Chapter 45 If you have new tasks, please check them
After chatting with Fording for a few more words, David learned that Fording had not only ensured the supply of wood for new houses in the village during this period, but had even replenished the depleted inventory.
No wonder Fording watched movies very late, and got up relatively late this morning. It turned out that there was nothing urgent to do at hand, so he gave himself a day off and prepared to have a good rest.
However, Fording only planned to rest for one day. He was used to being busy and did not want to completely relax. After having no shortage of wood in a short period of time, he was ready to find something else to do.
"Build public toilets? Repair water pipes?"
If people in Azeroth knew that the famous Tirion Fordring, one of the first Paladins and Lord of Hearthglen, was actually working on building toilets and digging ditches in a remote village, they would probably think it was
It's a joke.
They would never believe that Tirion Fordring would do these things.
However, Fording, as the person involved, did not care about this. He felt that it was a good thing to be busy every day. In this magical village, he was able to access a lot of knowledge that he had not been able to access before.
Recently I learned that Steve and Peggy were both soldiers who participated in the thermal weapons war, and when they were frontline commanders, Fording had a new partner to chat with.
What's more, he really wants to know what David can build Winter Village into?
Just like this, a few days passed peacefully. The farmers in Winter Village all moved into their new houses. Although the interior of the house still needs some time to decorate, they no longer need to continue to squeeze into the temporary wooden houses.
Completely your own new home.
No matter whether he had cultivated farmland and grown food before or obtained an official appointment from the kingdom and became the village chief of Winter Village, David felt that something was wrong.
Sitting at this table tonight, in addition to a few special residents who came to Winter Village from another world, are two locals, Addis and Alfie, as well as Samantha, Conn's mother and son.
In addition, the new farmers have moved into their new homes, and they will devote themselves to cultivating the fields. David may not understand, but the old hunter Addis knows what will happen if these farmers really go crazy to cultivate the fields.
Amazing results.
Then plant potatoes. If you calculate the time, Winter Village will usher in a bumper harvest of food even before summer is over. If you seize the time, you can even plant another round - so much food, even for the most ordinary farmers.
Don’t worry about having nothing to eat in winter. You can consider selling the extra food in exchange for other items, such as salt, sugar, etc.
As a result, after Maloney left and stayed in the village for a long time, she discovered that there were so many weird things in David's village, as well as a group of people of unknown origins, and these people seemed to have very different identities!
He had wanted to talk to David about this matter for a long time, but David didn't know what he was busy with every day. He had no chance to talk to David alone. As a result, as the day passed by, he found something
Just say it directly, there is no need to avoid these people.
During this time, the mother and son spent more time together with the farmers. If an outsider who didn't know the inside story came here, they would definitely regard Samantha as an ordinary villager.
"There is nothing uncomfortable. I even gained a few pounds after I came here." There is no shortage of food in Winter Village now. After all, Laura has replenished it from another world, and a new batch of potatoes will be harvested soon.
After following David back to the cabin, Laura said firmly: After finishing the few tasks at hand, she would set off! She must not delay any longer.
He was not prepared to distribute daily necessities to the villagers for free. He knew that once he did so, he would not be able to return the village to a 'normal track' in the future.
Steve has returned to the Marvel Universe. He now travels back and forth between the two worlds every day, but he mainly goes back to his own world to rest and come here when he has nothing to do during the day.
At that time, he felt that life here was no different from Iron Tree Castle. After Maloney left, he no longer had to worry about Alfie's identity being exposed, so it seemed that moving was the right choice.
David and others continued to chat, and the meal lasted until midnight before they dispersed completely. 'Ordinary people' like Samantha had already taken their son back to their new home to rest.
But there are no outsiders in the Winter Village. Even the captains who have just arrived know that Samantha is not an ordinary farm woman. After today, as the three farmers open up farmland, Samantha
He will immediately become the largest landowner in Winter Village besides David.
In fact, there are still a lot of salt reserves in Winter Village, but the salt, sugar, spices, etc. in the village are considered David's personal property. If ordinary farmers in the village want to obtain these things, they need to buy them from David.
David wasn't sure whether his approach was good or not. Anyway, he arranged it this way first and adjusted it later if something went wrong! Anyway, his place was just a small village, and if there was any trouble, it wouldn't go anywhere.
In fact, his approach is similar to the regulations of other lords, except that other lords are farmers who participate in various labors and will reduce the taxes they need to pay; David did not mention reductions and exemptions, but paid separate payments.
Fording and Mark agreed to go to the river tomorrow to see where it is suitable to install water pumping and water purification machines. Mark will then plan and design based on the actual situation, and finally leave it to Laura to purchase equipment.
The next collective food supply will nominally be one of the rewards for the extra work that the farmers receive from him. In addition to providing daily meals, David will use potatoes, meat, salt, sugar and other items as rewards, so that
Villagers participated in various construction works.
The two large tables were still placed on the easternmost side of the village, not right next to each other but at a distance. The table close to the wooden house where David lived was the table they originally used for eating and chatting. As the number of people increased, it was lengthened again.
part of it.
David knew that the gap in status might prevent farmers from letting go and having a good time, but today's moment had special meaning for David's Winter Village.
When Addis saw Alfie leaving the table, he gave a brief instruction and stopped paying attention. It was obvious that he knew what this kid was going to do: play video games!
He knew that the child was very obedient and could just give instructions without having to stare at him, so he didn't even move his butt and continued to enjoy the food on the table.
After the mother and son were entrusted to David by Maloney, David only chatted with them a few times at the beginning. After learning Samantha's name, David had no further contact with them.
"How's it going? Is there anything you don't like?"
"David, you have a lot of weird things here." Addis has been living in Winter Village for a while. At first, he carefully avoided Maloney, causing him to spend more time outside the village.
The two children ate quickly and couldn't sit still, and they didn't want to listen to these adults saying a lot of words they didn't understand. So after eating, Alfie turned to Laura and said something, Zheng
After getting Laura's consent, he called Conn and ran away together.
"Don't play with it for too long, it will hurt your eyes if you play with it for a long time."
He felt that people would feel better if they gained some benefits rather than losing something, and the optimistic and positive attitude of farmers was more conducive to the development of the village.
In order to celebrate the farmers moving into their new home, David took out the meat in stock and the remaining bagged food from Mark, and finally had a sumptuous dinner.
When the time comes, these people will directly reclaim the land around Cold Winter Village into farmland, and he won't be surprised.
The people at the table were eating and drinking, listening to David's arrangements, and they didn't think there was any problem.
Only today, when the villagers officially settled in this place, did he feel that Winter Village was truly established. So, he called everyone together to celebrate.
Laura, who had received various tasks in succession over the past few days, felt that her adventure plan would have to be postponed until next year.
The current Cold Winter Village is in the "big pot" stage. David has not considered letting the villagers "solve the problem of eating on their own" for the time being. It is estimated that the village will have to wait until the infrastructure of the village is completed before the village can enter a new stage.
At this time, the farmers who had already had a full meal have returned to their new homes to rest. When dawn tomorrow, they will start a new job: cultivating the land.
As for how to transport the equipment? In addition to trying to choose smaller equipment first, the final solution I came up with was to dismantle the machine into parts and transport them in batches, and then assemble them here in Winter Village.
Under such circumstances, it is not incomprehensible for her and her son to sit at the table on David's side.
Of course, in order to avoid possible embarrassing situations, he still set up two large tables for the people in the village to sit separately.
Everyone worked together to prepare a lot of food, which was placed on two newly made large tables. Then all the villagers in Winter Village, including foreigners, locals, and those who had confirmed their long-term settlement, occasionally came over and sat at the table.
Enjoy delicious food next to you.
However, Samantha acted very reserved, but her son Conn was very lively. Because they were similar in age, he quickly started playing with Alfie.
I don’t know if Laura has unlocked any strange attributes. The day after she said this, a new task was handed over to him.
The little blacksmith Will Turner, who had disappeared for several days and David thought he would never come back, finally appeared. After he thoroughly figured out what was going on, he showed great interest in becoming the blacksmith of Winter Village.
Interest - especially on the premise that he can travel freely between Winter Village and Port Royal.
He felt that if he could build his own career here, it would make him a better match for his sweetheart, Elizabeth.
"So... top-notch blacksmithing equipment, and some related books." David looked at Laura and patted her weak shoulder: "Please."
