Chapter 93: Pork ribs stewed with yam

After being scolded by Sophia, Ethan was extremely embarrassed. After apologizing repeatedly, he hastily ended the call.

Afterwards, he remembered that he forgot to tell Sophia about the contact method of the two people he had persuaded to defect.

"It's really a mouthful of trouble. I shouldn't be so quick to speak." Ethan muttered to himself with some self-blame.

This duke is indeed not kind enough. He wants to kick it away after using it. Where in the world is there such a cheap thing?

But, then again, it seems that the duke can't be blamed for this matter. After all, he just doesn't want to put all his eggs in one basket, and he has to face all the people of the Northland. It's understandable to make such a choice!

Since everyone is right, but there is a conflict of interest, they can only take sides.

Thinking of this, Ethan immediately knew what to do.

After all, he is now the son-in-law of the Lawson family. There is no reason for him to turn his arm outward.

Moreover, he can't do anything in the Northland.

Whether it is the coffee business, the defection of personnel, or the logistics supply...

Everything needs Sophia's help.

It can be said that Sophia holds the lifeline of his economy and survival.

Ethan wants to seek development, and he must rely on Sophia for everything.

This makes Ethan very distressed.

But what can he do if he is distressed? He originally had nothing, and now he has some hope by relying on Sophia.

If everything goes well, maybe it won’t take long before he will have his own start-up funds and his own people.

Thinking of this, Ethan smiled knowingly.

However, he immediately realized that if he could think of this, could Sophia not think of this?

Just look at the way he dealt with the Duke, and you will know how strong her control desire is.

Would she be willing to see herself develop?

"I guess not!" Ethan pinched his chin and smiled bitterly to himself: "So, what should I do?"

In the following days, Ethan thought about this problem every day, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of a solution.

Gradually, he accepted his fate.

Since he couldn't do anything, Ethan could only focus on the territory.

Whenever he had something to do, he would take two wilderness experts to look around, hoping to see if there were any gold or silver mines, or even magic stone mines.

But obviously, Ethan was not so lucky.

Let alone gold or magic stone mines, there was not even limestone for making cement around.

This made Ethan very desperate.

However, he was used to it. He had never had good luck since he was born into this world.

Every time there were a lot of difficulties, and he had to work hard every time to get a little bit of harvest.

Now, after patrolling the territory every day, he would cut some dead trees and take them back as firewood. Most of the rest of the time, he was fishing.

Moreover, since the fishing novice benefit was over, he could not catch any fish for a long time.

In the end, he spent two skill points hopelessly and added them to the [Fishing] skill.

Now it's good, the fish in the sea area within a few miles are rushing towards him.

Through the shallow ice layer, you can see them surging in the water.

Every time Ethan casts the hook, he will definitely get something.

Moreover, if he didn't pull up some seafood within three seconds after he hooked the hook, he would be embarrassed to say hello to Tibers and his friends.

This shocked Tibers and his friends so much that their jaws almost dropped.

So, an interesting scene came. As long as the weather was good, everyone in the territory would have a small stool and a fishing rod in their hands.

Like the birds on the telephone poles, they sat in a row and fished by the sea.

King crabs, squids, and all kinds of seafood were pulled up at will.

But it was other people who could pull up the delicious ones.

Ethan continued his unlucky luck. There were so many kinds of edible fish, and everyone was not far away.

But what he pulled up was the most rubbish shark, and even the piranha that was unique here.

Not only were these two kinds of fish inedible, but they often bit his fishing rod, which made Ethan really want to cry.

This was not the worst.

The worst time was when an adult shark, more than ten meters long, jumped out of the sea regardless.

The target was Ethan's head.

At that time, the opponent's sharp teeth were only half a meter away from Ethan's head, and Ethan could smell the stench in its mouth.

Fortunately, he had a sword with him, and fortunately, he reacted quickly. With a block and a counter-slash, he cut the shark in two.

Because it was a stress reaction, the counter-attack was very powerful, and the ice surface was broken by his counter-slash for dozens of meters.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden attack.

Then, because sharks would jump out, everyone fished as far away from the sea as possible, for fear that they would attract a big killer like Ethan.

After this incident, Ethan lost interest in fishing and started hunting instead. After all, in this deserted ghost place, he had to find some fun for himself instead of staying on the boat every day to make children!

One day, while hunting in the forest.

His eyes were suddenly attracted by a bunch of dry vines.

When he got closer, he saw a bunch of windmills on the vines, which looked like clover.

Ethan used to go to the mountains with his friends in his hometown to collect yam, so he recognized this vine.

"Is this... wild yam?"

Yam is a good thing! It can be used as a staple food and has medicinal value.

Ethan was overjoyed, so he drew out the Sword of Oath and used it as a shovel.

After more than an hour of hard work, digging eight or nine feet into the ground, he finally dug out a complete yam weighing more than 30 kilograms.

When he was carrying the yam and wanted to go back, Xiao Huangmao found another nest of wild boars.

There were more than a dozen of them, big and small, and they were taking hay to build a nest.

Since they were not far away, Ethan also took a little wild boar back with him.

During this period, an adult wild boar saw Ethan kill its child, and his eyes suddenly turned red, and he charged at Ethan without hesitation.

Ethan didn't want to hunt excessively, but he really couldn't bear it when a wild boar dared to go crazy at him.

Draw the sword and swing the sword.

Cut it in two with one sword!

Call it a day!

As night fell, Ethan carried two wild boars home.

The smoke from the cooking rose from the chimney of the pirate ship. Tonight, Ethan cooked by himself.

At dinner time, the restaurant was filled with tempting aromas.

Andreev and others smelled the aroma and rushed over.

"Lord Ethan, this is..." Andreev looked at the delicious food on the table, his eyes flashing with surprise.

"Yam stewed with pork ribs, an unexpected harvest in the forest." Ethan smiled and enthusiastically invited several people to taste it together.

Andreev and others chewed the pork ribs and the smooth yams, raised their eyebrows slightly, and all showed an expression of enjoyment.

"This tastes great, Lord Ethan!" Tibers couldn't help but admire.

Ethan smiled: "It's good that you like it, but it's a pity that there are not many wild yams of this kind. We can only eat it with better luck."

"Why don't we consider planting some yams near the territory and raising some wild boars?" Andreev suggested.

"Uh..." Ethan was stunned for a while: "That makes sense!"
