After Sleeping Islandwitchmoved the second day, Rolandcalls the officeCity HallPrime MinisterBarov.沉睡岛女巫搬迁后的第二天,罗兰将市政厅总管巴罗夫叫到了办公室。„Ineedyouto issue that recruits the announcement,” the content that hewill draftadvancesin front of the opposite party, „casual laborer of oneweek of time, about tenpeople, bestare the females.”
“我需要你发布一条招募公告,”他将草拟的内容推到对方面前,“一周时间的短工,十人左右,最好是女性。”Barovtook up the paperto lookearnestly, „your highness, starch...... Iswhat?”巴罗夫拿起纸张认真看了一遍,“殿下,请问淀粉……是什么?”„Wheat flour do youknow?”
“小麦粉你知道吧?”Prime Ministerhesitant, „are yourefer to the cribbleor the finemeal? After the grain of wheatgrinds, canbake the bread, orironswheatBing, butyoueatis further finemeal of screening outbran, the bread that latter'soutputquantityonly thenformer's60%, bakeis softer, but the priceis very high, only thenbignoblecanenjoy to use.”总管迟疑了下,“您是指粗粉还是精粉?麦粒磨碎后就能烘烤成面包,或烙成麦饼,而您吃的都是进一步筛去麸皮的精粉,后者的产出量只有前者的六成,烤出来的面包更加松软,但价格十分高昂,只有大贵族才能享用得起。”ThisoriginalMinister of Financeassistantmade a Rolandmost satisfiedpoint is has the fullunderstandingto various floorcommodities. Because the agricultureis backward, the grainis deficient, eats the lawcompletelyto be also differentineachsocial stratumwith the samething. For example the most commonwheat, the eatinglaw of common peopleboils the gruel the grain of wheat of exhaustedshelldirectly, thiscancompletelymaximum limitusingfood, butsomeresidualwheatshellsandsand and crushed stonealsotogether withboilinginpot, eatska-beng ka-bengto press the toothfrequently.
这位原财务大臣助理令罗兰最满意的一点便是对各类底层商品都有充分的了解。由于农业落后,粮食匮乏,同一样东西在各个阶层吃法也完全不同。例如最常见的小麦,平民的吃法是将剥壳的麦粒直接煮粥,这样可以尽最大限度利用食物,不过一些残留的麦壳和砂石也会连同煮进锅里,吃起来经常嘎嘣嘎嘣硌牙。Smallnoble is more tasteful, theycanassign the person the grain of wheatscreening outsand and crushed stone, grinds to the cribble, after baking the bread and wheat pancake, enjoys.
小贵族则要讲究一些,他们会命人将麦粒筛去砂石,磨成粗粉,烘烤成面包和烙饼后享用。Againupwardis the family propertyrichbignoblesocial stratum, foodto the tool that thesepeopleno longerpurelyfills the belly, butpursues the method that the delicacyenjoys. The kitchen will further sieve the wheat flour, removes the bran, obtains the snow whitefinepulverizing, the bread that bakesis the cream color, eats, not only the tasteis exquisite, the flavor is also much more delightful.
再往上就是家底丰厚的大贵族阶层,食物对这些人来说已不再是单纯填饱肚子的工具,而是追求美味享受的手段。厨房会将麦粉进一步过筛,去除麸皮,得到雪白的精致磨粉,烤出来的面包呈米黄色,吃起来不仅口感细腻,味道也甜美得多。„Starchbased onfinewheat flour , to continue to depute the processing,”Rolandlets go saying that „afteryouincurto the manpower, Iwill send for the concreteproceduretellingthem.”
“淀粉就是在精致小麦粉的基础上,继续提纯加工而成,”罗兰摊手道,“当你招到人手后,我会派人将具体的做法告诉她们的。”„Following , to continue to process?”Barovcannot help butstaredin a big way the eye, „thatmustuse upmanywheat.”
“继、继续加工?”巴罗夫不由得瞪大了眼睛,“那得用掉多少小麦啊。”„Ido not needtoomany, 300-400kilograms......”Rolandpaused, changed a statement, „looked likemytableto be so big a wicker basketthen.”
“我也不需要太多,三四百公斤……”罗兰顿了顿,改口道,“像我桌子这么大一箩筐即可。”Henoddedto comply , asked that „why did yourequestas far as possible is a female?”
他点头应了下来,又问道,“为何您要求尽可能是女性?”„Becausetheyworkare more careful. Moreover, Ihope that sawmorewomentake the job, butis not the idleinhome,”whatRolandhas thought ofsuddenly, „is the popularization education that at presentBorder Townpromotes the women'sclassprogress seems to be quicker?”
“因为她们做事更细心。而且,我希望看到更多的妇女走上工作岗位,而不是闲置在家中,”罗兰忽然想到了什么,“目前边陲镇推行的普及教育似乎是女子班进度更快吧?”„Although the Ministry of Educationkey personnel in chargeisMs.Scroll, butsituationindeedisthis. Theyexcept fortaking care of the childanddohousework, cando the matternot to be many, therefore the majority oftimewere usedto studyto be literate.”
“虽然教育部的主要负责人是书卷女士,但情况的确是这样。她们除了照顾小孩和打理家务,能干得事并不多,所以大部分时间都用来读书识字了。”„Such being the case, Irequestafter the next roundinspectionhad ended, yourresponsibleCity Hallmustsolicita group offemaleapprentices, andgraduallyexpands the proportion of femalepost,” the Rolandinstructionsaid.
“既然如此,我要求当下一轮考核结束后,你负责的市政厅必须招录一批女学徒,并逐步扩大女性岗位的比例,”罗兰吩咐道。„Your highness, this...... Without the precedent,”Barovknits the brows saying that „, ifonlydiscussedcarefully, myapprenticedid not compareanyfemaleto be bad.”
“殿下,这……没有先例,”巴罗夫皱眉道,“若只论心细的话,我的学徒不比任何一名女子差。”„Without the words of precedenton a creationprecedent,”Rolandspoke frankly, „this was also simplest, mostquicklyindid not expand the total populationundersituationto grow the labor force the method, ifallfemalescanundertaketo construct the small townduty, myavailablemanpowercanriseonetime. Youmustdo, is guides the peopleto changeidea--to want the salaryto be attractive, Ithink that theycanstand.”
“没有先例的话就创造一个先例,”罗兰直言道,“这也是最简单、最快捷在不扩大总人口的情况下增长劳动力的方法了,如果所有女性都能承担起建设小镇的任务,我的可用人手就能翻上一倍。你所要做的,便是引导人们改变观念——只要薪酬诱人,我想她们会一个个站出来的。”
After Barovasks to be excused, Nightingalesaid with a smilein the princeear, „whatdeliciousthing did youplanto make?”巴罗夫告退后,夜莺在王子耳边笑道,“您又打算做什么好吃的东西了?”„Starch? No, itis not usedto eat,”Rolanddrank tea, „, although can indeed obtain the equallygoodfoodin the processing process.”
“淀粉?不,它不是用来吃的,”罗兰喝了口茶,“虽然在加工过程中的确可以得到一样不错的食材。”Soaks into the finewheat flour the water, thenrubsto pinchto scrub, becomes whiteuntil the watercompletely, changesbasinwaterto continueagain.

将精致小麦粉泡入水中,然后揉捏搓洗,直到水完全变白,再换一盆水继续。最后剩下来的一团黏糊物质就是面筋,可以用来油炸或爆炒,口感柔韧,富有弹性。出锅后涂抹蜂蜜或拌洒香料都是一道上佳美味。Howeverkey point of Rolandnotonfood.
不过罗兰的重点不在食物上。
After thesecreamwatersievingsettlements, precipitates is the starch, ismanufactures the blasting explosive the primary materials.
将那些乳白色的水过筛静置后,沉淀下来的便是淀粉,也是制作炸药的主要材料。Has not startedto tryto matchinNitroglycerin, undercondition that T.N.T.is unable to mention, the nitrostarchhas become the high explosive that is easyto make, the process of manufactureis completely same as Nitrocellulose.

在硝化*甘油还未开始试配,T.N.T.更是无从说起的条件下,硝化淀粉就成了最容易制造的烈性炸药,制造过程和硝化棉完全一样。其成品敏感度低,明火无法点燃,需要用雷*管引爆,威力比T.N.T.更高,在两次世界大战期间曾广泛作为前者的替代品使用。Had the high-puritystarch, thesetouch the alchemyapprentices the Nitrocelluloseproducuction processskillfully, thinks that can also producea number ofnitrostarchesfast.
有了高纯度的淀粉,那些将硝化棉制作过程摸得滚瓜烂熟的炼金学徒们,想必也能快速制取一批硝化淀粉来。Afterlunch, Rolandwas planning that returns to the roomto take an afternoon nap, outside the officehas resounded the knocksuddenly.
午餐过后,罗兰正打算回房睡个午觉,办公室外忽然响起了敲门声。Usuallyat this timelookedhis, most likelyisAnna. Hisheartbang bangjumpedtwo , because previoustimeextremelyhas fallen asleepexhaustedlydirectly, thereforethisdecisiondoes selectatnoon?
通常这个时候来找他的,十有八九是安娜。他的心砰砰跳了两下,难道是因为上次太过疲惫直接睡着了,所以这次决定挑在中午?„come in.”
“进来吧。”
The gatewas shoved open, Rolandstartled, outsideis standingunexpectedlyisEvelyn.
门吱呀一声被推开,罗兰怔了怔,外面站着的竟然是伊芙琳。
...... Thisthinksnotquiteto be a little same as oneself, hecoughstwo, shows the genialsmiling face, „whatmatterhas?”
呃……这和自己想得有点不太一样,他咳嗽两声,露出和善的笑容,“有什么事吗?”Shearrives at the tableto lower the headto salute, looks likesomewhatanxious, „your highness, Iwantsto ask your question.”
她走到桌边低头行礼,看起来有些紧张,“殿下,我想问您一个问题。”Is the platitudes " are yousowhy goodtowitch " ? Howeverin line withtreating the comrademustlike the spring breezewarmspirit, hesaid with a smile, „anyissue, youasked.”
难道又是老生常谈的「您为什么对女巫这么好」?不过本着对待同志要如春风般温暖的精神,他微笑道,“什么问题,你问吧。”„You...... Whycanchoosemeto comeBorder Town?”
“您……为什么要挑选我来边陲镇?”Rolandstaresslightly, is sheis disliking the liquornot to be tasty?罗兰微微一愣,难道她是在嫌酒不好喝吗?„Myability is not only inferior toSilviesuchaspect, is not like that practicallikeLotusandHoney,”shesaidin a low voice,„is only the words of wine-tasting, every month a gold royalsalaryinvitedspecializedWine Brewer MasterfromKingdom Capitalsufficiently.”
“我的能力既不如希尔维那样方面,又不像莲和蜜糖那般实用,”她低声道,“只是品酒的话,每月一金龙的薪酬足以从王都聘请到专业的酿酒师了。”„Youthinktheseliquor...... What kind of?”
“你觉得那些酒……怎么样?”„Wordsfrom the beginningthinkextremelyhot, butdrinksalso to acceptslowly, blended the mixliquor of ice piece, fruit juiceandsyrupas forthese, is richer the taste. Howeverthisis onlymyview,”Evelynanswersaidcautiously,„family'stavernalsoonlysells the inexpensivewine and wateringale, the tendency of noble...... Iam not clear.”
“一开始的话觉得太过火辣,不过慢慢喝下来也能接受,至于那些参杂了冰块、果汁和糖水的混合酒,在口味上来说更丰富。不过这只是我个人的看法,”伊芙琳小心翼翼地回答道,“家里的酒馆也只卖廉价葡萄酒和掺水麦酒,贵族们的倾向……我并不清楚。”Originallydoes not have the issuein the suspicionliquor, the princerelaxedquietly. Hesets outto open the book shelf, takes outonecan of alesto putfromuppermost layerin front ofEvelyn, „can thatyoutransform the white liquor that Ibrewthiscan of ales?”
原来不是在怀疑酒有问题,王子悄悄松了口气。他起身打开书柜,从最上层取出一罐麦酒摆在伊芙琳面前,“那你能将这罐麦酒转化成我酿造的白酒吗?”„Ithink...... Shouldnot have the issue.”Shestretches outboth hands, holdsjar, quickinsidepale yellowliquorwaterhad the change.

“我想……应该没问题。”她伸出双手,捧住罐子,很快里面昏黄的酒水发生了变化。随着气泡涌起,麦酒变得越来越澄清,最后竟如白开水一般透亮,但罗兰已经闻到了浓郁的酒香。他迫不及待地用手指蘸了一点,放进嘴里,苦涩和灼热同时传来,这正是高度酒精的味道。Rolandcannot bearsmileto make noise, „thisis the reason that Ichooseyouto come.”罗兰忍不住笑出声来,“这就是我挑选你来的原因。”Is looking atmystifiedEvelyn, heclaps saying that „Iplanto open an alcohol plant...... No, is the brewery, are youwillingto makemychiefWine Brewer Master?”
望着一脸迷惑的伊芙琳,他拍拍手道,“我打算开设一座酒精厂……不,是酿酒厂,你愿意来做我的首席酿酒师吗?”
