Chapter 14: Kindness and Benefits (Part 2)
When Annien rushed back to the castle, it was already around 1:00 p.m. When he arrived in the square, he saw a large number of people waiting at the door!
"Young Master!" As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw the butler of Brother Bi waiting outside.
"Yeah, don't say much, just execute it!"
"Yes, young master." With a command, hundreds of people started together. The first batch of people was at most, with forty people. She/they also merged white syrup, alkali water, raw oil, and flour bit by bit. As for white syrup, alkali water, raw oil, and flour, of course, they were all ready, so they were very fast together.
The working principle of the assembly line is used throughout the process, so when the dough is kneaded in front and the twenty people at the back, they will pull the dough into small doughs of the same size and roll it into doughs for use. And when kneading, add less butter, which will be very fragrant, but remember not to add more to avoid shortening.
Among the other thirty people, they all pinched the bean paste into small round cakes, wrapped them in raw duck egg yolks, and wrapped them into a filling ball. This was specially ordered by Annin, because when scones, the oil from the egg yolks would melt into the mooncake crust, which was particularly sweet.
There were another thirty servants and maids who wrapped the filling balls into the rolled dough cakes and kneaded them into dough balls. Thirty prepared wooden molds were put in a little dry flour, and put the wrapped filling dough into the mold, pressed tightly, flattened, and then buckled it out from the mold.
At this time, four huge magic ovens built had been activated. The temperature of this oven was constant at 180 degrees. Several magic apprentices had no other skills, but it was still more than enough to start the fire element gem that had been prepared.
Ten people have used eggs to make egg juice, with a ratio of 3 egg yolks and 1 whole egg, and then brush a layer of prepared egg juice with a brush. And put batches of such cakes into each layer of the magic oven, and each oven can be placed at the same time.
After only ten minutes, the fragrance had spread throughout the castle with a strong fragrance. Even the soldiers patrolling near the castle couldn't help but saliva and looked inside.
"It smells so good. I really don't know what's roasting inside. I really want to go and have a look. It would be great if I could eat it." A soldier couldn't help but say, and he swallowed.
"You go in, no one stops you." A soldier next to him said mockingly: "I just don't know if the Lord will punish you when he sees you like this!"
"I heard that the Lord Lord mobilized hundreds of people and prepared 1,000 pounds of flour and more than 40,000 eggs, almost all the eggs in the territory were collected." Another soldier said immediately. In fact, he really didn't understand why the castle had to use so many eggs at once. After all, no matter whether it was eggs or duck eggs, it was impossible for the castle to consume so much. And now it is not too long to store it.
"Stop talking, this is the Lord's business. If you let Lord know that you are chatting, you will suffer. The whip hits your body, but it hurts, or do you don't want to continue working in the patrol team?" said the captain of ten people.
The soldiers below quickly shook their heads. They were treated very well in the patrol team. In addition to being a little harder during training, they were very high in salary and diet (compared to ordinary tenant farmers). How could they bear to work like this!
At this time, the servants and the women who temporarily brought the helpers were busy pulling out the cake from the magic oven, brushing a layer of prepared egg juice, turning over and continuing to bake it in it. When the oven was opened and pulled out, the aroma was so strong that even the servants at work couldn't help but salivate.
"Bak for another ten minutes. It's done." Annon said with a smile.
"It smells so good. It smells delicious." Loli's sister Eshal was already drooling and staring at the oven. She didn't even know that the saliva fell on her cat hugging!
"It's very fragrant, but Annien, why do you bake so much? Can we finish it?" Pariya also looked at it and asked.
"Have your elves been here?" Annin said.
"Here, all fifteen, what are you asking them to do?" Paliya looked at the elves waiting behind her, and looked at the oven: "Is it for them to eat cakes, but how many can they eat?"
"It's not that they eat cakes, but that they ask them to take the cakes back with me. I have prepared two carriages, and each carriage can bring one thousand, two carriages with two thousand, which is just for the elves and our soldiers, four per person, six for the tenth troopers, eight for the centurion, and twelve for the deputy commander."
In this world, due to the long-term war, not to mention that ordinary people's lives are quite difficult, even nobles and elves are rare such luxury goods - so not only have ordinary soldiers never tasted them, but even ordinary elves may not be able to eat much. After hearing this, all the elves present immediately opened their eyes wide.
"Oh, it's rare that you have such a heart." Paliya said, "But why did you suddenly think of this? Also, what is the name of such a cake?"
The original name of the earth was Mooncake, but in this world, it was related to the moon, which was related to some gods. After thinking about it, he still took the name of the mooncake. After all, whether it was the moon goddess or the elf god An Xiuyaer, they all took the moon as part of the holy emblem, and these two gods were very important to him now, so he said: "I thought of it, and I made it. Hum, this kind of cake is called mooncake."
"Mooncakes?" At this time, the magic oven had already been turned on, and the new large number of mooncakes were golden and exuding a fragrant smell. Even Paliya couldn't help but swallow a sip of water in secret and smiled: "The name is really good, okay, you go and move them to the carriage! Be careful, don't break it."
After hearing this, the young goblin sisters behind cheered. They hurried up to help and cut batches of mooncakes to their own belongings.
"Brother, I want to eat first!" Loli's sister Eshalli pulled Annien's clothes and said pleading.
"Okay, ask them to get some, be careful, don't eat much, it's not good to eat more." Annien shrugged helplessly: "Come on, everyone will divide a few, and it's time to eat first."
After taking a bite, it was indeed fragrant, crispy and sweet. Everyone present praised the taste of the people, even I was like this.
"This kind of mooncake costs a lot, right?"
"The cost is calculated as labor and the cost of a magic oven. A mooncake is about the price of a silver coin. I am going to bake 30,000, which is about the cost of 2,000 gold coins."
"Thirty thousand pieces! How many do you bake so much?" Hearing such words, Pariya and Als were almost choking and coughing.
"Nothing, but I want my subordinates to have two people eat each." Annin said lightly: "My subordinates have more than 11,000, and the people in Xuefan Town are just about the same."
This time, I was really surprised: "Today is not the New Year's Day of the Gods, nor is it the holy day of some gods. Why did you do this?"
He quickly swallowed it, Paliya asked, this matter was very important.
"Is it the New Year's Day of the Gods or the Holy Day of Gods? However, after these four years, the territory has been basically built successfully. We can earn tens of thousands of gold coins every month, spending 2,000 yuan to let all the leaders, soldiers, and officials taste the joy. Isn't it great? Do you have to ask for any reason?" Annien said. In fact, this is the day of August fifteenth. In this world, the moon is also particularly round. Therefore, for a moment, he thought about it-but of course, such a reason cannot be expressed.
After saying a few words, it happened that when the elves put a thousand into the first carriage, the second oven was completed, and another thousand two hundred mooncakes had already come out, so they continued to load them. Annien smiled and said to Kafa who was waiting aside, "Appoint it, every village will deliver it, and then say, our Lord, give them two mooncakes each."
"Yes, Lord." Kafa replied in response. In his opinion, it was a pity to spend so many mooncakes, but when he thought of Annien's ability to make money, he didn't care about it and immediately agreed loudly: "Don't worry, I will deliver every mooncake to the conqueror tonight."
After a pause, he asked again: "Sir, where is the businessman in Xuefan Town?"
"There are two, and they only have one thousand to two thousand people. They are all given. Don't be too stingy. Also, the patrol teams in the town and castle send three, and the servants in the castle also use three as the basic distribution number." Too fair distribution is meaningless. Only by dividing according to the level can cohesion be generated. Otherwise, the important figures and ordinary people will eat the same number, which will not reflect the lord's favor and kindness.
"Yes, Lord." Kafa agreed loudly, and then ordered to do it.
"Master, do you think this is the case?" Brother Bi heard this and said softly to me.
I was satisfied with eating such sweet mooncakes. This was not only a mere mooncake, but also a symbol of the wealth of Nabira Island and the Fenokashu family. Especially, he was a knight who believed in the goddess of the moon. His son named him Mooncake. He felt very satisfied. Although it was a bit stingy after spending two thousand gold coins, it was indeed not a big number in his territory. When he heard his butler's words, he sighed in his heart, but he still didn't seem to feel anything and said: "What, isn't this very good?"
"Yes, lord." Brother retreated.
After a while, cheers from tenants and soldiers came from outside.
"A kind lord!"
"The best lord in the world!"
"God has allowed me to meet such a merciful lord!"
