Chapter 96: Casually making arrangements

Johnny didn't believe Robb at all.

Although he dared not be rude to a priest, he could not help saying, "My father! If you unfold the map like this and use your finger to say that there is a gemstone mine in an area, isn't it a little, that.…"

Robb, “Wow! You want to say that I am talking nonsense and fooling around, but you are embarrassed to say it, so you had to say the word 'that'…."

Johnny looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer that.

At this time, Lillian stood up and said, "Uncle Johnny, my master is very good. He is blessed by the gods. If he said that there is a gemstone mine there. I think there must be one."

The little maid's expression looked firm!

However, this is not enough to make a group of old miners believe Robb's "nonsense" Johnny had to say with a wry smile, "Fine, fine. I believe it."

The miners and masons now have something to do. But the half who are farmers have something to ask.

The farmers gathered around Robb and said pitifully, "Father, we are very grateful to you for arranging for us to live in Westwind Town and grow beetroot for a living. However, it is only late August, and it will take until the beginning of spring next year to grow beets. We need to sow the beets in spring. It blooms from May to June and bears fruit in July. How will we survive till spring? We can’t eat from you all the time. Do you have any other task for us to do to keep us steady?”

“Oh? That’s a problem. I also don't like dozens of people living in my house from summer to next spring.” Robb put his chin in one hand and said, "well, before next spring comes, you will plant potatoes for the time being. The end of August is the season for planting potatoes. I'll give you a batch of potatoes to sow. Before the potatoes ripen, work for me. The content of your work is to help me harvest beets and process them. By next spring, you will grow your own beets. "

“What?” The farmers were a little confused, "We understand the part about growing potatoes. But to help you harvest and process beets, I don't understand. Where can the beets be harvested?"

A farmer immediately stood up and said, "Father, we just told you that it is not appropriate to plant beets in this season. The beet seeds in your hands should have been harvested only last month, and it is not appropriate to sow them until next spring. If we could grow beets now, we wouldn't have to ask you for help.”

In a low voice, Lillian hurried over and explained, "my master doesn't grow crops in normal ways, but by divine grace."

The farmer looked confused and said, "what the heck?"

"Well, you wouldn't understand even if I told you now." Lillian said, “in short, you'll understand soon.”

Robb took out the beetroot seeds that the three adventurers brought back last time.

These beetroot seeds have been here for several days now, but Robb has been too lazy to sow them. On one hand, the desire to eat sugar finally defeated the lazy cells in his body, so he had to get up and grow beets.
