The reason for choosing the basement is the environment. Although the storage of sand blood fruits is not so delicate, the quality still needs to be kept intact.
The closed space in the basement can reduce many unnecessary accidents.
The process is not troublesome, after all, Lu Xi can control the game panel and take it out with his thoughts.
The platform in front has been cleared. With a thought, a hundred sand-blood fruits were arranged neatly on it. The servants responsible for picking up and packing them came forward to pick them up and put them into the boxes prepared in advance next to them.
Finally, they are put into a contract package.
It was inevitable that some of them were not in good condition and were picked out along the way. Lu Xi and Xiuge each took a few and ate them as snacks.
Lihuat's originally nervous mood gradually calmed down after seeing the boxes of sand blood fruits. At least there would be no other problems with this transaction.
Seeing this, he also took a few sand blood fruits and started to eat them together.
"The quality is really good." Liwat didn't forget to praise a few words.
In the output of most farms, the quality is considered to be top-notch, and Lingnan Farm is still Lingnan Farm.
Lihuat chatted with Lu Xi about the topic, pointed at the storage box prop and asked, "Can't this thing be sold?"
One box can hold 10,000 sand blood fruits. This capacity is enviable no matter how you look at it. If you have this tool for loading things, it will be much easier to do business in the future.
"You won't be able to use it even if I sell it... Or do you want to join Lingbo Farm?" Lu Xi looked at Lihuat with a smile.
Liwat clicked his tongue and said, "It's not impossible. I don't know what kind of treatment Miss Lucy can give me."
"It should be the same as Xiugeng." Lu Xi seemed to be thinking deeply.
"So good?" Lihuat was a little surprised and looked at Xiuge, wondering what kind of treatment he was getting.
Lu Xi suppressed a smile and nodded, "Yes, food and accommodation are included. All other expenses are completely taken care of by yourself. For things other than being a knight, you can help with the work for free at no charge."
Lihuat was stunned for a moment and then laughed. He looked at his cousin, who was the most talented in the family and had become an intermediate elemental warrior at a young age, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Young, so young.
But for knights, this seems to be normal. After all, people with weak faith cannot become knights.
Lihuat brought a lot of people, but packing the boxes one by one was really a troublesome process. When dinner time came, Lu Xi handed over the task of opening the storage boxes to Xiuge and went back upstairs to cook.
Lihuat asked his confidant to stay and followed Lu Xi back upstairs. He was not too surprised to see Lu Xi cooking in person.
"Mrs. Charlotte also likes to cook by herself." Although he is not particularly familiar with Mrs. Charlotte, this does not prevent Liwat from using this topic to build a closer relationship.
After all, he was really a member of the Popstein family, and he had really met Mrs. Charlotte, and had the honor of dining with her.
However, at that time, Mrs. Charlotte no longer cooked in person, and Levatt only heard Mrs. Charlotte's maids chatting about it.
After seeing Lu Xi cooking, he naturally picked up this forgotten memory again.
Lu Xi is not too curious about Mrs. Charlotte. Even though many people say that she looks like Mrs. Charlotte, Lu Xi understands himself too well and will not care about this so-called similarity. What emotions arise.
But now that Lihuat had spoken, Lu Xi still followed the other person's words and continued the conversation.
From Xiuge's mouth, Lu Xi already knew that "his" father was Mrs. Charlotte's only child, and he was his father's only child.
The good news is that "his" parents are no longer here, so Lu Xi doesn't have to face possible family issues.
It is said that it happened in the early years, when "Lucy" was only a few years old. Due to an accident, her parents died at the same time. As a grandmother, Mrs. Charlotte returned to the Porberstein family and took away the ownership of Lingxin Farm.
If "Lucy"'s parents were still alive, Lingbo Farm should have been passed down to them first, and then to "Lucy". It wouldn't have been abandoned for so many years. It wasn't until Lady Charlotte passed away that she left a will to give it to "Lucy".
As for the grandfather... the bad news is that "Lucy's" grandfather is still alive, and it was his grandfather who raised "Lucy" all these years.
Fortunately, because the Rolette family has left the Trumini Kingdom, Lu Xi does not have to think about returning home in a short period of time, nor does he need to worry about meeting the grandfather who raised "him".
Although it is a bit unethical, Lu Xi sincerely hopes that when she goes back, it would be best when her grandfather is gone. In more than ten years, she should be able to wait...
I heard that my grandfather is eighty-two years old now. Come on!
The aroma of the food came out, shocking Lihuat who kept talking. After getting Lu Xi's permission, Lihuat tasted the food that had not yet been cooked. The deliciousness made him want to pick up the pot and eat it.
"Miss Lucy, it's such a shame that you can't become a chef." Levatt sighed.
“No wonder so many people miss Lady Charlotte’s cooking.”
No, Lu Xi retorted silently in her heart. Those people who missed Mrs. Charlotte's cooking were probably just missing that time that had passed.
Any food full of memories will become unique and delicious as time brews.
What they tasted was not the taste of the food, but the sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty taste of that youthful time, a taste that could not be replicated by anyone.
With outsiders present, Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo had no choice but to feel aggrieved, and dealt with them in the backyard with the two King Feather Horses.
I don't know what Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo discovered, but Lu Xi noticed that they seemed to like playing with King Feather recently. Maybe it was because White Feather Pegasus didn't like to interact with him too much.
It was midnight after dinner, and finally he had collected all the Shaxue fruits and paid for them. It was getting so late and it was inconvenient for Lihuat to leave, so he stayed here in Lu Xi to rest for the night.
There were two empty rooms on the second floor. Lihuat took a few confidants to rest briefly for the night. As for the hundreds of people he brought with him, Lu Xi went to borrow some courtyards from nearby stores.
Probably because "Miss Lucy" was so famous, she originally planned to lend the yard to this group of people to set up tents and rest for a night. Unexpectedly, several nearby families immediately tidied up and gave up the entire house. .
It was past ten o'clock the next morning, and Lu Xi saw Lihuat yawning and coming downstairs. He thought he was very tired from traveling continuously during this period, and it was rare for him to have a good sleep.
Lu Xi asked the two maids to bring up the breakfast they had been preparing. Lihuat didn't mind that it had been hot for too long, so he finished it quickly and told Lu Xi that he would leave in the afternoon.
"So urgent?" Lu Xi was surprised.
"The delay was too long before. I thought the name of the Porberstein family wouldn't cause so much trouble." Liwat smiled bitterly.
The other one was that Lu Xi was too far away from him, and it took a lot of time on the road. If the previous supplier was still there, it would only take three to five days at most, not a month.
If there were no other options in the short term, Lihuat would not have found Lu Xi.
Lu Xi didn't try to persuade him to stay, and watched as Lihuat arranged for everyone to leave after eating. It was only before he left that he realized something was wrong.
"These people?" Lu Xi looked at Lihuat. Dozens of people were standing there without packing their things, as if they were not ready to leave.
Lihuat smiled heartily and patted his forehead, "I was too sleepy yesterday and couldn't think clearly. I forgot to tell Miss Lucy. This is a meeting gift I prepared. Now it's the same as a parting gift."
"I heard that Lingxuan Farm is currently short of some manpower, and I happen to have quite a few people under my command. These people will be given to you, Miss Lucy."
After speaking, Lihuat looked at Lu Xi and blinked, "But these people have to be paid."
This corresponds to what Lu Xi said last night that Xiuge, a knight, "doesn't need money."
Lu Xi couldn't help but laugh too. This gift was so thoughtful. It's no wonder that Lihuat was able to start such a big business at such a young age. Knowing how to be a good person is a plus in itself.
What Lihuat said also means that these people who were selected and sent are not slaves. After all, slaves have no wages and do not need wages.
There was another person who was left behind to help with management, and could be regarded as the middleman who would maintain the relationship between Lu Xi and Lihuat. His name was Bertem. He was young, about thirty years old.
He is the son of a servant who grew up with Lihuat. Because of his good relationship with Lihuat since he was a child, he was specially allowed to learn writing. Now he has become a powerful butler.
According to Bertem, there were fifty-four people left behind. Not counting him, there were ten female elemental warriors who could serve as Lu Xi's personal bodyguards. After all, there were times when Knight Shuge was inconvenient.
The ten ordinary maids can take on the daily cleaning work. They have been servants of the Porberstein family for generations. Their identities are absolutely clean and they are not as mixed as servants bought from outside.
For example, the two maids, Yawei and Mary, who had been doing the cleaning work for several days, Lu Xi initially thought they were hired "temporary workers", but they turned out to be servants purchased directly by Marco.
Unlike slaves, this kind of servant status requires regular wages and occasional tips, which is equivalent to signing a lifelong cooperation system.
No wonder he is always so serious when he works.
Thirty male low-level elemental warriors... I can't help it. There is a huge gap in the ratio of male to female elemental warriors. They are usually used to undertake some guard patrol tasks, or serve as labor force.
Then there are two mid-level elemental warriors and two low-level elemental mages. Liwat really put a lot of thought into them.
Although the combat prowess of the two intermediate elemental warriors is at Marco's level, in the Tanersi Territory, it is impossible to find another intermediate elemental warrior as powerful as Shuge.
The only problem is that the two intermediate elemental warriors are a little older, otherwise they would not leave their master's house and would be willing to go somewhere else to do their work, especially in a remote place like Tan'ersi.
Although Lingxuan Farm was very famous before, now it is just an ordinary farm that has just started. It is not certain whether it can be established. No one who is a little bit ambitious is willing to work as a janitor on the farm.
Lu Xi has a very good attitude. People who come to her place only need to be able to do things, regardless of whether they plan to retire or not.
The number of people here had just been counted when the carriage door suddenly opened on the other side and an intermediate elemental mage came out!
Intermediate elemental mages are not as bad as intermediate elemental warriors. The worst intermediate elemental mage can live a life several times better than Marco.
There is no way, who makes the elemental mage the son of the version in the low level.
However, the intermediate elemental mage looked around - she seemed to have slept in the carriage for several days and did not wake up at all yesterday, so she did not appear in front of Lu Xi.
The noise of Lihuat's departure was too loud and woke her up. Then she got off the carriage and walked towards Lu Xi yawning.
"Don't get me wrong, I wasn't invited here by that boy Lihuat." At the beginning, the woman who looked to be about forty years old but already had gray hair spoke directly.
"Your name is Lucy, Lucy Rolette, right?" The woman's tone was not polite, and her personality was like a powder keg, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction and anger towards the entire world.
"My name is Rodia, and I am one of Mrs. Charlotte's followers. Lord Denoy asked me to come here this time. I just wanted to take a ride on Boy Leverart's car along the way."
"Grandma Rodya?" Xiuge, who came back after seeing off Lihuat, said in surprise.
Seeing Lu Xi's puzzled look, Xiuge explained that Rodia was a very talented and talented elemental mage when she was young. However, she was injured in an accident and could not go any further in her life. She was stuck at the level of an intermediate elemental mage.
But even so, Rodia can be said to be a very powerful elemental mage. Her research on elemental magic even exceeds that of most advanced elemental mage. In recent years, she has cultivated many powerful elements for the Porberstein family. The elemental mage came out and was very respected in the Porberstein family.
When Rodia met with an accident, it was Mrs. Charlotte who accidentally saved Rodia's life. Therefore, Rodia has always been loyal to Mrs. Charlotte.
"Granny Rodya was cursed by a contract due to an accident when she was young. She developed extremely powerful symptoms of drowsiness. She was always drowsy and could not wake up completely. Therefore, she was very angry when she got up. No one seemed to have a good attitude."
"Miss Lucy, don't take it too seriously. Granny Rodya didn't mean to do this to you."
Shuge explained quietly.
Although he was not angry at first, after understanding the cause and effect, Lu Xi could understand Grandma Rodya's attitude better. Anyone who has been sleeping for decades still feels drowsy, and there is no way to get positive feedback from sleep, I am afraid there is nothing good about it. Mental state.
Following Rodia is a young girl who is responsible for taking care of Rodia's daily life. She is the kind who never leaves her. Her name is Karan. She looks about seventeen or eighteen years old. She is very young. She is a low-level elemental mage. .
However, what surprised Lu Xi was that this Karan girl turned out to be a mute who could not speak. No wonder she never got out of the car and told Lu Xi these things.
On Lihuat's side, it was because, without Lihuat's order, his subordinates would not dare to take the initiative to provoke him.
It seemed that Lihuat was indeed too sleepy and tired, so he forgot to mention this matter.
"Elemental mage...can you use elemental magic without reciting incantations?" He asked Granny Rodia to enter the house with kind words. Lu Xi fell a few steps behind and asked Xiuge secretly in a low voice.
She carefully looked at the combination of the angry old woman and the mute elemental mage for a long time. After thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't figure out that all the elemental mage she saw had to recite spells!
Xiuge unconsciously shifted his gaze and said, "Well, it's probably not necessary."
"Isn't it enough to make the elements understand what they mean? To put it bluntly, elemental magic is just a process of letting the elements learn how to listen to people's words."
Before she had gone far, Granny Rodya, who heard Lu Xi's words, turned around and sneered, her words full of pride.
The grumpy and angry old lady appears!
Lu Xi is in danger!
Lu Xi took out premium white bread!
The old woman becomes immune to negative status for one hour!
The crisis is over!
