"Mrs. Abbey, little Lily and I are going to town to watch an antics, will you come along?" said Erin, carrying the large pieces of clams in the basket to dry outside the castle.

Shake Sen ate a large piece of clam meat yesterday, and not only was he fine, but he was also alive.

So the clams are edible.

"Oh my God, why should you be so generous to let you take a holiday? Mrs. Abi was busy arranging the seasonings on the stove, "If you like the job of a maid, you should stay in the kitchen obediently, and there is a lot of work to be done every day." ”

"Mr. Carter said, "The old man has explained that only one fried steak is needed for lunch, and that we servants can eat beans and bread, and it doesn't take much work." "Little Lily is also carrying the clams.

A clam is more than 500 catties, with 300 catties of shell removed, and more than 200 catties of meat.

"Mr. Carter, like the old man, has always indulged you young servants who do not work to your heart, which is not the mercy of a good steward. When I was younger, the kitchen was busy all day long, and I was never idle for a moment, and that was the working attitude that a kitchen maid should have. ”

"Ahem. ”

Carter's cough came from the door, and he didn't know when, he had already come: "Although I can understand Mrs. Abby's seriousness towards your work, don't always tense your body, go to the town with the young people, it's rare for a caravan to arrive." ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Carter, I didn't mean to offend you. Mrs. Abi felt a little embarrassed to say bad things behind her back and was caught.

"It doesn't matter, in fact you say I'm merciful, and I take it as a compliment to me. Go ahead, with Erin and little Lily, and go to see the burlesque in town, and those clowns will laugh when they think of me. ”

"That's not going to work, I've got to make lunch for my lord. ”

"Then come back before eleven o'clock, it's nine o'clock, and you can still go shopping for two hours." ”

"I ......"

Before Mrs. Abbey could refuse, Carter interrupted her: "Just take it as the work assignment I gave you, and have fun for two hours." ”

"Haha, Mr. Carter, you're doing well. Erin happily took Abi's arm, "Let's go, Mrs. Abi, I can't wait to see the clown." ”

Little Lily pulled Abi's other arm: "Yes, yes, let's go!"

Mrs. Abi had no choice but to half-push and half-go out: "I don't want to go shopping, but I'd better watch you two to prevent you from going crazy and not knowing how to come back to work...... Also, wait a minute, I'm going to change my clothes, and if I can't go out in this way, I will lose the dignity of the castle. ”

Carter looked at the big and small ones making a fuss, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Compared to working at the Earl's Annex, the castle in this town is a bit busier at work, but life is more lively. The vigor of the young man made him feel an inexplicable motivation in his body, as if he was younger than last year.

Footsteps are heard.

He turned his head to see that it was Mrs. Mawson: "Maisie, they've gone to town to go shopping?"

"Yes, and Tom and Thomas, they went together. Mr. Carter, aren't you going with you?"

"Mrs. Abi, with Erin and little Lily, are changing their clothes, and will be going to town to see a burlesque later, and I think you should go with them. As for the castle, I stayed to serve the lord, you know, even Thomas was gone, and the lord had to have a manservant to serve him if he wanted to drink. ”

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

"Are you sure you don't want to join in the fun?"

"I'm getting older, and I can't hide from the excitement, how can I want to get up. ”

"Don't say that, Mrs. Mawson, I feel that I am getting younger and younger now. Carter straightened his chest, making himself look more energetic.

"Yes, young Carter. ”

......

"Anne, have you sold more than half of your tomatoes?" said John Flatten, walking to his stall.

The stalls were on the southwest side of the town, and a large flat area had been cleared out of the town, where the caravans that came to the town were arranged, bought, sold, and traded.

There are also several wooden toilets outside.

The patrol and the town's clerk shouted over and over again: "Your lordship, no one is allowed to defecate in the open, violators will be fined and whipped! The circle is down and the arrow is up (♂) is the men's toilet sign, and the circle is on top and the cross is down (♀) is the women's toilet sign, don't get it wrong!"

John was already accustomed to this directive.

He hadn't pooped on the street for a long time, and the house had prepared a dung bucket to store the feces and urine that he pulled out. After the manure is applied, it is directly used to compost the tomato field - this is the farming magic taught by the lord, and the farmers who use this magic to fertilize the fields can harvest two or three percent more than before!

Previously, there were also officials in the town who organized the purchase of manure.

Now that it is no longer collectible, every household keeps the manure and grows their own farmland. After the harvest, the benevolent and generous noble lord only collects taxes according to the proportion, unlike the previous tax knights, who are eager to take away all the income of the serfs.

Since the arrival of the lord, John has felt that not only himself, but also the surrounding neighbors, has changed for the better.

Of course, he was the luckiest one.

Because the lord gave birth to a tomato worm because of the tomato he tended, he rewarded him with a Narda!

"John, aren't you going to work in the house building team today?" Anne asked her husband curiously, there is not much farm work now, and her husband is working in the house building team, and he is paid a copper plate a day.

"The building team is on holiday, no one wants to work today, they are all here...... Downtown. John pointed not far away, "Look, that's Arsene Wenger, and he's shopping with his son." ”

"Well, let's go see the burlesque, I've sold out of tomatoes, I'm going to watch the burlesque too, I haven't seen it in a long time. ”

John didn't leave, but said, "By the way, Anne, when I came over there, I saw someone selling kittens, and I wanted to buy one." You know, now that we have food in our house, there are more rats, these filthy thieves, they always steal our food!"

"Yes, does anyone sell kittens, then you wait for me here first, I sold out of tomatoes, let's go buy kittens together, we must choose a kitten that can catch mice the most." ”

After a moment's hesitation, John said, "Actually, I still want to buy a foal, I want little Jack to learn to ride a horse from an early age, so that he can participate in the lord's knighthood earlier." ”

"Oh my God, John, do you know how much a foal costs!"

"Fifty silver, but Annie, that's a foal!" John explained hopefully, "and I miss this opportunity, and I don't know when we'll have a horse." I wanted to grow tomatoes for my lord for the rest of my life, but little Jack didn't like it, he wanted to be a knight. ”

"But John, you need to understand that we can afford to pay fifty pieces of silver, but the foal needs to eat a lot of food every day, and a horse must eat at least several people's food, can we afford it?"

"I can!"

John said with a firm look in his eyes: "The tomato field at home is the best, and it always brings us a stable income." I can still work, I asked the steward of the house-building team, who was an assistant to Lord Isaiah. He told me that there would be more and more work in the town in the future, and that the lord was ambitious to make the town new. As long as I can continue to work, we can afford to raise foals!"

"Are you serious, John?"

"Of course, trust me, Annie. ”

Anne looked at her husband's determined eyes, and finally couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay then, but you have to promise me that we won't be dragged down by the foal, right?"

"I promise!"
