The Sage of Einar

When Einar opened his eyes, he could feel Kassia\'s hair on his face, so he smiled and, using his hand, he pulled off his wife\'s beautiful brown hair.

As he did so, he could see the beautiful face of the woman he loved.

"Good morning Kassia. How did you sleep today? Did you have that dream again? *

Kassia opened her beautiful gray eyes and looked at her husband with a smile. "I slept perfectly, but I dreamed again that we were married.

Only this time, little Erika gave me to your hand. It\'s strange because what our daughter Erika wants to tell us. "

Einar frowned because sometimes he heard about it with friends. According to what they say, when one dreams that someone dies is why that person is going to live a long time.

But when someone dreams that they are getting married, someone will die. This put Einar in a dilemma because next to the calendar that his daughter had shown him, he did not know what he wanted to say to him.

\'This is a real crossroads. What is Erika trying to tell me that one of her brothers is going to die or that Kassia is going to die?

 

In theory, there is nothing that endangers Kassia\'s life, except for her age and childbirth.

 

A saying was well said that if one listens to the river it is because of what water it is carrying, I will try to increase the practice of cesarean section with Felipa.

 

In order to guarantee that in the event of a complicated delivery, a cesarean section can be used so as not to endanger the mother\'s life.

 

I will also have to prepare blood donors, for this I will have to draw blood from Kassia and use slaves to inject blood into them.

 

If they present adverse reactions, the blood transfer should be stopped, but if they do not show symptoms, another test should be carried out.

 

Well, if Kassia has a positive blood type O, she would be compatible with all kinds of blood. It was all a matter of statistics.

 

Maybe some people would die, but it was something that I was willing to do. Unfortunately, I did not have an advanced microscope to be able to analyze if the red blood cells were attacked by lymphocytes.

 

That would be the fastest way to test the blood, although there should also be chemical reactions and other substances that will react with the blood.

 

Once I have the slaves ready, I will check them to see if they do not have any diseases or something that could cost Kassia or the baby his life.

 

But not only that, but it will also improve the security of the palace to avoid accidents. I was aware that I could not fight against death.

 

But at least I would do everything possible to reduce the chances that my family would die from accidents. It is not the same to go downstairs than to do it on stairs with safety measures.\'

Kassia, who was looking like Einar thought, looked at him with affection because she knew that when he got that way, it was because he was thinking of doing something to improve their lives.

So she did not interrupt. She simply looked at him with love. When Einar noticed his wife\'s look, he only smiled.

"I think I was lost in my thoughts again, but I was thinking that I will need to take some of your blood so I can perform an experiment to find your blood type.

Not much. Maybe a liter of blood will be enough to be able to do the experiment, but first I need to get the test subjects.

You will not have to worry. I will give you a high iron diet so that the blood recovers, but I will find the right people so that they can transfer blood to you.

Although it pains me to say it, it may be that seeing you as a bride is a sign that you will die or that someone close to us will die.

That worries me because death is something I really fear, not because it could come, but because it could kill any of you.

But I do not want to suggest things that I do not understand. I think it is better to continue with our lives.

That reminds me today we have to check the greenhouse to see the potatoes and peanuts that are harvested today, prepare a delicious meal with them.

I\'m sure you would like to eat something that tastes delicious. Potatoes and peanuts will improve our standard of living. "

After this, Einar got up with the rest of his wives, and they prepared to go to the greenhouse.

When everyone reached the greenhouse, the guards opened the doors and then they could see the strange potato and peanut plants that were in the place.

Einar first approached the peanut plant. "The peanut is quite delicious, and it is a seed that has many functions. Perhaps the most important is that it can provide oil and an enormous amount of nutrients.

At the moment, we will only be able to enjoy the harvest a little, as we need everything else to start planting it in our other greenhouses. "

Einar then bent down and picked up a beautiful potato flower.

"Potatoes are tubers, but they can also be sown by seed. If they are planted as tubers, they will grow very fast, but there is a big problem.

The plants will be susceptible to diseases, so a single diseased potato plant could destroy all our production.

That is why we will plant it using seeds and no tubers because in this way we will guarantee that these plants can produce enough food and are resistant to diseases.

Also, as they are being planted in closed environments such as greenhouses, there is no danger that we will run out of potatoes in the future.

But as I always say, the best thing about this show is always trying the things we do. Sit down at the table today. We will eat peanuts and potatoes with breaded fish. "

It was at that moment that the entire family sat at the table that had been prepared in the place. Sven and Peder were extremely excited.

Well, being able to eat new food was always a luxury. At that moment, a group of servants entered the greenhouse carrying dishes with white seeds with a very pleasant aroma.

Einar, Aila, Sven, Peder, and Juni were given a glass of herbal liqueur.

While everyone else was only given some citrus water, Einar, looking at everyone\'s faces, cleared his throat.

"These are roasted peanuts with a little salt. It is a way to prepare them because they can be used to make many meals, but at the moment it is the best way to eat them.

Just take a little with your hands and bite them. The flavor, I\'m sure you will love the taste. You can use your water with orange or your liquor to be able to rinse your mouth "

After those words, everyone began to enjoy the delicious taste of peanuts, especially Helmi, Kassia, and Laisa, who enjoyed them more because, as they were pregnant, their cravings were even bigger than those of the others in the greenhouse.

"These peanuts are delicious. It\'s a shame I haven\'t been able to taste them before, but they are perfect for drinking with alcohol. I would dare to say that they are a complement that was born to be with alcohol.

If only this had existed earlier, I think all those nights of drinking with friends would have been better. "

Sven, who had said those words, enjoyed the taste of peanuts, especially the sensation they left after drinking a little herbal liquor. For their part, the children did not even speak because they could not do so.

Because the taste of peanuts was extremely addictive to them, especially the salty taste they had, even little Norma ate her peanuts with immense happiness.

Einar, for his part, just closed his eyes and remembered part of his childhood in the town where he had grown up in Mexico when his father harvested peanuts were the best thing in the world because after roasting them.

He could spend hours eating peanuts without salt, just roasted was a food he was proud to eat.

After everyone finished eating their peanuts, their Chips and Fish arrived, delicious food that Einar fell in love with in England when he visited his father\'s in-laws, although he did not remember the dressing that ketchup made was something basic that he could not miss.

Einar\'s wives, when they saw the delicious plate of fish and Chips, they used ketchup and began to eat it. At that time, no one spoke because they simply could not do it.

The taste of cod and the taste of potatoes with salt and ketchup was a kind of drug that made them eat even more, so they all kept eating until they were satisfied.

His plates ended up completely empty so Einar looked fondly at his family "Unfortunately we cannot eat peanuts every day, as we need to plant them, but we have enough potatoes to be able to eat until the next harvest so the food will improve a lot.

I will prepare potato gratin, mashed potatoes, potatoes with tuna and many other dishes. I am sure that it will become the star food of our nation in the future.

But although it will be important, it should not be the main one since potatoes can suffer pests or diseases. "

They all nodded because they agreed with Einar, however the most grateful for the fact of being able to eat potatoes were the children, as they found the Chips extremely delicious.
