Chapter 529 Leisurely
Charles, whose body was trapped in a soft and warm quilt, slowly opened his eyes.
After pausing for a second, Charles realized that it had been several days since he had returned to the shore when he did not feel the familiar sway.
The smooth and delicate body in her arms disappeared, and it seemed that Anna had gotten up very early.
Charles yawned lazyly, smelled the fragrance on the pillow next to him and closed his eyes again. He was very comfortable now, and he wanted to sleep for another night.
Unfortunately, habits cannot be changed easily. Charles had never had a bad habit of staying in bed before, and now he can't learn it for a while.
He lifted the quilt and stood up. He walked to the balcony in his pajamas and looked at the lively street outside the iron fence of the Governor's Mansion.
The naval fleet of Hope Island returned to the port, and as the collective memorial service for the battle against the dead ended, the impact of the war on Hope Island gradually disappeared.
At this time, the soldiers took the salaries and rewards they paid, and took to the streets on vacation to release the pressure brought by the war, so the streets were very lively.
Charles' excellent vision can see a long queue at the door of a shop a mile away. The shop seems to be newly opened and has never seen it before.
"Well... there seems to be something new on the island, go and have a look."
As soon as Charles pushed open the bedroom door, the servant outside the door immediately came up with clean clothes.
"No need to change it. I think the pajamas are quite comfortable to wear, so that's it." Charles took out his wallet from his clothes.
"Governor, that breakfast..." the maid said hesitantly.
"I'll buy some of it outside, you can eat it. If you have eaten it, then feed it to Lily's mouse." Charles said, walking down the corridor full of famous paintings and walking towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion along the carving relief.
After walking a few steps, he stepped back and then buttoned his right eye with his hand and placed the black and red spider on the maid's clothes. "Feed it, the little thing is a little hungry."
This kind of thing is really good. It not only makes up for half of Charles' lack of vision, but also can be used as a scout at critical moments.
However, this spider has to be fed every interval, which is really troublesome.
Following the side door where the servants purchased things, Charles walked out on the street in his pajamas pocket.
After a while, Charles had a glass of milk oyster in his hand. He walked slowly while sucking the sweet shells.
Hope Island has a lot of new roadside delicacies, which smell good, but for Charles, milk oysters, this simple food has a special emotion, and is not comparable to other snacks.
When Charles completely wiped out the things in his hand, he came to the long dragon.
Only then did Charles realize that this popular store was a newly opened mechanical furniture store.
Through the thick glass, you can see various mechanical and electrical appliances placed inside.
For example, a mechanical washing machine weighing 200 kilograms and a vacuum cleaner with wheels higher than humans are all inspiration from the photos on Charles' mobile phone.
Of course, it is not suitable to say that it is electrical appliances. Some machines do not use electricity but are winded.
"Hey, hey~! The boy in pajamas should not look around, he said, "What about you!"
Charles, who was looking around, turned his head and looked at the long dragon next to him, talking to one of the people in the queue. "Is there anything wrong?"
"Yes, you're actually wearing pajamas. You must be a rich man, right? How about it? Do you want to go in? I can sell my location to you, and wait a few more minutes to arrive."
The man's mouth was wide open, revealing the yellow tartar in the middle of his teeth, and there were patches on the inside of his collar, which didn't look like someone who could afford to buy things in this store.
Charles walked to him and looked at the long dragon for a few seconds. "Line in line?"
"Of course, did you not see the Navy holding a gun standing at the door of the shop? This is the property of the Governor. Do you dare not queue up? That's it, I'll take you a little cheaper, 200 echoes."
"I tell you that there are only so many goods today, and they will be gone after they are sold out. You will definitely not be able to buy it if you line up from behind now."
"No hurry. I just came to the island not long ago. I don't know much about it. Are there many people buying this thing on the island?"
The man glared with big eyes, "Didn't you see this long dragon? Although the things are expensive, I hope there are many rich people on the island!"
"Usually, it's much more cost-effective to hire someone to do laundry and clean it, right?" Charles asked again.
The man in line showed a hint of pride on his face, "You don't understand this, comparative things are something that others don't have. Nowadays, if you don't have this set of things at home, you will be embarrassed to call yourself a comparative person."
"Oh~" Charles nodded in a clear way. It seemed that this was Gordon's work. Whether it was useful or not, anyway, others had it, they must have it themselves.
Only the people on Hope Island have the leisure time to compare these things in the entire earthly sea.
"How is it? You are also a person from the island, right? Do you want to have a set?"
Charles thought for a while, took out two green echo banknotes and handed them to him.
The man took the money, and was ready to leave with a happy face.
"Is there no other life on the island? Why do you have to do this for a living?" asked Charles, standing in the team.
"Hehe, as long as you get up early and stand for a while every day, you will come to my pocket by yourself. What kind of work is so easy? I won't change it for me to be the governor! I can drink two days of wine at a time!" The man shook the banknotes in his hand proudly, and turned around and walked towards the dock area.
Charles waited patiently, and just as the shop was about to open, a big belly pressed against his back.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Planck, the chef of the Narwhal, took out an echo banknote and handed it to an old man next to him.
"Captain? Why are you here too? Is this missing from the Governor's House?" Planck stared at Charles with his little eyes.
"I didn't just go around, I heard from Lily, aren't you going to open your own restaurant? Do you still have time to go shopping?" Charles asked to him.
"Yes, I plan to open a restaurant, so I plan to buy a TV. After visiting other restaurants these days, I found that as long as one is placed inside, the business will not be too bad, so I also need one."
According to Planck's words, Charles knew that compared with other household appliances used for comparison, televisions are the most popular among islanders. After all, who doesn't like to watch theater dramas anytime and anywhere?
Moreover, some popular dramas in the theater sometimes cannot buy a good location when you enter.
But now as long as there is a TV, you can watch it repeatedly at home at any time, as long as you want,
It's not just dramas, puppet shows, operas, acrobatics, animal taming, you can buy the same tapes if you want.
No wonder why Planck had to install a TV in his own restaurant.
