When the Saint comes, she does not collect food

Chapter 945: Rapeseed Flowers and the Bleaching Workshop
White sails are spread on the surface of the Silver Grasshopper River.

The three-headed statue of Brother Kong, Brother Meng and Brother Huo standing on the bow of the ship looked solemnly in the splashing water.

The beastmen believed that this would protect their safety.

With the establishment of the Holy Alliance, the beastmen in the deep mountains and forests gradually walked to the plains.

Due to their strong balance, besides joining the army as hussars, crew gradually became their second choice.

Along with them came their minority faith - the three angels of Dreadnought and Might.

Every time he saw the terrifying three-headed monster, Theomier would turn his head away in disgust and say, "Pagan savage."

As a top student at the Newbridge University Seminary, Theomier hates pagans the most, and he hates the heretical country of the Holy Union even more.

Originally, for the sake of Charles VIII's face, he was willing to look at the Holy League with a relatively neutral attitude.

However, what happened in the past two days made his impression of the Holy Alliance plummet.

The only son of Grand Duke Petrov was punched in the eye by a group of country farmers!

When traveling with him!
When Taiomier got the news, he felt like the sky was falling.

He shouldn't have trusted that drunkard Gloev. He got drunk and abandoned His Highness Alexei, causing all this trouble!

"You're drunk after drinking some fruit wine. You're really embarrassing the Xiongbao community!"

Gloev laughed awkwardly: "It's not the alcohol. The sun was too hot that day and I accidentally fell asleep during my nap. I don't know what happened..."

"Can the sun still make you dizzy?" Taiomier stared, "Anyway, from today on, I will follow Your Highness closely."

"We have all been noticed by the Holy Alliance, and they have assigned people to protect us. Will this happen again?"

"Hmph, hard to say." Theomir shook his head, "I don't feel their sincerity."

After committing such a serious crime, is it enough to just apologize?

Those night watchmen who dared to beat His Highness Alexi... deserve to be beheaded!

According to the Norn custom, they should be tied to the buttocks of a galloping horse and dragged for a day and a night.

But His Highness Alexei was too kind and really let the matter go.

He even specifically instructed Taiomier not to pursue the matter.

Looking up, Theomier stared at Godan and Alexi who were chatting and laughing with jealousy and emotion.

"Your Highness, you are virtuous!"

"Turn the river ahead and you'll be there."

Hearing what Godan said, Alexei couldn't wait and walked quickly to the side of the ship.

Taiomier, who noticed the situation here, hurried forward and stretched out his arms to stop them, fearing that the young bear master would fall into the water like his father.

"Just watch from here."

Damn, the Thousand River Valley is full of rivers and ominous signs.

Alexei pushed Teomiel's arm away in dissatisfaction, held onto the side of the boat, and looked towards the two banks.

The autumn weather is clear and the sky is as blue as emerald without a single white cloud or impurity.

The sun fell on the navy blue mountaintops. On the mountaintops, cattle and sheep the size of rice grains lowered their heads to graze on the bushes. The yellow, white and black ones were curled up together.

Unlike the fields of autumn barley that Alexei had seen outside the town of Lav, these were fields of rapeseed flowers.

The golden rapeseed flowers swayed in the wind like golden waves, and the mountains seemed like a solidified tsunami.

It was the first time that Alexei saw the crop of rapeseed.

To be precise, he had eaten rapeseed oil and heard of the name of Cauliflower Burger and Cauliflower King, but he had never seen it in person.

But I didn’t expect that this specialty grown on a small scale in Shijian Territory would be seen in so many places in Qianhe Valley!
Ge Dan said lightly: "These rapeseeds are not native to Qianhe Valley, but were introduced from Shijian Territory."

These rapeseeds were originally a crop exclusively owned by a Lord of Stonesword in the Norn Kingdom.

This cauliflower king relies on growing rapeseed and extracting rapeseed oil, and he looks like the richest man in the region.

King Cauliflower keeps a close watch on the source of his wealth.

He never let a single seed of rapeseed leave the manor, and he would never let any butler who was good at growing rapeseed and pressing oil leave the castle. The butlers would never betray their master and sell the secrets of rapeseed. This was about loyalty and trust! It was the bottom line of being a human being!

The steward of the manor wanted to say so, but the Holy League gave too much.

Within two years, Upper Riverside was covered with rapeseed flowers.

Fortunately, the rapeseed oil from Upper River County has not yet entered the Norn market, otherwise the prince would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

Gloev knew about this, and seeing that Taiomier was confused, he explained it in a low voice.

"Thief." Standing behind Godan, Theomier deliberately snorted in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Godan pretended not to hear and continued to introduce the dishes to the young bear master: "You usually eat stews and roasted dishes, right? You have eaten fried dishes before.

When we get to the High Castle, I will treat you to stir-fried and braised dishes, which are the cuisines personally developed by His Majesty the Saint Sun."

Godan had said earlier that in order to apologize, he would pay for all the food, drinks and entertainment for the group in the High Castle.

However, the young bear master seemed to have little interest in these food and toys. Instead, Gloyev was eager to try and couldn't wait to fly to Gaobao City.

Holding the wet rope tightly and leaning against the side of the boat, Alexei pointed to the distance and suddenly asked: "What is that?"

"It's our bleaching factory." Godin, who usually loves to talk nonsense, was particularly concise at this moment.

After all, they spent real money to buy this fabric bleaching technology from the craftsmen of Golden Wool Beach.

It's impossible to steal this technology without any evidence.

Not to mention that Alexei is the son of the Duke of Norn, even if he is the son of the Vampire Grand Duke, it won't work.

Godin was particularly alert about this matter.

Alexei did not ask any further questions, but just opened his eyes wide to look.

This is the section of the river with the most concentrated bleaching plants in Upper Rivershire, and women in white aprons can be seen everywhere along the river.

They hunched their backs, holding wooden basins filled with bleaching earth and softening solution.

Put it on the ground and soak the woolen fabric in it.

Some finer woolen fabrics even have oatmeal powder added to improve the stain removal effect.

On the river bank, surrounded by dozens of people, three giant water wheels were turning slowly.

The oak leaves carried silvery splashes of water, tearing the river water into spasming pieces of transparent silk.

Amid the squeaking sound of iron gears engaging wooden shafts, six-meter-high wooden hammers rose and fell in turn, hammering the fabric in the wooden trough tight and solid.

All of a sudden, the valley was filled with knocking sounds, like a dull axe chopping wood, making a dull thud.

The dishwashers rolled up their sleeves, wiped away their whitened fingers from blisters, and pulled the woolen cloth out from under the wooden hammer.

Then hang it up with a long pole and insert it into the sink to rinse it, using running water to wash away the cleaning solution, bleaching earth and various grease impurities on it.

The wet fabric is taken out, fixed on the cloth stretcher, and gradually stretched with small hooks to prevent shrinkage and deformation.

"So this is how woolen cloth is made..."

Looking at Alexei with his eyes wide open, Godan couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart.

This is just an appearance. If the young Norn master thinks he has learned it, he is very wrong.

Before rinsing, there is also the work of pre-soaking and preparing the medicine.

After drying, the cloth is sent to the trimming room, where it is raised (pulled out with a machine) by specialized craftsmen.

After raising the nap, the surface needs to be trimmed with large scissors to produce woolen cloth that meets the standards.

In the past, this job had to be outsourced to the French, or people had to bite the bullet and wear unwashed, rotten woolen clothes.

Let’s see how the garment factories in Jeanne d’Arc will continue to bargain for unwashed woolen cloth!
As if sensing Godan's pride, Alexei could not help but say, "We in Fat Beef Burger also have our own craftsmanship in making fur, which is not inferior to your wool."

"Indeed, indeed, we really need to learn from you in this regard." Gordon grinned, "If you learn more, you will get it."

If you learn more, you will be able to do it?
Looking at Godan's mysterious face, Alexei shuddered in the hot weather.

For a moment, he felt a little regretful that he should not have told Godan about his family's craftsmanship.
