The captain of the Enterprise quickly arranged for the remaining personnel on the ship. Fortunately, this terminal is a top-level terminal with a high level of security and is guaranteed by the Passion Church. Therefore, it is enough to ensure that the minimum number of people on the ship is enough. And listen
The young priest said that the hotel should be very close to the dock, so it would be convenient for the sailors to work 24 hours a day.
"Thank you very much for allowing us to disembark, my lord." Looking at the sailors, guards and the minotaurs, they walked down the gangplank and got off the ship. Lawrence, the first mate on the Enterprise, thanked him. In his impression, those who belong to the nobles
Ships have a lot of rules. For example, in today's situation, most nobles will only take their servants and personal guards off the ship, because they think the sailors are too vulgar and it will damage their image if they get off the ship.
"It's nothing." Lawrence waved his hand gently and said, "After all, everyone has worked hard these days, and we really deserve a good rest. Especially you sailors, the ships can get here as fast as possible these days.
Because of your efforts, you should be rewarded accordingly."
"Of course, staying here for a few days and recuperating is just a basic reward." Lawrence said seriously, "When I go back, I will also individually commend those who have made outstanding contributions, such as when the ship is in danger.
The sailors in the power cabin who stayed calm during the crisis and finally successfully helped everyone escape from their deaths. Another example is you, the first mate and Mr. Captain, who stayed calm and commanded during the sudden crisis - "
While Lawrence and the first mate were chatting, the crew members had already arrived at the dock and lined up. After watching everyone get ready, Lawrence and the others ended their discussion and said hello to those who were left behind, and then took those who were lined up
The people who came ashore in two columns, led by the young priest of the Passion Church, walked along the path above the pier in the direction of the buildings outside the port area.
It has to be said that Ilysia, the capital of Elysium, the three major powers in the New World, has very good infrastructure. Lawrence can feel that the pier made of huge stone strips under his feet is both strong and spacious. It has important functions in some important areas.
There are still traces of the melted metal reinforcement used during construction on the supporting stone.
And as time goes by, the construction within the city has not stopped. For example, these ancient boulder piers that seem to have been built similarly to the city are now equipped with rails for steam cranes, and at the end of the rails
, a huge crane stands there.
In addition, there are gas lamps or oil lamps everywhere on the piers along the coastline, illuminating the piers as bright as day. You can see some sailboats or more advanced steam sailboats on the pier in the distance. At this time, they are loading or loading cargo on the shore.
Unloading cargo, several steam cranes were busy coming and going on the dock, and it didn't look any quieter than during the day.
Because two steam sailing ships were captured during the previous elimination of pirates, the skilled sailors originally brought from the Old World had to be dispersed on several ships to bring the old with the new in order to get these ships moving. But in this way, even
There are many locally recruited sailors on board the Enterprise, and some local sailors have basically wandered around those small islands before and have never seen what a modern big city looks like.
As a result, when everyone left the dock area and walked to the street, there was a chirping sound from the team. It felt like country people coming into the city. Fortunately, there was a first mate and a few senior sailors to maintain order, so there was nothing wrong.
Even if uncivilized behavior occurs, it does not affect other people.
After successfully entering the hotel, everyone had a sumptuous dinner and went to bed early. After enjoying a buffet breakfast the next morning, the crew of the Enterprise went to the city in teams divided into cabins and occupations.
They walked around, and Lawrence took Nora straight to several churches in the city.
For example, they need to visit churches such as the Church of Knowledge and the Church of Agriculture. After all, the two parties have had a lot of cooperation before, and the cooperation has always been very pleasant. So this kind of courtesy visit is a must.
When he visited the Agricultural Church, Lawrence specially brought out the newly developed black tea and tea tree seeds as gifts, and the staff of the Agricultural Church were very interested in this new tea variety. For them, whether they had cultivated a new tea
Crop varieties or the development of new uses for old crops are things worth celebrating.
In addition, the two parties now have a certain degree of cooperation, so when Lawrence and the others visited, a high-level priest came out to accompany them and asked about the selection of black tea leaves and fermentation. Lawrence just briefly talked about how black tea should be made.
How to choose and ferment.
Unlike the White Eagle Federation, the Erysion Empire uses Radnim. Fortunately, the God of Knowledge’s gift package last time included this language, allowing him to communicate directly without the need for translators or translators.
magic.
All these contents are the most basic theoretical contents, and there is not much practical knowledge. Because black tea will definitely be a luxury product in the future, it is also very important to keep it secret in some places to avoid being learned by others.
.As for the disclosure of the basic parts, it will not bring danger to the black tea industry on New Saul Island, but will help the promotion of this new type of beverage.
After all, fermentation is a very precise work, and the taste of the final product will be completely different even if it is just a little bit different. Not to mention that the fermentation of different varieties of tea requires fine-tuning to achieve perfection, which is difficult to replicate in other regions.
The special environment created by both nature and artificiality on New Saul Island has cut off the possibility of others imitating it from the very beginning.
"This is a very good new beverage variety. At least it is quite competitive with all the beverages on the market now. If it develops well, maybe one day we can sell these tea leaves back to China."
After listening to Lawrence's introduction and drinking several cups of tea, the high priest spoke highly of black tea.
Especially after tasting the black tea variety with condensed milk and sugar, the priest liked this drinking method very much. He made it clear that most people here should like this kind of tea.
"Yes, unfortunately the only bad thing is that the cultivation of tea trees requires very high water and heat conditions. There are not many places where it can be planted." Lawrence said with a look of helplessness. At least in the New World, there are not places that meet the requirements of subtropical hills.
Although large areas of flat land are a good thing for most crop cultivation, tea is an exception.
"If I remember correctly, there are hills on the windward side of the mountainous area in the central part of the empire, which should be very suitable for growing tea." As expected of a senior priest of the Agricultural Church, the middle-aged woman in front of me quickly came up with her own idea.
The place in the jurisdiction is suitable for growing tea. "And that was the place the empire chose when it first tried to grow tea."
"But the tea leaves in that place are even bitterer than the tea leaves in your hands, so the empire finally had to give up the planting plan." The priest shook his head, and suddenly thought of something and asked. "By the way, you guys have passed the test
How does the fermentation method work with native teas that taste more bitter?”
Thinking of visiting the Agricultural Church, Lawrence and the others not only sent the prepared black tea, they also sent some fresh tea leaves that Nora had packed on the mountain for processing. After chewing some fresh tea leaves, the priest obviously found
With native teas and Lawrence they bring the difference in tea.
"If the taste is more bitter, then you need to strengthen the fermentation." Nola shrugged and reminded, "But if you do this, the floral or fruity aroma of the tea itself will be damaged, and the tea may not taste good.
The batch we’re making now tastes better.”
"If it only causes some damage to the original flavor, then it's not a big problem." After recalling the taste of the tea he tasted just now and comparing it with the taste of domestic tea he had tasted before, the priest smiled and said. "
After all, Imperial tea is intended to be sold in large quantities as daily drinks, so a slightly lower quality will not affect this positioning."
