Chapter 232: Foggy Day
Overnight, the manor was shrouded in white fog.
When the people in the manor opened the door, they saw a vast sea of white clouds.
The rolling mist is like a living river, flowing slowly in front of the door.
"Outside! There is white water outside!"
The Cloda man, who had seen this kind of thing for the first time, shouted in panic, trying to use his voice to call more companions.
"It happens here every year. Just wait in the room. Don't go out. It won't be quiet until noon."
Pumixiu's voice came from the other side.
Soon more and more people opened their doors.
Emma and Bull led people to light a fire in the manor, and the Shepherdess, Edie, and Manderkru's family lit a bonfire outside the lumber camp.
Visibility is extremely low in this foggy weather, and even a torch cannot illuminate a place five meters away.
Lawrence and the others also got up quickly. Salil was combing her hair and looking at the window.
"It's this time again."
Lawrence took out his calendar board to record. Last year's foggy day was five days later, but this year's foggy day came earlier.
After noting the date of this year's fog, Lawrence went downstairs to eat with Saryl and Sophia.
Both Kohalan and Delenn were already sitting near the dining table, and Lathander also came out of the house to enjoy a hearty breakfast.
After sitting down, Lawrence said: "The fog will last for two or three days before it dissipates. Let everyone rest at home today and don't go out."
Emma said: "They have been notified, and the new people also know about it. It's just that it's hard to notify people at the bottom of the mountain."
In heavy fog, the mountain roads that were originally easy to walk will become extremely dangerous. At this time, let alone going down the mountain, even going out to use the toilet, you have to be careful about bumping into people.
Lawrence looked at Delen and asked, "Have you never seen heavy fog before?"
"No." Delen replied, "We don't have this kind of fog there, it's always warm."
Lawrence nodded, the fog was indeed Caused by the cooling weather.
"There are Pumi Xiu people on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain. The Pumi Xiu people are also aware of the situation here. Just like the eternal night, everyone just waits patiently."
Salil said: "This is the only thing we can do now. Let's play cards together after dinner! Lawrence, do you want to join us?"
There are enough people in the family at present, and a maximum of four people can play cards, so someone must be watching.
Lawrence said: "You guys have fun, I have to think about the water mill today, and next year we will expand here, and I want to think about how to build a house." "
Yeah! Okay!" Salil said happily: "Hurry up. Eat, think quickly after eating."
Although the current house is already very big, Salil is still looking forward to a bigger house.
After the meal, the maids cleared the table and cleaned, and the hostesses went upstairs to play cards and chat.
Lawrence went to the warehouse and built a model of a water-powered mill out of wooden blocks.
The technology of making a water-powered mill was very important, more important than the mill itself.
After copying this set of technology, waterwheels and cranes can also be built.
More wheels and axles are needed, and more precise and stable axles need to be made.
In the future, water truck systems can also be used for highly repetitive tasks such as irrigation, papermaking, and processing.
The theory is a theory. Lawrence repeatedly thought about and tried related technologies. As soon as he started, he felt that there were too many things to pave the way.
After a man was tired, he lay down on the wool carpet to rest. Lawrence temporarily stopped thinking about the wheel and turned to think about the rest of the things in the manor.
"I originally wanted to discuss going to sea with Friesen today."
"I don't know..." Lawrence suddenly came up with a very dangerous idea, but it was very consistent with the thinking of a barbarian.
"With my current strength, can I rob Red Beard?"
Lawrence thought about this question seriously. "The main masters on Red Beard's side are Red Beard and Andrew. There are also some smaller bosses who are more powerful than Friesen." "
Andrew will definitely not fight with us. After all, we are closer here."
"As for Red Beard... ...It feels like it would take at least five or six fierce men to deal with him."
Lawrence counted the combat units on his side.
Except for a few witches who are reluctant to use it, there are not many others who can fight it.
It's okay to bully the weaklings. If they really fight with Red Beard, both sides will lose.
It's not that they can't fight, the main reason is that they can't bear to have Salil, Delen and others injured.
"Forget it, we can't deal with Avari and Uribe without zero death. If we really fight with Redbeard and the others, another group of people I have cultivated with great difficulty will die." "I feel like I am fighting with
Valkyrie now . Compared with the Count, he is still too weak, alas!"
Lawrence quickly became determined, "We should still find foreign aid. On the one hand, we can develop trade to obtain more supplies, and on the other hand, we can recruit some barbarians who have nothing to do to work for me."
" After the fog clears, we will use the sleigh team to go out and see if we can visit the barbarian tribes in the south." "
Those barbarians often go out to rob, and they obviously need a channel to sell their stolen goods. If someone hires them to fight, as long as If the reward is appropriate, I should be able to win them over."
"Before you use these barbarians, you must first prevent them from having evil intentions and thinking that it would be more appropriate to rob me."
Lawrence thought about the idea that just came to him. , Civilized people like myself think about robbery all day long, and the group of barbarians outside will only be worse than ourselves.
"Let's make more weapons during the winter. I'm going to have a look at the blacksmith shop."
"Help them make a bellows."
Lawrence couldn't make a windmill or waterwheel, so he quickly relaxed his mind and made a simpler hand-pulled one. Type blast box.
This thing can not only be used in stoves, but can also be used to forge iron to increase the temperature of the flame.
The mountain forest looks particularly quiet in the foggy weather, and it is another scene in the big house with dim lights.
As the lord, Lawrence was carefully making tools on the first floor, while the two maids were taking care of the children in the room, or lying on the bed and taking a nap.
The women on the second floor were concentrating on playing cards.
Salil thought of something, dropped the wooden sign and went to the cupboard, squatting down and rummaging for something.
Sophia takes Saryl's place and plays cards with three other witches.
While a few people were playing cards, Salil came over holding a box.
"These are the potato slices Lawrence made last time. I'm just hungry. Let me try them."
Salil grabbed three potato slices and put them in her mouth.
"Kacha~Kacha~Kacha~"
Salil swallowed the potato slices under the watchful eyes of several people, "It's not delicious, it just tastes like potatoes."
Kharan also felt that the potato chips were not delicious, but after hearing the sound of Salil eating the potato slices, he Want to try it too.
"You can take out the honey and eat it with honey."
Salil thought for a moment and nodded quickly: "Okay!"
In the past, Lawrence would be scolded by Salil if he even wanted to drink a bowl of sugar water. Now, Salil and others can do whatever he wants. Just eat some snacks and dip them in honey!
The combination of the originally mediocre potato slices and honey instantly whetted the appetites of several people.
Especially Sofia, who kept reaching out to grab the potato chips.

Everyone happily bit the potato slices and made exciting sounds.
Soon potato chips became a more popular food among girls than fried chicken!
