Our family is in decline

"Next!" The clerk just took the wine glass and turned around to pour the wine, but found that the wine barrel had been emptied, and even a few drops came out after shaking.

"What's going on! Where's my drink?" The crew member seemed a little irritable. He had been waiting in line for a long time.

"The barrel is empty, please wait a moment. The wine will be brought from the cellar immediately." The clerk asked tentatively, "We have a better wine in the tavern. It only costs one copper coin a bottle. Do you want to try it? ?”

"Hurry up and bring it up!" The man raised his hand and patted his pocket. There was a sound of wallets colliding. It was self-evident what he meant.

The clerk didn't waste any time, turned around and went to the back. When he came out again, what he was holding was not a barrel or a wine glass, but a glass bottle with a simple cork on the mouth.

The beer in the pub is not the homemade fruit-fermented drink with only a slight alcohol content, but is brewed from real barley.

Generally, one copper coin can fill two large glasses of beer, and one cup is about 500 milliliters, which means that one liter of beer only costs one copper coin.

In this way, those workers can buy a cup after get off work and brag about it for half a day, and drink it in two days.

And this one has doubled directly. You can imagine how expensive it is. At least most ordinary people are reluctant to spend half a day's salary on drinking it.

But it is different for those sailors and crew members. They are not short of money, and wine is their lifeblood.

Not to mention that everyone around him was looking at him because of the situation just now. There was no way he could shrink his head, otherwise he would be laughed at for the rest of his life.

Without any nonsense, he took out a copper coin and slapped it on the table, then reached out and took the wine bottle from the clerk's hand.

But as soon as he took it, he felt something strange. It was actually cold to the touch. When he pulled out the cork, he could hear a slight "bang" sound, and a bit of wheat aroma rushed out of the mouth of the bottle along with the bubbles.

It was already unbearably hot, and after waiting for so long, I took a sip directly into the mouth of the bottle without hesitation.

And at this moment, the cold liquid crossed his throat, and he seemed to feel that the heat was extinguished instantly, and the pores all over his body seemed to be loosening as he breathed out hot air. The unprecedented feeling made him shudder. .

"How's it going?" The crew member on the side asked him quickly, a little curious about what this more expensive beer tasted like.

But the man didn't bother to pay attention at all. Instead, he took a big gulp of beer and quickly drank the entire bottle in front of everyone. Then he burped and couldn't help shouting.

"It's great!" The man took out another copper coin and shouted: "Another bottle!"

"I'm sorry, customer, each person can only order one bottle at a time." The clerk accepted the bottle with a smile, "There are only a dozen bottles in the warehouse now."

Others were a little tempted when they saw him like this. They could still afford a copper coin.

"Give me a bottle too!"

"I want a bottle too!"

"..."

The clerk looked at the curious looks of those people, turned back, pulled the rope in the deep well in the backyard, and picked up the beer in the hanging basket.

It can feel over 30 degrees outside or even 40 degrees, but the water in the deep well is still cold. Although it is not as cold as a refrigerator, it is enough to make a lot of difference.

Pick up a batch, put another batch down, and wait half an hour for another batch.

In fact, it was the same beer, but it was filled in bottles and fermented, then chilled in well water. The price doubled, and the lord still made money.

This simply processed cold beer instantly conquered these sailors. They had visited many pubs, but this was the first time for them to feel this way.

Who doesn’t want to enjoy a cold beer on a hot summer day?

Even if it's a little more expensive.

As if they were arriving by smell, the Roma people got in touch with the tavern owner and performed directly in the tavern. The women danced enchantingly and the men performed acrobatics, receiving bursts of cheers. Copper coins kept being thrown onto the stage.

But while she was being courted by the crew at the tavern, Amanda ran into trouble.

Her concerns were different from those of ordinary Roma people. As the nominal person in charge, she knew that the ships arranged by the organization were also in the fleet.

She was responsible for picking up a group of Roma people, so she planned to hand over the work.

This was an extremely ordinary thing, but then she was stopped directly under the boat and couldn't even get on the boat.

"I'm Amanda! I'm the person in charge of the organization in the empire area." Amanda was also a little angry. Now everyone can look down on her.

It doesn't matter if the Roma who are holding the convoy and preparing to leave refuse to accept him. They have to leave anyway, so they can be regarded as out of sight and out of sight. But now they can even be stopped from boarding the ship belonging to the organization. This person in charge deserves it. So frustrated?

"How do we know if you're real or fake?"

"That's right, we haven't seen you before. What if you are a fake?"

The two women on the left and right looked at Amanda with undisguised eyes, somewhat mockingly in their eyes.

Amanda knew that both of them were not ordinary sailors, and women would not do those rough jobs. In other words, these two women were other people, and were they specifically trying to show off to themselves?

The two of them are not even extraordinary people. Looking at their strong and vigorous figures, they may be more like dancing girls. They are wearing a small vest with various decorations, exposing their soft waists, but they also have two daggers in their waists. Lower back.

But if someone really underestimates them, they will suffer a loss. As a member of the organization, Amanda knows that these are actually those who have been trained. It is a profession among the Roma people that integrates dance into combat. There is no difficulty for them.

Extraordinary people, especially spellcasters, are usually relatively fragile and lack close combat capabilities. They need some guards to buy time and protect themselves. For example, the two Roma elders who came to drive the car were the guards.

For example, Amanda has a good extraordinary talent, and she can also work hard to practice combat, and then masters both combat and spell casting. Otherwise, why would she be compared with Tamara, who has such an incredible talent?

Lara Croft of the Eagles was able to escape the pursuit of the wolves, but being caught directly by her speaks volumes about her strength.

She could easily defeat the two people in front of her, but the real owner hadn't seen them yet.

"How can you be so rude to the person in charge~"

A rather high-pitched voice came. Amanda looked up at the boat ladder and saw a beautiful woman in her thirties walking out.

You can see the woman's gorgeous but thin dress and exposed wheat-colored skin, decorated with various accessories.

The Roma people are relatively unrestrained, and only those who are aging, or those who have fled, such as Tamara, will wrap themselves up tightly.

Seeing the person coming, Amanda finally understood why the two little fishes and shrimps dared to stop her. It turned out that there was someone behind them. Was this a deliberate attempt to give herself a blow?

Amanda is only in her early twenties, so the two are not from the same class at all, but she has probably heard about the person in front of her.

The person in charge of the organization in Totnes is a transcendent and a master spell caster, and may be even stronger than himself.

She actually came here in person!

As the person in charge, she knew something about it. The organization eliminated many Roma people in the empire, but it still retained the stronghold of Totnes.

Because it is so critical, and it is the place where information gathers and circulates. Even if you call me, you can't lose it.

For the organization, Totnes is its own system, which is equivalent to a special zone. It is all a matter of interest and it is difficult for her to get involved.

But why would she come here in person for such a trivial matter?

Obviously she came here not for those Roma people, but for herself!

If the previous person in charge was promoted, it would be her turn to be the person in charge, but she was directly parachuted in by the elders, and now she meets the local powerful people?

Most extraordinary people talk about strength first. Now there is a high probability that I can't beat her, and she still has real power in her hands...

Amanda looked at the woman and felt an inexplicable pressure.

The confrontation has begun...

…………

Some of the navy members were directly taken over by Lance from Walter's family, and their families were also assigned houses, land, and jobs.

So when they take a vacation, they can return directly to their new home.

Then they learned about the food shortage that happened in Owendo City and all kinds of outrageous things from their family members.

This is in sharp contrast to the quiet, peaceful and well-supplied Hamlet, which deepens their sense of identification with this place.

"The bathhouse should be open now. You stink too much. Go take a bath and come back."

"Bathhouse?" The man was a little strange. It hadn't been built before they left. Did it happen so quickly?

"That's right. The bathhouse in the town has been repaired. I'm sweating no matter what I do in the summer. It's much more comfortable to take a bath!" At this point, the woman became excited. "Come on, I'll take you to take a bath."

The woman put on a set of clothes and took the man to the bathhouse in the town. Along the way, she also told him about the benefits and rules of the bathhouse.

For example, the shower area must be cleaned with herbs before entering the bath. Those who are sick cannot enter. There are cold pools and hot pools, as well as some scrubs, saunas and fumigations...

The lord said that bathing regularly and keeping clean would prevent you from getting sick easily. He also gave scientific explanations of some misunderstandings that caused illness due to bathing in the past, the characteristics of several common diseases, etc...

Because Lance takes the form of a large square classroom, he repeats these things every day, and because the lord said it, everyone in the town understands it more or less.

Even an ordinary person who can't read a word can speak clearly and eloquently. This is why it is important to open up people's wisdom.

They are not stupid, they just have no channels at all. If you give them a chance and create an environment, they will grow.

The man was used to not feeling it, but when he heard this, he felt itchy all over his body, and he couldn't wait to go out and walk towards that side.

What's amazing is that I can see several comrades being brought along along the way.

"Hello two, is this the basic model or the upgraded model?"

Because of the popular science mentioned earlier, the man understands that the basic thing is to just take a bath and soak in the bath, without additional items. The upgrade will naturally have more items to choose from, and of course, there will be a corresponding increase in money.

"Just the basics will be enough." After all, he still has a family, and he is not willing to spend money to enjoy it. To be honest, he would rather just go to the river and wash himself.

"Okay, a copper coin."

The man was about to pay but was stopped by his wife.

"Wait, I have a coupon."

The woman took out a piece of paper and handed it to the clerk, then turned to the man and explained.

"As a reward from your lord, I, as an outstanding employee of our factory, also gave you a lot of coupons."

The woman looked particularly proud when she talked about this. After all, this was a reward that only those with outstanding performance were eligible to receive. This was the lord's recognition of them.

"I won't go in. Remember, the men's bathroom is on the left. Don't go wrong. Wash slowly and get clean."

After the woman finished speaking, she stuffed the clothes into the man's hands and turned around to leave. When the man reacted, she realized that there was only one ticket, which was specially reserved for herself...

"Guest, this is your herbal medicine. This is the towel given to you for the first time. Please come here." The clerk raised his hand and handed over a small piece of green candle-like material, and a simple rough linen towel, and then motioned him to come over.

Men do know that this is the herbal medicine mentioned just now. Rubbing the whole body after touching the water can disinfect and clean the body.

After taking the things, he naturally entered the men's bath on the left. After entering, the man felt that everything was so novel and started his first bathing adventure in it.

It is definitely impossible for the great Roman emperor to lie down here. After all, Hamlet's bathhouse is a formal place.

Lance still pays more attention to personal privacy. The bathing area is a separate space, and people who take a bath or walk around outside tie towels around their waists.

After entering it, we naturally came to the bathing area under the guidance and found an empty seat to enter.

When the herbs were rubbed on his body, the faint smell of grass finally cleared away the odor of sweat. When the cold water poured down and washed away, he felt like he had been reborn, and his body felt lighter than ever before.

The herbal soap jointly developed by Lance and Greendale is another core technology of the bathhouse. It can sterilize and kill viruses, remove greasiness, and keep you refreshed all day long.

Why would they come here if they don't have any skills?

Thanks to Lance's marketing, the bathhouse is no longer as empty as before, and now there are people coming not long after it opens.

Although some of them use coupons, as long as they accept the bath, they may be reluctant to leave the pool when the weather gets colder.

It is necessary to invest in creating an environment and cultivating consumption habits in the early stage.

You must know that they are not the only new people in the town. The sailors and crew members of the cargo ships began to look for other pastimes after eating and drinking, but they were stopped when they came to the brothel.

Lance has provided them with regular jobs, but there are always some who like to make money while lying down. With people's hearts like this, all he can do is standardize and clean, and put an end to coercion and coercion, and then there is hygiene, which is very important for those prostitutes. .

A shower was given to those sailors to wash themselves off before going to bed.

But those sailors who were not short of money didn't even go to the brothel after trying the additional services.

Damn, after being tired for so long, a woman can still take a bath and feel comfortable~(End of chapter)
