Chapter 66 Playing football makes me happy (Please read! Please recommend!)
"Repair... Master, what are you going to repair now?" Liszt was obviously shocked when he heard Bruno's words.
It's impossible not to be scared. The Mur Fortress and the road to the south are still under construction. If another big project is to be carried out now, the Idar County simply cannot afford it.
"Master...you have to be careful..." Liszt said tremblingly.
"Who did you learn all this from? Just build a few thatched huts. You build an orphanage the same way ordinary civilians build their homes," said Bruno.
Bruno wanted to build a wonder to serve as an orphanage, but he also knew that one cannot become fat in one breath, and Lord Idar simply does not have the ability to do so now.
Furthermore, if Lord Idar built the orphanage like the lord's castle, Bruno could guarantee that a large number of "orphans" would be sent there by their parents the next day.
After all, everyone had a hard life! Therefore, in Bruno's opinion, it was reasonable to make the orphanage a little shabby.
As for the name of Qidian Orphanage...it's nothing more than Bruno's bad taste.
The deep meaning and wishes contained therein can probably only be understood by those big guys who have had rich experience in their previous lives.
The matter of the orphanage was just a small episode in Bruno's boring aristocratic life.
Bruno had nothing to do recently, so he ate too much fried chicken and felt a little full.
This is all the fault of the cook in the lord's castle!
Ever since I learned how to fry chicken and make breadcrumbs from Bruno, the blackened roasted chicken hearts and wings that used to appear on the table are no longer there.
Instead, there are golden fried chicken legs, fried chicken wings, and fried chicken breasts. If they are paired with corn and mashed potatoes, you can make a complete KFC family bucket.
But having said that, the chef in the lord's castle is really good!
The golden fried chicken is very appetizing as soon as it is served.
Besides, the fried chicken is sprinkled with refined salt!
The salt obtained from seawater drying cannot be eaten directly.
After simple processing, these dried sea salts can become coarse salt for daily consumption by ordinary people.
Bruno used the knowledge he learned in high school to further process the coarse salt to obtain refined salt.
The refined salt obtained after these steps tastes almost the same as the salt Bruno ate in his previous life.
However, in the previous transaction with the businessman Calio, Bruno was not in a hurry to export the refined salt.
Because this refined salt without bitterness is very different from coarse salt and white sugar.
Although white sugar is precious, it has existed for a long time. For the nobles, it can only be regarded as a luxury product with a slightly higher price.
But refined salt had never appeared before, so Bruno was very cautious about the sale of refined salt.
After all, Bruno had not yet completed the formation and training of the standing army, so he did not dare to leak the existence of refined salt so easily.
Moreover, salt is a necessity in people's lives. Even if one only sells crude salt, it will bring huge profits that cannot be ignored.
A quart of salt can be sold for at least two silver shillings in Idar alone. If it is placed in the inland of the empire, the price of a quart of salt will be even higher!
Therefore, with coarse salt and white sugar as a guarantee, Bruno was not so enthusiastic about selling refined salt.
…
Since fattening foods like fried chicken are often served on the table, in order to maintain a healthy body and a handsome face, so that he, the foreign soul, can feel more involved, Bruno has to find ways to exercise.
However, the entertainment and cultural activities in this world can be said to be extremely backward, so it is easy to imagine how much effort the original body put in collecting books such as "The Romantic Wizard's Search for Love" and "The Wizard's Hunting for Beauty".
As for sports activities...hunting is probably the only one.
But we can't ask for too much. After all, most civilians can't even get enough food to eat, so how can they have the leisure time to organize scientific, educational, cultural and sports activities...
Therefore, after countless days and nights of deep thought, Bruno thought of football! Putting aside the Chinese national football team in his previous life, Bruno actually loves watching football matches very much.
Bruno decided to order the craftsmen to make the football.
However, the first problem faced in making a football is that... it seems that there is no rubber in this world...
Fortunately, Bruno is not so particular. For him, as long as he can make a ball in the end, it doesn’t matter whether it is bouncy or not.
Therefore, the craftsmen used cowhide instead of rubber according to Bruno's description, and then added all kinds of messy fillers into the "football". This made Bruno's mouth twitch as he watched from the side. Idar's craftsmen are simply all talented!
When Bruno looked at the football that he had finally made with so much hardship, he felt neither amused nor sad.
This is probably the most expensive football he has ever seen!
But... Bruno kicked it a few times and it felt pretty good.
Although it felt a bit muffled when kicking with his feet, it was beyond Bruno's expectations.
Of course, if you want to head the ball, it might not be safe...
Holding this cute football, Bruno brought Liszt to the military camp in a hurry.
The soldiers trained hard!
The frog jump alone is enough to make people tremble with fear, not to mention the other various training subjects.
"My Lord Earl, why are you here..." Seeing Bruno coming to the military camp again, Sam Layton hurried over.
"The soldiers have been training too hard all day, so I brought them a good thing!" Bruno pointed to the football he had just placed on the ground.
"This is……"
Sam Layton looked at the thing that his master had just brought. It was spherical in shape, and the surface looked like a layer of cowhide. He didn't know what kind of strange thing it was...
As for whether cowhide requires the slaughter of working oxen, Sam Layton subconsciously ignored this. His master wouldn't even blink an eye when building a fortress or a garden, let alone a mere working ox.
"Assemble!" Sam Layton yelled to the soldiers in training.
As soon as Sam Layton finished speaking, almost all the soldiers who were originally scattered in different training grounds throughout the military camp gathered in the direction of Sam and Bruno at the first moment.
"The training is good!" Bruno praised sincerely.
It is by no means an easy task to train a group of soldiers who obey orders in this era.
Most of the soldiers lined up were tanned by the sun, and the food in the barracks was always good, so they looked particularly energetic.
