As winter gave way to spring, the earth once again burst into vibrant life. The scars left by the war had already faded from the counties of Layton and Wharton.
The joy of the harvest was the most heartwarming. The spring grains were stored away, and the days of hunger had ended. The Mountain Domain was also immersed in joy.
Master Hudson, in a buoyant mood, even invited the domain people to taste white bread once, elevating his status as a benevolent lord to new heights.
Even the diminished slaves finally enjoyed a lunch without eating dirt on this day.
It was all thanks to the Northland Nobles' bad examples. Originally, Master Hudson never added dirt to his bread.
Ever since he heard the rumors about orcs eating dirt, the low-quality bread given to them contained an extra 10% of salted soil.
The results were excellent, and the cost of salt alone in the domain decreased by a third. The expenditure on food also reduced considerably.
