Chapter 165: The entire household fell
When Baron Nuolun heard that he only had to pay five gold coins a month! F**k, this house is so cheap! Quickly! Buy it.
However, when he carefully thought about it, he felt it was a little unreliable. The army of Kerte, the desert kingdom, would come soon. If Westwind Town fell, the house would be destroyed by war, so it was too early to consider buying it.
He shook his head, sighed, and said to Mayor Birch, "I won't buy it for the time being. I’ll rent it for a few days."
The mayor of White Birch smiled and said, "it's no problem to rent. The rent is fifty silver coins a day."
Baron Nuolun was a little confused, "so expensive? Each day's rent is equal to 1/10 of the follow-up payment for buying a house. “
Mayor White Birch said, "the monthly rent is more economical. It costs only five gold coins."
Baron Nuolun, “My father! Why is the rent as high as the follow-up payment for buying a house? What's the difference between rent and buying? "
The mayor of White Birch said solemnly, "it is the price set by Father. According to him, the real estate business works like this. Well, it's all official, so it's more cost-effective to consider buying it as soon as possible. "
Baron Nuolun stopped talking, and he found that the town of Westwind was a place that overcharges people but forget it. He was a nobleman, a baron, and part of the Wind Knights. He could be overcharged and could not bargain with others like a poor loser to lower his pressure. Anyway, if he rents it for a few days and leaves for 50 silver coins a day, he’ll only spend a few gold coins for four or five days, which is no big deal.
After paying the rent for two days and giving a gold coin to the mayor of White Birch, Baron Nuolun successfully moved into the large villa. He first arranged for his wife and children and his two uncles, seven aunts, and aunts to live in the main villa. The most senior maids also lived. Then, he let the servants and guards live in the small house around the main villa.
Then, he sent a maid out to buy food and return to cook.
However, he is not very hopeful about how many ingredients the town can provide. It would be nice to have a bite of chicken steak or something.
Unexpectedly, the maid returned with a strange expression on her face after a while, "Master, I just went to town to buy food and bought a lot of things. This town, my God, this town is scary. "
Baron Nuolun said strangely, "what is there to be afraid of?"
The maid took out a large bag of pepper from her basket and said, "this. This thing, in this town, is five times cheaper than in Crystal Canyon. "
"What? Five times cheaper? " Baron Nuolun was startled.
The maid took out a bag of candy, "this is sweeter than honey. It is said to be called candy. In this town, the price is five times cheaper than honey."
"This… The priest let me taste it before." Baron Nuolun was surprised again, "five times cheaper again?"
The maid took out another half of the cake, "Master, this thing must be tasted by the lady. The lady will like it."
Baron Nuolun saw at a glance that the cake was only half and frowned. "Why is it only half? What other people have eaten is dirty. How can you let my wife eat it? "
The maid hurriedly said, "this thing was cut to sell. It hasn’t been eaten yet. Moreover, it is very expensive. Half of it is a gold coin."
Baron Nuolun, “Ah… it’s only right to buy half.”
The maid began to bring out all kinds of strange things, "this is soy sauce, which is said to be used for cooking steamed fish. I tasted it in town and learned how to do it with a woman and cook it for Master later."
"This is tofu. It is said to be ground from soybeans. It is very tender and delicious."
"This is the Coca-Cola. It makes you happy with each sip."
"This is Lay’s potato chips; if you eat it with Coca-Cola, you will be twice as happy."
Baron Nuolun was dazzled and a little confused. But because of his ‘noble’ gentlemanly demeanor, he did not make a fuss any more but quietly listened to the maid and then waved and said, "go and prepare for dinner. Call my wife and children, second uncle, seven aunts, and three aunts to have dinner together. "
An hour later, Baron Nuolun's family gathered around the table and shed tears of emotion.
"The food in Westwind Town is really too beautiful." (TL: Beautiful was said in English)
The entire household fell…
The next morning, he continued to pay the rent for another ten days and refused to go, trying to see for himself whether Westwind Town could withstand the attack of the Desert Kingdom.
If it can handle them, he will buy the house and won't go anywhere.
In the case of Baron Nuolun, he was not alone. He was only the first to arrive in Westwind Town, the first noble to be shocked. As the war drew nearer and nearer, Westwind Town began to usher in the best part of the waves of immigrants.
People escape from the north almost every day, sometimes small merchants, nobles, and ordinary people. Some fled in hundreds. Some are fugitives with three or five people in their families.
When the little nobles first arrived in Westwind Town, they all looked like Baron Nuolun, arrogant, and wanted to pretend to be great in this small town. However, after entering the town, they would encounter all kinds of ruthless spirals in the face, and after their faces were swollen, the nobles behaved and dared not do anything. They obediently took out a sum of rent and rented a house to live in the second phase of Wangjiang District.
As for the poor people who fled, that is another matter.
Like the nobles, they were worried that Westwind Town could not withstand the attack of the desert kingdom. However, when they ran from the north, they had no horses to ride, no cars to ride, and they relied on their legs. They were very tired and barely had enough dry food along the way.
However, upon entering the town, they found that the ordinary townspeople in Westwind town did not seem to panic at all about the coming war. The townspeople here actually lived and worked in peace and contentment without pressure, and the town was still recruiting workers everywhere.
The mayor of White Birch posted a new recruitment notice, recruiting a large number of carpenters for the fifth phase of the Wangjiang District house project.
