[Chapter 74 The increasingly lively Winter Village]
“Do you have experience in managing a battalion?” David looked at Sharon Rogers. As the daughter of Captain America and Agent Carter, she may not only have received relevant training, but also have had actual experience early on?
“Hahaha!” Sharon laughed proudly twice, and then said simply: “No!” “
…”
Sharon is only in her early twenties, which is the age of not graduating from college on Earth. She has completed a variety of courses including hot weapons, cold weapons, unarmed combat, tactical command, special operations concepts, etc., as well as all kinds of knowledge that normal people need to learn. She is already a very powerful person. Even if she wants to experience what it feels like to command a real army, she doesn’t have the spare time.
According to Sharon’s future plan, she will participate in several actual combats next. If she performs well, she will officially take over her father’s title and become the new generation of Captain America.
If she performs averagely… She has not considered this situation. As the daughter of Steve Rogers, she cannot perform averagely!
“Let Eva help you. She was originally in the army doing paperwork, intelligence collation and liaison work. She is better at these trivial matters than you.” After watching her daughter in another world make a few unreliable jokes, Peggy gave her own suggestions: “The current situation in the village is similar to that in the army.”
“That’s a good idea.” David looked at Eva. He had thought before that he would have a headache with all kinds of paperwork after the population of the village increased, and as a result, a civilian was delivered to his door. Does the gold finger have a certain screening function? “What do you think, Eva?”
“No problem at all, sir.” After answering habitually, Eva realized that this was not the Allied army, so she wanted to change her words: “I mean, the village chief… or the lord?”
Although Eva is tall and has long legs, she always looks cute and silly. When she laughs, she looks like a fool. At this time, her face full of questions really makes people doubt her work ability-the Allied forces were not defeated because of this, right?
“Just call me David. It feels weird to call you village chief. Besides, I’m not a real lord.” David briefly explained his situation: “Not yet!”
David’s goal has always been clear, and he casually said some of his ideas: Not yet, when 400 new people arrive, the whole village will be rebuilt, and the village will be successfully upgraded to Winter Town, then he will be able to obtain the status of lord.
“At that time, will I still get the title?” David continued to write in his notebook while chatting with the three women sitting in front of him, and broadened his mind: “Normally, yes.”
“Baron?” Sharon was very curious about these things, which might be related to her living environment-people in America despise all kinds of European “feudal customs” while looking up to the “nobles”. It is normal for Sharon, who grew up in this environment, to be curious about these things.
“I hope so!”
In theory, he can also be made a knight. Although it would be a bit “strange” to let a knight manage a town, considering that it is a remote town in a remote area, no one would think it was a big deal.
Even if Winter Town is successfully established, it will not become an important town in the Kingdom of Tiran due to its geographical location. It does not need any “big shot” to sit in charge. It is legally correct to give David a knighthood.
“Do you think there is anything missing besides bedding, daily necessities for washing and eating?” David wrote for a while, looking at the contents recorded in the notebook. David was not sure whether he had neglected anything. After reading out what was written on it, he asked the women opposite.
“I think that after the construction of those large wooden houses, there is no need to spend time to build beds. We can directly buy bunk beds, so that each large house can accommodate more people.” Eva looked at Peggy and Sharon next to her. After a day of familiarity, they were relatively familiar with each other. She knew that they were giving her a chance to show off: “This kind of thing should be easy to buy, right? If it is a detachable metal pipe structure, it is not difficult to transport it.”
“Good idea!” David didn’t think about it at all. He only thought about building more wooden houses. If he chose to buy double beds, it would only take half the time planned to place all the craftsmen.
“If possible, you can buy some radiators.” Compared with the cabins, which are the main buildings in Winter Village, heating the cabins is more difficult. If you build a fireplace in the cabin and light a fire, the temperature of the whole cabin will be very high; the cabin is not possible because the space is too large and empty, and it is impossible to ensure a sufficient indoor temperature by only relying on the fireplace.
If enough radiators can be installed in the house, the temperature of the whole house can be ensured.
“I almost forgot about this thing.” David slapped his forehead hard. He actually forgot about this winter artifact. This is really a mistake that should not be made. Sure enough, it is easy to fall into a thinking error when thinking about it. He always gets stuck on one idea: “Thanks to you, Eva, you really helped a lot.”
Looking at the list of radiators, bunk beds (metal pipe splicing structure), bedding, daily necessities, etc. recorded in the notebook, he knew that he would need Laura to show his money ability and purchase all these supplies.
After reading the list again, discussing with Eva and Peggy for a few more sentences, and determining the approximate amount of enough, David finally closed the notebook.
After finishing the necessary work, David was in the mood to chat: “Where’s Steve? I didn’t see him today.”
“Steve said he might be busy recently and might not come every day.” It’s right to ask Peggy about Steve, and Eva took the opportunity to ask who Steve is.
“Steve Rogers, also a super soldier…”
“It seems that there are many people in the village that I haven’t met yet.” After listening to Peggy’s brief introduction of Steve, Eva also became interested in the other people in the village.
So far, she has only seen Laura, Mark, Peggy, Sharon and Jonah, and has not seen the others.
As soon as Eva finished speaking, a group of figures appeared in the open space not far away, and then Fording came with Van Cleef and the craftsmen of the Stonemasons’ Union.
“This is Tirion Fording.” David pointed to the middle-aged man with the most conspicuous physique and introduced: “The one with a red scarf hanging around his neck is Edwin Van Cleef. The others should be craftsmen… Oh, you can’t communicate with them now, because you two use completely different languages.”
At this point, David reminded Eva by the way: “Remember to ask me for a textbook on learning the local common language in English later.”
“Okay.”
He stood up to welcome the new craftsmen, and then took them to the newly built large wooden house with Van Cleef to settle down – it was not completely built, but it could barely be lived in. The craftsmen came early just to complete the construction of the wooden house as soon as possible.
David introduced the not-so-big Winter Village to several craftsmen, while explaining his own ideas and some plans: for example, these two wooden houses are only temporary residences, and the priority will be to build completely personal residences for all craftsmen and their families. As for the construction of Winter Town, we will wait until everyone adapts to the life here.
During the conversation, Fording “transported” more craftsmen, and then David took many craftsmen to the canteen, and Jonah prepared a hearty dinner for everyone, and asked these craftsmen what they needed. The
small notebook was opened again, and it kept recording according to the requirements put forward by the craftsmen-because they only brought their personal belongings to move, the craftsmen needed to buy various tools to start work.
In addition, the craftsmen hardly mentioned their personal needs. They felt that having a place to live and being able to eat was enough for the time being.
“I have written it down, and I will solve these problems for you as soon as possible.”
After he chatted with the craftsmen for a meal and sent them to the big wooden house to rest and leave, David found that Leonard had come.
David looked carefully and found that Leonard had brought his friends over. One of them was a tall and thin man with a bright smile on his face, circling around Fording, completely ignoring the women beside him, including Laura.
Instead, one of the blonde women sat with Laura and the others, watching the tall and thin man who seemed very excited and whispering something. At the same time, there was an Indian and a thin Jewish man standing next to them, and they seemed to be talking about something… Well, the Indian didn’t say anything, just gestured.
David looked around and saw that the original main characters of The Big Bang Theory were all here: the tall and thin theoretical physicist Sheldon Cooper, the blonde waitress who was also a failed actor Penny, the Indian astrophysicist Rajesh Kuthapally and the Jewish engineer Howard Wolowitz.
“Hello, Leonard!”
“Hi, David.” Leonard turned his head and greeted David warmly. He was very proud to bring his friends to visit this magical place, and he finally met the legendary Tirion Fording: “Thank you for letting me bring my friends here.”
“You’re welcome. It seems that your friends… like it very much here.” After taking a look, he immediately retracted his gaze and ignored Fording’s helpless eyes: “Introduce your friends to me!”
“Oh, of course, this is Penny!”
As soon as Leonard’s words came out, the blonde girl named Penny stood in front of David and quickly fixed her hair: “Hi~ I’m Penny, are you the village chief here? It’s completely different from what I imagined!”
Looking at the enthusiastic Penny, David felt that Eva, Peggy, Sharon, Laura, Leonard, Howard and Rajesh’s eyes were instantly focused on him.
