Chapter 107 107. Progress
Still no feeling.
Lovey pushed Lodel away expressionlessly, his mood as calm as still water.
The two of them have been together for too long, and actions like hugging and cuddling are no longer new to them.
Cuddle him several times a day, just like you would a pet.
Its meaning is not attraction, but an intimate and coquettish attitude.
"There are still more than a hundred days until my birthday!" Lodel said resentfully.
"Yes, I remember."
It's just a wedding ceremony, just a formality, Lovey thought indifferently.
Unconsciously, the water temperature gradually dropped. Outside the window, heavy snow fell quietly.
When I woke up the next morning, the earth was dyed white.
Lovey bent down and scooped up a handful of snow in disbelief. It wasn't even mid-September yet and this had already happened!
What will happen in the days ahead?
It seemed to recall the past, the terrible memory of the coastline being frozen.
The catastrophic climate offset the advantages of humans becoming stronger and living longer, and a balance was achieved between the two sides.
"This is the abandoned land of the Eastern Continent." Lodel squatted on the ground and murmured softly.
After eight o'clock in the morning, the snow began to melt on a large scale.
The sunlight, without the obstruction of clouds, is so bright that it makes people's eyes dizzy.
One hundred and twenty children gathered in front of the gate of Fulin Castle to participate in the final selection.
Lowe thoughtfully provided a breakfast, which included hot soy milk and two large meat buns.
After all the children have finished eating, the assessment will begin.
First, test your memory and repeat what the lord said.
Lowe read a poem he wrote on the stage. It was short, less than 100 words. He read it three times, and then the children were called aside to recite it.
Five maids were examiners, plus Mixia, there were exactly six people, one in charge of twenty children.
Unexpectedly, everyone had a good memory, 93 people recited it completely, and the remaining 27 were eliminated.
The second round of test is a brain teaser.
Move one chopstick so that the order changes from one, two, three, four to four, three, two, one.
When Lovi first devised this question, it stumped the maids, including Lodel who came to join in the fun.
It was not until Xiqi moved the second-to-last chopstick to the middle of one and two that everyone suddenly realized.
This question is a sure-fire way to solve it. Those who can’t figure it out will be helpless for a short period of time, and will think it is impossible, and then be eliminated.
Out of ninety-three people, only seven figured it out.
The remaining children were wiped out.
"Just seven. There's no need to test them on morality. I'll see how they get along when I teach them in the future." Su Ya said to Luo Wei.
"Okay." Lowe was too lazy to bother.
The selection of the first batch of students has come to an end.
Only seven people passed, with an admission rate of less than one percent.
Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the difficult problem set by the lord. Many people stubbornly believed that it was impossible, but someone suddenly figured it out.
“It’s actually possible.”
"I see!"
In order to appease the children who were finally eliminated, Lowe gave each of them five copper pennies and promised that they would have another chance next year.
The crowd gradually dispersed.
Lowe planned to go to the city to check the cement production situation and wait for a batch of red bricks to come out of the oven so that he could start building the house.
A guard came to report: "Master, Mr. Bruno informed you that the wheat production has decreased slightly."
"Oh! Is the situation serious?" Lowe asked with a concerned look.
"It's within controllable range." The guard looked regretful.
After a period of rush to harvest wheat, most of it has been harvested, with only a small portion left. Even if there is some loss, it doesn't matter.
Better than Bruno expected.
Another difference between this year and previous years is that the production of salt has increased significantly, so more fish and meat can be pickled. In addition, the fishing of seafood has played a certain role in stabilizing prices.
The lives of the people are moving towards happiness.
Lowe came to the executive hall.
As expected, I learned that someone froze to death last night, and I couldn't help feeling heavy-hearted.
"When are you going to start building the house?" asked Lodel.
"Just wait until the grocery store opens, mid-month," Lovey replied.
Suddenly he felt that the name of a grocery store was not good, so he decided to change it: "How about calling it a department store?"
"Are we going to sell a hundred kinds of goods?" Xiqi asked curiously.
"A department store is not just about a hundred kinds of goods. It may mean more." Lovi smiled and changed the subject: "The plant we talked about yesterday is like snow, but it doesn't melt. It's still warm in your hands."
"I will definitely keep an eye on it." Before parting at the fork in the road, Xiqi bowed to Lovey's back.
At the same time as the lord was heading for the stone archway, a hooded traveler arrived at the gate of Fulin Castle.
She pulled down her hood and explained her identity to the guard at the door: "I am the disciple of Lord Evelyn, the Lord of Donglin City, Aixin Dili. Please tell Lord Lovey that I am here to see him as agreed."
The guards did not dare to neglect her. One of the guards on duty at the door knew Ai Xin and directly invited her into the meeting room.
The panda butler came to greet him: "Miss Ai Xin, you are finally awake. I heard that you were in deep meditation, but the master didn't wake you up."
Ai Xin was a little embarrassed: "Actually, Bai Lu is very capable. I don't need to get involved in city management at all. By the way, is the teacher still meditating?"
"Lady Evelyn has finished her meditation and followed the fleet to visit her relatives. She is not in Fort Fulin now."
"I see."
An attendant brought water. After being washed by the snow last night, the water of Moon Lake was unusually cold, with a hint of sweetness.
Ai Xin showed a nostalgic look on her face: "The water here is still the best to drink."
"In fact, the territory has changed a lot recently." Mosuofei sat down and said in a chatty manner: "There are many new things. You should learn more about them when you have time."
"Tell me about it."
Mosofi casually searched his pockets and rolled an iron coin with Lovi's portrait printed on it towards Ai Xin.
"What currency is this?"
Ai Xin didn't take it seriously at first, but then he suddenly thought of something and his expression changed.
"you."
Mosuofei made an unfathomable gesture and slowly shook his finger: "The young master hasn't come back yet, I'll take you for a walk."
"good!"
The two men stood up and walked out of Fulin Castle.
Ai Xin is one of us, and the distillation project was not hidden from her. Mo Sufei invited her to taste the brandy, which received positive reviews.
"Are you going to get rich? Hehe."
"You still regard yourself as an outsider. The young master said he would give you benefits."
"What benefits? Can you tell me?" The beauty shook her body shyly: "Does he want me to be his mother?"
"It's unlikely for now. The young master will marry Madam Lodel at the end of this year." Butler Panda burst the woman's fantasy.
Ai Xin was not surprised at all. In fact, she would be shocked if Lovi abandoned Lodel.
