Inside the bakery, Liszt saw the fair and plump Raynor.
He didn't show much concern for his subjects, nor did he show a kind and amiable demeanor. He went straight to the point: "Raynor, how long have you been making bread?"
"I started making bread when I arrived at the flower farm, Sir Lord. I have been making bread for eighteen years." Said Raynor respectfully, "My mother used to be a kitchen maid in Tulip Castle. She taught me how to make bread. When Sir Count opened the flower farm in Flower Town, I followed him."
The history of Coral Island's development could no longer be verified. It was said that before the Grand Duke came overseas to establish a nation, Coral Island was already inhabited by humans.
Later, Sapphire Grand Duke declared Coral Island to be owned by the kingdom and sent officials to govern it.
It was already twenty years ago when Lee William Tulip was conferred the title of Earl Of Coral Island due to his military exploits. At that time, Levis was just two years old and Lvera and Liszt had not yet been born. In those years, the count bought serfs wantonly to enrich Coral Island and reclaim the wasteland.
Eighteen years ago, a new Tulip was discovered in Flower Town, for which the count reclaimed the flower farm.
At its peak, Tulip reached two hundred mu, and the small castle was built at that time.
The following year, seventeen years ago, as more and more serfs gathered on the flower farm, Flower Town was built. Raynor went from being a baker who made bread for the flower farm to being a baker in a small town and settled down there. Life in the small town was hard, but Raynor quite enjoyed it.
In a flash, eighteen years passed.
He had become the richest commoner in Flower Town.
Liszt then asked: "Have you been making black bread?"
"I occasionally make some white bread, especially on New Year's Day. Also, when commoners get married, they will order a little white bread from me."
"How is your white bread craftsmanship?"
"I … I don't know, Sir Lord." "But Mrs. Abby of the castle has tasted my white bread, and she says it tastes very good."
Next to him, Raynor's wife suddenly interjected: "Sir Lord, Mrs. Abby also said that she wants to study milk bread with Raynor. She said that Sir Lord likes it very much."
"Sir Lord didn't ask you anything. Who allowed you to speak?" Raynor glared at his wife before hurriedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, Sir Lord. Rebecca is a foolish woman. She has offended your dignity, Sir Lord."
Liszt didn't mind.
He was not a prickly nobleman who could not take the slightest offence. Besides, he did not feel that Rebecca's interjection was an offence.
On the contrary, he was very happy that Abby was cooperating with Rainier to make milk bread.
He was supportive of food research, so he said with a smile, "Rainer, the castle needs bread with a better texture. Since you have communicated with Mrs. Abby, then very well, create more bread with different tastes. Don't be afraid of not being able to sell it. As long as it tastes good, the castle will purchase it in large quantities. "
Raynor was overjoyed.
This was exactly what he wanted. He accepted the order on the spot and said: "Sir Lord, please rest assured, Raynor and Mrs. Abby will definitely study milk bread and more new types of bread with a wonderful taste."
"I look forward to it."
Liszt got up and added: "I like to add a little meat to bread, but the roasted meat is too dry and hard to match with bread. Perhaps, you can try to make the meat very soft, like mixing it with bread. Perhaps it will taste good."
"Raynor will remember!"
… …
It was estimated that Raynor and Abby would have to study for at least ten days to half a month before they could make meat floss bread or some other new type of bread. At least, before Liszt attended Levis's birthday party, he would not be able to complete this task.
Soon, it would be August 16.
There were only three days left before Levis's birthday. After his birthday, Levis would be twenty-three years old. At his age, the count and Melissa had already given birth to him. However, Levis had not found a suitable marriage partner and remained single.
Lord Knight Lähden sent Levis's birthday invitation from Tulip Castle.
After receiving the invitation, the butler Carter began to get busy preparing the gift: "Master, are we really only going to use seafood as a birthday gift?"
He asked with some uncertainty. Liszt had told him to just send some seafood as a gift.
However, seafood was the cheapest food in the Flower Town, even cheaper than rye bread. It was everywhere on the East Coast. Not only fishermen, but even serfs would pick up some shells to eat.
Liszt read the book without raising his head: "Mr. Carter, apart from seafood, what other specialties of the Flower Town are worth bringing out?"
This rhetorical question left Carter speechless.
The remote town really did not have any praiseworthy specialties. He still tried his best to think: "Master, perhaps we can send some of the Thorns Ridge's wild fruits."
"No, no, no. I have been poisoned by eating wild fruits. Although I have already distinguished the types of wild fruits, but there are still risks."
"Apologies, Master, I was rash."
"This is nothing. After all, the castle picks a lot of wild fruits every day. We are already used to it. I just feel that sending wild fruits is not a good sign."
It was because of wild fruits that Liszt had occupied his predecessor's body and memories. Of course, he would not disregard wild fruits.
He had ordered people to pick and experiment on all the wild fruits in the Thorns Ridge. In the end, he found two types of poisonous fruits. One of them was the black date fruit that had poisoned his predecessor. The black date fruit was the size of a fist and was slightly purplish black in color.
The other wild fruits were edible.
However, there was no guarantee that there were no poisonous wild fruits in the depths of the Thorns Ridge. The wild fruits were picked by the bold serfs from the fruit trees at the edge of the Thorns Ridge.
There were also some fruit trees in the small town, but not many and only a few fruits could be borne.
Liszt had already ordered people to collect the seeds of all kinds of wild fruits, preparing to plant them in batches at the beginning of next spring. Unfortunately, there was no guarantee that they would germinate. Without sprite worms, the growth of wild fruit trees was bound to be a difficult process. It was not that the serfs had not thought of planting them, but that they could not survive.
For the time being, the castle's wild fruits could only be picked from the Thorns Ridge.
Rejected as a birthday gift, Carter did not know what gift he should send that was more suitable than seafood.
Unexpectedly, Liszt remembered that ordinary wild fruits from the Thorns Ridge were not suitable to send, but there were still many fragrant coconuts on the East Coast: "Calculating the time, a batch of fragrant coconuts should have matured. Mr. Carter, contact the fruit farmers and have them pick a bag of fragrant coconuts. Match the fragrant coconuts with seafood as a gift. "
"Yes, Master."
… …
August 19th.
Early in the morning, Liszt put on his leather armor and the Redblood Sword. When the sun had just risen, he set off with his retainer Knight, welcoming the warm wind.
