Breakfast is a luxury for villagers in Woer village, except for the busy day in the wheat field. Therefore, Ji won’t eat breakfast until the sun climbs the ridge.

The breakfast food here is chestnut, rice and miscellaneous grains porridge, which is made of chestnut kernels, barley grains and beans. After cooking in the fireplace for more than two hours, the beans can be boiled extremely fluffy and soft, and after cooling, adding a spoonful of maple sugar is also very delicious. However, there are not many people in Woer Village who can afford maple sugar.
If there is a famine, occasionally some cassava dices will be mixed into porridge. The villagers can remove the toxins in cassava by cutting cassava into small dices the size of soybeans and soaking them in cold water for two days so that they will not be poisoned.
Several village women came from rivers and streams with water jugs, talking and laughing. This winter is not difficult. Every family has enough food, and there is no tragedy that the roof collapses due to heavy snow. Occasionally, they can eat air-dried chickens, ducks and frozen sea fish. This is something that they didn’t dare to think about before, but now everyone knows. It is precisely the yellow ore mining on the Pustuca Mountain that has improved the lives of the village people.
Spring has come, and the dry season has just come.
Last autumn, Brett, the old village chief, led a village tour to build a large dam, which was also filled with a pool of spring water. In previous years, there would probably be no water shortage during the sowing season.
When this group of village women saw Surdak coming in from the entrance of the village, a group of women’s eyes became sparkling.
I almost went to meet him and pushed his full and bulging chest to brag about him, just like I usually say when chatting.
"Oh, that’s not Little Ducky!" Someone in the village woman exclaimed
A well-informed village woman immediately corrected, "Do you want to call Sir Surdak …"
"Haha, Little Duck has become a knight!" His village women smiled and said that their smiles were exaggerated, but their faces were so bright.
It seems that this group of village women can’t hear the slightest fear of knights.
Surdak simply said hello and walked home.
When I passed Selena’s room, I saw faint smoke from the chimney on the roof. Instead of entering the small courtyard, he quickly walked home. The wall was still a little shabby. It was a bit shabby for a knight with a knighthood to still live in such a room.
Carl suggested that Suldak buy Funak Manor directly, but Suldak still prefers to build a big house in Wall Village. Old Sheila yearns for the big villa with attic in her heart, and it is best to build a small wooden bridge near the stream. It is best to transplant some chestnut trees in front of the house.
The old cow in the courtyard made a dull low hum, and Rita could be heard whispering through the courtyard wall. She seemed to be chatting with Natasha.
Surdak raised his hand and pushed the gate to see Rita and Natasha squatting beside the cow and milking the cow with a small iron bucket.
The gate was suddenly pushed by two people and turned to the door at the same time to see Rita at the gate of Surdak. She got up from the ground in surprise and wiped her little apron for two times before she shouted in surprise, "Surdak is back …"
He said, he strode to the door and threw himself into Surdak’s arms. His big blue eyes were full of excitement and joy.
On the contrary, Natasha is quiet next to the cow. She is wearing a gray-white cotton skirt with long blond hair wrapped in a silk handkerchief and a pair of big eyes like a shining night star with a faint smile on her face.
When I heard Rita calling the door, I was pushed. Little Peter rushed out with a wood blade in his hand and squeezed Rita and Surdak.
Old Sheila stood by the door, and the wrinkles on her face deepened a little this winter.
"Didn’t you go out with the guard camp? How come back? " Old Sheila asked Surdak
When she received the letter from Surdak, she really had nightmares for several days. I didn’t expect Surdak to come back only three months ago.
Surdak released Rita, lifted little Peter to the shoulder and went directly to the door and said to old Sheila, "I went to a set of maca planes this time. I just returned to the city by magic airship yesterday and came back overnight because I wanted to settle some slaves!"
"Haven’t had breakfast …" Old Sheila asked, narrowing her eyes and looking at Surdak.
Surdak smiled and nodded and followed old Sheila into the room.
As soon as Surdak sat down in the chair, he said to Rita who followed him, "By the way, Rita will help me cook a big pot of porridge later. I still have several hand-made villages. I want them to prepare some breakfast later, so prepare it for 20 people!"
"Your hand?" Rita stare big eyes to sur tak doubt asked.
Surdak proudly pointed to the knight badge on his chest and said to Rita, "I am now a small captain in the guard camp. I have recruited a few hands this time to participate in the Maca plane war, but they are a little special. When you see them, you’d better be prepared to have a big man. He is very kind and don’t be afraid or too surprised to see him go."
"I heard from Charlie that you joined the guard camp in the city and now you are promoted to captain?" Rita kept asking, "Are we going to move to the city later?"
Surdak touched his nose and replied, "I won’t guard the camp for a while. The official life will come soon. I will take the sheriff who is barren outside the Pagros Pass in Hailansa City …"
"…" Rita opened her mouth and looked at Surdak strangely. I didn’t expect Surdak to become a knight master in the guard camp just after a winter …
Chapter 494 Old village head visiting
I heard that Surdak had returned to the village, and before he finished his breakfast, the old village chief Brett took Charlie and Luke to visit.
"Uncle Brett!" Surdak swallowed the last bite of miscellaneous grains porridge into his stomach and asked the old village head and others to sit in the living room.
Old Sheila took little Peter out of the house. Little Peter pestered Surdak to influence everyone to talk about things.
Natasha brought out a pot of tea from the kitchen and made lemon tea for everyone.
After entering the spring, Surdak organized the construction of the reservoir last autumn, which has produced results.
The period from late spring to early summer has always been the driest season in Woer village. When the water is abundant at ordinary times, almost all the spring water in Woer village flows into the swimming swamp and seeps into the ground. By the time of sowing in spring, the spring eye can not get enough water, which leads to the shortage of irrigation water sources in the village.
With this first-class reservoir, the villagers will not compete for irrigation water, which also solves the biggest headache of the old village chief Brett. Every year, several conflicts arise in the village because of the competition for irrigation. Now it seems that these problems are solved.
War broke out on the plane of Maca. Hailansa City not only sent guards to support it, but also collected a batch of strategic materials one after another in the later period. Due to the huge gap caused by fire scales, the price of sulfur ore in Hailansa City rose one after another, and there was no way to discuss with Surdak. The old village chief decisively sold a batch of sulfur ore, which made Wal ‘er Village have a large income in winter.
The old village chief took a sip of lemon tea with maple syrup while it was hot and moistened Run Qian’s hoarse throat before asking Surdak, "Dudak heard that you followed the guard camp to carry out the execution. Why did you come back so soon?"
Luke and Charlie stared enviously at the Suldak magic pattern. Although they don’t have this magic armor, it doesn’t mean they don’t know this precious magic pattern.
Surdak nodded slightly and explained to the old village head that "the guard camp was over and he withdrew from there."
