Chapter 107 Golden Bread
As the memorial service for the heroes came to an end, the residents and soldiers returned to the town and began to enjoy their moment of victory.
After the victory of the war, in addition to commemorating the sacrificed soldiers, a grand celebration banquet is naturally indispensable.
In order to allow the residents of Hekou Town to recover from the pain of the war, Rhodes gave them a two-day holiday.
And arrange for the town's chefs to cook delicious food.
A lively open-air banquet was held in a large open space in the town.
Although food was expensive nowadays, Rhodes didn't have to worry about financial problems for the time being thanks to the income from the spoils of war from the White Frost Cult.
To express his gratitude to the residents for their contribution in defending the city, he took out the wheat flour in stock.
A special treat for everyone to enjoy free white bread.
White bread was a reward for ordinary residents, and Rhodes also had special arrangements for professional soldiers.
Two months have passed since the magic field was planted, and the second season of high-quality barley has matured and is ready to be harvested.
It's not like there was a lack of seeds at the beginning.
With the seeds from the first season to plant, Rhodes harvested a total of 200,000 pounds of high-quality barley from the more than 100 acres of magic fields.
It is far from enough to be the staple food for the residents of the territory.
But as a special food supply for the army, the stock of high-grade barley is sufficient to meet the requirements.
At this moment, in the bakery of the small town.
A group of cooks in white aprons were busy, shoveling bread out of the steaming oven.
Freshly baked white bread is plump and round, exuding an enticing and delicious aroma.
After the white bread was delivered to the open space outside, there were the residents' howling cheers, which made people clearly feel their excitement.
In fact, with the construction and development of Hekou Town, the salaries of the town residents are generous enough.
Enough for them to buy white bread from time to time to taste.
But how can something you buy yourself compare to a free meal at a celebration party?
On the other side of the bakery, there is a unique aroma.
A dozen cooks there were baking bread carefully.
He was much more focused and attentive than his companion on the other side, holding the golden flour in his hands with great care.
Lily, who came from Pingdingshan, watched from the side and said:
"Be careful, this is a gift from the God of Earth. It was specially summoned by the Lord. It is a golden ear of wheat planted on Pingding Mountain! It is very precious!"
Lily emphasized beside her.
Hearing what the lord's only maid said, the surrounding cooks nodded and worked even harder.
Of course they had heard of the legend of Pingdingshan.
It is said that there was nothing there at first, it was a wasteland on the mountaintop covered with weeds and rampant wild beasts.
Until one day, the lord arrived with the pioneers and summoned two heavenly gods in a noble capacity.
The God of Earth cultivated farmland and planted golden wheat ears that nourish the body.
The gods of mountains and lakes gush out lakes to provide warm water to every household.
Thanks to the business in the bayou town, water towers have begun to be built here.
Many residents enjoy the magical tap water, worship the water tower devoutly, and no longer doubt the legend of the mountain and lake gods.
And now, the cooks look at the golden flour in their hands and the golden bread scooped out of the oven.
The skin is golden and crispy, exuding an irresistible and tempting aroma.
They can feel an amazing appetite and saliva can't stop being secreted in their mouths.
Several of the cooks had lost looks in their eyes, showing expressions of regret and pain.
Their husbands and children did not join the army and could not enjoy the golden bread.
The other few people held the golden bread and sent it out happily.
They could taste the legendary delicacy together when their husbands got their share of the bread. After finishing baking the golden bread, Lily withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and stopped checking back and forth with her chest puffed out.
Although Rhodes did not give any orders, Lily, considering herself the most trusted personal maid, felt that it was her duty to protect the master's property.
We can’t let the people below keep it for themselves!
Lily hummed a ballad happily, picked up the wooden tray and walked out.
Above is the exquisite lunch she specially prepared.
In the open space outside, White Bread was lying on the ground gnawing on a bone.
When it saw its former owner appear, it came over happily, wagging its tail.
"Ah, White Bread, I've told you so many times not to come so close to me. Don't you see how old you are now?"
Lily quickly raised the wooden tray above her head and helplessly pushed it away with her shoulder.
Adult Ice Blade Wolf is huge in size.
He is three meters tall and over one and a half meters tall, which makes him a little taller than her.
"Are you trying to pretend that you didn't mean it and secretly squeeze the food from my hand and eat it yourself? Greedy dog, no!"
Lily stood on tiptoe and gently kicked Whitebread's thigh.
The latter fell to the ground, looking at her innocently.
Seeing it rolling around at her feet, Lily, in a good mood, finally decided to take a small piece of golden bread from her own share and throw it to it.
"Well, never mind. Just a small sip."
Then she picked up a small piece, put it into her mouth, and a happy smile appeared on her face.
"It's delicious! This is the life I want. White bread is no longer worthy of Lily. I have to have golden bread!"
Lily skipped to the castle and entered after being allowed to enter by the soldiers.
Just as she was about to step inside, she suddenly looked towards the castle garden.
There stood a girl about her age.
He was wearing tight leather armor, with a sword at his waist, and his chest was slightly bulging, as if about to bloom.
The most important thing is that her coordinated facial features and brown short hair give her a unique heroic charm.
Since most of the young girls in Hekou Town had been harmed by Flynn and were injured and disfigured, they rarely came out to see others.
This made Lily feel threatened by her appearance for the first time in her life.
Now there is an exception.
After seeing the girl, the contrast between the two made Lily nervous and she stared at her vigilantly.
There should be no visitors during this period of time.
In other words, this girl is from the territory?
Why would a girl who is not as good looking as me appear here?
Fearing that her status was threatened, Lily couldn't help but stare at the other person.
Opposite her, Lunsa looked over in confusion.
As the daughter of Knight Loren, she recognized Lily's identity.
Knowing that she was the lord's only maid and had a special status, she didn't understand why the other party was staring at her.
After thinking about it, Lunsa showed her goodwill and took the initiative to say, "Good afternoon, I am Lunsa Adele."
Seeing her graceful and polite greeting, Lily wanted to respond out of habit, but she froze in place.
She didn't know any aristocratic etiquette, and Rhode never cared about it.
Lily couldn't help but blush while stiffening, and she quickly raised the wooden plate.
"Yes, sorry, I need to deliver food to the adults, I'm in a hurry, bye!"
Seeing Lily running into the castle in a hurry, Lunsa was a little puzzled.
But she didn't pay too much attention to it, as she had more important things to worry about. She looked towards the castle anxiously, waiting for news from her father.
