Chapter 118 Serfs in Action
While Gerves was testing simple grenades, the entire Storm-Terminal serfs were also taking action. Whether it was the villagers of the three villages or the villagers of Binhai Town, they had already gone out before dawn today. Everyone carried huge baskets, and all men, women, young and old were out.
Instead of running to the plowing land, these serfs all went into some dense forests and searched for wild fruits that only children would pay attention to in the dense forest. When some serfs found that there were already people in the nearby forest, they rushed to the next forest without stopping at all, and their figures were almost spread throughout the territory.
"Mom... Come here quickly, I discovered it! I discovered it!"
In a dense forest, a boy who was only six or seven years old was drilling around in the forest. His thin body played an alternative advantage among the dense bushes that were difficult to move. With his thin body, he could ignore many branches and hay blocking them, allowing the boy to move forward freely here. However, adults had to work hard to move or break the branches blocking the road because they did not use sharp iron tools to open the way.
When the little boy crawled through the path blocked by branches and weeds in a crawling posture, he finally saw the scene inside. After seeing what was in front of him, the little boy got up from the ground excitedly and almost shouted in a screaming tone.
"Dad, mom, come quickly! There are so many fruits here. Can I eat small cakes?"
"Little Kerry, you're waiting there, mom and dad come over immediately. Don't pick it yourself!"
Not far away, two middle-aged serfs, a man and a woman, were also searching everywhere. Suddenly, they heard the screams of their children and became excited immediately. If they really found that kind of thing, it would be very worth it even if they had not gone to the field to farm today.
"Little Kerry, just stay where you don't move. If you gain a lot, Dad will go to the town next door to buy cakes for you another day!"
Little Kerry could roam in the woods with his small figure, but his parents couldn't. Even though they knew Rick's location, the two of them had to take a detour and tear open the dense bushes. Rick's father was fumbled over and told Rick to remind him that he was afraid that Rick would destroy the wild fruits. After all, the butler had an explanation that he would only collect the intact and not have broken wild fruits. The butler said that the wild fruits were called grapes, and they were still very unaccustomed to the name of this grape for a while.
"Ah, Dad is the best, Grapes are the best!"
When Rick heard his father's words, he shouted excitedly, and liked the strings of purple wild fruits in front of him even more. This wild fruit was his favorite fruit before. Today he brought his parents to look for it. Because he had seen it here when he was playing, even those older friends didn't know it because they couldn't get in. This is Rick's secret base and a treasure house of snacks.
Today, for the sake of the fragrant and sweet cake, Little Rick told them his treasure house without hesitation when his parents asked about it. After all, although the wild grapes and wild fruits are delicious, he can eat them every day, but the fragrant and sweet cake can only be eaten once a year.
In fact, Little Rick didn't know that his so-called cake was just white bread, but it was just adding some dried wild fruits and jam to the white bread, which became the cake for these serf children.
In the true sense, only nobles can eat cakes. They need to be baked with eggs, sugar and fine flour. Compared to the white bread that is just a little cleaner, it is not known how many times delicious it is.
A few minutes later, Kerry's parents worked a lot to finally open up a path and came to Rick. When they arrived at the open space surrounded by branches and weeds, they also saw seven or eight vines growing in the open space. The vines of these vines were everywhere, and bunches of purple crystal clear grapes were hung with vines.
"Little Rick, good, after these grapes are exchanged for money in the castle, Dad will buy you cake tomorrow, buying a piece of dad's fist."
Rick's father was very happy to see so many grapes, but when he squatted down and looked at the several cut wounds on his young face of his five or six-year-old son, his eyes were a little red. He gently stroked Rick's head with his hands and assured Rick in a loving tone.
"Yeah! Thank you dad! Thank you mom!"
Little Rick didn't even notice the wound on his face. He only heard that he could eat the cake immediately. He jumped up happily. Seeing Rick like this, his father and mother hugged him tightly, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
The entire Storm Territory of the Storm was in action, including the seaside villages, but the slight difference was that the people in the seaside villages were divided into two waves, and one group of people drilled into the forest like other serfs and searched for grapes everywhere.
Another group of people came to the beach. Among the groups of people on the beach, children are the main force. This is because children usually do the job of picking up oysters and catching lobsters. They are more familiar with the habitat of these seafood than some adults, so the task of finding seafood is given to the children, and a few adults are responsible for the arrest after the children find the habitat of seafood.
Oysters can be found between the reefs, but lobsters need to go to the sea to search. Because the children's sampan was lost not long ago, so when I learned yesterday that the Lord would spend money to buy these seafood, the whole village mobilized them. More than ten people in groups of people cut down many huge trees and hollowed out the interior directly to make simple boats. Although the boats have low resistance to waves, they only need to leave the beach for a few dozen meters to see the lobster group, so it is just enough.
Gevis didn't know that because of his instructions, the serfs in the entire territory were excited. In fact, there was no need to work every day in arable land, but the serfs did not go to the ground, so what could they do? Women and children could also pick wild vegetables and fruits, but male serfs had nothing to do, so they couldn't stay idle. They usually stayed in the farming power, which not only drove away birds and beasts to harm the dealer, but also cleaned up the weeds that had just emerged.
But now it’s different. Picking wild fruits called grapes has become an opportunity to make money. In the eyes of serfs, it is a big profit. Originally, only children and women work as friends, but male serfs have become the main force.
