The correct way to open the sprite

.

In less than two months, the Iron Army warriors of the Golden City completely wiped out all the small aristocratic territories in the desert.

It took two months, mostly spent on the transfer of the sand people and the thorough plunder of various small territories.

This kind of plunder, like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, has resulted in the Golden City becoming lively again. It doesn't matter how much of this excitement is directed at the Cattail City Iron Army.

Those who abide by the rules of Cattail City will have a good life. As for those who don't abide by the rules, those human mercenaries who joined the Golden City know best how to make people rush to participate in labor.

Esterheimer is a halfling of the Halfling Heimer clan. However, when the leader of the Heimer clan, Erenheimer, moved some of his clan members to the Great Wilderness Outpost, their family did not follow them, but stayed behind. The moonlight forest.

With the plane war imminent, the Esther family finally moved out of the Hazy Moon Forest under the persuasion of their patriarch.

However, most of the garrison in Cattail City is reserved for the families of soldiers and workers, and they do not receive residence quotas in Cattail City.

But this is not a bad thing, because they have not lived in Cattail City for a long time, and they have no idea how advanced Cattail City is.

The Ester family eventually moved to a new base in Cattail City in the Snowy Crest Mountains, where safety was higher, and got a job as a cook in a mobile kitchen with his wife.

Hearing the sound of silver coins clinking from the halfling chef's waist pocket, and seeing him in decent clothes and full of energy, Esther was a little envious.

This is a ship's kitchen converted from a retired steam battleship from Cattail City, staying on the west bank of the Lengshui River opposite Cattail City.

At this time, on the hillside on the west bank of the Lengshui River, many dwarves and half-length workers were cutting rocks.

All the trees on the hillside have been cut down and turned into various useful tools. The soil on the mountain has also been removed, and what is exposed on the hillside is a huge rocky mountain.

Following the instructions of the chef, Esther took out a wooden barrel from the bottom of the ship, which was a little cold due to the water temperature of the Lengshui River. He used a towel to cushion it and carried it down the gangplank to the edge of the hillside not far away. .

He placed the barrel on the wooden stand, took down an empty barrel from the wooden stand, and carried it back to the cabin.

"Here comes the cold beer." As the dwarf foreman shouted, many dwarves put down their iron tongs and hammers, picked up the water glasses placed aside, and came over.

There are three wooden barrels in a row on the shelf, two of which are filled with cold mountain spring, and only one barrel is filled with beer.This is a limited supply, and each dwarf can only get three rounds in half a day, one cup per round.

There is no way, if there is no limit, the dwarves can turn the construction site into an open-air food stall, and get drunk just by the cool breeze blowing from the Lengshui River.

Esther put down the empty wine barrel and looked a little unhappy as his wife was still peeling potatoes.

"What's wrong, Esther?" the halfling chef asked.

"Our family has cultivated a small piece of land in the Misty Moon Forest. We originally thought we could get a bigger piece of land here, but we didn't expect that we would have to build a boat every day to carry wine and cook for the dwarves."

The older halfling chef put down the work at hand, picked up the water glass and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Why, doesn't the fragrant snow rice taste delicious?"

The fragrant snow rice is accompanied by the braised sea fish. My little kid was stroking his belly and groaning after eating it. How could it not be delicious?

“Even if I’m not good at what I’m doing, I’m still good at farming.”

The chef laughed loudly: "Don't worry, it won't be long before not only you, but also the halflings who have been allocated fields in Cattail City will have no land to plant."

Esther asked in confusion: "Why, didn't it mean that Lord Darren has already allocated those fields to us halflings?"

As an original halfling who watched Cattail City grow up, the chef knows a lot.

"That's not what I meant, but Cattail City has started experimenting with machine farming. During the holiday a few days ago, I took my family there to watch the fun.

Those machines are so powerful, they are almost as big as our ship. We can plant about ten ridges of land in one trip, so why do we need halflings?

From now on, those halflings who have land should move into the urban area of ​​Cattail City. The farming will be left to machines, so we don't have to suffer.

But it can’t all pass. After all, machines are not omnipotent, and machines cannot do the work of cattail farming.

In fact, as long as you get good at it, the work is easy, you only have a short period of time every day, there are rest days, you get a lot of money, and you don’t have to worry about things in the fields. This is called ensuring harvests due to drought and floods.

When you open the money, you don’t want to buy whatever you want. It’s great to have fish and meat.

You're just not used to it. You'll be fine once you get used to it.

Don't stay at home after work. Isn't there a square built at the branch base? Take the children for a walk. According to Mr. Darren, that is called enjoying life. "

Esther nodded and asked: "What are you doing here? Why are you cutting this hillside flat?"

"This is not a leveling. When you went up to deliver the wine, didn't you see the two white lines painted on the rock? This is to dig a canal here."

Esther asked without knowing what was going on: "What's the use of digging a canal on the mountain? Does it have to be deeper than the Lengshui River?"

"It's not that deep. It's only as deep as the wooden frame. I heard it's a flood discharge channel. As for what kind of flood discharge, I don't know. Cattail City is actually a new thing. Who knows what else might happen."

While they were talking, the dwarf foreman came in and said, "When will lunch be ready?"

"Didn't I just finish a barrel of wine? Now I'm thinking about lunch. Let's wait. There's still an hour left for dinner." said the halfling chef.

The dwarf foreman said casually that he was not here to see lunch. He walked to the side of the boat and pulled up a thin rope hanging from the side of the boat with one end hanging in the water.

I saw a wine bottle tied to the end of the string that sank in the river. The dwarf foreman pulled it up and took it into his hand.

"Oh, the drink quota for those guys is so small that I'm embarrassed to argue with them. Tons, tons, tons."

"There are no outsiders here, don't mess with that useless thing." The halfling chef glanced at the dwarf foreman.

"Hiccup~ It's so cold, so enjoyable."

The dwarf burped, took the empty jug and ran to the bottom of the cabin with ease, filled the jug with wine again, then closed the lid tightly and tied the rope, and threw it into the river with a pop again. It depends on his proficiency. Definitely not once or twice.

"You guys who are drilling holes and setting off cannons, what are you doing?" the halfling chef asked casually.
