While Nalant was surprised, Aldin clenched his teeth and looked at Andrew with wide eyes.
Not only had his ice business been robbed, but he had also lost face, and his hand had been slashed with a sword. Aldin was naturally furious.
What happened today was obviously that he suffered a big loss, and now Andrew is actually beating him up.
"What are you looking at, Aldin, isn't it?" Seeing Aldin's gaze, Andrew immediately stared back fiercely, "If it weren't for the earl, if you thought you could survive to this day, I would have treated you right away.
A duel to the death has begun!"
"My Lord Earl, please make the decision for your subordinates!" After saying that, Andrew put on a sad look again.
The Earl on the high platform was speechless, stroking his forehead and looking at Andrew.
"Andrew, I'm not going to punish Nalant today. I just asked him to use the gold coins he earned in the past few days to buy a gift of no less than fifty gold coins for Stella!"
"Oh, no punishment! That's good...wait, a gift of fifty gold coins?" Andrew was relieved at first, but when he realized it, his heart skipped a beat.
Fifty gold coins, plus dozens of gold coins, can buy a green elf that lasts for eighty or nine years.
"My Lord Earl, you are of the same nature as the little Nalant who punished me! Just like what the evil-minded Aldin said, my Berwick family is notoriously poor! Where did he come from?
Ten gold coins!”
"Andrew, do you know how much money Nalant's street stall can make in a day?" The earl was helpless. If Andrew came in and chased him with his sword like last time, he could still pretend to be angry.
But now Andrew is pretending to be aggrieved and pitiful. He shouldn't get angry. After all, the first two things he said were "good things" done by his biological brother.
"How much?"
"Ten gold coins a day!"
"Hiss! Ten gold coins?" Andrew's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Is setting up a street stall so profitable?"
On second thought, Andrew was a little eager to give it a try again, wondering if his father should also go out of his way to imitate his son and set up a street stall in the square, and he would also have to set up four or five positions.
"Andrew, what you are selling this time is ice!" The Earl knew what Andrew was thinking and immediately cut off his thoughts.
"Oh!" Andrew finally gave up the idea of setting up a street stall.
"Okay, now that things are busy in the castle, you should go back first. Andrew, I have taken good care of you this time. I have only been in the castle for two days, and I first cut off one of Varad's wrists. Although it was a fair duel, but
You are all my vassals, and I don’t want other counties to see the joke!”
Knowing that Andrew had achieved his goal and would no longer bother him, the earl waved his hand, not wanting to see this miserable father and son again.
"Yes, sir!" Andrew immediately put on a happy face, "Let's go, little Nalant!"
With that said, Andrew patted Nalant on the shoulder and was about to lead him out.
Nalant was caught off guard and almost staggered, looking at his cheap father who was so rough and clumsy speechlessly.
"Well, little Nalant, although you have become a bronze knight now, you still need to work hard. This little body is too weak!"
Is it still my fault?
Narant rolled his eyes, "Yes, father!"
Afterwards, Nalant followed Andrew and left the inner castle and went to the small building in the reception area.
…
"Britt, come and meet your brother!"
Soon, Andrew brought Nalant to his small building.
Following Andrew's call, a young man in his early twenties came down from upstairs.
"Brother!" Nalant naturally recognized the brother of the original owner, although his relationship with this brother was not very deep in the past.
"Narant, long time no see!" Burrett said calmly, looking at Narant with a complicated look.
In the past, he didn't like this younger brother very much. After all, he was too cowardly and couldn't cultivate well. As his older brother, he was often laughed at in the academy.
But now Nalant not only received the title before him, but also had a chance to win Miss Stella. Even though this chance was very slim, this made Burrett secretly jealous of his younger brother.
Therefore, Brett greeted Nalant without interest, and then said to Andrew: "Father, some of my friends are already waiting for me! I'm going out first!"
"I haven't seen Nalant for so long, can't you catch up with your brother first?" Andrew was slightly unhappy.
"Forget it, father, the noble should make more friends and let him go first. He has to stay in Tulip City for several days anyway!" Nalant advised.
When Andrew heard this, he did not stop him.
Burrett nodded slightly to Nalant and then left the small building directly.
"Your eldest brother still needs a lot of hard work to become a qualified noble!" Andrew sighed helplessly.
"Father, you are still young and have plenty of time to teach!"
"Haha! Little Narant, you have now made my father and I worry less. I didn't expect it. This is simply the blessing of the God of Glory!" After hearing this, Andrew immediately smiled with joy.
Narant did know why the elder brother had such a personality now. In fact, Burrett was quite good to the original owner. At least with him, the original owner had never been bullied in the academy even though he had no fighting spirit.
And Burrett's indifference today is not directed at Nalant, it can be said to be directed at the entire Berwick family.
Because of the poverty of the Berwick family, Brett was ostracized a lot when making friends, and even encountered obstacles in finding a female companion. This resulted in some flaws in his character, and he may even feel resentful.
It's just that their mother died young, and Andrew, a rough old man who was usually rough-handed, didn't know how to guide his children's inner state, so he was basically in a free-range state.
After Brett left, Andrew took Nalant to the living room and sat down.
"Narant, is your ice business really that profitable?"
"Yes, father, I still say ten gold coins are less, maybe more!"
Ice cubes cost nothing to make, and the saltpeter powder can be reused.
After making ice cubes, boil the saltpeter water to dry it, and then you can get the saltpeter powder in it again.
If we talk about cost, the only cost of shaved ice is the labor plus the dried fruits and honey. However, this cost will not be counted until tomorrow. After all, the price of ten copper coins will be increased by then.
"Haha! Well done, little Nalant!" Andrew suddenly beamed. If he can rise this time, it will be a blessing to the Berwick family.
"By the way, Narant, what happened to Varad?"
"That Varad wanted to cause trouble for me a few days ago, and then..."
Next, Narante and Andrew started talking in the living room. During the conversation, Andrew was basically concerned about Narante's recent situation, while Narante always responded in a normal manner, reporting good news but not bad news.
