Chapter 5 - Buy food
Nord instructed Abel to distribute the baked bread to everyone. The wheat bread rewarded by the system was different from the brown bread just now. The golden crust exudes a peculiar smell of wheat after baking. The outside is crispy and the inside is also Quite soft.
Although Kelin is the village head, the situation of Kelin at home is not much better than that of the villagers. From time to time, he can eat some meat harvested by Lehman, but he still hasn’t eaten such delicate bread in the lane. The Yate brothers and sisters were holding a big bread, and eating something very sweet, their small mouths were full.
Lehman and others were also enjoying the rare delicacy. Only after Colin had eaten two bites of wheat bread, he continued to eat the dark and hard brown bread. Seeing Nord’s gaze, Colin smiled disapprovingly.
“Master Nord, the bread you brought is very delicious. This kind of wheat bread is only available in Mandun, the capital of the Seaman Kingdom. The land of the Seaman Kingdom is fertile and the wheat harvest there is very good. The bread. Think about the last time I ate it twenty or thirty years ago, when I was a young and strong guy. Now I am an old man.”
“Has the mayor of Colin go outside to go out?”
“Yes, when I was 18 years old, food in the village was cut off. The villagers had to go into the mountains to survive. I passed a group of mercenaries outside, and I wanted to go outside again, so I begged them to bring me with me.”
“Later, why did you come back and become the village head again.”
“Our head is an illegitimate son of a nobleman. He can’t inherit his father’s territory. So he came out to find a way out with his martial arts. We followed him around and made a living by relying on the tasks issued by the lords of various places. It was not bad. Later, he wanted to obtain the status of a knight and participated in the battle between two nobles. Not only did he die, but the mercenary group also suffered seven or eight casualties.”
“Without the leader, the mercenary group soon disbanded. I also returned to my hometown. I had some savings after years of wandering. I built this small wooden house, married a wife and had children, and later the village leader passed away, and the villagers recommended me. Became the village head.”
“Since you have been a mercenary, do you know about the surrounding towns? I have something to ask you.”
“I am willing to help you, Lord Nord, I have been to all the nearby towns. The closest to us is Fort Christopher. The current lord is Viscount Ollie Christen, who is said to be a greedy nobleman. He likes The civilians are crushed and very high taxes are imposed. Many farmers escape into the mountains or become robbers if they can’t survive, so the security in this area is not good.”
“Oh? Have the robbers come to you?”
Colin smiled proudly when he heard this question, lowered his head and took a bite of brown bread, bit hard, and then continued.
“That’s not true. Our village is close to the mountains, and we often go hunting in the mountains. We also have the ancestry of mountain people. The folk customs are strong, and the village has no oil and water, so no one will attack us. Even if they come, there will be nothing. Good fruit!”
“I believe you have this ability. Does Christenberg have a market? Can I buy construction tools and food?”
“There is a small market in Christenburg, but there are not many things you can buy. I suggest you go to Twin City. This is the only town nearby. There is a big market and there are a lot of goods. I May I ask you to buy tools and food for…”
Colin’s wrinkled face revealed surprise and excitement, his eyes looked straight at Nord, his eyes full of expectation.
Nord did not live up to Colin’s expectations and directly showed what he meant.
“I plan to build a manor and use food to pay the villagers. Do you think it’s okay?”
“Great, Lord Nord, thank you for your generosity. I will definitely arrange for the villagers to help you build a beautiful manor. With food, the villagers will be able to tide over this year’s difficulties.”
After hearing Nord’s answer, his excitement could not be concealed. After assuring Nord’s questions from the villagers, he turned to his eldest son and ordered.
“Lehman, you will summon some good hunters in the village tomorrow and go to Christenburg with Lord Nord. You must protect Lord Nord’s safety.”
“No problem, father, please rest assured, I will definitely protect Lord Nord.”
Lehman was also a little excited after hearing the news, but after hearing his father’s instructions, he calmed down, thinking about who should be better tomorrow.
Just as Colin and Nord were discussing the details of buying grain, Reid quietly walked to Lehman’s side, with a pleased look on his face, and said cautiously.
“Brother, you can also bring me tomorrow, I will definitely not trouble you.”
“We are going to take care of business tomorrow. Tomorrow’s food is very important to the village, and we must also protect the safety of Lord Nord, and have no intention of taking care of you.”
“I don’t need you to take care of me. I am a strong person and can also contribute to the village. Besides, I can learn more with Lord Nord.”
Reed stiffened his slightly thin chest, which seemed not so convincing.
Lehman looked at his younger brother, who had grown into an adult. Although his body was still a little thin, he did need some experience. In the past two years, this kid took the young people from the village to jump up and down. UU Reading www.uukanshu .com should take care of him too.
“That’s all right, you take the hunting bow tomorrow, and come with me, you must follow the orders then! Understand?”
“Understood, brother, I know you will help me, I will do well tomorrow.”
Reid heard his brother agree to his request, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and even the bread in front of him was sweeter.
“Dad, uncle, where are you going, can you bring little Lysa?”
Lysha watched Lehman Brothers talking curiously, and when he heard what his father and uncle were going to do, she opened her eyes and asked cutely.
Lehman smiled when his daughter asked.
“Little Laisa, my father is going to follow the lord to buy food tomorrow, so can’t you follow me if you are young!”
“Is the food the fragrant bread? Then dad, come back soon! There will be a big bad wolf in the evening.”
“Dad, my sister is still young, you said I’m a man, can I go?”
Yat asked not to be outdone. Reid burst out laughing when he heard his nephew say this.
Lehman gave his younger brother a glance, Reid didn’t care, stretched out his hand and rubbed his nephew’s face.
“Neither can you! Little Yate, only I can go.”
After speaking, he winked at Yate, his face was full of ridicule.
Yate snorted after hearing what his uncle said. He ignored the little uncle who likes to tease him, turned his face around, and could only breathe at the bread in front of him and took a bite.
After dinner, Nord and Lehman agreed to a time and went upstairs to rest.
Today is his first day when he arrives in the territory and turns on the system. It is also the first step in his future life. I believe that tomorrow will be full of surprises.
