Chapter 287 Prince and Consciousness(1/2)
The weather is good today, the sun has been out all day, and the snow is gradually melting, indicating that the cold winter is about to pass.
Niu Dali finished his day's work.
He took off his strong armor, changed into a delicate fur coat, and put on a velvet hat specially made for orcs.
The cold air was instantly isolated from the outside, and Niu Dali nodded comfortably.
Niu Dali used to be not afraid of the cold - now he is not afraid of it, but after staying in Hongye City for a long time, he gradually learned to enjoy life.
It is better to keep yourself warm than to be colder.
This outfit was customized by the top tailor in Hongye City, and it cost him a total of ten gold coins!
In fact, there are not many ten gold coins. You should know that this is the top tailor in Hongye City. He serves the city lord's mansion and cannot be bought by others!
As a member of the Red Leaf Orc Legion, Niu Dali is naturally a bit privileged.
Wearing this luxurious outfit, Niu Dali came to his wife who was sewing her clothes with her head down.
His figure, which was like a hill, formed a shadow, covering Mrs. Niu, which looked very oppressive, but what was somewhat inconsistent was that his expression looked very cautious, and it could even be said to be pitiful.
"I'm going to have a drink again?"
Mrs. Niu asked without raising her head.
"Um."
Niu Dali hummed out with a strong nasal sound.
Mrs. Niu then raised her head and looked at Niu Dali who had been dressed up. Her wife turned her helplessly.
"You can drink alcohol, but if you dare to drink as much as you last time and throw it to the city lord's mansion, then don't come back!"
While talking, Mrs. Niu hung needles and threads directly on her horns, then took out a bag of gold coins from the drawer under the table and threw it to Niu Dali.
Judging from the size, there are at least hundreds of them.
Niu Dali showed joy, and he hurriedly caught it, fearing that he would fall to the ground, but said:
"Thank you, madam, but that's too much, it can't be spent!"
"Isn't you going to spend all of it! Today is Friday. If you meet friends in a tavern, don't you invite them to have a drink? Men shouldn't be too stingy, but don't be too stupid. Just choose the most expensive wines. The city lord of the good wine will reward us from time to time. You don't have to spend that money in vain, and..."
Mrs. Niu said, "It's not okay if a man is outside, he has no money."
"Well, madam, don't worry, I understand!"
Niu Dali listened patiently to his wife finishing his words, and then he patted his chest and promised.
"Go and go, remember, don't drink too much!"
Mrs. Niu waved her hand, as if she wanted this annoying guy to disappear from her eyes quickly.
"Hehe, then I'll leave-oh, oh, ma'am, don't forget to pick up the child from school today!"
Niu Dali suddenly thought that today on Friday, not only was he resting, but his son, who was in elementary school, should go home from school.
"Do you think I went to pick my son up after school like you, but ended up getting drunk, or was he dragged back by his son?"
When Mrs. Niu mentioned this, she became angry. Since then, his son has become famous in school!
I thought my classmates knew that he had an alcoholic father!
Seeing that the big bull's eyes were red, Niu Dali saw that the opportunity was not good and quickly left.
"Hehe, madam, I'm leaving!"
Huh ~
He ran to the gate in one breath. Before opening the door, Niu Dali tidi tidied up his clothes and hat. After confirming that there was no problem, he straightened his body and strode to open the towering gate.
This area is an orc residential area, and the orcs in Hongye City basically live here.
The reason why humans and orcs are separated is not too complicated. It is simply because orcs are generally tall, with two meters high and three meters high, and even more than four meters high. Ordinary houses are definitely not allowed to live in, so they can only design houses separately. All of the houses in this area are particularly tall.
Not far away, a group of orcs were chatting. As soon as Niu Dali came out, everyone slowly stopped their voices and looked over. One of the elderly male orcs smiled and said hello:
"Dali is going to drink again?"
"Yes, it's time for holiday tomorrow, and you'll have a rest today! Haha, do you want to be together?"
Niu Dali invited.
"Ahem, I have something to do today, so I can't get over it. Next time, next time together!"
The elderly cow orc coughed twice awkwardly.
"Okay, then I'll leave first!"
Niu Dali waved his hand and left with his head held high.
After Niu Dali left, the orcs began to communicate in a low voice.
"Hey, you guys say that Dali spends money so much every day, can his family save money?"
"I don't know, but they have earned more than us. Why is it their business? What are you worried about?"
"Didn't I care about it? Everyone used to come from poverty. We can't just waste it just because our lives are better now, right?"
"Tsk, are you jealous of the power of others? I heard that someone here wanted to drink the day before yesterday. Not only did he not ask for money, he was also driven out. When he was sleeping on the street at night, he was found and sent back by the sheriff?"
"Ah... Yes, is this? Why don't I know?"
"Maybe you won't drink a bar... But then again, Dali's wife is really a good wife and mother, so envious!"
"I'm so envious. My wife has scolded me for a long time because of my new clothes!"
"I envy you, my wife... Oh, I forgot, I don't have a wife, I'll bother you, I'll say goodbye."
"Oh, you all have a good idea. I asked my wife for money, and it took me a silver coin in half a day..."
"Silver coins? Be content. The biggest amount of money I carry on every day is copper coins! I not only envy Dali, but also envy you! Alas, this hateful woman has never taken me seriously since she has supported her Lord Xiao Tang!"
"It's because a guy got drunk last time and beat his wife. He happened to be seen by Xiaotang. After he was taught a lesson by Xiaotang, Xiaotang ordered us married orcs to hand over the money to the wife for safekeeping. Whoever dares not listen will beat him. If you don't have money, you will have no right to speak..."
“…”
Niu Dali's little ears moved, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously picked them.
Although these orcs spoke very little, he could hear it clearly. After all, as the person the city lord likes, how could he do without some ability?
When Niu Dali heard them praise their wife, he felt that there was light on his face and he walked lightly.
Niu Dali admires his wife's financial management ability very much.
When he was holding the family's finance collection, he didn't do anything every day, but at the end of the month I found that there was no money left. After handing over the financial power to his wife, Niu Dali spent a lot of money when he spent money, but when he settled the accounts at the end of the month, there were more and more gold coins. Now the gold coins he saved can buy the latest private steamer! It's amazing!
Niu Dali touched the purse on his chest. He decided to drink less wine today, and save one piece, and buy a cake for his wife to try it. Since he ate it once in the city lord's mansion last time, he has not forgotten the wonderful taste!
I just don’t know when Lord Hill’s cake shop will open, and whether the cake is expensive…
Niu Dali, who was thinking about things all the way, suddenly felt a tremor in his waist.
He instantly came to his senses, and then took out a square box carved with complex patterns from his waist. He clicked a button on the square box.
"Call Niu Dali, call Niu Dali, I am Zhu Datou, I am Zhu Datou, please answer when I received it! Please answer when I received it!"
Vocals actually came from inside!
But Niu Dali is not surprised. This thing is called a walkie-talkie, which was matched by Lord Zhang Feng. Only a few people in the entire Red Leaf City have it, and Niu Dali has taken it out to show off.
He pressed another button and replied:
"I am Niu Dali, I am Niu Dali! The answer is over."
People on the roadside looked at the orcs wearing exquisite clothes and holding walkie-talkies in their hands, all of whom showed envious expressions. This looked like the personal soldiers trusted by the city lord.
"Dali, you are here. It's great. I thought you were going to have a drink again! It's time for me to go out for patrol today, but my wife was born today. I want to transfer a class with you. You can help me out for patrol these two days. What do you think? The answer is over."
Although the other party's tone was anxious, it was obvious that he was very happy.
"Congratulations! Of course there is no problem. I will register for you now! The answer is over."
"Thank you, thank you! The answer is over."
After putting away the walkie-talkie, Niu Dali knew that he could not drink the wine, which was a little regretful. However, when he thought that after he returned, his wife would be very happy to find that he had saved two gold coins, right? And there were special cars to go out to patrol, so he could have fun again!
Thinking of this, Niu Dali smiled.
He didn't change his clothes, so he went directly to the city defense department to sign for Zhu Datou, and then asked someone to go to his house to bring a letter to his wife, and then received the car keys and three orc warriors' followers.
When I arrived at the parking lot, I drove a tall car similar to a pickup truck and left Hongye City.
The cars produced in Hongye City generally have two models, one driven by ordinary humans and the other driven by orcs.
After all, some orcs are too big and if they are not specially customized, these small cars will not be able to get into them.
"Oh, I really want to buy one..."
Driving the car, driving slowly along the snow, Niu Dali sighed.
If it was before... no, he had no money to buy it before!
Now I have saved enough money, but if I want to buy one, then their family will become the moonlight clan that was originally.
"No, you have to hold it back!"
In the end, Niu Dali gritted his teeth and held back. Although he earned most of the money in his family, he had a family and could not be so selfish.
To be continued...
