Chapter 10: Guests
Alan has been a slave in this other world for three weeks.
Now he is able to pick the cat's fruit steadily every day, and the food has become abundant.
The rest of the fruit is tied with a rope to make the fruit of a dried cat, and the sugar content of the fruit will increase when it is dried, and the preservation will also be improved.
These are all dry rations that Eren can easily carry with him when he escapes.
A lot of salon grass was collected, too, and the problem of muscle soreness was solved in the future.
However, he didn't make any progress on his plan to escape from Wild Turtle Blackheart.
Although Alan is in a hurry, he knows that if he is too anxious, he will only mess up everything, so he is ready to make a very good plan and find the right time to talk about it.
Later, when Alan fell asleep because of a cold, although the wild turtle showed a disgusted expression, he rarely did not whip him. Although Alan thinks he is a terrible guy, he is also a gentle guy.
Is it gentle?
No.
"Alan! Where's Alan? ”
At the door of the main house, the wild turtle called out loudly to Alan.
Alan quickly got up from the grass bed, put on his leather shoes, and ran quickly towards the main house.
"Humph! Guests are coming, Delta is going to buy something, you go to prepare tea! ”
The wild turtle stood at the door and coldly instructed Allen.
At this time, on a chair in the main room, a man in black fine clothes was sitting, looking curiously at the slave in front of the wild tortoise.
"Haha, hurry up!"
Alan shrunk his head and quickly trotted to the kitchen, he had seen Damei pour tea, so there should be no problem.
After washing his hands with the water from the bucket, Alan scooped some water from the bucket and poured it into the kettle, started the stove and started cooking.
"Is two cups of tea enough?"
Alan took out the tea leaves from the shelf, although he had never drunk the tea here, but this dark red tea should be black tea or something, smelled it, it was quite fragrant.
Alan didn't know the amount, so he casually pinched it twice and put it in the teapot.
After the water boiled, Allen put the teapot from the stove to the wooden board with gloves, then took out two of the finest ceramic cups that Delta had called and placed them in the tray and poured the tea from the teapot.
Then they scooped a spoonful of water with a wooden spoon and added it to the kettle, so that if they drank the second glass, it would not be so hot.
Finally, I took the fruit of the cat that I picked fresh today, carefully placed it on it, and then walked towards the main house with a tray in my heart, with a little anticipation in my heart.
"I'm sorry, but I've got tea for you."
"Get in."
With the permission of the wild turtle, Alan cautiously walked into the main house, came to the guests who looked noble, put the tray on the table, and silently handed over the teacup with both hands.
"Oh, the fruit of the cat?"
The guest took the tea, looked at the contents of the tray, and smiled.
"Then please slow down, I'll go down first."
Alan lowered his head, spoke, and then took three steps back and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute."
The guest suddenly looked at Alan and waved his hand to signal him to stop, Ellen's nervous body froze, could it be that his movements were not seen to be the etiquette of this world?
"Is there anything rude?"
Listening to the arrogant tone of the wild turtle and Ichi, with a slight hint of respect, Allen's body began to tremble, and he looked up at the guest's gaze uneasily, but he didn't expect to meet a pair of appreciative eyes.
"No, this man looks like he's been well disciplined, did he work in a nobleman's mansion before?"
The guest pointed at Allen and looked at the tortoise.
Alan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that he was not in trouble, but his body still did not dare to move, and quietly listened to the wild turtle's answer.
"No, this man is a farmer's child, and because he can't pay the annual tribute, I took him in."
! It turns out that I was betrayed! Alan listened to the turtle's answer, and his heart was amazed.
"Really? Haha, but his education is very good, Wild Turtle. The guest took a sip of tea, smiled and looked at the wild turtle and said.
"By the way, as you know, the Pavilion is mobilizing manpower, and this person will belong to the Lord."
As he spoke, the guest stared at him and asked, "How is it, wild turtle, I will pay, can you sell it to me?" ”
"Of course you can, but I don't know if it can come in handy, this guy is very prostrate, he often catches colds, and he is often recuperating in the past few days." The wild turtle glanced at Alan and replied respectfully.
Allen's initial surprise turned into unease, and he kept cursing the wild turtle in his heart, and finally felt that he was leaving this place, how could he reveal his old truth.
"It's okay, how about five big copper coins?" The guest smiled, looked at it, and took a sip of tea.
What are you kidding, you can at least double me even if it's dollars! Alan complained in his heart.
"But he's very weak." The wild turtle said worriedly.
"That being said, it's really good to be able to make tea and pick the cat's fruit, but it's also Mr. Baron's person, so let's give you eight big copper coins."
Without waiting for the turtle to reply, the guest man took out the leather bag from his bosom and took out eight dim green coins.
Alan stared at the coin, which looked like a one-dollar coin, but it was a little bigger than it, a little thicker, and looked irregular, which was really incomparable to modern coinage technology.
"Thank you~"
The wild turtle respectfully accepted the eight large copper coins, and no longer had any objections to the man's words.
They don't have objections, but Allen has objections in his heart! Eight copper coins, eight dollars? Sold for eight bucks yourself? Working in a supermarket for an hour is more than that. No, big copper coins, there should also be small copper coins or ordinary copper coins, so how much money was sold for themselves?
Alan suddenly remembered what Jack said before, Bangalore in place of horses seems to be ten big copper coins, and he turned out to be a brute below ........., Allen's eyes couldn't help but get wet, I don't know if I was happy or what.
Alan nervously told the tortoise that he needed a change of underwear and a bunch of dried cat fruits tied to a rope, and then he needed a bag or bag to hold the salon grass.
In front of the guests, the wild turtle directly prepared a burden for Allen, which looked like a simple bag spliced together by several pieces of cloth, although he really wanted a backpack of that kind, but obviously there was no one here.
"Meow~"
"Black, I've been sold, and I'm going to the Baron's house. Well, it's okay if you want to follow me, but please keep your distance. ”
Alan said goodbye to Hei, but it didn't seem to understand his own words, so he probably stayed near home.
But Jack should take care of it, so Alan put his mind at ease.
In the end, Alan wanted to say goodbye to Jack and Delta, but the guest said that he was leaving soon, so he could only dismiss this idea.
He respectfully asked for the guest's name, and he said his name was Gilbert.
Alan looked at Gilbert carefully, a slightly thin middle-aged man with tea hair, not ugly or outstanding, but his nose looked pointed.
Although Gilbert was not a knight and a commoner, his status was clearly higher than that of the Wild Tortoise. Alan speculated that the servants who worked in the baron's house generally had a higher status than the average commoner.
"Let's go, by the way, the tortoise, and I'll leave that matter to you."
"No problem."
After Gilbert finished talking to the tortoise, he walked out with Allen.
"Master, what did you entrust the wild tortoise?"
Alan asked curiously, it still takes effort to gather intelligence.
"If you don't know, that's a good thing."
