Chapter 716 705. Small town life
A very characterful garrison commander came to the town. He didn't even give the mayor Marko face, and the mayor Marko was furious in the town square.
What happened in the square in the morning soon spread to the ears of the residents of the town.
This small town is not big, and news spreads quickly.
The garrison officer and the town mayor, Marko, are at odds. For most town residents, there is no direct interest relationship.
Most of the residents in the town acted indifferent, and everyone hoped that there would be more wonderful scenes in the morning, which would become a topic of conversation after dinner.
When Suldak walked back to the garrison camp, he saw Samira leading a group of recruits on the bow and arrow training ground under the north city wall, teaching these recruits some skills in using alloy bows. This time, he taught them five Wearing a set of tight-fitting salamander leather armor, Samira patiently imparted her experience on point-blank shooting skills within ten yards.
A group of recruits gathered around her to observe her sideways drawing of the bow. Every time the arrow hit the bull's-eye accurately, the recruits cheered.
But when Samira asked every recruit to master this basic archery skill within a week, or else they would have to be punished with corporal punishment, the recruit team began to howl.
Suldak didn't bother Samira's bow teaching, and walked straight back to the small building.
At this time, Andrew and Gulitum had assembled a group of veterans of the cavalry battalion. They rode away from the barracks and went straight to the north wall of the town. They should be patrolling the border. Bringing the veterans from the cavalry battalion, Suldak also set off with the ogre Gullitum to avoid unexpected incidents outside the city.
Of course, this is also in line with the idea of the ogre Gullitum.
He came to the town of Dodan with the cavalry battalion. Apart from the marching rations, he only had luncheon meat and canned wild vegetable soup on the way. What is needed is to eat meat, but at present, there is a temporary shortage of meat and eggs in the military camp, so the ogres can only use the ideas of small forest animals outside the city to improve their food.
Andrew ran to invite him to go out of the city together. Gulitum didn't want to wait for a moment. He joined Andrew, brought a team of veterans drawn from various squadrons, and marched out of the north city wall, along the Dodan Canyon go north.
Suldak walked back to the small building. Selena was having lunch with Signa and Nika in the dining room. There was a plate of baked wheat cakes and stewed vegetables on the table, and the two girls were holding wheat cakes in their hands. , Head down to eat.
Nika saw Suldak walk into the restaurant, frowned at the table, and stood up from the table cautiously.
Selina looked at Suldak in surprise, put down the wheat cake in her hand, and asked:
"Why are you back?"
Suldak pressed the somewhat nervous Nika on the seat, pulled out the chair at the main seat and sat down.
Signa stood up knowingly and poured a glass of water for Suldak.
"The business over there is over, of course I have to hurry back for lunch." Suldak picked up a piece of crispy baked wheat cake from the basket, broke off a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, saying.
Selena quickly picked up an empty plate, scooped out some stewed vegetables from the clay pot in the middle of the table, placed it in front of Suldak, and asked, "That mayor, Marco, didn't treat you to dinner?" work meal?"
Suldak looked at the light dishes on the table and said, "I guess he's not in the mood to eat now. Why do you eat these at noon?"
Selina quickly stood up, rolled her sleeves and said to Suldak: "I thought you wouldn't come back to eat, fried eggs or fried steak, what do you want to eat, the stove here is very convenient for doing anything."
Suldak shook his head and said, "That's all. When Signa and Nika are growing up, they usually need to pay attention to balanced nutrition. Every meal must have meat and eggs. I think there are also cheese shops in the town. If you have time in the afternoon, buy some and come back."
"Usually in Wall Village, I have never seen you have such high demands." Selina sat down and muttered softly.
Suldak said helplessly: "After all, Wall Village has limited conditions. Since there is no shortage of these materials in Duodan Town, we don't need to save on food."
"Understood." Selina looked at Suldak tenderly and agreed.
Suldak broke the wheat cake into pieces, soaked it in the stewed vegetable soup, and said while eating: "Let's eat some at noon, and we will meet with the tailor shop owner later."
Selena heard what Suldak said, so she didn't insist on going to the kitchen to fry meat.
Suldak looked up to Nika at the end of the table and said:
"Nica, when the house in the town is rented out, you will live in the town with Selena and Signa. Are you literate?"
Nika quickly put down the wheat cake in her hand and shook her head.
Suldak signaled Nika to continue eating, and said, "Selena, you can teach Nika the Grimm Imperial language first."
After a while, Suldak asked, "Nika, how old are you this year?"
"10 years old." Nika said, trying to swallow the food in her mouth.
Suldak lowered his head and calculated, then nodded and said:
"Oh, there are still two years of preparation time before you can participate in the Magic Awakening Ceremony. I plan that you learn Chinese characters first. Later, I will find a magic teacher for you and Signa, so that you can receive some magic enlightenment. I think you have some talent for magic."
Nika did not expect that she would be taken to Dodan Town, and besides working as a handyman, she would also have to learn **Mandarin.
"I will study hard, Lord Baron." Nika said.
Suldak said to her again:
"Now your task is to calm down and learn some useful knowledge. You will be able to help me in the future. After a while, I will ask someone to pick up your mother from Kilan Town. You have to work harder to let you and you Mother is having a good time."
Nika raised his head, looked at Suldak in surprise, and agreed:
"I will work hard, Lord Baron."
She always thought that she was brought here as a maid to be a handyman.
Now it seems that she is a bit deviated from the life she thought, and the main task is to study. If she is asked to do some chores, she is quite sure to do well, but if she is asked to study... the aboriginal children in Kielan Town have never had a chance Having been to college, she couldn't even write her own name.
After lunch, Suldak took Selena, Signa, and Nika into the town.
…
Surdak and his group stood at the door of the tailor shop, watching the window of the small tailor shop wiped clean, and the hangers inside were full of various styles of ready-made clothes. For Duodan Town, there is such an exquisite tailor shop. shop, I was a little surprised for a while.
He opened the door and walked into the store, and the shop assistant standing at the door immediately greeted them and asked them what they needed, whether they wanted tailor-made clothes or ready-made clothes.
Selena and Signa seldom visit this kind of tailor shop, and their eyes are immediately attracted by the exquisite clothing in the store. Selena reached out and touched the fabric with exquisite patterns on the counter, but said nothing.
"Neither you nor Signa have any good-looking dresses. I usually don't have much time. If you like this opportunity, you can choose a few more." Suldak said to Selina.
Selena didn't say anything, standing in front of the rows of hangers, carefully looking at the styles of clothes in the store.
This tailor shop is not too big, so I quickly looked through all the dresses, picked a few on the hanger, and asked Surdak which one was beautiful.
"I don't like doing multiple-choice questions, so of course I want to buy them all!"
Suldak said to Selina.
Turning around, he asked the clerk in the store again: "If the size is not suitable, you can change the size here!"
"Of course, if you have any additional needs for these styles of dresses, you can add them at will..." the shop assistant said quickly.
Duodan town is not big, and usually there are few customers like Suerdak who want to buy several sets of clothes at once. Although he is a strange face, the store clerk is also very enthusiastic.
This kind of big order naturally requires the boss in the store to come forward, and he can also contact the customer.
Another guy who was guarding the shop immediately called the tailor shop owner Epson over.
Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, saw Suerdak and his group, and immediately recognized him as the tenant who had an appointment with him last night. It's been a long time, I thought you guys were late, but you were here to pick out clothes."
"You opened this shop?" Suldak asked the tailor shop owner.
The owner of the tailor shop put on the appearance of a successful person, and said proudly: "Yes, it has been open for many years. When I was young, I heard that it is easier to make a living here, and the immigrant plane can also exempt from military service. , I brought a pair of scissors and a measuring tape to the Bailin plane, and lived here for more than ten years, and I became a family here, and saved a shop."
Suldak handed over the selected clothes to the store clerk, and the clerk behind the counter quickly wrapped up the long skirts one by one.
The owner of the tailor shop said to Selina: "Madam, if you think there is something wrong with these skirts, you can come to the shop to change the size at any time, and there are some gifts in this shop..."
Then whispered a few words to the young female shop assistant, and the female shop assistant brought Selina, Signa, and Nika into the inner room of the shop.
After waiting for a while, Selena, Signa, and Nika came out. Nika was holding a cloth bag in his hand. Seeing the blush on Selena's face, Suldak guessed that these gifts, It is likely to be some small clothes or something like that. I didn't expect this tailor shop owner to be quite good at business.
Suldak paid the money readily, and compared it, the prices here are a bit more expensive than those in Hailansa City, probably because of the cost of fabrics. After all, this place is located in the most remote part of the Bailin Plane.
"If you come again in the future, if you don't need additional gifts, I can give you a discount..." the tailor shop owner said to Selina.
Although the house has not been rented out yet, it has accepted such a business. The owner of the tailor shop is also in a very good mood, and he does not forget to win over Selena before leaving the house.
…
The tailor shop owner's house is a bit far from the shop on the street, but according to his introduction, this small single-family building is built on the edge of the wealthy area, and the people living here are immigrants from the Green Empire. The owner of the tailor shop also considered that this single-family building is a bit far from the tailor shop.
After I had some savings, I bought another small yard behind the tailor shop, and just renovated a small building.
Now their whole family lives there, and the small building here is idle.
The tailor shop introduced while walking, and came to the small building.
Only then did Suldak realize that, just as the tailor shop owner said, the living quarters here are obviously cleaner and tidier than other places in the town. The small buildings are neatly arranged together, and all have a small yard. The yard is not too big.
A group of people walked into the single-family small building. It looked a little old from the outside, but the interior decoration was very warm. The living room, kitchen, bathroom and upstairs clean attic, Selena liked this house very much, the only thing that was not satisfied The best place is that the backyard is full of debris. She wants to build a swing under the grape trellis, and it is a bit far from the garrison camp.
Surdak asked the tailor shop owner about the rent.
The tailor shop owner said that there are thirty-five silver coins per month. If you can live for three months, you can pay one gold coin, but you can't damage the furniture in the building.
The neighbor next to him heard someone talking in the yard here, and came out of the house curiously, climbed up the ladder, and peeped into the yard here through the thick bushes. When he saw the tailor shop owner, he greeted him warmly: " Epson, you haven't been back for a while, I thought you were going to sell the house here."
"Well, I haven't met a suitable buyer yet. These are my tenants. They are businessmen from Bena City. They want to do some business in Dodan Town. Maybe you can still deal with them in the future." Tailor shop owner Epson introduced to his neighbors.
The neighbor looked at Suldak curiously, just as Suldak raised his head.
When he saw Suldak's face clearly, he almost fell off the ladder into his yard in fright. After finally stabilizing his body, he greeted Suldak with embarrassment.
He couldn't figure out why the new commander of the garrison wanted to hide his identity from Epson, the tailor shop owner. Maybe he didn't want to make the matter of living here public.
Seeing the expression on the neighbor's face, Suldak knew that he recognized him. Seeing that he didn't point out to the tailor shop owner, he probably had some concerns in his heart.
"Here it is..."
As he said that, Suldak took out four gold coins from the purse, handed them to Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, and said, "Live here for a while and see, but you have to take out the gold coins in the backyard before tonight." Get rid of the rubbish, I don't want to see that **** when we move in tomorrow."
Epson, the owner of the tailor shop, clenched the heavy gold coins in his hand, stretched his eyebrows with a smile, and said repeatedly: "I'll find someone to move it out immediately!"
"You can take advantage of this afternoon to tidy up the things in the house. Except for the basic bed and wardrobe curtains, don't leave anything behind. In addition, we will move in tomorrow." Suldak finished. , and took Selena and the others out of the yard.
The neighbor next door stretched his neck to see Suerdak and his party walking away, and asked the tailor shop owner with an exaggerated expression on his face: "Epson, don't you even know who he is, so why don't you just ask him?" Did you rent the house to him?"
