Several people sat down, and Sheila talked about the crops suitable for growing in the eastern land in a plain tone. These days she patrols the fields every day. Although she was numb to the hard work, she didn't learn anything.

At first, Anna Leo was a little dissatisfied. After Sheila talked about the land, climate, irrigation, and agricultural tools, and finally evaluated the agricultural planting and yields in the eastern region. Anna finally got serious. Anna's husband next to her asked seriously: "Is it promising to say that growing peppers is like this?"

"The important thing is the side dishes." Sheila said as solemnly as possible. It seemed that she had not worked hard in the fields for more than a month, but had patrolled the land of the entire Ankara region. Naturally, there was an uneasiness in her heart, but Sheila believed that Anna Leo in front of her could not go to the east in person. As for Anna's housekeeper, Sheila did not think she could really have a strong ability. The more important point is that Sheila was not talking about food but cash crops. This is one of the many standard words in the Europa Province. Sheila tried to talk to them about this when she was in contact with the great nobles before. The great nobles had feelings about this, but they did not have the clear concepts and related system cognition of the Europa Province Office.

"Peak peppers are cheaper than other spices and have the best effect on the flavor. Mrs. Anna, can you stand the heat?"

After hearing this question, Anna Leo frowned slightly, "What are you going to do?"

"Please have a meal."

Two hours later, Anna stood up, took off her hood that covered her gorgeous coat, carried it to smell it, Anna snorted, and walked out of the small dining room. Anna's husband watched his wife leave, made up his mind, and picked up a piece of meat and put it in the spicy hot pot. The old man's white beard was trembling slightly, not because of excitement, but because of his face twitching slightly. The base of the Dasong spicy hot pot is made of hot peppers, peppers, minced ginger and other auxiliary ingredients. The peppers in it will make people's cheeks twitch slightly unconsciously. It was very exciting when they were eaten at first, and they would feel addicted after getting used to it.

Pepper and ginger are both specialties of the Song Dynasty. Although pepper comes from Fusangzhou, Song Dynasty also has sufficient cultivation experience. Sheila feels that if she can plant a large number of plants in the eastern region, she will definitely be able to occupy the seasoning market in Eastern Rome. Pepper and ginger can not only be used as hot pot, but also make good seasonings when steaming sea fish. At the workplace, the steamed sea fish is eaten clean every time.

The meat slices were washed in the red soup, and the vegetables were washed in the white soup made from the chicken bones. The old man put down his fork until he couldn't eat them. The old man stood up and went out to take off his shirt, took the hot towel handed over by the maid and wiped his face hard. When he walked to the living room, he saw Anna sitting on the couch and lit a cigarette and smoking.

When he walked to the sofa and sat down, the old man sighed, "This meal is so amazing."

Anna didn't go to see her husband, and picked up the rolled hot towel from the maid's tray and wiped her face again. Then she sighed: "Many people can't afford to make this seasoning."

Sheila heard the change from Anna's words, and she responded firmly: "You don't have to cook so many peppers. One or two can make people have an appetite. As long as you increase the planting volume, the price of peppers will definitely drop to the point that ordinary people can afford. Other seasonings cannot be made into chili sauce like chili peppers. Dried peppers will not break even if they are skewed together. It's summer now, and eating these feels too hot. Isn't this what everyone needs in winter?"

Although she had just wiped her face, fine sweat began to emerge from Anna's forehead. She waved her hand, and the maid came over with a tray. She picked up a towel again, wiped her face and neck. Anna turned to Sheila's mother and said, "Can I invite someone here to have dinner in a few days?"

"Of course, of course!" Sheila's mother agreed with joy.

When Anna Leo and her husband left, Sheila's mother returned to the hall happily and praised Sheila in rare ways. "Good job!"

Sheila felt very tired and was stuck in the sofa without saying a word. If Anna Leo could cooperate with Sheila with a noble who owned the eastern land, Sheila's concession would have value. This is not a one-cent commission. If it was well operated, Sheila could even get 3% to 5% of the profits. In two or three years, the money from this house could be paid off. Every money earned from the four-party payment was Sheila's own.

The mother never played the role of the seeker again. In the next two days, her mother showed that Sheila had never seen her. In addition to preparing dishes, she also asked some waiters to help. When the big guy came to Sheila's house, her mother even did not say a word of nonsense. This made Sheila look at her with admiration. It was easy to speak, and knowing when not to speak can be called wisdom.

My father thought that he had a bit of an introverted personality and was not willing to be servile to the great nobles. With his mother's help, the banquet felt like eating among the top nobles. Everyone had a happy meal and a bright chat. What he said was the evaluation of these fresh seasonings and the judgment of sales. Sheila seized the opportunity to make a brief and clear assessment of the cash crops. Sheila also found that the great nobles had a deeper understanding of the cash crops than she thought. This was also the reason why the great nobles attached great importance to the "franchise".

Since the purpose of planting is to sell it out, there is no more reliable means than franchise. If you want to eat chili, you can only buy it from a few shops controlled by aristocrats who have the franchise to ensure profits.

Perhaps it was the stimulating effect of spicy hotpot. The great nobles were very straightforward when talking about this issue. Sheila also had to say, "Everyone, I can understand your questions. I have spent so much effort, of course I hope to have decades of special sale rights. The times are changing. You have seen the past of the empire for decades. That drastic change will make all our predictions about the future fail."

The great nobles listened silently to the little noble Sheila's speech, and many people nodded slightly. Sheila saw her father's eyes lit up, and her mother looked at Sheila with great concern with her eyes that she didn't know what Sheila was saying, but she was pounding. These words were not what she thought of, but when she was working in the Europa Provincial Office. The Song people were righteous and full of condescending self-confidence when talking about history. Sheila knew that she could only learn what they said now, but could not have their calm attitude.

Trying to curb the anxiety, Sheila continued: "The only thing I can work with you is to make as stable as possible and earn as much as possible before big changes occur to resist the changes. Because we are faster than them!"

"Hmph!" Lord Zoe laughed out loud, his white beard trembled slightly, at least without any malice. With a feeling that it was difficult to distinguish the details, Lord Zoe said: "Little girl, I want you to be a viscount in my territory."

Sheila's mother's face first showed shock, and then she could not help but feel happy. The great nobles were dukes and marquises, and their territory would be granted viscounts. These little jazz would have a little fief, but they had to be responsible for some appointments of the great nobles, either finance, diplomacy, or military and intelligence. Just like a friend of the Sheila family, he had the title of Earl of Glamorgan, but this title was only rewarded for the great nobles in service to give their vassals. It is said that the last two Earls of Glamorgan died for various reasons, so that no one was interested in this title. The friend of the Sheila family owned this title according to the law of inheritance. If he did not serve, the great British nobles could be taken back at any time.

Completely ignoring my mother's expression, Sheila said as calmly as possible: "If I go, Your Excellency Zoe will inevitably be disappointed. Because I leave the Europa Provincial Office, I will not have the opportunity to serve you."

Lord Zoe did not answer, but just picked up the towel from the tray brought by the waiter and wiped his face. Sheila no longer spoke. The great nobles grasped the key to cooperation and were related to their interests, especially when they really saw the interests in their eyes, these people were very cautious.

The last dessert at the banquet was the watermelon in the cellar, which was very cool and sweet. When each nobleman left, he brought gifts from Sheila, a copper double pot and a hot pot base that could be eaten for seven or eight meals.

The big men left the carriage, Sheila's father paid the bill for the waiters, Sheila's mother pulled Sheila to the study and immediately asked, "Why don't you want to be a viscount?"

Sheila felt exhausted at this time, even if she was just borrowing the wisdom of the officials of the Europa Provincial Office, she felt that she was exhausted. Letting her, a little girl, understand that the changes in the times are too heavy. In order to prepare for various responses to this topic, Sheila's energy has been completely exhausted. She really didn't have the energy to talk to her mother about this ridiculous topic, so she said perfunctorily: "If you are interested in this, go and convince your father."

After saying that, Sheila went straight back to her bedroom. She thought she would fall asleep exhausted, but she didn't expect that she was tired, but she had various thoughts in her mind. She had hopes, fears and anxiety, but Sheila suddenly regretted that she had taken the wrong medicine and dared to steal the speech of a person like Xie Song. This person has only been from the Song Dynasty thousands of miles away to Eastern Rome for more than ten years, but he has the power to surpass any nobles in Eastern Rome, and even Barcelona in Eastern Rome cannot guarantee that he can beat Xie Song and the power behind him.
