Farming with Entries: From Lord to Emperor Chapter 78 - 74: Breath of Frost

At night, inside the new tavern log cabin in Frost Leaf Town.

"In the na of the Lord, I welco you to the Frost Breath Tavern."

Luo De’s eyes swept over everyone’s faces.

Durant, Lawrence, Doron, Otto, and so on.

The tavern’s trial opening welcod only Luo De’s confidants and close associates.

Luo De raised his glass and raised his voice, "To celebrate the town’s first tavern, tonight’s drinks are on the Lord!"

"Long live the Lord!"

Everyone cheered and was filled with joy, especially the soldiers, whose voices almost pierced through the roof.

Despite Durant’s instruction that each person could drink at most three glasses, they were still enthused by the Lord’s generosity.

Durant stood up and raised his glass, "To the Lord!"

"To the Lord!"

Everyone raised their glasses together and drank the liquor.

"Drink to your heart’s content!"

At Luo De’s command, the waitresses in the tavern began to get busy.

The tavern not only had wine but also delicious food and the beauty that everyone liked.

Luo De didn’t have to worry about these; Lawrence had already selected so age-appropriate girls willing to mingle with the crowd to fulfill everyone’s pursuit of beauty.

"Thank you for making my dream co true, having a tavern with only my wine."

By the bar, Katie personally filled Luo De’s glass and raised it to him.

It must be said, Katie’s wine was quite good, with a rich fruity aroma, full of natural fragrance.

"Just a bit sour, maybe girls would prefer it."

Luo De couldn’t help but comnt after drinking it.

"You’re right, my Lord, actually I had to modify the recipe a bit because of the scarcity of honey in the territory."

Katie explained helplessly.

"Hmm, I will solve this issue in the future."

Luo De knew that there were currently very few things in the territory that could add sweetness.

But once the wheat and barley were in, this issue would be partially resolved.

"Actually, you can solve this issue now by adding so fruits to enhance the sweetness."

Luo De further explained, "The taste of wine doesn’t have to be what it cos out as; you can add different things to change it."

"For example, juice squeezed from crushed fruits, herbal juice, or birch sap, and so on."

"I’m just giving so examples; you can try out and taste the specific flavors by yourself."

"Once you blend so suitable flavors, even if Frost Breath only has Wild Strawberry Wine right now, it won’t only have one flavor."

Luo De’s words made Katie’s eyes gradually brighten.

"Using various foods to blend special flavors with the strawberry wine, I get it!"

She exclaid with delight, "You are truly brilliant!"

Luo De smiled without saying anything.

Although he hadn’t been to a bar in his previous life, he had watched television, so it wasn’t surprising.

"In addition, co up with so nice-sounding nas and write so touching stories based on them."

"For example, this Wild Strawberry Wine with its alluring fruity aroma and sour yet slightly sweet taste, wouldn’t it have a bittersweet flavor similar to the love story of young children from two opposing noble families?"

Luo De slightly altered the love story of Roo and Juliet and narrated it at ease.

However, Luo De didn’t have the heart to mistreat them, and just changed the ending to the two being regretful for life.

"You can na it, Early Spring, Forbidden, or Pleasure and Pain, sothing like that."

"Once you add so honey fruit pieces to the blend, you can na it Gentle Fragrance, along with Katie and Doron’s love story..."

Luo De spoke eloquently, adding a bit of artistic flair, which everyone listened to with great interest.

Especially the waitresses, who were all drawn to Luo De’s storytelling, and Avril rested her chin on her hand, listening intently, occasionally frowning or sweetly smiling along with the rhythm of Luo De’s story.

As for Katie, the protagonist of the story, her cheeks were rosy, showing a sweet smile, and she glanced from ti to ti at Doron, who was seated at the next table.

"The Lord is truly amazing; how co I didn’t taste these flavors and stories?"

Doron held his glass, puzzled as he tasted the wine and smacked his lips, "I still find beer more satisfying to drink."

Durant chuckled without saying anything, as his companion Stella was also attentively listening.

Next to him, Lawrence rolled his eyes at Doron.

"What do you know?"

"Is this story for you to hear? How many Silver Coins do you have? These are stories for the aristocrats and ladies!"

"The Lord is simply a genius businessman!"

Lawrence looked at Luo De with admiration, "At banquets, the aristocrats talk about politics, while the aristocratic ladies prefer to discuss love.

When an aristocratic lady swirls her glass and listens to a beautiful and tragic love story hidden in the wine, who can resist tasting a glass of such wine?

Not every aristocratic lady likes to drink, but they all long for love.

When all the aristocratic ladies grow fond of our wine, will we still fear not having any Gold Coins?"

"No, I must quickly get so paper and write down these stories to sell them along with the wine when rchants co next ti!"

Lawrence got up and hurried back to the estate.

...

The simple trial opening didn’t last long.

Luo De, not having a habit of drinking, left after finishing his storytelling.

Although the girls hadn’t heard enough, Luo De needed to rest early.

The next day, Luo De still got up early to arrange new tasks.

With the October harvest approaching, many things needed to be arranged ahead of ti.

The first to be built was the threshing ground, followed by temporary warehouses, and for future storage, a large number of barrels and sacks were still needed.

The threshing ground is the core site for grain processing, where drying and threshing are to be carried out.

If Black Pine Ridge harvests more than 1,200 tons of grain this year, the previous small wheat ground won’t suffice.

To quickly dry these grains, an estimated minimum of 10,000 square ters of threshing ground is needed, and best if 15,000 square ters are available.

Such a large area cannot be built in one place, so Luo De plans to construct five threshing grounds.

One at the downwind side of the town, and the other four near the fields outside the town, to be processed collectively after the autumn harvest and then transported back to town.

Since threshing is required, the ground must be dry, hard, and clean.

The threshing ground must be built on relatively flat land, then dug half a ter deep, with the bottom layer paved with crushed stones to ensure drainage and moisture-proofing.

The middle layer is ramd with clay and quickli, providing a solid foundation while absorbing moisture.

Quickli cannot co into direct contact with the grain; the top layer is a mixture of li and fine sand, compacted and ground smooth to form a practical threshing ground.

Fortunately, the construction period is long, so Luo De temporarily dispatched thirty people to build the first threshing ground and to familiarize themselves with the process.

Quickli is the most practical desiccant and can also kill bacteria.

Frost Leaf Town needs not only to build above-ground granaries but also underground cellars.

The cellars are dark and damp, which is exactly where quickli is needed to absorb moisture.

In the future, road construction will also require a large amount of li, so Luo De imdiately increased manpower.

Luo De instantly assigned thirty more people to quarry and calcine listone.

Such work is largely simple and brutal, left to the Wildman, while the rest, which requires a bit of technical skill, is handled by other slaves.

Once the threshing grounds were arranged, Luo De arranged for the stone mason to make millstones for pressing wheat.

Another thing Luo De wanted was a windmill.
