Chapter 89
After Father Anduin walked out of the door, he glanced at the farmland outside the village that had become barren again after harvesting and was waiting to be reclaimed. He hesitated, sat down at the door, took out his homemade hookah, and slammed it hard. After a few mouthfuls, his brows furrowed deeply. ? .
"Huh? Old man, what are you doing sitting here if you don't go to the fields?" Aunt Vera was about to go out for a walk, but when she stepped out of the threshold, she saw Father Anduin sitting on the doorstep, and immediately wondered.
"I'm thinking about something." Father Anduin knocked on the ground next to him with a hookah stick and motioned Aunt Vera to sit down. "You said... what should we do with that field?"
"What to do with it? Of course it's planted. Don't you want to plant it?" Aunt Vera gave Father Anduin an inexplicable look.
But at this moment, she saw that Father Anduin's temples seemed to have several more gray hairs than yesterday, and when she looked at the wrinkles on his face, her heart softened.
"Of course, if you really don't want to grow it, that's fine. Anyway, now our two boys and daughters have found jobs in the city, and they get a lot of salaries, and letting each of them take out a little is enough to support us both. We have raised them so big, there should be a little bit of filial piety." Aunt Vera persuaded her kindly, but was reprimanded by Father Anduin, and she was suddenly unhappy. He glared at Father Anduin: "Then what do you want?"
"I didn't think about it, I was just a little hesitant. You said... should we plant wheat as in previous years, or something else?"
"Change? What?" Aunt Vera asked in surprise.
"Didn't the Cantona Chamber of Commerce visited our village a few days ago and said that they would contract the land in our village to plant fruit trees. I just thought about it. He has also planted fruit trees for a few years, and has experience. If you plant it yourself, you will definitely earn more money than contracting it to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce.”
Aunt Vera rolled her eyes at Father Anduin: "If you really want to make money from the fields, then you might as well learn from other people in the village and hand over the fields to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. According to our family's land, there are more than ten acres of land. , there is also a minimum of thirty gold coins a year. After you have free time, you can go to other chambers of commerce to find some work and make a lot of money in the end?" Aunt Vera couldn't help sighing.
Based on what she has known about Father Anduin since she married Father Anduin for more than 30 years, usually, although he seems to be hesitating at this time, he has already made up his mind.
"Well, since you want to do it so much, then do it. Anyway, it's good to make more money. Even if you lose, you won't lose much, and you won't die." Aunt Vera said to Father Anduin as always. with support.
"Hehe, since you said so, then it's decided."
With the support of Aunt Vera. Father Anduin immediately made up his mind, and immediately felt a brighter mind. He knocked the homemade hookah on the ground hard, and stood up.
"I'll go to the city now to find out how the fruit tree seedlings are being sold. If everything goes well, I'll start planting them tomorrow!"…
Seeing Father Anduin's flamboyant appearance, Aunt Vera said angrily, "Don't you look at what time it is now? Are you still going to the city?"
"What are you afraid of, anyway, our village is now connected to the highway, and there is also a magic locomotive bus from Philson's car dealership. I will take the bus this time, and it will only take less than two hours to go back and forth, very quickly."
Father Anduin has always been a man of the temperament of leaving. After leaving a sentence, he strode out of the village.
Although the village of Prana, which is 70 to 80 kilometers away from Bangta City, was opened to a highway last month, and the Felson Motor Company immediately opened a bus to this place, but in order to meet the needs of the surrounding area at the same time. According to the needs of the village, the bus stop is still located on the road outside the village, and it is still a few steps away.
Who knew that before reaching the entrance of the village, a few beeps suddenly sounded at the door. Father Anduin followed the sound and saw a medium-sized magic bus driving in from the narrow gravel road at the entrance of the village.
Father Anduin was stunned for a moment, thinking that the bus stop of Philson's car dealership had suddenly changed to the village? The bus magic locomotive actually drove in!
Taking a closer look, I found that this medium-sized magic bus did not have the logo of Philson's Cars and Horses hanging on it at all, but had a sign on the front with the word "rental" written on it.
After Father Anduin was stunned for a moment, he realized that this should be a medium-sized magic bus that was very popular in Bangta City for the past two months, and the people in the city called it a taxi.
However, I heard that the cost of renting this thing is much more expensive than the bus, so now the people who can afford it are the rich people in the city.
And now that this taxi actually ran from the city to the village of Prana, which is so far away, it cost a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Father Anduin quickly gave way to the roadside.
Although the nobles and big businessmen in Bonta City used to be more honest than the rest of the kingdom when the Earl of Satsuma was the city lord, they are even more honest now that Her Royal Highness Princess Sevigny is the city lord. But compared with these gentlemen, he, an ordinary farmer, had a humble status after all, and he dared not stand in their way.
However, the strange thing is that this medium-sized magic bus stopped right next to Father Anduin.
The car window close to Father Anduin was open, and a young and beautiful girl with a sweet appearance and a quiet temperament, who didn't seem to be in such a remote place in the countryside, stuck her head out and showed Father Anduin a sweet smile.
"Hello. Is this Prana Village?"
Father Anduin glanced inside the car in amazement, and found that in addition to this young and beautiful girl, there were actually two dwarves and a male elf in the two medium-sized magic buses, as well as three human males, one younger. The other two looked at least over forty.
"Ah. That's right, this is Prana Village." Father Anduin nodded. "Are you from Bangta City? What are you doing in our village?"
"We came here to investigate." The young girl responded and thought for a while. He turned around and got out of the car on the other side, and then explained to the driver in charge of driving in front: "Find an open place to stop, we have already reached the place."
When the driver drove the medium-sized magic bus away again, the young girl walked up to Father Anduin again, and smiled every day: "Hello. My name is Evita, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce came here to investigate. How are you doing? call?"
"Just call me Anduin." Father Anduin glanced at Evita up and down, and couldn't help but admire: "If you can be sent by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce to investigate, you must have a high position in the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. Isn't it? It's not easy to be so young and beautiful to be so talented. By the way, what are you going to investigate here? We don't have any special places to investigate in Prana Village, right?"…
"Thank you for your compliment." Evita smiled slightly. "We're here to investigate the nearby magic crystal mine. Father Anduin. Are you a native of Prana Village? Then you should know about the nearby magic crystal mine?"
"Well, I have lived here all my life, and I dare say that few people know this place better than me. The magic crystal mine you mentioned should be in that direction..." Father Anduin pointed to the southwest direction outside the village. "The Falcao Chamber of Commerce used to mine this magic crystal mine for a few months, and I went there to be an absentee for a period of time."
"It's great that you are familiar with it." Evita smiled happily: "Then do you have time now? Could you please take us on a field trip? We are lacking a suitable guide. If it delays you time, we are willing to pay you a certain amount. It should make you satisfied.”
Father Anduin laughed and waved his hand: "It's not paid for anything, it's just to lead the way, what's the big deal. Well, I'm not in a hurry right now, I'll just take you for a trip."
"Really, thank you so much." Evita turned around and beckoned to everyone who had chosen an open place to get off the bus, motioning them to come over.
When the crowd rushed over, Evita first tapped the ground with her toes and said to one of the middle-aged men with beards: "Director Dusa, it seems that the village-to-village road project of your Amli Chamber of Commerce has not yet been completed. Ah, the road doesn't continue into the village at all, that's not going to work."
The middle-aged man called Director Dusa immediately called Qu: "Miss Evita, you can't talk nonsense. This project was proposed by President Xu of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce, and then our Chamber of Commerce got the advice of the City Lord's Mansion. It was only built, but I didn’t cut corners at all. The reason why the roads were not laid in the villages was to ensure that each village was connected by roads. As for the future, it must be laid in every village. went inside."
Father Anduin, who was on the side, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help but interrupted: "Yes, this little girl, the Amli Chamber of Commerce has done a good job. When there was no road in our village before, I thought A trip to Bangta City can only be done by walking, and it may not be possible to go back and forth in a day. Now that there are roads, even if I don’t take the bus that Philson runs, I can ride a bicycle in one morning. It's much more convenient than before."
"These are two different things." Evita shook her head and continued to pipe to Dusa: "Anyway, this road is definitely not good now. If the magic crystal mine starts to be mined in the future, such a road is very unfavorable for the magic crystal to face outward. transportation."
"It's easy to say, as long as your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to invest, we can not only lay the road in the village, but also directly in the mine." Director Dusa said proudly. "Of course, your new flight chamber of commerce will be rich, but it shouldn't be a big deal to lay so many more roads."
Evita shook her head slightly, but said nothing.
After Father Anduin explained to Aunt Vera, the group walked towards a mountain in the southwest of the village under his leadership. )
