Chapter 87 Oak Town

Stellenbosch is located between Simmons Fort and Parrot Mountain, close to the Elsdee River, with mountains and water, sufficient sunlight and suitable climate. In the 21st century, it is a famous tourist area in Cape Town.

In addition to the world-famous wines, Stellenbosch has also contributed a lot to the fact that it can become a tourist area. It is full of European-style architecture. Of course, most of the buildings in the 21st century have not yet appeared. The current Stellenbosch In Bosch, there is no Stellenbosch University, there is no Mare Square, and there is no museum. The most magnificent building in the whole town is a church. The roof of the church is not as high as that of Rock's house.

"It's such a crappy place. I really don't understand why you came here." Henry had covered his nose with a handkerchief since he entered Stellenbosch, as if this would stop the bad smells.

It's really bad, too many vineyards have been abandoned, and the whole town is filled with a rotten smell, mixed with a little smell of failed fermentation lees, even alcoholics don't like this smell.

Because Rock insisted, Henry had no choice but to agree, and within the scope of his authority, he sought the greatest support for Rock, such as doctors, medicines, and more food, which Stellenbosch desperately needed.

Henry is also very interesting. Rock led the team here, and Henry accompanied Rock without saying a word. Of course, don't expect Henry to have a good attitude. It is already very face-saving to come.

"Do you dare to make a bet with me, within two years, I will turn Stellenbosch into a paradise." Rock began to paint cakes again, but the grade has been improved. In the past, Rock's cakes were painted for Chinese policemen , and now Henry.

When he came to Stellenbosch, Rock only brought Anton's team, a total of [-] Chinese policemen, plus two Boers in charge of logistics, as well as a cook, a doctor and two nurses. It was all of Roque's staff.

"Heaven?! Hell is almost the same!" Henry didn't believe it at all. In Henry's view, Stellenbosch is now hell.

"Just wait and see." Rock was not in a hurry. Anyway, there were still more than two years before the end of the war. It would be good to stay in Stellenbosch for more than two years, at least he would not be sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

Now that he is planning to stay permanently in Stellenbosch, Rock must of course carry out appropriate renovations on Stellenbosch.

If it was before, Roque would still need to seek the cooperation of the locals, but not now, the local Boers were either thrown into refugee camps or fled overseas. Roque didn’t need to seek anyone’s advice, as Roque knew before. Yes, in Stellenbosch, Rock is the emperor.

"Oak Town has become a ghost town now. There are no people in these houses on the side of the road. The former sheriff lived in the church. If you want to live in the church, Mr. Inspector, I'm afraid you need to find some people to clean it." The one responsible for introducing Rock was a Boer police officer named Jeffrey. There was a war between the British and the Boers, and the Boer police were also beaten and sent to Stellenbosch.

When people in Cape Town mention Stellenbosch, they always use the place name "Stellenbosch". Of course, they can't use it like this when they are in Stellenbosch, so these policemen working in Stellenbosch, They all use the place name "Oak Town".

Very vivid, there are indeed many oak trees in Stellenbosch.

But it is obvious that the current Oak Town is not even worthy of this name. There are about thirty or forty families in the entire Oak Town. It can be seen that the living conditions of these Boers are not very good. Most of the houses are dilapidated. There is not even a door, and the windows do not use glass, but are directly nailed up with wooden strips. When opened, it can play a role in ventilation and light transmission. When closed, the room is probably pitch black.

In addition to these thirty or forty houses, there are more than a dozen piles of ruins. These ruins are estimated to be the homes of the Boers who fled to the Transvaal Republic and the Orange Free State. The British have never been soft on them. Since you escaped, don't come back, so it's useless to keep these houses.

"Oak Town, the name is good, there are no people in the town, where can I find someone to clean it?" Rock has not yet entered the role, and his thinking is still in a peaceful mode.

Jeffrey opened his mouth, but didn't speak very tactfully, turned around and called over a dozen Boolean girls.

They are really all girls. According to Rock, the maximum age is no more than 20 years old, but white girls develop earlier, so these girls may not be adults yet.

Different from the white girls in Rock's impression, these Boolean girls all lowered their heads and bowed their bodies, and started cleaning from outside the church, not letting go of every corner. The seriousness and concentration of this kind of work——

More serious than when Ada puts on her makeup in the morning.

Well, Rock has resumed his relationship with Ada, and every other day, Rock will go to the Table Mountain Hotel.

Seeing these girls, Rock realized, yes, in Stellenbosch, the police are the local emperors, although there are no people in Stellenbosch, but as long as Rock is willing, there will be thousands of people working for Rock at any time.

There are now more than 2000 Boer women and children in the Stellenbosch refugee camp, all of them are women and children, there are no old people or men.

"Reed, go back to Cape Town, call Christian, I want to build a house in Oak Town." Rock doesn't want to live in the church all the time, Rahul can make a living, Rock doesn't make a living, more than two years , have been living in the church, and regard themselves as God?

"Okay——" Li De hesitated. Christian is very busy now. There are more than twenty Chinese policemen waiting for Christian to build a house for them. Borrowed by guys who are in a hurry to use the house.

"It's okay, just call Christian." Rock is not worried about delaying the progress. Christian's subordinates are all skilled workers. In order to further expand the team, Christian is also consciously training his deputy. Calling Christian now will not Affect the work progress of building the house.

If there's anything wrong with Stellenbosch, it's that it's a bit far from Cape Town, 55 kilometers, and the 21st century is just a kick of the gas, the early [-]th century, and Christian won't be here until tomorrow.

In a short time, a dozen Boer girls cleaned the inside and outside of the church. Even with Rock's standards, they couldn't find any faults.

"Thank you very much, Jeffrey, how should I thank them?" Rock can't speak Dutch, so he can't communicate directly with these Boer girls. It is when the Boers are together that they speak Dutch.

"You don't need anything, just give each person an extra piece of bread for dinner." Jeffrey's answer surprised Rock, who was also a Boer, and it seemed that Jeffery didn't have much sympathy for these Boer girls.

 Really bewitched—come, come, I will update a chapter first, and ask for a ticket by the way—
