The captain of the Enterprising quickly arranged the people who stayed on board. Fortunately, this wharf is a top-level wharf with a high level of security, and at the same time it has the guarantee of the suffering church. So as long as the minimum number of manpower on board is enough. And listening to what the young priest said, the hotel should be very close to the pier, so it just happened to be convenient for the sailors to work round the clock.

"Thank you for allowing us to disembark, Lord Lord." Watching the sailors, the guards, and the tauren all walk down the springboard and get off the boat. The first mate on the Enterprise like Lawrence thanked him. In his impression, those ships belonging to the nobles have a lot of rules. For example, in today's situation, most nobles will only bring their own servants and personal guards to disembark, because they think that those sailors are too vulgar and will damage their image if they disembark.

"It's okay." Lawrence waved his hand gently and said, "After all, everyone has worked hard these past few days, and indeed should take a good rest. Especially you sailors, the ship can only get here as fast as possible these days. It depends on your efforts. Therefore, you should be rewarded accordingly."

"Of course, staying here for a few days and training for a while is just a basic reward." Lawrence said seriously, "When I go back, I will individually commend those who have made outstanding contributions, such as encountering danger on the ship. At the time of the crisis, the sailors in the power cabin where they were born were finally successfully helped everyone escape. Another example is you and Mr. Captain, the first mate who commanded the emergency in a crisis—"

Just as Lawrence was chatting with the chief mate, the crew had arrived on the dock and lined up. After watching everyone get ready, Lawrence and the others ended the discussion and greeted the people who stayed behind, and then took the two-way ashore personnel who lined up in two columns along the pier under the leadership of the young priest of the Crucifixion Church. The path above went in the direction of the buildings outside the port area.

I have to say that as the capital of Erythion, the three great powers of the New World, Ilysia. The infrastructure of this city is very good. Lawrence can feel that the wharf built with huge stone bars is strong and spacious. There are also traces of melted metal reinforcement on some of the important supporting stones.

And with the passage of time, the construction of the city has not stopped. For example, now these ancient megalithic piers that should have been built in the same way as cities have been erected on rails for steam cranes to move, and at the end of the rails, a huge crane stands there.

In addition, there are gas or oil lamps everywhere on the piers of the coastline to illuminate the piers like daylight. I can see some sailing boats or more advanced steam sailing boats on the pier in the distance. At this time, they are leaning on the shore to load or unload. Several steam cranes are busy coming and going on the pier. They don’t seem to be quieter than during the day Where to go.

Because the two steam sailing ships were captured in the previous eradication of pirates, the skilled sailors originally brought from the Old World had to be scattered on several ships to bring the old and the new to move these ships. But in this way, even the Enterprising has a lot of locally recruited sailors, and some local sailors have basically been dangling on those small islands before, and they have never seen what a modern big city looks like. .

As a result, when everyone left the wharf area and walked onto the street, there was a chattering voice from the team. There is quite a feeling of a countryman entering the city. Fortunately, the chief officer and several senior sailors maintained order, so there was no uncivilized behavior, nor did it affect other people.

After entering the hotel smoothly, everyone ate a sumptuous dinner and went to bed early to rest. After enjoying a buffet breakfast in the morning the next morning, the crew of the Enterprise were divided into teams according to cabins and occupations to go around the city, while Lawrence took Nara straight to several churches in the city. Away.

For example, churches like knowledge churches and agricultural churches are all they need to visit one by one. After all, the two sides have had a lot of cooperation before, and the cooperation has been very happy. So this kind of courtesy visit is a must.

When visiting the agricultural church, Lawrence specially gave out newly developed black tea and tea tree seeds as gifts, and the staff of the agricultural church was very interested in this new tea variety. For them, whether it is cultivating new crop varieties or developing new uses for old crops, it is something to celebrate. 04 Novel

In addition, the two sides now have a certain degree of cooperation, so when Lawrence and the others visited, a high priest came out to accompany them and asked about black tea selection and fermentation. Lawrence simply talked about how to choose black tea and how to ferment it.

Unlike the White Eagle Federation, the Elysian Empire uses the Radenim language. Fortunately, this language was included in the gift package of the God of Knowledge last time so that he can communicate directly without translating or using it. magic.

The content that was said is all the most basic theoretical content, and there is not much practical knowledge. Because black tea will definitely be a luxury in the future, it is also important to keep it secret in certain places to avoid being learned by others. As for the disclosure of the basic part, it will not bring any danger to the black tea industry on New Sauer Island, but will help the promotion of this new type of beverage.

After all, fermentation is a very delicate work, and even a little bit of the final product tastes will be very different. Not to mention that the fermentation of different varieties of tea needs to be fine-tuned in order to be perfect. It is difficult for other regions to replicate the special environment created by natural and artificial co-production on the island of Neuschauer, which cuts off the possibility of others to imitate from the source.

"This is a very good new beverage variety, at least for all the beverages currently on the market. It is not low competitive. If it develops well, maybe one day we can sell these tea back to Aurora." After listening to Lawrence's introduction and drinking a few cups of tea, the senior priest spoke highly of black tea.

Especially after tasting the black tea with condensed milk and sugar, the priest liked this drinking method very much. It is clear that most people here should like this tea.

"Yes, it's a pity that the only bad point is that the planting of tea trees requires high water and heat conditions. There are not many places that can be planted." Lawrence said helplessly. At least in the New World, there are not many places to meet the subtropical hills. Although a large area of ​​flat land is a good thing for most crops, tea is an exception.

"If I remember correctly, there are hills on the windward side of the mountainous area in the central part of the empire. They should be very suitable for growing tea." Worthy of being a senior priest of the Agricultural Church, the middle-aged woman in front of him quickly came up with her own. A place suitable for growing tea in the jurisdiction. "And when the empire tried to grow tea in the first place, it was that place."

"But the tea in that place is more bitter than the tea in your hands, so the empire finally had to abandon its planting plan~lightnovelpub.net~ The priest shook his head, suddenly thinking of something and asked." What is the effect of your fermentation method on the more bitter local tea? "

Because they wanted to visit the agricultural church, Lawrence and the others, in addition to the prepared black tea, also delivered some fresh tea that Nora had installed on the mountain for processing. After chewing some fresh tea leaves, the priest clearly discovered the difference between the local tea and the tea they brought with Lawrence.

"If the taste is more bitter, then the fermentation needs to be strengthened." Nara reminded with a shrug, "but if you do this, the floral or fruity aroma of the tea itself will be damaged, so the tea may not taste good. The batch we are making now tastes good."

"If it only caused a certain amount of damage to the original flavor, then the problem is not big." After recalling the taste of the tea he had tasted just now and comparing it with the taste of the domestic tea he had tasted before, the priest said with a smile. "After all, the imperial tea is to take the road of daily beverages sold in large quantities, so the quality of a little bit does not affect this positioning."
