Teaching (repair)
While Los was feeling anxious and restless, Elena had just gotten up.
In fact, she didn't sleep in. It was only eight o'clock. As a lord, couldn't she sleep until eight o'clock?
Just like every day before, Elena leisurely enjoyed the maids' help in changing clothes, washing, and combing her hair before she started to enjoy a wonderful breakfast.
Milk, bread, fried eggs, and fruit. Although not exquisite, it is a satisfactory breakfast.
Elena finished her breakfast and then summoned Ross.
It was the same room again. Today, Los found out that the room was actually an empty room. The Viscountess needed a classroom to teach Los, so the mansion had urgently cleaned it up.
Ross sighed again, the Viscount's Mansion was really rich, with so many rooms to use and so many pieces of furniture to display.
When they arrived at the classroom, Elena came before Los had even had to wait for a few minutes.
Ross saluted respectfully.
Elena said: "Okay, let's get straight to the point and start."
Elena pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down."
Ross sat down obediently.
Elena took out a picture from the cabinet and hung it on the hook on the wall. When the picture was opened, it was an extremely complete and clear anatomical diagram of a cow.
Ross's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief and a little bit of horror.
"In the first class, let's learn about cows." Elena said seriously.
Elena taught Los the basics of cattle breeding by reading from the supplementary book. She originally thought that this was a simple thing that could be completed in a day or a day and a half, but in reality it took three full days.
Before the class, Elena thought that Los had experience in raising cattle and had family skills, so he should be able to learn quickly. However, she didn't expect that Los was illiterate. He couldn't read or write, and he had to rely on his brain to remember the knowledge points she read. He also didn't understand the meaning of many words. Elena had to explain the meaning of these words while explaining the knowledge points.
After three days of teaching and three days of learning, Los's mind was filled with a lot of knowledge, but Elena was just exhausted.
On the necessity of basic education!
If I can't even understand what she says, what else can I learn?
After three days of teaching, Los returned to the village and took away a cart of beans, which were specially prepared as a snack for the cows.
Los drove his cart back to Abang Village and was warmly welcomed by the whole village. They surrounded him and asked him if the Viscount's Mansion was beautiful, whether the food was good, what he ate, and why he had new clothes, bowls, cups, and towels.
Yes, when Los left, he even brought back his daily necessities. The Viscount's Mansion provides each person with a set of daily necessities. Once Los uses them, they are his. The Viscount's Mansion would not be so stingy as to take them back.
The acting village chief of Abang Village also came. Abang Village was the knight territory of the former captain of the Cavaliers, Malen, so the village chief was naturally Malen. After Malen's death, the territory and property were inherited by the eldest son. The eldest son successfully passed the entrance exam to the Cavaliers in the recent expansion of the Cavaliers. Now the position of village chief is temporarily being acted by the second son.
The acting village chief asked Los cordially, "Los, why did the Viscountess summon you?"
Ross saluted and said, "The Viscountess wants to set up our village's cattle shed as a pilot to test her cattle-raising methods. These past few days, the Viscountess has been teaching me how to raise cattle."
These few short sentences stunned the acting village chief and the villagers who were watching the fun.
The Viscountess teaches Ross how to raise cattle?
ha?
Does such a distinguished figure know how to raise cattle?
Ross raised his hand and patted the cart he had pulled back. "The cart is loaded with beans. The Viscountess gave them to the cows."
The acting village chief and the villagers all opened their mouths wide.
Ho! Feed the cows!
"What about your clothes? Was it also given to you by the Viscountess?" the acting village chief asked again.
Ross shook his head. "No, this is from the Viscount's Mansion. It's the mansion's errand uniform. My clothes are too dirty to wear in front of the young lady, so the mansion gave me this set of clothes."
The villagers sighed with envy.
"What about these?" the acting village chief asked again, pointing at the set of daily necessities.
Los said, "This was also issued by the government. Everyone in the government has one set, and they use their own. They can't mix them. Because I used it, the government let me take it away."
The villagers sighed again.
"By the way, village chief, I also brought back an order from the Viscountess." Ross said as he took out a long cloth bag from his arms and took out a parchment scroll from it.
"What order?" The acting village chief took it, opened it, and read it carefully. "Oh, it turns out that the Viscountess gave you a promotion." In the order, the Viscountess asked the village to cooperate with Los's cattle-raising pilot program.
Ross quickly shook his head and denied it. "No, no, it's just that the Viscountess has very high requirements for raising cattle. A new cowshed needs to be built. This requires the help of the village chief, and everyone else as well."
Seeing that Los was so sensible and didn't get carried away by the Viscountess's praise, the acting village chief nodded in satisfaction: "Don't worry, this is something that Viscountess values very much. We will all do our best to help."
After thanking the acting village chief, Los started pulling the cart again. The villagers enthusiastically helped push the cart. A large group of people walked towards the cowshed, talking and laughing.
When he arrived at the cowshed, Los looked up and saw Kunkun in the shed.
How come he is here?
Kunkun had also seen Los a long time ago. He was holding a brush in his hand, brushing the cow's hair. When he saw Los, he did not stop brushing, but smiled at Los.
The acting village chief said to Los, "You've been gone for three days. The village cows can't be left unattended. Kunkun is also one of your family members and knows how to take care of the cows. I'll let him take over for a few days."
Then the acting village chief said to Kunkun, "Kunkun, Los is back. You have worked hard these days, going out early and coming back late every day. Come to my house later. Remember to come to my house to get the beans I promised you." Beans are food, and food is equivalent to hard currency in the village. The acting village chief asked Kunkun to take care of the cows, so he must give him some compensation.
Kunkun smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, village chief."
After returning to the village, the cowherd Los strictly followed the Viscountess's instructions and, with the help of the villagers, rebuilt a new cowshed next to the old one.
This new cowshed is tall, wide, and well-ventilated, and the soil has been compacted and piled up, ensuring that the cowshed will not get wet even when it rains heavily.
The cows were very happy to eat fodder with beans in it and move into a new cowshed. They gained weight quickly and looked particularly energetic and strong.
Los was delighted to see this, and so were the acting village chief and the villagers. The hard work of building a cowshed in addition to farm work, and the small complaints about the cows having better food and shelter than humans, were all gone.
It's hard work, but it's worth it.
Coincidentally, it rained the next day after the cowshed was built. The villagers couldn't help but laugh and feel relieved. Fortunately, they worked quickly and didn't slack off, otherwise the rain would have delayed their work.
But once the rain started, it never stopped. It started as a drizzle, then it became a heavy rain. After a night's sleep, it became a drizzle, and after another night's sleep, it got heavier and heavier again.
Too much rain is not a good thing, as the crops in the fields will be soaked. The villagers went to the fields in the rain to dig ditches to drain the water. Of course, the first place to drain the water was the public land in the village.
The common land in the village is usually connected in one piece, which is numerous and wide. In order to speed up the digging of ditches, the acting village chief asked Los to lead the cattle out to help dig the ditches.
The cattle were the collective property of the village, and Los could not refuse. With the additional effort of the cattle, the speed of ditch digging increased significantly. After the common land was dug, each family came to borrow cattle. Although Los felt sorry for the cattle, the villagers had helped him a lot during this period, and everyone squeezed out time to build the cowshed. Now that everyone came to borrow cattle, he could not refuse.
However, it is an objective fact that the tools used to tame cattle in the village are crude and of poor quality. If cattle are used too much, various small wounds will inevitably appear on their bodies. On rainy days, water will seep into the wounds and cause infection. Although Los used medicine in time, the cattle still became visibly thinner.
The fat I just gained is gone again.
Los felt very distressed.
To make matters worse, the endless rain made the dirt road even more muddy. The rain blocked the view and the sky was dark. When Los was leading the cattle back to the village that day, several cows fell down at a bend.
The cow fell and was injured.
Los' heart was broken with pain. He blamed himself and resented himself. Why didn't he keep an eye on the cows and just watched them fall?
After leading the cows back to the cowshed and quickly drying them, Los didn't care that he was still wet and ran to boil herbs for the cows.
Fussen Town, Viscount's Mansion.
Elena sat in a comfortable and spacious soft chair, holding a booklet in her hand, but her eyes were looking out the window with a dazed look.
The endless heavy rain covered everything between heaven and earth, bringing an inexplicable feeling of melancholy.
The wind blew, bringing a few raindrops into the window and onto Elena's face.
Elena came back to her senses and looked down at the booklet in her hand. This was a sales order sent by Miaoquyuan. Although chili powder and cumin powder had been represented by Woodrow and others, Miaoquyuan was still responsible for the sales of various sauces.
The quantity and amount of the sales orders were considerable, and the market response was better than Elena had expected, but even so, it didn't make Elena happy.
Because it’s raining, that nasty rainy day, the endless rainy day.
Elena has always hated rainy days. She has never liked rainy days. Now that she has come to this strange world, she hates rainy days even more because rainy days make it impossible for her to walk.
Roads with poor drainage, cumbersome long skirts, shoes that get wet easily, it’s so annoying, so annoying.
"Miss." The old butler Harold came to Elena.
Elena turned her head: "What's wrong?"
"Loss the cattleman wants to see you," said Harold.
"Los? What is he here for?" Elena was a little confused. It was raining so hard outside and it was not easy to go into the city. What was worth him coming here in the rain?
"Let him go to the classroom," Elena said.
"Yes, miss." Harold stepped back.
