Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 322, Chef Cherova

The business of Lieutenant Colonel was very smooth, and he came back early in the afternoon to prepare a family feast at home. In fact, it was Claude, his adjutant, Long Lido Second Lieutenant. His wife personally cooked and prepared a dinner that was not very delicious but warm and hearty.

Since Claude was left in the baron house of Normandy during the day and didn’t have time to go back to the bookstore to buy some books, Manrich Lieutenant Colonel decided to stay for another day. He took Claude and the Second Lieutenant. Visit Royal Capital, go to the bookstore in the business district, wait until after dinner and then return to the military school. This will happen just during the day and will not delay the business.

So on the third morning, Claude and Manicich Lieutenant Colonel returned to the military school, and the poor Longcote Second Lieutenant sat in front of the coachman and took turns to drive the carriage overnight, frozen like a donkey. Manicich Lieutenant Colonel waved his hand to the dormitory to rest, and at the same time found another coachman to send Claude to Natalie’s home.

When they arrived at the place, the coachman helped Claude move a large box of books into the room, and then drove the carriage back to the military school. Claude herself went into the yard with a big bag, and greeted Natalie, handing her the note written by her baby son to her, and said two words about her son Fadra, telling Nata Li Dahao don’t bother him during the day, he has to sleep well.

Although Claude and Manicich Lieutenant Colonel had a night in the carriage, they were sleeping in the carriage, but they were not very stable. So Claude’s spirit is also very exhausted and needs a good rest. The rest went to sleep at three o’clock in the afternoon, and Claude went out of the room and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook some hot water to take a shower.

In the kitchen, that Doris was there, Claude saw her and thought of the night, and she felt a little embarrassed. Doris also blushes, but still asks what Claude needs if she doesn’t care. Knowing that Claude was going to take a hot bath, she was very enthusiastic to say that she could help, so Claude went to the water and sent it to the kitchen. Doris began to boil water with a clean copper pot, and then Claude poured the burnt water into the water tank outside the room.

After a long time of tossing Claude, I can take a hot shower, but there is only a shower head in the bathroom, but there is no bathtub, which makes Claude extraordinarily regrettable, he actually wants to take a bath. After the shower, Claude remembered that the last change of clothes was taken by Halbera and had not been taken back. Although she was replaced with new underwear, the outer military uniform has not been replaced.

No way, Claude had to open the window and jump out to call Doris to help. He should not dip the replaced military uniform into the tub while taking a bath. Otherwise, he could wear it first. Instead, Doris heard Claude’s call and went upstairs to bring Claude’s last cleaned clothes, all neatly stacked, and the military uniforms were comforted, which made Claude feel that the monthly cost of Sanriasuo cleaning was Value for money.

Claude is ready to thank Doris for her help, and she took a paper tube of baked egg rolls bought from Royal Capital as a gift to thank her. Doris didn’t expect Claude to give her a gift. It seemed to be very flustered and shy at the moment. After a long time, Claude left the kitchen with the paper-wrapped gift in front of her.

Just did not expect that Claude went out of the kitchen but saw the old man of Zhasilak standing at the door of the yard and staring at him with a black face: “What are you doing?”

What am I doing? I didn’t do anything and didn’t want to do anything. What do you mean by this? Claude was also a bit messy in the wind, I don’t know how to answer it.

Zhaxirak’s old man no longer pays attention to Claude, who is worried about it. He entered the kitchen with his imposing manner. His eyes were carefully examined on Doris’s body. He did not find any flaws in his clothes. Then he asked: “This kid goes in.” What do you want to do in the kitchen?”

“Ah, he just came to thank me,” said Doris.

“Thank you, why should you thank you?” The old man seems to be very skeptical.

Claude discovered that the paper roll that had just been placed in front of Doris had disappeared. He was very upset. This is a skeptical attitude: “Hey, what do you mean? I just woke up and wanted to take a shower, she helped. Give me hot water. After washing, the clothes I cleaned last time have not been taken back. She also went upstairs and gave it to me. Now I am going to the military academy and said thank you to her.”

Doris nodded, indicating that Claude was right. The old man had a boring, and he was embarrassed to apologize, but he just slammed himself upstairs.

Paralyzed, you are the old man, Claude is really angry. I went to Royal Capital two days before the labor. I just gave you the big son with a big parcel. I also spent so much horse-drawn carriage fees. I didn’t expect to tell your daughter-in-law when I came back. Two sentences, you will turn your face and not recognize people, but also doubt my idea of ​​hitting your wife… What are you, OK, old man, you are waiting for me…

But Doris said aside, you are fine, my public is like this, because my husband is not at home, he is very concerned about other men and I contact…

Claude said with a black face, I went to the military school first.

Because the morning came by a horse-drawn carriage, Claude had to walk to the military school this time. Anyway, it is not so far away. It takes about half an hour to walk, that is, from the village to the other side, it takes only ten minutes to ride.

The road surface is a little moist, and the roads in the village are all tangled together, very flat, which is much better than the rest of the village. Many of the roads in the village are muddy roads. In February, the ice age became a mud pit, and the rainy season in March became a small water pool, and it was impossible to walk.

Claude slowly walked along the road in the village to the military academy. The village of Kaleben was very large. The villagers’ houses were not huddled together, but scattered across the east, between the house and the house. They are all small dishes and gardens. Yes, flowers are also one of the specialties of Kaleben Village.

Not long after, Claude went to a large open space in the village. This open space has been bought by several dealers. It is ready to build the first pub in the village of Kaleben. It is obvious that these traders are cadets. The idea is that military school students are more willing to spend their salaries and supplements in the pub than in the villagers.

At this time Claude was stopped, turned around and looked at him. The person who called him was very familiar. He only remembered the fake wooden leg Claude on his left foot. This person called him is the village head of Kaleben Village, Nata. The eldest son of Li Dazhen seems to be called Cenovar.

The village chief of Cenovar was very polite, wearing a faded old military uniform with no epaulettes, probably because he was brought back by disability. Because his identity is nationals and retired, it is okay to wear old military uniforms, but not to wear any formal epaulettes. This is a completely different treatment for King soldiers and officers. If Claude retires from the Major rank, he can wear a military uniform and wear a formal Major badge for his daily social activities.

The village chief of Cenovar called Claude. It was just strange why Claude walked instead of riding horses, and he was concerned about whether Claude used his parents’ home to live habitually. Claude explained it briefly and said that Natalie was very hospitable, but she couldn’t figure out why his father, Zhasilak, seemed to be unwelcome.

Cherova smiled and sorry for his father. He told Claude that his father did not like the military school to settle in the village, thinking that it would disturb the calm life of the villagers. However, Cenowa has strongly supported the military school to open in the village, thinking that this will bring earth-shaking changes to the village, and it may change the face of the village in poverty…

“Claude Knight, the village of Kaleben is far from the Royal Capital. It is the most edged village. Although it is under the jurisdiction of Royal Capital, it has no good influence on the village. Just like the flowers produced in our village, it is often too late. At the freshest moment, it was sent to Royal Capital, and the price has been kept low. It is often considered that the planting is very uneconomical. For the villagers, it is better to go to the mountains to pick some mountain goods and then sell them to earn a few copper coins. Home…”

The village chief of Cenovar was a man who had seen the world. When he joined the army, he joined the Marine Corps. He followed the Kingdom Fearless Fleet to the mainland of Nubissia and was stationed in many places. Only after 11 years of being a soldier, I wanted to make a career and seek a career for myself. After receiving the training of the non-commissioned officers, I transferred to a local force under the direct jurisdiction of Nubissia. Unfortunately, I was unfortunately shot by a poisonous arrow when suppressing an indigenous riot. Pharmacist In order to save his life and cut off the left foot of the arrow, he also retired because of the injury.

The village chief Cherova learned to read and read literate in the army, which is stronger than his semi-literate father. When he got home, he first married his wife, but he was soon appointed as the village head of Kaleben village because of his nationals status. He had a conflict with the father who was originally the village head. Finally, he had to separate the house and build another house in the village. .

Regarding the conflict between him and his father, the old man of Zhasilak, the village chief of Cherova was simply mentioned, that is, the concept is different. The old man of Zhasilak is a person who doesn’t like much trouble. Unless he collects taxes and recruits, he usually does not want to contact the villagers. He only likes to close his home.

At that time, Cenovar had just been appointed as the head of the village, ambitious, hoping to gather the power of the village and change the face of poverty in the village of Kaleben. This is the most objection of his father, Zhaxirak. The old man of Zhasilak believes that the villagers have a good time to shut them down, and the opportunity to find a fortune is not as good as their own. It can be said that the old man of Zhasilak is an extremely selfish and unobtrusive villager, only looking at his own one-acre three-point land. He will not care about other days…

The village chief of Cherova, who has been a soldier for more than a decade, knows very well that many of the roads to get rich are not the ones who can make their own money, but a scale effect. Just like the mainland of Nubissia that he has been to, a market town or a village is often famous for what special products, so that the people in the whole village are enriched and affect the surrounding areas, creating more opportunities for making money…

Because of this consideration, he strongly supported the military school to settle in the village of Kaleben, which may bring great changes and changes to the calm life of the villagers, so that they no longer live in poverty. At the same time, it will bring great benefits to him. For example, if the village of Kalleben is developed, his village chief has achieved political achievements. In addition, there are also great economic benefits, just like the pub that is now being built, and he has also entered it.

But now the village chief of Cenowa is distressed by how to change the economic situation of the village of Kaleben and find a way to make most of the villagers have a profit, forming a cluster effect in the village of Kaleben. As a special product of the village, the shelf life is too short, and the number of mountain goods collected by the villagers up the mountain is not much. They are slowly collected to have a certain amount of sales, and the scale is too small. Other plants are the common foods of oatmeal and potatoes, and there is no special product at all…

Claude was ready to say goodbye when he talked to him, but after a few steps he stopped and thought about it, he told Chenova that there was a cash crop that might satisfy his requirements, and Claude thought that half of the hills of Kaleben village It is very suitable to plant this cash crop in the mountains. It’s just that the price of this cash crop is a bit expensive. I don’t know if the village chief of Genova has the strength and confidence to grow this cash crop.

The village chief of Cenowa took Claude and asked what is this cash crop?

Claude simply said two words: “Tobacco.”

The village chief of Cenovar suddenly realized that he gave himself a slap in the palm of his hand. He naturally knows that tobacco is a specialty of the mainland of Nubissia. He did not taste tobacco when he was in charge of the Kingdom of Numissia. In Freia Continent, tobacco is a luxury. On the mainland of Nubissia, tobacco is used as a very common medicinal material. He also came back after smoking because the tobacco was too expensive.

Perhaps the common and widespread of Nubissia’s continental tobacco, and even the monopoly of the large supply of Freia Continent tobacco, did not expect to grow tobacco on Freia Continent. They only need to transport the tobacco from the mainland of Nubissia to double the price. It is very simple and very profitable, so there is no need to plant it on the mainland.

Claude also thought that tobacco seeds could be grown in several commercial banks in the Royal Capital business district. If the village chief of Cenowa listened to himself and really planted tobacco in the village of Kaleben and formed a scale, then the price of tobacco in Kingdom would definitely fall, and it might attract the blow of big businessmen. But Claude believes that the village chief of Genova will understand the risks. If he insists on growing tobacco, he is obviously sure to deal with the big businessmen who monopolize the tobacco trade…

After bidding farewell to the village chief of Cenovar, Claude went to the military academy, and Lieutenant Colonel told him that the day after tomorrow was the day when the senior seminars started, and all the participating officers had arrived at the military academy. At 8:30 the next morning, General Michelle K. Priest will personally serve as the director of this high-level seminar, hosting projects and courses that need to be discussed.

“What do I need to do?” Claude asked.

Lieutenant Colonel thought about it and shook his head. “You are the general seminar of General Michelle. I don’t know what preparations you should make, or look at it later. But I I think you’d better bring a book and a pen, and make a record when other officers speak. Maybe it will give you some good feelings. No way, whoever is the smallest captain of your military rank, you should be at those school levels. In front of the officers, give them a good impression…”
