Date honey candy is really simple for the Salander people who are good at growing dates and beekeeping.

This temporary task from the system is not a problem.

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

It probably hasn't been used for a long time, and the tools and utensils inside have fallen into a layer of dust, but on the whole, the sugar workshop is neatly organized, and most of the tools and utensils are in good condition.

As they looked out, two stout Salander riders strode over.

Seeing Kant standing in the room, he knocked lightly on the door, bowed respectfully and saluted, "Lord Kant, you are looking for us." ”

"That's right." Kant nodded.

On his return to the fortress, he instructed the peasants to run errands and called two Salanders to come.

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

Kant didn't care about this, but asked, "Do you know how to make sugar?" ”

"Sugar?"

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

After hesitating for a moment, the two did not answer whether they would or not, but said: "We know how to make date sugar, and we have seen the craftsmen of the sugar workshop boiling it before. ”

There was also hesitation in their words, obviously lacking confidence.

Kant nodded: "That is, has it not been made by hand?" ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Kant."

The two Salander riders bowed their heads in shame, apparently this was why they lacked confidence.

As elite level 4 cavalry, they are better at drawing out elite scimitars and fighting with the enemy on the battlefield, rather than discussing the issue of boiling sugar with Kant here, and they specialize in art, so Kant's mood is calm.

With a slight groan, Kant looked up and asked, "Then do you know the process?" ”

"Yes." The two nodded.

Kant smiled: "That's easy, it's enough to know the process." ”

Although I have not made it myself, it is enough to know how to make sugar, after all, the technical content of sugar production is not very high, and if you know the process in advance, it is a big deal to try a few more times to successfully make sugar.

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

Even the fire had risen, and the accumulated charcoal was crackling and burning inside, glowing with a fiery red glow.

"My lord, the honey has been fetched." The Salander rider walked briskly outside the door.

Holding a small clay pot in his arms, the sweet smell faintly came from inside.

"Well done." Kant nodded, reaching out to take it.

There was a small half-jar of amber honey inside, which was the stock of the 10 beehives, and of course, he didn't let the rider take it all, but only a little, after all, the desert bees could not thrive without their honey as food.

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

An iron pot is boiling ground date powder.

The reddish-brown liquid inside gradually becomes viscous, which is the sugar in the date palm powder overflowing.

"Add honey."

Kant had already heard the process of boiling sugar described by the Salander riders, tilting the clay pot holding the honey directly and pouring all the sweet amber honey into an iron pot and mixing it with the boiled date powder.

At the same time, the rider next to him was holding a wooden stick and couldn't stop reconciling.

When the aroma is strong, sprinkle a little flour in it, and later the liquid in the whole iron pot becomes extremely thick.

"It's almost done."

The two Salander riders glanced at each other, and both 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 honey candy was almost finished, and the reddish-brown liquid in the iron pot could be called sugar liquid.

"Good." Kant nodded in satisfaction.

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

The two Salander riders did not relax, carefully poured the sugar solution in the iron pot into the container prepared next to it, cooled it a little, patted it with their hands to fix the shape, and then cut it into pieces after it was completely cooled, and it became a date honey honey candy with a very high sugar content and a very honeyy flavor.

It's just that the current sentry oasis doesn't have any dried fruit yet.

The sugar solution cools quickly.

Drawing his scimitar from his sheath, the Salander rider cut it into finger-sized chunks, the reddish-brown of dates conspicuous and the tantalizing sweetness of which was incomparably beautiful.

"Your Excellency, please try it." The two spoke respectfully.

"Okay." Kant didn't shirk and just picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Under the bite of his teeth, the rich sweetness of dates suddenly filled his mouth, mixed with the fragrance of honey, his tongue felt the amazing sweetness of sugar, and saliva was secreted incessantly.

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

【Ding... After a lot of study, you have mastered the art of making sugar. 】

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

[Reward: 50 peasant women×]

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

Temporary tasks completed.

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

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

"Yes, my lord." The two nodded.

The mission was accomplished, and Kant strode towards the Consulate.

Next, when those peasant women arrived, they should be responsible for these tasks such as boiling sugar.

Walking on the street, Kant turned his head to look at the empty sand around him, and thought in his heart, the next step is not only to lead the troops to recapture the salt mines, sweep away those gnolls, but also to seize the time to open trade routes.

Baron Dylan won't be waiting long.

Moreover, after Kant boiled these sugar cubes, he found that in the future trade, the sugar solution could also be added to it.

The Lion Principality is also short of sugar.

Even this reddish-brown, snack-like candy is also scarce in the Lion Principality.

It may not be comparable to the white sugar circulating among the aristocracy, but these reddish-brown sugar cubes can be used as an alternative luxury ingredient to enter the kitchens of those aristocratic banquets, adding a bit of sweetness to the monotonous dishes.

Even Kant, the young son of the aristocracy, could not find fault, which proves that the production of date honey candy cubes was completely successful.

Walk into the Consulate.

The Livingston rangers at the top deliver the news that a stranger has arrived.

Kant naturally knew that these were the 50 peasant women who had arrived in the distant continent of Calradia.

"Your Lord."

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

"How's it going?" Kant asked.

"All 120 gnolls have been bought." Manid replied: "We got 3,600 dinars. After a pause, he reported: "But I also bought some grain, as well as oil, linen, and a few tools." ”

"It's up to you to decide." Kant trusted decentralization.

"Yes, Lord Kant." Manid nodded solemnly.

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

Think about yourself, once went to the battlefield as a rider of Vecchia, and then was injured and turned into a caravan leader, only to gain some trust from the lord of Zhivadin, and the taste of it is really you can know.

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

Not long after, the Swadia infantry who were guarding outside walked in and reported, "My lord, 50 peasant women have come outside, saying that they have come to take refuge in you. ”

"yes, I see."

Kant nodded.

The guard stepped back and stood guard outside at the door.

Kant, on the other hand, turned to Manid and said, "Let you settle these peasant women." ”

"Understood." Manid nodded.

However, Kant's fingers tapped on the table, and his tone was a little playful: "Don't let these peasant women be with those peasants, I don't want these peasant women to have big bellies and can't even do some chores when some tasks are busy." ”

"Don't worry." Manid nodded solemnly as well.

Kant is telling the truth.

The current sentry oasis is in a period of rapid development and is changing almost every day.

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

Now that these 50 peasant women have arrived, they can completely handle the light and trivial matters, and even let the peasant women take full responsibility for boiling salt, and make the best use of them.

But it's the real world after all.

Kant's jokes can indeed come true.

If those peasants like the singles really look at these peasant women, something that shouldn't happen will only do more harm than good to the current sentry oasis.

Now Kant has no intention of letting a group of children be born in his own territory.

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

It is mainly military, supplemented by people's livelihood and economy.

If this were the case, then Kant would have preferred to have soldiers himself than to have these pregnant women, who needed to be cared for for a long time and were a drag on them.

"These problems are easy to solve."

Kant exhaled, his expression becoming solemn.

The Natural Salt Mine has been repopulated by the Gnolls, and he needs to continue leading the team to sweep it up.

Within this month, the finest white salt will appear in Baron Dylan's solid stone pass, which will become Kant's first start to this guy, and ensure that in the future, the sentry oasis will no longer be watched by the vast majority of the forces of the Lion Duchy.

Stuffy development is the last word.

PS: I feel that my head is still dizzy, cough cough, three more today, make up for it tomorrow, I don't drink much, I did three glasses of white yesterday, and then solved 4 bottles or 5 bottles of beer, anyway, I finally drank it to 11 o'clock, and drank two cases of beer...
