The Defeated Dragon

“Mrs. Abby, Little Lily and I are going to town to see a funny play, will you come with us?” Irene moved the large pieces of meat in the basket outside the castle to dry.

Ji Sen ate a large chunk of meat yesterday. Not only was it okay, it also gave birth to dragons and live tigers.

So meat is edible.

“Oh, my God! Why is the master so generous to give you a vacation?” Mrs. Abby's busy tidying up all the seasonings on the stove, "if you like the maid's job, you should stay in the kitchen and do a lot of things every day. ”

“Mr. Carter said that the master had told us that only one steak for lunch was needed, and that our servants could eat beans and bread without much work.” Little Lily is also moving the meat.

More than 500 kilograms of meat, 300 kilograms of shell removed, and more than 200 kilograms of meat.

“Mr. Carter, like the Lord, always tolerates you young servants who do not work with heart, which is not the kind of housekeeper who deserves. When I was younger, I was busy all day in the kitchen and never had a moment to spare, and that's how the kitchen maid should work. ”

“cough cough. ”

Carter's cough came from the door, and he came over sometime: “Although I can understand Mrs Abby's seriousness in your work, don't keep your body tight and hang out with the young people in town. It's rare for a team to come. ”

“Sorry, Mr. Carter, I didn't mean to offend you.” Mrs. Abby felt a little embarrassed. She just said something bad behind her back and got caught.

“It doesn't matter, in fact you said I was merciful and I took it as a compliment to me. Go, with Irene and Little Lily, and go see the town's funny plays, and the clowns, they think I'm gonna laugh. ”

“I can't do this. I have to cook lunch for the master. ”

“Then come back before 11: 00. It's 9: 00 and you have two hours to go shopping. ”

“I…”

Without Mrs. Abby's refusal, Carter interrupted her: “Just think of it as a job assignment I gave you and have a good time for two hours. ”

“Hello, Mr. Carter.” Irene was happy to hold Abby's arm, "Come on, Mrs. Abby, I can't wait to see the clown. ”

Little Lily lifted Abby's other arm: "Yes, yes, let's go! ”

Mrs. Abby had to push halfway out: “I don't want to go shopping, but I'd better watch you two, to prevent you from going crazy, not knowing to come back to work... Also, wait a minute, I'm going to change clothes, I can't go out dressed like this, there will be a loss of decency in the castle. ”

Carter looked at a big, small mess and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

The castle in this town is a little busier than working at the Count's other courtyard castle, but life is livelier. The young man's dynamism made him feel unknown, as if he were younger than last year.

Hear footsteps.

And he turns his head, and it's Mrs. Morson: "Maxie, have they gone shopping in town? ”

“Yes, and Tom and Thomas and them, went together. Mr. Carter, aren't you coming with us? ”

“Mrs. Abby and Irene and Lily Jr. are getting changed. I think you should go with them as they go to town to see a funny play later. As for the castle, I stayed to serve the master, who, you know, even Thomas left, always had a butler to serve him if he wanted to drink water. ”

“Then I'll stay too, if there's anything you can call me. ”

“Are you sure you don't want to get into the fun? ”

“When you're old enough to hide in the heat, how can you want to get it together? ”

“Don't say that, Mrs. Morson, I think the younger I am.” Carter got his chest up and made himself look spiritual.

“Yes, young Carter. ”

……

“Annie, have you sold half of the tomatoes?” John Flanner walked to his stall.

The stalls are on the southwest side of the town, which has been cleared of a large flat spot, and the merchants who come to the town are arranged here to buy, sell and trade.

There are also several wooden toilets outside.

The patrol and the town clerk screamed over and over again: "The Lord has decreed that all persons shall not urinate anywhere, and the violators shall be fined and flogged! To go to the toilet, follow the arrows and go to the outside toilet. Circle down, arrow up (") is the male toilet sign, circle up, cross down (") is the female toilet sign, don't get me wrong! ”

John was used to the directive.

He hasn't pooped in the streets in a long time, and he's got buckets of shit at home, and all the poop he pulls out is stored. Once fattened, it is used directly to compost the tomato fields - this is the Lord's magic of the fields, and farmers who use this magic can reap two or three percent more than before!

Prior to that, officials from small towns organized the purchase of manure.

It is no longer available. Households keep excreta and grow their own farmland. After the harvest, the benevolent, generous and noble lords, instead of the former tax knights, were reluctant to take away all the harvests of the serfs.

Since the Lord's arrival, John has felt that things have turned upside down, not just for himself, but for the neighbors around him.

Of course, he's the luckiest one.

Because Lord Lord gave him a reward for nurturing a tomato worm because of the tomatoes he cared for!

“John, aren't you going to build a flat today?” Annie asks curiously about her husband, who now has very little farming to do, who works in a building team, paying a bronze plate a day.

“The building team is on vacation, no one wants to work today, they are all here... business district.” John pointed not far away, "see, that's Wenger, and he was shopping with his son. ”

“Well, let's go see the farce. I'm out of tomatoes. I'm going to see the farce. I haven't seen it in a while. ”

John didn't go, but he said, "By the way, Annie, when I came over there, I saw someone selling kittens, and I wanted to buy one. You know, there's food in the house now, rats are starting to grow up, these filthy thieves, they're always stealing our food! ”

“Really, someone sells kittens, then wait here for me, I sell tomatoes, we go buy kittens together, have to choose the kitten that catches mice best. ”

In a moment of hesitation, John said, “Actually, I want to buy a pony, and I want little Jack to learn to ride as a child, so that he can join the Lord's knighthood sooner. ”

“Oh, my God, John, do you know how much a pony costs! ”

“Fifty silver coins, but Annie, that's a pony!” John hopes to explain, "missed this opportunity, wondering when we'll have a horse. I want to grow tomatoes for the rest of my lord's life, but little Jack doesn't like them, he wants to be a knight of obedience. ”

“But John, you need to understand that we pay for 50 silver coins, but the ponies need to eat a lot of food every day, and a horse has to eat at least a few people's food, can we afford it? ”

“I can!”

John's eyes firmly said, "Tomato fields at home are the best and always provide us with a steady income. I can also work. I asked the manager of the building team, who is Lord Isaiah's assistant. He told me that there would be more and more work in the small towns, and that the lords were ambitious and wanted to revitalize the towns. As long as I can keep working, we can afford a pony! ”

“Are you serious, John? ”

“Of course, believe me, Annie. ”

Annie looked at her husband's firm eyes and ultimately didn't have the heart to refuse: "Okay, but you have to promise me we won't be dragged down by the ponies, right? ”

“I promise! ”
