Chapter 261:Amazing grilled lamb! (1)

When Charlotte returned to the clinic, Kashaa told him that Vivian had gone to the alchemy workshop and hadn't come back yet.

He had been worried about her safety on the way, but Kashaa said that Buddy came to find him at noon and took Vivian to the workshop, so he could finally put his mind at ease.

However, this also made Charlotte consider an urgent matter. To facilitate Vivian's commute to and from work, as well as delivering goods to customers, he had to get a carriage.

Leo gave him a hundred thousand in funds the day before, and the past two days' earnings were close to a hundred thousand copper coins. Today, he obtained another hundred thousand from the Wutu Mercenary Corps on this trip. He had more than enough cash to buy a carriage.

After changing into a new set of clothes, Charlotte went out again.

He went straight to the livestock trading market and, after some selection, spent 150,000 copper coins to buy two large black horses from the Loren grasslands. They were strong and sturdy, with bright and energetic eyes. They were also in their prime, similar in size, and had a gentle temperament, making them perfect for pulling a carriage.

With the horses acquired, he then spent 1,200 copper coins to buy a second-hand carriage.

Customizing a regular carriage frame would cost thousands or even tens of thousands of copper coins. Charlotte didn't want to wait for such a long construction period, so he bought a second-hand carriage that was solidly built and in nearly new condition.

He harnessed the two horses to the carriage, and everything fit perfectly without any adjustments needed.

"This carriage was previously owned by a noblewoman. It was used for shopping in Calva on regular days and has hardly any wear and tear," the owner said as he accepted the money, wearing an expression that seemed as if Charlotte had made a huge profit.

"So, this is what they call a lady's shopping carriage?" Charlotte climbed into the carriage and looked around. It had thick cushions all around, and front and back seats that could accommodate six passengers at the same time.

Half of the purpose of this carriage was to deliver goods. After returning, he planned to remove the rear seats and connect the trunk so that he could fit more goods.

Charlotte drove the carriage in a circle, confirming that the two horses and the carriage frame were in good condition. He settled the payment, then drove the carriage straight to the alchemy workshop.

The sky was already dark.

"I do."

Charlotte's eyes lit up as he looked at Klee and said, "That's great, Klee. Could you temporarily serve as a coachman? Your main job will be to pick up and drop off Vivian for work, as well as handle the few delivery tasks."

"No problem." Klee nodded without hesitation.

"Very good. I will pay you an additional 2,000 copper coins per month," Charlotte said.

Hiring someone to make one delivery would cost 1,000 copper coins, and with two deliveries per month, he would earn that money back.

Having someone pick up and drop off Vivian each day would save him a lot of time and ensure her safety.

"Well, um..." Klee hesitated for a moment before saying, "Doctor, can I also pick up Ab from the workshop after dropping Miss Eileen off at the clinic?"

"Sure, every morning you can use the carriage to take Ab to the blacksmith shop. But in that case, taking care of these two horses' feed will be your responsibility. I'll provide the supplies," Charlotte said.

"Okay, don't worry. I've fed horses before and know how to take care of them," Klee smiled. Because it was too far away, he had to leave Ab at Guy's place for the past two days. With Charlotte's permission, Ab could now stay with him again.

"Then get in the carriage too, and let's go back to Baka Street. It's just right to pick up Ab on the way," Charlotte said.

"Alright." Klee nodded.

He took the reins and said, "You go inside. I'll drive."

Charlotte didn't argue with him.

Taking advantage of the remaining daylight, he let Klee familiarize himself with the carriage first.

It would be safer when he came back with Ab.
