Chapter 157 Midterm Examination and Oven
The eighth day after the snow stopped.
The snow in the town square and avenues has long been cleared away, and residents took advantage of the rare lack of snowfall to take out some large items of clothing to dry.
The residents of Songye Town who lived near the mercenary union branch suddenly discovered that there were some new faces among the mercenaries who came in and out of the union every day. They were a pair of young men and women who looked very calm and a pair who looked like they were talking about cross talk.
The noisy man and woman. The calm pair are very polite in dealing with others, but the woman seems to be afraid of the cold, with her scarf covering half of her face. It has aroused the thoughts of many young people in the town, but seeing her
After the shocking scene where she and her partner hunted a large wild boar just by themselves, most people only dared to choose to watch from a distance.
Compared to the other young man and woman, they were much noisier. Many people had witnessed this carefree-looking black-haired girl slap her partner's brown-haired boy on the back and accidentally slap him into the nearby snow.
In the pile, the two of them chased each other all morning, causing a funny scene. However, the two of them got very familiar with the children in the square soon after they came here. On the third day after the snow stopped, nearby residents saw a man led by Orange.
A scene in which a child yelled "Sister!" to a black-haired girl. At first, residents were still worried whether the two would hurt the child without knowing the severity or deceive the child. Later, the union and the mayor organized a dispute over wild boar meat.
At that time, everyone found that the brown-haired boy who was partnered with the black-haired girl gave the meat to the children first, and also distributed the pig ears to several children. The residents were slightly relieved.
After a few days, the residents of the town became somewhat familiar with the four new faces.
"Boss, please give me three portions of spicy soup, three portions of bread, three portions of meatloaf, and two bags of roasted bird eggs."
Ai Ye walked into the small restaurant skillfully and called directly to the counter.
"Okay!" The middle-aged man in front of the window turned to the kitchen and shouted a few times, looked behind Ai Ye, and asked: "Sister, you are the only one today? Where is brother Eric?"
"It's in the back. He found some wild fungi when he just came down the mountain and ran to dig them up. I came over first to help him order food and occupy a seat, but..." She looked around the small restaurant.
Today there are only a few people in the crowded seats. "There are not many people coming for breakfast today."
"The mayor organized a convoy early this morning to transport the pine wood to the rice city. The young people who had made a lot of money in the past few days followed the convoy into the city. Even the oranges got pocket money from Miss Weilan.
The money went with me."
The middle-aged man casually peeled an apple, cut it into slices with a knife, and placed it in front of mugwort. "I guess you two have to work hard today. Eat more... Oh, no, leave some for brother Eric."
"First come, first served, hey."
Ai Ye picked up two slices of apple, and her mouth was instantly filled with the sweet and sour aroma.
A week ago, after completing the registration as a mercenary, Defan went to the butcher shop to sell the hare he had hunted the day before and earned some copper coins. Pretending to be casual, he told the clerk who bought the rabbit meat that he and his companions were mercenaries.
After identifying themselves, they went to a nearby grain and oil store to buy some condiments and flour after being introduced by the clerk. The four of them completed their first day of going down the mountain.
But after returning, the four of them were worried about the next group to act together. First, Evelin and Eric had to separate. Defin planned to buy hair dye for the two of them when he had the opportunity to go to the city, but no matter
It was not suitable for the two of them to act together before and after dyeing their hair. After all, the twins were too eye-catching. Eric initially suggested that the two men and two women act separately. After all, if Evelin is with Aiye, she will not do anything too outrageous.
But based on the experiences in Dam Town and Yanghe City, the status of these two fledgling female mercenaries alone is enough to cause some unnecessary trouble. Coupled with Ai Ye's irregular and explosive temper, I'm afraid
It would cause big trouble, so Evelin decisively rejected this grouping. Eric wanted to protest, but after seeing Evelin's smiley eyes, he could only agree obediently.
Considering that Evelin and Eric walking side by side were too eye-catching, Aiye suggested that if they had the opportunity, they would go to the town to buy some disguise items so that the two of them could dress up properly. Therefore, the current primary goal of making money was not only buying food for the winter, but also
There is an additional plan to buy simple hair dye supplies. Until the goal is achieved, the two siblings can only try to avoid appearing in public at the same time.
In the next week, Aiye and Eric's activities were basically in Songye Town. Wei Lan - the union receptionist who was called Orange by the little boy who registered them, arranged some simple activities in the town for the two.
work, secretly assisting the two to familiarize themselves with the commissioning process of the mercenary union. Evelin and Defin are active outside the town, helping the old mercenaries who assist the town workers or serving as guards. Although they are also mercenaries,
I'm a novice soldier, but with Defan's previous experience, I can handle it.
On the first day of their careers, Aiye and Eric's job was to help organize the warehouse of the grain and oil store next to the union.
The owner of the grain and oil store was worried. The newly-built warehouse was nearby, but the grain was not very light. After moving it twice, he had to go to the labor union to ask if anyone could help.
The soldiers and townspeople were called to deal with the pine wood, and the neighbor who originally came to find someone had no hope, but it happened to be the time for the two of them to report to the union.
Weilan introduced the two of them to the neighbor. Seeing that he could find help, the neighbor took Weilan and the two young men to the grain and oil store owner's store. The grain and oil store owner looked at the two people hesitantly: the young man looked a little
He has strength, but the young woman looking around looks thin and small, and the skin on her face looks fair. Can she have the strength to move those bags of food that are so heavy that his waist breaks?
But there is really no one around. If we keep dragging it on, won’t it be more difficult to move when it starts snowing in two days?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So the owner of the grain and oil store could only hand over the work to them like a living horse, thinking that if this young female mercenary could not even get a bag of grain,
If he can't carry it, then he will discuss with Weilan to discount the commission.
The result was a stunned look at Ai Ye easily carrying two large bags of rice noodles and stepping into a deep hole in the snow. Eric, who had high hopes for him, slowly followed behind carrying a bag of grain.
Although there were some deviations in the process, the work that was expected to take two days was completed in less than one day. The owner of the grain and oil store had nothing to say and generously gave 50 copper coins - the price agreed with Weilan at the beginning was 30 copper coins.
Since the commission price is lower than 1 silver coin, the guild's commission is 20%. Now Wei Lan is also happy. The commission that was originally only 6 copper coins is now 10 copper coins, so she can buy more meat for dinner.
When he left the guild with the commission, it was already dinner time when the restaurants around him started to get busy. Eric, who was responsible for collecting the money, was also responsible for purchasing ingredients. He followed Defin's instructions and bought cabbage for 5 copper coins and cabbage for 5 copper coins.
eggs, and then took 10 copper coins to buy a whole piece of pork belly with far more fat than lean meat, wrapped it in a sack and left the town with Evelin, walked around the wild roads a few times to prevent anyone from following her, and then returned to the cabin.
That night, Defan squeezed two pots of oil from pork belly. After squeezing out the oil, Defan took it and stir-fried it with cabbage. It was eaten by the four people who had finished their first day's work in one night.
The commissions in the next few days were relatively trivial, mostly related to chimney repairs or roof repairs. Although the commission for each such commission was only about 10 copper coins, it was still convenient for the two of them to become familiar with each other in front of the townspeople. In less than a week,
, the residents and shops around the guild all knew about their identity as new mercenaries, and also learned that they originally came to Abel to work in the autumn, but due to the blockade and heavy snow, they had nowhere to go, so they changed their jobs to mercenaries.
Earn travel expenses and living expenses for yourself.
The sympathy gained by this rhetoric was also the basis for the two people to quickly integrate into Songye Town. In addition, the strength (or strange power) shown by Aiye made many townspeople willing to find them to work and process pine wood outside the town.
The workers and businessmen also heard the news, and asked Wei Lan about mugwort, hoping to let her help process the heavy pine wood. However, Wei Lan said, "I only have two people on hand, so I will chop down the trees for you."
