Andrew saw little Peter watching kobolds, slaves drinking coarse cereal porridge and licking their lips from time to time. He squatted in front of little Peter and put his hand around his shoulder and asked with a smile.
"Why haven’t we little knights had dinner yet?"
Little Peter shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted himself carrying a small cloth bag to show that it contained food.
"Then how can you watch the kobold slaves drool at dinner?"
Little Peter replied crisply, "Uncle Andrew, I just want to know what’s cooking in the pot. They eat delicious ducks!" "
Andrew touched little Peter’s head and said seriously, "That’s not delicious. Are you really going to try it?"
After hearing what Andrew said, little Peter became hesitant.
Samira came over and pulled out an apple from her pocket and gave it to little Peter Andrew and little Peter to make an appointment to check his homework early. Then they led the horse back to the village.
It was not until they left the slave camp that people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. The villagers could not feel the strong murderous look of the two men, but they could smell blood on their noses. Whether Andrew was carrying a butcher behind him or Samira was hanging an arrow pot on his back had such a strong smell.
……
After dinner, the kobolds and slaves would get into the shed to rest, and their happy-go-lucky character could be easily satisfied everywhere.
There is a little bit of miscellaneous grains porridge left in the big iron pot. Rita and Natasha are going to scoop out the porridge and scrub the big iron pot well. Even if the work is over.
They talked about what to eat for dinner. Surdak came back for dinner tonight. Natasha wanted to make dinner rich. Little Peter sat eating apples, and he could still eat the semi-elf archer with Surdak in the Apple Village this season.
Old Sheila came to Rita and bent down to pick up a big wooden bowl from the big wooden basin and handed it to Rita.
"Do you want to eat this?" Rita stared at the big wooden bowl in old Sheila’s hand and pointed to the spoon, which was going to cold off the coarse cereals porridge in the iron pot.
Old Sheila doesn’t have any scruples when she talks to Rita. Her eyes stare and she says to Rita.
"Can’t I have a bowl if I don’t eat?"
"I didn’t say that again." Rita muttered something and gave old Sheila a big wooden bowl of miscellaneous grains porridge.
Natasha, who was busy, quickly came over and said to old Sheila, "The porridge is a little cold. Why don’t I warm it up again?"
Old Sheila waved her hand and said, "That’s good!"
Say that finish while the moonlight walked towards the village, go to the bottom of the dead tree outside the village. A sallow and emaciated woman was holding a child in her arms, and two smaller ones were sitting there quietly. Old Sheila walked over with a big wooden bowl and handed it to the woman without talking.
Then a big bowl of miscellaneous grains porridge is enough for a woman and several children to eat.
After thanking the woman, she gave the porridge to three children, and after the three children had eaten enough, they poured the porridge into their stomachs at one breath.
Then he left Wall Village in the moonlight.
It was not until the woman and the children went away that Rita came out and raised her eyebrows and said discontentedly to old Sheila.
"Hey, what do you want?"
Old Sheila walked to the slave camp without looking up with a wooden bowl and casually said, "Can’t you see?"
"But it’s against the rules!" Rita made a stand to old Sheila.
Old Sheila stopped and turned to Rita and asked, "Because I asked you for a bowl of porridge?"
"You will make it difficult for us," Rita said.
Old Sheila looked up into Rita’s eyes and asked her, "How hard can it be?"
Rita argued, "How can we refuse if others learn from you?"
"What should I refuse?" Old Sheila will hand wooden bowl to Rita asks.
Rita said, "Whoever eats more porridge is doomed to eat less. If too many people do this, what do the slaves who dig the river for us eat?"
Old Sheila said discontentedly, "Are they going to be hungry if they eat a little leftover?"? Have you forgotten your hunger day? "
Old Sheila and Rita argued until the candle on the dinner table kept dripping wax oil into the candlestick. Little Peter looked at the candlestick candle and was fascinated. He wanted to pick the flame that kept beating
Natasha sat there and didn’t dare to interrupt. She held out a basket of white bread from the kitchen when the staple food basket on the table was still on.
Dinner is fried steak. The steak is rare and medium-rare.
This kind of meat will lose a lot of juice if it is overcooked, and it will become smaller. Everyone in the village eats the barbecue base well-done.
There was a glass of golden apple wine in front of Surdak. Natasha silently put a piece of white bread on his plate.
Surdak sliced the fried meat in the plate into everyone’s plate and smiled at old Sheila and Rita and said, "Don’t argue about it. It’s a good solution. I’ve discussed it with Uncle Brett these days …"
Chapter 513 Wall Village Meeting
The worst season in the barren land turned out to be June
In Surdak’s memory, June belongs to the season when everything grows and everything thrives.
But for the people in the barren land, the hard life continues before the rainy season comes. Even cassava is more expensive this year than in previous years.
There are nearly 7 thousand people in 19 natural villages in the barren land, half of whom can feed their stomachs, and the remaining half have the ability to go out and make a living, and all of them have left the barren land
Some old people, children and women are left behind, and there is no one to help them. Their families who work outside can’t bring back food or roots, so some of their families will starve.
At this time of last year, some people in Wall Village were going to Oak Ridge to dig wild vegetables to eat.
Great changes have taken place in Woer village this year, and all villagers who are willing to work have earned a little money. Although the wheat produced by themselves is not enough to eat, it is necessary to live a fine life with some chestnut rice, pumpkins and miscellaneous grains. What can we have after a long winter?
Even if someone has eaten all the food, the important people are not lazy and willing to work in the reservoir construction site.
Some venerable old people in Surdak and Luke’s village got together with the old village chief, Aunt Brett, and everyone cooked lemon tea. The room was crowded with people. Luke and several young people in the village crowded into the corner of the living room, and everyone was chewing fried pumpkins while making tea for everyone.
Life is not so hard, and the wheat in the field is not growing badly because of lack of water. The villagers smile with confidence and even become humorous when chatting.
