Chapter 5: A Day at Work

However, before going back, Alan decided to pick some fruit from the tree before going back, as for whether it was because he wanted to be lazy or for other reasons, it was unclear.

Alan, who was walking forward while looking at his feet, noticed that the fruit of several trees in front of him had fallen, and although it was spring in the current season, there were also trees that grew fruits.

Picking one up, Alan observed, it looked like a nut, not too hard, I don't know if I can eat it, he decided to take a few back and ask Jack. Then he continued to search further, only to see a strange thing.

It is shaped like a red pear, about 20 centimeters in size, and there is something like a cat's hand in the front, which looks very infiltrating, especially when you encounter such a thing in another world.

Eren cautiously poked his head with his head, except for looking a little scary and shaking slightly, there was nothing like a man-eating flower that swallowed him with its big mouth open or stretched out its terrifying tentacles to tie him up.

Then Alan tried to poke the part that looked like a ball of flesh, and as he touched his fingers, the hair on it began to slowly fall off the ball.

"It smells good......" Allen, who was sure there was no danger, brought his nose closer, and a sweet smell like an apple entered his nostrils, making people want to eat it.

In the end, Alan picked a cat's hand fruit, picked up a few nuts and a long string of wild berries and went back, this cat's hand fruit he didn't dare to pick too much, in case Jack said it was a poisonous fruit.

"Jack, this is it." Returning to the field, Alan handed the cat's hand fruit to Jack.

"Ah, this is the fruit of a cat, it's delicious."

"Really?"

"Well, it is said that the red fruit part and the hairless cat's hand part can be eaten, so you can give it a try."

"Then let's try the red fruit first." Alan didn't have any resistance to the fruit, and when he bit into the fruit, a crisp sound came, as if he was eating an apple, the difference was that the inside of the fruit was bright red, the taste was like a tomato, it was tender, there was no kernel, and it could all be eaten.

Since Alan only brought one of the cat's fruits, he ate half of it and gave it to Jack, who directly pulled the cat's hand out of it, broke it, and ate it in one bite.

"You can try this too." As he spoke, Jack handed the other cat's hand to Alan.

Alan took the palm with a ball of meat, looking at the section, it looked like a broken almond, there were no bones in it, and when he saw that Jack had put it in his mouth, he took a bite directly on the section with his heart.

"Quack~"

The crisp sound came from Alan's mouth, the texture was crisp, the taste was a bit like cream, but it didn't have that much sweetness, and if you bake it with a little salt, it is a fruit that can be sold at a convenience store, and Alan even had the idea of opening a store here.

"Then I'm going to get to work." Jack interrupts Alan's fantasy and begins to swing his hoe and continue to work.

"Ah, won't you take a break?" Alan turned his head to look around, but he didn't see the figure of the wild turtle, he didn't understand Jack's thoughts, and there was no one to supervise him, so he wouldn't be lazy, why was he so serious.

"If you don't finish halfway, the master will be angry."

"Well, is it a production system?" Alan thought it was calculated on an hourly basis.

.................................................

At this time, the sun is already tilting, and it will be dusk not long after.

"It's almost time to go back, and I'm going to chop wood when I go back." Jack wiped his sweat and looked at Allen.

"I'm sorry, it's not half finished yet....." Alan glanced at the field worriedly, only a third of the way was going on so far, and Jack, who had not been able to rest, had worked at least ten times harder than himself.

"It's okay, although I'll be scolded, I'm used to it."

Eren was tempted to say that he couldn't do his best, but he knew that if he spoke in front of the turtle, he would only get a whip answer, so he decided to keep silent.

Back at the mansion, this time I was chopping wood.

Jack, who wielded a big axe heroically, easily split the firewood.

Looking at Alan again, it seems that it is a little difficult to chop firewood with an axe in his hand.

"Ah, damn it!" Looking at the firewood that was chopped off by himself on the stage, Alan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"Alan, you don't have to work so hard, follow mine." Jack took the axe from his hand, held the firewood in his left hand and pressed it on the table, then struck it lightly with the axe, and then raised the axe so hard that it slashed downward, splitting the firewood at once.

"I see." As Allen, who has never chopped firewood, it is not a matter of course, but with Jack's demonstration, the more firewood is split next to him, and he just needs to be careful not to chop his hands. Alan happily looked at his results, and it seemed that chopping wood was also fun.

"Alan, it's almost okay, you can send the firewood to Delta."

"I see." Alan tied the firewood with a rope and walked forward with his back like Kinjiro Ninomiya, but he wouldn't carry things on his back and not look at the road like he did, it would be too dangerous, even if he had a book in his hand, he had to look at the road first, after all, the alarm bell of his statue was too beneficial.

"Delta, I brought firewood."

"Oh, then put it there."

There was a pile of firewood next to the stove, and Alan directly put down the firewood on his body and piled it on it.

"Alan, I'm chopping vegetables, you help me put the water in and start the fire."

"Uh, yes." Alan, who was about to go back, thought that if he knew that he was asked to work by Delta, he wouldn't be angry even if it was a little later.

While thinking about it, Alan lifted the bucket with both hands and poured water into the pot, then closed the wooden lid, only to look at the stove stuffed with leaves and didn't know how to make a fire.

"How do you light this?"

"Isn't there a flint? Also, put the branches in first. ”

There was also a pile of small white twigs next to the firewood, and Alan was still wondering what it was used for.

Picked up a large pile of branches and stuffed them underneath, and then Alan picked up the flint on the left and lightly hit the branch, and Spark instantly burned the branch.

"I lit it."

"You're putting too much, put less next time."

"Is there oil or something on this branch?" Alan looked at the white branches, as if they had been stained with oil.

"That's a branch of the Flame Star. Even if it doesn't have oil, it burns."

"Oh." Alan looked at the burning branches in surprise, he didn't expect such a tree, it seems that there are many things in this world that are convenient for life.

"If you have time, wash the dishes for me."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I have to go to Jack's."

"Then you can go quickly."

......................................

Alan returns to the yard and sees Jack take hay out of the hut and say it's for Bangalore to eat. Then Alan went to clean up Ma Peng, and that's the end of today's work.

Dinner was served in the kitchen, but the tortoises were not here, and the slaves and masters generally did not sit together.

Dinner was still a hard bread and a bowl of soup with a little egg, and an extra piece of cheese, and the nut-like thing that Alan picked up today was also baked.

Tamei said that it was a fruit that could be eaten after roasting, with a slight taste of sake lees, which in Alan's opinion tasted several grades worse than a cat's fruit. If he had a choice, he would definitely choose the cat's fruit.

The taste of the soup is very subtle, but the cheese is very delicious, but it is not often available, not to mention myself, such a amount, I don't know if the giant Jack can eat enough.

Alan looked at the two of them while eating, neither of them complained at all, and ate silently, so that Alan couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart, if he has the ability in the future, he will definitely abolish this slave contract.

"So, what about after this?" Alan, who returned to the hut after dinner, asked Jack on the side.

"Sleep." Jack finished lying on the hay, closed his eyes and began to rest.

Alan also took off his shoes and lay down, the room was dark, there were no candles, only the sound of each other's breathing, and he summed up the schedule of his first day as a slave.

"Holidays? What is that? ”
