Starting Today, I’ll Work as a City Lord

"Then don't go in, let's wait outside." Darlene nodded, and stood outside the pizzeria, waiting with Catherine, chatting a few words from time to time.

The people who came in and out of the pizzeria looked at the two women strangely, and muttered to themselves, is this smelling the fragrance outside the door?

half an hour later...

"Kagji!"

Eliza pushed open the door of the pizzeria, and saw Darlene and Catherine standing outside, shaking their legs from time to time.

"Why are you standing here? Why don't you come in?" Eliza was shocked. She thought the clerk was joking with her, saying that a friend was waiting for her outside.

"Aren't you working?" Darlene scratched her cheek and said awkwardly, "We will disturb your work if we go in and don't eat."

"Yeah, we just stood there for a while." Catherine shook her heels, which were a little numb from the cold.

The two had been standing for half an hour because they didn't want to go in and disturb Eliza's work. After all, if they didn't eat, they would delay people and occupy their seats. This is not something an educated person can do.

"Really." Eliza rolled her eyes and said helplessly, "Why don't you come in and let me know?"

She is the store manager now, so she can leave first, but there are no special circumstances, and she will leave for a while.

"It's okay, we just arrived for a while." Darlene pulled her long red hair and said softly, "Can you go now?"

"Yes!" Eliza nodded and said softly, "Wait for me, I took off my apron."

"Okay." The two nodded.

Eliza went into the pizzeria, took off her apron, and came out after a few words. Emerald green eyes looked at the two of them and said, "Do you want to go to my house again today? Or go to Zuixiaolou for dinner?"

"Go to your house." Darlene said quickly.

"Okay, then go to Zuixiaolou to pack and order food? Then buy a few steamed buns, how do you like it?" Eliza suggested.

This is how she eats. After all, she will get tired of eating pizza at the pizza shop all the time, so she will go to Zuixiaolou to order a dish she likes to eat, and then buy a few steamed buns, which is a dinner.

"Okay, I will do as you say." Catherine nodded. The last time I went to Eliza's house was to eat pizza.

"Then let's go." Eliza smiled lightly, and took the lead to walk forward.

Passing by the steamed bun shop, I bought twelve steamed buns, then went to the second floor of Zuixiao Building to pack six dishes, which cost about 700 copper coins, which was paid by Darlene.

Then she walked towards Eliza's rented house, which was still her family's living until now.

"Eliza, you live here by yourself, won't you be afraid?" Catherine looked around curiously. She didn't look seriously last time.

"Ah?" Eliza was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Afraid? Why are you afraid?"

"You look so beautiful, won't anyone come to harass you?" Catherine's golden eyes were worried, "In the capital, I heard that there are many beautiful girls, if you live alone, some perverted men will come to harass you .”

"No." Eliza shook her head, and said softly, "There are always patrolmen patrolling here, and no one dares to make trouble. If you are caught, you will be locked up in the dark room."

She didn't say anything, except for the police patrolling, the main reason is that she works in a pizza shop, which is run by the city lord, who would dare to harass her.

"Little black room? What is that?" Darlene asked curiously. Even though the two had lived in Xiyang City for four days, they still didn't understand many things and hadn't heard of many things.

"Hmm..." Eliza tightened the paper bag in her hand, and said calmly, "It's the place where the Security Department detains the prisoners. It's a small room that is completely dark, and they are locked in for a few days."

"Huh? Are you going to starve the prisoner?" Catherine asked in surprise.

"No, it's just closed, and I heard that it will also serve barley porridge." Eliza smiled lightly. She heard about this small black room from customers in the pizzeria, but she actually didn't know the usefulness of it.

"Wow? Isn't this punishment too light? Didn't those prisoners go in and enjoy it?" Catherine exclaimed. She knew the punishment in the capital. Some prisoners committed crimes, and at least they would be whipped a few times.

"Small black room?" Darlene frowned. She felt that there must be something different about this punishment, but there was too little information, so she couldn't analyze anything.

"Let's go in and talk inside." Eliza urged, the weather outside is really cold.

"Um."

"good."

"Kagji!"

The door opened, and Eliza went in first, taking off her thick animal-hide boots and putting on animal-skin slippers.

"You guys should change it too, the animal skin slippers I just went to the big market to buy yesterday."

Eliza took out two pairs of animal skin slippers from the shoe rack, squatted down and put them in front of the two of them, and said softly, "It's more comfortable to wear these kinds of shoes indoors."

"Okay!" Catherine changed into animal skin slippers and said in surprise, "Shoes like this are so convenient."

"I think so too." Eliza got up and said with a smile, "The big market will launch new things every once in a while, such as this animal skin slippers are also sold by geniuses these days."

"It seems that I'm going to go shopping in the big market too." Darlene's blue eyes flickered as she changed her shoes and said, "I'll buy a few pairs and bring them back to the capital."

"Sit down first, I'll go make a fire."

Wearing slippers, Eliza walked to the dining table to put down the steamed buns, then came to the stove in the corner of the house, and skillfully lit the fire. She looked like a housewife, not an elegant elf at all.

This scene stunned Catherine and Darlene again. They had never done this kind of thing before, and there were maids doing it at home. Even if it was the second time to see their friends doing such a thing, they felt very surprised.

"What are you doing standing there, put your things down." Eliza put the kettle on the stove, turned her head and saw the two of them staring blankly, and said amusedly, "Haven't you seen it? This is life."

"Eliza, we will sleep at your place tonight." Darlene said softly, and put a few bamboo tubes in her hand on the dining table.

"Ah?" Eliza opened her mouth, staring blankly at Darlene, and Catherine who was also blank.

"Can't you?" Darlene blinked her blue eyes.

"Of course, it's just that the bed is a bit small and it will be crowded." Eliza smiled lightly, "If you don't think it's too crowded, you are welcome to stay overnight."

Chapter 0321 Three women talk at night.

"Tonight, we're going to have a good chat."

Catherine raised her hand and shouted that they had slept together before, but the next day her father led knights to surround Darlene's house and kept her away at night, and she was grounded for half a month that time.

"Okay." Eliza nodded, raised her hand to grab her hair, and took out a hemp rope from the cabinet to tie her hair, revealing her pointed ears.

"Last time Darlene was terrified." Catherine chuckled lightly.

"Can you not be frightened? The Duke surrounded my house with knights, and even said that he would not let you go, so he wanted to kill you." Darlene rolled her eyes and said.

"Hmm! I was shocked that day too. I thought I was exposed." Eliza stretched her waist, walked to another cabinet, and took out plates and chopsticks from it.

"Uh... I didn't know that my father would have such a big reaction if I didn't go back all night." Catherine scratched her cheek and hurried forward to help carry the plate.

"Who's daughter doesn't come home all night, can the parents not be in a hurry?" Darlene said unhappily. She took the plate and poured out the vegetables in the bamboo tube.
