Chapter 75: The ugliest goblin ever
Beyond the vast forest to the west, and then far to the west, there is a huge forest, where the goblins have been nurtured for an unknown number of years.
For more than 300 years, few goblins have lived in the dangerous forest, and most of them have moved to the outer edge of the forest, then built farms on the edge of the forest, and transplanted fruit trees from the forest to create orchards.
It's grape harvest season, and many merchants from nearby towns come to the goblins' vineyards to buy fresh grapes. Merchants further afield would come to buy raisins at a later date.
Of course, the goblins here are most lucrative in their wines.
However, ordinary merchants can only buy some goblin wines from the farm and inferior products from the wineries affiliated to the farm, and the good wine is "special" by the military.
"The wine in our distillery has to go around and around to get it. A wrinkled, bald goblin took a bottle and poured it into the glass in front of him.
"Small children can't drink. ”
So Charles had to drink water.
"Old squad leader, you can drink some too. Then he poured half a cup into the cup in front of Nicholas II.
Then he stuffed the bottle and, with a pair of crutches, took the wine that Nicholas II had given him behind the counter and hid it.
"That's the habit of old potatoes, don't worry about it. Nicholas II said to Charles.
You don't care about a demon king, what else do I care about? Charles thought.
Nicholas II continued: "Old potatoes were raised on this Lafite farm, and when they first entered the service, they were my soldiers. After losing a leg in an operation, he retired and returned. ”
The old potato, who had lost his left leg and half of his left ear, came back, and he was followed by two chubby goblin aunts, who held a large tray in their hands, and in the tray were three sets of meat, a vegetarian soup, and coarse grain steamed buns in clay bowls.
The aunts put their food on the table, saluted Nicholas II, and ran away. They are just cooks in the canteen of Lafite's farm, not like the old potatoes who have carried knives with the demon king.
The set meal on the table is simple, a bowl of steamed plum steamed with the meat of an unknown animal and a sour plum, a bowl of boiled wild vegetables, and a bowl of wild vegetable soup with egg drops. The staple food is steamed buns made of coarse grains.
Nicholas II broke the coarse grain steamed buns into pieces and put them in a bowl, and then scooped a few spoonfuls of the gravy of the plum steamed pork into a spoon and ate them together. As he ate, he asked the old potato, "Is there anything new on the farm lately?"
The old potato said "hehe" twice, and then his eyebrows fluttered and he said endlessly: "The latest excitement is that our brother A's ugly daughter can actually get married, and he even got the dowry back." ”
"Wo Di obediently, that thing is a divine sword, it is said that it was still given by someone with royal blood, which made Brother A and his wife stunned for a long time. ”
"At that time, a lot of people around came to see the excitement. ”
"That day, our field manager and Brother A together circled an open space outside and held a 'wine tasting and sword appreciation party'. Customers who bought wine from our farm could only go to see the sword, and if they bought more than one barrel at a time, they could touch the sword. ”
"Those who came to see the excitement had to scold our field manager for having no conscience, and at the same time obediently pay for it. Anyway, all the wines we haven't sold this year have been sold. ”
"Then people from Abyss City came, and the old guys from the Temple and the Royal Academy came. But if they want to see the sword, they have to buy wine. That day, the old bamboo pole of the former mage team scolded the field leader for more than half an hour, but in the end, he still had to pay obediently. ”
"Finally, someone from the gendarmerie also came to investigate whether Brother A was a liar. The old steamed bun who led the team said that only the blind person would fall in love with his ugly monster, but Brother A beat the old steamed bun all over the ground to find teeth. A few of our old brothers also went up and took the opportunity to kick twice, who made his mouth still stink so much after decades. ”
Charles, who was about to eat steamed buns, was stunned for a long time, and he finally knew why Nicholas II said that he would bring him to the demons to buy gifts after the incident in Weilong Mountain, but he teleported to this farm.
It turns out that this is the hometown of that goblin A......
Old Tudou continued: "In the end, the girl in the sword came out to prove that when the man gave the sword, he clearly said that the sword was given to Brother A's daughter, and the man also said that Brother A's daughter was beautiful. ”
"It wasn't until a few days ago that all the wine on the farm was sold, the grapes in the field should be harvested, and Brother A's vacation was over, and the matter came to an end. ”
Then he noticed that Charles was motionless there, and asked, "What's the matter, young man, this dish is not to your liking?"
Charles shook his head, and then continued to learn from Nicholas II to eat steamed buns.
The plum steamed pork here is very delicious, and when I ate it, I realized that there was a little beet cube at the bottom of the bowl, and the sweet and sour taste was very appetizing. The meat is also very soft, probably softened by the juice of the plums, and it melts in your mouth.
Most of the meat and vegetables in the farm canteen are steamed, and the meat and spices are served in small bowls, and some are placed on a huge steamer with several layers.
However, because it was the arrival of the Demon King, the steamer was a small bowl, and Charles did have a large bowl in front of them.
"Boom......"
The bell rings, the signal to eat.
The goblins who were harvesting grapes on the farm came to the cafeteria for lunch in twos and threes.
Old Potato had finished his lunch as he spoke, and now he was sitting behind the counter handing out tickets to the goblins.
The goblins who had come to dinner took out something from their pockets that stunned Charles - a card made of cardboard, and they handed the card to Old Potato, who drew it with charcoal and gave it to each other after drawing it with charcoal.
Then the goblins took their meal tickets to the cafeteria window to eat, and each of them had one meat, one vegetarian, one soup and one steamed bun, but there was no egg flower in their soup.
Soon after, some humans, demons, tiger uncles, and werewolf uncles also came here to eat, and they were merchants who came to purchase. However, they don't have a meal card, and they have to pay cash for their meals.
At this moment, a young goblin woman in her thirties walked up to Charles with a bowl.
The young goblin woman was about the size of Charles, wearing a linen overalls and shoulder-length blond hair under her hat. Her green ears were pointed and long, almost catching up with Elizabeth, and her nose was pointed. The fat in front of her is proportionally at the level of Annapurna Peak, and her belly is almost flush with the crest. Her hands and feet appear to be stout, and her calloused hands tell that she is a working person.
In the eyes of the goblins, she is a beautiful young woman with peerless beauty, because along the way, many male goblins are peeking at her for various reasons.
"Why didn't His Majesty the Demon King tell me when he came. The young goblin woman said to Nicholas II, "I can't drink alcohol during working hours, so I'll toast the demon king with a bowl of soup instead of wine." ”
Nicholas II seemed to be familiar with her, and after raising the bowl of soup and touching one with her, the two of them dried up with the soup and vegetables.
After putting down the bowl, Nicholas II asked her: "Camellias, what is your harvest like this year?"
"No, I can't. The young woman named Camellia sighed and said, "In the summer, the demonic beasts that came out of the woods caused a lot of livestock and crops, and the young men also injured several of them. One of them is almost crippled and can only do light work now. This year's harvest has been greatly affected. ”
Charles gave the young woman a thumbs up.
When leaders conduct public inspections, it is natural to report on the positive side of the farm.
When leaders come to visit privately, it is natural to report as many difficulties as there are, and to create difficulties when there are no difficulties. In this way, we can take advantage of the rare opportunity to ask for policies and resources from the leaders.
Nicholas II listened to Camellia's report with a solemn expression throughout the whole process, and then affirmed the spirit of Lafite Farm under the leadership of the field manager Camellia, who was not afraid of difficulties, faced difficulties, and forged ahead.
And then...... Gone!
Although Camellia has been prepared for a long time, it is inevitable to be a little disappointed.
Just kidding, Nicholas II is a demon king, his words and deeds represent the direction of the country's policy, how dare he give benefits to a certain unit. If he dares to open an opening for Lafite Farm today, tomorrow Park Farm and Mouton Farm will dare to use Lafite Farm as an example to ask the local government for benefits. Then there are farms all over the country that follow suit, and in the end they are messed up.
At this time, there was a burst of children's commotion outside the cafeteria.
Charles and the others were sitting at the table by the window, and from the dining table, they could see a group of little goblins with school bags running towards the cafeteria.
Then Charles saw a lonely figure in the crowd.
A little six-year-old goblin girl dressed in a coarse cloth school uniform and carrying a small school bag like the other children walked alone on the road, and there was no little goblin within a few meters of her.
Although the portrait that Goblin A showed Charles to them that day was drawn two or three years ago, her appearance is so recognizable. She is the only one in the goblin group whose nose and ears are not pointed and long, but only slightly sharper than a human girl. If it weren't for the fact that her skin was green, she wouldn't have been a goblin.
Three little goblin boys walking in front of her suddenly stopped, then turned to her and shouted, "Ugly monsters, ugly monsters, ugly monsters who want to eat swan meat!"
The little girl stopped, and then she untied the schoolbag on her back and held it in her hand, and then rushed at the three boys, smashing them to the ground with the schoolbag and crying for her mother.
That neat and neat hand, with a hint of her father's style.
"Alas......" Camellia sighed, "that kid is a little ...... because he looks like It's a bit unprecedented, so I've been bullied by other kids. ”
"The last time I saw her was three years ago, when her father took her to Abyssal City. "I didn't think she was so good now." ”
"I got into fights with people every day at school. Camellia sighed again and said, "The appearance of Lao A and the gourd is the top in a hundred miles, but I didn't expect their daughter to be positive and negative." ”
Charles didn't want to comment on the issue of racial aesthetic differences.
