Chapter 61: Steady Rise (7)
As soon as the New Year passed, the city lord Xi took up his post again.
It is worth mentioning that many craftsmen were recruited, and the construction process of the tavern was cut in half.
The wood used in the tavern is Huoyun wood, a special product of the city, and the stone is also a pebble that is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is important to ensure that the tavern can withstand the wind and cold in winter and be cool and comfortable in summer.
The city's main rivers have long since dried up, and only a few small streams can draw water, so the city's water source is precious.
However, since the snow falls in winter, many people have hoarded clean snow and waited for it to turn into ice water and store it.
Some clever people, taking advantage of the busy work of craftsmen, set up small stalls around the area, selling a cup of hot tea and some snacks.
In the past, there was no work, and everyone was reluctant to spend.
At present, the lord of the city hires everyone to work, and he has the salary in his pocket, and when he is tired from work, he has the luxury of buying a cup of hot tea.
After coming and going, the craftsman saved some small money, and waited for the city lord's tavern to open, and bought a few more copies of spiritual meat to improve the junior level of the family.
The lockdown is in full swing, and even if there is no craftsmanship, everyone is diligent and busy.
There are even many people who have been locked down in the city, and they have asked people to go to the county, prefecture, Mocheng and other places to find their relatives who are wandering outside.
Now the city lord recruits a large number of city guards, craftsmen, cooks, craftsmen, and tavern work, and the remuneration is not low, and the city guards can also enter the Ling Family Yanwu Hall to practice the advanced exercises of the Yellow Rank and various body martial arts.
If the lockdown monk who has no background strength is not for the experience, it is better to come home than to wander outside.
Then, the middle of the first month passed.
Ling Xi found that many wanderers had returned home, their faces were frosty, and their faces were unruly to hide their inner worries, and there was a little expectation in their eyes while they were apprehensive.
Maybe the monks who refine qi and build a foundation can swagger through the city with their heads held high in the closed city.
But when they arrived in the county and state, they grabbed a lot of qi refining and building foundations, and ordinary ones could no longer be ordinary.
Many wanderers suffered a lot outside, and when they heard that there was an errand at home, they rushed home overnight with the attitude of giving it a try.
When they entered the city, they were in a trance.
The hometown in my memory has long changed.
The towering city walls are no longer dilapidated, the potholed ground has long been paved and repaired, there are no low-level demon beasts around the city, the city guards are patrolling with war pets, and there is a beast taming field not far away.
This...... Is it really a lockdown?
...... Isn't the city guard walking in front of him the stinky boy from the house next door?
I haven't seen you for a few years, but I look pretty decent when I wear armor...... Hey, at least it's better than he's been out for a few years.
If he had never left home......
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the bulletin board near the city gate.
Big recruitment, there are a lot of errands below. When I saw that the city guards had a lot of benefits in addition to the 3 amethyst smelters a year, they didn't even go home, and went directly to the city lord's mansion!
Such a good thing cannot be missed!!
You must know that the kid next door was much inferior to him at the beginning, and if he entered the city guard, he would definitely be even more powerful!
……
Ling Xi looked at the many monks who suddenly appeared, and he already thought about it in his heart.
Most of the wanderers who went out were stronger than the people who stayed in the city, and there were even a few foundation-building monks.
The members of the city guard had all suffered with her before, and they never complained about the chores in the city, and they didn't complain when they went out to hunt monsters every night, and they also obeyed the command when they went up the mountain to practice, and they never left their posts without permission.
Now that these monks are wandering around, she doesn't know what their character is.
