7 Trim the horseshoe
Remembering the bread and jam that Mrs. Susan had brought before, she reciprocated by cutting half of the freshly baked cake and delivering it to her neighbors.
The door was opened by Lisa, who had a relationship at the restaurant.
"Oh!" The girl with cute freckles took the basket handed by Bai Su in surprise, lifted the beeswax cloth and looked, "What is this?" Is the white layer on top of cheese? β
Lisa's voice is like an aria, so that one can easily feel her good mood.
"It's cream." Bai Su also replied with a smile, "And sprinkled a little powdered sugar." This is my freshly made fruit cream cake, I hope you enjoy it. β
"Cake? Is it a pie made from eggs? Doesn't look like ...... All in all, thank you for the cake. β
Hearing Lisa say this, Bai Suton felt that he was hovering on the verge of falling off the horse again - Lisa worked in a restaurant in the capital, and she didn't even know about cakes, which only shows that the aborigines of this world have not yet invented cakes!
But Bai Su has become very proficient in how to explain all the strange things on him these days.
The young farmer smiled and said, "Obviously, this is also a specialty of my hometown, you know, I come from the golden town of the Western Continent. β
Lisa happily accepted the specialty, in fact, she hadn't taken her eyes off the beautiful cake since just now.
"Thank you." Lisa blinked, "You're a very good neighbor, and if it weren't for Captain Keos, I think I would have pursued you." β
Bai Su: "......"
After Bai Su delivered the cake, he returned home and saw that the remaining half of the cake was still on the table.
And the two children were lying on the edge of the table and drooling at the cake, and when they saw Bai Su coming back, they meowed at him obediently.
Bai Su's heart suddenly bloomed!
He covered the cake with the wistful gaze of the two childrenβ
"Good little kitten, this is a dessert, it is eaten after meals, let's have lunch first."
He took out the meat pancakes he had fried in the morning from the cupboard and made them into meat sauce mashed potatoes with the potatoes he bought yesterday.
When there is no rice, Bai Su can also accept potatoes as a staple food.
The two children slept after eating noodles in the morning, but at this time, they still looked like they were swept away in the meat sauce mashed potatoes, digging with a spoon and gulping into their mouths.
Bai Su felt that his worries about his future economic situation were not unreasonable.
Should it be said that it is worthy of a tiger? It's so delicious.
Bai Su finished his lunch, brought out the cake, and also cut it into three parts.
"This has to be eaten little by little to be delicious." He was afraid that the two children would finish it in one bite, so he couldn't help but remind.
The two children nodded and took a small bite.
After just one bite, his eyes lit up, but remembering what Bai Su said, he still tried to refrain from eating slowly.
So this afternoon sweetness was stretched for a long time.
After a full meal, Bai Sula put the curtain in the living room, sat on the soft and comfortable sofa with two fat dolls in his arms, and started the first family meeting in another world.
Bai Su was the first to ask: "So, you two are the smuggling orcs who have been caught in the capital recently. β
"Mi ......"
"Don't." White soda interrupted the two little tigers trying to be coquettish, "Speak human words." β
Two children, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the light-blond-haired child suddenly turned back into a little tiger, nestled in Bai Su's arms and rolled around, while the dark-brown-haired child made a serious fat face.
"Brother, we're not smuggled orcs." The child said with a straight face.
Bai Su raised his eyebrows, glanced at the little golden tiger snoring in his arms, and motioned for him to continue.
"Someone put us on the ship......"
The child pinched the corner of Bai Su's clothes and stumbled to speak.
It turned out that the two little tigers didn't know what smuggling was, in their perspective, but suddenly one day, their home was in chaos, their relatives were nowhere to be found, and they were carried on a boat by their father's subordinates, drifted across the ocean, and came to the Boeing town in the Eastern Continent.
My father's subordinates put them in a dilapidated but hidden house (the warehouse of Bai Su Farm) and left alone.
The two children were so hungry that they snuck out of the warehouse, jumped over the mud of the farm to the wooden house, and leaned on the window to see Bai Su eating in the kitchen and collecting rice seeds.
After that, there is the scene where the farmer catches the tiger cub on the spot.
Bai Su: "......"
"It's been a long time, you two don't know anything?" Bai Su helplessly held his forehead, expecting the two tiger cubs who were only a few years old to explain what had happened, and it was difficult for them.
In the narrative just now, the only thing the dark-haired little boy clearly says is that his name is Aaron, and the little golden tiger is his younger brother, Gabi.
Aaron thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "Remember some...... I remember the Dark Forest suddenly became chaotic, with broken trees everywhere and a lot of orcs running out to town. β
"It was a lot of wind, and it was raining all the time, and our food was spoiled, and we didn't have anything to eat."
"Some people quarreled with their fathers, and then their mothers disappeared."
Alun racked his brains to add many details, but Bai Su's face gradually became heavy.
Strong winds, torrential rains, and destruction of food.
Bai Su closed his eyes, his fingers trembling a little - if he guessed correctly, it should be a typhoon.
He remembered that he was at the grocery store yesterday morning, and the grocery store owner also mentioned that last year, the oatmeal town not far to the south was also hit by a hurricane, destroying most of the farmland and reducing crop yields sharply, and it has not slowed down until now.
All this indicates that a world-class food crisis will soon break out here.
In times of peace, the bottom line of people's survival is to have enough to eat, and if this bottom line is broken, then soon peace will no longer be there.
Maybe even the parents and the herd of the two tiger cubs have been ......
Aaron finally sensed that Bai Su's face was wrong, and he carefully shook Bai Su's hand.
Bai Su, who came back to his senses, took Alun into his arms, scratched the child's itchy flesh, and forced him to become a little tiger too.
One person and two cats were playing on the sofa, Bai Su pinched the thick meat pads of the two little tigers, and promised: "Don't worry, my brother's family has a lot of food, and I will definitely raise you to be fat!" β
Bai Su looked at the large pot of rice seeds on the dining table from a distance.
Probably, the meaning of my coming to this world is here.
Β·
In the conference room, two equally tall and handsome centaurs stared at each other in silence.
Finally, the gray-haired centaur was the first to look away.
Like? Maybe.
Keos could not deny that he did have a crush on the sunny and cheerful human youth.
Faria flicked his flaming ponytail happily, and he knew that Keos was tempted.
Many of the Centaur Guards witnessed it that morning, and the young farmer smiled brightly and said to their superior, "I like Centaurs very much, I think you are very handsome".
No centaur can refuse such a hot, almost confessional compliment!
He was even a little jealous of the undisguised affection of the young and handsome farmer.
"Dude." Faria patted Koos on the shoulder and said sourly, "You've always had the good fortune to be jealous of. β
Keos said with a smirk, "Then be careful, don't let jealousy ruin you." β
Keos pierced him mercilessly: "I don't understand, if you want to fall in love, why don't you promise Lisa?" We all know that it was for you that she forcibly sent her brother Orin to the Boy Scout camp. β
The red-haired centaur froze.
He almost sighed and said, "But that doesn't mean that she really wants to live with me forever...... She's too young. β
As soon as these words came out, Keos was also silent.
There is no centaur who does not like humans, it is the nature of centaurs that is engraved in their blood.
Human beings are soft, lovely, passionate and energetic.
But centaurs live almost three or four times longer than humans, and in the face of the time gap, few humans choose to be with a long-lived race like centaurs.
In other words, there is no such precedent so far, after all, it has only been ten years since the centaurs left the Dark Forest and made a peace and friendship pact with humans.
Finally, Faria looked at his friend who was "in sympathy" with him, and said helplessly:
"Maybe we're just missing a little courage, just a little courage - would you like to go with me to Old John's weapons shop?"
β¦β¦
Keos couldn't tell how he had a brain pumping and agreed to Faria's invitation to go with him to Old John's weapons shop.
It can't really be that damn courage.
Keos's eyebrows were about to reach the sky, and he said coldly to Faria, who was wearing red dreadlocks, "Do you feel courageous now?" β
Faria: "......"
Faria felt that it would take a lot of courage for him to go to work tomorrow as usual.
Old John's weapons shop has always been the best shoe shop for all the centaurs in Boeing Town - Old John has an extremely good iron striking skill, and his horseshoes are comfortable and smooth, and his sound is very crisp, and he is loved by the entire guard.
Horseshoes are usually replaced every three months or so, and Keos and Faria only replaced them early last month with the rest of the guard, and it was not time to replace them again.
It's just that Faria wants to change into a brand new one today, and sincerely invites Keos to go with him.
So the two met up after work and came to the weapon shop.
No one informed them that John Sr. had suddenly decided to retire a week earlier, and the current owner of the weapons shop was his son John Jr.
John Jr. was a very thoughtful young man, and he found that under the long peace, the need for weapons was much less.
John Jr. proposed to his father several times that the weapons shop be renamed a blacksmith's shop, but John Sr. did not agree.
So after taking over the weapons shop, John Jr. got the idea on the centaurs.
The Centaurs have been their biggest customer group in the past decade, and John Jr. has vowed to serve them well, and he has even opened up new business for them!
So, while John Jr. and his apprentice were working hard to fix the horse's hooves for Koros and Faria, the two captains of the guard, who comfortably relaxed their vigilance, agreed to the beauty package recommended by Little John in a daze.
I got a card, I beautified my appearance, and I spent money.
Now, standing at the door of the shop was Koos, whose gray hair had been tied together and combed into a loose fishbone braid, and his red hair had been braided into strands of dirty braids, and the black horseskin had been carefully waxed, like a glittering rascal's Faria.
The two stood on the sparsely populated commercial street at night, dazed.
