[Chapter 45 You have a new task, please check it]

After chatting with Fording for a few more words, David realized that Fording had not only ensured the supply of wood for the new houses in the village, but also replenished the inventory that had been consumed.

No wonder Fording watched movies until late and got up late this morning. It turned out that there was no urgent thing to do, 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 didn’t want to relax completely. After he was not short of wood in a short period of time, he planned to find something else to do.

“Build a public toilet? Repair the water pipe?”

If the people of Azeroth knew that Tirion Fording, one of the first generation of paladins, the lord of Hearthglen, and the famous, was actually studying building toilets and digging ditches in a remote village, they would probably think it was a joke.

They would never believe that Tirion Fording would do these things.

However, Fording, as the person involved, didn’t care about these things. He thought it was a good thing to be busy every day. In this magical village, he can also get in touch with a lot of knowledge that he could not get in touch with before.

Recently, when he learned that Steve and Peggy were both soldiers who participated in the hot weapons war and were front-line commanders, Fording had a new partner to chat with.

Besides, he really wanted to know what David could build Winter Village into?

A few days passed peacefully, and the farmers in Winter Village moved into new houses. Although the interior of the house still needed some time to be decorated, they no longer had to squeeze into the temporary big wooden house and moved into a new home that belonged to them completely.

In order to celebrate the farmers moving into their new homes, David took out the meat in stock and the bagged food left by Mark, and finally prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Everyone worked together to get a lot of food and filled the two newly made large tables. Then all the villagers in Winter Village, including outsiders, locals, those who have been determined to settle down for a long time, and those who occasionally wandered over, all sat at the table to enjoy the food.

David knew that the gap in status might make the farmers dare not let go and eat to their heart’s content, but this moment today had a special meaning for David’s Winter Village.

No matter he had cultivated farmland and grown food before, or he had been officially appointed by the kingdom and became the mayor of Winter Village, David felt that it was a little lacking.

Only today, when the villagers officially settled down in this place, did he feel that Winter Village was truly established. So, he called everyone together to celebrate.

Of course, in order to avoid possible embarrassment, he still divided two large tables and let the villagers sit separately.

The two large tables were still placed on the easternmost side of the village, not close to each other but keeping a distance. The table near the wooden house where David lived was the table they used to eat and chat. As the number of people increased, it was lengthened again.

Sitting at this table tonight, in addition to several special residents who came to Winter Village from another world, there were two locals, Addis and Alfie, and Samantha and Conn, mother and son.

After the mother and son were entrusted to David by Marloni, David only chatted with them a few words at the beginning. After knowing Samantha’s name, he didn’t have much contact.

The mother and son have been spending more time with the farmers during this period. If an outsider who doesn’t know the inside story comes here, he will definitely treat Samantha as an ordinary villager.

But there are no outsiders in Winter Village. Even the captains who have just arrived know that Samantha is not an ordinary farm woman. After today, as the three self-employed farmers reclaim the farmland, Samantha will immediately become the largest landlord in Winter Village besides David.

In this case, it is not difficult to understand why she and her son sit at David’s table.

However, Samantha behaved very reserved, while her son Conn was very lively. Because of their similar age, he soon played with Alfie.

The two children ate quickly and couldn’t sit still. They were even more unwilling to listen to the adults saying a lot of words they didn’t understand, so after eating, Alfie turned around and said something to Laura. After obtaining Laura’s consent, he called Conn and ran away together.

“Don’t play for too long, it hurts your eyes.”

When Alfie left the table, Addis simply warned him and stopped paying attention. It was obvious that he knew what the child was going to do: play video games!

He knew that the child was very obedient, so he just needed to warn him and didn’t need to keep an eye on him, so he didn’t even move his butt and continued to enjoy the food on the table.

“David, you have a lot of strange things here.” Addis has been living in Winter Village for a while. At first, he carefully avoided Maroni, which led to him staying outside the village more.

At that time, he felt that life here was no different from that in Iron Tree Castle. After Maroni left, he no longer had to worry about Alfie’s identity being exposed. It seemed that moving was a very correct choice.

As a result, when Maroni left and stayed in the village for a long time, he found that there were so many strange things in David’s village, as well as a group of people of unknown origin, and these people seemed to have extraordinary identities!

He had wanted to talk to David about this for a long time, but David didn’t know what he was busy with every day, and he had no chance to talk to David alone. As a result, day by day, he found that some things were better to be said directly, and there was no need to avoid these people.

“How is it? Is there anything you are not used to?”

“Nothing is not used to. I have even gained several pounds since I came here.” Winter Village is not short of food at all now. After all, Laura has supplemented it from another world, and a new batch of potatoes will be harvested soon.

In addition, the new farmers have moved into their new homes, and they will devote themselves to reclaiming farmland next – David may not understand, but the old hunter Adis knows how amazing the results will be if these farmers really go crazy to reclaim the fields.

At that time, he will not be surprised if these people directly reclaim the land around Winter Village into farmland.

Then plant potatoes. If you calculate the time, even before the summer is over, Winter Village will have a bumper harvest. If you hurry up, you can even plant another round – with so much food, even the most ordinary farmers don’t have to 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.

In fact, there are still a lot of salt reserves in Winter Village, but the salt, sugar, spices, etc. in the village are all considered David’s personal property. If ordinary farmers in the village want to get these things, they need to buy them from David.

At present, Winter Village is in the “big pot meal” 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 enter a new stage only after the village’s infrastructure is completed.

He is not prepared to distribute daily necessities to the villagers for free. He knows that once he does this, he will not be able to restore the village to its “normal track” in the future.

The next collective food supply will nominally be one of the rewards for farmers to take extra work from him. In addition to providing daily meals, David will use potatoes, meat, salt, sugar and other items as rewards to let the villagers participate in various construction work.

In fact, his approach is similar to the regulations of other lords, except that other lords have farmers who participate in various labors to reduce the taxes they need to pay; David did not mention reductions, but paid them separately.

He thinks that it would be better to let people gain some benefits than to let them lose something, and the optimistic and positive attitude of farmers is more conducive to the development of the village.

David is not sure whether his approach is good or not. Anyway, he will arrange it this way first and adjust it later if there is a problem! Anyway, his village is just a small village, and it won’t be too chaotic if there is a mess.

The people at the table ate and drank, listening to David’s arrangements, and they also didn’t think there was any problem.

At this time, the farmers who had already had a full meal had returned to their new homes to rest. When tomorrow morning came, they would start a new job: reclaiming the land.

David and others continued to chat, and the meal didn’t completely disperse until midnight. “Ordinary people” like Samantha had already taken their sons back to their new homes to rest.

Steve went back to the Marvel Universe. He is now running back and forth between the two worlds every day, but he mainly goes back to his own world to rest and comes here when he has nothing to do during the day.

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 according to the actual situation, and finally hand it over to Laura to purchase the equipment.

As for how to transport the equipment? In addition to trying to choose smaller equipment first, the final solution is to disassemble the machine into parts and transport them in batches, and then assemble them here in Winter Village.

Laura, who has received various tasks in a row for several days, feels that if this continues, her adventure plan will have to be postponed to next year.

After returning to the cabin with David, Laura firmly stated: I will set off after finishing these few tasks at hand! There is absolutely no delay.

I don’t know if Laura has unlocked some strange attributes. The day after she said this, a new task was handed over to him.

Will Turner, the little blacksmith who disappeared for several days and David thought would never come back, finally appeared. After he thoroughly figured out what was going on, he showed great interest in becoming a blacksmith in Winter Village-especially under the premise that he can travel freely between Winter Village and Royal Port.

He feels that if he can fight for a career that belongs to him here, he can be more compatible with his sweetheart Elizabeth.

“So… top-notch blacksmithing equipment, and some related books.” David looked at Laura and patted her weak shoulders: “Please.”
