From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

To put it bluntly, Hewell's matter was just a small episode. If he hadn't violated his oath, he might not have been worthy of Marquis Daniel's eyes, let alone so many words.

But this did not delay Marquis Daniel from joking with Krober.

"Look, it has only been so long before someone with a unique vision has bet on you. You are indeed my grandson. He is so outstanding!"

The words full of teasing came from the mouth of Marquis Daniel next to Krober, which made Krober roll his eyes at the boss.

When getting along with his relatives, Krober can have some body movements that are suitable for his current age, such as this eye roll, which he can't even do if you ask him to do so.

But for Marquis Daniel, this was because his grandson was close to him, and not only was he not angry, he actually laughed louder.

"Okay grandpa, it's noon, it's almost time to eat. I'll take you to try the good things I discovered from the waters near Black Feather Island."

Since it was his grandfather's first visit to the territory, Crobot prepared a large number of novel foods that were not seen in Corolla City.

Marquis Daniel didn't think much about it. He was a great Marquis. What didn't he eat?

He just thought that his grandson was worried that he was hungry after coming all the way, and looking at the time, it was indeed almost meal time, so he got up and followed Krober to the restaurant to eat.

The servants of the castle had already placed the food prepared by Krober on everyone's table.

It is worth mentioning that this world implements a meal-sharing system. The meal-sharing system is a dining method in which staple foods and dishes are distributed into tableware according to the principle of equal quantities for each diner to enjoy alone.

Behind each seat at the table, there is a servant responsible for adding food and pouring wine for the guests.

In order to welcome this time, Crobot recruited a group of temporary servants from the territory a few days in advance and asked them to be responsible for serving dishes and taking care of the guests.

As everyone came to the restaurant, a strong aroma hit their faces.

This fragrance is mixed with the salty smell of the sea breeze, but it is not fishy, ​​but has a certain fresh and sweet feeling.

Everyone sat down one after another, looking forward to what kind of delicacies Krober would serve them this time. The taste was so delicious just by smelling it.

Krober clapped his hands, and servants filed in one after another, carrying exquisite ceramic dinner plates in their hands--this was tableware that Krober bought at a large price from an ocean-going merchant.

Everyone opened the lid and found that inside the plate was a kind of green leafy vegetable that they had never seen before. It looked wilted and not very fresh.

Seeing everyone's confused look, Krober smiled and explained to them:

"This is a plant I found in the sea near Black Feather Island. I named it Big Leaf Seaweed. It contains various nutrients. The most intuitive one is that it can treat "big neck disease" and make you feel full." It is strong and can be stored as portable military rations after being dried. It is rich in salt and can greatly improve the current situation of the family spending a lot of money on importing refined salt every year.”

After hearing Krober's introduction, everyone focused their attention on the ordinary green plants on the plate, as if they couldn't believe that such an inconspicuous "weed" could have such an effect.

Marquis Daniel was still well-informed and quickly recovered from his surprise. He used the cutlery to roll up some seaweed from the dinner plate and put it into his mouth.

The moment it entered his mouth, Marquis Daniel's eyes widened slightly, and an unprecedented sense of experience came from his mouth.

crisp!

After chewing with the teeth, the seaweed collided in the mouth and was crispy. This was the first feeling that the seaweed brought to Marquis Daniel.

salty!

After the seaweed is bitten open, it contains a small amount of juice and has a very salty taste. The price of salt, which symbolizes the salty taste, is very high in the territory of the Golden Rose family.

Seeing that Marquis Daniel had started, everyone put the seaweed into their mouths one after another. Under the dual stimulation of the fresh experience and the taste of the sea, they all showed satisfaction.

"It's really delicious! It's like the whole person is surrounded by the sea breeze... What is this called?"

"It's called Seaweed, you idiot! You should listen to what Master Clobber has to say!"

"You are the idiot! The young master has already founded a new family, so he should be called your lord!"

As a golden rose from an inland family, I have never eaten food with such a sea flavor, so the moment the seaweed entered my mouth, I was conquered by the taste of seaweed.

After enjoying the seaweed, Marquis Daniel wiped his mouth before focusing on what Krober said before.

"You said this seaweed can cure big neck disease? Is it true?"

No wonder Marquis Daniel was surprised. Corolla City and other territories were inland areas. Normally, nobles would not be willing to spend extravagance and waste when eating salt, let alone the common people below.

If the people of the territory hadn't used animal blood to cook food, most of the civilians in the territory might not even have the energy to farm.

But even so, there are still a large number of patients with big neck disease in the Golden Rose territory.

"Yes, Grandpa, seaweed is not only rich in salt, but also contains a trace element called "iodine", which can treat big neck disease."

Marquis Daniel couldn't understand what trace elements were, but he could understand that seaweed did have the effect of treating big neck disease, and that was enough.

"Can seaweed be cultivated on a large scale? If possible, the Golden Rose family's caravan will purchase it on a large scale. Don't worry about the price. The most important thing our family lacks is money!"

If it can be cultivated on a large scale, the price of seaweed will not be more expensive than refined salt. At that time, he can not only save a lot of money, but also improve the lives of the people.

Marquis Daniel suddenly felt fortunate that he allowed Krober to become the Baron of Black Feather Island. He had just taken office and solved a huge problem that had troubled the family for many years.

"It has not yet reached the level of large-scale cultivation. The nobles who ruled by the sea before only treated seaweed as weeds. I only discovered the existence of seaweed when I found a coral reef in the sea southeast of Black Feather Island."

"And the growth environment of seaweed is relatively harsh. It can only survive in the coastal areas or reef areas of shallow seas. At present, Black Feather Island has achieved large-scale cultivation, but after conquering the Holy Beast Island, we can consider large-scale cultivation."

Hearing the reason explained by Krober, Marquis Daniel expressed his understanding. No one had discovered seaweed before, or it was thrown away as weeds. Since his grandson discovered the use of seaweed, he only needed to support his grandson's actions. Anyway, his own grandson would not harm him.

Remembering the term "seaweed" in his mind, Marquis Daniel has begun to look forward to what the next dish will be.

With the action of the servant, the second dish also appeared in front of everyone.

"What is this?"

One of the members of the Golden Rose Family picked up the shell-shaped thing on the plate and asked in confusion.

Krober took it out of the plate and introduced it to everyone:

"This is also a kind of food I found near the coral reef. I named it oyster. The blood and flesh inside the shell can be used. The shell itself can be ground into powder and fed to poultry, which can make poultry grow meat faster.

More importantly... oysters also have the effect of enhancing male knights in a certain aspect."

As soon as the voice fell, the eyes of the people present lit up, and they started to peel the shells directly and began to taste the deliciousness of oysters.

"Hmm~~!!"

As soon as the oysters entered their mouths, the rich freshness filled their mouths. Some of those who were not strong in concentration were directly conquered by the deliciousness of oysters and shouted out.

Even Marquis Daniel was not immune, and was conquered by the rich flavor. He closed his eyes and savored the taste of the food.

"Lord Klober, can I buy ten kilograms to take back?"

"I want twenty kilograms!"

"I want one hundred kilograms!"

The people present began to bid, they have discovered the value of "oysters".

Whether it is aphrodisiac or not is another matter, the taste alone is enough to conquer them. (Please, who would refuse such delicious oysters?)

Klober waved his hand and explained to everyone:

"Unfortunately, oysters cannot be cultivated on a large scale at present due to the reasons they have just been discovered, but there should be a stable production of oysters in a while. At that time, I will give priority to selling them to everyone. I hope everyone can wait for a while."

As the seafood delicacies were served, the people of the Golden Rose Family seemed to feel the boundless charm of the sea, just like the surging waves, constantly beating their hearts.
