Laughing Clown in Pirates

Chapter 90
The great Tianlongren Willibald Saint and his wife are coming to the Water City, which is undoubtedly a big event for the impoverished Water City.

The officials were overjoyed by this, hoping that they would be in the eyes of the Tianlong people, and they would be on the rise.

This is not wishful thinking, but a regular occurrence.A while ago, an official who made Tianlong people have fun was promoted to Judicial Island as a prosecutor.

The merchants accurately said that the shipbuilders also expected this. The Tianlong people have always been generous, and maybe their ships can make them a lot of money.

The civilians were also happy about this, because officials and businessmen said it was a good thing, and most of the civilians who had never been out of the surrounding seas in their lives naturally felt so.

In short, the arrival of Tianlong people is a good thing for everyone in the water capital!
The mayor of the Water City, Ma Kai, issued an order to rectify the city appearance after receiving the news that the Tianlong people would come to the Seven Waters City to travel and live there for a short time.

The city is required to be clean and tidy, no rubbish can be piled up on the street, and no vendors are allowed to sell things along the street except the market.

The mayor spent a lot of taxes to paint the houses in the city with white walls and blue roofs, because he heard that the houses in the Holy Land were decorated like this.He wanted the Tianlong people to feel at home.

After so much effort has been put into the house, the decorations in other places are naturally indispensable.

The most obvious one is the south gate of the water capital. The mayor specially built a vault with a width of 30 meters and a height of 50 meters, on which the words "Welcome Lord Willibald Saint" are printed on it.

Beside the gate, the huge banner printed with the city of water and the capital of civilization, which was made in a hurry, fluttered in the sea breeze.

On several main rivers, there are wooden boxes filled with soil and transplanted flowers every 50 meters, extending all the way to the city hall at the top of the water capital.

The mayor also specially invited a well-known singing team from the Great Waterway, and asked them to sing the folk songs of the city of water on the river channel of the South Gate in six cruise ships.

Make sure that Heavenly Dragonman Willibald Sheng will leave a good impression on Water City, and naturally he will also leave a good impression on him as the mayor.

The heavy rain had stopped, and Espagu, nicknamed Iceberg, was walking along the coast of the residential area of ​​the water capital with a blue umbrella in his hand.He was supposed to leave the dump where his master Tom Boatman lived at 9 pm, but he had to go home early to help because of city renovations.

At the entrance of the alley, Espagu stopped. A merchant ship was docking on the shore of the main road of the city of water. The boarding board was put down, and several sailors were carrying flowers about 1.5 meters long and 0.5 meters wide. Chests, place them next to the river.

Espagu first looked back, and there were already such flower boxes on the road he walked.He looked up again, and the city hall was beyond his sight.

The sweaty sailors put down the flowers and re-boarded the ship, removed the boarding boards, and the merchant ship full of flowers set sail again, and stopped again until 50 meters away.

Espagu, who was born in a merchant family, is not an ignorant commoner who knows nothing about politics and business.

The financial situation of the city of water has always been bad. The annual tsunami of the gods of water not only made the residents unable to keep their wealth, but also caused a flood period of about 20 days to one month. During the flood period, people were unable to work. Therefore, the City Hall of the Water City has always stored relief food and relief money after the Gods of Water tsunami.

Nearly a year has passed since the last Water Gods tsunami, and the new one is yet to come.Judging by the current situation in the capital of water, that bastard mayor must have spent all his money on the grand event to welcome the Tianlong people.

Espagu clenched his fists angrily, but there was nothing he could do about it.He is just a commoner and cannot have any influence on those in power.

The reason why he did not go into business with his father but became a teacher of Tom to enter the shipbuilding industry was because he loved the shipbuilding industry, but he also wanted to change the city.

.The shipbuilding industry is the lifeblood of this city. In the distant past, when the shipbuilding industry in the Water City was extremely prosperous, even though there was an annual tsunami of the Gods of Water, the entire Water City was still relatively prosperous.

Amidst the incomparable anger towards those in power, the bored Espagu walked for more than ten minutes and returned home.Because the family has a lot of assets, their family has a big yard.

"Eispagu, you are finally back, come and help me out with your boat-painting skills!" Eispagu's father, who was standing on the ladder and painting the wall, shouted. "That group of nasty maggots asked us to paint the exterior walls white! After painting the walls, we have to paint the roof!"

His mother was painting the lower walls, and his younger brother helped with a bucket.

Espagu picked up the apron hanging on the side, and picked up the paintbrush. The wall paint smells very bad, but it is expensive waterproof paint, which is not a bad thing.

For buildings in the water capital, waterproofing is very important. Residents should regularly check the waterproofing layer of the house, and repair it immediately if there is any damage.

"They gave 6 buckets of wall paint?"

"Damn 6 barrels!" Zaizi's father scolded angrily: "They gave 2 barrels in total, and I paid for the other wall paint. The dealer took the opportunity to raise the price by 2%. I guess It has to go up tomorrow!"

"Father, you are not such a generous person!" Espagul quickly moved another ladder, and carried the blue wall paint to the roof.

"You think I'm willing to buy it. If the wall paint is not fully painted, there will be a dog who will come to check and fine!" Esbagu's father continued to scold: "At that time, it will not be able to solve the problem with a few barrels of wall paint. "

"Damn Tianlong people, why don't you stay in the Chambord Islands, why come to us!"

"I've heard that those flower sellers have made a lot of money. It's unreasonable that they can make more money selling flowers than food in these turbulent times!"

Esbagu's father's business is mainly engaged in food transportation and sales. The environment of the water city is not suitable for growing crops. Except for fishery, other food in the water city must be transported to the surrounding islands through merchants.

Because his heart is not hard enough, he is often squeezed out and suppressed by his peers, so he has always had a bad temper.

Espagu silently brushed the roof without responding, but at this moment the neighbor's voice came from outside the yard.

"Madam, can I borrow some wall paint? I went to the market to buy it, but those merchants raised the price again!"

"The wall paint in our home may not be enough!"

"As long as a little bit is enough, we can roughly paint the area of ​​a door! The wall paint distributed by the government is not enough, although we have tried our best to save, there are still so many areas that have not been painted."

"The wall paint in the market is too expensive, even if we buy the smallest specification, we can't use that much!"

Espagu straightened up and stood on the roof, seeing the flushed neighbor bending over to beg his mother.

"Look, I'll pay you for the amount of paint you pour. You know those maggots are the best at making excuses."

"Husband?" Esbagu's mother asked her husband's opinion.

"They are all neighbors, so let him spare some money." Espagu's father shouted: "Sam, you don't need to pay, they are all neighbors, and you should do a little favor."

"Thank you! Thank you!" The man thanked him repeatedly, and he was embarrassed to leave immediately after collecting the wall paint. Instead, he chatted with Esbagu's father about some family matters.

Probably because of the rectification of the city, he couldn't go out to set up a stall, and he complained about the difficulty of living without financial income.

Espagu continued to lean over and paint the roof.

He couldn't bear this hypocritical prosperity and excitement.But on the day when the Tianlongman came, he was probably helping out at Mr. Tom's dump, so he was out of sight and out of mind.

Tianlong people will never go to the garbage dump to have fun...
