Yuna's home lives in Nafu City, and with the speed of the Wolf King, it took less than a few minutes to reach her home.

The house was a bit dilapidated and looked dilapidated from the outside, but Yuna didn't feel there was anything to be ashamed of. He jumped off the Wolf King's back and ran in happily.

"Mom, I'm back!"

Claire also rolled off his back and turned around to tell the Wolf King: "Stay here honestly and don't run around."

"Ouch." The Wolf King whimpered a few times, then lay down on the spot and yawned.

Then Claire followed Yuna into her home. As soon as he entered the door, his eyes felt dark. The room inside was very dark, and it was not like Magic Lamp in the Baronial Manor. He looked around and saw that there was only one window. There was not enough lighting. No wonder the house was dim, and candles and oil lamps were only turned on at night.

I followed Yuna and walked a few steps inside. When I entered the middle of the room, I felt a little light. The upper part was hollow, allowing enough light to shine in. It was also the kitchen and the place where sundries were placed.

"Yuna Why are you back!" came a delighted voice.

Claire's eyes immediately looked over. He had met Yuna's mother before when he treated her.

"The young master asked me to take him home and have a look." Yuna turned around, looked at Claire and said.

Claire also smiled and nodded at Yuna's mother as a greeting.

"Lord Viscount!" The joy in this voice was much more exciting than seeing her own daughter. The woman came over and said gratefully, "I heard Yuna said that Lord Viscount saved me when I was sick before. I never had the chance to thank you! I only asked Yuna to convey my gratitude for me."

Claire waved his hand, "It's just a small matter, um, Yuna has told me that she has always worked hard in the Baronial Manor."

Hearing Claire's compliment, Yuna lowered her head in embarrassment. Just now she was eating shredded squid in the kitchen and was caught by Claire.

"Thank you! Thank you!" Yuna's mother kept repeating these two words. She didn't know how to express her gratitude to Claire because her knowledge reserve was not rich enough.

"Mom, the young master has come here to ask you something." Yuna stepped forward and held his mother's hand.

"Is there anything you need, Lord Viscount? Just say it, I will do it for you if I can."

Claire Looking at Yuna's mother who was planning to die heroically, she couldn't laugh or cry, so she took out the squid shreds from her arms.

"You made these squid shreds, right?" Claire asked.

Yuna's mother glanced at Yuna and saw that Yuna's eyes were also confused, so she had no choice but to nod, "Well, what's wrong?"

"It's okay. Do many people know how to make shredded squid like this?"

"Yes, when taxes were high in the past, because squid was cheap, many people would buy it and make it into dried squid as food. Although it is not full, it is still better than having nothing to eat."

"Squid are very common in Nafu City, right?"

"It can be said that you can usually buy it in aquatic products stores."

"Then can you please make it on site and show it to me?" Claire said.

"That's no problem, but..."

"Are you having trouble?"

"No, it's just that we don't have any squid at home."

Claire was a little surprised, "Isn't your husband a fisherman? Why is there no squid in the house?"

"Generally, the salvaged goods are sold in the store. The squid live not long after landing, and they are usually dried and made into shredded squid at home. The ones in Yuna's hands are already the last stocks."

"That's no problem. I'll just go get a few and bring them back." Claire said with a smile. All the shops in Nafu City were bought by him from nobles.

Not long after riding the Wolf King out, Claire came back carrying a few squids. The reason why Yuna was not allowed to go was mainly because she was afraid that something would go wrong while riding the Wolf King, and it took too long to run away.

Yuna's mother also took over and started the preparation work. She took out the internal organs of the squid, boiled the water, put the shredded squid in, cooked the squid, scraped off the dirt on its surface, added some salt and seasonings and marinated it for a few minutes, then put it into a hot iron pot and started drying it. It took more than ten minutes for the squid to become shriveled.

Then the squid is torn open, cut into shredded squid, boiled in water again, then taken out to drain the water, and then sprinkled with some seasonings.

A portion of shredded squid was ready, placed on a plate and served in front of Claire.

"Lord Viscount, please try it."

Claire, who had been watching the manufacturing process for nearly an hour, reached out and took the prepared shredded squid, put it in his mouth and chewed it for a while. It was not as delicious as the one Yuna had just eaten, so he was about to ask what was going on.

Yuna's mother was the first to answer, "Because it's baked, it doesn't taste as chewy as the dried one."

Claire then nodded, and took out the shredded squid that Yuna had obtained before and tasted it. Although there was no obvious difference, you could still taste it if you tasted it carefully.

"Then if it's like what Yuna eats, how many days will it take to make it?" Claire asked.

"Three or four days, but we don't go out of our way to dry them. My husband will dry them when he can't finish the extra squid when he goes fishing."

After watching the manufacturing process, Claire also roughly understood the manufacturing and production of squid shreds. There are many parts of squid that can be used to make squid shreds, but the volume will shrink a lot after being made.

After getting the answer he wanted, Claire said, "Then I won't bother you, I'll go back first."

Yuna's mother quickly pushed Yuna out, "Hurry up and catch up, you have to go back to work!" She felt very honored that her daughter could find such a job.

"You can stay at home with mom for a while, it doesn't matter." Claire said.

Unexpectedly, Yuna shook his head like a rattle, "No! The young master hasn't eaten yet, so go back and cook for the young master first! Besides, I can go home every week, so there's no rush!"

Claire did not force it, and returned to the Baronial Manor with Yuna.

As soon as he returned to the house, Claire met Regan who had rushed back from outside.

"Regan come here!"

Regan ran over quickly, "What's wrong, young master?"

"Go and post an announcement. Baronial Manor has been buying shredded squid in large quantities for a long time, but what they want is dried squid, the best quality!"

"Master, why do you want this? We can't eat so much shredded squid in our house!" Regan thought it was Claire who wanted to eat it.

"It's not for eating, just do it, I will be useful."

"Yes!" Poor Regan was sent out again just as he wanted to come back for a bite to eat.

As for the price, the market will give you the most suitable price range, so Claire doesn't need to worry at all, and Claire doesn't intend to waste money.

The purpose of this is to provide some women living in the viscounty with a stable job - making shredded squid. As long as the products they make meet the standards, they will spend money to buy it. It is similar to those family workshops in the previous life. They are responsible for making shredded squid and then selling it themselves. It is equivalent to them being their own employees. Of course, the risks are borne by themselves.

However, Claire has a lot of confidence in this kind of snack, mainly because it tastes good. There is no such thing in the capital, so it can definitely be sold.
