[Chapter 21 Gotta Help Lillian Lighten Her Work]
Three days later, Lilian’s steak was finally barely edible, at the cost of spoiling more than a dozen pieces of beef tenderloin, wasting a large basket of mushrooms, a lot of salt, and a small bottle of pepper that was more expensive than gold. . For a child growing up in a poor family, wasting food is a very shameful and unforgivable act, and Lillian feels very uneasy.
However, this loss is no problem for Robb, who has nearly a hundred gold coins in his arms. As long as she stops poisoning her master, she will be thankful.
Now there is another new problem that starts to bother Robb, and that is – Confession is tired of playing!
Confession was a little fun at first, but for three consecutive days, Rob heard almost the same thing. The blacksmith in Zhendong stole the chicken from the farmer in Zhenxi, and the farmer in Zhenxi slept and collected medicine in Zhennan. The wife of a man, the wife of a herbalist in Zhennan stole something from a miner in Zhenbei, and then the miner in Zhenbei slept with the wife of a blacksmith in Zhendong…
This small town, a group of simple and primitive townspeople, can’t play. What new tricks came up, and they were repenting over and over again for some meaningless parents. After Robb listened around, it could almost be said that he had mastered the situation in this town to the bottom of the sky.
Fortunately, after Rob got tired of playing, there were not many villagers who came to confess. It turned out that there was no priest in the town before, and the townspeople had a backlog of many parents who needed to repent. They all broke out in three days, and then they had nothing to do. There are things that can be repented of, and life needs to move forward before new things that can be repented of.
Therefore, Robb’s little chapel has once again returned to peace.
“Ah! No one has come to confess, and I can resume my idle state again.” Robb rolled over on the stone chair in the yard, lay on his side, and looked at Lillian next to him.
Lilian is not idle, she is holding a hoe, developing the deserted field in the yard, wearing a maid outfit is actually very inconvenient to dig the ground, but she insists on wearing the clothes given to her by the master, Without wearing her skirt, the little hoe was digging on the ground one by one, digging the fields one by one.
Robb asked loudly, “Lillian, what are you going to plant?”
Lilian wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied with a smile: “Grow potatoes! Obviously we have a field, of course we have to use it to grow potatoes.”
Robb said: “Oh, you can plant, but it’s not necessary! Let this It’s a wasteland, can’t you just buy potatoes?”
Lilian shook her head: “The owner’s money didn’t come from the wind, I wasted a lot of money making steak a few days ago, I want to grow potatoes, help The master earns the money back.”
Robb thought to himself: My money is no different from the wind blowing, eh! Forget it, the little girl probably can’t be idle, not everyone can be lazy on a stone chair like me for a whole day without moving.
I saw Lillian digging on the wasteland for a long time, sweating from exhaustion, and when she turned around, she saw that the water glass on Robb’s table was empty, she put down her hoe again, ran quickly to the well, and laboriously fetched a large bucket of water. Get up and go into the kitchen to boil water.
Seeing how busy and hard she was carrying a big bucket of water, Rob suddenly felt a little distressed. She was doing everything at home by herself. How tiring, no, I have to think of something to help her relieve A little work stress.
The easiest way is of course to buy a few more maids. However, Xifeng Town is too small and there are not many merchants. Most of the limited number of merchants are small local merchants. They are not real merchants. They only sell some cloth and salt. They do not sell daily necessities such as weapons, weapons, and farm implements, such as slaves.
And the only big businessman who has the ability to go south and north, that is, the shrewd guy who sold Lillian to Robb, has now gone to the road of light with the mayor’s letter, and then he has to go to the capital of saints to sell Robb For the flying dragon leather armor given to him, he will have to go to many places to buy things, and he will return to Xifeng Town after a large circle on the map.
An ancient merchant went out for a few months, and he wanted to buy a maid from him, but he was afraid that he would have to wait for a long time.
Robb regretted that he didn’t buy a few more maids at one time at that time. Now he can’t buy it if he wants to.
I can’t make my little maid too tired, but I don’t want to ask myself to help. If I really help Lilian with this and that, it will make me seem very gentle, but how can a happy feudal landlord live a lazy life? Wasn’t it completely drained?
Just thinking of this, Lilian came out of the kitchen, went to the well to draw a large bucket of water, and then laboriously carried the bucket to the kitchen.
Robb decided that he had to help Lillian to solve the problem of fetching water first. Since Robb is from modern times, he is much cleaner than people in the Middle Ages, so Lillian does most of the day now, which is to fetch water. When I wake up, I have to boil the water to wash Robb’s face and rinse his mouth. Then I have to boil water several times a day to make tea for Robb. At night, I have to make a large bucket of water to bathe Robb. In addition, Rob has to wash his hands before and after meals, and he is also very particular about the hygiene of tableware and cups. Before using, Lillian is asked to wash with water, and his clothes are changed and washed frequently, which is several times larger than that of ordinary people. .
Later, when the wasteland was reclaimed, when she started to grow potatoes, she had to fetch water to irrigate the fields.
It is no exaggeration to say that fetching water is Lillian’s heaviest job at this stage. If the problem of fetching water is solved, Lillian will be able to relax more than half.
Robb slapped his forehead and made an absurd decision: “Let’s just make a tap water system. With tap water, Lillian won’t be so tired.”
He raised his voice and shouted: “Lillian, After the water is boiled, stop what you are doing, and go to the town to help me find a plasterer and a blacksmith…”
As soon as the voice fell, Lilian had not had time to respond, when she heard a woman outside the church courtyard screaming anxiously. : “Mai Faren, please help my husband, he just fell off the cliff and broke a leg.”
“Yo?” Robb turned to look at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a middle-aged man in burlap. The fat young woman stood there, carrying a middle-aged man on her back. The man’s face was gray, his burlap clothes were broken in many places, and one leg formed a strange bend, dripping with blood.
Well, at this point you can see what’s going on.
There were no priests in this town before. The villagers could only pack a bag of herbs and cure them when they were injured. Not only is the treatment slow, but the patient will suffer for a long time, and may eventually be disabled for life.
But now that there is a priest in the town, of course it will be different. A priest can use divine magic to heal wounds. Once cured, it will be fast and secure. It will not cause the patient to suffer for a long time and will not leave sequelae. Of course the priest is coming.
