Chapter 103: can

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Irene came to the lord's castle.

Because she had been studying semaphore for the army before, in order to discuss with the officers, she had been staying in the compound of the staff headquarters, or running to the barracks.

After the semaphore took shape, Paul ordered her to move her office to the castle.

A servant led her to her "office", which was a small room. After entering, she found that there was only a desk, a few chairs, and a bookshelf with a kitchen.

Irene sighed and thought, "He really is a boss who doesn't understand the sentiments of life at all!"

She didn't complain that Paul was too stingy, because she had seen Paul's own office, and it was extremely monotonous, not any better than here.

"Forget it, let me dress up slowly in the future."

She looked left and right in the room, thinking carefully about the plan to decorate the room.

At this time, there was the sound of opening and closing the door next door.

She suddenly remembered that she had just heard from a servant that there was another consultant in the Lord's Mansion who was working next door to her.

As a colleague, you should take the initiative to build a good relationship. After all, she is no longer the dazzling princess that everyone is vying for.

Irene came out and gently knocked on the door of the next room, and there was a "please come in" from inside, the voice was very pleasant.

"It should be a lovely girl from the sound. That earl is not a pervert."

With such thoughts in mind, Irene opened the door and froze for a while.

Standing in front of her was Miss Ladi, a scholar and adventurer who rescued her benefactor from the tiger's mouth a few months ago.

Obviously, judging from the expression on Miss Scholar's face, she was also very surprised.

Irene quickly came to her senses, and said calmly and generously, "Oh, I really didn't expect it. It turns out that Miss Ladi is the new consultant recruited by the Lord's Mansion. How are you!"

Ladi also responded with a smile: "Hello, Ms. Dias. I heard Mrs. Graham mention you, but I haven't visited you for several days. I'm sorry."

Irene shook her hand and said, "You couldn't find me a few days ago. I've been staying in the army's staff headquarters, and no one is allowed to come in or out there."

"Don't talk to me so politely in the future. You saved me first, and now you have become my colleague. Perhaps this is God's secret arrangement."

Ladi smiled and nodded, the little worry in her heart disappeared without a trace.

When he rescued Miss Dias from the mouth of the black-spotted tiger that day, although the other party thanked her, but for some reason, I always felt that the other party was an arrogant person, and now it seems that it is not difficult to get along with.

"So, you gave up your career as an adventurer?"

"Yes, I've been traveling around for the past few years, so it's time for me to take a good rest."

"Haha, you must have accumulated a lot of knowledge in your adventure career, right? I can ask you a lot."

"We are both scholars. Please give me more advice in the future."

The two chatted happily, because they were both women and scholars, they chatted very well.

About half an hour later, a servant knocked on the door and came in. He said respectfully, "My lord, please meet the two advisors in the restaurant."

Irene asked suspiciously: "Why is it a restaurant? Earl Greyman wants to treat us to dinner, but it's still early for lunch."

The servant said: "I don't know either, the Earl just asked me to invite you."

Irene pouted: "Really, Ladi and I are chatting happily."

The servant broke into a cold sweat. He had never seen anyone who complained about Earl Greiman in public, but he pretended not to hear it.

Ladi tugged at her sleeve and said, "Betty, let's go over quickly, it's not good to keep Mrs. Graham waiting for a long time."

In just half an hour, they were so intimate that they called each other by their first names.

…

When Irene and Ladi came to the restaurant, they found that there were already quite a few people here.

In addition to Earl Greiman, there are old Ford, the head of the government affairs council, several executives including Hansel, Schroeder, Bryce and other high-level military officials.

"Oh, the two beauties are here, welcome."

Earl Greyman seemed very happy and greeted them warmly.

Irene wanted to complain a little in her heart: "Really, it's almost a war, and I can still maintain such a good mood."

After the two female advisors were seated, Paul said to everyone, "I have called you here today to invite you to taste a special kind of food."

He turned his head and ordered to the servant: "Put the things up."

Soon, strange glass bottles were placed in front of everyone one by one.

Irene carefully looked at the strange bottle in front of her. It was a jar made of thick glass with a cork tightly plugged and a layer of wax sealed on the outside.

The most intriguing thing, though, is the contents of the bottle, which appear to be chopped apples.

She looked at the bottle in front of Ladi next to her, which seemed to contain pears.

Look around, other people's bottles are filled with different, some vegetables, some meat. Most people looked at the glass bottle in front of them with puzzled eyes.

Except for a few people in the Government Council, they had heard Paul talk about this thing a long time ago, and Director Ford and Hansel even personally handled the establishment of this thing's manufacturing plant.

Paul happily announced: "Everyone, this is 'canning', a food processing method that can preserve food for a long time. Now open them and taste the food inside."

"Come on, follow me."

Paul first scraped off the wax seal with a knife, then picked up the "corkscrew" next to the glass bottle—a spiral metal hook, and screwed it into the cork~www.readwn.com~ and then pushed it hard, the bottle The plug was pulled out.

He picked up the fork, forked out a piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly.

"Hmm! It tastes good. Eat it with confidence, the food inside is all cooked."

Everyone opened the jars one after another in the manner of Lord Earl, and picked up forks to taste the food inside.

"The taste is okay!"

"The soup inside is also delicious."

"Although it is not as good as the current one, if it can be preserved for a long time, it is really an excellent invention."

Everyone chatted while eating, especially those in the military. Schroeder and Bryce began to discuss in low voices the importance of canned food to the army's supplies.

Irene ate a piece of apple, "Hmm... the taste of this apple is a bit weird, but it's not bad. How about yours, Ladi?"

Ladi nodded and said, "The pear flesh in mine is very sweet, and the taste is not bad."

Paul looked at the two female consultants and asked, "Both of you are from prosperous places. I don't know if this kind of thing can sell well at your place?"

Ladi said: "If it can be preserved for a long time as you said, it will definitely be sold, especially those who often travel long distances. They will definitely be welcomed by them."

As a former adventurer, she certainly knows what the invention of cans means to travelers.

Irene also nodded repeatedly. Although she had no shortage of food and drink since she was a child, she also had a deep experience running all the way to the northwest. Delicious food such as meat and vegetables deteriorate quickly. I can only gnaw on the dry, hard black bread.

"Haha! Great, we're already mass producing canned food, and we'll be selling it south soon."

Paul happily announced to the crowd.
