Chapter 98: The New Year is approaching(1/2)
After leaving the Yellow Sea Mountain, Lorraine Hill returned to Luojing and continued to deal with the country's affairs. In fact, it had only been a few weeks, and he had not accumulated much. It was completed in just one day.
After solving these matters, Lorraine Hill was free for the time being and began to do some things that she had never had time to do before, such as practicing other sequences. Among the nine major sequences, the ones she has never touched are the ocean sequence and the magic sequence.
The original sequence.
However, the original sequence does not mean much to her. In a sense, she is the purest original sequence and can transform her own sequence at will.
You can try the ocean sequence, but you are not too anxious for the time being. Lorraine Hill plans to advance the angel sequence and demon sequence to the ninth level first. These two sequences can be said to be her two strongest forms. If there is no dragon vein,
If you support.
Therefore, in the following time, Lorraine Hill lived a very regular life. Except for the weekly court meeting, he slept in the palace on Yuzhang Mountain during the rest of the time and practiced the angel sequence.
In this way, the summer gradually passed, and fruits from various places ushered in a small bumper harvest after the disaster and war. All states in the world donated some fruits to Luojing, and Lorraine Hill tasted them one by one, which can be regarded as an understanding of the products from various places in the East today.
A clearer and more direct understanding.
Maybe in the future, different varieties can be developed according to the different climate and soil quality of various places? After tasting it, she came up with this idea, but this is a big project. At present, the country's main energy is not in this area. First, ensure the safety of food crops.
A good yield is the most important thing.
At the end of summer, the cool autumn wind blows from Hedaizhou to the continuous central plains. When the autumn wind blows, yellow leaves are flying all over the mountains, and the hot summer air dissipates. In the coolness, crops everywhere are gradually maturing, and gardenia-yellow straws
There are plump rice ears and grains hanging from it, like golden waves ripples on the ground, giving people a sense of satisfaction and happiness just looking at it.
Seeing the harvest of food, the last trace of anxiety in the hearts of the people all over the world gradually dissipated. Even the children of the farmers could feel the joy of the adults at this time. They were happier than before and ran and played in the fields.
, some adults couldn't help but shake their heads after seeing it, but they had no idea of stopping it. After all, it was a rare good year. This winter should be able to be spent safely, so let the children be happy too.
Because of the abundant food, some snacks that were previously unimaginable have become popular again among the people, such as the extra sweet and sticky maltose. These maltose that look like tofu cubes are actually very hard, with a thin layer of flour sprinkled on them.
Use a hammer and shovel to gently break off small pieces and hold them in your mouth. After a while, they will slowly soften and become chewable.
Gradually, the autumn wind turned cold, and the first winter after the founding of the People's Republic of China arrived. Snowflakes began to fall in the counties north of Nolanzhou, and people in the south also wore thicker clothes.
Lorraine Hill sat by the window in the palace, occasionally looking up at the snowflakes outside, and then continued to lower his head, cutting the window grilles in his hands. The vermilion paper was very festive, with a few gold particles sprinkled in it. Lorraine Hill
Her white and slender fingers were folding and changing like butterflies through flowers, and then the scissors were cutting briskly and continuously. The fine pieces of paper fell down, and the complicated and beautiful window grilles in her hands gradually took shape.
With the construction and expansion of glass factories, many homes in Luojing have now begun to install transparent and light-transmitting glass windows. Although window grilles have vaguely taken shape, they have not yet been officially invented and popularized.
This can be regarded as passing on the cultural meme. After Lorraine Hill cut the window grilles, he slowly unfolded them, and a slow-moving phoenix took off among the flames and flowers, which was particularly gorgeous and beautiful.
Calling the witches on the side of the room, Lorraine Hill asked them to stick the window grilles on the windows of the palace.
"Just post it in the main hall where the court is used. There are many people there."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Then the two young mikos raised their heads and looked at the special paper flowers in their hands with curiosity.
Slowly, as winter gets colder and colder, smoke rises from everywhere in Luojing. In the era before heating, most people still burned firewood to keep warm.
At the end of another morning meeting, Officer Xia came to the study room where Lorraine Hill was to pay his respects.
"Is there something wrong?" Luo Lanxi
I sat behind a neat desk and looked at this energetic young man ***.
"Your Majesty, it's the new year soon." Xia Chief Yu Caiyuan seemed to have a lot of ideas.
"Yes."
Lorraine Hill leaned lightly on the back of the chair and pressed his fingers lightly on the side of his face, thinking about what amazing ideas Commander Xia had. Among the officials of the Four Seasons, Commander Xia was the youngest and had the same ideas.
The most ideas.
The spring officer is cautious, the autumn officer is strict and rigid, and the winter officer is restrained and seldom talks. It seems that there is a reason why he is so outstanding.
"We will hold a grand New Year celebration in Luojing to wash away the twilight of the past and bring a new vitality to the world."
"So, you want money again, right?" Lorraine Hill glanced at the thoughtful Chief Xia angrily.
"Well, although it costs money, I, Xia Li, have been thinking about it for a long time. This is indeed a good thing. Maybe we can recover the cost later."
"Aren't you the one who has the final say on the Summer Court? In addition, this kind of celebration should be classified under the Spring Court." Lorraine Hill shook his finger, indicating that he was not so easy to fool.
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation." Knowing that Lorraine Hill was not the kind of person who fooled around casually, Yu Caiwen also told the plan that he had prepared for a long time.
"First of all, we will invite representatives from all over the world to gather together for this celebration to increase cohesion."
"Then various activities will be held in Luojing during the celebration, including food-related ones, specialties from all over the world, and new creations."
"There are many new handicrafts produced in Xia Guanshi now, but due to the lack of fame and promotion, few people in the world know about it, so I hope to use this as a publicity. These things will not only be convenient for the people, but also recover a lot of costs.
Accelerate the advancement of many projects, and some people among the people will imitate it and slowly open some workshops and factories, so that the world's economy will gradually become more active."
"This is true." Lorraine Hill could easily understand what Xia Guansi said. After all, she had seen too many similar activities in her previous life.
"However, maybe we can do something bigger." Lorraine Hill thought thoughtfully.
"What do you mean, Your Majesty?" Now it was Yu Caiwen's turn to ask curiously.
"I think we should find someone to record the images and sounds of the celebration with a photo stone, and then broadcast it to the state capitals of each state. This will make the effect even better."
In this era without televisions, perhaps such pictures and sounds will cause a sensation and become the memories of a generation.
I still remember the scene of sitting around the fire with my family watching the Spring Festival Gala when I was a child. Only with the advent of the Internet era, the flavor of this festival has become less and less, but it is undeniable that in that specific era, such programs did play a role
played a huge role.
"Let's do it this way. It can be continued in the future, and then it will be held once every three years. This will be more effective. And the place does not need to be limited to Luojing. It is best to change it every three years."
Rarely, Lorraine Hill agreed to Officer Xia's suggestion without discounting or criticizing. This made the other party quite surprised and excited, and then he immediately stood up and resigned, fearing that the girl might regret it.
Looking at Yu Caiwen hurriedly walking out of the palace, Lorraine Hill suddenly thought of something again.
It’s over. This time, the important celebration is handed over to Xia Guansi. I’m afraid those people in Chun Guansi will think too much about whether it will cause something else.
Leave it to Xia Guanli to handle it as a warning to suppress it."
I have to think of a better reason to comfort the timid Chief Chun. Well, let's put it this way, "Because this celebration is mainly to promote various new creations to increase production, it is an extension of Xia Guanshi's business, and Chun
The lawsuit is already very busy, so I don’t need to worry about it.”
Ever since Lorraine Hill became the first leader of the country, he seemed to have slowly learned certain methods without any teacher.
I always felt that I was not as innocent as before. After thinking about this, Lorraine Hill held the teacup and drank water slowly, sighing that life had changed his appearance.
Soon, the New Year celebrations gradually approached, and Luo Jing began to decorate with lights and red ribbons on the eaves and
Vermilion lanterns are hung in the attics and everywhere. When night falls, Luo Jing is illuminated red and lively. Even late at night, there are still many pedestrians on the main street. There are steaming stalls everywhere. You can see them when walking on the street.
A variety of delicious snacks and novel items are on sale.
"The fire-copper pancakes from the Gufia Plain~relieve the cold and are practical~"
"The ice elf dreams of ice brew, which can help you heal the most painful memories in your heart."
"The big green mango from the Southern Islands is definitely a special fruit that you have never tasted before."
"The blueberries of the Sighing Mountains are delicious ice-cold."
"Taowuzhou's Wenyu Peach Blossom Wine is made using the techniques passed down by Honghu in the past. It is absolutely pure."
"Heart-eating green locust noodles may not look like green bamboo, but they can get rid of poisonous parasites in the abdomen. Children must eat it~"
Wearing a black witch costume, black stockings, a wide witch hat on her head, and small leather shoes, Lorraine Hill walked through the streets of the night market. Because of the shadow of the hat brim, her face was slightly hazy, and her chest
The smoky crystal pendant also hides the girl's special aura very well, allowing her to lower her presence and walk on the street without causing any surprises.
Although the whole body is dressed in the style of witches and mages from the Western Continent, it is not strange in this Luojing, because there have been many guests from the east and west coming here since ancient times. It is only because of the chaos of the sea currents and wars in the past few years that there are fewer of them.
.
"Miss, do you need medicinal materials? They are of high quality and I guarantee your satisfaction." A roadside stall owner waved to Lorraine Hill on the road, as if he was sure that this girl would be interested in what he was selling.
"What is it?" Lorraine Hill looked at the stall owner with a slightly joking look. There were two very strong bodyguards standing beside him. There were many large and small wooden latticeworks placed on the stall in front of him.
, the medicinal materials are placed in it, and the top is pressed with glass to prevent it from getting damp and being taken at will.
"Of course it's rare in the west, but it's a special potion from the East. I think you've just arrived in Luojing. The magician definitely needs to refine some potions. The goods I have here will definitely be able to help you." He introduced it enthusiastically and skillfully.
stand up.
"This is the feather of the black owl in the Southern Swaggering Mountain. This is the cold vermilion that is a specialty outside the Beifu Mountain. And this is the phantom incense exhaled by the sea whale in the East China Sea. If there is anything else you need that you haven't discovered, you can also combine it with
I said, I can help you keep an eye on it."
"Are these..." Lorraine Hill looked at each one, his eyes moving, and he distinguished these things one by one.
The price has already been marked on each grid, but they are not very cheap.
"These things are very expensive."
"Of course, the materials are rare after all, but these materials can be used to refine excellent potions, and I believe they will be of greater help to the eldest lady." Seeing that Lorraine Hill seemed a little interested, he began to rub it.
Palm comes.
"No, I know some things are difficult to transport, but these things are actually not the best." Lorraine Hill blinked.
"For example, this black owl feather. There are many black owls in Baimanzhou. With just a few silver coins, you can go to the village to collect several large baskets. It is said to be cold cinnabar silver from Beifu Mountain, but it is actually some kind of cinnabar mixed with mercury silver.
The material does not necessarily have to be produced in Beifu Mountain, and it is actually not difficult to make. In addition, the last fantasy incense, logically speaking, the real fantasy incense is produced by the seventh to eighth level white whales, but you
It seems to be just an ordinary sea beast vomit, and its effectiveness is average. It can only create smoke that fools low-level monsters, and anyone with a little bit of intelligence can easily see through it."
