Chapter 3 You all have special skills
At dusk, many scholars and students from Constantbul gathered around several large pots in the square with bowls in their hands, waiting for the cooks to prepare noodles. .
The place where most noodles are eaten these days is in the Kingdom of Sardinia. They roll out the dough, cut out individual noodles, and then dry them in the sun.
In Wesenling, a noodle making machine has been used here. The feeding screw pushes the dough forward, and finally it is extruded from the mold at the top of the cylinder. Round and flat noodles are now available. Someone needs to be there to turn the handle.
Put the noodles directly into the pot, put them into a bowl when cooked, then go to the side and add a spoonful of garlic sauce, a spoonful of vegetables and a portion of sausage slices for each person.
After you finish eating the noodles, you can go to the pot and ask for a bowl of noodle soup.
For travelers who are exhausted physically and mentally after a long journey, having a hot meal is equivalent to a luxurious meal.
On the other side, Frederick invited Manuel and several other aristocratic scholars to have dinner in the town hall.
The luxurious food was too late to prepare. The main dish tonight was noodles. The main course was roasted pork knuckles with sauerkraut, plus seasonal vegetable chicken soup and fine wine from the Weissenburg wine cellar. After the meal The dessert only has "black crystal eggs" arranged like petals, which is quite filling in terms of content.
Manuai and the others were very hungry during this time and could rarely get off the ship. Every day they were fed a paste made from black bread and various other things.
No one was interested in talking during the dinner. It was rare that a landowner was willing to entertain him. The only serious thing was to immerse himself in eating
After the meal, Frederick asked Manuel: "I wonder what your plans are for the future?"< br>
Manuai's eyes were full of confusion, and he said helplessly: "I don't know, we can only walk all the way and see where they are willing to take us."
After saying that, he raised his glass and put it in Drink the fine wine in one gulp, and drink more while the good wine is available.
Frederick signaled Alfred to pour him wine. After the wine glass was full, he asked: "I have a question. You are all rare great scholars in the world. You couldn't invite them in the past. Why are you here now?" Fallen to such an extent? ”
Manuai was silent, looked at each other with several other scholars, and finally sighed deeply and said: "It was us who harmed everyone."
"I am the Necromancer, the others How could anyone take me in when they see me and can’t even hide?”
Then another scholar named Friedrich also shook his head and said: “I am a poisoner among pharmacists, take me in?” I'm afraid I don't even dare to drink water."
The third scholar named Diesel smiled bitterly and said: "You may not have heard of me, but your butler should know about my blasting magic. The power is huge, but there is no distinction between us and the enemy.”
Hearing this, Frederick looked at Afu in surprise.
He knew very little about this butler, except that Afu had been saved by his father a long time ago, so he had been serving the Wesson family since then, and no one knew about his past.
Afu just nodded.
The fourth scholar is named Omet. He spread his hands and said: "I am studying golem puppets. However, with the rapid development of destructive magic in recent years, the high defense advantage of golem puppets is becoming less and less. Obviously, wisdom is never as good as human beings, and it is expensive. No one is willing to use it now."
The fifth scholar, Mathias, covered his face and said: "I am a plant master, but I am. The cultivated plants are too fat and very inflexible in fighting."
The sixth Monoflo pointed at Mathias and said: "I am an animal trainer, and I am the same as him. "Finally, Manuai said: "They all came to Constantbul from the Rhine League to study when they were young, and now they are returning to their hometown to try their luck."
After listening to the six of them, Frederick said seriously: "I heard that you all have unique skills."
"I am not saying something sarcastic to laugh at you, but I really think so."
"I have always believed that there is no useless magic, and there is no inherently evil magic, only people who don't use it in the right place."
"Your Excellency Manuai, if you and other scholars do not object, I invite you to rest at the manor by Lake Brombach."
"What I hope most is that you can stay and continue your education and academic research here."
The scene suddenly became very quiet. No one spoke. No one here is a fool. Everyone knows the relationship with returns.
Manuel looked at Frederick deeply, trying to see through his mind. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether this eight-year-old child had a kind heart for a while, or whether he had other motives.
"Besides that?" Manuel asked, "Do we need to...do anything else?"
Frederick picked up the cup and took a sip of juice, seriously After thinking for a while, he said: "I plan to dig a canal in the territory to connect the Danube and Rhine rivers. By then, this place will become a new commercial center."
"If you run a school here, you will definitely be able to recruit many students, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these students can also provide tax revenue for the territory."
"You also brought a lot of books, I think they should be mainly imperial texts, so I I plan to help you translate it into Rhineland."
"I will sell the Rhineland version of the book and give you a commission."
"Of course, I will also ask you to do it. I will find some young people to ask you to train me on some matters, and I will also ask you for advice when I encounter some magic problems."
Then he said to Friedrich: "Your Excellency is a poison. Teacher, I plan to fund your research on cheap medicines that can drive away ascariasis without harming people.”
Ascariasis is a huge problem these days, with about 10% of people in towns and cities infected, more than half in villages, and even higher in livestock.
Frederick discovered that the roundworms in this world are more severe than those in his hometown in his previous life. The temperature of the manure compost cannot kill the roundworm eggs, so boiling water is needed. The eggs even have a shell like the seeds of some plants and are difficult to kill. Digestive, can be spread through bird droppings.
Fortunately, there is a kind of green acid slime in this world. The acid secreted by their digestive cavity can not only dissolve the armor and clothes of female knights and female magicians, but can also digest soil and fertilizer. When the organic matter is removed, the outer shell and eggs of the roundworm eggs are digested.
Theoretically, throwing acid slime into the manure pile can reduce the spread of roundworms, but the manure pile must be taken to farmland for fertilizer, and the acid in the slime will damage the plants.
Frederick had no choice but to use anthelmintics to get rid of the roundworms when they were still young. The individuals at this time would die during composting to reduce the spread.
If a deworming drug with no or even low side effects and a low price could be developed, it would be equivalent to lying at home and watching gold coins rain from the sky.
