"grown ups!"

When Gervais came to the vestibule, Thomas and others were already waiting in the vestibule. After seeing Gervais, they all excitedly greeted Gervais.

"Thank you for your hard work! You all go and wash up first! Thomas, and both of you, follow me to the hall first!"

Gervais glanced at the carriages. Only two of the five carriages contained things. One carriage was filled with empty wooden boxes, and the other one also contained a lot of sundries. They were all necessities for the castle. They should be

Purchased. Seeing this situation, Gervais felt confident that all the goods this time had been sold.

"Yes, sir!"

Gervais brought Thomas and Jimmy's two apprentices to the hall. As soon as he sat down, Thomas handed Gervais two bulging and heavy black money bags.

Gervais took the money bag and did not check it immediately. He happily asked Thomas and the two cook apprentices to sit down, and then asked Thomas: "Thomas, how is the response to your products?"

Touching the money bag and feeling the weight, Gervais already knew that the goods were sold. However, Gervais wanted to know more about the specific sales process and the response of the customers on site. This would be very important for him to judge products such as ice cream ice cubes and oysters.

"Sir, I got a total of 11 gold coins, 10 silver coins, and 75 copper coins from the sale of ice cream and ice cubes this time. By God, I can guarantee that I have never seen gold and silver coins come so easily, as if they were picked up from the ground.

Generally, everyone is afraid that they won’t be able to buy something, so they hand the money to us with all their strength..."

Next, Thomas excitedly told Gervais in detail everything that happened in Winterfell, including meeting Eagle and Anthony. Of course, the most important thing was to describe the scene of selling ice cream and selling ice cubes in the South District.

It was a hot scene at that time, and even Thomas did not miss the Earl's request for more than a hundred city guards to help maintain order at the scene.

"Looks like Jimmy is going to have to speed up the ice cream making in the next few days!"

After listening to Thomas's detailed account of what happened in Winterfell, Gervais was sure that his ice cubes and ice cream had a bright future. However, ice cream and ice cubes had a drawback, that is, they could only be used in this hot summer.

Best-selling, if it is in winter or the other two seasons, it will basically be unsaleable and very cyclical.

Now that summer is about to pass, if Gervais wants to make more money this year, he must let Jimmy make more ice cream. After the caravan sets off, Jimmy's two apprentices have also started, so Gervais will

Jimmy was taught how to make ice cream. As a chef, Jimmy only followed Gervais's teachings and reached Gervase's level after making it once.

During this time, Jimmy has been making various flavors of ice cream in preparation for the next caravan departure.

"As for Herald Eagle, it seems that I have to thank you very much this time!"

Gervais has already remembered that Eagle can help his caravan. As the saying goes, I respect others as much as I respect others. Gervais will leave for Winterfell in the next two days.

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank Eagle.

"Sir, here are the invitations and envelopes given to you by the Earl!"

After talking about how to sell ice cream cubes, Thomas took out the envelope and invitation that Alice asked him to bring back to Gervais.

The invitation was of course for Gervais to attend Alice's birthday party. Gervais picked up the invitation first. The invitation was covered with leather. The workmanship was exquisite and extraordinary. When Gervais opened the book-sized invitation,

, and even took a breath of cold air.

"Hiss! How rich my cheap wife is! She is actually made of silver!"

I saw that the inside of the invitation was not made of paper, but made of shiny silver sheets, and the content of the invitation was engraved on the shiny silver sheets.

In fact, Gervais, as Alice's husband, does not need an invitation. However, in order to let Gervais understand the true relationship between them, Alice prepared an invitation for Gervais like other nobles.

Of course, Gervais knew this very well, but looking at these two shining silver pieces, Gervais chose to forgive, and even hoped that Alice would still send such invitations to him in the future, and it would be best to

It would be better to replace this silver invitation with golden gold pieces.

As for whether Gervais's idea can be realized, it is unknown.

After glancing at the contents of the invitation, Gervais stopped paying attention and picked up the envelope to check its contents.

This envelope was the king's reply to Alice. When Gervais read the entire letter, the corners of his mouth curled up.

"Thomas, please read this letter too!"

Gervais handed the letter to Thomas, and then turned his attention to Jimmy's two apprentices.

"Now you two tell us what happened in your convoy!"

Gervais smiled and said to the two of them.

"Yes, sir!"

The two people quickly sat upright and began to talk...

After they separated from Thomas, they walked slowly all the way, stopping for half a day every time they passed a lord's territory. Because of the experience under Thomas' leadership, although the two of them were a little nervous, they followed the steps and the lords agreed to let them bake.

Golden oysters, and were finally conquered by golden oysters and other seafood, and they generously took out gold coins.

In ten days, they visited a total of sixteen lord's castles and harvested 33 gold coins. The extra gold coin was the money from selling oysters and lobsters.

Finally, they sold all the way and arrived at Gandalf's castle, where they taught Gandalf, Nashen and another lord's cook how to bake golden oysters, and waited for the return of Thomas and others.

Gervase had already ordered Gandalf's professor and Nashen's cook to be free of charge. In addition, he also gave Gandalf 100 kilograms of oysters and his vassals 50 kilograms each for free. At this point, gold

All the goods in this group of students were emptied.

"Very good! You lived up to my expectations!"

After listening to what the two apprentices said, Gervais nodded with satisfaction. Of course, the most important thing was that the 33 gold coins made Gervais a big profit this time, which showed their contribution.

"Thomas, give each of them a quota for the castle's direct food field next year, and let their families be responsible for farming!"

Of course, there should be rewards for meritorious service, and Gervais was not a stingy person, so he immediately gave Thomas an order.

There are about a dozen quotas for providing food to the castle. After obtaining this quota, the castle will allocate them good fields and provide them with seeds for free. They only need to cultivate them well and provide them with the specified amount.

As long as the crops are grown, there is no need to pay taxes.

"You two go down to wash up and have a good rest. We will set off again in two days!"

"Thank you for your gift! Thank you for your gift!"

When the two heard that Gervais had actually awarded each of them a quota to supply food to the castle, they immediately knelt on the ground excitedly and loudly said thank you to Gervais. With this quota, their family could

It is said that I have no worries about food and clothing.

This quota is originally used to win over the subordinates of the lord. Of course, the amount to be paid does not need to be too much. It is several times lower than the tax. It can be said that this quota is the iron rice bowl in this world.

After the two thanked them, they exited the hall with excitement. Only then did Gervais speak to Thomas again: "Thomas, what do you think of this letter?"

"Sir, Viscount Lanny must have bribed some officials to speak for him, and Viscount Lanny also concealed the fact about the mithril mine!"

Thomas thought for a moment and expressed his thoughts.

"That's right, if the king knew about the mithril mine, he would definitely mine it himself instead of deliberately asking Lanny to mine it. The king has only one purpose in doing this, and that is to suppress the Jones family!"

Since the king’s move involves my interests, let’s see if their teeth are stronger or my mithril sword is sharper!”

Although Gervais is still weak at the moment, Lanny's camp has just been destroyed by him not long ago. It will take only a month or two to rebuild it, but Gervais can use these two months to quickly increase his strength and become more powerful.

The important thing is that he now has gunpowder.
