Chapter 19: Shocked Pompeii (Part 3)



Tiema Tun.

As the time for spring plowing approaches, the work of road repair and manure cleaning is gradually coming to an end, and the entire Tiematoun is beginning to get ready.

Prepare for the upcoming spring plowing.

You know, spring ploughing is very hard work. Farmers, women and even teenagers have to carry hoes and go to the fields to plow.

Loosen the soil and plow the fields.

Then you can plant the seeds and finally harvest in the fall.

Spring ploughing.

It can be said that when building a house, the foundation is constructed. Without a solid foundation, even if the house is built solidly, it will collapse.

This is the most important thing.

Of course, it is also very hard work. Because this world does not have the tradition of oxen for farming, relying on human labor is too hard.

This is of course also the case for the farmers in this world, including those in Pompeii. They don’t have much land, because if they had too much land, they wouldn’t be able to take care of it all.

Michel's house.

Michel's family owns a two-story wooden house. The second floor is the bedroom, where Michel, his wife, and three children live.

The first floor is the kitchen, living room, and two grocery rooms.

As a member of the Iron Horse Clan, although Michel could not become a knight like Magellan's family, he was one of the few wealthy families in the entire village.

Michel got up very early, but even earlier than Michel was Michel's wife, Madame Marceau.

Mrs. Marceau came in carrying a toilet. The toilet had been cleaned, but it still smelled bad. Michel frowned and said, "Put it outside to dry in the sun to get rid of the smell."

"Oh." Madame Marceau had no choice but to carry the toilet out of the house.

"Is breakfast ready?"

Michel asked again.

"It's all ready, just waiting for you and the children to get up and eat. You must eat well and get enough rest in the next few days. You can start loosening the soil after a few days."

Mrs. Marceau said. While she was talking, Mrs. Marceau went to the kitchen and brought up some bread, milk, and fried eggs for breakfast.

Meat is extremely precious. The meat in the territory is provided to the knights and would-be knights. The best food that civilians can enjoy, except for hunters, is milk and eggs.

Michel sat down, took a sip of the milk, nodded and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'You lose half your life after spring plowing.' Before that, we really need to get enough rest. Not only me and the children, you should also help with the hoe, otherwise we won't be able to handle it."

"Yes." Madame Marceau nodded. While the couple was talking, the three children of Michel's family came down. The oldest was fifteen years old and the youngest was twelve years old, all boys.

I can now pick up a hoe and go to the fields.

The three children greeted their parents first, and then sat down to eat breakfast together. After breakfast, Michel planned to take a walk, then catch up on some sleep and get enough rest.

But at this moment, a hurried voice sounded. Michel walked out of the house and saw a middle-aged man riding a donkey quickly approaching.

"Buya, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Michel was a little surprised, then frowned and said, "Could it be that the mayor summoned us village chiefs?"

This middle-aged man is one of the current errand boys at the City Hall, his name is Buya.

Pompeii is a small place, and Michel and Bua are very familiar with each other.

"Haha, you guessed it right. Go quickly. I won't stay here any longer. I still have to notify other villages." Buya grinned, didn't get off the donkey, and continued to walk to the next village.

Michel frowned. The last time he went to the city hall, his task was to repair the roads and clean up the feces. He didn't know what the task was this time.

Michel was still worried about cleaning up the manure, and now it was an important time before spring plowing, so he felt even more uneasy.

Soon, the news spread, and many free people in Tiematun gathered at Michel's house. They were all strong and good at farm work.

These people gathered together for only one purpose, to worry.

"Master Luther, I hope you can behave yourself and not assign us any more tasks."

"Yes, it was too cold in the winter and my father froze to death. This year our family has lost a laborer and we have a lot of land. I'm afraid we will be in trouble. Master Luther, please don't give any more strange orders."

"Why."

The people looked at each other and sighed.

But Michel came back soon. Not only did he come back himself, he also brought back some people, five Bass cows, and a cart.

Michel rode his little donkey with a look of joy on his face.

The people gathered around him, looking at him curiously. They knew that the Bass cattle were raised in the Pompeii ranch. They were a very economical breed of cattle, and their meat was provided for the knights to eat.

These common people can only look at the cows but cannot eat the meat.

A hand-pulled wooden cart with five strange wooden objects on it.

The people suddenly became curious and asked questions at once.

"Captain, what's up with these Bass cattle??? Is the Lord going to build a new ranch in our village?"

"Yes, does the Pompeii family plan to train more knights?"

"Maybe the Lord is merciful and these five Bass cows are for us to eat?"

"You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Bass cattle are very expensive. How can you give them to us to eat?"

"Shut up." Michel frowned and shouted, a little sternly. The people immediately shut up after hearing this. Michel's prestige in the village was still very high.

After suppressing the chaotic settlers, Michel politely asked the people who followed him for help. Then, under the curious eyes of the people, he got the ox and the plow ready.

Finally, Michel personally held the plow and whipped the cow, and gently hit the cow's butt, causing it to moo.

He turned his head and looked at Michel meekly, then walked forward slowly.

As the Bass ox moved forward, the plow immediately took effect, a trace appeared, and the soil loosened up.

The people's mouths suddenly opened wide, as if they could fit a goose egg in. Some people rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

“Can cows loosen the soil and plow the fields?”

“Oh my God, what do I see?”

Michel walked with the cattle for a while and then stopped. He turned around and looked at the villagers. He did not laugh at the villagers for being ignorant, because he was the same at the beginning.

So scared.

Oh my god.

I was scared to death.

Can cows plow fields?

After the shock comes ecstasy.
