Lord of the Oasis

Date Palm Honey Candy is really simple for Salander people who are good at planting dates and keeping bees.

This temporary task from the system is not a problem.

Kant returned to the fortress and came to the sugar factory.

It was probably not used for a long time, and the tools and utensils inside had fallen into layers of dust, but overall, the sugar workshop was neatly packed, and the various tools and utensils were mostly well maintained.

While checking, two burly Salander riders strode over.

Seeing Kant standing in the room, he knocked on the door lightly, bowed respectfully and said, "Lord Kant, look for us."

"That's right." Kant nodded.

When he returned to the fortress, he ordered the peasants to run errands and called for two Salanders to come.

As summoned by the lord, this group of Salanders of different ranks are naturally the oldest and the two Salander riders, who are also the 4th-level arms, came to listen to the order.

Kant didn't care about this, but asked, "Can you make sugar?"

"Sugar making?"

The two Salander riders looked at each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, the two did not answer yes or no, but said, "We know how to make date palm candy, and we have seen it made by artisans in a sugar workshop before."

There was also hesitation in their words, obviously lack of confidence.

Kant nodded: "That is, haven't you made it yourself?"

"Sorry, Lord Kant."

The two Salander riders bowed their heads in shame, which was obviously the reason for their lack of confidence.

As elite level 4 cavalry, they are better at drawing out elite scimitars and fighting the enemy on the battlefield, rather than discussing the problem of boiling sugar with Kant here.

After pondering slightly, Kant looked up and asked, "Then do you know the process?"

"I know." The two nodded.

Kant smiled and said, "That's easy,

Knowing the process is enough. "

Although I have never made it myself, it is enough to know the process of how to make sugar. After all, the technical content of sugar making is not very high. If you know the process in advance, you can successfully make sugar after a few more experiments.

Soon, the tools and utensils in the sugar workshop were cleaned.

Even the fire has been raised, and the accumulated charcoal is burning in the crackle, glowing with a fiery red light.

"Lord Lord, the honey has been fetched." The Salander rider walked over quickly from the door.

He was holding a small clay pot in his arms, and a sweet smell came faintly inside.

"Good job." Kant nodded and reached out to take it.

The amber honey is in a small half-jar, which is the stock in the 10 hives. Of course, he did not let the rider take out all of them, but only a little bit. After all, desert bees cannot reproduce without them. food honey.

And right next to it, on the stove of the sugar factory, the sweetness spreads.

An iron pot is cooking the ground coconut powder.

The reddish-brown liquid inside gradually became viscous, which was the overflow of sugar in the date palm powder.

"Add honey."

Kant has already heard the process of boiling sugar described by rider Sarand, tilting the clay pot holding the honey directly, pouring all the amber sweet honey into the iron pot, and mixing it with the boiled date palm powder.

At the same time, the rider next to him was constantly reconciling with a wooden stick.

When the aroma is strong, sprinkle in a little flour, and the liquid in the whole iron pan will become extremely thick later.

"It's almost done."

The two Salander riders looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

The reddish-brown thick liquid became viscous, and it was a little difficult to stir with a wooden stick, but this was the moment when the date palm honey candy was about to be made. The reddish-brown liquid in the iron pot could be called sugar liquid.

"Very good." Kant nodded with satisfaction.

The first time I boiled the sugar, I was lucky.

The two Salander riders did not relax. They carefully poured the sugar liquid in the iron pot into the container prepared next to them. After they had cooled down a little, they were patted with their hands to fix the shape. After cooling completely, they were cut into pieces. The sugar content is very high and the honey-flavored date palm sugar candy, if you add some dried fruit, then this is the most popular delicacy of the Sarand.

Just the current sentry oasis without any dried fruit yet.

The sugar liquid cools quickly.

Pulling out his sheathed machete, the Salander rider cut it into finger-sized chunks, the reddish-brown color from the date palm is very conspicuous, and the enticing sweetness is even more wonderful.

"Sir, please try it." The two said respectfully.

"Okay." Kant didn't refuse, just picked up the block and put it in his mouth.

As he bit his teeth, the rich sweetness of dates suddenly filled his mouth, mixed with the scent of honey, which made his tongue feel the amazing sweetness that belongs to sugar, and his saliva kept secreting.

At the same time, a dialog box popped up instantly on the retina.

[Ding... After your constant research, you have mastered the technology of making sugar. 】

[Temporary mission: "The Beginning of the Sugar Workshop" completed]

[Task reward: peasant women × 50]

[Introduction: Being able to eat sugar is undoubtedly a happy thing, and the same is true for commoners. This taste represents happiness, can make people forget their troubles, and the power of sugar is no less than that of salt at some point. 】

Temporary task completed.

Kant looked at the hundreds of sugar cubes in front of him, the reddish-brown appearance was quite attractive.

"Put it away." He instructed the two riders, and said at the same time, "Clean up this workshop. I think in the future, there will be many peasant women in our territory who will come to make sugar full-time."

"Yes, Lord." The two nodded.

The task has been completed, and Kant walked towards the Consulate Hall.

Next, when the peasant women arrive, they will be responsible for tasks such as cooking sugar.

Walking on the street, Kant turned his head to look at the empty sandy fields around him, and he thought about it. Next, he would not only lead his troops to retake the salt mines and sweep away those gnolls, but also seize the time to open up trade routes.

Baron Dylan won't wait too long.

Moreover, after Kant boiled these sugar cubes, he found that in future trade, sugar liquid can also be added.

The Principality of Lions is also short of sugar.

Even this kind of reddish-brown, similar to edible candy, is also scarce in the Principality of Lions.

It may not be comparable to the white granulated sugar circulated by the nobles, but these reddish-brown sugar cubes can be used as alternative luxury ingredients into the kitchens of those noble banquets, adding a bit of sweetness to the monotonous dishes.

Even Kant, the youngest son of a nobleman, couldn't fault it, which proves that the production of date palm honey candy was a complete success.

Go into the office.

The Reston Rangers at the top pass the news that a stranger is coming.

Kant naturally knew that these 50 peasant women had arrived in the far-flung Calradia continent.

"Lord Lord."

The caravan leader and Manid were still talking, but when they saw Kant come in, they stood up and saluted respectfully.

"How's it going?" Kant asked.

"All 120 gnoll slaves have been bought." Manid replied: "We got 3,600 dinars." After a pause, he reported at the same time: "But I also bought some grain, as well as oil and flax. cloth, plus a few tools."

"It's up to you to decide." Kant delegated power with confidence.

"Understood, Lord Kant." Manid nodded solemnly.

The caravan leader next to him was also envious. After all, it was definitely not easy to gain the trust of a lord.

Thinking about yourself, you once entered and left the battlefield as a Wikia rider, and later became a caravan leader after being injured. Only then did you gain some of the trust of Lord Zhivadin. Only you can know the taste of it.

The business was basically over, and the three of them chatted in the Consulate Hall.

It didn't take long before the Swadian infantry guards outside came in to report: "Lord Lord, 50 peasant women came outside, saying that they came to rely on you."

"Well, I see."

Kant nodded.

The guard stepped back and went back to the outside door to stand guard.

And Kant turned his head and said to Manid: "You can settle these peasant women."

"Understood." Manid nodded.

However, Kant tapped his fingers on the table, and his tone was a little playful: "Don't let these peasant women get up with those peasants, I don't want all these peasant women to have big stomachs when they are busy with some tasks, and even do some chores. Can't do it."

"Don't worry." Manid nodded solemnly.

Kant is telling the truth.

The current Sentinel Oasis is in a period of rapid development and changes almost every day.

At the same time, the rapid development also brings heavy and trivial work.

Now that the 50 peasant women are here, they can handle all the trivial matters, and even the peasant women can be fully responsible for boiling salt and make the best use of everything.

But this is the real world after all.

Kant's joke can indeed come true.

If those bachelor-like peasants really see eye to eye with these peasant women, and something should happen, for the current sentry oasis, it can only do more harm than good.

Now Kant has no plans to let a group of children be born in his own territory.

What's more, "Drehem" belongs to the fortress.

The military is the mainstay, and the people's livelihood economy is supplemented.

If such a situation really occurs, then Kant would prefer to get soldiers himself, and he does not want to get these pregnant women who require long-term care and are equivalent to dragging.

"These problems are easy to solve."

Kant exhaled, his expression gradually solemn.

The natural salt mine was re-occupied by gnolls, and he needed to continue to lead the team to sweep the area.

Within this month, the finest fine white salt will appear in Baron Dylan's Stone Pass, becoming Kant's good start to this guy, ensuring that the sentry oasis will no longer be watched by the vast majority of forces in the Principality of Lions. .

Development is the last word.
