Chapter 152 Mosquito Coil (Please subscribe!)
When seeing the shocked face of Viscount Conte, the servants of the Sky Garden spontaneously followed closely behind the Viscount, not leaving his side.
They were afraid that the old viscount, with his eyes wide open, would faint from fright.
after all……
Almost every first-time visitor will be shocked by the towering wonders of Idar Territory and marvel at the magnificent scenery of the Hanging Gardens.
This also gave every Idar person present a strong sense of pride! Although the large number of wonders built caused the heavy gold coins in the Idar treasury to be spent like water, it created a large number of jobs, allowing many Idar people who did not have a fixed source of income to find a job, so that they had some spare money in their pockets.
Although the money they get may not be much and the lives of civilians are relatively tight, most of the time it is enough for them to fill their stomachs and put on clothes.
And this is already much better than the life of most civilians in the Norman Empire!
The improvement of living conditions and the abundance of material living materials have made even the most ordinary civilians in Idar County walk with more energy! "This... When was this built?"
Looking at the sky garden in front of him, Viscount Conte asked with a trembling voice.
You know, it has only been a year or two since he last visited Idar Territory.
Although one or two years may not sound like a short time, in Viscount Conte's opinion, it is far from enough to build a wonder of such a scale.
Since the Territory of Conte and the Territory of Idar are so close to each other, the conditions and financial status of the territories of both sides are roughly the same.
But……
Looking at the building in front of him, which was called the "Sky Garden" by the Idar people, Viscount Conte suddenly felt confused.
How could Idar County build such a building in such a short time? Even if Idar County had the income from the salt industry, it would probably be beyond its ability...
Viscount Conte, who was a border noble like Bruno, knew very well what kind of foundation was needed to build a building of this scale. That was why he was even more surprised...
However, since Bruno was not in Idar County at the time, Viscount Conte could only keep all these questions to himself for the time being.
However, although Bruno is not in Idar for the time being, Viscount Conte has been living an exceptionally comfortable life these days.
The Hanging Gardens, leaning against the Almis Mountains, are not only close to the stream, but also have lush green shade and gentle mountain breezes. It can be said to be a rare summer resort.
In addition, when Bruno was building this building, he considered livability as an important aspect of building a sky garden.
Therefore, White Barrell, who was in charge of supervising the construction, put in a lot of effort in both living conditions and architectural structure. Naturally, it is much better than ordinary castles that are cold in winter and hot in summer.
Except for the times when a violent and dull roar seemed to be heard from the depths of the Almis Mountains, the rest of the time was exceptionally comfortable.
So much so that during these days, Viscount Conte seemed reluctant to leave and was extremely envious of Bruno's living environment. He was even about to forget about asking Bruno for people.
Of course, what shocked Viscount Conte was not only the beauty of the Hanging Gardens, but also the attention paid to details by the Idar people.
Although it was midsummer and the Hanging Gardens were located between mountains and forests, Viscount Conte had never been bitten by mosquitoes during the days he lived there.
This is extremely rare!
Perhaps it was because Viscount Conte himself was attracted to mosquitoes. Even in his own castle, he would often be bitten by mosquitoes and feel itchy all over in the summer.
After some inquiries, Viscount Conte finally figured out the reason for all this.
Mosquito coil!
This is a brand new creation invented by Count Bruno of Idar himself!
This was actually the first time that Viscount Conte had heard of mosquito coils. It was said that Bruno had invented this thing a few days ago. After it was lit, it had a very obvious effect of repelling mosquitoes.
This also allowed Viscount Conte to understand why there were often many burning ring-shaped objects in the corridor outside the room.
Speaking of mosquito coils, Bruno, as a nobleman, would naturally not treat himself badly. Therefore, before the midsummer, Bruno had already ordered his servants to pick some pyrethrum to make mosquito coils.
That's right, the pyrethrum used as a natural insecticide by the Idar people can not only prevent and control pests in the fields, but the processed pyrethrum powder can also be used to make natural mosquito coils! Moreover, the gas emitted by this mosquito coil made of pyrethrum after burning is almost harmless to the human body, far better than the chemical insecticide mosquito coils of the previous life! The production of mosquito coils is actually very simple. As long as the operation is proper, even the dumbest civilians can make mosquito coils that are ugly in appearance but effective.
Pyrethrum powder is the most important raw material needed to prepare mosquito coils. In addition, a small amount of elm root powder, clean water and some other raw materials are also needed.
Although there are many variations in the ratios of the raw materials needed to make mosquito coils, as long as the mosquito coils are pressed into a solid shape of appropriate length, such as a disc or a long shape, they are considered to be successfully made.
"A treasure like mosquito coils... would your Lord Earl sell it? I am willing to pay a high price in exchange for it!"
Looking at the burning mosquito coils, Viscount Conte asked with some envy.
You know, what Viscount Conte hates most is the mosquitoes that bite people everywhere in the midsummer.
"Such a treasure?"
The servant who answered the question was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Reporting to the Viscount, there is a store in the southern city of Idar that specializes in selling mosquito coils. Although these mosquito coils are still in the research and development stage, there are already several types of mosquito coils available for merchants and civilians in Idar to choose from."
Viscount Conte keenly grasped the words in the servants' words: "Sell to civilians?"
"Yes." The servant nodded.
For a moment, Viscount Conte felt a little... speechless.
This kind of thing that I have never even seen before is actually commonplace to the civilians in Idar County!
This made Viscount Conte feel a little unbelievable.
In other parts of the empire, it is extremely difficult for civilians to even fill their stomachs, but in Idar County, civilians actually have spare money to buy mosquito coils?
besides……
