Five days later, the cheese workshop was finally set up and cheese production was put on the schedule.
Werther went to the cheese workshop to check. After the pale yellow cheese prototype was made, it was placed in the basement to dry. He finally felt relieved about the cheese workshop.
"Your Highness, how much are these long-term workers paid?" Wile asked.
"It's also twenty silver coins." Werther looked at Wile, "All long-term workers' monthly wages are twenty silver coins."
"Your Highness, how are you going to sell these cheeses?" asked a long-term worker.
Witte thought for a moment and said, "It's better to sell it at the same price as the ranch."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Werther regretted that there was still relatively little milk in Daybreak Town, so the price of fresh milk and cheese was not cheap, at least much more expensive than that in Night Light Town. But thinking about it carefully, maybe it was due to the previous setbacks of the ranch. When the time comes,
Over time, if ranchers raise more cows, or farmers gradually start raising more cows, the problem should be solved.
At this time, the sound of parchment rolls sounded: the production of the winery began to resume.
The former winery was indeed the largest source of income in Daybreak Town, but now it is deserted, and the grapes and wheat have not yet reached harvest time. If you want to start making wine, you must use a sum of money to buy grapes and wheat from neighboring towns.
.
The winery has all the tools used to make wine, and it can be resumed as long as it is cleaned.
However, we still need to find the owner of the winery.
"Wile, now the winery does not belong to me, but to its original owner. There are two ways now, one is that we buy the winery, the other is that we help the owner of the winery to run the winery together. We want to
Go to the vineyard to find Mr. Thomas and ask him who the owner of the winery is."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The master and servant found Mr. Thomas and got to know the owner of the winery through his introduction.
Werther and the winery owner met at this winery. The winery owner, who was about the same age as Mr. Thomas, looked tough, but there was some sadness in his brows.
"Your Highness." The winery owner saluted respectfully.
"Sir, I wonder if you would like to be the owner of this winery again."
"Your Highness, I would like to, but now I really have no money, and I owe a lot of debt. I can't run the winery again." The owner of the winery sighed, "I wanted to sell the winery before, but I couldn't.
No one wants to pay for it."
Witte smiled and said: "I have two plans now, but I must follow your suggestions to make the next choice. The first suggestion is that you continue to be the owner of this winery, and I will be responsible for providing part of the money and efforts.
, we cooperate to run the winery again. The second suggestion is that I pay the price to buy the winery and run it myself.”
After hearing this, the winery owner lowered his head slightly and thought.
Witt added: "Of course this depends on whether you are willing to continue to be the owner of the winery."
After a while, the owner of the winery raised his eyes, looked at Werther seriously and said: "Although I can pay off the debt after selling the winery to His Highness, I still like making wine, and I want to run this winery with His Highness.
.”
Werther smiled: "This is the best, because I don't know much about winemaking. If you are here, everything will be easier."
"Your Highness is so complimentary."
"I can let ten long-term workers work here. If there is not enough manpower in the future, you can add more people. I will provide fifty gold coins as funds to run the winery. You can use them to buy raw materials and pay the long-term workers.
As for wages, I believe that once wine making becomes profitable, these costs can be earned back very quickly."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
“After that, the winery’s
You will be responsible for the specific management arrangements. I will come here regularly to check on you." Witte stood up and said, "It's getting late today, so you can go back and rest."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will make a plan for the future business after I go back. I should be able to start working with the long-term workers tomorrow."
The winery owner was about to leave, but found that Werther was still standing there.
"Your Highness, won't you go back?"
"I want to see here again and get familiar with the environment."
"Then I'll go back by myself first. I'll see you later, Your Highness."
"goodbye."
After the owner of the winery left, Werther and Wile said, "Come upstairs with me and take a look."
However, Wile showed an apologetic expression: "Your Highness, I am a little tired from walking today. Can you sit here and rest?"
"Okay then, I'll go upstairs by myself."
Werther looked around the winery curiously, and suddenly found a piece of linen cloth in the corner, and someone seemed to be moving inside.
"Is it Margaery playing a prank again?"
Werther walked up a little helplessly and angrily, and lifted the linen cloth without hesitation. However, the sight in front of him surprised him.
A girl in a maid uniform squatted on the ground, holding her head in her hands and shivering. The most eye-catching thing about her was the silver ribbon used to tie her hair to the back and top of her head.
This person's dress is very familiar. Could it be Mrs. Agnes's maid? Werther asked the girl: "Why are you hiding here?"
When the girl heard Werther's voice, she raised her head slightly and looked at Werther with fear. Looking at this face, she remembered, wasn't this the maid who ran into the new farm and went crazy with Ivan last time and was scolded by Mrs. Agnes?
.
"Your Highness, the reason why I am hiding here is because I am afraid of being chased by my wife. She sent people to kill me, and I ran away for a long time before I escaped here. Please don't tell them my whereabouts, Your Highness." The woman's voice was almost
Begging, it can be seen that she is very scared at the moment.
"You mean Agnes Dark wants to kill you?" Werther asked in surprise, "What's going on? Aren't you her personal maid? What reason does she have for doing this? Is it really because
Did you make too many mistakes, or did you eat too much?"
"No, it's because I overheard the secret conversation between Madam and Noli, and Madam noticed that I was dissatisfied with the bad things they did, and suspected that I would betray them, so she wanted to kill me to silence me."
"So that's it. So, Mrs. Agnes suspects that you know her secret and will tell it. But who is Noli?" Werther asked.
"Noli is the spy given to the Madam by Duke Dark, and the person who advises the Madam. His purpose is to frame you."
"Is he always with Lady Agnes?"
"No, he just came to Daybreak Town a few weeks ago. Before that, Madam's spy was Taylor. Because the plan to frame you failed and he exposed himself, Madam locked him in a secret room."
Witte understood that the new valet next to Mrs. Agnes must be the new informant Noli. Perhaps, Noli had been secretly observing him since some time before Shaq was designed to be disfigured.
Witt thought to himself that Noli seemed much more difficult than Taylor. Taylor seemed to be forced to do bad things, but Noli seemed to be born to do bad things. The reason why Witt thought so was because he was in Xinjiang last time.
While at the farm, he felt Noli's malicious glances at him frequently.
Werther looked at the girl squatting on the ground again, and said softly: "You should get up first."
"I can't get up!" The girl held her head again and said in a low voice, "I used to be the maid of the Dake family. Although I didn't directly frame you, I can still be regarded as your enemy. Who knows if you will stand up when I do?
when
kill me."
"Huh? What kind of brain circuit do you have!" Werther became even more helpless, "Even if I want to kill you, I have to find out Mrs. Agnes's plan from your mouth before I kill you!"
Of course Werther would not kill her, but he wanted to know what the girl heard about the conversation between Mrs. Agnes and Noli, so he intended to bring the girl back to the castle.
"Do you really want to kill me?" The girl huddled in the corner. "Any way of death is acceptable, except starvation! I have one more request. Give me a delicious meal before you kill me."
Werther almost cried. How could there be such a person? He held his forehead and his tone became weak: "I promise not to kill you, and I will take you back to my castle and let people watch you and protect you at all times.
Now you can rest assured."
The woman raised her head and looked at Werther seriously with her eyes open: "This is what you said, don't go back on it, Your Highness."
"I won't go back on my word. Get up quickly and go to the castle first."
"Is there any delicious food in the castle?" The woman's eyes were shining, she looked at Werther expectantly like a child, she put her index finger on the corner of her mouth, and her mouth watered instantly.
"Well." Werther couldn't help but take a few steps back and whispered, "It's OK. It may not be as rich as Mrs. Agnes's house, but it's still pretty good."
The girl suddenly clenched her hands on both sides of her mouth, grinned her lips in a wide arc, and her smiling eyes shone brighter than the stars: "Great, I like food the most. I can't live a day without food.
, can’t do anything.”
Werther's fright increased a little, and he couldn't help but take two steps back. At this moment, he suddenly regretted his promise to take the girl back to the castle, but as a lord, it was difficult to follow up on a promise, and there was no way to turn back now.
Alas, the expenses of the castle are going to increase again. It is estimated that there will be more food for two people. Although I will protect this girl, I am really confused about whether to hire her as a maid in the castle. Werther thought a little depressed in his heart.
With these questions, his expression gradually turned sad.
"Your Highness, what are you thinking about? From now on, I am your maid. The salary is easy to say, so you can pay it as you see fit, but the food cannot be lacking. I can't wait to meet the food in the castle." The girl.
He stood up suddenly, jumped in front of Werther, then suddenly stopped, looked back and asked Werther, "Your Highness, where is the gate of the winery?"
Werther half lowered his head, raised his arms feebly, and pointed to the left: "If you follow the direction I pointed, you will see the stairs. You can easily see the exit after going downstairs."
"What!" the girl shouted in surprise, "I'm on the second floor!"
Werther was stunned by her words again. His eyes were dull and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally: "Don't you know how you hid in? Don't tell me that you were so frightened that you forgot when you came.
road!"
"Well..." The girl put her index finger on her lips and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Your Highness is right, that's why."
After saying that, she started running in the winery on her five-centimeter-high shoes. When she reached the door of the winery, she turned back with doubts on her face and shouted in the winery with a loud voice: "Your Highness,
How to get to the castle?"
Werther walked to the stairs and said to the puzzled Wile below: "Wil, take this girl back to the castle and ask Uncle Porter to prepare some food for her. I will go back after checking the winery."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Wile looked at the girl beside him, curled his lips, and asked, "Are you Mrs. Alice's maid?"
"I used to be, and now I am His Highness's maid." The girl stood on tiptoes and held her head high, looking at Wile with an arrogant look, and then laughed.
