Chapter 112 The Competition of Giving Birth
On the open ground at the entrance of the garrison, dozens of rows of simple long wooden tables were arranged according to the terrain.
Due to the large number of people, meals will have to be arranged here temporarily.
More than 500 chiffon soldiers sat on both sides in small squads, their backs straight, but their eyes could not hide their eagerness.
The table was full of Iridium vegetables, so ordinary they looked like rye, and they were all drizzled with butter and olive oil. How luxurious!
They now finally realize just how terrifying the new lord is.
A magical garden that can automatically hammer out a stone house in three days and accelerate crop growth in just a few more days.
Compared to that portal that leads to the mines of another world, those things seem like child's play.
The world is not without strange and wonderful magic and talents, but none of them have ever been as completely beyond their comprehension as this portal.
When they come to Chiffon Cake, they always feel like they have stepped into a whole new world, where every corner is full of surprises, mysterious and magnificent.
They finally realized that it wasn't that they were special, but rather that their lives had intersected with the lord's, which was why they were the lucky ones sitting here.
But they firmly believed that although they were of mediocre talent, their loyalty to their lord was second to none; otherwise, they would not have the face to accept such luxurious treatment that they could not even dream of.
Their eagerness grew stronger, and the sound of swallowing filled the air, but no one dared to make the first move, all waiting for the order to start the meal.
At the main table near the entrance, Karl and eight other guards sat, awaiting the lord's arrival.
With the territory's population growing, some rules need to be observed.
In other territories, only Karl, the legion commander, and Owen, who held the position of Minister of Crafts, were qualified to sit at the same table and eat with the lord.
It would be proper for Im and Anthony to sit at the same table as the other sergeants; sitting here would be going overboard.
But these nine were core family members recognized by Richard, and their status was slightly higher than that of the veterans, so it was only natural for them to sit here.
Even though they held a special position, their thoughts at this moment were no different from those of the other soldiers; all they could think about was food.
They were all staring at the grill next to the head of the table, where thick-cut steaks were grilling, their fat sizzling and dripping onto the charcoal, sparking and making their mouths water.
I didn't notice it normally, but now I can't stand the smell.
Since they started following the lord, their meals have been absolutely amazing; even a Star Emperor would drool over them.
but...
It's too plain!
From the time when Silver Star Parsnip was first produced to today's Iridium Star Salad, every day is a hodgepodge of various vegetables. Let alone steak, I have never even tasted a bite of fresh meat.
To put it bluntly...
My poop hasn't smelled bad lately.
Other lords didn't eat like that. Just like the day Frost entertained Richard, the dishes they cooked were a mix of meat and vegetables, such as stewed veal hooves with silver star carrots.
Only Richard was so ruthless that as long as the soldiers had a spare moment in their stomachs, they had to eat Iridium crops to accumulate life force in preparation for advancing to the intermediate level.
Remington, sitting next to Anthony, suddenly nudged him in the waist with his elbow, tilting his chin toward Leila by the grill, his tone full of mockery.
"Anthony, are you going to be yawning and weak again tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, the long table at the head of the table erupted in laughter, which drew the attention of the veterans at the nearby tables, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Anthony's face flushed instantly, and in a fit of rage, he jabbed Remington twice with his elbows, his voice low and menacing: "Your wives are here too, so don't laugh at each other. If you've got the guts, you can sleep separately tonight!"
Anthony's embarrassment instantly resonated with everyone, and the laughter grew even louder, though with a slightly peculiar flavor.
Barrett tapped his fingers on the table and suggested with a laugh, "Hey, hey!"
"How about we make a bet and see who can get their wife pregnant first? The loser eats garlic for a month, how about that?"
This suggestion instantly ignited everyone's competitive spirit, and they slammed their fists on the table and shouted.
Let's compete!
Who do you think you are?!
It's like you're saying I don't have any eggs!
They are the group of people who are most optimistic about Chiffon's future. Being able to have children with Chiffon is the best choice for both their family and Chiffon.
The lord himself guaranteed it.
We will do our best to provide the best possible environment for their children to grow up in, since they will also be part of the Chiffon family in the future.
Does this even need to be considered?
Born!
We must give birth!
Get your lover pregnant tonight!
The guards, who had been holding back for a long time, began to exchange knowing glances and lick their lips as they looked at their wives standing by the grill.
His gaze was intense.
It is in no way inferior to red-hot coal.
Leila and the others, who were grilling beef, blushed and turned their heads away, their hearts pounding from the lecherous gaze.
Although shy.
But I felt a sweet warmth in my heart.
The chiffon collar was indeed as beautiful as her husband had said, even a hundred times better than she had imagined.
The lord allocated each of the nine core families an independent stone house, which, apart from being somewhat sparsely furnished, was fully equipped with all the necessities for food, clothing, and daily use.
From small items like sewing kits and flints to large items like bedding and cooking utensils, even smoked meat and flour were plentiful.
Each household was also given a large amount of high-quality fabric so that they could cut their own clothes and no longer have to wear old clothes made of coarse linen.
Now, as I grill this precious steak myself, watching my husbands looking so proud and confident, I feel incredibly content.
They never dared to dream of such a life before.
The same goes for the guards' brothers and sisters. The lord said that once the inner city was fully built, he would give each of them a house so they could live a peaceful life.
These excellent conditions made them all smile with joy, and they all exclaimed that they had come to the right place.
The laughter and chatter at the head table mingled with the soldiers' hushed conversations, giving the last day of spring an early summer heat.
Just then, Lina walked up to the family members and greeted them with a smile.
"If you come to settle in Chiffon and encounter any inconveniences or want to improve your life, please feel free to tell me."
"I will write them down one by one and report them to the lord, and do my best to help everyone solve the problem."
Everyone responded in unison, and Leila nodded in agreement, saying, "Miss Butler."
"What do we have to complain about? The lord provided us with a stone house for free, exempted us from taxes, and gave us so much food and supplies."
"It is our good fortune to be able to settle in Chiffon Territory. If possible, please convey to the lord that we are deeply honored to be his subjects and will cherish it dearly."
Her words were echoed by everyone.
"Yes, Chiffon Collar is so good to us, we are very grateful."
"Please be sure to convey our message, Miss Housekeeper, that we don't have anything to improve."
Lina listened quietly, her smile deepening. She chatted with everyone for a few more minutes, asking about the children and discussing the layout of the stone house, making the atmosphere even more harmonious.
Just then, Im's sister, Fanny, hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Miss Butler, I have a favor to ask. We have enough to eat and wear, but we have nothing to do. If we stay here too long, we feel like we'll rust."
"I'd like to ask if there are any jobs available for us in Chiffon Territory? We'd like to contribute to the territory."
Upon hearing this, the surrounding family members immediately fell silent, their faces showing deep agreement, and they all looked at Lina.
