In order to maintain the lord's dignity, decorum, and credibility, a certain amount of ostentation is very necessary. Please follow the regulations of the first patriarch as soon as possible an...
Chapter 62 62. Dinner
"What does the Taofang do?"
The scholar expected the crowd to ask such questions, so he raised the bowl and asked, "Do this?"
"Bowls? I have plenty of bowls at home. I can make a lot of them by knocking down a piece of wood." An arranged extra spoke according to the script.
"Ceramic bowls are simpler than wooden bowls, more durable and easier to clean. Also, food will not spoil prematurely due to wood rotting." The scholar introduced the advantages of pottery.
Unfortunately, the crowd watching was not too impressed and urged him to read the last message.
"The lord wants to build a new village. It will be between East Port City and Huan Ge City, and its name is Adventure Village. Three thousand people will be recruited to reclaim wasteland, and household registration will be issued." The scholar said loudly.
“Can someone finally get household registration again?”
“It should have been done long ago.”
"Think carefully, the land near the primeval forest is very dangerous. A dragon beast might come out and attack the village at any time. That's why no one has been here this long."
The news spread among people.
This caused a stir in Donggang City. Too many homeless people had been waiting for this day. Some were so happy that they burst into tears. Others were in a heavy mood, thinking it was a mixed blessing.
If the lord does not send strong men to take charge, it will be difficult for ordinary people to gain a foothold near the primeval forest.
But this is relatively fair.
After all, formal household registration is not easy to obtain anywhere.
There was a lot of enthusiasm for signing up, with more than two thousand people signing up in just one afternoon.
There are too many people in this world who are not afraid of death! There are also many people who are simple-minded. They ignore the dangers and only see the benefits.
There were also cunning people who thought: Since there were so many people, even if there were really wild beasts, they might not be the ones to die . Compared with the people who signed up to open up the wasteland, there were very few people who participated in building the ditch. About less than a hundred people signed up.
Despite Davian's vigorous advocacy, he was unable to increase people's willingness to participate.
After all, the temptation of obtaining household registration and owning one's own land is obviously far greater than the gains from labor remuneration. The former means permanent stability and recuperation, while the latter is only a temporary benefit. Even a fool can figure out which is more important.
After learning about the situation, Bruno decided to go back and discuss with Lovey about increasing his salary.
The monthly salary of two silver dollars was lower than the normal income standard in the city, so it was difficult to attract the people to join in. The preparations for the dinner were handled by the head maid Triss.
After she hurried back from the wine shop, she began to decorate the restaurant. Actually, there was nothing much to decorate, just a few flowers and a few chairs on the long table.
That's about it. The main thing is to prepare for the dinner, which must be sumptuous. As for drinks, try to supply them.
The city defense officer Caiglan has asked for good wine many times, so a barrel needs to be prepared for her separately.
Before the sun sets, Lodel and Zoe return.
The cart was empty and there were not many prey.
The most valuable item was actually a fox! Lodel proudly held the fox up to show off: "Lovi, do you want a hat? Or a scarf?"
"I don't want to. The fox is so pitiful." Lovey had a compassionate expression on his face.
"All vixens deserve to die." Lodel snorted meaningfully.
Luo Wei hadn't done anything wrong, so he naturally didn't feel guilty. He said seriously, "Drink less today."
"I see. We finally have some meat dishes." Lodel grabbed the fox by the scruff of the neck and turned away.
After the lady left, the maid's blue tail began to wag: "Master, fox meat is not tasty."
"I know." Luo Wei smiled inexplicably: "Lan Lan is not a vixen! Right!"
"Yes, Lanlan is an ice wolf." Lanlan nodded pitifully.
"Is ice wolf meat delicious?" Lowe asked deliberately.
Lan Lan drooped her ears: "It's not delicious, it's not delicious! Master, you should eat fox instead."
There were bursts of laughter and noise in the corridor, and a sturdy woman strode in.
City defense officer Cai Gran.
He has a messy head of short blond hair, a square face, and a macho demeanor. His double testicles like a chin will leave a deep impression on people.
She knelt on one knee as soon as she saw Luo Wei, and the hand-kissing ceremony was performed very smoothly: "My Lord, do you want to give me a barrel of wine?"
Luo Wei didn't know about this yet. It was just a barrel of wine, so he didn't need to hesitate: "Of course, you can ask the butler to take a barrel away after the banquet."
"Thank you so much." Cai Gelan stood up straight in a hurry: "I will ask the butler for it now."
Luo Wei looked at her back as she walked away and secretly wiped the back of his hand on Luodel's skirt. This was not disgust, but physical discomfort. Luodel was upset: "What are you doing!"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Lovi calmed down and thought about Caiglan. Labels such as natural supernatural power and loyalty immediately emerged in his mind.
Long before Lodel broke through the limit, Caiglan was already a well-known limit breaker in the territory. He was recognized as one of the best.
He is dull and simple, which is more in line with Evelyn's principles of employing people, so he was entrusted with the important task of defending Donggang City.
It can be said that it was because of Caiglan and Bruno that Evelyn was able to successfully become a hands-off boss!
The seating arrangement has changed today.
In front of Lowe, besides Lodel and Evelyn, the second row behind them were Zoe and Caiglan.
The third row is Butler Mosophie and head maid Triss.
Next up are Xiqi and Misha.
Bruno and the two young men he brought with him sat at the end, forming a triangle. Bruno sat directly opposite Lovi, very elegantly.
The cook and the servants started serving the dishes. The first dish was roasted cuckoo bird with honey sauce. The honey sauce on top was honey. The cuckoo bird was pickled with refined salt, which made it even more delicious.
The crust is crispy and tender, just right.
There were three cuckoo birds cut into pieces and placed on the long table. Further back were white bread, steak, vegetable soup, grilled fish, and a fruit platter.
The variety of dishes is not very rich, so we can only serve them all as much as possible.
The cuckoo bird in front of Lowe was quickly eaten up, followed by the steak.
The empty plates were taken away by the waiters, and new ones were brought in immediately. It seemed as if the meat was endless.
Under the bright magic lamp, everyone's expressions were clearly visible. But they didn't talk, they just lowered their heads to eat, and the atmosphere was inevitably a little depressing.
Evelin said to Lovi, “Finish your meal early. It will be easier for everyone to talk and drink after you leave.”
"What a broken rule!" Lo Wei complained in his heart. He finished the steak on the plate silently, and coughed lightly to attract everyone's attention: "The celebration banquet can be lively. I'm done, you guys can do whatever you want. There's plenty of wine and meat today."
As he left with his hands behind his back, he heard a commotion coming from the restaurant before he had gone far.
The atmosphere seemed to become heated in an instant.
It has to be said that rules are very restrictive.
But if there are no rules, it will only cause more trouble.
