"Who can bake bread? The Church of Truth needs a baker! 50 kopecks a day or a pound of bread! Male or female! ”

"Who will work as a carpenter? The Church of Truth is hiring! 50 kopecks a day! ”

At 1 p.m., with the communication and Dino's publicity, news of the Church of Truth recruiting people quickly spread through the streets, and countless refugees flocked to the city, scrambling to get a job.

This opportunity is too rare, during the war, the most valuable thing is manpower, especially after the influx of 20 million refugees into the Siberian Plain, the supply exceeds the demand, the price of manpower has fallen again and again, but the price of food has soared.

According to the latest news, today the price of a pound of black bread has risen by another 10 kopecks, becoming 60 kopecks.

The kingdom did begin to provide relief, but the food they distributed was not enough to fill their stomachs, and people still had to tighten their belts and soothe their hungry bellies with cold water, and if there was a lucrative job, even if it was a meagre 10 kopecks a day, countless people would apply.

"Don't rob! Don't rob! ”

Standing on a high platform made of two wooden boxes, the communication was completely surrounded by refugees, and he looked down at the refugees who were trying to stretch out their arms, his eyes full of nervousness and anticipation, and as he stabilized his body, he shouted: "There are plenty of places!" Everybody line up! Don't squeeze! Don't squeeze! Don't pull my pants!

！ ”

The situation on the communication side is not not critical, Dino's side is not much better, the place where he is standing is also surrounded by the flow of refugees, in order to solve his own crisis, he is very clever to shout: "I only have 50 places on my side, toaster!" Just know how to bake bread! If you don't know how to toast, don't come! Everyone else went to the lad next door! There are a lot of places under his hands! ”

After a brief veil of provocation, many refugees rushed to the source, which became furious and began to greet Dino's ancestors with gratitude.

The situation was chaotic for a while, but fortunately, the communication and Dino moved quickly, and kept calling names, so that the refugees who were named could line up and go to the church to find Christopher to get the number plate, and then gather in the open space outside the city.

The 50 bakers were found in the blink of an eye, and Dino led a group of housewives into the church, and while sorting out the crumpled clothes, he wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and found Mavi: "Father, I just remembered that although we have wheat flour and human hands, we don't have a baking oven!" ”

There are many bakeries in Tyumen, and as a staple of daily consumption, bakeries are the most common, there are one or two on every street, but the problem is that these bakeries are run by private individuals or nobles, and they do not lend their ovens to the Church of Truth, even if they rent them.

In many villages, if a peasant wants to bake bread, he must go to the mill designated by the lord and pay a fee to use it, and the conscientious lord will lend the oven to the villagers for free, but that is very rare.

The price of bread in Tyumen has skyrocketed, almost forming a monopoly, and if you want to bake bread, you have to get the consent of the nobles or the store manager, but who will rent out the stove?

Even if someone will rent, there is a lot of money to pay.

"As for the stove, I have a solution." Katerina mused: "I know a duke, his name is Hawk Kripivoff, and his territory is east of Tyumen City. ”

"Hawke? The Duke of Cabbage? Dino was surprised: "Your Highness, do you know him?" ”

"Well, he's my mother's cousin, he doesn't have any big ambitions, he never asks about politics, he likes to stay at home, we can go to him for help."

Ma Wei was puzzled: "Why do you call him Duke Cabbage?" ”

"Because..."Katerina wanted to speak and stopped: "He loves to eat cabbage the most, three times a day, eat it all at once, and once absurdly asked the farmers in the territory to pull out all the wheat seedlings and plant cabbage, my father scolded him fiercely when he found out, and then... He started growing his own. ”

People who lived near the city of Tyumen had more or less heard of this duke of cabbage, and when the other nobles were busy with extortion and exploitation of serfs, he was busy planting cabbage, and when the front line was critical and the war was unfavorable, he was still busy planting cabbage, as if cabbage was his god.

Without cabbage, the sky would fall.

If it weren't for the need, I'm afraid Katerina wouldn't have remembered that she had such a relative.

Not only Katerina, but also King Paul I and other nobles forgot about Hawk Kripikov, who had no sense of existence.

Hawk Kripivoff's territory was not far from Tyumen, and Mavi immediately decided to go and meet the Duke of Cabbage in person, in addition to borrowing a baking oven from him...

I also want to see if his family has any surplus food.

Leaving Edward and Incoming to stay and continue to recruit craftsmen, Mavi took Yunia with him and set out on the road to Tobol Village with Dino and Katerina.

A cold wind blew outside the city, pine trees and farmland flashed from both sides of the road, steam trains rushed in the distance, gray smoke filled the sky, and the warm sun hung high, as if the war that had taken place in the morning was just an illusion.

At 3 p.m., the carriage arrived in the village of Tobol, the heart of the Great Siberian Plain, peaceful and quiet, untrampled by war, and under a clear blue sky, the snow-capped mountains in the distance were clearly visible.

"It's like a paradise." Dino sighed.

The people living in Tobol village have round cheeks and red cheeks, which are not unlike the civilians who have been exploited and oppressed in other territories, and they look healthy and energetic, and they can walk much faster.

Looking at the blue manor perched on the hillside in the distance, Katerina seemed to remember some not-so-good memories, and sat upright with a straight face, not wanting to say a word.

Passing through the village, the carriage came to the gate of the Blue Manor, and as soon as he got out of the car, Mavi saw a man with a hoe and a straw hat in the field opposite the manor staring at them.

The other party looked at them carefully for a long time, and when he saw Katerina, he frowned and thought hard, and suddenly his eyes lit up, waved his arms, and ran quickly.

Waiting for the other party to get closer, Katerina saw the man's appearance clearly, her lips immediately pursed, and she squeezed out an ugly smile: "Hawk... Uncle. ”

"Katerina! Sure enough, it's you! The middle-aged man, who had dark cheeks and was dressed like any other farmer, said excitedly, "You've grown so big!" How many years have we not seen each other? 10 years or 15 years? ”

"17 years." Katerina tugged at the corners of her mouth: "The last time we met, I was only 6 years old. ”

"Time flies!"

Duke Hawke sighed at the passage of time, and at the same time warmly invited Ma Wei and the others to enter, he pushed open the unlocked iron door of the manor, put the hoe out of the door, shook the black mud on his feet, hummed a little tune, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Rugin! Rugin! ”

Lu Jin, the housekeeper with a vegetable-looking face, held on to the handle, walked down from the upstairs tremblingly, and said weakly: "Old... What do you command, sir? ”

"My niece is here, bring my latest invention of cabbage tea, and let them taste it!"

"Huh?!" Lu Jin's legs were weak, and he wanted to cry without tears: "Master, there is black tea at home..."

"Less nonsense! You all say that cabbage tea is delicious and nutritious, such a delicious thing, you must ask Katerina and them to taste it! ”

"But... But that thing has diarrhea..."Lu Jin's face was extremely ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly the size of a toad alive, "The maids in the house are all prostrate... The only one who can walk normally is you, sir..."

"What's wrong with diarrhea?" Duke Hawke glared at him: "It just so happens that I took it to the field to fertilize, and besides, diarrhea is good for health, doctors say so!" ”

"That's quacks!
