Mountain and Forest Kingdom

The short autumn passed quickly, and the sign of the cold winter was a heavy rain.

Everyone in Oak City stayed indoors early to wait for the rain, and the distant Pumexiu Town and Dumu Port, as well as the manors and mining areas, were also notified in advance.

Lawrence stood at the window and looked at the pounding rain outside. The rain pouring from the sky created a lot of water vapor, and the whole world seemed wet.

The big oak tree in the distance remained motionless in the heavy rain. Many crows and birds flew to the oak tree to escape the downpour.

Lawrence withdrew his gaze, closed the window and looked at everyone in the room.

Salil was doing housework at the table with a smile on her face and seemed to be in a good mood.

Maybe it's because I gave her a makeup box in the morning.

The makeup box is a square wooden box that can hold combs, hairpins and ropes. It is a very ordinary box.

Lawrence walked over and praised Salil in a very good mood.

"Salil, the more I think about it, the more I realize that you are very capable. Not only at sea and in agriculture, you can also arrange work in advance."

Sariel often reports on the weather conditions, usually on trivial matters, but today she felt a little embarrassed after being praised by Lawrence.

"Really?" Salil said even more happily: "Then let's eat hot pot tonight. I want to eat hotpot mutton."

Lawrence wanted to just praise him, but he didn't expect Salil to take advantage of the situation and ask for a reward.

"Okay! It just so happens that the sheep we have raised have given birth to many lambs in the past three or four years, and the Black Forest tribe also provides black goats."

"Today we have hot pot, mutton hot pot!"

Salil happily wiped the table, "Okay! I'll kill the sheep after I finish wiping the table!"

Lawrence never wronged his women. Although he could not afford to support seventy-two, he still had to take good care of the six family members around him.

Saryl, Sophia, Delenn, Khalan, Lathander, Katherine.

As for the newly arrived Jade and the other witch family, they have actually always been used as housekeepers and slave girls, and are not considered as one of their own.

Candice quickly went to prepare food with Emma, ​​while Lawrence went to work in the tool shed.

Everyone has his own interests and hobbies, as well as his own job.

Salil is a good woman who works hard to run the house. In addition to taking care of various housework, she also keeps accounts and assists others in completing the overall work. She is both a housekeeper and a secretary.

Sophia is a little follower. In addition to running around with Lawrence, she usually practices shield dodge and block techniques. She also takes time to practice dance to stay in shape.

Delen's hobbies are fitness and weapon maintenance. He also likes to play chess with others, or practice techniques such as javelin throwing and axe. Recently, he rarely uses witchcraft.

Kehalan's job is to cultivate seeds and medicinal materials. His hobbies include bathing and massage, or listening to the witch family singing, reading and sleeping.

There is no main job in Lathander. When Lawrence was there, he had nothing else to do except boil water. Lawrence came out to stabilize the situation when he was away, or made iron furnaces with Delenn. Now he rarely goes to Ironforge to help. .

Hobbies are taking baths and playing with fire.

Catherine worked the most and often went out with Lawrence, but she also had a lot of rest time to arrange by herself.

His hobbies are playing cards, drinking afternoon tea, taking baths, practicing swordsmanship and riding. He also likes hunting and standing on a big oak tree and gazing at the scenery.

Lawrence has too many jobs to count, but his hobby is enjoyment.

Delen came up from downstairs and looked at Lawrence after walking into Lawrence's workshop.

At this time, Lawrence poured a lot of stone fragments on the ground and piled them into a two-meter-long circle.

"What do you want me to do?" Delen came over and squatted down, placing his hands on his thighs and looking curiously at the small stones on the ground on his toes.

In the middle of the round stones was a twenty centimeter-high stone pillar, which looked like a flat pot lid. Delen thought for a few seconds but couldn't figure out the purpose of this thing.

Lawrence was working just to enjoy himself. At this time, in order to improve the quality of his life, he decided to become a table-turner.

"Deren, later you can solidify these stones into a two-meter-long round surface. It must be stronger so that it can be turned upside down to make a movable table."

Delen frowned and thought.

A table that can be moved?

"Is it a round sheep cart? Or a wooden barrel?"

Delenn's imagination was as poor as Saryl's, and his imagination of moving the table was as simple as that.

Lawrence explained: "It is a table that can rotate in a circle, so that when we eat in the future, we can rotate the table on this level so that everyone can eat the food they want!"

With the rotating table, everyone can eat what they want... Delen thought again based on this condition.

"Like a millstone?" Delen thought of something and looked surprised.

Lawrence was very happy, "Yes, that's pretty much it. You are much smarter than Salil." Lawrence praised in a low voice, not wanting to be heard by Salil.

Delen is not the kind of woman who talks nonsense, and she is thinking about the millstone table at this moment.

"Can we still eat food like that? I don't like eating together."

Lawrence has rich experience in this, "You must have thought differently from me. Just like Salil, you must have thought of something bad."

"Tell me what you think. It's very free anyway."

Lawrence continued to be busy making the swivel table. This table can not only be used for eating, but can also be used for many purposes, such as playing cards.

Delen expressed his thoughts, "It's like grinding wheat, pour all the food in, and then turn the stone slab to crush the food into the same thing."

Lawrence felt right, he was indeed thinking of something else.

Delen is a helper, let Delen know what she is doing, and the production will be more perfect when she helps, so it is necessary to explain.

"It's not that purpose, like this wooden board." Lawrence picked up a round cover and placed a few white chess stones on the round cover.

"A few of us are sitting around, and this wooden board is the dining table. When the dining table is turned, the rice plate and wine glass on it will be moved to the other side, saving us the time to get up to pick up the food."

"This way we can all have the same meal in the future, without everyone having to prepare their own plate and wasting food."

Delen couldn't think of such benefits, but found it very troublesome.

"Then how does this rotating table move? We will also eat by the river in the future?"

Nowadays, all kinds of mills and power rely on water, and Delen's thinking is somewhat fixed.

Lawrence introduced: "It's very simple. Just push it gently with your hand. It doesn't need to be turned all the time."

Delen almost understood Lawrence's design, but he still thought it was useless.

"One plate for seven of us is not enough to eat. I think this design is useless."

Delen was directly opposed to this rotating table design, because it would require seven people to eat one dish instead of each person preparing a portion.

Lawrence did not expect that the modern props he carefully made and used to improve the quality of life would be opposed.

Delen was very opposed and said without waiting for Lawrence to defend: "The food we can't finish can be given to the maid or fed to the dogs, but if there is not enough food, it will be very uncomfortable!"

"Isn't the teaching of our Church of the Stars just to have enough food?" Delenn asked Lawrence seriously.

Lawrence instantly understood why Delenn objected.

"We will definitely be able to eat enough. I don't mean to cut down on our food intake, but to cook more delicious food every day, so that each time we eat a little, we will feel full."

"My idea is for everyone to have a happy meal and take a bath together like taking a bath, instead of each hiding in a bathtub to take a bath."

"Eating should also be shared. Not everyone just lowers his head and looks at the dishes in front of him."

What Lawrence wants is this kind of improvement in the quality of life. He enjoys not only convenience but also an improvement in family atmosphere.

This time Delenn did not object. He also knew what Lawrence wanted to build and was very cooperative in providing help. (End of chapter)
