After breakfast the next morning, Surdak took out the gifts he bought in Bena City and placed them on the dining table.
Two pairs of exquisite ladies' lambskin boots, a soft silk dress, and a gold necklace inlaid with rubies were gifts for Rita and Natasha respectively. The exquisite silver kettle was a gift for old Sheila, who had forgotten Peter.
As a gift, Suldak took out a fine silver-handled dagger he had with him and prepared to give it to little Peter.
Originally, Suldak was still worried about whether Old Sheila, Rita, and Natasha would accept these gifts. Unexpectedly, after seeing these expensive gifts on the square table, Old Sheila was just a little surprised, but she did not refuse these gifts.
.
Old Sheila looked at the silver kettle in front of her, and was sitting at the dining table in a daze. Seeing the faint sadness in her eyes, she probably thought of her son who died on the battlefield.
Rita couldn't help but gently caress the exquisite gilt patterns on these lambskin boots. Looking at the shoe straps mixed with gold and silver threads, the pointed toes of those little leather boots almost pierced her heart.
Her heart was beating loudly. This pair of leather boots was more exquisite than any sheepskin boots she had ever seen. She had seen a similar pair on the feet of a bride who married in the village.
But they are definitely not as beautiful as this pair.
She was sitting at the dining table, looking excited and excited. She wanted to touch the leather of the sheepskin boots to see if they were soft, but she was worried that she was not reserved enough and would be scolded by Sheila. She couldn't wait to try it.
Natasha, who was sitting opposite Rita, seemed much more reserved, but her eyes were also attracted by the magnificent ruby necklace on the table, and the one made of unknown fabric.
The fabric of the skirt looked as soft as the clouds in the sky, but the thinner the gauze material, the more translucent it looked. She felt that wearing any petticoat underneath would definitely look very tacky, but who could have the courage?
Just wear a sheer silk skirt like this when going out to meet people?
Thinking of this, a blush appeared on Natasha's fair face.
However, Little Peter grabbed the dagger in his hand unceremoniously. Old Sheila was worried that he would be hurt if he accidentally pulled out the dagger, so she took the dagger from Little Peter's hand and threatened to keep it for him for a while.
Little Peter looked at his grandmother stupidly, and wanted to struggle out of his mother's arms and snatch his little toy back.
"You actually prepared these expensive gifts for us. Dak is not as careful as you, so it cost you money!" Old Sheila said to Suldak, then looked at Rita and said: "Rita,
Put these away first, I was still worrying about your dowry before, but now I have something I can use."
Rita blinked her big lake-blue eyes, with a hint of joy on her face, but she tried hard to remain as reserved as she should be.
Old Sheila said to Natasha in a soft voice: "Natasha, since it is Dak's heart, you should accept it!"
Natasha nodded to Suldak and said softly to Suldak: "Thank you for the gift!"
She rarely spoke to Surdak, and her slightly hoarse voice carried a very special magnetism. But after saying this, she turned around and ran into the room holding her gift. She seemed to be a little excited.
, maybe thinking of some sad things.
…
Magic is very mysterious to the people in the village.
But just because you've never eaten pork doesn't mean you've never seen a pig running.
After Surdak used the 'Water Gathering' magic scroll to fill the water tank with water, Old Sheila asked not to use this extravagant method to fetch water, and these magic scrolls must be reserved for use when necessary.
Old Sheila didn't know that magic scrolls also have a shelf life. Once left for too long, the magic in the magic ink will evaporate and the magic scroll will be completely scrapped. However, Surdak was not prepared to refute, but took the initiative to lift the barrel.
Take on the work of fetching water at home.
Since there was a cow and a horse in the yard, it fell to Rita to mow the grass every day, and milk the cow every morning, so that little Peter could drink fresh milk every morning.
, in addition to little Peter, Surdak also had a glass of milk for breakfast. As for Rita and Natasha, they did not have this treatment. Their breakfast was still chestnut rice porridge mixed with some cassava.
A cow can milk almost half a bucket of fresh milk at one time, but Old Sheila plans to turn the milk into cheese and save it to be taken to the city in exchange for some salt.
Suldak was practicing chopping with a Roman sword in the yard. He used half a piece of wood to cut a wooden sword for little Peter and practiced with him. Little Peter ran wildly in the yard with the wooden sword.
Sweating profusely, old Sheila sat on the threshold of the door of the house, holding the dustpan in her hand. Her eyes always fell on little Peter. She saw little Peter began to imitate Suldak's sword swinging movements, with a look on his face.
Finally a happy smile appeared.
The carpenters from the village came to continue the work they had not finished yesterday. They wanted to lay oak boards on the walls and floors of the new stone houses, and also customized some wooden furniture for these rooms, such as Suldak's bed.
, cabinets, desks and chairs, etc.
The old village chief moved almost all the oak boards stored in the village warehouse here yesterday. For Wall Village, there are no forest farms nearby, so wood is also a very expensive resource. These wood were all purchased last year.
Before it snowed in winter, Chief Bright and his villagers cut down the wood from the mountains near Helensa City.
The dinner Sheila prepared for the carpenters was cream of mushroom soup and roast duck.
There are some wild ducks hidden in the reeds in the river tidal flats. As long as your archery skills are good enough, you can hunt some wild ducks. However, Suldak's archery skills are very average. Let alone wild ducks, even for Warsaw.
He can rarely hit the evil spirits on the battlefield.
The wild ducks used to entertain the carpenters in the village were sent by the village chief's son Charlie.
In the morning, Charlie and Luke carried brand-new hunting bows on their backs and built a simple raft made of reeds next to the tidal flat. The two people took the raft made of reed grass and entered the center of the tidal flat with their bows and arrows. In addition to hunting
We arrived at a few plump wild ducks and picked up a wicker basket of wild duck eggs.
In just three days, the new house was filled with furniture. The furniture made of oak boards looked very heavy, and the carpenters had completed all the work.
Surdak originally wanted to give some wages to these villagers who were good at carpentry, but they were angrily rejected by these villagers.
Sitting on the wooden bed inside the house, Suldak exhaled softly, thinking to himself: I finally have a decent-looking residence.
The room was a bit damp and filled with a faint smell of resin. Lying on the wooden bed, the room felt a bit stuffy, but it was much better than sleeping in a sleeping bag. There was a sound of water splashing from the bathroom next door.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep in the whole day. Suldak lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
