Adelaide bid farewell to Ellie with a big smile. Every time she came to Taoyuan Village, she had a different experience.
Just like the Statue Square they had just passed, the new pavilion had been built, and a large group of children were playing on a table inside with a Gomoku chessboard.
Some children were even wearing new-style short-sleeved shirts and trousers, which looked like they were very cool.
Adelaide remembers that this place used to be full of mud and dust, and now it has been renovated so well that she finds it unbelievable.
As Carly and I walked out of Taoyuan Village, the honey -buying advertisement posted on the billboard at the village entrance was already yellowed and the writing was a bit blurry.
" Carly, take that piece of paper down. We'll get a new one tomorrow."
Honey is a very important commodity, and Adelaide needs to purchase it regularly. Currently, all the sweet things in the territory rely on honey, and Adelaide has only traded it twice so far, demonstrating how difficult it is to obtain honey anywhere.
" Sister Adelaide, look, there are also requests to buy soap on this."
Carly got their honey purchase information, and now the billboards no longer only have theirs, but also other people's, all looking to buy things that the Everything Sold Department Store doesn't have.
"Hehe, Master's idea is really good. Carly, do you see the long row of houses being built over Peach Road? That's the Market under construction. Most things will need to be traded there in the future."
"Oh, Adelaide, I see. No wonder Lord Ed put walls around that area; he was planning to build the Market here."
Carly was thinking that the market must have a lot of things, and it would be troublesome if someone came to rob it. Now that the city walls have been built, there's no need to worry; robbers can't easily get in.
Just like their market, the only entrance and exit is heavily guarded.
"Yes, Carly, a hotel will be built there later for people who come to trade to stay."
" Sister Adelaide, I have a question. What if people come and see how nice our place is and decide not to leave? And there are a lot of people, but we don't have enough food. Won't they steal our food?"
Adelaide looked at Carly, and she really thought Carly had far too many strange ideas.
However, Adelaide, as the quartermaster of the First Guard of Gray Castle Territory, did know some inside information.
"Don't worry, Carly. Houses will be built along Peach Road in the future. People coming to trade will have to go around to get to where we are now. The Fir Tree Police Squad will be checking at the intersections they have to cross. And I heard from the master that they might issue a document to the people of the territory to prove that they are from Grey Castle Territory."
Adelaide loved Grey Castle Territory as it was now and didn't want anyone to damage it. She looked at the somewhat incredulous Carly and continued:
"The city walls will also have gates in the future. If a large number of people come, they will not be allowed to enter easily through the gates, so you don't need to worry at all."
Carly was stunned; she had to admire Lord Ed's many strange ideas.
Lord Ed had everything arranged perfectly; all she needed to do was eat and drink well every day, and any other thoughts seemed superfluous.
"Alright, Carly, let's go back! Hopefully, the saplings on both sides of Chenghua Avenue will survive, so we'll have some shade to hide in next summer."
"Yes, Adelaide, that's what I was thinking too. But could you tell Lord Ed that the trash can by the roadside is too ugly? Could you change the appearance of other trash cans in the future?"
"hehe!"
Carly's words made Adelaide laugh. The frog trash can lying on the ground with its big, funny mouth seemed to appear right in front of Adelaide's eyes.
