood were well received, so they tried steaming various things.
As a common food, cuckoo eggs are naturally within the scope of experimentation.
It’s a pity that no water was added, so the steamed food didn’t look very good.
Luo Wei called the cook Am to make a suggestion, but she said something else: "Master, I added some vinegar to the soy milk, and it turned into a solid!"
"Why did you add vinegar? Well, I'm not against you trying it, just give it to me and let me see."
The cook, Am, hurried to the kitchen to get a wooden barrel. Lovi looked at the solidified soy milk and fell into deep thought.
This can’t be tofu pudding.
He knew that tofu pudding could be made by adding glucose lactone to soy milk, but he didn't know that it could also be made by adding white vinegar.
Thinking that it was most likely not poisonous, Lowe picked up a small amount with a spoon to try.
Except for being a little sour, everything else was fine. The smooth texture of the tofu pudding brought back his childhood memories.
"Is it delicious?" Lodel came over.
"Try some." Lowe handed her the spoon.
Luo Deer took a bite and said, "It's okay, smooth and sour. It will be better with some honey and sugar."
“It’s good to add some salt, too.”
"Sugar is good!"
“Salt is good!”
The two started arguing and turned their faces away from each other angrily.
For the first time in history, the debate over the saltiness and sweetness of tofu pudding came to an abrupt end.
It's time to set off.
Although he was very angry, it did not stop Lodel from following closely behind Lovey.
She is a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She often speaks firmly, but in the end she compromises without exception.
Lovi had understood Lodel's character very early on, so he turned his head and made a face to annoy her.
We walked along in silence, no one spoke.
Until we arrived at the pioneering camp.
Lowe found a guard in charge and asked, "How was it last night? Did anyone freeze to death?"
"My Lord, everyone is very grateful for the tent you brought. And the recently repaired kiln, it is much more comfortable to hide in it."
Yes, the kiln is equivalent to a semi-enclosed mud house, Lowe suddenly realized.
This is a blessing in disguise!
Now there is no need for the lord to urge them, and the people who are reclaiming the land are working with great enthusiasm.
One mud furnace after another was built.
It actually occupied the scene before the red brick house.
There is no doubt that mud houses are warmer than tents. As long as it doesn't rain heavily, a little rain or snow is not a big deal.
If you're lucky, you might be able to survive the winter.
Lodel wondered: "The mud house should have been built long ago, why didn't Bruno arrange it!"
Luo Wei explained angrily: "It's just the rainy season! Do you want to build in the rainy season? Mud houses will be washed away by heavy rain, don't you know?"
Luo Deer suddenly realized: "Well, it is indeed a temporary measure."
Who doesn't want to live in a wooden house or a stone house? I have never seen a town built of mud last long. So the general direction of land reclamation has not changed.
Two days later, Lowe saw him off at the port.
"Mom, take care on your journey."
"Don't make that expression. It makes me feel like I can't come back."
Evelin hugged him vigorously, as if she was trying to squeeze into his body, and Lowe was stunned by the embarrassment.
"Bye, baby! I'll bring you whatever you want."
"The territory is very short of people right now. If you have the ability, bring some people back to me."
"How much do you want?"
"As long as there is enough food, there is no such thing as too many people."
“Okay.”
Evelyn closed her eyes, and her body slowly floated up and landed on the bow of the ship.
He opened his eyes and looked behind him: "Liya, we can go now."
"Okay, Miss! The Duke will be very happy that you brought so much fine wine." Leah directed the crew to carry the barrels. Only when they were full and the draft reached the limit did she order the mate to blow the horn.
Everyone who wanted to go had arrived.
Of the thirty maid applicants, nine remained, and the remaining twenty-one returned with the Duke of Dafen.
"Goodbye, son!"
"Goodbye, Dale!"
"Messophie, goodbye!"
"Teacher Bruno, Ms. Triss"
Evelin waved and blew a kiss: "I'll be back soon."
She took the magic broom and the space bag with her, so even without taking the boat, she would probably be able to get back quickly.
When the time comes, fly with your eyes closed, fly higher, and meditate.
Anyway, I have the coordinates of Fulin Fort.
Lovey watched the Duke of Dafen leave the port.
The situation was going smoothly and soon disappeared from sight.
Lodel tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Let's go."
