From Baron to Lord

“We will certainly not disappoint your expectations, Lord!”

“That's right, please rest assured, Lord!” The carpenters were too excited to speak.

Allen said a few more words and then left directly, leaving the scene to Sparrow.

He needed to go to the vicinity of the Stranfoss Mountains, where the treants lived.

As for why not let them live in the city.

It was entirely because the treants looked slightly狰狞, and ordinary people, apart from the carpenters, would definitely not be able to accept the treants' appearance.

For this reason, the carpenters had initially tried hard to argue for the adorable treants in their eyes.

Of course, apart from the carpenters, no one thought the treants were cute.

So the carpenters were quickly defeated, and in addition, the treants, minotaurs, and centaurs didn't seem to have any particular fondness for humans, so Allen placed these guys near the Stranfoss Mountains, far away from humans, where they could live freely.

Riding on Silvermoon Wolf, Allen quickly arrived at the Stranfoss Mountains.

Here, the treants, minotaurs, and centaurs had built a simple city to live in.

“Respected master, the treants are willing to serve you.”

After Allen arrived in the small city, he immediately explained his intentions, and the treants immediately said there was no problem.

“Very good, my servants, let's set off now, I have already selected the location.”

Allen said, then turned to the minotaurs and centaurs and said, “You come too.”

“Yes, master.”

Soon, a large force of ten thousand people began to move.

Allen led them to a plain south of Skywolf City.

This place was some distance from Skywolf City.

By the time he brought the treants there, Sparrow had been leading the carpenters for a long time.

“Alright, Sparrow, I'll leave the rest to you. Contact Bax and ask him how many farm tools he needs. We need to satisfy our own needs first.”

Allen said, riding on Silvermoon “720” Wolf.

Sparrow bowed slightly: “Don't worry, Lord, we have already discussed it, now we just need to start.”

Allen nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, this was why he liked using Sparrow, this guy was very smart.

He didn't need to worry too much.

“Very good, Sparrow, I'll leave it to you.”

Allen turned and left, and behind him, the wooden product factory belonging to Skywolf Territory had already begun to be built.

Returning to the castle, Allen breathed a sigh of relief: “Grandpa Edward, please prepare some dinner for me.”

The butler Edward immediately replied: “No problem, Lord, what would you like to eat today?”

Allen thought for a moment: “Some cake will do.”

“Please wait a moment, Lord.”

Butler Edward quickly retreated.

After a brief wait, Allen saw his dinner.

Some not-so-soft pastries, looking a little焦黄.

Some maltose had been added inside, which was already a good pastry in this world.

Allen picked it up and ate it bit by bit, the pastry with maltose added was a bit too sweet.

“Ah, this cake is too awful!” Allen sighed.

“Lord, this is the same as the previous cakes, and maltose has been added, it should taste even better than before.” Edward was slightly stunned, he tasted it slightly, and it was clearly delicious.

Allen sighed upon hearing this: “Before, I focused all my attention on the territory, now that the territory is developing, I have a little energy to distract myself with other things.”

“Um, what does the Lord mean?”

Edward said somewhat at a loss, he had always thought his service was perfect, and the Lord had always been satisfied under his care.

He didn't expect Allen to say the food wasn't delicious today!

As a meticulous butler, Edward absolutely wouldn't allow the person he served to have the slightest dissatisfaction under his service.

“Hmm… I happen to have time now, I'll go take a look in the kitchen.” Allen stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

“Lord! What are you going to do? How can the Lord personally go to a lowly and messy place like the kitchen?” Butler Edward said somewhat anxiously.

“Grandpa Edward, the kitchen is not lowly, don't worry, I just thought of some food that you may not have seen before, so I can only do it myself.” Allen said with a smile.

“How can it be like this? The Lord is an extremely noble person! How can he personally make food?!” Edward's face became even more anxious after hearing Allen's words.

“Well, Grandpa Edward, you know, I'm different from others, and I will definitely do what I want to do.”

Allen's words made Edward stunned for a moment, then he sighed: “Yes, Lord, I only ask that you don't go to the kitchen often…”

“Don't worry, I'm not free every day.” Allen said with a smile.

The two slowly walked to the kitchen, the kitchen of Skywolf City was much larger and cleaner than the kitchen of that small castle in Rose Town.

“Look, it's clearly very clean here.” Allen said with a smile.

In the kitchen, the chefs and servants who were sitting aside chatting stood up in panic.

“Lord!”

They bowed to Allen, looking a little uneasy.

Allen nodded: “Well, don't be nervous, I'm just here to make something to eat.”

“Lord, do you not like the food I make?”

Hearing Allen's words, Mrs. Daisy in the kitchen immediately turned pale.

You must know that if a lord no longer likes the chef's cooking, then it means that the chef is about to face unemployment.

Being able to work in the Earl's mansion was an unparalleled honor, and it came with generous rewards. Mrs. Daisy had no desire to lose this job. "Yes, Mrs. Daisy, it seems His Lordship wasn't too satisfied with the pastries. He… he wants to make some pastries himself."

The steward, Edward, had resumed his solemn expression, and the thoughts running through his head were the same as Mrs. Daisy's. He was contemplating whether to replace the chef. Mrs. Daisy's face turned pale upon hearing this: "My Lord, I…"

She was about to beg Allen to let her stay when Allen shook his head and said, "Mrs. Daisy, this isn't your fault; it's my own issue…"

"Alright, Mrs. Daisy, I won't fire you, so rest assured. Now, please get me some tools, as well as eggs, milk, and flour," Allen said softly.

Mrs. Daisy immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but a hint of doubt also arose in her heart. She had never heard of Lord Allen knowing how to cook.

However, she still prepared the items according to Allen's instructions.

At that moment, everyone gathered around Allen, eager to see what their lord was going to do.

Allen first mixed the milk and flour together, then added some eggs, kneading them into a dough, and then added some yeast to let it rise.

Afterward, he took out some egg whites and milk, along with some seasoning similar to sugar in this world, but this seasoning had a milder flavor and was only suitable for flavoring.

Then he started whisking, quickly creating cream, and finally baked the dough into a cake, adding the cream inside.

After that, he added some fruit pieces.

Soon, a fruit cream cake that wasn't particularly attractive in appearance was made. "So… so fragrant!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, swallowing as they gazed at the large, round cake in front of Allen. "Good heavens, what is this food? Is this even a pastry? Look how exquisite it is!" Mrs. Daisy said in astonishment.

"My Lord, what is this food? It smells so good, with a rich milky aroma. Is it because milk was added? And what is that white stuff? It looks so pure and flawless, and there are fruit pieces too. It looks absolutely beautiful!" Steward Edward couldn't help but praise.

1.7 Originally, they thought Allen was just playing around, but they didn't expect that this lord would actually make food, and it looked quite good!

Allen didn't say anything; he quickly cut a piece and tasted it.

"Yes, this is the flavor I've been looking for!"

A trace of nostalgia flashed in Allen's eyes: "Would you like to try some?" Edward and the others immediately nodded and cut off a small piece to taste.

"Good heavens, what is this white stuff? It's so sweet, the rich milky flavor and smooth texture are truly unbelievable!"

"God, what is this food? It's so delicious! Besides the milk's fragrance, there are also refreshing fruits. My Lord, you are a genius!"

"My Lord, what exactly is this food?!" Steward Edward asked, his eyes wide.

Allen revealed a slight smile: "It's just a fruit cream cake."

Chapter 118: The Idea of a Food Festival, a Flying Dragon! (3 Requests for Subscription, Self-Subscription, and Monthly Tickets!)

"Fruit cream cake?!"

"That's a fantastic name!"

"As expected of Lord Allen!"

Listening to the praise of the others, Allen smiled slightly: "Mrs. Daisy, you should have seen my technique clearly just now, right?"

"I saw it clearly, My Lord. If you want to eat it in the future, I can make it for you at any time." Mrs. Daisy revealed a smile.

Allen nodded: "That's great. Oh, right, Grandpa Edward, take some of this cake to Lucy."

Edward immediately nodded: "I understand, My Lord."

Soon, Edward took a large piece of cake and walked outside.

At this time, Allen wasn't satisfied. Since he was already in the kitchen, why not make more food?

"Let me think, for desserts, there are cream puffs, ice cream, jelly… Speaking of jelly, that reminds me of pudding…"

"Besides desserts, I can also make some snacks, or some of the delicacies from my previous life would be good too."

"Hmm! Wait! I seem to have an idea."

Allen originally just wanted to make some delicious food, but he quickly thought of a food plaza, and then he thought, couldn't he create a food festival?

Although his city's population had already exceeded 100,000, most areas were still empty.

Although the population was increasing every day, it was still too slow.

And he also had to consider the development of the economy and commerce.

This was a difficult problem.

But Allen suddenly had a good idea.

Food festival, specialty foods!

Allen could completely rely on his skills to attract many merchants and commoners.

There was no doubt about this.

Clothing, food, housing, and transportation have always been the basics of human survival.

Food, especially delicious food, can definitely arouse people's interest.

After all, food, as a consumable, is an industry that can continuously generate huge profits. "Mrs. Daisy, I want to make some more food. Watch carefully."

Based on his memory, Allen quickly made cream puffs, ice cream, jelly, and the most fascinating spicy sticks!

After that, Allen also made a pizza.

The continuous stream of delicacies left people stunned and overwhelmed.

Each food could easily capture the hearts of everyone present.

Even Lucy eventually ran to the kitchen, staying by Allen's side, eating some of whatever Allen made.

After the pizza was baked, Allen felt a little tired. At the same time, he thought that these things were almost enough, and he could slowly make other things later. First, he would use these things to make Tianlang City famous for its food.
